Chapter 184: Justified
The reason why Xiao Man asked Xiao Ze to lead the troops out was actually to hold the military power in his hands and leave a way out for himself when the time came, which means that Xiao Man knew that his affairs had been exposed a long time ago, and he had long expected that there would be such a day.
Originally, Xiao Man wanted Xiao Ze to lead troops to rebel, but he was dissuaded by Xiao Wanyao, and asked Xiao Ze and Mingyu to unite to surround the capital, and threatened Tang Siqi to let the Xiao family go.
Xiao Wanyao knew that if Xiao Ze alone had enough troops in his hands to threaten Tang Siqi, it was the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, allowing others to take the lead. She knew that Xue Tianao was recalled to the capital and dismissed from his position, but he must still have an army in his hands, because Xue Tianao was planning rebellion all the time.
But Xue Tianao will not send troops, and if he does, it will inevitably make Tang Siqi find out that he is privately recruiting troops.
The rest is the army of the State of Chu, they are stationed in several states and counties away from the capital, and they have sent envoys to want peace talks, for Tang Siqi, the State of Chu took the initiative to ask for peace talks, which is a good thing, but the condition must be expelled from the State of Chu, and their condition is to ask Xiao Wanyao.
In fact, Xiao Wanyao already knew the conditions for peace talks when the envoys of Chu came to Wei, so she took this opportunity to send troops to blackmail Tang Siqi, and all the qiē was just a play for her.
It's just that she wants to give up these places in Jiangbei to Xue Tianao, because he and Tang Siqi still have their own grievances, and these things must be done by him himself. After thinking about it, Xiao Wanyao closed her eyes gently, this is a risky move, in fact, if Tang Siqi thinks about it carefully, he can control the overall situation.
Xiao Wanyao has done a lot of tricks and tricks, deceived many people, and accused many people. Just to buy a little more time for himself and his family, if Xiao Ze and Mingyu are allowed to attack the capital directly at this time, they will only lose both, and the chances of victory are not as great as Zhenling thought.
The corners of her mouth once again hooked up a faint smile, as long as she left the capital, it would be her victory. It's still very effective.
Xiao Wanyao was taken to the military camp of the Chu State, she thought that Guo Ping would be there, or would meet Lei Luo, but there was no one, the envoy just sent her to a camp tent, leaving a waiting maid and left.
Before leaving, he said to Xiao Wanyao, "I will rush to Chu early tomorrow morning, and there will be envoys from the Wei State at that time, as well as Miss Xiao's dowry." Xiao Wanyao nodded, although she threatened Tang Siqi, she also saved Tang Siqi, but she used herself to save her family.
Tang Siqi must also know in his heart that only in this way can he keep his position and not end up in the net. Xiao Wanyao sat in the tent and sighed slightly, he wanted to 'marry' himself 'justifiably', although he didn't kill Xiao Man, at least eradicate him from the court.
It's just that he took a wrong step, and Xiao Ze and Mingyu's army dominated Jiangnan and became a rebel. The rest is waiting for Xue Tianao to deal with his personal grievances.
After Xiao Wanyao sat for a while, she felt a little tired, so she let the maid go out, lay down with her clothes, and the rest as long as she knew that her family had arrived at Mingyu, there would be nothing to do, and when the time came to get rid of Tang Siqi's control, she didn't have to think about what he threatened herself with if she did anything.
Thinking of this, her heart relaxed, closed her eyes, she was indeed a little tired these days, and even the scars on the corners of her mouth that were beaten by Tang Siqi were still there, and there was a little tearing pain, Tang Siqi will never have anything to do with you in my fate from now on, and your fate is doomed to fail miserably, I will wait for that day to see how wolf you are.
Xiao Wanyao was really tired, and soon fell asleep, in her dream she felt that someone gently hugged her, with a trace of cold in the night, through the clothes felt that the person's body slowly approached her, first there was a trace of coolness, and then gradually warmed, her body slowly fell into his arms, and even smelled the familiar ask, "Qinghe ......" She called out his name in a low voice, her voice was very soft, her consciousness was blurred, and a chuckle came from her ears.
The voice was so real, she suddenly opened her eyes, and subconsciously moved her body to find that she was really trapped in someone's arms, "Who are you?" His figure blocked the faint light on the table, and she couldn't see him clearly when she opened her eyes suddenly.
However, the familiar smell, the familiar breath, in the next second, made it clear to her who was coming, "Xue Tianao, why are you here?" ”
Xue Tianao still didn't let her go, but lowered his head and kissed her, "I'll come to see you." See how much you want to be the crown princess of the Chu State. ”
Xiao Wanyao struggled for a while, but was pressed harder by him, when she pressed harder, the thing next to the bed was kicked to the ground, and the maid outside seemed to wake up and walked towards this side, Xiao Wanyao immediately pushed him away and knocked the lamp on the table to the ground, "I'm fine, I wanted to drink some water and accidentally turned off the lamp." ”
The maid stood at the door, it was pitch black inside, "Miss Xiao, wait a minute, I'll change a lamp for you." Xiao Wanyao stopped her, "No need, I accidentally fell asleep just now, and now I'm about to go to sleep, you can go to bed early, you don't have to come over again." ”
Just as Xiao Wanyao was talking to the maid, a pair of powerful arms in the dark wrapped her around her from behind, and her lips were pressed against her neck, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but gasp.
The maid who was just about to leave heard her voice, and couldn't help but stop again and asked strangely, "Miss Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable? The maid was coming back, "No, go out, I'm fine here." The maid was stunned, and then turned away without further questioning.
As soon as the maid left, Xiao Wanyao turned around suddenly, lowered her voice and roared, "Xue Tianao, do you know where this is?" If you let people out there find you, you're dead. ”
He didn't let go of her, chuckling, the hot breath from his mouth hitting her face, although she couldn't see anything clearly, but she knew that he was close at hand, "So, you're worried about my safety." ”
Xiao Wanyao bit her lower lip, "Hurry up and get out of here, Guo Ping may come over when he comes, don't forget that you still have revenge to avenge, let me go, let me go?" ”
Xue Tianao stopped her waist, didn't let her leave him, and pressed her himself, "You beg me, and I will do what you say." Otherwise, let the people outside know that I am here, and let them see something that they shouldn't see, you, the crown princess of the Chu Kingdom, will definitely not be able to do well. ”
She felt him approaching, lowered his head and kissed her eyelashes gently, his hands groped into her shirt, when he touched her skin, she couldn't help but gasp, her body felt a tingling sensation, his hands were cold, she had goosebumps all over her body.
Sensing her body's reaction, his hand stopped, pulled out of her clothes, untied the clothes in front of her chest, brought her close to him, lowered his head and kissed her hands fiercely, her struggle was to no avail, she tried to control herself not to make a sound, her lips were a little painful from his kiss, but he had no intention of stopping, forcing her to tilt her head to meet his kiss, his tongue constantly demanding in her mouth.
And she clutched the shirt on his chest with both hands, and only in the occasional gap did she utter a few words, "Tianao, no, don't do this...... He, he ...... Woo......"
Xue Tianao was finally willing to let her go, and both of them gasped slightly, "Don't worry, he doesn't have time to see you yet, and now he is receiving the envoys of the Wei State." ”
He held her face, "Do you want to be the crown princess so much?" One day he becomes the emperor, and you are the queen of the Chu State, so you don't take me or even Tang Siqi in your eyes? Xiao Wanyao, I really underestimate you, how many things are behind you that I don't know? How many surprises do you have waiting for me? ”
"I told you, Xiao Wanyao is no longer the Xiao Wanyao she used to be, she is not worthy of your dedication and love, let me go! Let yourself go too, okay? Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but shed tears with pleading.
However, he didn't mean to let go, but hugged her tighter, "One day I will make you regret your decision today and your contempt." He picked her up, and before she could react, he had already pressed her under him, and at this time he seemed to be crazy, and he no longer had any pity for her, he tore off her clothes, entered her body without mercy, and hit her body hard again and again.
I don't know how many times I struggled that night, but I never escaped from him. He didn't let her go until she was exhausted at the end. She still vividly remembered his heavy gasps, and remembered the whispers he whispered in his ear as he left, saying much, many ...... 'I'll be back!' ’
She opened her eyes suddenly, gasping for air, the voice still echoing in her ears, he would come back. She suddenly looked to her side, there was only herself on the bed, and she looked around, as usual. It was as if no one had ever entered here, and as if what had happened last night was really just a dream.
The waiting maid walked in with a copper basin, "Miss Xiao, are you awake?" Slaves and maidservants are waiting for you to freshen up. Saying that, she walked in front of Xiao Wanyao, her face was a little pale, and the maid looked at her sweating profusely and asked worriedly, "Miss Xiao, are you okay?" Why do you sweat so much? The maid hurriedly brought a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, Xiao Wanyao's love slowly stabilized, and the maid turned pale and asked, "Do you want the slave to invite the doctor over?" ”
Xiao Wanyao glanced at her and shook her head, "No need, I'm fine, it's just a nightmare." The maid nodded, "Slave and maid wait for you to get up." After that, he helped Xiao Wanyao get dressed, and after washing, let her sit in front of the bronze mirror and dress up.
After that, five or six maids came in, Xiao Wanyao looked at them, several people stood there side by side, with a tray in their hands, two trays were filled with gorgeous clothes, and the others were gold and silver jewelry.
She just glanced at it coldly, then turned her head, and the maid who was waiting for her to dress up replied, "These are all prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the slaves and maids, saying that he will take Miss Xiao back to Chu Country today, so she must dress up." ”
The maid looked at Xiao Wanyao in the mirror while grooming, "Miss Xiao, I have long heard that you are outstanding, and it seems that you are simply a country and a city, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes you so much." ”
Xiao Wanyao just looked at herself in the mirror, reached out and touched the scars on the corner of her mouth, it was still there, but her face was no longer swollen before, although she woke up in the morning, but she knew that he really came last night, she could treat last night as a dream, but her body couldn't deceive herself.
Chapter 185: Be My Woman
Just as she was contemplating things, a maid's voice came from outside, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." "Get up, is she up?" "Get up, Sister Ping'er is grooming Miss Xiao." After that, the room was bright and dark, and she knew that he was coming, and the maid who was dressing up and the others hurriedly saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Guo Ping didn't look at them, and his eyes stayed on her as soon as he came in. He walked over with a smile, "Do you like all these things?" I asked someone to pick it out for you. ”
Xiao Wanyao was still sitting there, her expression was cold, and she glanced at him through the bronze mirror, "The prince personally went out to fight with the army, and even brought these things, it seems that the prince knew that he would use them early on." ”
Guo Ping smiled, "I really can't hide it from you, I brought these out before the Chu State sent troops, these are all things in the palace, I hope you like it." ”
Xiao Wanyao slowly stood up and faced him face to face, "To be honest, I don't like these too much, but if I need to dress up, I don't mind wearing them." "When I see Guo Ping again, he is still the same as before, but he looks more energetic, but he is also the real biggest winner now.
Guo Ping paused, "Since you don't like it, you don't have to be reluctant, I also think these vulgar things are not worthy of you." Take it down. Guo Ping ordered his subordinates, but was stopped by Xiao Wanyao.
"Since I am married to you, I must represent the identity of the crown princess of Chu State, even if I don't care about myself, I have to take care of the face of the royal family of Chu State, not to mention that this is the condition reached between us, it is not a difficult thing."
Guo Ping smiled, "I didn't expect you to know the general situation so well." Xiao Wanyao also laughed, "It may not be a little early for the prince to say this, it is better to really understand Wan Yao and then make a conclusion, lest Wan Yao enter the Chu State in the future, and the general situation of the Chu State will be disappointed by the prince." ”
Just when Xiao Wanyao pursed her lips and smiled, Guo Ping noticed the wound on her mouth, reached out and stroked it gently, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help lowering her head and avoiding his hand, but she clearly felt the temperature on his hand, his hand was very warm, Xue Tianao's hand was always as cold as himself, but the temperature on his body was always hot.
Guo Ping's face sank, "How could you get hurt?" Xiao Wanyao's expression was indifferent, "It's nothing, it's just careless." She turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Everyone else went down." With a solemn expression, he pulled her hand in front of him, forcing her to look at him, after all the people left, Guo Ping lowered his voice, Xiao Wanyao always felt that Guo Ping was the kind of gentle and elegant scribe, and it was only a little inappropriate to come to the battlefield to command the battle, and his figure looked relatively thin.
However, when he grabbed her wrist, he found that the strength in his hand was not weak at all, "You are now my crown princess, all your qiē belong to me, your injury is equal to my injury, tell me what's going on at the corner of my mouth?" Xiao Wanyao looked at him, immediately laughed, and slowly withdrew her hand.
The other hand hid his face and smiled, and when he looked up again, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Originally, I thought that my fate was not up to me, but I didn't expect that even this body was not my own. Then I asked His Royal Highness the Prince, can you see the torn wound on the corner of my mouth and guess that I was beaten by someone, so can you really feel my pain in the same way? ”
Guo Ping looked at her with confusion in his eyes, "You said this body is yours?" So what I'm thinking in my heart, what's going on in my head, do you know it? She slowly took a few steps back, sat down in front of the dressing mirror, and still smiled mockingly, like a person who had completely seen through the world, with a smile that mocked the world, and even laughed at herself, but Guo Ping saw sadness behind such a smile, heart-rending sadness.
She's sad, she's feeling sorry for someone.
He just looked at her there, not saying a word, until she calmed down and looked up at him slowly, he showed a faint smile, "I can't feel your pain, but I know you're for someone, if you weren't too affectionate, you wouldn't show such an expression." ”
Xiao Wanyao pursed her lips and smiled very indifferently, she likes to laugh more and more now, and laughed at all the qiē, "Wrong, Xiao Wanyao has no heart, how can a person without a heart be distressed?" How can a person who has no heart feel pain? Heh......"
At this moment, the guards outside the door replied, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the hour is almost up." Guo Ping's eyes swept out, "Set off immediately." "Yes." Guo Ping turned his gaze to Xiao Wanyao again, "If you don't like those clothes and jewelry, you don't have to wear them, I don't want to marry a puppet and go back" He approached her, "I want you to be my woman, not just a beautiful woman, no matter how beautiful the prince has seen it." You're not the best of them all. ”
After saying that, he got up and said in a gentle tone, "I'll wait for you in the carriage outside." Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned, thinking about what he just said, put away the smile on her face, and turned her head to look at herself in the bronze mirror, her face was expressionless, her eyes were deep, that was the real her, but she was a little interested in what he just said.
After cleaning up, Xiao Wanyao came to Guo Ping's carriage, the carriage was very spacious, and there should have been a special maid in it, but at the moment there were only two people, Xiao Wanyao and Guo Ping.
When Xiao Wanyao appeared in front of Guo Ping in men's clothes, Guo Ping was stunned, Xiao Wanyao pouted, "You said that I can wear it according to my favorite outfit." I was allowed to do so. With that, he sat down on one side.
Guo Ping just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
He didn't touch her, she sat on one side, and in the middle of the carriage was a small square table with some snacks and some things to drink, and the cups for drinking were placed in wooden barrels fixed to the table, so that the teacups would not be overturned, and the water in the lid would not spill out.
Xiao Wanyao sat bored, it was the first time she had seen such a thing, and she couldn't help but become interested in it. She glanced at Guo Ping next to her, he closed his eyes, she looked away from him, approached the small ornaments on the table, all of them were extremely exquisite, from which it can be seen that Guo Ping is a very good and elegant person.
For these things, Xiao Wanyao prefers silver needles, medical books and herbs, so she really doesn't know much about some things in life, and after reading them for a while, she lost interest and couldn't help but pout.
The carriage shook violently, Xiao Wanyao sat up straight, and her hands couldn't help but want to help the things on the table, but she found that those things were motionless at all, more stable than herself, so she breathed a long sigh of relief, but she really thought it was a good thing, and then laughed again.
Guo Ping on the side had already opened his eyes, watching her every move, watching her staring at those little things curiously like a child, with a pointed nose, ruddy cheeks, and a small mouth that pouted unconsciously, the playful appearance was extremely cute, especially when she was worried that those cups would fall down, and when she was sure that they were okay, she breathed a long sigh of relief, all of them were in full view, and in the end, she patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, which completely amused him.
Xiao Wanyao heard the laughter, her body looked at him in a daze, and she bent down when she saw him laughing, knowing that he was laughing at what he had just done, her eyes couldn't help but sink, and she clasped her hands on her chest, "Do you think I'm just like someone who hasn't seen the world?" ”
Guo Ping hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I just think you look very ...... just now" He wanted to say cute but said it was funny.
Xiao Wanyao picked the corner of her mouth, "It doesn't matter if you really laugh at me, to be honest, I really haven't seen this kind of thing, and I don't know anything valuable." Guo Ping tilted his head, "I know, you are only interested in herbs." ”
Xiao Wanyao turned her head to look at him, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, Guo Ping also showed a faint smile, she retracted her gaze, her expression was peaceful, "Actually, we are more suitable to be friends." The smile on Guo Ping's face froze, and his eyes fixed on her, "As you said, you can't empathize with my heart." ”
Xiao Wanyao didn't look at him and lowered her head slightly, and the two fell into silence and stopped talking.
About ten days later, Guo Ping returned to Chu with Xiao Wanyao, and the envoys of Wei arrived there with him, and the emperor of Chu also knew the news and promised to hold a wedding.
On the day of her wedding, she wore the most gorgeous dress she had ever worn in her life, red and dazzling, her eyes were as clear and translucent as water, her eyebrows were slender, the corners of her eyebrows were slightly raised, she was still gorgeous without powder, her skin was fair, her eyes were low and gentle like water. The phoenix crown has a thousand demeanors.
After the red tape, she sat quietly in the well-decorated cave room with her head on her head, Guo Ping did not live in the palace, but had her own mansion outside-Chaoyang Mansion.
Guo Ping walked into the cave room with a little drunkenness, and all the other people were separated by him, he just wanted to be alone with her, she listened to his footsteps approaching step by step, and his hijab was gently lifted by him, she lowered her head slightly and stared at the ground in front of her, without looking at him.
It was quiet for too long, and she couldn't help but look up at him curiously, but seeing his gentle face, she smiled faintly at her, "I take back what I said before." She paused, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." He lowered his head and kissed her, and she didn't dodge it, for she was now his.
"You smell so good." His voice was as gentle as the moonlight outside, and every part of him was scorching, every touch seemed to burn her, and every inch of contact was as painful as a burn.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, and she thought only of one person, who was as beautiful as her, as arrogant as her, and as gentle as him almost melted her. However, it is not him at this moment.
The next day, after getting up, the room was full of servant maids, Guo Ping was no longer here, naturally there were special maidservants to check last night's Luohong, Xiao Wanyao was a doctor, this little thing was a piece of cake for her.
Seeing the red-colored maidservant nodding at the elderly aunt on the side, the two of them pursed their lips and smiled, walked to the dresser and blessed Xiao Wanyao, who was grooming, "See the crown princess." Xiao Wanyao glanced at the two of them, "What about the prince?" The older maidservant said, "Back to the crown princess, the prince seems to be discussing things with the envoys from Wei in the front hall. ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded, and sat up straight again to stare at herself in the bronze mirror, "I have two former personal maids, I didn't bring them with me in a hurry when I came, I will come here after a while, I have already told the prince, they are also new here, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, please bear with me." ”R1154
