Chapter 559: Wu Xiuxin, who is somewhat similar to Shu He
When he turned around, he wanted to go see Concubine Qing, but suddenly noticed that standing next to him was the King of Western Chu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Jiang Zhenlei?!" Emperor Qiwen's face showed a hint of surprise, and a bit of joy. "Why did you dare to bring your wife out today?"
In previous years, he would stay at home with his wife at such banquets and wouldn't even come when he was called!
What's going on today? The sun is rising from the west?
Jiang Zhenlei is tall, with a standard square face, strong and tough features, and a righteous demeanor. One can tell at a glance that he is from a military family.
He smiled heartily and bowed to Emperor Qiwen again, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years, and you haven't changed at all!"
When Emperor Qiwen ascended the throne, it was not all smooth sailing.
The most common thing is that brothers fight for the throne and kill each other.
However, at that time, Jiang Zhenlei was the one who wholeheartedly supported him. When they were young, the relationship between them was as close as brothers.
If it weren't for Jiang Zhenlei and Baili Qingren, Emperor Qiwen might not have been able to sit in this position.
"I can't compare to you. Look at me, my hair is already gray! And you still have black hair, and even fewer wrinkles than me!"
Emperor Qiwen sighed a little. When he first saw his former best friend, his thoughts seemed to go back to decades ago.
Jiang Zhenlei smiled but said nothing. He hadn't been in charge of anything in recent years, so naturally he had fewer worries. Naturally, his mentality was younger than that of an emperor.
"Is Princess Chu feeling better these days?"
Emperor Qiwen looked at the Princess of Chu. Her face was elegant, but her eyes and brows were gentle, just like when she was young. She made people feel very comfortable when looking at her.
But there was a slight paleness on that face, which made him feel a little strange.
If it weren't for... would she be with him now?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am still the same as in previous years, nothing has changed."
The words "subject's wife" made his heart ache slightly. He quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Zhenlei, "Why did you think of leaving the mansion today?"
"Who is this girl?"
Behind the Princess of Chu followed a tall woman with a stunning face.
They had another daughter?!
How come he didn't get the news?
The Princess of Chu looked at the woman behind her and explained with a smile, "This is the child of my cousin from my mother's family. He was sent to the Western Chu Palace when he was young. I have watched him grow up!"
Hearing this, Emperor Qiwen felt inexplicably relieved and said with a smile, "She was raised by the Princess of Jin. No wonder she looks so calm and composed. She's exactly like the Princess of Chu!"
Princess Chu smiled faintly and said to Wu Xiuxin, "Xiuxin, there are not many women in this world who can be praised by the emperor. Thank you quickly!"
Wu Xiuxin had a beauty so stunning that it could captivate all creatures. Her eyes, filled with a faint smile, were like deep stars, gleaming with a lively light. Her eyebrows were like distant black ink, slender and gentle, complementing her bright eyes perfectly.
"Xiuxin is overwhelmed. Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty!" She raised her hand to salute, her voice sweet and gentle, and her every gesture revealed her elegant and noble temperament.
The emperor nodded repeatedly, showing great appreciation.
He was calm and composed in the face of adversity, which was somewhat similar to the seventh brother's wife.
Princess Chu really liked Wu Xiuxin, and she couldn't help but feel proud to receive the emperor's praise.
If Xiuxin wasn't so outstanding, she wouldn't have thought of ways to make Xiuxin marry that bastard boy of hers.
Emperor Qiwen brought a few people to the top of the banquet hall and spoke to them in a very familiar and approachable manner.
However, few people noticed that at the banquet, there was a person with a pale face and red eyes. His round eyes were filled with crystal tears that seemed to be about to fall out in the next second.
"Arou..."
Baili Rushu's face was filled with heartache and regret. What a mouth she has!
When can I avoid getting into trouble?!
"Is she Jiang Dongping's fiancée?"
Zhang Zhirou murmured, her voice filled with a hint of insecurity and panic, and pain was spreading from her tear-filled eyes.
It turns out that woman is so beautiful...
"No!" Baili Rushu was extremely anxious. "She kept explaining that Jiang Dongping didn't like her! Jiang Dongping likes you! Ah Rou, don't be like this!"
For some reason, Zhang Zhirou had the same idea as Emperor Qiwen at this time.
She also saw some of Shu He's temperament in Wu Xiuxin.
Elegant, calm, fearless, as if nothing in the world is in their eyes, and as if everything in the world is in their eyes.
That kind of temperament is indescribably similar.
And how could she, a tough girl with a rough and unruly air, compare to that woman?
Although Shu He was taking the pulse of the wife of Duke Zheng at this time, his attention was still distracted by Zhang Zhirou.
After all, even she couldn't help but be amazed by Wu Xiuxin, let alone Zhang Zhirou.
She was worried that the girl would underestimate herself and feel frustrated.
"I heard that Princess Li returned to Kyoto a few days ago. I wonder where she was half a month ago?"
Zheng Zihe stared at Shu He, as if trying to find something from her face.
But unfortunately, she underestimated Shu He.
Shu He raised his eyes slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Half a month ago?"
She thought seriously for a moment, "It should be in Yaozhou, right? Why did Master Zheng ask that?"
"Yaozhou?" Zheng Zihe's face showed a bit of coldness. "Then why did someone say that the princess appeared in Kyoto half a month ago?"
Shu He withdrew his hand, his face calm, "The young master must have made a mistake."
"Madam Guogong is not seriously ill. She is just overly sad, angry, and has a cold in her body. I will prescribe a prescription for her shortly. As long as she follows the prescription, she will be fully recovered after one course of treatment."
"However, Madam, you need to rest and recuperate from this illness. If you want to stay healthy, you should worry less. Only then can you live a long and healthy life!"
Lady Zheng Guogong's body was filled with chills, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face. "I would like to rest in peace, but the hatred for killing my children is irreconcilable! If I cannot seek justice for my children who died in vain, how can I still have the dignity to live in this world!"
His cold gaze fell on Shu He's face, without any intention of concealing it.
Shu He raised his eyes, met her gaze with a calm and composed look, a faint smile on his face, "Unjust death? Madam, are you talking about your second and third sons?"
"Isn't that so?!" The hatred on the Duke's wife's face gradually deepened, and her facial expression gradually became ferocious. "How can I let the person who killed my two sons and one daughter go unharmed in this world?!"
At this time, the pen and ink that Baili Moqing asked the eunuch to bring arrived.
Shu He picked up the pen and wrote a few lines of beautiful and delicate words on the white paper.
After putting away the pen, Shu He picked up the paper, blew on it, and handed it to Zheng Zihe next to him.
"Young Master, just follow the prescription!"
