What Zheng Dan didn't say, Xi Shi also understood.

How is this the right thing to say?

I can't tell her that I was reborn on behalf of Xi Shi, I have long known Fan Li's wolf ambitions, and he has always been false and wrongful to him. Otherwise, Zheng Dan will definitely not be able to accept it, and if he can't say it, he will see her as a monster.

Xi Shi didn't want Zheng Dan to think that he still had a deep affection for Fan Li and felt guilty for betraying the feelings of the three of them.

It's time to tell her the truth, or maybe she'll be living in the torment of self-blame.

"King Wu is a good man." Xi Shi slowly paced to the window, looked at the sparse flower branches reflected outside in the window lattice, considered it, and said slowly.

"What...... What ......" Zheng Dan suspected that she had heard it wrong, she thought that she would be accused by Xi Shi, but she never expected that Xi Shi would praise King Wu.

"I used to think that Fan Li was the best man in the world. I am willing to sacrifice my life for his ideals, far away from my homeland and come to Wu, just to fulfill him. Xi Shi paused, unfolded the handkerchief embroidered with the cross-necked mandarin duck in his hand, stared at it for a moment, smiled miserably, and continued: "However, sometimes things are often not what they seem. ”

"Do you remember Xu Meiren? Came from Yue Country with us, and Xu Meiren, who died early by the lotus pond a few days after coming. I happened to pass by and rescued her. I told everyone that she was dead when she was rescued, but she wasn't. At that time, I told Xianglan to call someone, and I was the only one left with her. She was unconscious for a while before she woke up. ”

"She told me that it was Gui'er, the personal maid given to her by Mrs. Jun, who pushed her into the water. Because after she accepted the favor, Gui'er brought her a bowl of tonic medicine to drink, she knew a little about medicine, and she didn't eat it right, so she secretly looked at the medicine residue and found that it was sterilization. Shocked, he asked Gui'er why she did this. When Gui'er saw that the matter was revealed, she told her the truth, saying that ten of us would be sterilized after accepting the favor, and the personal maids around us were all people from King Yue. King Yue and Fan Li will not allow us to have the children of King Wu, only in this way will we be their pawns wholeheartedly and spy on the news of Wu for them. ”

It's a half-truth. It is true that Xi Shi saved Xu Meiren, but Xu Meiren was no longer breathing at that time, and no one knew whether she understood medicine or not. The rest of the story was all made up by Shih Tzu.

Anyway, it is a fact that ten of them were sterilized. For a woman, there is no need to say much about what it means to be infertile. Only this reason can explain why she no longer cares about Fan Li, and prepares them to get rid of the fate of being pawns in the future.

Zheng Dan was dumbfounded, his face was pale, as if he had been struck by lightning, "It's impossible...... How could this be......"

Even if she can't help but like her husband, Fan Li is also the big brother she admires the most, and she has an irreplaceable position in her heart. Did such an extraordinary, erudite and elegant person deceive himself? Then they risked their lives to come to Wu Kingdom away from their parents under his inspiration, and volunteered to spy on news for Yue Guo, but it was just a trap? Are they just chess pieces? She unconsciously fell in love with King Wu during this time, but she didn't dare to say it, entangled in the hatred of the country, the family feud and the responsibility on her body, it was just a joke?

Zheng Dan didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the needles and threads in his hands slipped to the ground.

Wait, "sterilization pills"? So we ......

Looking at Zheng Dan's desperate eyes that were on the verge of collapse, Xi Shi hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, the two of us didn't eat that." ”

"Remember the recipe I gave you? At that time, I was thinking about my young brother, and I didn't want to give birth to an heir for King Wu. The two of us drank the soup of avoiding children, so we would not drink other decoctions after accepting favors. As long as the results are the same, they no longer have to drug us. That shunzi soup is just a temporary contraception and will not harm the body. I also secretly found a reliable doctor to test it, and it was no problem. ”

"It's just that the pandan and red fruit around us are all given by Mrs. Jun, and they are the only ones who can drug us unconsciously. We will have to be secretly wary of them in the future, but we can't make it too obvious. Our parents are still in Wu Kingdom, and we can't startle the snake. In the future, we will continue to drink that kind of child-avoiding soup every time we accept pets, and we will stabilize them for the time being. ”

That's all there is to it.

Zheng Dan was too stimulated today. Fan Li was the person they trusted the most, but he deceived them. She was shocked at first, then desperate, and now she came back to her senses and looked at Xi Shi with a tenacious and mature look, she used to take care of this little sister by herself, but now she asked this little sister to protect her. Xi Shi's feelings for Fan Li are deeper than her, and the shock and disappointment when she first learned about it must have been even worse than her. I don't know how Xi Shi accepted this matter. Zheng Dan immediately felt distressed.

"Sister, it's hard for you this time!" Zheng Dan looked at Xi Shi with pity, walked over and grabbed Xi Shi's little hand with both hands, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

"Sister!" Xi Shi involuntarily had a sour nose and threw himself into Zheng Dan's arms. This is the love of the original owner. The original owner has always regretted Zheng Dan's death, and Han Ruo also really loves this simple and kind sister.

"Sister, we shouldn't get involved in other people's affairs. I don't want to hate King Yue, and I don't want to hate Fan Li, but I won't love this person anymore. What does their love and hatred have to do with us? We should live well for our families and for ourselves. After speaking, Xi Shi looked at Zheng Dan expectantly, hoping that she could make the same choice as herself.

Zheng Dan looked at Xi Shi's bright eyes, and said angrily: "Well, live for your family, live for yourself, don't care about their affairs!" ”

Shih Tzu burst into tears and laughed.

"Sister, King Wu is a good husband, but you don't like him too obviously. Pandan and Hongguo were all given by Mrs. Jun, and the information we sent back to China was sent by them, and the two of them must not be with us. If they find something wrong, I'm afraid it will be bad for us. rashly moved them, Fan Li will also be suspicious of us. Who knows if there are other fine works of Yue Guo in this palace. Xi Shi adjusted his mood and told Zheng Dan carefully.

"Well, I'll tell Hongguo when I go back that I did those things to invite pets. It should be possible to cover up the past. Zheng Dan hesitated and asked, "Sister, you say, if King Wu knew about us, would he forgive us?" ”

Should...... Would it?

Xi Shi decided to talk openly and honestly with King Wu. After all, King Wu died for Xi Shi in his last life. Even if he refuses to forgive them, he will not take their lives, at most he will no longer pamper them. If that's the case, I'll think of something else when the time comes.

If you want to escape the control of King Yue and Fan Li, it is definitely impossible for them to do it with only two weak women. Xi Shi has been holding back since he was reborn, and it is also to survive until now to get the help of King Wu.

Fucha recently felt that Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were not quite right.

Xi Shi always frowned and sighed, and didn't speak when he asked her, but only looked at him with melancholy eyes, and stopped talking, which made him feel furious. Every time Zheng Dan saw him, he sighed and avoided it. He thought he had done something wrong, and he reflected on it. But nothing special happened, isn't it all the same as before! Are these two homesick?

So the husband specially invited a famous chef from the Yue country.

On this day, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were invited to the Intoxicating Pavilion for a small banquet. The Intoxicating Pavilion is a small pavilion in the middle of the lake in the Imperial Garden, more than 100 meters away from the shore, connected by a loud clogs corridor.

That's right, this is the famous "Hibiki Gallery" in history.

Xi Shi's "clog dance" won the hearts of the king. In the previous life, the husband specially built a clog corridor for Xi Shi, and ordered people to hollow out the bottom of the corridor, put a large vat, and lay a wooden plank, and people wearing clogs walked up to make a "click" sound, just like dancing the clog dance.

This in itself is a kind of love between the two, but it was criticized by the minister as a symbol of the husband's indulgence in beauty.

In this life, Xi Shi didn't want him to fall into notoriety, so he remodeled this corridor, and the wooden planks on the corridor were paved with activities, so that when people walked by, they would also make a "clog" sound, and the water under the corridor was murmuring, which also had a unique flavor.

"Two concubines, please come in and sit." The husband hurriedly let the two of them into the court, "Look what this king has prepared for you!" ”

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan looked inside and straightened their eyes. I saw a plate of jade siu mai, a plate of crab roe lion head, a braised silver carp head, a drawer of crab roe soup dumplings, and three sets of ducks on the table, accompanied by various exquisite side dishes. A table full of famous dishes from Vietnam.

"This king sees that you have been unhappy lately, you must be homesick, right? This king invited a cook from the Yue Kingdom, and specially sent people to the best ingredients collected in the Yue Kingdom to give you a delicious meal. Are you satisfied? The husband looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, "Thank me".

Xi Shi Zheng Dan's eyes were red, and he was moved and guilty. They immediately glanced at each other, knelt down in unison, and decided to tell King Wu now.

The husband didn't want his subordinates to disturb the small gathering of the three, so he had already driven all the subordinates to the shore. There are curtains around the Intoxicating Heart Pavilion, and the people under them can't see the actions of the three people clearly from a distance, but it is quite private. Xi Shi and Zheng Dan don't have to worry about being seen by pandan and red fruit.

"The king, the concubine is guilty, and the concubine can't afford the king's favor."

"What are you two doing here? It's cold on the ground, get up quickly. The husband stood up in surprise and reached out to pull the two of them.

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan couldn't stand on their knees.

Xi Shi gently patted the back of Zheng Dan's hand, "Sister, let me tell you." ”

"King, my sister and I were young and ignorant, and we were deceived by Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and Fan Li, the prime minister of Yue, to come to Wu to do fine work, spy on Wu intelligence, and help Yue take revenge. Later, when I met the king, the king was not the tyrannical and unkind as the legend said, and he was very kind to our sisters. The two of us often feel guilty, but our parents are in the hands of Fan Li, so we have to pass on some news. ”

When the husband heard this, he was not annoyed, these things were already expected by him, and he had been expecting the day when they would be honest with him.

"We know we're sorry for the king, but we didn't spy on any confidential information, we just passed on what we saw and heard. The personal maids around us are all people from King Yue, and they will all know these things. May the King forgive us our sins for the sake of our honesty. ”

"Let's get up and talk first." The husband's expression did not change, and he still insisted that they get up first.

"Isn't the king angry?" Zheng Dan turned his head to look at his husband, his eyes were full of hope.

"Don't be angry. Actually, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. You didn't let me down. The husband smiled and hugged the two of them, his eyes as bright as a crescent moon.
