Chapter 189: Apology
Xiao Wanyao came to the side of the bed with the medicine bowl, looked at Guo Ping, who was still lying on it, smiled faintly, and then sat down on the edge of the bed, "You really don't plan to drink medicine?" She asked softly, seeing that he still didn't move, she shook her head helplessly, and looked around, there were only two of them in the room, but she still hesitated.
She finally took a deep breath, took a sip of the medicine bowl herself, and then leaned over to him, Guo Ping only felt that the light outside was slightly dim, and before he could open his eyes to see clearly, his lips had been blocked by her, for a moment Guo Ping thought that Xiao Wanyao was doing this to apologize, and for a moment he was excited to take her into his arms, it was the first time she had been so active for so long.
However, when he felt the bitter taste flowing from her mouth to his mouth, he realized that she was feeding himself medicine, "woo......" He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but found that his arms were weak, although his consciousness was very clear, but he couldn't use any strength, and under her compulsion, he had to drink the decoction that was sent to his mouth.
"What did you do to me?" As soon as she left his lips, Guo Ping shouted. Xiao Wanyao sat innocently on the edge of the bed, her eyes moved, and she smiled evilly, "I just sealed the place where you used a silver needle, so you feel weak now." There's no way who told you not to drink the medicine, so please forgive your Royal Highness the Prince. After speaking, he drank a large mouthful of decoction and leaned over and pressed down on Guo Ping.
Guo Ping liked the feeling of Xiao Wanyao pressing on his body, and he also loved her warm lips like water, and her tongue that inadvertently penetrated into his mouth in order to deliver medicine, but he really couldn't stand the bitter taste of that medicine.
However, he had no ability to resist, so he could only let Xiao Wanyao pour the decoction into his mouth and swallow it, and after she successfully fed Guo Ping the second medicine, Guo Ping was furious, "Xiao Wanyao, you dare to do this to me." Xiao Wanyao sat up straight, smiled faintly, and said meaningfully, "Since I came here, I know that I won't have any good fruit to eat, and I even know that your gentleness is just an illusion, and you are the same as them." The only difference is that you are my husband, and I can only be good if you are good, so you have to drink this medicine no matter what. β
Guo Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, they never talked about liking between them, let alone about love, he never said what was in his heart to her, she was just a quid pro quo, he didn't want to say it, but he knew that her heart was not necessarily full of him, if he said it, he would lose, "Why do you feel like this?" β
Xiao Wanyao was holding the medicine bowl, and there was still some residual medicinal soup hanging from her mouth, "If you don't think so, can we have feelings between us?" Guo Ping smiled, "You're too naΓ―ve!" She tilted her head to look at him, "So I guessed right, you don't have feelings for me, but why did you let me come here?" There are many outstanding princesses in Wei, and I am just a concubine in Prime Minister Zuo's family. β
Guo Ping's body couldn't be used, and his eyes looked at her, "You poisoned me, caused me to get sick, and then knocked me out and secretly sent me back to Chu State, and asked people to send prescriptions, pretending to be hypocritically kind, you played this prince, and this prince naturally wants to take revenge." β
Xiao Wanyao suddenly smiled, "So, you asked me to marry you, it's just child's play, just to show that you are better than me in front of me?" But it's a pity, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm not the kind of woman who can coax people, let alone the kind of virtuous and virtuous woman, you'd better not plan to see it in me. She leaned over him slightly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, "You'll regret marrying me." β
"And what are you doing now? It's clear that they just want to please me. Guo Ping chuckled, his favorite is such Xiao Wanyao, if it is the kind of person who has three obedience and four virtues, there are many more around him, it is because he can't control her, it is because he knows that it is not so easy to get her, so he wants her, and it is not only her person who completely gets her, but also her heart.
Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned, sat up straight again, and blinked, "Huh...... No matter what, I still have to give you some face in front of outsiders. You're the crown prince after all. "But now it's just the two of us in this room." Guo Ping said with a smile. Xiao Wanyao was stunned again, and thought for a while with a small mouth, "You are my husband, unless you divorce me, otherwise you will be strong to me, if you are like me, I naturally hope that you can be better." β
Guo Ping turned his head and laughed, he loved Xiao Wanyao like this to death, but Xiao Wanyao's next sentence made his face change greatly, "It's time to continue taking medicine, His Royal Highness the Prince, there are many more, let the concubine feed you slowly." There was a wicked smile in her voice, and it was clear from her tone that she could hold back a smile. Guo Ping's gaze suddenly turned cold, but it couldn't stop her from giving him medicine herself.
Guo Ping admitted Xiao Wanyao's words, only if he is well, Xiao Wanyao can be better in Chu State, so he will not let anything happen to Xiao Wanyao no matter what he does, this kind of trust is very strange, he has never trusted anyone so much, but he trusts her for no reason.
Guo Ping gritted his teeth, drank the last sip of medicine, looked at her and wiped the corners of his mouth triumphantly and said angrily, "I have written down this account, Xiao Wanyao, you wait, don't let me catch the opportunity." She smiled and took the silver needle from his arm, and Guo Ping instantly regained his freedom, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know when he will deal with his concubines?" β
As soon as the words fell, she was wrapped in his arms and pressed under her, "It's now." Saying that, he pressed her lips, Xiao Wanyao frowned, and tried to push him away, but his hand had already untied the shirt on her chest.
Xiao Wanyao thought about refusal, she was always trying her best to refuse Guo Ping's pampering, just when Guo Ping kissed Xiao Wanyao's lips and wanted to take the next step, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea, an irrepressible nausea coming from her stomach.
Guo Ping sensed her strangeness and let go of her, Xiao Wanyao suddenly crawled to the side of the bed and vomited down.
Guo Ping Suomei, "You...... Is this disgusting? Xiao Wanyao clutched her chest, "Don't you see it?" Really threw up. Guo Ping held back his anger, "You're disgusting to me?" Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, and found that he seemed to have misunderstood something, "I just feel sick to my stomach, not what you think." β
Guo Ping's eyes narrowed, he got up and got out of bed to tidy up his clothes a little and left. Xiao Wanyao shook her head helplessly, why didn't she realize that this Prince Guo Ping was so temperamental before? How to be like a child, but before she could think about it, she began to feel nauseous and vomit again.
It wasn't until she tidied up her clothes and walked out of the room that she was still thinking, could it be that she was really disgusted with Guo Ping? Is it because he has been thinking about Xue Tianao in his heart? This really doesn't bode well.
However, she did react naturally just now, and when Zhu'er saw Xiao Wanyao come out outside, she couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Crown Princess, why did you provoke His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" He seemed to leave in a huff again. β
Xiao Wanyao smiled bitterly, "I didn't do anything to him, I just fed him medicine." "Zhu'er paused, "Just taking medicine?" Xiao Wanyao nodded affirmatively, and Zhu'er said again, "Sister Zhenling told the slave maid when the slave maid came here that she must help the princess more in terms of human affairs......
She paused and looked at Zhu'er, "What do you mean?" Zhu'er pursed her lower lip slightly and said in embarrassment, "Sister Zhenling said that the crown princess is a bad person from the inside to the outside, and she must be strictly guarded, otherwise she will definitely make a big mess." β
Zhu'er said cautiously, in fact, she didn't plan to say these words to Xiao Wanyao, but she felt that Xiao Wanyao was very cautious, no matter who she spoke to properly, she didn't find the kind of situation that Zhen Ling said.
It was just that Zhenling was worried about the crown princess so he said it so casually, but now it seems that Xiao Wanyao is polite and thoughtful to others, but it is a little strange to Prince Guo Ping, especially when he ran away from him twice in one day, Zhu'er looked at Xiao Wanyao with a little distrust, "Princess, you really just fed medicine just now?" β
"Yes, just the medicine." Xiao Wanyao pursed her lips and rubbed her chest, thinking to herself that she had eaten something wrong? Why the hell was it disgusting?
Pearls said again, "How do you feed the medicine?" Xiao Wanyao paused, the hand that was rubbing on her chest also stopped, and turned her head to look at Zhu'er, "Of course...... I fed him. How else can you feed it. Xiao Wanyao was a little weak-hearted, "Zhu'er, I'm a little uncomfortable, I just feel sick in my stomach, you go and get me something to eat." β
Zhu'er nodded, "Crown Princess, then hurry up and go to the room to rest for a while, and I'll go get whatever you want to eat." Xiao Wanyao nodded, "Take some sour food, I always feel that there is no taste in my mouth." β
After speaking, he turned around and entered the room again, and Zhu'er outside had just taken two steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and ran into the house, inside Xiao Wanyao hadn't walked to the soft couch, Zhu'er ran in, and looked at her in surprise, "Zhu'er, you got it back so soon?" β
Zhu'er hurriedly said, "No, no, the crown princess! The slave just thinks something is strange, don't you feel disgusting? And then want to eat something sour? Xiao Wanyao slowly sat down on the soft couch and leaned sideways, "What's wrong?" Zhu'er walked over with a smile and said in a low voice, "Crown Princess, are you happy?" β
Xiao Wanyao sat up suddenly, feeling nauseous again, Zhu'er hurriedly took the spittoon on the side and handed it to her, after she vomited for a while, she sat down slightly, her eyes stared ahead, she couldn't believe that she had ignored this possibility, but ......
Xiao Wanyao counted the days, thinking that when she was with Guo Ping, she paid attention to everything, and when she thought of the end, Xiao Wanyao gasped, and couldn't help grabbing Zhu'er's hand, "Zhu'er, I seem to be really pregnant." β
Zhu'er smiled, "Then congratulations to the crown princess." Xiao Wanyao shook her head and opened her mouth slightly, unable to believe it, "No, Zhu'er, the day is not right!" β
Zhu'er's face changed drastically, "What did you say, Crown Princess?" β
Xiao Wanyao pursed her lower lip, hurriedly got up and walked to the door, glanced outside, and checked her surroundings again, Zhu'er saw her appearance, stepped forward and grabbed her and said, "Princess, don't worry, there is no one here, only you and me." Cui'er is watching outside, and no one will come in. β
Xiao Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Zhu'er's hand, and turned pale, "Zhu'er, the child is not the prince's." As soon as the words came out, Zhu'er froze, as if she had misheard, but she quickly calmed down, she knew the relationship between Xiao Wanyao and Xue Tianao, and she also knew what had happened between them.
She lowered her voice and said, "Crown Princess, you came out of the Wei State to the Chu State, and for a long time in between, how could you ......?"
Chapter 190: Lei Luo
Xiao Wanyao shook her head, "He looked for me in the middle, and he was in the military camp of Chu State. Zhu'er gasped and didn't dare to spit it out, Xiao Wanyao returned to her seat in a daze, she never thought that such a thing would happen, she originally wanted to completely forget about him, and there was nothing to do with it, that night was just a dream, but ......
Zhu'er looked at Xiao Wanyao's appearance, calmed down and stepped forward and said, "Crown Princess, if this is the case, there is not much time in between, and it should not arouse the suspicion of others, so there is no need to panic." β
Xiao Wanyao chuckled, panicked? How could she panic, she is a healer, and she knows this kind of thing very well, but she originally wanted to break her thoughts, and wanted to erase Xue Tianao from her own world.
But he was so entangled, could this be the will of heaven? She lowered her head slightly and touched her belly, where was Xue Tianao's child.
She still remembered that night, he said in her ear that he would not let her go no matter what, she originally thought that when he married the princess of Yan Kingdom, when he had other women by his side in the future, and when she helped him take down the Wei Kingdom, then he would no longer think of himself, and she would definitely disappear from his world completely.
However, she will never be able to avoid him in this life.
At this moment, Cui'er came in from outside, "Crown Princess, someone from the Internal Affairs Office in the palace came and said that they were sending you something." Xiao Wanyao paused and took a deep breath, "Let them in." β
Cui'er nodded and went out, and then brought those people in, Xiao Wanyao saw that they were all holding things in their hands, and there were a lot of fine cloths, and the father-in-law who was the leader said, "The crown princess These are the things that the emperor gave to His Royal Highness the crown prince, the affairs of the internal affairs office were busy a few days ago, so I delayed a little time, and asked the princess to forgive me, the slave just sent it to the prince, and the prince only said to let me send it to the princess." β
Xiao Wanyao nodded, remembering that Guo Ping said that there were a few pieces of cloth to give to him, "I don't lack anything here, you take these things to the side concubines and concubines, let them choose some of their favorites, and then hand them over to the people in the house for safekeeping." β
Xiao Wanyao is not very good at other things except for her interest in medical books and herbal medicine, and she is talented.
The father-in-law at the head saluted, "The slave knows, so I will send it over." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Wanyao, at this moment Zhu'er had already prepared something and handed it over, "I'm tired of my father-in-law, I'm going to make a special trip." The eunuch was naturally happy, and after thanking Xiao Wanyao, he left with those things.
Cui'er was a little reluctant on the side, "Crown Princess, why are you giving them all?" The prince asked you to send it over because he wanted you to pick it first, but it turned out that they were cheaper, and they didn't treat you well on weekdays. Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, "There are so many women, but there is only one man, and I can't get anyone, if I don't even give them these things, they will find trouble with me sooner or later, at least this will make them feel more balanced, and when the prince loses interest in me in the future, he will naturally go to them again." β
These are all trivial matters, but what Xiao Wanyao is thinking about at the moment is about pregnancy, Zhu'er glanced at Xiao Wanyao and then said to Cui'er, "You go outside and guard, I have something to tell the princess." Cui'er nodded and went out immediately.
Zhu'er walked up to Xiao Wanyao and said, "Crown Princess, I don't think it will be a few days later to sue them about the pregnancy, otherwise there are many ill-intentioned people here, and it won't be good if they catch something." β
Xiao Wanyao nodded and sighed, "Don't talk about the handle, even if it makes them suspicious, it must be bad, I will hold back another ten days, and the days will be about the same." Zhu'er nodded, "When the time comes, the slave and maid will ask the imperial doctor to come over, and it will not be checked out in ten days, and then the matter will be reported to the prince, and the slave and maid will bring you something to eat." With that, he turned and left the room.
The father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office came to the side concubine Huo Yongdie with those rewards from the emperor, and Han Qianqian happened to be drinking tea there. Huo Yongdie glanced at the things in those people's hands and sneered, "This father-in-law, are you from the crown princess?" β
The father-in-law nodded and said, "Back to the prince's side concubine, the slave came from the princess's side, the princess said that she didn't need these things, so let the slave send them here, and let the prince's side concubine and the prince's concubine choose what they like." β
Huo Yongdie's eyes turned and glanced at Han Qianqian, who was cold on the side, and snorted coldly, "She must have picked the rest before she remembered to give it to us." I don't lack anything here, I don't want these things, I take them all. The father-in-law replied and turned around to leave, listening to Han Yongdie say, "Oh, by the way, wait a minute." β
The father-in-law turned around again and smiled, "What else does the crown princess have to order?" Huo Yongdie glanced at Han Qianqian next to her, "Look at my memory, I don't need anything here, but what the crown princess said was selected for me and the concubine, but I forgot to ask the concubine what she needed." β
After speaking, she turned around and sat down on the soft couch, and the corners of Han Qianqian's mouth hooked up a faint smile, "Thank you sister for worrying." Then he got up, walked back and forth among those items, and ordered a few things, "I will keep these things, and the rest will be handed over to the next person to put away, no matter how you say it, it is the prince's heart." Then he asked the maidservant beside him to reward the father-in-law with a few taels of silver, and then sent them away.
After Han Qianqian sat down again, Huo Yongdie smiled and said, "How can my sister be rare with these things, they must have been picked by the crown princess, and there is nothing good." When he said this, there was a touch of disdain in his tone.
Han Qianqian came to the mansion earlier than Xiao Wanyao, so she knew Huo Yongdie's personality better, and she was very low-key, never competing for anything, but preferred to watch coldly, "What can the people in the prince's mansion lack, this is the prince's will, not the princess's, if you let the prince know, wouldn't it be blamed again." β
Han Qianqian's face sank, and he was only thinking about Xiao Wanyao, and he didn't care about the prince's face, but it was too late.
This time, the state of Chu defeated the state of Wei, although it withdrew its troops, but it gained a lot of benefits from it, not only Xiao Wanyao, but also other things. In addition to the last crown prince, the emperor also rewarded two other people, one is Lei Luo, the general of Wei, and the other is Lei Luo's friend and the leader of the assassination organization.
Although Mingjun does not work in the open, but the assassination organization under his command has leveled a lot of tricky people for the Chu State, not only that, the people under the Mingjun have a wide range of information channels, they can accurately and quickly get the news of the other party, which is a hundred times stronger than the spies of the Chu State.
The emperor's condition has improved at this time, although the prince has stabilized his position in the court, but the situation is changing in the court, he is not the only one who wants to be the emperor, the emperor of Chu has twenty-three sons, of which the prince ranks seventh, above the prince, the emperor has always admired the three princes - Guo Ren, under the prince - Guo Xiao, is also a prince with good conduct, naturally there are people in the court who recommend the eighth prince as the prince.
And the most important point is that the eighth prince Guo Xiao is the son of the queen, still living in the palace, two years younger than Guo Ping, the third prince Guo Ren, is very scheming, not high, but he is very close to Guo Ping on weekdays, this person can speak well, alert, although he did not go out with the army, but he gave advice in the court, and won the emperor's love.
Guo Ping's biological mother is the emperor's favorite concubine An Lanyu, although she is below the queen, it is said that she almost became the queen of Chu at the beginning, but the queen's status in the court is better than An Lanyu, the emperor in order to please the ministers of the court, so he chose her as the queen, but An Lanyu is deeply favored by the emperor in the palace, and can still call the wind and rain.
It is precisely because of this that Guo Ping was able to become the prince smoothly, but his willfulness made him choose Xiao Wanyao as the crown princess, and the emperor was quite satisfied with Xiao Wanyao, but An Lanyu always thought that Xiao Wanyao, as a native of Wei, would not be the queen of Chu in the future, so he had no good impression of her.
Naturally, I was thinking about finding out what tricks she had and abolishing the crown princess.
Guo Ping tried to protect Lei Luo in front of the emperor, and led the troops into battle with him, so Lei Luo has now become Guo Ping's confidant, but Guo Ping has always been a little wary of Mingjun, after all, he is from Chu.
On this day, Lei Luo came to the prince's mansion to discuss things with the prince, and it happened that Xiao Wanyao was carrying the medicine to the prince, and the guard at the door stopped Xiao Wanyao, "The crown princess, the prince is discussing things with General Lei, and he ordered the servants to guard here and not let anyone disturb him." β
Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, and thought for a moment, "General Lei is the general Lei Luo?" β
The janitor nodded, "It's the general." She stood up slightly, "In that case, I'll come later." Then he was about to leave with Zhu'er, and as soon as he turned around, he heard Guo Ping's voice, "Wan Yao, why are you here?" β
Xiao Wanyao stopped and looked back, Guo Pingzheng and Lei Luo came out of it, she blessed him, "The concubine boiled the medicine and sent it over, I heard that the prince was discussing things, so I plan to come back later." When she said this, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but glance at Lei Luo from the corner of her eyes.
Guo Ping knew that Lei Luo and Xiao Wanyao knew each other, and it was Xiao Wanyao who poisoned General Lei's army at the beginning, so it caused Lei Luo's army to collapse, although it was Xiao Wanyao who saved Lei Luo, but if there was no Xiao Wanyao, Lei Luo would not have been defeated, "I have finished discussing with General Lei and am about to send him away." β
Xiao Wanyao nodded, "Since this is the case, the concubine will not disturb the prince, the concubine will send the medicine inside, and wait for His Royal Highness the prince inside." After saying that, he took Zhu'er and walked inside.
Lei Luo glanced at Xiao Wanyao's back and said lightly, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really like the Crown Princess?" Guo Ping looked at Lei Luo with a smile, "Why are you still worried about what happened at the beginning?" Lei Luo withdrew his gaze and stared at Guo Ping, and said calmly, "The subordinates just don't know that in the Wei State, they could have driven straight into their capital and smashed their capital, but because of this crown princess, they stopped and even withdrew their troops back, is it really worth it?" β
Guo Ping smiled and walked slowly towards the door, Lei Luo walked beside him, "General Lei, if you meet someone you like in the future, you will naturally know whether it is worth it or not, based on what others say to you, you can't understand it at all." β
Lei Luo took a deep breath and looked at the front with far-reaching eyes, "Forgive your subordinates for being rude, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince had better not trust the Crown Princess." Guo Ping smiled and didn't say anything, and saw Guo Xiang walking towards this side from a distance, "I won't send you, someone will send you." β
Lei Luo paused slightly, Guo Ping had already turned around and walked inside, "Brother Lei." Guo Xiang shouted, Lei Luo came back to his senses, looked at her, and when Guo Xiang walked in front of him, he clenched his hands into fists, "It turned out to be a princess." Guo Xiang smiled, "I heard that you are here, so I came to see you." βR1154
