Chapter 179 How Uncle Xia Plans To Deal With This King?
In the dark room, you can't see your fingers.When Xia Yu entered, the door behind her suddenly closed, and Gao Xuan's heart also tugged.After standing in the dark for a long time, she got used to the darkness in front of her eyes.
The doors and windows of this room are closed, airtight, and standing in the room, there is also an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
Xia Yu felt that she was about to lose her breath, and felt oppressed when looking around.
Take out the fire pocket, and walk carefully to the candlestick.On the table, only two white candles stood silently.There was no other way, Xia Yu could only light a white candle for lighting.
In the dark room, faint candlelight was lit.
This was the first time Xia Yu looked at this room carefully, and she realized that there was a picture of Huiying hanging in the middle of the candle holder in front of her, which was an extremely beautiful woman.At the bottom is a spiritual tablet, and she can recognize the first character on it: Zhao.
She suddenly smiled, with a little sparkle in her eyes.
Turning around to look at the ice coffin placed in the center of the room, no wonder the room is terribly cold, there is an ice coffin in the room, how could it not be cold?But what about putting an ice coffin?
Xia Yu stood quietly beside the ice coffin, she didn't feel afraid.Dead people, it's not like she hasn't seen them before. She often went to Yizhuang to steal things when she was very young. She hasn't seen any dead people before.
What's more, she has already killed someone with her own hands, so what is there to be afraid of?
The ice coffin was so thickly partitioned that one could only vaguely see what was inside—the complete skeleton of a dead person.So many years have passed, even if it was peerless at the time, it is only a pink skeleton now.Wearing a bright red wedding dress, she lay there quietly, motionless.
She could imagine how beautiful Ye Zhiqiu must have been when she got married wearing this wedding gown, otherwise how could Zhao Shuo be so affectionate?For Ye Zhiqiu, he was willing to fight Dongfang Yue to the death, almost risking his life.
But so what, to die is to die.
She lowered her head and smiled wryly, the living will never be able to compete with the dead.
Ye Zhiqiu is dead, but in Zhao Shuo's heart, he is afraid that he will live forever.Just like a wound on the body, even if the pain is forgotten and the blood dripping at the beginning is forgotten, the scar will never disappear and will accompany the person's life until death.
Suddenly, the white candle flickered slightly, Xia Yu clenched her fist in shock, and suddenly volleyed in the air, quickly avoiding the sudden palm wind.The curtain behind him was instantly lifted by the palm wind and trembled violently.
There are people in this room!
When she came last time, she always felt that there were two eyes staring at her.
Unexpectedly, it is true!
"Who? Who is it?" Xia Yu quickly looked around with her sharp eyes.
In the candlelight, the dark room looked very strange. Xia Yu held her breath and felt a chill down her spine.In this place, there is always a cold air constantly rushing into the clothes from all around, making people shiver with cold.
The next moment, Xia Yu suddenly turned around and swung his fist away.
This time, she saw it for real.
A masked man in black appeared behind her.A pair of gloomy eyes were dark and cold, like a succubus who crawled out of hell, and there was a gloomy air all over his body, just one glance was enough to make people feel cowardly and dare not look at him.
Those black eyes stared at Xia Yu so viciously, as if full of hatred, wishing to poke Xia Yu to pieces.
"Who are you?" Xia Yu hurriedly backed away. As soon as the opponent made a move, she knew that she was not his opponent at all.For now, the best strategy is to walk, as long as she goes out, Xunmei and Anu are outside, she will be safe and sound.
But the other party seemed to have sensed her intentions long ago, so he tried to kill her, not allowing her to escape at all.
If it weren't for Xia Yu's excellent kung fu, his life would be in danger at this moment.
The man in black slapped the wooden pillar with a palm, and the pillar instantly opened a hole. Xia Yu was startled, and made up her mind to rush out, "Xunmei? Anu!" She shouted, but——it happened so suddenly, Xia Yu didn't expect it at all.
The cold hand had pinched her neck, and Xia Yu couldn't make a sound at all.
The next moment, she only felt that her body suddenly became lighter.Like a sandbag being thrown out, it flew out in an instant.He slammed his body against the wall and landed with a muffled sound.
Her mind was buzzing, her vision was getting blurred, and she barely managed to get up.
But——it was getting darker and darker, as if someone had extinguished the candle.
The whole world was suddenly plunged into endless darkness.
The man in black approached step by step, and the sound of cold footsteps fell on the ground one after another.At that moment, the knuckles were pinched and rattled, as if Xia Yu was about to be torn apart, wishing she could completely disappear from the world.
Raising his palm high, he looked coldly at the fainting Xia Yu, as long as his palm fell, Xia Yu would surely die.
Xia Yu had a dream. In the dream, there was a warm embrace surrounded by the faint fragrance of tea.She didn't remember where she was, but she remembered that it was Zhao Laojiu's smell.
Something cold was stuck to her forehead, and she sat up instantly in shock.When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Shuo sitting on the edge of the bed. When Xia Yu woke up, he walked aside with a towel and said nothing.
"How did I get back?" Xia Yu rubbed her sore neck. She remembered that before she passed out, she was thrown out by that person, and then hit the wall heavily.She only felt that her neck was about to break, her ears were buzzing, and then she lost consciousness.
"I picked it up." He turned his back to her, threw the towel into the basin, and stood upright in the candlelight without looking back at her.
Xia Yu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips for a long time.
No one spoke, and the room was terribly cold for a while.
She felt that, as if it had been a long time, Zhao Shuo ignored her, he must be angry!
"I went where I shouldn't be, are you angry?" She bit her lip, got off the bed, and walked towards him slowly.When she was behind him, she stopped, like a child who had made a mistake, she lowered her head and did not speak again.
She wanted to go up and hug him, but she felt that she couldn't take the last step.
If he doesn't speak, how can she have a step down.
Between the lowered eyebrows, I just saw the shadow in the candlelight.She stretched out her hand cautiously, and she saw the two people in the shadow finally embrace each other.But in fact, she didn't meet him at all.
He just looked down at the shadow, but unexpectedly Zhao Shuo turned around suddenly.
A simple and solid hug locked her tightly in his arms.This is the step he gave, and it can be regarded as his bow.
From the top of his head, came his disgusted words, "Holding the shadow, will it be warm? Is it that difficult to hug a living person?"
She closed her eyes and sniffed the faint tea fragrance on his body, and responded to his embrace. The shadow at that moment was the complete fusion of two people into one.With a smile on his lips and a little tear in his eyes, "Actually, I don't want you to bow your head every time, I just want you to step down the steps for me."
Zhao Shuo's chin rested on her bun, "When did you lower your head? Who made you so short."
Xia Yu laughed out loud.
He is taller than her, but he must bow his head first when facing her?
Naturally, it is also a kind of destiny.
After a while, he let go, and his hands fell on her shoulders, his peach blossom eyes were half blurred, and the city was dyed pink, "You know, if I come a moment late, you will be the one lying in the ice coffin. "
She frowned, staring at him thoughtfully, "You said, ice coffin?"
The one lying in the ice coffin, shouldn't it be Ye Zhiqiu?Shouldn't he be Zhao Laojiu's beloved?But he just said, she?
The warm palm was pressed against her neck, and the thick palm supported her chin, making her look directly into his eyes, "Look at me." She cast her gaze as she said, but she was full of doubts and incomprehensions. "At this moment, do you think it's me or Ye Zhiqiu who is lying in the ice coffin that is more important?"
"You." She answered truthfully.
He pursed his lips in satisfaction, "Then it's over?"
She was stunned, and suddenly felt an illusion of being fooled.
"A person cannot be brought back to life after death, and death is death, but I am still alive, and you are still alive." Zhao Shuo kissed her lightly on the lips, "I said, you have to believe me. Although I know, let me It is impossible for you to trust a person with all your heart. I can tell you the truth, but the premise is that you can really get together and leave well?"
Xia Yu froze there, her long eyelashes trembling suddenly.
"If I let you leave, can you go far without nostalgia?" His face was slightly cold, and his eyes were completely cold, "If you can do it, I will tell you what happened to Ye Zhiqiu. "
"You said, you will let me leave?" She subconsciously stroked the back of his hand.
The four eyes met, she really didn't understand what kind of deep heart the man in front of her had.But she has been in the capital for a long time, she has seen and heard a lot, and she understands his current situation in her heart.
With the emperor and empress dowager on top, Dongfang Yue next to him, and the three-legged battle on the battlefield, the burden on his shoulders was not light.But no matter which one is removed, he will die without a whole body.
Being in a high cabinet and having been in power for many years, you can't quit just by saying quit.
Step by step, like walking on thin ice, is not something you can give up just by saying give up.
Unwilling, and dare not.
One step further, the momentum of water and fire; one step back, one's body will be smashed to pieces.This is a killing without blood, a battlefield without gunpowder, although it is difficult for people to move forward, they have to move on.
The pulp of his thumb gently stroked her cheek.But the slightly rough skin on the fingertips still hurt her.She frowned and stared, and he nodded heavily, "Sooner or later, we all have to leave here."
Xia Yu took a deep breath, smiled suddenly, and met his eyes straight, "I promise you, when it's time to go, I will definitely go, and I will never procrastinate."
"Okay." He was so calm that it made people feel distressed, and the moment he lowered his head, he had already captured her lips.
Rolling lips, silent.
Panting lightly and grasping his arm tightly, Xia Yu only felt a slight pain in her heart and an inexplicable suffocation.The next moment, he was hugged by the waist and walked directly to the bed.Silently hugging her and sitting on the edge of the bed, he didn't allow her to raise her head, and pressed her head into his arms, as if he didn't want him to see his expression at all.
She thought, is he afraid?
If she really died like this, would he regret it for the rest of his life?
And does his fear at the moment overcome her anger at breaking into "One Leaf Zhiqiu" without authorization?
"When I met her, she was about the same age as you, and I was only slightly older than her. She was born well, and she is indeed very similar to Ye Eryu today. At the beginning, Dongfang wanted to win over Ye's family, so I asked the imperial edict, Queen Mother She was promised to Dongfang Xu by decree. Everyone kept the fact that I was injured in the martial arts competition with Dongfang Yue from her. She didn't know about it until the night of getting married. Before Dongfang Xu entered the bridal chamber, she was already He committed suicide." Zhao Shuo said in a eloquent manner, but he avoided the important and ignored the minor, and his words were somewhat vague.
"It stands to reason that since she was married to Dongfang Xu, she shouldn't have entered my Zhao family's lintel, and she couldn't have entered my Prince Rui's mansion. In the end, Dongfang Yue let it go, everyone died, and the dead are the most important. Ye Zhiqiu is so virtuous General Ye was too regretful and wanted to make it happen. So I collected her bones and kept them in Yiye Zhiqiu in the backyard of Yangxin Pavilion. The name of the yard was originally her name, but who knew it would eventually become hers. A place of burial."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo hugged Xia Yu tightly in his arms, "Do you also think that I am a bit useless, that if I don't get to live, I get to die?"
Xia Yu smiled wryly, "If——I mean, if you were given another chance, would you fight Dongfang Yue to the death?"
He couldn't tell, "I will lose again."
She lowered her eyes and remained silent, with an indescribable sadness in her eyes.Ye Zhiqiu, in his heart, still occupies an extremely important position, no matter ten years or twenty years, will it continue like this?
"I lost on purpose." He hesitated for a long time before whispering quietly.
Xia Yu was stunned, and her body shook, "What did you say?" She stared at him incredulously.
Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "I just don't want the Ye family to marry the Dongfang family! At that time, I was young and vigorous, with little strategy and immature mind, so I could only do so. "
She didn't quite understand, "Why?"
"Because." He sighed softly, stroking her pale cheeks tenderly, "If I say, I have killed many people, and I have done many things you can't even imagine, and one day, I may even use you, Will you still follow me?"
"If one day, you hold great power, even the entire imperial court is in your hands, controlling life and death in the world. Would you still want me? I have nothing, I can't help you with anything, and it may even drag you down. "Xia Yu condensed his face and asked in this way.
Zhao Shuo suddenly laughed, and turned his eyes away in disgust, not looking at her anymore.
Ruyu wrapped his arms around his neck forcefully, "Look at me and answer me."
"Are all women so unreasonable?" Zhao Shuo's eyes softened a lot, and he looked at her lightly.
Xia Yu smiled badly, and suddenly pushed him directly on the bed.Zhao Shuo was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.After regaining consciousness, the little girl was already clinging to his chest, "You know that women are unreasonable, but you still try to reason with me, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Zhao Shuo chuckled lightly, "How does Uncle Xia plan to deal with this king?"
"You are so beautiful and delicious, of course Uncle Xia is reluctant to kill you." Xia Yu climbed up on him, imitating his usual appearance, put her hands on the sides of his cheeks, and stared at him with great interest, "Boy , How about becoming Uncle Xia? From now on, I will never let you go hungry if you eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
He rolled his eyes slightly, and glanced at the dimly colored curtains, "Would you like, Master, to build up the whole of Prince Rui's Mansion? Send it to you?"
Xia Yu unbuttoned his shirt, and put her icy hands directly into his chest.Zhao Shuo was so startled that his body trembled, and the change of hot and cold made the smile on his face disappear instantly.
She lowered her head, followed his example, and slowly bit his neck.In the end, he gently kissed his Adam's apple, but made him roll closely with his Adam's apple, and his whole body began to boil with enthusiasm, "Do you know what you are doing?"
She is playing with fire.
"I ate you." She giggled, very much like those young masters visiting brothels.It seems that Zhao Shuo at this moment is the Hualou girl named by Xia Yu, and now she is lying under her, letting her do whatever she wants.
Zhao Shuo raised his eyebrows, his voice was hoarse and deep, "Let men do this kind of thing!"
When the sound fell, he turned over and pressed her down.
Sadness is a day, and happiness is a day. In this case, why not choose to live in a more comfortable way?Feel melancholy and annoyed for those unworthy things and unworthy people, making what you do worthless, why bother?
The next morning, Luo Hua and Xun Mei waited at the door for a long time, Zhao Shuo went out early in the morning, Xia Yu didn't get up for a long time, and she didn't know what happened last night.
Yesterday, shortly after Xia Yu entered the house, Zhao Shuo hurried over and kicked open the door.Anu blocked Luohua and Xunmei, so they couldn't get in naturally.When he regained his senses, Zhao Shuo had already come out holding the fainted Xia Yu.That face was terribly dark, almost frozen in the wind and snow, and it was so cold that people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
But what was more worrying was Xia Yu's body.
Going in vertically and coming out horizontally, anyone would be terribly worried.
Zhao Shuo took Xia Yu back to the room, Xin Fu also went in, and came out again after a while.With Li Huan and Anu blocking the door, Xunmei and Luohua couldn't visit, let alone Zhao Shuo inside.
The black line on Prince Rui's face has not yet faded, who would dare to touch it, unless it is because he doesn't want to live.
Fortunately, Xin Fudao, it was just a skin trauma, just fainted, nothing serious.Xia Yu's own healing ability is excellent, and she will be fine after a night's sleep.In this way, Xunmei and Luohua were relieved.
It's just that Xia Yu's body is fine, so how will Zhao Shuo punish Xia Yu?
Anu received ten lashes as punishment.What about Xia Yu?
Luo Hua and Xun Mei stayed up all night and waited in the yard early in the morning. They didn't dare to poke their heads to see Xia Yu's movements until they saw Zhao Shuo leave.The ear is attached to the facade, and there is no movement inside.
If there is no movement, it should be a good thing!
"Come in, what are you looking at outside?" Xia Yu stretched her waist and sat up, Xunmei's footsteps were naturally very low, but Luo Hua made a commotion.She doesn't know martial arts, and she can't control her breathing and footsteps as freely as Xunmei.
Xunmei walked in quickly, "Young master, are you alright?"
Xia Yu scratched the back of her neck, "What can I do?"
Hearing this, Xun Mei felt relieved, and saw the red mark on Xia Yu's neck at a glance, her face turned reddish, and she didn't speak any more.On the other hand, Luo Hua smiled and said, "My lord, you don't know, the prince's face last night was so ugly, it's scary, it can really scare people to death."
"How ugly?" Xia Yu asked knowingly.
Luo Hua thought for a while, she was illiterate, so naturally she couldn't say those high-sounding words, what the common people said most often, "The face is as long as a shoehorn, and as dark as someone who digs coal and burns charcoal. , and those eyeballs were so hard that they could shoot lightning. Anyway, it was very scary. At that time, I was so scared that my legs trembled."
Xia Yu took a sip of tea into her mouth, couldn't laugh if she wanted to, and finally sprayed it on the ground, covering her stomach and laughing until she slapped the table.If Zhao Laojiu heard this description, it is estimated that the two eyes are not simply lightning, and there will definitely be a storm.
Xunmei shook her head helplessly, and hurriedly stroked Xia Yu's back, "Young master, don't laugh, be careful that you lose your temper when you laugh."
"That's, it's the truth!" Luo Hua scratched her temples, "I'm not wrong."
"That's right, that's right." Xia Yu wiped her mouth, but still grinned from ear to ear, "It's just that, let's just talk about it, and you must not lose your head and tell others." Sometimes Zhao Laojiu wanted to kill someone, but she couldn't stop her.
Luo Hua smiled and nodded, "Naturally, I don't talk much about anyone in this world except Young Master."
She also doesn't have any relatives, so she really has nowhere to go except to follow Xia Yu.
Xia Yu smiled and took Luo Hua's hand, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you before you get married. We are all brothers who have died, and we can't do without each other. When the peach blossoms bloom , let’s have a three-way friendship in Taoyuan, and then I will take you to the rivers and lakes.”
Luo Hua nodded again and again, "Okay, that's a deal."
"Young master is as good as you promise, and you will definitely do what you promise." Xia Yu patted her chest and promised.
Xunmei sat down, hesitated a little, and looked at Xia Yu worriedly, "Young master, did the lord really not say anything about what happened yesterday? Could you be the one to blame?"
Xia Yu shook her head, "Where is he willing to blame me, but I suddenly discovered that some things have been made a big deal out of." She stood up, her face turned cold, "People's words are terrible, but I never thought that one day I would answer them on my own body."
"What does the young master mean, that we have been used by others?" Xun Mei said coldly.
Luo Hua was stunned, "Use? What is there to use? Are you not afraid of being exposed when you create something out of nothing?"
"What's scary isn't something created out of nothing, but people's hearts." Xia Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the sky with concentration, "Everyone's weaknesses are different, but everyone has curiosity. They didn't create something out of nothing, but It's true and false, half true. But they forgot that Zhao Laojiu is a thousand-year-old fox, how could he fall into the trap easily. I will do it, but Zhao Laojiu may not be able to do it. He thought of everything I couldn't think of .”
Xia Yu turned her head back, "But I don't have any proof, whether it was an accidental mistake or intentional, who knows!"
Luo Hua nodded, "It's really hard to say. Because it's true, but such things are always exaggerated."
"Then she knows about the Ye family, can't it be her?" Xun Meinu pouted and motioned to Ye Eryu.
"Who knows, there is no evidence or certificate." Xia Yu stretched her waist and began to put on her clothes slowly.
Luo Hua stepped forward, "My lord, don't think so much. As long as you make it clear to the lord that there is no suspicion in everyone's mind, you don't have to worry about anything. People are separated from each other, because they all have selfish intentions. The lord is open and frank, and the lord treats you so kindly." You don't think there will be any problem."
Xia Yu smiled, "I can't get involved in his affairs, so I'd rather not ask. If I ask too much, I'll be tired. I just have to be myself, and those things will rot! When the rot is over, it will naturally disappear. .”
Xunmei nodded, "The young master is so open-minded, Xunmei feels inferior."
"It's not open-minded, it's just that I'm afraid of death and cherish my life, so I don't want to let myself know too much, lest I die young, and it won't be worth it." Xia Yu smiled like a flower, "I just started my life, and I don't want to be so easy. .”
Xunmei laughed lightly, although she spoke crazily, it was very reasonable.
It's just that Xia Yu didn't expect that there would be another wave of ups and downs. The Hou's mansion just got engaged, and there were rumors in the market that the Seventh Prince of Daxia had taken a fancy to the princess Xie Huan and wanted to marry the princess. for wife.
As a result, people all over the world talked about it.
Daxia and Dayan have been fighting for many years, most of it is Xie Huan's credit.
But this general of the Great Yan Dynasty who took the lead in resisting Great Xia wanted to marry the Seventh Prince of Great Xia at this moment.Then after thinking about it, Xie Huan is a woman after all, and a woman in power will more or less attract criticism.Marriage is the most common thing.If she could marry the Seventh Prince of Da Xia, it would be a good thing to exchange for peace between the two countries.
Xia Yu walked into Yage, but Xunmei was chattering, "Isn't this nonsense? Let the princess marry Da Xia far away, and when Da Xia comes to commit crimes in the future, who will charge forward? Just what? Ying gave him a pot to drink, and when he went to the battlefield, he was going to die."
When mentioning Shuying, Xia Yu glanced at her.
Realizing Xia Yu's strangeness, Xunmei remained silent.
"Anu, are you okay?" Xia Yu turned her head and asked.
Anu shook her head, her complexion was pale, but she had already gotten used to it, and her face still had the usual cold look.Xia Yu poured a cup of tea and handed it over. The four of them sat around the table, each silent.
"I heard that the princess is ill." Luo Hua said.
Xunmei glanced at her, "Anyone who encounters this will get sick." If you are sick, the marriage will be voided.
"This is a matter of the imperial court, and we can't interrupt it." Xia Yu frowned, "What I am concerned about now is, who is behind my back? Once, twice, three times, who did I offend?"
Luo Hua said, "My lord, don't worry too much. With Xunmei and Anu here, no one can hurt you." She picked up the hot water and wanted to add tea for everyone, but the hand that was pouring the tea kept trembling.
"What happened to your right hand?" Xia Yu asked.
"When I was doing needlework at night, I accidentally stuck it too deep and it hurt a bit. I'm right-handed, but I can't be left-handed. This doesn't make me laugh." Luo Hua smiled, "It's okay."
"Don't do it at night." Xia Yu smiled, "It's not good for your eyes."
Luo Hua just nodded and smiled without answering.Years ago, she had to do well.Let Xia Yu wear the clothes she made for the new year, Luo Hua felt warm in her heart just thinking about it.
Xia Yu looked at her right hand, then at her left hand, as if she remembered something, she was a little dazed.
Is it—
----------------
Zhenyuanhou Mansion.
Xie Huan said he was sick and stayed behind closed doors.
But sometimes you don't go out, it doesn't mean others won't come in.The Seventh Prince Yuan Hao and Heli made a special trip to prepare generous gifts and visit their patients.It is said to be a visit, but what it actually means is clear to each other.
On the martial arts arena, Xie Huan was good at kung fu, [-] kinds of martial arts, proficient in all of them, and she was worthy of being Dayan's number one female general.Civil and military are well prepared, women are not inferior to men.
Qingyun handed over the sweat towel, "Is the princess tired?"
"After returning to Beijing, I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm unfamiliar!" Xie Huan chuckled, took the sweat towel, and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. His face was white and rosy, which was healthy. "It's a pity. -"
Qingyu took the spear in Xie Huan's hand and inserted it back to its original place, "What did the princess say, the princess's Xie family's marksmanship is really proficient, and there are few rivals in the world."
Xie Huan sighed softly, and was about to step up, but the housekeeper hurried forward, "The Princess is not well, the Seventh Prince and Prime Minister Daxia are here to visit."
"What are they here for?" Qingyu frowned.
Xie Huan's eyes darkened slightly, "The flower hall prepares tea, I'll be right there."
The butler nodded, bowed and stepped back.
"Didn't the Princess call you sick? Still want to see him?" Qing Yun handed over his coat.
Xie Huan walked out while putting on his clothes, "Calling sick is just delaying time, but everyone knows in their hearts that I am sick. It's good to meet in private, some people should avoid some people, and have a good talk .”
"Isn't the princess worried?" Qingyun stepped forward, "If it gets out, people will follow suit. Even if the princess doesn't want to marry, it will inevitably be true. Why don't you see me?"
Xie Huan stopped in his tracks, glanced at the excellent sunshine, and said thoughtfully, "I can't see you." After saying that, he walked forward quickly.
Qingyun sighed softly, and glanced at Qingyu, after all, he was helpless.
There are kings above and people below, so what?
Yuan Hao and Heli were waiting in the flower hall. After a while, Xie Huan changed his clothes and came slowly.When she came down to the imperial court, she was no longer the bow of a courtier, but a majestic and loyal princess.The rite of the princess is flawless.
It's just that the stern air in his gestures remains undiminished, like a general on horseback, majestic and majestic, still showing a calm and majestic look.
"It's really a blessing for the Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence that you two come here." Xie Huan slightly pulled his lips, clasped his fists with a smile that was not a smile.
Yuan Hao smiled, and returned the gift, "I heard that the princess is not feeling well, so I came to visit now. One is to comfort the princess, and the other is to come and see how the place where my future concubine has been living has been."
"The seventh prince's words are too early. The emperor has not issued an order, and I have not agreed to it. How can the future imperial concubine talk?" Xie Huan sat down, took a sip of tea, and said this as if nothing had happened.It was as if what the two said had nothing to do with her.Such a calm and calm spirit, emanating from a woman, really has a different kind of charm.
"Sooner or later, why should the princess be persistent." Yuan Hao sipped his tea.
Xie Huan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Why do you think I'm persistent? Why don't you say that the Seventh Prince is too aggressive."
"I really want to marry you, why do you say it is coercive?" Yuan Hao smiled slightly, "Although it is a political marriage, why doesn't the Princess believe it? I fell in love with you at first sight?"
"It's almost like an arrow piercing the heart." Xie Huan said unhurriedly, and then snorted, "Seventh Prince give up, I won't marry Daxia far away."
"Then don't be afraid, I, Daxia, will launch a war against you, Dayan? Because of my own selfishness, it will cause people to lose their lives, and the people will live in dire straits. Do you think it's worth it?" Yuan Hao asked.
Xie Huan stared at him thoughtfully, "If it's just your own selfishness, it's fine, but it's a pity that you won't get what you want because the world is public. You guys even cover up your true colors , and expect me to be sincere? Isn’t this a slap in the face?”
As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Hao frowned in shock, and then glanced at Heli beside him.
Heli smiled, "I don't know why the princess made such a statement?"
"It's nothing, it's just nonsense!" Xie Huan sneered, "I don't know if you all know the rules of my Xie family?"
"What rules?" Yuan Hao asked.
Xie Huan said, "The daughter-in-law chosen by my Xie family must know martial arts in the first round. My father set a rule for me when I was young. If anyone wants to marry me in the future, he must beat me. The seventh prince thinks , can I pass the first level?"
Yuan Hao smiled, "Why don't you try."
"The Seventh Prince has a noble status, I'm afraid of hurting you." Xie Huan sipped his tea thoughtfully.
"Although I don't say that martial arts are unrivaled in the world, but--it's not too bad to think about it." Yuan Hao's eyes were slightly hurt, "Will the princess agree to this marriage if he wins?"
Xie Huan put down his cup, "I'll talk after you win first."
"Okay!" Yuan Hao agreed immediately, "Please enlighten me, Princess."
"Do you want a weapon?" Xie Huan asked.
Yuan Hao shook his head, "You don't need a weapon if you click as far as you can. You can see the truth with your hands and feet."
"Then offend." Xie Huan took a deep breath, put down the cup in his hand, and walked out the door slowly.Although the empty yard is not comparable to a martial arts training ground, it is quite spacious if you want to learn martial arts.
When going out, Xie Huan glanced at the guard Hatu standing outside the door.Hatu quickly bowed his head to show respect.
With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Xie Huan walked past him with a half-smile and walked into the yard.
Qingyun and Qingyu stood in the corridor, looking at Heli and Yuan Hao coldly, they believed that the princess's martial arts could definitely surpass the Seventh Prince of Daxia's.But he still held his breath and watched this match with straining heart.
"Please!" Xie Huan stretched out his hand.
Yuan Hao smiled, "Then—offended!" After the sound fell, he shot suddenly.
He shot very fast, lightning fast, as if well-trained.The routine is weird, completely different from the martial arts of the Great Yan Dynasty.Fortunately, Xie Huan was also in contact with the Great Xia army, and he knew these Great Xia people quite well.
With a leap, he quickly avoided Yuan Hao's palm, and pushed out with a backhand.
You are quick, I must be faster.
Palm to palm, each doing their best.
Xie Huan would never show mercy if he made a move.And the other side seemed to be trying their best.In the end, he was surprised, Yuan Hao hit Xie Huan on the shoulder with a palm, Xie Huan was careless, and immediately took several steps back to stand up.
Qingyun and Qingyu were stunned, and hurried forward to stand beside Xie Huan, "Princess?"
Xie Huan shook his head, "I'm fine, thank you Seventh Prince for your mercy."
"So, I have passed the first level?" Yuan Hao stepped forward with a smile, and when he came to Xie Huan, the smile on his brows became stronger, "I think the princess is a person who promises everything, then I will wait for the county to give up." Good news for the lord. The princess is resting and recuperating, so farewell!"
After the sound fell, Yuan Hao turned and left.
Hurley, who was silent at the side, frowned slightly, as if thinking about something else.
"Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince's martial arts are so powerful." Qing Yun couldn't believe it, "Princess, are you okay?"
Xie Huan shook his head, "It's nothing, but let me confirm one thing."
"What's the matter?" Qingyu was puzzled.
Xie Huan smiled and said nothing, it seemed that it was necessary for her to go there in person.
(End of this chapter)
In the dark room, you can't see your fingers.When Xia Yu entered, the door behind her suddenly closed, and Gao Xuan's heart also tugged.After standing in the dark for a long time, she got used to the darkness in front of her eyes.
The doors and windows of this room are closed, airtight, and standing in the room, there is also an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
Xia Yu felt that she was about to lose her breath, and felt oppressed when looking around.
Take out the fire pocket, and walk carefully to the candlestick.On the table, only two white candles stood silently.There was no other way, Xia Yu could only light a white candle for lighting.
In the dark room, faint candlelight was lit.
This was the first time Xia Yu looked at this room carefully, and she realized that there was a picture of Huiying hanging in the middle of the candle holder in front of her, which was an extremely beautiful woman.At the bottom is a spiritual tablet, and she can recognize the first character on it: Zhao.
She suddenly smiled, with a little sparkle in her eyes.
Turning around to look at the ice coffin placed in the center of the room, no wonder the room is terribly cold, there is an ice coffin in the room, how could it not be cold?But what about putting an ice coffin?
Xia Yu stood quietly beside the ice coffin, she didn't feel afraid.Dead people, it's not like she hasn't seen them before. She often went to Yizhuang to steal things when she was very young. She hasn't seen any dead people before.
What's more, she has already killed someone with her own hands, so what is there to be afraid of?
The ice coffin was so thickly partitioned that one could only vaguely see what was inside—the complete skeleton of a dead person.So many years have passed, even if it was peerless at the time, it is only a pink skeleton now.Wearing a bright red wedding dress, she lay there quietly, motionless.
She could imagine how beautiful Ye Zhiqiu must have been when she got married wearing this wedding gown, otherwise how could Zhao Shuo be so affectionate?For Ye Zhiqiu, he was willing to fight Dongfang Yue to the death, almost risking his life.
But so what, to die is to die.
She lowered her head and smiled wryly, the living will never be able to compete with the dead.
Ye Zhiqiu is dead, but in Zhao Shuo's heart, he is afraid that he will live forever.Just like a wound on the body, even if the pain is forgotten and the blood dripping at the beginning is forgotten, the scar will never disappear and will accompany the person's life until death.
Suddenly, the white candle flickered slightly, Xia Yu clenched her fist in shock, and suddenly volleyed in the air, quickly avoiding the sudden palm wind.The curtain behind him was instantly lifted by the palm wind and trembled violently.
There are people in this room!
When she came last time, she always felt that there were two eyes staring at her.
Unexpectedly, it is true!
"Who? Who is it?" Xia Yu quickly looked around with her sharp eyes.
In the candlelight, the dark room looked very strange. Xia Yu held her breath and felt a chill down her spine.In this place, there is always a cold air constantly rushing into the clothes from all around, making people shiver with cold.
The next moment, Xia Yu suddenly turned around and swung his fist away.
This time, she saw it for real.
A masked man in black appeared behind her.A pair of gloomy eyes were dark and cold, like a succubus who crawled out of hell, and there was a gloomy air all over his body, just one glance was enough to make people feel cowardly and dare not look at him.
Those black eyes stared at Xia Yu so viciously, as if full of hatred, wishing to poke Xia Yu to pieces.
"Who are you?" Xia Yu hurriedly backed away. As soon as the opponent made a move, she knew that she was not his opponent at all.For now, the best strategy is to walk, as long as she goes out, Xunmei and Anu are outside, she will be safe and sound.
But the other party seemed to have sensed her intentions long ago, so he tried to kill her, not allowing her to escape at all.
If it weren't for Xia Yu's excellent kung fu, his life would be in danger at this moment.
The man in black slapped the wooden pillar with a palm, and the pillar instantly opened a hole. Xia Yu was startled, and made up her mind to rush out, "Xunmei? Anu!" She shouted, but——it happened so suddenly, Xia Yu didn't expect it at all.
The cold hand had pinched her neck, and Xia Yu couldn't make a sound at all.
The next moment, she only felt that her body suddenly became lighter.Like a sandbag being thrown out, it flew out in an instant.He slammed his body against the wall and landed with a muffled sound.
Her mind was buzzing, her vision was getting blurred, and she barely managed to get up.
But——it was getting darker and darker, as if someone had extinguished the candle.
The whole world was suddenly plunged into endless darkness.
The man in black approached step by step, and the sound of cold footsteps fell on the ground one after another.At that moment, the knuckles were pinched and rattled, as if Xia Yu was about to be torn apart, wishing she could completely disappear from the world.
Raising his palm high, he looked coldly at the fainting Xia Yu, as long as his palm fell, Xia Yu would surely die.
Xia Yu had a dream. In the dream, there was a warm embrace surrounded by the faint fragrance of tea.She didn't remember where she was, but she remembered that it was Zhao Laojiu's smell.
Something cold was stuck to her forehead, and she sat up instantly in shock.When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Shuo sitting on the edge of the bed. When Xia Yu woke up, he walked aside with a towel and said nothing.
"How did I get back?" Xia Yu rubbed her sore neck. She remembered that before she passed out, she was thrown out by that person, and then hit the wall heavily.She only felt that her neck was about to break, her ears were buzzing, and then she lost consciousness.
"I picked it up." He turned his back to her, threw the towel into the basin, and stood upright in the candlelight without looking back at her.
Xia Yu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips for a long time.
No one spoke, and the room was terribly cold for a while.
She felt that, as if it had been a long time, Zhao Shuo ignored her, he must be angry!
"I went where I shouldn't be, are you angry?" She bit her lip, got off the bed, and walked towards him slowly.When she was behind him, she stopped, like a child who had made a mistake, she lowered her head and did not speak again.
She wanted to go up and hug him, but she felt that she couldn't take the last step.
If he doesn't speak, how can she have a step down.
Between the lowered eyebrows, I just saw the shadow in the candlelight.She stretched out her hand cautiously, and she saw the two people in the shadow finally embrace each other.But in fact, she didn't meet him at all.
He just looked down at the shadow, but unexpectedly Zhao Shuo turned around suddenly.
A simple and solid hug locked her tightly in his arms.This is the step he gave, and it can be regarded as his bow.
From the top of his head, came his disgusted words, "Holding the shadow, will it be warm? Is it that difficult to hug a living person?"
She closed her eyes and sniffed the faint tea fragrance on his body, and responded to his embrace. The shadow at that moment was the complete fusion of two people into one.With a smile on his lips and a little tear in his eyes, "Actually, I don't want you to bow your head every time, I just want you to step down the steps for me."
Zhao Shuo's chin rested on her bun, "When did you lower your head? Who made you so short."
Xia Yu laughed out loud.
He is taller than her, but he must bow his head first when facing her?
Naturally, it is also a kind of destiny.
After a while, he let go, and his hands fell on her shoulders, his peach blossom eyes were half blurred, and the city was dyed pink, "You know, if I come a moment late, you will be the one lying in the ice coffin. "
She frowned, staring at him thoughtfully, "You said, ice coffin?"
The one lying in the ice coffin, shouldn't it be Ye Zhiqiu?Shouldn't he be Zhao Laojiu's beloved?But he just said, she?
The warm palm was pressed against her neck, and the thick palm supported her chin, making her look directly into his eyes, "Look at me." She cast her gaze as she said, but she was full of doubts and incomprehensions. "At this moment, do you think it's me or Ye Zhiqiu who is lying in the ice coffin that is more important?"
"You." She answered truthfully.
He pursed his lips in satisfaction, "Then it's over?"
She was stunned, and suddenly felt an illusion of being fooled.
"A person cannot be brought back to life after death, and death is death, but I am still alive, and you are still alive." Zhao Shuo kissed her lightly on the lips, "I said, you have to believe me. Although I know, let me It is impossible for you to trust a person with all your heart. I can tell you the truth, but the premise is that you can really get together and leave well?"
Xia Yu froze there, her long eyelashes trembling suddenly.
"If I let you leave, can you go far without nostalgia?" His face was slightly cold, and his eyes were completely cold, "If you can do it, I will tell you what happened to Ye Zhiqiu. "
"You said, you will let me leave?" She subconsciously stroked the back of his hand.
The four eyes met, she really didn't understand what kind of deep heart the man in front of her had.But she has been in the capital for a long time, she has seen and heard a lot, and she understands his current situation in her heart.
With the emperor and empress dowager on top, Dongfang Yue next to him, and the three-legged battle on the battlefield, the burden on his shoulders was not light.But no matter which one is removed, he will die without a whole body.
Being in a high cabinet and having been in power for many years, you can't quit just by saying quit.
Step by step, like walking on thin ice, is not something you can give up just by saying give up.
Unwilling, and dare not.
One step further, the momentum of water and fire; one step back, one's body will be smashed to pieces.This is a killing without blood, a battlefield without gunpowder, although it is difficult for people to move forward, they have to move on.
The pulp of his thumb gently stroked her cheek.But the slightly rough skin on the fingertips still hurt her.She frowned and stared, and he nodded heavily, "Sooner or later, we all have to leave here."
Xia Yu took a deep breath, smiled suddenly, and met his eyes straight, "I promise you, when it's time to go, I will definitely go, and I will never procrastinate."
"Okay." He was so calm that it made people feel distressed, and the moment he lowered his head, he had already captured her lips.
Rolling lips, silent.
Panting lightly and grasping his arm tightly, Xia Yu only felt a slight pain in her heart and an inexplicable suffocation.The next moment, he was hugged by the waist and walked directly to the bed.Silently hugging her and sitting on the edge of the bed, he didn't allow her to raise her head, and pressed her head into his arms, as if he didn't want him to see his expression at all.
She thought, is he afraid?
If she really died like this, would he regret it for the rest of his life?
And does his fear at the moment overcome her anger at breaking into "One Leaf Zhiqiu" without authorization?
"When I met her, she was about the same age as you, and I was only slightly older than her. She was born well, and she is indeed very similar to Ye Eryu today. At the beginning, Dongfang wanted to win over Ye's family, so I asked the imperial edict, Queen Mother She was promised to Dongfang Xu by decree. Everyone kept the fact that I was injured in the martial arts competition with Dongfang Yue from her. She didn't know about it until the night of getting married. Before Dongfang Xu entered the bridal chamber, she was already He committed suicide." Zhao Shuo said in a eloquent manner, but he avoided the important and ignored the minor, and his words were somewhat vague.
"It stands to reason that since she was married to Dongfang Xu, she shouldn't have entered my Zhao family's lintel, and she couldn't have entered my Prince Rui's mansion. In the end, Dongfang Yue let it go, everyone died, and the dead are the most important. Ye Zhiqiu is so virtuous General Ye was too regretful and wanted to make it happen. So I collected her bones and kept them in Yiye Zhiqiu in the backyard of Yangxin Pavilion. The name of the yard was originally her name, but who knew it would eventually become hers. A place of burial."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo hugged Xia Yu tightly in his arms, "Do you also think that I am a bit useless, that if I don't get to live, I get to die?"
Xia Yu smiled wryly, "If——I mean, if you were given another chance, would you fight Dongfang Yue to the death?"
He couldn't tell, "I will lose again."
She lowered her eyes and remained silent, with an indescribable sadness in her eyes.Ye Zhiqiu, in his heart, still occupies an extremely important position, no matter ten years or twenty years, will it continue like this?
"I lost on purpose." He hesitated for a long time before whispering quietly.
Xia Yu was stunned, and her body shook, "What did you say?" She stared at him incredulously.
Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "I just don't want the Ye family to marry the Dongfang family! At that time, I was young and vigorous, with little strategy and immature mind, so I could only do so. "
She didn't quite understand, "Why?"
"Because." He sighed softly, stroking her pale cheeks tenderly, "If I say, I have killed many people, and I have done many things you can't even imagine, and one day, I may even use you, Will you still follow me?"
"If one day, you hold great power, even the entire imperial court is in your hands, controlling life and death in the world. Would you still want me? I have nothing, I can't help you with anything, and it may even drag you down. "Xia Yu condensed his face and asked in this way.
Zhao Shuo suddenly laughed, and turned his eyes away in disgust, not looking at her anymore.
Ruyu wrapped his arms around his neck forcefully, "Look at me and answer me."
"Are all women so unreasonable?" Zhao Shuo's eyes softened a lot, and he looked at her lightly.
Xia Yu smiled badly, and suddenly pushed him directly on the bed.Zhao Shuo was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.After regaining consciousness, the little girl was already clinging to his chest, "You know that women are unreasonable, but you still try to reason with me, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Zhao Shuo chuckled lightly, "How does Uncle Xia plan to deal with this king?"
"You are so beautiful and delicious, of course Uncle Xia is reluctant to kill you." Xia Yu climbed up on him, imitating his usual appearance, put her hands on the sides of his cheeks, and stared at him with great interest, "Boy , How about becoming Uncle Xia? From now on, I will never let you go hungry if you eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
He rolled his eyes slightly, and glanced at the dimly colored curtains, "Would you like, Master, to build up the whole of Prince Rui's Mansion? Send it to you?"
Xia Yu unbuttoned his shirt, and put her icy hands directly into his chest.Zhao Shuo was so startled that his body trembled, and the change of hot and cold made the smile on his face disappear instantly.
She lowered her head, followed his example, and slowly bit his neck.In the end, he gently kissed his Adam's apple, but made him roll closely with his Adam's apple, and his whole body began to boil with enthusiasm, "Do you know what you are doing?"
She is playing with fire.
"I ate you." She giggled, very much like those young masters visiting brothels.It seems that Zhao Shuo at this moment is the Hualou girl named by Xia Yu, and now she is lying under her, letting her do whatever she wants.
Zhao Shuo raised his eyebrows, his voice was hoarse and deep, "Let men do this kind of thing!"
When the sound fell, he turned over and pressed her down.
Sadness is a day, and happiness is a day. In this case, why not choose to live in a more comfortable way?Feel melancholy and annoyed for those unworthy things and unworthy people, making what you do worthless, why bother?
The next morning, Luo Hua and Xun Mei waited at the door for a long time, Zhao Shuo went out early in the morning, Xia Yu didn't get up for a long time, and she didn't know what happened last night.
Yesterday, shortly after Xia Yu entered the house, Zhao Shuo hurried over and kicked open the door.Anu blocked Luohua and Xunmei, so they couldn't get in naturally.When he regained his senses, Zhao Shuo had already come out holding the fainted Xia Yu.That face was terribly dark, almost frozen in the wind and snow, and it was so cold that people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
But what was more worrying was Xia Yu's body.
Going in vertically and coming out horizontally, anyone would be terribly worried.
Zhao Shuo took Xia Yu back to the room, Xin Fu also went in, and came out again after a while.With Li Huan and Anu blocking the door, Xunmei and Luohua couldn't visit, let alone Zhao Shuo inside.
The black line on Prince Rui's face has not yet faded, who would dare to touch it, unless it is because he doesn't want to live.
Fortunately, Xin Fudao, it was just a skin trauma, just fainted, nothing serious.Xia Yu's own healing ability is excellent, and she will be fine after a night's sleep.In this way, Xunmei and Luohua were relieved.
It's just that Xia Yu's body is fine, so how will Zhao Shuo punish Xia Yu?
Anu received ten lashes as punishment.What about Xia Yu?
Luo Hua and Xun Mei stayed up all night and waited in the yard early in the morning. They didn't dare to poke their heads to see Xia Yu's movements until they saw Zhao Shuo leave.The ear is attached to the facade, and there is no movement inside.
If there is no movement, it should be a good thing!
"Come in, what are you looking at outside?" Xia Yu stretched her waist and sat up, Xunmei's footsteps were naturally very low, but Luo Hua made a commotion.She doesn't know martial arts, and she can't control her breathing and footsteps as freely as Xunmei.
Xunmei walked in quickly, "Young master, are you alright?"
Xia Yu scratched the back of her neck, "What can I do?"
Hearing this, Xun Mei felt relieved, and saw the red mark on Xia Yu's neck at a glance, her face turned reddish, and she didn't speak any more.On the other hand, Luo Hua smiled and said, "My lord, you don't know, the prince's face last night was so ugly, it's scary, it can really scare people to death."
"How ugly?" Xia Yu asked knowingly.
Luo Hua thought for a while, she was illiterate, so naturally she couldn't say those high-sounding words, what the common people said most often, "The face is as long as a shoehorn, and as dark as someone who digs coal and burns charcoal. , and those eyeballs were so hard that they could shoot lightning. Anyway, it was very scary. At that time, I was so scared that my legs trembled."
Xia Yu took a sip of tea into her mouth, couldn't laugh if she wanted to, and finally sprayed it on the ground, covering her stomach and laughing until she slapped the table.If Zhao Laojiu heard this description, it is estimated that the two eyes are not simply lightning, and there will definitely be a storm.
Xunmei shook her head helplessly, and hurriedly stroked Xia Yu's back, "Young master, don't laugh, be careful that you lose your temper when you laugh."
"That's, it's the truth!" Luo Hua scratched her temples, "I'm not wrong."
"That's right, that's right." Xia Yu wiped her mouth, but still grinned from ear to ear, "It's just that, let's just talk about it, and you must not lose your head and tell others." Sometimes Zhao Laojiu wanted to kill someone, but she couldn't stop her.
Luo Hua smiled and nodded, "Naturally, I don't talk much about anyone in this world except Young Master."
She also doesn't have any relatives, so she really has nowhere to go except to follow Xia Yu.
Xia Yu smiled and took Luo Hua's hand, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you before you get married. We are all brothers who have died, and we can't do without each other. When the peach blossoms bloom , let’s have a three-way friendship in Taoyuan, and then I will take you to the rivers and lakes.”
Luo Hua nodded again and again, "Okay, that's a deal."
"Young master is as good as you promise, and you will definitely do what you promise." Xia Yu patted her chest and promised.
Xunmei sat down, hesitated a little, and looked at Xia Yu worriedly, "Young master, did the lord really not say anything about what happened yesterday? Could you be the one to blame?"
Xia Yu shook her head, "Where is he willing to blame me, but I suddenly discovered that some things have been made a big deal out of." She stood up, her face turned cold, "People's words are terrible, but I never thought that one day I would answer them on my own body."
"What does the young master mean, that we have been used by others?" Xun Mei said coldly.
Luo Hua was stunned, "Use? What is there to use? Are you not afraid of being exposed when you create something out of nothing?"
"What's scary isn't something created out of nothing, but people's hearts." Xia Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the sky with concentration, "Everyone's weaknesses are different, but everyone has curiosity. They didn't create something out of nothing, but It's true and false, half true. But they forgot that Zhao Laojiu is a thousand-year-old fox, how could he fall into the trap easily. I will do it, but Zhao Laojiu may not be able to do it. He thought of everything I couldn't think of .”
Xia Yu turned her head back, "But I don't have any proof, whether it was an accidental mistake or intentional, who knows!"
Luo Hua nodded, "It's really hard to say. Because it's true, but such things are always exaggerated."
"Then she knows about the Ye family, can't it be her?" Xun Meinu pouted and motioned to Ye Eryu.
"Who knows, there is no evidence or certificate." Xia Yu stretched her waist and began to put on her clothes slowly.
Luo Hua stepped forward, "My lord, don't think so much. As long as you make it clear to the lord that there is no suspicion in everyone's mind, you don't have to worry about anything. People are separated from each other, because they all have selfish intentions. The lord is open and frank, and the lord treats you so kindly." You don't think there will be any problem."
Xia Yu smiled, "I can't get involved in his affairs, so I'd rather not ask. If I ask too much, I'll be tired. I just have to be myself, and those things will rot! When the rot is over, it will naturally disappear. .”
Xunmei nodded, "The young master is so open-minded, Xunmei feels inferior."
"It's not open-minded, it's just that I'm afraid of death and cherish my life, so I don't want to let myself know too much, lest I die young, and it won't be worth it." Xia Yu smiled like a flower, "I just started my life, and I don't want to be so easy. .”
Xunmei laughed lightly, although she spoke crazily, it was very reasonable.
It's just that Xia Yu didn't expect that there would be another wave of ups and downs. The Hou's mansion just got engaged, and there were rumors in the market that the Seventh Prince of Daxia had taken a fancy to the princess Xie Huan and wanted to marry the princess. for wife.
As a result, people all over the world talked about it.
Daxia and Dayan have been fighting for many years, most of it is Xie Huan's credit.
But this general of the Great Yan Dynasty who took the lead in resisting Great Xia wanted to marry the Seventh Prince of Great Xia at this moment.Then after thinking about it, Xie Huan is a woman after all, and a woman in power will more or less attract criticism.Marriage is the most common thing.If she could marry the Seventh Prince of Da Xia, it would be a good thing to exchange for peace between the two countries.
Xia Yu walked into Yage, but Xunmei was chattering, "Isn't this nonsense? Let the princess marry Da Xia far away, and when Da Xia comes to commit crimes in the future, who will charge forward? Just what? Ying gave him a pot to drink, and when he went to the battlefield, he was going to die."
When mentioning Shuying, Xia Yu glanced at her.
Realizing Xia Yu's strangeness, Xunmei remained silent.
"Anu, are you okay?" Xia Yu turned her head and asked.
Anu shook her head, her complexion was pale, but she had already gotten used to it, and her face still had the usual cold look.Xia Yu poured a cup of tea and handed it over. The four of them sat around the table, each silent.
"I heard that the princess is ill." Luo Hua said.
Xunmei glanced at her, "Anyone who encounters this will get sick." If you are sick, the marriage will be voided.
"This is a matter of the imperial court, and we can't interrupt it." Xia Yu frowned, "What I am concerned about now is, who is behind my back? Once, twice, three times, who did I offend?"
Luo Hua said, "My lord, don't worry too much. With Xunmei and Anu here, no one can hurt you." She picked up the hot water and wanted to add tea for everyone, but the hand that was pouring the tea kept trembling.
"What happened to your right hand?" Xia Yu asked.
"When I was doing needlework at night, I accidentally stuck it too deep and it hurt a bit. I'm right-handed, but I can't be left-handed. This doesn't make me laugh." Luo Hua smiled, "It's okay."
"Don't do it at night." Xia Yu smiled, "It's not good for your eyes."
Luo Hua just nodded and smiled without answering.Years ago, she had to do well.Let Xia Yu wear the clothes she made for the new year, Luo Hua felt warm in her heart just thinking about it.
Xia Yu looked at her right hand, then at her left hand, as if she remembered something, she was a little dazed.
Is it—
----------------
Zhenyuanhou Mansion.
Xie Huan said he was sick and stayed behind closed doors.
But sometimes you don't go out, it doesn't mean others won't come in.The Seventh Prince Yuan Hao and Heli made a special trip to prepare generous gifts and visit their patients.It is said to be a visit, but what it actually means is clear to each other.
On the martial arts arena, Xie Huan was good at kung fu, [-] kinds of martial arts, proficient in all of them, and she was worthy of being Dayan's number one female general.Civil and military are well prepared, women are not inferior to men.
Qingyun handed over the sweat towel, "Is the princess tired?"
"After returning to Beijing, I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm unfamiliar!" Xie Huan chuckled, took the sweat towel, and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. His face was white and rosy, which was healthy. "It's a pity. -"
Qingyu took the spear in Xie Huan's hand and inserted it back to its original place, "What did the princess say, the princess's Xie family's marksmanship is really proficient, and there are few rivals in the world."
Xie Huan sighed softly, and was about to step up, but the housekeeper hurried forward, "The Princess is not well, the Seventh Prince and Prime Minister Daxia are here to visit."
"What are they here for?" Qingyu frowned.
Xie Huan's eyes darkened slightly, "The flower hall prepares tea, I'll be right there."
The butler nodded, bowed and stepped back.
"Didn't the Princess call you sick? Still want to see him?" Qing Yun handed over his coat.
Xie Huan walked out while putting on his clothes, "Calling sick is just delaying time, but everyone knows in their hearts that I am sick. It's good to meet in private, some people should avoid some people, and have a good talk .”
"Isn't the princess worried?" Qingyun stepped forward, "If it gets out, people will follow suit. Even if the princess doesn't want to marry, it will inevitably be true. Why don't you see me?"
Xie Huan stopped in his tracks, glanced at the excellent sunshine, and said thoughtfully, "I can't see you." After saying that, he walked forward quickly.
Qingyun sighed softly, and glanced at Qingyu, after all, he was helpless.
There are kings above and people below, so what?
Yuan Hao and Heli were waiting in the flower hall. After a while, Xie Huan changed his clothes and came slowly.When she came down to the imperial court, she was no longer the bow of a courtier, but a majestic and loyal princess.The rite of the princess is flawless.
It's just that the stern air in his gestures remains undiminished, like a general on horseback, majestic and majestic, still showing a calm and majestic look.
"It's really a blessing for the Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence that you two come here." Xie Huan slightly pulled his lips, clasped his fists with a smile that was not a smile.
Yuan Hao smiled, and returned the gift, "I heard that the princess is not feeling well, so I came to visit now. One is to comfort the princess, and the other is to come and see how the place where my future concubine has been living has been."
"The seventh prince's words are too early. The emperor has not issued an order, and I have not agreed to it. How can the future imperial concubine talk?" Xie Huan sat down, took a sip of tea, and said this as if nothing had happened.It was as if what the two said had nothing to do with her.Such a calm and calm spirit, emanating from a woman, really has a different kind of charm.
"Sooner or later, why should the princess be persistent." Yuan Hao sipped his tea.
Xie Huan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Why do you think I'm persistent? Why don't you say that the Seventh Prince is too aggressive."
"I really want to marry you, why do you say it is coercive?" Yuan Hao smiled slightly, "Although it is a political marriage, why doesn't the Princess believe it? I fell in love with you at first sight?"
"It's almost like an arrow piercing the heart." Xie Huan said unhurriedly, and then snorted, "Seventh Prince give up, I won't marry Daxia far away."
"Then don't be afraid, I, Daxia, will launch a war against you, Dayan? Because of my own selfishness, it will cause people to lose their lives, and the people will live in dire straits. Do you think it's worth it?" Yuan Hao asked.
Xie Huan stared at him thoughtfully, "If it's just your own selfishness, it's fine, but it's a pity that you won't get what you want because the world is public. You guys even cover up your true colors , and expect me to be sincere? Isn’t this a slap in the face?”
As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Hao frowned in shock, and then glanced at Heli beside him.
Heli smiled, "I don't know why the princess made such a statement?"
"It's nothing, it's just nonsense!" Xie Huan sneered, "I don't know if you all know the rules of my Xie family?"
"What rules?" Yuan Hao asked.
Xie Huan said, "The daughter-in-law chosen by my Xie family must know martial arts in the first round. My father set a rule for me when I was young. If anyone wants to marry me in the future, he must beat me. The seventh prince thinks , can I pass the first level?"
Yuan Hao smiled, "Why don't you try."
"The Seventh Prince has a noble status, I'm afraid of hurting you." Xie Huan sipped his tea thoughtfully.
"Although I don't say that martial arts are unrivaled in the world, but--it's not too bad to think about it." Yuan Hao's eyes were slightly hurt, "Will the princess agree to this marriage if he wins?"
Xie Huan put down his cup, "I'll talk after you win first."
"Okay!" Yuan Hao agreed immediately, "Please enlighten me, Princess."
"Do you want a weapon?" Xie Huan asked.
Yuan Hao shook his head, "You don't need a weapon if you click as far as you can. You can see the truth with your hands and feet."
"Then offend." Xie Huan took a deep breath, put down the cup in his hand, and walked out the door slowly.Although the empty yard is not comparable to a martial arts training ground, it is quite spacious if you want to learn martial arts.
When going out, Xie Huan glanced at the guard Hatu standing outside the door.Hatu quickly bowed his head to show respect.
With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Xie Huan walked past him with a half-smile and walked into the yard.
Qingyun and Qingyu stood in the corridor, looking at Heli and Yuan Hao coldly, they believed that the princess's martial arts could definitely surpass the Seventh Prince of Daxia's.But he still held his breath and watched this match with straining heart.
"Please!" Xie Huan stretched out his hand.
Yuan Hao smiled, "Then—offended!" After the sound fell, he shot suddenly.
He shot very fast, lightning fast, as if well-trained.The routine is weird, completely different from the martial arts of the Great Yan Dynasty.Fortunately, Xie Huan was also in contact with the Great Xia army, and he knew these Great Xia people quite well.
With a leap, he quickly avoided Yuan Hao's palm, and pushed out with a backhand.
You are quick, I must be faster.
Palm to palm, each doing their best.
Xie Huan would never show mercy if he made a move.And the other side seemed to be trying their best.In the end, he was surprised, Yuan Hao hit Xie Huan on the shoulder with a palm, Xie Huan was careless, and immediately took several steps back to stand up.
Qingyun and Qingyu were stunned, and hurried forward to stand beside Xie Huan, "Princess?"
Xie Huan shook his head, "I'm fine, thank you Seventh Prince for your mercy."
"So, I have passed the first level?" Yuan Hao stepped forward with a smile, and when he came to Xie Huan, the smile on his brows became stronger, "I think the princess is a person who promises everything, then I will wait for the county to give up." Good news for the lord. The princess is resting and recuperating, so farewell!"
After the sound fell, Yuan Hao turned and left.
Hurley, who was silent at the side, frowned slightly, as if thinking about something else.
"Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince's martial arts are so powerful." Qing Yun couldn't believe it, "Princess, are you okay?"
Xie Huan shook his head, "It's nothing, but let me confirm one thing."
"What's the matter?" Qingyu was puzzled.
Xie Huan smiled and said nothing, it seemed that it was necessary for her to go there in person.
