Xue Yao copied his hands and stood in front of the counter of Panxiang Pavilion watching the butler Xue Gui deliver box after box of rare treasures to the carriage parked outside the door. full of exhaustion.

"General, this is a famous post from the palace. The emperor said that you should personally buy a dowry gift for the princess, so that the princess can see our sincerity in Nansang, and don't offend Xizhao anymore." General Xue Gui's famous post Submit it to Xue Yao for review.

"I leave it to you, just follow the requirements of the above." After Xue Yao finished speaking, he walked out of the door. Now all the rouge and gouache in the Panxiang Pavilion were once treasures that pleased his sweetheart, but now he just feels bored .

"But the general..."

Xue Yao turned a deaf ear and left straight away, but met Xingchen who was drunk.

Xingchen was still holding the jug in his hand, pointing at Xue Yao's nose and yelling: "You heartless man? How dare you appear in front of me? See if I don't beat you to death!" After speaking, he punched Xue Yao, With quick eyes and quick hands, Xue Yao caught Xing Chen with one palm and waved his fist.

"You calm down."

However, as soon as Xing Chen struggled hard, he pushed Xue Yao back heavily, Xue Yao stood still, and gave Xing Chen a palm instead, and the two were at a stalemate.

"Xue Yao! She has been waiting for you in the prison, just waiting for you. As long as you are willing to take her away, she will go with you, and she will only go with you—" Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Xingchen confides the words in his heart aloud, But Xue Yao immediately interrupted: "Calm down, this is outside the palace, is it okay to be seen by Xizhao people?"

"Xizhao? Are you still thinking about Xizhao?" Xingchen pointed to the boxes piled up in front of the carriage and asked, "Are you here to prepare a bride price for your Xizhao bride?" A box was kicked over again and again, rouge, gouache, gold and silver ornaments were scattered all over the ground.

"Fuck your betrothal gift!" Xingchen roared, throwing the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, with a bang, the porcelain pieces scattered, "Didn't you agree to elope with the imperial sister? Why do you have to worry so much, why do you have to torture me?" she?!"

Xingchen rushed forward and punched Xue Yao straight. Xue Yao looked at Xingchen's fist, but remained motionless, without any intention of fighting back. When he punched, blood oozed from the corner of Xue Yao's mouth.

Bai Li raised his eyes and quickly supported Xue Yao, and said in a hurry: "General! Lord Shun doesn't seem to know that you saved him that day, or the subordinate—"

"Get back!" Xue Yao gave an order, and slowly approached Xingchen after speaking. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and spoke slowly, unable to hear his emotions: "I tortured her, why isn't she torturing me?" .”

At this time, Xingchen couldn't hear any explanation from Xue Yao at all, and raised his fist to hit Xue Yao again. This time, Xue Yao caught it firmly and pushed back, and the two of them fought back and forth.

When the two stopped their hands, their faces were covered with color, and Xingchen asked as if all his strength had been drained: "Xue Yao, why did you marry Naxi? Sister Huang loves you so much, you are clearly beating her heart." One knife, is there no other way?"

Xue Yao sighed dejectedly: "...No."

"In the past, whether I treated you as an enemy or as a friend, I always have a respect for you in my heart. I am convinced that you can win Miss Huang, but this time..." Xing Chen was angry, his eyes seemed to be quenched with sparks, "I despise you!"
