Chapter 60 Killing Intent Emerges

“Give me the comb,” Zhao Xian reaches out.

“Wife, do you want to comb your hair? Let me help you!” Gu Tingshu can’t resist the urge when he sees her long hair scattered over her shoulders.

“Okay…” Zhao Xian nods, and she turns her back to him, “Hurry up…”

“Okay…” He stretches out his hand to lift her long hair and can’t help but admire it. This hair is so good.

He picks up the comb and begins to comb her hair. His hands are deft and quick. Soon, her hair is neatly tied up by him.

He even uses a hairpin to secure it!

…

Just as Gu Tingshu finishes fixing her hair, a guard comes knocking on the door.

“Your Excellency, the Empress has sent the imperial physician over.”

Hearing the voice outside, Zhao Xian raises an eyebrow. “Oh, the little Empress has quite the sharp ears,” she waves her hand. “Alright, you can go back! Tell them I’m fine now, and I’ll return to the capital later.”

Treating her illness is probably just a pretext. Maybe they want to inquire about how serious her condition is. Or perhaps it would be best if it’s serious enough for her to just kick the bucket, then the little empress can celebrate with fireworks.

But it’s a pity that she, Zhao Xian, has nine lives. How could she die so easily?

The imperial physician outside, hearing the vigorous voice inside, can’t help but feel disappointed. It seems that the Prime Minister has only suffered minor injuries.

“Then, I’ll take my leave… Since the Prime Minister is injured, please rest well,” the imperial physician says before leaving.

The news that Zhao Xian is fine quickly spreads to the palace.

The young Empress sits in her study, looking at the memorials in front of her, unable to help but stroke her chin.

Now she really doesn’t understand what Zhao Xian is thinking.

But the only good news is that Zhao Xian seems to have a weakness now.

As the saying goes, as long as people have weaknesses, they are easier to control.

She has long had enough of this feeling of being controlled by others.

“Zhao Xian, oh Zhao Xian, now whether it’s in the court or among the people, they all recognize only you, even though it is clear that I am the Empress.”

Her voice is calm, but there is a flash of coldness in her eyes.

So no matter what, one day she will take back the power and become an empress who can make her own decisions. If possible, she will kill Zhao Xian.

…

At noon, after dinner, Zhao Xian takes Gu Tingshu and prepares to leave the Gu family to return to the capital.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Gu family, Gu Tingshu stands still, reluctant to leave, holding onto his parents.

“Mother, Father, we’re leaving now. Please take care of yourselves.”

“Brother, don’t worry! I will take care of my parents.”

“And me, I will also take care of Aunt, Brother Tingshu, I will take care of your family,” Ji Tong says, looking at Zhao Xian with an unfriendly expression. “You better treat Tingshu well and not bully him.” She says, feeling a sourness in her nose.

Her first love ends before it can even begin.

Because of her injury, Zhao Xian’s face is a little pale. Standing beside Gu Tingshu, she looks at the Gu family and Ji Tong, who is speaking at the moment.

She naturally understands the emotions in Ji Tong’s eyes.

But so what? She also likes Gu Tingshu. Although it isn’t love yet, since she likes him and is his nominal wife, naturally, the person who is close to the water would get to drink first. She won’t let him go easily.

“I will.” Zhao Xian says lightly, then looks at the kind middle-aged couple in front of her.

“Mother, Father, we’re leaving now. We’ll come back often,” Zhao Xian says lightly.

Naturally, she wants to stay for a long time, but she has a lot of things to deal with.

She just received a confidential letter. It turns out Prince An, the young prince of An County, is coming to the capital. Surely, this will not go unnoticed by certain individuals who will take advantage of the situation.

So it’s better to go back.

“Okay, get on the carriage! Remember to live happily as a young couple,” Gu Tingshu’s father says, his eyes getting a little moist. He has just reunited with his son, and now they have to part again.
