Chapter 035: For Sleep
"How can a waste person manage state affairs?"
In the dark and narrow carriage, Shang Jue's voice carried an obvious coolness, which was really not easy for him who had always been calm and relaxed, and his eyes narrowed slightly...... Wreck?
discovered the secrets of Yan Kingdom, but Chaoxi did not plan to delve into it.
She turned her head to look out of the car window and said lightly, "It seems that the Yan Kingdom is completely under the control of His Royal Highness the Prince. β
Shang Jue's gaze fell on Chaoxi, and he said silently, "If you want to know the secrets of Yan Wang's Palace, you can come and ask me directly, my father was too hard when he was young, and it is time to rest at this age." β
Blowing the hand of the car curtain day and night, King Yan and King Shu are in the same grade, King Shu is still in his prime, King Yan must be the same, just the previous generation of King Yan...... Scattered information jumped into Chaoxi's mind, she was not sure if King Yan was really as bloodthirsty and unrighteous as rumored, any royal family has a change of throne, close brothers will become enemies, and father and son whose blood is thicker than water will also turn against each other, the previous generation of King Yan was rumored to kill his brother on the throne, but this is really common in the royal family.
Of course, what made Chaoxi interested was not how King Yan killed his brother, she was only surprised by Shang Jue's undisguised indifference to King Yan, and why did King Yan become a waste, and why did Shang Jue return to Yan Palace three years ago when he was out of the court?
With her mysterious life experience and thunderous methods, Shang Jue was only a stone's throw away from her, but she didn't know anything about him, which felt as if she was out of her control, which really made her very insecure.
"I don't care if King Yan should rest. Chaoxi's voice was faint, and he said, "It's just that if you say that you want to go to Haojing to get the emperor's decree, Yan Shu will definitely be regarded as a family, and how Yan Guo is, Shu will definitely inherit it." β
One is prosperous, one is lost, what is said day and night is obscure, Shang Jue doesn't understand.
"In your heart, I'm a fool?"
Chaoxi never answered this question, but he had already nodded in his heart, no matter what his reasons were all kinds of false and wronged, the act of sending nine cities as a dowry was a big nonsense, how did he convince the hundred officials of Yan State?
The chariot slowly drove to the gate of the palace, and the sky outside was even darker, seeing that he didn't speak, Shang Jue didn't say anything more, he had already returned to normal, but the slight waves still made him silent!
The guards of the palace gate saw that the chariot was not blocked and let go, and when the chariot went out of the palace gate, the prosperity of Baling at night outside instantly came into view, obviously the crowd was boiling, and the lights of thousands of homes were clearly bright, but the day and night leaned on the car wall and suddenly felt very tired.
The bustle that was close at hand was far away from her, and the bright neon as far as the eye could see turned gray.
Chaoxi pursed her lips, and her consciousness suddenly disappeared a little.
Shang Jue almost immediately noticed that something was wrong with the day, she had been playing with her straight back, half of her body leaning against the car wall, her head leaning against the window, and the vigilance on her body was fading little by little.
Day and night...... I fell asleep like this......
The chariot walked through the most lively Fang Market in Baling, and all the excitement did not enter Shang Jue's eyes, Shang Jue never approached the sunset, but he kept his eyes on her, until the chariot stopped in front of the princess's mansion, and he did not make any moves.
In total, they hadn't slept together for days.
Time passed minute by minute, Shang Jue looked at Chaoxi steadily, his eyes suddenly became hot, his sedentary body leaned forward gently, one hand gently brushed on the cuffs, and then probed his hand in Chaoxi's snort, Chaoxi didn't seem to sleep deeply, his body trembled slightly because of his proximity, he frowned slightly, and saw that Chaoxi did not wake up before he raised his eyebrows.
Withdrawing his hand, he grabbed Chaoxi and hugged her in his arms, and said outside with a slightly gloomy gaze, "Yun Zhe, you go to sue SΓΉ Shen'er, just say that Her Royal Highness the princess will go with me tonight, and the rest of the people will withdraw." β
Outside the carriage, there were many Yan State guards, and when they heard the words, they all quickly withdrew, and Yun Zhe, who was driving, also got off the carriage and jumped into the gate of the princess's mansion.
"Xiao Jiu, change the carriage and go to the south of the city. β
There was no one around the chariot, Shang Jue commanded to the emptiness of the surrounding void, and after a while, a green cloth carriage turned out of the corner of the street, and the driving was Zhan Jiucheng, the carriage arrived in front of him, Zhan Jiucheng first opened the curtain of the chariot, only to see Shang Jue come out short, and still hold the sleeping Chaoxi in his arms.
Zhan Jiucheng lowered his gaze and avoided, and Shang Jue got into the green cloth carriage with the morning and evening.
Zhan Jiucheng didn't ask much, got in the car and drove towards the south of the city, the pattern of Baling City is like all the royal capitals, the imperial city is located in the north, there are fang cities in the east and west, the nobles are in the east, the rich are in the west, and most of the places in the south of the city are the locations of commoners and untouchables, such a place is really not the place where the princess and the prince should go, but Shang Jue went to the south of the city tonight.
The night was dark, only a few stars were seen above the sky, the green cloth carriage walked through the streets and alleys inconspicuously, until the south of the city, the carriage twisted and turned, from the royal street to the auxiliary road, and from the main road where several carriages were parallel to the narrow road that only allowed a bright carriage, the surrounding from the high gate and wide courtyard of the imperial house into a low and noisy house, until the south, when it came to a certain fork in the road, even the battle of the nine cities did not know whether to turn left or right......
has arrived in the south of the city, but where does Shang Jue want to go?
"Turn right and go straight, and the third left turn. β
Shang Jue didn't even lift the curtain, but calmly reported the direction.
Zhan Jiucheng immediately did so, most of the houses around the narrow road were dark, only a few houses were still shining light, and the untouchables who passed by before went to the city, although most of the houses here were short and dilapidated, but they were very quiet and tidy, even the sound of the wheels of the carriage was abrupt in this night, and occasionally heard a few dogs barking, as if they had arrived in a suburban village!
"Turn left and go further seven homes. β
Shang Jue reported another direction, and Zhan Jiucheng still did it, but he never asked more than Shang Jue commanded.
One household, two households, three households, the carriage went forward seven more households, Zhan Jiucheng looked up and saw a small house with dim lights at the door, compared to the house on the side, this house looks slightly richer, but it is only the blue tile and white wall is delicate and elegant, naturally and the princess's mansion can not be compared, Zhan Jiucheng got out of the carriage and said respectfully, "Your Highness, it has arrived." β
Shang Jue in the carriage was silent before opening the curtain, he was still holding the sleeping Chaoxi in his arms, Zhan Jiucheng glanced at it, and was a little curious that Chaoxi slept so deeply, he had fought for many years, and commanded tens of millions of troops, in his eyes, Chaoxi was naturally not a weak woman without the power of a chicken, and he naturally would not think that Chaoxi was really asleep.
Shang Jue walked straight to the house with the day and night, and Zhan Jiucheng parked the carriage and followed.
As soon as Shang Jue walked to the door, someone inside the door opened the door, and a white-haired rickety old man stood behind the door.
Shang Jue walked in leisurely, Zhan Jiucheng followed behind, and there was a large area of green bamboo!
It is a spring day, a large area of green bamboo is tall and verdant, the fragrance of bamboo is blowing in the face, the breeze is passing by, the bamboo leaves are rustling, Zhan Jiucheng almost fell in love with this place at a glance, although it is in Baling City, although it is in the south of the city, but this house has a great sense of being hidden in the city, and Zhan Jiucheng does not know when Shang Jue bought this house!
The old man who opened the door quietly followed all the way to the end, the whole house was only lit by a ghost lamp in the old man's hand, a few people walked through the path between the bamboo forests, and soon arrived at a courtyard, compared to the princess's mansion, this courtyard only has one entry, it is really small and pitiful, there is an oil lamp lit in the house, and Shang Jue is about to enter the main house with the morning and evening.
Zhan Jiucheng looked at Shang Jue and blinked, "Your Highness, this ......"
Shang Jue said "um" while walking, but he didn't stop, Zhan Jiucheng walked up the steps, followed all the way to the door before he paused, standing at the door and looking inside, Shang Jue hugged the day and night around the screen and seemed to be heading towards the bedroom, Zhan Jiucheng raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "Your Highness...... That's how you ......"
Saying that, when he looked back, the old man stood at the bottom of the steps and looked at them, seeing him look over, the old man grinned, it was an absolutely old face, the battle of the Nine Cities had been on the battlefield for a long time, but the smile of the old man holding the lamp in the dark night made his heart tremble slightly, the scene was so weird, and His Royal Highness seemed to be about to do something irreparable!
"Don't worry, he's deaf and dumb. β
Shang Jue didn't look back and knew what Zhan Jiucheng was worried about, and only after hearing him say this, Zhan Jiucheng relieved himself, and couldn't help but take a shallow breath and hesitate, "Your Highness, does the princess know that you are like this, you are here to ...... specially"
Zhan Jiucheng wanted to speak and stopped, but Shang Jue was silent.
Zhan Jiucheng coughed lightly, "Your Highness, today's dowry gift has just arrived, and you ...... Even if...... Should the princess's consent be asked as well...... You must know better about the princess's temperament, if the princess wakes up tomorrow, I'm afraid that all her work will be wasted......"
Zhan Jiucheng was so embarrassed that only Shang Jue could make such an embarrassing speech for a heroic general, he didn't dare to doubt Shang Jue, but Shang Jue has always been on the wrong side of the sword on the issue of day and night.
In the dead of night, Shang Jue took the sleepy morning and night to avoid people's ears and eyes to such a secluded place.
Shang Jue does have the name of God and Buddha outside, and Zhan Jiucheng also knows Shang Jue's behavior, but he doesn't believe in Shang Jue's self-control in the face of the day and night, if something really happens, with the day and night's temperament......
Zhan Jiucheng shook his head and sighed, His Royal Highness really had no demeanor on the issue of day and night......
"Xiao Jiu, are you worrying too much, it's not what you think. β
Zhan Jiucheng suddenly raised his head, and he knew that His Royal Highness was not at all what he had thought......
"Close the door, you go back to the post house first, and Yun Zhe will come later." β
Although he didn't know why Shang Jue was like this, Zhan Jiucheng trusted Shang Jue in his heart, and he was slightly stunned and raised his hand to close the door.
Shang Jue's voice inside the door came a little far, but he said slowly as if he wanted not to worry Zhan Jiucheng, "You don't have to think too much, other places are out of place, I brought her here just to sleep......"
Zhan Jiucheng's closed hand shook violently, sleep, sleep?!
