Xiao Wanyao's clothes were messy, her long hair was scattered over her shoulders, her entire back was almost covered by her long hair, and her waist-length hair was particularly feminine, but Xue Tianao was not in the mood to appreciate these now.

Her face was black, and she had just escaped from death. Think about it when you came to the Tingyue Pavilion to save a palace maid but ignored him, anyone will feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Wanyao kept walking in front and was silent, completely unaware that Xue Tianao, who was following behind, was not wearing shoes at all at the moment, and the clothes on his body were also very thin.

"Hearing that the Moon Pavilion has been burned, you go back with me and stay in my dormitory for a while. More on that tomorrow. Xue Tianao said.

Xiao Wanyao didn't listen to him and walked straight forward. I was angry in my heart, "I don't want to go to your dormitory, my little doctor girl living in Tingyue Pavilion is enough to make your concubines a thorn in the side, and you have no name to go to the dormitory." ”

"So where are you going? Do you have any other places to stay besides Tingyue Hall? Xue Tianao asked, although he and Xiao Wanyao have known each other for many years, there are rarely such awkward times.

It turned out that she also had times when she was coquettish and angry, and Xue Tianao was not only worried that she would be angry, but she felt that this was also a little cute.

Hearing Xue Tianao's words, Xiao Wanyao suddenly stopped, yes, where else can she go? I suddenly felt a sense of grievance in my heart, and my nose was sour and I almost cried again. She finally straightened her back and continued walking, not knowing where to go, but at least she couldn't stand here stupidly.

Xue Tianao was still following her, and she didn't go far, when she suddenly heard Xue Tianao behind her, and then heard the sound of falling to the ground, Xiao Wanyao looked back in a daze, and saw Xue Tianao sitting on the ground, grabbing her feet with her hands.

She rushed to him all at once, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Seeing him barefoot, he was even more unhappy, "Are you stupid?" How do you come out without shoes? Let me see, is it a foot injury? ”

Xue Tianao looked up at him, a faint smile appeared on his face, "In this harem, only you dare to say that, I am not stupid enough to go out without shoes, I just stupidly heard that the Moon Pavilion was on fire and rushed over without even having time to put on shoes." ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at Xue Tianao's feet, which were put on by the stones on the ground, but there was no big problem, so she let go of him and sat on the ground with him, her head lowered and her aggrieved mouth pouted slightly.

He brushed the long hair from her ears and found her tears, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe his feelings, and suddenly hugged her into his arms. She willfully snuggled in his arms and cried uncontrollably.

How many times has she been haunted by dreams, how she wishes that when she is vulnerable and helpless, when she wants to cry, she can have his shoulder to rely on. It's just at this moment that she knows more clearly what she wants, it turns out that her whole life is just such a simple reliance, as long as this support is given by him.

"Tianao, I know that I have become very indifferent and ruthless, but I didn't mean that at the time, I just blurted out nervously for a while, and what I said was against my will, I didn't despise the life of that palace maid, really!" She hid in his arms and said aggrievedly.

Xue Tianao gently stroked her back, "I know, I know that you are not that kind of person. I also said something in a daze, don't take it to heart. ”

When Fei Mo returned to Taihe Palace, the fire in the Tingyue Pavilion had not yet been extinguished, but it was already much smaller. But he searched around but didn't find Xue Tianao, nor did he find Xiao Wanyao. Worried, he led people to look around, and when he found the two of them, he saw them sitting in the corner of the palace avenue, leaning against the wall, sitting cross-legged.

From time to time, there was a burst of crisp laughter from Xiao Wanyao, as well as Xue Tian's thick voice. These two people actually hid here to talk, and they didn't know that it was cold.

Fei Mo walked up and disturbed the conversation between the two, Xiao Wanyao felt a little sorry, and then stood up. When Xue Tianao got up, he stood barefoot, Fei Mo stepped forward and was stunned, and hurriedly ordered the person behind him to carry the sedan chair.

Not long after, Xue Tianao and Xiao Wanyao returned to the dormitory of Taihe Palace together.

She stayed there that night, and after a night of warmth, Xiao Wanyao was exhausted, lazily in the brocade quilt, covering her head with a quilt.

Seeing this, Xue Tianao smiled and ripped off the quilt on her head, "Why are you covering it like this?" Aren't you afraid of suffocating you? ”

Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, and once again covered the gorgeous brocade quilt on her head, and the moment she covered it, she took a deep breath, hid in the quilt and said sullenly, "I want to smell your smell on the quilt." You'll remember it forever. ”

Xue Tianao's eyes sank for a moment, with a hint of pity, and he ripped off the quilt on her head again, "I won't let you leave my side again, you don't need to smell my quilt, as long as you are willing to come to me at any time." ”

Xiao Wanyao showed a pair of big eyes, blinked, and looked at his extremely handsome face, this is the man she has been infatuated with all her life, she covered her head again, rarely said her true words in front of Xue Tianao, and never showed her true feelings in front of anyone, but now she was a little embarrassed to say it to him all of a sudden.

Her cheeks were crimson and hot, "Then ......" her sullen voice came from the quilt again, "What if you go to find other women, and I miss you at that time?" You are the emperor, and I know that you have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders, and it is also necessary to pass on the lineage. It's impossible to be by my side day and night. So ......"

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until he was almost inaudible and ripped the quilt off her body. Probably because the force was too great, her entire upper body was exposed, Xiao Wanyao pulled the quilt hard like a frightened rabbit, but was pulled away by Xue Tianao domineeringly.

simply threw the obstructive brocade quilt on her body under the bed at once. He went down directly and imprisoned her in his arms, "It turns out that you are angry for this reason, just now you said that I only care about other women, are you eating my vinegar?" ”

Xiao Wanyao bit her lip, feeling very shameless, reborn once, her heart was all given to this man, although she never mentioned it in front of him, but day and night her heart never left him. Nor has anyone ever taken half a point.

Seeing that Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, Xue Tianao's eyes sank, "When you left me a letter like that, it disappeared without a trace, and you still said that you forgot about it in the rivers and lakes, just to leave me completely." At that time, you asked me if I would like to leave with you, but I hesitated and did not answer. But at the moment......"

Xiao Wanyao gagged him with her hand, "I know your heart, I don't want you to give me any promises." That's not what I want. She pursed her lips, avoided his gaze and turned to lie on the bed, a wicked smile on her face, "I've already figured out what to do." So you don't have to bother. ”

Xue Tianao, you will be mine sooner or later, and I am not the only woman in your harem. But I'm the only man in my harem, just wait and see.

Looking at Xiao Wanyao's cute appearance, although Xue Tianao didn't know what she was thinking, he didn't ask more. He lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the back, this time out of control, and then kissed her back inch by inch along her butterfly bone. She couldn't help but giggle.

Xue Tianao picked her up, let her rest in his arms, and hugged her with one hand, "Wan Yaozhen has one thing I have always wanted to discuss with you. ”

Xiao Wanyao sniffed his smell and was lazy in his arms, "Say, what's the matter." ”

"Gangnam ......"

Hearing the word Jiangnan, Xiao Wanyao's nerves immediately cooled. The ambiguous smile on his face also disappeared indifferently, he didn't expect him to suddenly talk about this matter, "What about Jiangnan?" ”

"There have always been ministers in the DPRK who want me to recover Jiangnan, but I know that Jiangnan is occupied by you. It's all your soldiers. Xue Tianao said.

Xiao Wanyao leaned into his arms, her face sank, "You want me to return Jiangnan to you?" ”

"That was originally the land of Wei, and now that you are in my palace, why can't you return it to me? No matter what kind of misunderstanding there was in the past, now that we are together, why should we let the Wei State be divided like this? Xue Tianao said softly. But he had clearly felt that Xiao Wanyao had cooled down.

Even his skin pressed against her felt a little colder.

Xiao Wanyao didn't speak for a long time, Xue Tianao looked down, but saw her lying in her arms with her eyes closed. He sighed lightly and lay down again, his brows couldn't help frowning, he knew that Xiao Wanyao was pretending to be asleep to avoid his own problems, so he said to himself, "I know that you want Jiangnan to have a place of your own, you are afraid that I will lose you, but why don't you believe me?" I'd rather fail the world, and I will never fail you. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Wanyao again, and saw that she was still lying there motionless, as if she was really asleep. Then nothing was said. That night, the two of them lay on the same bed, each thinking about their own thoughts, and Xiao Wanyao was almost sleepless all night.

Jiangnan, she will never let go.

On the second day, when Xue Tianao woke up, Xiao Wanyao had already left. He touched the place where she had slept, and the sheets were already cold, indicating that she had left early. Xue Tianao got dressed under the service of the palace maid, and went directly to the morning court without breakfast.

He didn't sleep well last night, his face was tired, and he always looked preoccupied.

In the early dynasty, there were two main things to discuss, one was that Yan disturbed the border of Wei, and the other was to recover Jiangnan.

"The border of Yan sent General Fang to lead 200,000 elite soldiers, and sowed grain, grass and military pay to quell the chaos. As for the matter of Jiangnan, we will discuss it later. Xue Tianao said simply, he had already arranged the affairs of Yan Kingdom.

Seeing that those ministers were going to talk about Jiangnan affairs again, Xue Tianao raised his hand for a while, "If it's okay, step down." Then he looked impatient.

Those ministers who wanted to open their mouths saw that Xue Tianao was so unwilling to talk about Jiangnan, so they just stopped.

After retiring from the dynasty, Xue Tianao came to the imperial study and felt depressed, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Wanyao didn't return Jiangnan? Does he really want him to lead the troops to go out in person, and she is willing to come back?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little angry, because I couldn't guess what Xiao Wanyao was thinking in her heart.

He was angry here, and Xiao Wanyao was not having a good time there, because she had been in a heavy mood because of the mention of Jiangnan yesterday. It was her territory, and even Xue Tianao didn't think about returning it to him. Remembering the night of the fire, the Tingyue Pavilion burned down, and she didn't even have a place to sleep.

This is not his own place after all, even if Xue Tianao swears to the sky and gives himself countless oaths, but once his heart changes, what is the use of those oaths? At least when she has nowhere to go here, she can go back to Jiangnan, where there are still her people, and her family, which is where she belongs. So she didn't want to let go.

Doctor Le knew about last night's fire, but when he saw Xiao Wanyao come to the imperial pharmacy early in the morning, he was still wondering.

Chapter 332: Doubt

"I heard yesterday that there was a fire in the Tingyue Pavilion?"

"Hmm!"

"I heard that the emperor also went to put out the fire?"

"Hmm!"

"I heard that the emperor personally saved a palace maid?"

"Hmm!"

"What a good emperor, it is the blessing of our Great Wei State, and presumably the revitalization of Wei State in the future will depend on the emperor." Doctor Le sighed, but his eyes were on Xiao Wanyao, who was sitting chilling.

At this time, she finally reacted a little, and glanced back at Doctor Le, "Master Le, you asked so much just to praise the emperor?" You just say no, why ask me so much nonsense, and then say it......" She straightened up and said unconvinced, "Hearing that the Moon Pavilion was burned, I am the most injured person, why don't you care about me?" ”

Doctor Le smiled, and saw that she had recovered and turned around to continue to do her own thing, "Huh...... If the emperor cares about you, do you still need us subordinates? I've lived for most of my life, but it's the first time I've heard that the emperor went to save people. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Wanyao felt even more aggrieved, "But the person he saved was not me, if it weren't for my life, you wouldn't have seen me today, and you would have been burned to ashes by the fire." ”

Doctor Le still had a smile on his face, "If it weren't for you, the emperor would have gone to the Moon Pavilion barefoot and didn't even have time to put on his clothes?" If it weren't for you, the emperor would have run there to save a palace maid who he didn't even know who it was? I'm a bit outrageous when I say you're sulking. ”

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and wanted to refute, but found that she was unable to refute, and suddenly softened again.

Doctor Le walked up to her and said earnestly, "Girl, don't look at those concubines who are beautiful in front of others, it's not easy to be in this harem." Even if you are sincere to the emperor, but there are so many concubines around the emperor to deal with, how much heart can you give you? ”

Xiao Wanyao opened her mouth, still looking weak. Instead, he stared at Doctor Le with a disdainful expression, "In case the emperor really likes me, if I become the master in the future, Master Le, you can be careful what you say today, maybe I will grab your pigtails with this." ”

Doctor Le shook his head and glanced at Xiao Wanyao, "Girl, although I am just a small medical officer in this harem, I have read countless people, you are not that kind of person." At least you are not the kind of person who puts power in your eyes, if you are not sincere to the emperor, why sigh here. ”

Hearing his words, Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned, and the momentum of the whole person softened, and chuckled with a touch of sarcasm, in the end, her sincerity was seen through by an unknown doctor.

"How good it is to be powerful, who doesn't like it." At last she muttered softly, she also had a yearning for power in her heart, but it was slightly different from the women in the harem.

After chatting with Doctor Le for a few words, Xiao Wanyao also thought a lot in her heart, indeed, if Xue Tianao didn't live in the Tingyue Pavilion, how could he run over in such a hurry? He is willing to desperately save a palace maid, which shows that he is not the kind of indifferent person, isn't this a good thing for himself.

So in the evening, she prepared Xue Tianao's favorite snacks to find him. When he arrived at Taihe Palace, he heard that Xue Tianao was discussing things with the ministers, so he waited for him in the side hall.

After a long time, Xiao Wanyao climbed on the table and fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she had an extra robe on her body, she rubbed her eyes and found Xue Tianao sitting not far away, holding a book in her hand and looking at it carefully.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of her sitting up, evoking a faint smile, and said softly, "Awake?" ”

"Well, wake up, when did you come in? I didn't even hear it. Xiao Wanyao said with a yawn.

"I think you must not have slept well last night, and when I came in to see you sleeping, I didn't wake you up. I've already eaten the dim sum, but I can only stay here for a while, and the ministers don't go to eat before they leave, and they have to discuss political affairs later. Xue Tianao said indifferently.

Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned, "Still want to discuss?" What happened to the DPRK? ”

"The Yan State is disturbing the border of the Wei State, and I am ready to send General Fang to send troops to pacify it, and then there is the matter on the Chu side." Xue Tianao put down the book in his hand, walked in front of her, and looked at her with a little worry in his eyes.

When Xiao Wanyao heard Chu Guo, she hesitated, "What's wrong with Chu Guo?" ”

"Have you forgotten? At the beginning, I personally led the troops to forcibly occupy the ten prefectures and counties of Chu State, and then they were taken away by you. The people of Chu sent envoys to return to those ten prefectures and counties. Xue Tianao said.

Xiao Wanyao was even more puzzled, and blinked her eyes, those ten prefectures and counties were connected to the Jiangnan of the Wei State, and after the occupation, they were connected to the Jiangnan region, and the locals had a lot of contacts, and the economy was also very developed. However, there is no chaos, but more like a country.

Xiao Wanyao was still a little glad that she had robbed those ten states and counties. It's a pity that because of her step, Shangguan Yunfan's 400,000 Chu army was lost. It's worth it.

"Those ten prefectures and counties are in my hands, why did the envoys of the Chu State come to the Wei State to ask for it? Isn't that weird. Xiao Wanyao didn't react a little, she didn't know what was going on.

Xue Tianao laughed, and hooked Xiao Wanyao's delicate nose behind him, "You are really greedy, you occupied my Jiangnan, and snatched those ten states and counties from my hands?" What, do you want to be a queen? ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled and said nothing, she did have this idea, but she couldn't tell him yet, "Tell me quickly, what did the envoy of the Chu State say when he came here?" Why do you want those ten states? ”

Xue Tianao said solemnly, "The envoy didn't come here to ask for those ten states and counties, but to help me recapture those ten states and counties." ”

Xiao Wanyao tilted her head, she used to be the queen of Chu and Guo Ping's queen, this must be Guo Ping's idea. It's just that Guo Ping did this, it was completely risky, Guo Ping almost killed Xue Tianao at the beginning, how could he have the confidence that Xue Tianao would agree to him?

Suddenly, Xiao Wanyao looked back at Xue Tianao, saw his calm face, and suddenly felt that he deliberately talked about this matter in front of him, not lightly because the ten prefectures and counties were in his hands, "You are the emperor of Wei State, this is a matter between you and Chu State, why do you want to come to discuss with me?" It's up to you. She said without his gaze.

Xue Tianao's expression was very indifferent, but he was very clear in his heart, and he said lightly, "The state of Chu has made conditions, if I promise to help the state of Chu recapture those ten prefectures and counties, they will send troops to help me recover Jiangnan." Although Wei's national strength is not good at this time, if the two countries are united, one Jiangnan should not be a problem. ”

Xiao Wanyao was suddenly stunned and looked back at him, "What do you promise?" ”

"Not yet, I have consulted with the ministers, and the ministers are more in favor of such cooperation." Xue Tianao said.

"But Guo Ping almost killed you." Xiao Wanyao reminded. Xue Tianao shouldn't have forgotten about the events of that year so quickly.

His expression was still indifferent, but he also looked at her a little indifferently, "That's right, there are also ministers in the court who know about this matter, but as an emperor, you should put the country first, and personal grievances are just a trivial matter." I can let it go. ”

Xiao Wanyao gasped, looking at Xue Tianao's increasingly cold gaze, she had already guessed what he was thinking, he wanted to accept this Tiyì, accept Guo Ping's joint Tiyì and then attack Jiangnan.

She turned her head suddenly, was silent for a moment, chuckled, and when she looked at him again, there was a hint of cold arrogance in her eyes, "Okay, wow, you can join forces to recover Jiangnan, and you can also help him snatch those ten states and counties from my hands." There are many benefits for you. ”

Xue Tianao still had to say something She stood up suddenly, and the hand that was still holding on the table clenched slightly, he saw it in his eyes, and there was a trace of pain in his heart, "Do you want to sue sù, if I return Jiangnan to Wei State, you won't unite with him?" ”

Xue Tianao meant this, as long as Xiao Wanyao stopped going against him, he had no reason to join forces with others to deal with her. It's something obvious. What's more, it's not that it's him, and many ministers in the DPRK and China who he wants to encircle have such thoughts. He has been delaying the affairs of Jiangnan for a long time for her, and if he continues like this, he will inevitably disappoint those ministers, and his prestige in the court will be greatly reduced.

Xue Tianao nodded, Xiao Wanyao suddenly laughed, she didn't know what it was, she only felt that her heart was smashed by something, and she was a little dizzy. With a hint of sarcasm in her sneer, she turned and took a few steps towards the door.

Xue Tianao also stood up closely, frowned tightly and said, "Wan Yao...... Since you are already by my side, why can't you return Jiangnan to Wei? Tell me what you want, and I'll give you it. ”

Xiao Wanyao turned her back to him and didn't speak, it turned out that she was reborn once, and she had changed so much, some things seemed to have been ingrained in her heart, just like she loved him and would not change, but she would not succumb to him. Gain his favor by compromising everything.

After a long time, she slowly turned her head, her face expressionless, but the cold arrogance in her eyes deeply stung Xue Tianao, which was different from the eyes she had when she looked at him in the past, it was a kind of overly proud look, it was a lifetime, it was the eyes that only kings have, and it was the eyes of kings in the world.

"I'll think about it for a while, and I'll talk about it later." With that, she turned and walked out of the room.

Because the Tingyue Pavilion was burned before, she temporarily lived in a side hall far away from Taihe Palace, which was very close to the place where the palace maid lived, the environment was not good, and the place was relatively remote, which was still due to Xue Tianao's virtuous concubine.

Hearing that the Tingyue Pavilion was burning, she took the initiative to come out and ask to arrange a place for Xiao Wanyao, but it turned out to be arranged in this place.

Xue Tianao didn't seem to raise any objections, so he stayed here.

After returning to the residence, Xiao Wanyao immediately began to pack her things, but after packing up for a long time, there was only a small package and the silver needle she carried with her, if she wanted to leave here, all she could take away was this little thing, and the broken heart that had been heard.

Inexplicably, she wanted to cry, but this time she didn't let her tears flow.

Instead, she held her hands tightly, her territory, no one would want to take away half a point, she looked at her poor little package, she had never expected anything, just a sincerity, but she was still no match for his world.

Despite this, she admitted it, gave in, accepted his Yiqiē, and wanted to exchange a sincere heart for his heart, but in the end, she was really too naïve.

Xiao Wanyao walked out of the house with the package, and was seen by Qian Xiao, who came here, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Miss Yanran, where are you going?" ”

"Get out of the palace, this is not my place, it's not up to me to decide, go to a place where you can make your own decisions." Xiao Wanyao snorted coldly, pulling the package and about to go out. R1154
