10. Miscalculation
You can see so many things just by looking at your face? Xiao Bao'er didn't believe it, "What exactly do you mean by mysterious things?" β
"A dream, a person, or a bizarre experience. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Isn't it just a dream! The Ancestral Temple, the Flying Flower Temple, these places that have never been set foot in have been seen repeatedly in dreams, and the real ones are as if they have experienced them personally. Xiao Baoer held back the dull pain in her heart and mouth, and completely believed Yao Xitong's nonsense!
"You know that my heart belongs, but you have a complaint about choosing you as a husband?"
Yao Xitong had long expected this question, and he smiled incomprehensibly, "The princess and Xitong are not husband and wife, and this choice of husband is just a chance, an opportunity for the princess to be with the person she likes." β
"What do you mean?"
Yao Xitong straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "The so-called fate of the world, life has a fate, and luck has luck, just like a glass of water, a cup is life, and the water in the cup is luck." Fortune can be changed, fate cannot be changed, and the amount of fortune is always within the pattern of life. β
"The princess has a noble life, but she has broken her luck because of something mysterious. If the princess is willing to stay in the palace to cultivate herself and make up for the bad luck, she will always be able to form a good relationship with her sweetheart one day. β
He doesn't want to marry Xiao Bao'er, today's disaster is just the beginning, who knows what he will face in the future? The best way is for Xiao Baoer to take the initiative to give up this husband selection and stay in the palace temporarily in order to change her life.
Xiao Baoer likes Xuan Ze, and she doesn't want to marry Xuan Ze and respond to the future foreseen by Xi Xixiang. Yao Xitong's method of changing his life sounds very simple, just stay in the palace to cultivate his self-cultivation, what does his so-called self-cultivation refer to?
The dull sound of a horn pierced through the dense forest and reached the ears of the two of them. The hunt began, and soon the nobles and guards chasing their prey could be seen breaking into the forest.
"Princess, the magpie is afraid that it won't be able to come back for a while, let's avoid it first!"
Xiao Bao'er nodded in agreement. She left the palace without permission, and there were no maids by her side, and the magpie could only help her find suitable clothes when she returned to the palace. From here to the palace, it will take two hours to speed up the whip, and with their current appearance, it is really not suitable to face the saint.
"There's a grass hut on the other side of the lake, it's relatively hidden, let's go there and take shelter first."
"The princess is so familiar with this place, she must come here often to hunt."
Xiao Bao'er didn't bother to pay attention to Yao Xitong's clichΓ©s, and silently led him to the grass hut. I saw that there are doors and windows, tables and chairs, and a lot of fishing tackle stacked in the corners.
Before noon, the magpie returned. Seeing that he was carrying an injured man, Xiao Baoer and Yao Xitong were both shocked, and the two hurriedly helped the injured man to the grass hut, and deduced from the clothes similar to the injured man's magpie that this person should be a crow.
Yao Xitong hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
The magpie said: "Don't hide it from the son, the guard who pushed the son into the lake before is indeed the close attendant of the Son of Heaven." The matter is very serious, and after I have consulted with the crow, he will enter the palace and report the situation to the Empress Dowager, and I will be responsible for protecting the princess. β
ββ¦β¦ Seeing that the two were unharmed, the subordinates returned to the palace to join the crows, but when they arrived at the agreed place, they only saw the distress signal he left...... The subordinates followed the signal to the outside of the palace, but there was no one to be killed, only to see the crow lying in a lane covered in blood. β
Xiao Baoer took the initiative to bandage the crow's wounds, and when she heard what the magpie said, she remembered something in hindsight.
On this day in the dream, Xuan Ze rescued her from the lake and asked the Son of Heaven to marry on the grounds of damaging her reputation, and the Son of Heaven agreed. Overjoyed, she didn't think about why the Son of Heaven made the opposite decision to the Empress Dowager. When she returned to the palace, she learned from the palace that the Empress Dowager had a sudden illness, and all political affairs were handled by the Son of Heaven. After that, Xiao Huiting confessed that she had poisoned the Empress Dowager in order to marry Xuan Ze......
Oh, my God! How can something so important be forgotten?
She shook the unconscious crow and asked urgently, "Why are you being hunted down?" Did the Empress Dowager have an accident? After she asked, Yao Xitong also tasted a little strange.
The crow and magpie are the people of the Empress Dowager, and the Great Xia Palace has been controlled by this iron-fisted Empress Dowager for nearly twenty years. If nothing happens to her, who would dare to touch her people?
"Magpie, how many of the Empress Dowager's secret guards are there? Who arranged for you to protect the princess in secret? β
Yao Xitong's question should have been secret, and the magpie thought for a while before saying, "There are a total of eight secret guards around the Empress Dowager, and there are only four personal protectors, except for me and the crow, the remaining two are the tanuki and the dog. The princess's safety was supposed to be the responsibility of the other four secret guards, but ......"
The magpie suddenly stopped, if something happened to the Empress Dowager, he and the crow would fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the person who arranged for them to protect Xiao Bao'er could hardly be said to be the murderer of the Empress Dowager.
In order to confirm what she saw in her dream, Xiao Bao'er asked sharply: "Xiao Huiting asked you to come, right?" β
Princess Wan Ting? Yao Xitong didn't quite believe this answer. Princess Wan Ting is the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager, what reason does she have to assassinate the Empress Dowager? Unless...... Yao Xitong was taken aback by her own conjecture, could it be that she teamed up with Qingshanjun? This is the confidence of Qingshan Jun to dare to marry the princess of Beiliao?
"Princess, my subordinates are anxious about the safety of the crows, and they don't know much about the situation of the Queen Mother. This matter can only be done when the crow wakes up. β
Xiao Bao'er looked at the grass shed in frustration, and a thick fate enveloped her whole body. Is it true that everything foreseen in the dream cannot be changed? Choosing to marry Yao Xitong is just a futile struggle?
Yao Xitong was also silent, and he had previously taken advantage of Xiao Bao'er's power to ask about the secrets in the palace. From the magpie's answer, it can be heard that everything that should be said has been said, and the rest of the questions will not be answered. What about the Queen Mother? Whether the crow's injury is related to the Empress Dowager or not, everything can only be known when the crow wakes up.
Assuming that something happens to the Empress Dowager, the young Son of Heaven will not be able to control the princes of the Quartet at all. As long as one of them has a different heart, the world will soon fall into a chaotic situation of princes competing for hegemony. When things developed like that, Xiao Baoer became a sweetheart. There are soldiers in Northern Liao, and it is an alliance that all vassal states want to woo...... Thinking of Qingshanjun's plan to marry a wife, Yao Xitong consciously miscalculated, and the previous remarks about letting Xiao Baoer return to the palace for self-cultivation happened to fulfill Qingshanjun.
The chaotic thoughts made the awake few people speechless for a while, and only the unconscious crow was left in the grass hut and gasped for breath from the injury.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard in the distance, which frightened the magpies guarding outside the hut. The Son of Heaven assassinated Yao Xitong, a large number of assassins chased and killed the princess of Northern Liao, and the crow who returned to the palace first was injured and unconscious, what is this palace change? He is the Empress Dowager, when the situation is unclear, how to choose?
"Princess, someone is coming, what should I do?"
The three of them looked at the crow together, this man was still unconscious, and only he knew what was happening in the palace. Contacting what happened before, they didn't dare to let the Son of Heaven know that the crow was still alive.
Xiao Bao'er asked Yao Xitong sideways, "What do you say?" β
"What does the princess think?"
"I know what I want to ask you? Isn't it all about reading people? β
Xiao Bao'er's uprightness made Yao Xitong a little difficult to accept, and she understood why the palace people called her a barbarian. In a country of etiquette, talking to a bunch of euphemistic aristocrats, her character is really unlikeable.
"Magpie, you go and wait outside the door, people will stop you."
"That's what you came up with? If the person who comes is the Son of Heaven, the magpie can't stop it at all. β
Yao Xitong smiled at Xiao Bao'er, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were as charming as a crescent moon, "Don't worry, princess, Xitong naturally has a way to make people unable to see the crows." As he spoke, he reached out to help Xiao Bao'er pin a strand of hair behind her ear, "Princess, please take off your coat and cover the crow, Xitong wants to see what color of the princess is wearing." β
Xiao Baoer is a virgin without personnel, is Yao Xitong's so-called underwear exactly a woman's underwear? She stared at Yao Xitong in shock, and then wanted to scold people angrily, but when she looked at Yao Xitong's serious eyes and beautiful face, not only did she not have any evil fire, but her face was as red as the morning sun.
Yao Xitong was very confident in his face, and he urged: "Hurry up, princess, time waits for no one!" β
The children of the grassland, with an open-minded temperament, since Yao Xitong said that there is a way, take it off! Xiao Bao'er thought so in her heart, but the hand that unbuttoned her clothes was grinding. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, the comers soon clashed with the magpies.
A familiar voice hit her so suddenly, only to see her stop her movements and ask blankly, "Why did Xuan Ze come?" Yao Xitong saw that she had lost her mind, so he helped her take off her coat to cover the crow, and took her in his arms.
"Ahh The man's warm body startled Xiao Bao'er, and before she could break free, Xuan Ze had already pushed the magpie and broke in.
It's good now, Yao Xitong doesn't need to move, Xiao Bao'er is like a little daughter-in-law who has been caught stealing~ love tightly hidden in his arms.
The crow hidden on the bed was completely covered by Xiao Bao'er's coat, and the most obvious thing in the room was Yao Xitong hugging Xiao Bao'er. This situation was completely unexpected by Xuan Ze, and he took a quick look at it and took the guards to avoid it.
The plan was successful, Yao Xitong pushed Xiao Bao'er away, and said easily, "Princess, it's abrupt." β
Outside the grass shed, things are just as Xiao Bao'er is worried about, magpies can stop many people, but they can't stop the Son of Heaven. I saw the Son of Heaven standing in the center, and Xuan Ze was on the side.
The little emperor obviously knew about the "intimate scene" staged in the grass shed, and he was having a headache about what to do with Xiao Bao'er! The Great Xia Rite Sect can't restrain this princess, but it can punish the unruly Yao Xitong, considering that the two have a marriage contract, the little emperor asked Yao Xitong to kneel by the lake and recite the words of the sage a hundred times.
Everyone left, leaving only the steamy mirror lake, just like Xiao Baoer's eyes at this time. She likes Xuan Ze, and she knows that she must have misunderstood today's events, how to explain it? Is it true that they can only be strangers to each other? The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and her tears dripped down the dirt like beads with broken threads.
Yao Xitong, who was reciting the words of the sage, couldn't help but say, "Princess, can Xitong know why you are crying?" β
Yao Xitong didn't open her mouth, but this sound made Xiao Baoer find an outlet for catharsis, and she bent down and punched Yao Xitong.
"You ......" Yao Xitong covered his stomach and couldn't speak, Xiao Bao'er's punch really hurt.
"You said that we are not husband and wife, you say that my life is noble, just because my temperament is bad and bad luck, and you also said that as long as I cultivate my self-cultivation, I can marry the person I like. These are all you say, right? β
Yao Xitong nodded, these words were indeed what he said. Seeing him nodding, Xiao Bao'er continued: "Shicai, you did not hesitate to sacrifice my name in order to protect the crows. If a woman has no honor, how can she marry the person she loves? β
"Princess, this is the only way to save the crow in that situation. Besides, Xitong is the husband you chose in front of the world. β
"So what? Is it my husband who can ruin my name? β
"Shouldn't we be talking about how to protect crows?"
"Yes, but as a smart fortune teller, you can only think of the method just now?"
Yao Xitong didn't bother to argue, and asked rhetorically: "Qingshan-kun is the princess's favorite?" β
Xiao Bao'er answered his question with her fist, and also made him understand that the unruly princess in the palace was indeed worthy of her name.
