At this time, the personal palace maid beside the queen walked over and couldn't help but speak, "Queen Mother, the emperor has already decreed that Xiao Wanyao be named a concubine, will you let Xue Gongzi go to see her?" ”

Xue Qingyi took a deep breath, glanced coldly at the palace maid next to her, and leaned her body into the soft couch, "What do you know, what is more important than eradicating a strong opponent?" She chuckled, Xiao Wanyao, do you think you can do whatever you want when you come back to Concubine Feng? You don't know the means of Hongu yet.

Xiao Wanyao obtained Tang Siqi's consent to take the herbs she wanted from the medicine depot in the palace, which was undoubtedly the only pleasure and the only benefit after she returned to the palace. While she was studying these herbs and thinking of new prescriptions, the waiting palace maid walked in, "Miss Xiao, Queen Mother, has a message from her side, saying that you should go to the hidden garden. ”

Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned, "Go to the Hidden Garden?" Is the Queen there too? The palace maid shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know, it's just that the queen sent someone from the queen to let you go over, and the others didn't say." ”

Xiao Wanyao put down the herbs in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, the Youyuan is next to the cold palace, there are very few people who go there on weekdays, it was not called this name before, it is said that it is because there are often some unclean things in that garden, so it is called Youyuan.

It should have been a matter of the previous dynasty, decades ago. Xiao Wanyao naturally didn't believe this, but she didn't like to be close to the cold palace, "I know, I'll go over in a while." Xiao Wanyao thought to herself, she didn't know what the queen wanted to do, why she suddenly wanted to go to that place.

The palace maid said, "Do you want the slave to accompany you?" Xiao Wanyao shook her head, "No need, I know the way, just go over by yourself." She still doesn't trust the people here, and she doesn't like to be too close to the people in the palace.

The secluded garden is not big, and Xiao Wanyao feels that someone like Xue Qingyi who loves to show off will definitely bring many people over and find her at a glance. However, after I went, I found that it was not as lively as I thought, it was cold, and there were even some corners with snow left in which there was no completely melted.

Xiao Wanyao walked along the porch, but no one noticed it, just when she was hesitating whether to go back, suddenly a familiar figure broke into her sight, he was dressed in green clothes, his face was a little pale, and he looked a lot thinner, his face was a little haggard, and his beautiful eyes had a trace of dark circles, which obviously showed that he had not slept well recently.

He walked up to her and smiled faintly at her, "I didn't expect to meet so soon." At this moment, she realized that the reason why the queen let her come to the Youyuan was not because she had something to look for her, but because of Xue Tianao.

"You're going to your sister for help again? There is a queen sister, who is really omnipotent, but I am already here, and I am about to become his concubine, and in this deep palace, we meet like this, if people see it......"

Before she finished her words, Xue Tianao stepped forward and took her into his arms hard, and her words also buried in her arms with his movements, "Tianao......" she said softly, wanting to push him away, but she only pushed him once and gave up.

"You're mad at me, aren't you?" He asked. Xiao Wanyao locked her eyebrows, "How come?" You're thinking too much. "If you weren't angry, why did you go back to the palace with him, I know that you took the initiative to find him, not because you have nowhere to run, why? Why do you still have to agree to be a concubine. Xue Tian said stubbornly.

Xiao Wanyao let him hold herself, "I'm not angry." Xue Tianao let go of her eyes and looked directly at her, "As you said, if he finds you, if he takes you back to the palace, I will be helpless, because with my current ability, I can't fight against him at all, just like what you said when you left that day." ”

Xue Tianao sneered and let go of her arms, "Are you despising me and mocking me?" Because the country is his. ”

Xiao Wanyao hurriedly said, "I ......" She was a little anxious because of his misunderstanding, but those words were indeed what she said, what she wanted was to make him die, didn't she?

Thinking of this, she regained her composure and chuckled, "That's right, as you said, Xue Tianao, you want to be the son of heaven of Wei, it's just wishful thinking, you want to avenge your mother, you don't even know how she died, and when facing the army of Chu, you are defeated again and again."

Just a sentence from Tang Siqi, you can lose a qiē, or even ...... You can't even make your own decisions about your marriage. ”

Xue Tianao sneered, "So in your heart, that's how you look at me?" "That's right, in my eyes, you are a wreck, except for being attractive, there is no other use, I, Xiao Wanyao, don't want to follow someone like you for the rest of my life." So, we'd better not see each other in the future, because I'll soon be his concubine. ”

After saying that, she turned around to leave, but he grabbed her wrist and grabbed her.

Xue Tianao's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you sincere to him?" Xiao Wanyao didn't look back and said, "It doesn't matter if it's sincere or not, how many people in this harem can say that they are sincere?" I came back just for my father, for the Xiao family, you can't give me the power he can give, I only follow the strongest person in my life, but that person is definitely not you. ”

After saying that, she shook off his hand vigorously and strode away, but he didn't know that when she walked out of the secluded garden, the sad tears slipped silently.

Xue Tianao suddenly laughed, his eyes were full of anger, outright murderous, and every word of her pierced his heart. originally thought that as long as she gave her feelings, she would definitely be moved, but she was simply an unintentional person, how could she be moved?

He clenched his hands tightly, Xiao Wanyao It turns out that all your excuses are fake, what you want in the end is power, or status, because you think I can't give it to you, so you will go to him, because I have no use value. You wait, I'm going to show you who the real powerhouse is in this world, and then, I'm going to see with my own eyes the way you beg me.

Xiao Wanyao returned to Zining Palace with a panicked and solemn expression, her face was pale, and when the palace maid saw her coming back, she stepped forward to ask, "Miss Xiao, what's wrong with you?" However, she panicked and closed the house, and the palace maid went up and knocked on the door with some worry, "Miss Xiao, are you okay?" Is something going on? ”

Xiao Wanyao held back her tears, "I'm fine, I just want to stay alone for a while, you guys go and do your own thing." The maid hesitated, then turned to leave.

She leaned against the door, clutching her murderer's clothes, her heart ached as if she was about to suffocate, she thought she could let go, let go completely, but she didn't know when she sank to the point where she couldn't extricate herself.

Thinking about what he said just now, this time he will definitely despair of himself, they will not have a future, and the one qiē will end here.

Just when Xiao Wanyao was hiding alone in the room, Tang Siqi suddenly came to Zining Palace, and before the eunuchs in the palace had time to report, Tang Siqi rushed into Xiao Wanyao's room with an angry look, and the eunuchs who followed Tang Siqi did not dare to approach.

Xiao Wanyao heard the sound outside and knew that Tang Siqi was coming, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears, tried her best to pretend to be casual, and then sat down on the soft couch.

However, he didn't even bless his body, so he was grabbed by Tang Siqi, "Xiao Wanyao, what are you going back to the palace for this time?" ”

Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, thinking about the reason why Tang Siqi was angry this time, "I've already told you, do you want me to say it again?" ”

Tang Siqi pulled her shirt angrily, "Is it really just to protect your father?" And not for someone else? Staring at his eyes, Xiao Wanyao's heart was cold, as if she sensed that he knew something, "Yes." She replied.

However, Tang Siqi didn't believe her words at all at this time, and sneered, "Why did you meet Xue Tianao in Youyuan?" Don't tell me, you only met there by chance. ”

Xiao Wanyao's nerves seemed to be stung by something, and at this moment she suddenly realized that she had been framed by someone again, and suddenly sneered, Queen, Queen, if you don't design to frame me for a while, you will feel uncomfortable.

Until now, you have even involved your own brother, and in order to hold your status as the queen, you even sacrifice your own family, you are really vicious.

"Answer me." Tang Siqi tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

"I said it, I will only come back for the sake of the Xiao family, if the emperor wants to eradicate the Xiao family, then I should belong to one of them, you should be happy."

Tang Siqi let go of her and pushed her down on the soft couch, "Why didn't you show up at another time?" Just stopped me when I was about to go to Xue Tianao? I told you, because you had been staying by Xue Tianao's side before, and Xue Tianao had single-handedly planned your escape from the palace back then, and you were worried that I would punish him if I found him, so you stopped my carriage and obediently followed me back. Xiao Wanyao, do you think I'm a fool and don't know anything? Don't forget that this is my world, do you think you can keep Xue Tianao with this method? I tell you that I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Wei Kingdom, and the whole world is mine, and none of you want to escape from my palm. ”

After Xiao Wanyao heard what he said, she slowly sat up from the soft couch, her expression was indifferent, but the corners of her mouth hooked a sneer, "The relationship between me and you is just a relationship of using and being used, so why bother about these things." ”

Her laughter aroused his disgust, a slap in the face, Xiao Wanyao fell into the soft couch again, the corners of her mouth were torn like pain, her eyes were dim, and when she came back to her senses, the blood at the corners of her mouth had fallen on the soft couch, she wiped it lightly with her hand, looking at the blood stains on her fingers, she sneered again, for some reason, she just wanted to laugh.

Tang Siqi looked at her and said coldly, "Since you don't want to be my woman, then I will fulfill you, and this time I will completely fulfill you." After saying that, he turned around and strode away, leaving her to sit alone in the soft couch, and the other palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to approach her.

Since then, no one has been to the Zining Palace, except for the people who deliver meals every day, Xiao Wanyao has never seen anyone else, as if she has returned to her previous life, only this time she was not interrupted by him.

Zining Palace gathered so many people again, it was Tang Siqi who issued a holy decree, and the person who delivered the holy decree stood in a room, only she knelt on the ground, listening to every sentence and word in the holy decree. In a trance, she seemed to be dreaming, and when she woke up, she was already sitting on the ground, and there was a holy decree written by Tang Siqi's novice on the table, and those words were still echoing in her ears, "Xiao family, all over the house." ”

Chapter 183

wait

It seems that there are other things about myself, I don't remember but it doesn't matter anymore. She is a member of the Xiao family, and she naturally has her share in the door-to-door beheading, and she said that she will no longer be emotional. She said that in this life, some people must be paid with blood. She even said that she wanted this world. As a result, it is still difficult to escape such a fate......

She slowly stood up from the ground, picked up the holy decree on the table, and read it word by word, but when she read it to the end, one sentence made her consciousness completely sober, and she stared at the line of words with wide eyes, "Xiao Wanyao married the prince of Chu State!" She looked up suddenly, and couldn't help but say his name, "Guo Ping? ”

Suddenly, Xiao Wanyao laughed again, in this life, he did not kill himself, but sold himself to others. She slowly put away the holy decree, tidied up her clothes, and slowly sat down at the table with an indifferent expression, she was waiting, waiting for a news, or waiting for the moment when Tang Siqi stepped into the Zining Palace again.

Late at night, she still sat there, the corners of her mouth could still see the scars, her cheeks were bruised and swollen from the beating, she didn't eat or drink all day, she knew she couldn't get out of here, and she didn't want to go out.

Sure enough, there was a noise outside again, and when they pushed the door in, she sat there, the corners of her torn mouth slightly hooked up a faint smile, but it was a pity that the person who came was not Tang Siqi, Xiao Wanyao took a breath slightly, and was a little disappointed, in fact, she wanted to see Tang Siqi more at the moment.

"Miss Xiao, the emperor, please leave the palace!" The eunuch at the head bowed his head and said, he seemed extremely nervous at the moment, and he must have been very good when he came. Xiao Wanyao slowly stood up, the corners of her mouth hooked into a faint smile, "Why didn't he come in person?" Before the eunuch could speak, Xiao Wanyao waved her hand, "That's it, since you don't want to see me again, you don't have to force him." ”

After speaking, he followed these people out of the palace of the Wei State, and walked out of the palace gate, the lights were bright, the long street was full of people, and a messenger wearing the official uniform of the State of Chu saw Xiao Wanyao come out, and hurriedly stepped forward, "The envoy of the Lower Chu State is here to greet Miss Xiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done what you said, can Miss Xiao leave with us at this moment?" ”

Xiao Wanyao raised her head, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, "I still want to see a few people, if you are not in a hurry, I will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned into another carriage Ordinary carriage, the carriage walked slowly, and took Xiao Wanyao to a secluded mansion in the capital, after Xiao Wanyao got out of the car, she saw that the envoy's car was also following behind, just glanced at him, and then turned around and walked into the house. The envoy and the guards were waiting outside.

After Xiao Wanyao entered, several people hurriedly ran over, and her eyes suddenly warmed up in her always cold and arrogant expression, "Auntie, Shuxian, are you okay?" ”

The aunt wiped her tears, "We are very good, after knowing about you, we came here, and it was good to see that you were fine, just ......" The aunt cried again, and she naturally knew that Xiao Wanyao was going to marry the prince of Chu.

Xiao Wanyao took her hand and smiled faintly, "Auntie, don't worry, Wanyao will take care of herself, and you are the same, today is probably the last time we will meet, you must take good care of yourself when you get there, and Shuxian ......"

Xiao Wanyao looked at Shuxian on the side, stretched out her hand and touched Mo his head, Shuxian, who was only a few years younger than herself, was already about the same height as her, "Study hard, my uncle didn't return to Beijing this time, presumably he also has his concerns, Shuxian has grown up, and he will take good care of my aunt and your father in the future." ”

Xiao Shuxian nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I'm already a man, and I won't let them be bullied." Xiao Wanyao smiled and nodded, the time is not early, things in the capital may change at any time at this moment, so she must leave here as much as possible, and let the people of the Xiao family leave here as much as possible, "The carriages and horses are ready, after I leave, you can also leave as soon as possible!" ”

The aunt nodded, "Your uncle also wrote to us and informed us, but it's just your father." Xiao Wanyao lowered her head slightly and sighed, "That's it, he must not want to see me." In that case, it's better not to see it, huh...... I ruined his official career this time, so naturally he hates me, so let's talk about it later. ”

At this time, the envoy of the Chu State walked in from outside, "Miss Xiao, we have to leave the capital as much as possible." Xiao Wanyao nodded, "Auntie, Shuxian, I'm leaving!" I don't know when I'll see you again in the future, I must ......" she held back tears so that she didn't let herself cry. After that, he left with the envoys of Chu.

And standing in the hall, Xiao Man, who was watching from afar, looked at Xiao Wanyao's back, and couldn't help sighing, Liu Ruyun stood aside and reached out to grab Xiao Man's arm.

"Now, we can only leave the capital. The right prime minister's side and the ministers of the central government have already written a memo and submitted it to the emperor, it must be a sin of copying the whole house, and the emperor's holy decree has not yet come, so ...... So let's run away. ”

Xiao Man looked at Xiao Wanyao's figure until she turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and then let out a long breath, "I didn't expect that I would lose to the right prime minister in the officialdom all my life." ”

Liu Ruyun gently grabbed his arm, although she was very mean to Xiao Wanyao, she still had a deep affection for the man in front of her, "Fortunately, we already knew, so we have to leave here as much as possible, in case the emperor knows......"

Xiao Man glanced at her, "He should have known it a long time ago, but he didn't know why the holy decree had not been issued." At this time, the guards outside walked in, "Lord Xiao, we can go." ”

Xiao Man didn't say anything more, and left the capital with his family in the prepared carriage.

Zhentian and Zhenling rode on horseback and stood at the gate of the city waiting for Xiao Wanyao's carriage, Chu Guo's convoy came out in a mighty way, the two of them glanced at each other Zhenling rode forward, but were stopped by Chu State's guards, Xiao Wanyao felt that the carriage stopped and heard the sound of Zhenling talking outside, she got up and left the carriage, "She is my friend, she is here to see her off, let her come over." ”

The guard glanced at the escort soldier in front of the carriage, the soldier nodded, and the guard let Zhen Ling go, the corner of Zhen Ling's mouth hooked a faint smile, and slowly walked in front of her on horseback, "The eldest lady is about to become the princess of Chu State, how do you feel?" ”

Xiao Wanyao chuckled, and Zhen Ling jumped onto the car board lightly, "Our soldiers and horses are ten miles away, and they can be demolished at any time, of course, many of them are Xiao Ze's subordinates, as long as you give an order, we can enter this imperial city When the time comes, the world of this Wei country will naturally be yours." ”

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and looked at the vast night in the distance, "The army of Chu occupies a large territory of Wei, if you rebel at this time, I am afraid that it will only benefit the fisherman." ”

Zhen Ling smiled, "What are you afraid of, now that Mingyu and Xiao Ze's army are united, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers are afraid that they won't be able to defeat the Wei State?" Xiao Wanyao still shook her head, turned around and took a deep look at the capital behind her, "There is a person who wants this place more than me, and he will naturally become the king of this place at that time." ”

Zhen Ling followed her gaze into the distance, and vaguely saw two big characters on the city gate, "You mean Xue Tianao?" ”

Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, and said to Zhen Ling, "Escort my family to find my uncle, this time my uncle betrayed the imperial court, Tang Siqi will definitely not let him go, you are stationed in Jiangnan, and when I arrive in Chu State, they will naturally withdraw their troops, this is the condition set by Guo Ping, and Jiangbei will fall into the hands of Xue Tianao at that time......"

Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, "This step is a risky move, fortunately, when I went to find my uncle, he agreed to do this, if it weren't for my uncle's help, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to blackmail Tang Siqi alone, but if we don't take this step, Tang Siqi will sooner or later get rid of the Xiao family, just let my father bear the charge of betrayal." ”

Zhen Ling smiled, "Your father has a big heart, presumably this crime is nothing." It's just that I don't know one thing, why does Tang Siqi hate the Xiao family so much? The right prime minister said that he had the handle to get rid of the Xiao family, what is it? Wasn't your father always a loyal man? What did he do that would implicate the Nine Clans? ”

Xiao Wanyao shook her head, "I don't know, I don't know about my father's affairs in the officialdom, in fact, I also suspect that my father has always been loyal to the country, what did he do that would make Tang Siqi want to kill him?" At this moment, the envoy of the Chu State stepped forward and urged, "If Miss Xiao doesn't leave, I'm afraid things will change, and it will be very dangerous at that time." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded and looked at Zhen Ling, "According to what I said, I must protect my family and hand it over to my uncle, tell me Mingyu to guard Jiangnan, and if there is anything, you can go to the Kyushu Gang to help Pei Luofei." Zhenling nodded, "Got it, you also take care, and we'll look for you when we send them to Jiangnan." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded, and Zhenling rode on the horse again, looked deeply at her, and then galloped away with Zhentian on horseback.

Xiao Wanyao squinted her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at the endless night in front of her, as if her future fate made her a little confused, but in the distance, a star in the sky flashed with a faint light, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile again, looking at the star, even if it was just a little hope, she would not give up this time.

Xiao Wanyao then got into the carriage and drove towards Guo Ping's military camp.

In the right Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Tianao sat in his study, the door of the study was open, and it was pitch black outside, only the stars in the distance flickered a little faintly.

It was not far from his father's residence, it was noisy, he knew what was going on there, and at this moment, he was completely clear why Xiao Wanyao followed Tang Siqi back to the palace, it turned out that every step was designed by her a long time ago, what he never expected was that the rebels in Jiangnan turned out to be her subordinates.

Thinking of this, Xue Tianao's hand on the table was clenched tightly, his eyes under the dark night were even deeper, no one saw his expression at the moment, and no one could understand his mood at the moment, Xiao Wanyao, he repeated the name over and over again in his heart, remembering what she had said, sooner or later he would see her true face, and at this time he knew it clearly, but he was so surprised, I don't know whether it was anger or excitement, maybe the latter is more.

Xue Tianao couldn't help but laugh in the dark night, with a hint of arrogance and domineering, as if a hunter hidden in the dark had discovered his favorite prey.

At this time, Xiao Wanyao was sitting in the carriage of Chu State, opened her eyes slightly, and her body couldn't help but shake slightly with the carriage. After she left Yanzhou, she went to Mingyu, she didn't have such a plan, but when she met Xiao Ze, she knew that something serious had happened to the Xiao family. R1154
