The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 269 Feeling of Desolation
Qian Ao's heart moved, and the feeling of desolation in his heart was even worse. He put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists secretly and said, "No, you trusted the wrong person. Qian Ao, you did those things." Ruan Zhuqi only felt as if she was Like a dream, Qian Ao actually said that he did those things, how is this possible?She shook her head quickly and said: "Don't lie to me, do you have any other tricks in Xuan Shidu's hands? You tell me, I will work with you to find a way. You won't do those things, the money belongs to you It's nothing at all, you wouldn't do that!"

"Xu'er, I took other people's money, it's true." Qian Ao said every word.Ruan Zhuqi was stunned, bit her lips, and asked in a weak voice: "Why?" Qian Ao was as pale as paper, and reached out to stroke the broken hair on Ruan Zhuqi's temples, feeling extremely depressed: "You know, Qian Ao This time I went to Jinyang, and the soldiers and civilians surrounded the road to greet me; do you know that this time I took over the Jinyang army, it was unprecedentedly smooth, and it can be said that everyone responded; do you know that the border area only knows King Lanling but not His Majesty?"

"Qian Ao!" Ruan Zhuqi's throat choked up, her eyes were moist, and she reached out and hugged Qian Ao actively.Qian Ao went on to say: "Qian Ao was six years old, my uncle took away my father's power, and I saw my father being killed by my uncle with my own eyes. Xuer, do you know how scared I was at that time? I hid in the cabinet, shaking with fright. Xu Ao Son, it is really difficult for the royal family of the Gao family to survive. Look at the Supreme Emperor, who killed his own brother and nephew, and even took his sister-in-law by force. I am really afraid, Xuan Shidu doesn't believe me anymore, The better my reputation, the more dangerous I am."

Two lines of tears rolled down Ruan Zhuqi's face, Ruan Zhuqi sobbed softly, hugged Qian Ao tightly, and said vaguely: "I will accompany you, no matter what happens, Xu'er will accompany you!"

Hu Lulan waited outside for nearly an hour before seeing Ruan Zhuqi coming out of the palace, but she came out alone. "Sister!" Hu Lulan yelled, but Ruan Zhuqi didn't seem to hear it. After getting into the carriage, she just sat there motionless, not knowing where her thoughts had gone.Hu Lulan sighed slightly, and ordered the driver to drive more slowly.

I saw my father being killed by my uncle with my own eyes... A scene from a long time ago appeared in Ruan Zhuqi's mind: she was hiding under the bed, and Ruan Wenyong was beside her, tightly covering her mouth so that she could not move.She opened her eyes wide, and saw third uncle Nguyen Van Kyaw swallow the poisoned wine sent by the treacherous minister Yi Sabao, and then fell to the ground, with bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.Ruan Zhuqi's vision was blurred, tears poured down her face, she hated at that moment.She hated that her father and fourth uncle didn't care about the third uncle's life and death, and she hated that the power of the country had harmed her favorite third uncle.What is Jiangshan?What she wants is third uncle, what she wants is father... "What's wrong with sister?" Hu Lulan's anxious voice woke up Ruan Zhuqi.Ruan Zhuqi came back to her senses, only to realize that she had burst into tears.It turns out that some things are not so easy to pass. She hates political disputes, and she hates the group of people who are superior.When she ran to Northern Qi, she turned against her own country without hesitation.Because of disgust, there is no sense of responsibility; because there is no sense of responsibility, it can be easily put down and destroyed.She doesn't want a country, she just wants a home.

"I'm fine, don't worry, take me back!" Ruan Zhuqi said after wiping away her tears and calming down.

King Zhongwu of Lanling received bribes, and it was verified by Dali Temple that there was indeed such a thing, and Qian Ao confessed to it.Xuan Shidu immediately issued an order to cut off the word "Zhongwu" from King Zhongwu of Lanling, take back the money obtained from bribery, and fine him one year's salary.When Ruan Zhuqi received the news at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Xuan Shidu is not someone like Yi Sabao, after all, he still thinks about Qianao." Ruan Zhuqi murmured to himself.

"What did Liu Xu just say?"

Hu Luguang's loud voice startled Ruan Zhuqi, and Ruan Zhuqi hurriedly saluted and said, "I met daddy. I don't know that daddy has finished discussing the matter, and Liu Xu was rude just now." Huluguang waved his hand and said proudly: "You and daddy Why bother to talk about these vain rituals? Liu Xu came to see Daddy this time, why?"

Ruan Zhuqi lowered her head shyly, and said in a low voice: "My daughter is here for the prince's business." Hearing this, Hu Luguang said with regret on his face: "Although General Gao's move is against morality, but ...But it is understandable. General Gao is afraid of his achievements, Liu Xu, you should understand him."

"Daughter knows. My daughter came here this time not to blame Qian Ao, but because of..." Ruan Zhuqi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "For the marriage with Qian Ao." After Ruan Zhuqi said it, she instantly became popular face, and buried his head low.Huluguang's face changed when he heard the words, and he said righteously: "Liu Xu, although General Gao made a mistake and was punished by His Majesty, we in Hulu Mansion cannot sever ties with General Gao just because of this. You The marriage with the general cannot be abandoned because of this. This matter, as a father, I can't rely on you."

Ruan Zhuqi was ashamed and annoyed, and a little irritable, Hu Luguang somehow misunderstood.Ruan Zhuqi glanced at Hu Luguang's serious expression, felt a little funny, gritted her teeth and said, "Daughter doesn't mean that! My daughter means that my engagement with Qian Ao has been delayed for too long!" All burned up.When Hu Luguang heard the words, he burst out laughing suddenly, and said, "That's the case, because my father misunderstood! Liu Xu, don't worry, let the man speak first about this kind of thing!"

Hearing this, Ruan Zhuqi raised her head anxiously, facing Shanghu Luguang's teasing expression, then lowered her head in shame, and said in a low voice: "Daddy is right, but Qian Ao must have no intention of taking these things into account when he committed this matter right now. My daughter is worried that he will be depressed all the way, so...so..." Hu Luguang nodded approvingly, and said: "Liu Xu is right, we have to help him at this time. If this marriage is done, it will definitely make Gao The general cheered up. Leave this matter to the father, and you prepare well." "I'm sorry, father!" Ruan Zhuqi quickly retreated from Hu Luguang's study, and ran to the gazebo panting. "Ruan Zhuqi, Ruan Zhuqi, what have you done! You don't have to be ashamed to ask for your own marriage!"

Ruan Zhuqi cursed at the air, and suddenly remembered Qian Ao's scene that night, and said in fragments: "Qian Ao is so pitiful, it would be okay if we marry him to make him happy! Anyway, it's not good for me. If you lose anything, you should pay him back for saving me."

Notices to punish King Lanling were posted all over the streets, but within three days, the people in Yecheng shifted their attention to King Lanling's wedding.In the teahouses in the streets and alleys, people gathered together, talking about Qian Ao and Ruan Zhuqi's marriage, praising Miss Liu's beauty, Lanling King's martial prowess, how well-matched the two are, and so on.For a moment, people completely forgot about Qian Ao's corruption incident not long ago, or perhaps the corruption incident did not affect the image of King Lanling in people's hearts at all.

The Lanling Palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and boxes of purchased items were transported to the palace.Zhao Butler grinned from ear to ear and counted, adding to those that had been prepared before, the specification of the wedding changed from simple to luxurious.Housekeeper Zhao was still a little worried that Qian Ao would be dissatisfied, but when he caught a glimpse of the smile on Qian Ao's mouth, he instantly understood that these were not important.

A red invitation card was delivered all the way from the Lanling Palace to Xuan Shidu's hands. Xuan Shidu's face was livid, the wedding was three days away, so it came really fast.The fist in his hand was clenched unconsciously, and Xuan Shidu violently tore the invitation to pieces.The palace servants who were serving at the side all backed away in shock, but Mutipo came in at "just in time".

"Since your majesty can't let it go, don't let it go. Is there anything in this world that your majesty can't get?" Mutipo smiled confidently as if she had seen through Xuan Shidu's thoughts.Xuan Shidu angrily threw the fragments in his hand at Mutipo, and shouted loudly: "What are you! How dare you guess what I'm thinking!"

"I don't dare!" Mu Tipo was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and said, "I just said nonsense, and there is no other meaning. Please calm down, Your Majesty!" With an expression of ten degrees in his eyes, he continued: "Weichen just thinks that Miss Liu was used as a tool by General Hulu and sent to King Lanling. It's really not worth it. A lovely woman like Miss Liu can't be with a It's a pity to be with a man who cherishes her."

"Shut up!" Xuan Shidu yelled coldly, and Mutipo couldn't help shaking a few times in fright.Mutipo knelt on the ground, only feeling a kind of cold air gradually press down on him, so that he was almost out of breath.A few drops of cold sweat came out of Mutipo's forehead, and he began to regret his decision to bet on Ruan Zhuqi.

Repressed, deathly repressed, Mutipo trembled all over, and even felt that she couldn't be happier.Just when he was on the verge of collapse, Xuan Shidu suddenly took out a silk scarf from his sleeve, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, then rolled it up and stuffed it into a small sealed box. "Come here!" Xuan Shidu said coldly, Mu Dipo quickly got up from the ground, and ran to Xuan Shidu's side.

Xuan Shidu took out a blank imperial decree, and Mutipo understood it, and immediately picked up the brush.Xuan Shidu clenched the small box in his hand, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he said slowly: "Lanling King Yan Qianao, with great achievements, plundered his subordinates' money, intending to raise his troops to seek great things. Thinking of King Lanling's military exploits in the past, I gave him a cup of poisoned wine, and after his death, he was still buried with the ceremony of a prince."

Mutipo's hands trembled when she heard the words, and she looked at Xuan Shidu in panic, facing Xuan Shidu's eyes staring at him.Shocked, Mu Dipo quickly sorted out Xuan Shidu's original intention and wrote it down in the imperial decree.After Mutipo finished writing, she presented the imperial decree and asked to read it ten times.Xuan Shidu didn't even look at it, took out the jade seal and covered it in the lower left corner, then threw the small box in his hand into Mutipo's hand, and said: "When you go to pass the decree, give him this box. There will be more in a while." The waiter brought the wine with you, so you should wait outside. Remember to report to him only when you see him drinking."
