Chapter 180: Back to the Palace
Tang Siqi's eyes sank, and he grabbed her hand tightly, "Wan Yao, you know that I also have a lot of helplessness. This sentence sounds so familiar, to say that Xiao Wanyao has no feelings for Tang Siqi, it is false, but the love in the previous life has been replaced by the hatred of this life, and it is he who single-handedly created such an indifferent and ruthless Xiao Wanyao. Naturally, he had to bear the consequences.
He also said this in his previous life, and said more than once that he was helpless, she believed it, believed it all, and then paid for him wholeheartedly, but what was the result?
She chuckled and raised her head slightly to look directly at him, with indifference, sarcasm, and even a hint of haughty contempt in her eyes,
"The emperor's helplessness, what does it have to do with me? As an emperor, you naturally don't have to think about others, so the emperor doesn't have to think about what others will think about for you. And the power of being an emperor means that you can control the fate of others, isn't it? ”
Tang Siqi took a deep breath, at this time the carriage had already begun to move forward, he stared at her with a far-reaching gaze, at this time Tang Siqi still had Xiao Wanyao in his heart, just like when he was really good to her in his previous life, but that kind of good was too short-lived, and it was quickly wiped out by the ruthless palace battle, so in this life she was determined not to move her true feelings.
"It seems that you have changed a lot in the past few years. I used to think that you were gentle and kind, without any edges and corners, but now I feel that you are full of thorns. ”
Xiao Wanyao lowered her head and smiled lightly, "It's a ball without edges and corners, so it's convenient for others to kick it away when they don't use it, if there are thorns on the body, the person who raises the foot will definitely think about it, even if he really kicks me away, he will definitely be injured." He looked at her, "I don't want to let you down, why are you targeting me so much?" She still smiled, with a hint of teasing, "You just don't want to, but that doesn't mean you can't." ”
She didn't want to continue on this topic, so she interrupted him, "Since you have found me, when will we return to the palace, Your Majesty?" I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, but there are a lot of people who miss me. ”
Tang Siqi's eyes narrowed slightly, he was still thinking about the war on Xue Tianao's side, but since Xiao Wanyao wanted to return to Beijing so much, he nodded and agreed, "I will take you back." Xiao Wanyao sat upright, with a faint smile on her face, and the smile he looked at her seemed to have a sense of victory.
couldn't help but make him think more, why did Xiao Wanyao suddenly appear here? Since she has been running away from him, why did she suddenly 'fall into the net'? "Why?" After a long silence, Tang Siqi spoke again, and Xiao Wanyao turned her head to look at him slightly, "What?" "Why are you here all of a sudden? Haven't you been running away from me? It was not easy to escape from the palace at the beginning, why did it suddenly appear again? ”
Xiao Wanyao smiled, naturally knowing that he had this kind of suspicion in his heart, "I have seen my uncle, he talked about things in the court, my father seems to have encountered some difficulties, although I can't help him much as a daughter, but if the emperor wants to condemn the crime, I still belong to the people of the nine clans." lest the emperor send people to chase and kill again. ”
Tang Siqi paused slightly, so it was so, she knew that she had to deal with Xiao Man, so she appeared. He didn't say anything more, just grabbed her hand and never let go.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Wanyao was directly arranged in the Zining Hall where she lived before. Tang Siqi sent a few maids and eunuchs to serve her, and only stayed with her for two hours before leaving. Because Tang Siqi had already returned to 'come back' before.
So this time he returned to the palace very low-key, only those who knew that he was not in the palace knew that he was back, and some concubines in the harem such as the queen did not come forward to greet him. This was specially ordered by Tang Siqi before he came back.
Xue Tianao's army had retreated to Jiangbei, and the Chu army had won a complete victory this time, occupying a large part of Wei's territory, and Lei Luo summoned all his generals, including Mingjun, to discuss plans to attack Jiangnan.
During the discussion, Mingjun was silent. When all the people dispersed, he found Lei Luo alone, "General Lei, do you know who the leader of the Wei rebels is?" He was invited into the house by Lei Luo, and the maid said lightly after serving tea.
Lei Luo chuckled, "I naturally know who he is, if it weren't for his identity, I wouldn't have transferred you here from Wuzhou." Mingjun took a sip of his teacup, turned his head to look outside, it was early spring, the weather was getting warmer and warmer, and it was a good time for the sun to shine outside, "In that case, does General Lei plan to let me lead troops to attack Mingyu's army?" He looked at the sunlight outside for a moment, then turned back and said.
Lei Luo nodded, "The prince and I continue to go north, and the place south of the Yangtze River will be handed over to you, I know that there is still a bit of a grudge between you and Mingyu, presumably you want to solve it yourself." ”
Mingyu didn't say anything and then stood up, "Then thank you General Lei." After speaking, he turned around and left, the so-called Jiangnan here, part of it belongs to the Wei State, and most of the other place belongs to the Yan State. His ambition is not limited to the small Jiangnan.
Here, Zhenhao and Xue are by Guo Ping's side, they are sent by Mingyu. "His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Xiao has been taken back to the palace by the Emperor of Wei, we have no way to bring her out of the palace, and the two of us will definitely not be able to do it, if there is nothing else, we plan to return to Mingjun."
Guo Ping sat on the chair and smiled faintly, "You two are killers, and you are also the most trustworthy people under Mingjun, if it is just for you to bring her here, my people are enough." Why should I let you come? ”
Zhenhao and Xue were slightly stunned, glanced at each other, Zhenhao hugged his fists and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, could it be that there are other things we need to do?" ”
Guo Ping nodded, and Zhenhao asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants us to do?" Guo Ping stood up with a smile, walked through the gap between the two of them to the door of the hall, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and took a deep breath, it was not far from the day he thought, it was time to change the dressing in early summer, and there was still that person missing from him.
Zhenhao and Xue looked at each other, in fact, before coming, Mingjun had said enough, Guo Ping was the prince of Chu State, and he should be a master by his side, what kind of person he couldn't find, what kind of thing he couldn't do?
So before the two of them came, Mingjun reminded them that they must be careful of Guo Ping, don't look at his gentle and elegant appearance, this person should definitely not be underestimated, and there must be something unknown here, so here in Guo Ping, Zhenhao and Xue are extremely cautious.
Guo Ping was silent for a moment, facing the sun, showing a faint smile, he was not born with a charming face like Xue Tianao, but just like Xiao Wanyao's first impression of him, although he was not as good as him, he looked very attractive when he looked closely, but she knew very little about him, and she didn't know that this person had something better than Xue Tianao.
"You are killers, so naturally you are asked to kill, this is what you are good at." He turned slowly with a smile on his face, as if bringing sunlight into the hall.
The smile is amiable, the tone is gentle and humble, and there is no difference between him and others in his eyes, if he is only allowed to see ordinary people, he is just an ordinary prince in a gorgeous costume. Zhenhao asked again, "I wonder who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants us to kill?" ”
Guo Ping slowly walked between the two of them, his eyes raised slightly to look at Zhen Hao, his thin lips slightly opened and said a person's name, Zhen Hao and Xue were stunned at the same time, and he returned to his seat casually, "Mingjun got military power from General Lei, and then he will attack the rebels of Wei State, and then occupy the south of Wei State, this is what he wants, but my words can also make his hope come to naught." ”
Zhen Hao naturally knew that Mingjun's plan was very important, if he was taken back from his military power, then he couldn't do anything, Zhen Hao clenched his fists, "My subordinates will definitely do it, but it will take some time." Guo Ping tilted his head slightly and glanced at him, "I'll give you time, Lixia." Zhenhao and Xue had no chance to refuse, and the two of them clasped their fists, "Obey." Then he left.
Guo Ping looked at the sky outside, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, Xiao Wanyao, this is what you owe me.
Here, Xue Tianao was sitting in the military camp of the Wei State, with a map spread out in front of the table, but his beautiful eyes did not look at this kind of map, he seemed to be sitting there bored, as if all the defeats here failed to attract his slightest attention, the fingers of his hands were boringly beating each other, there was no one in the room, he was waiting, waiting for a very important person. And this person determines his future success or failure.
In the palace of the Wei Kingdom, Xiao Wanyao changed into a new spring dress that Tang Siqi ordered for her to make, which was still the plain color she liked.
Standing under a tree in the yard, raising her head slightly, the sunshine in the spring was enough to make people unable to open their eyes, she narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, staring at the sun in a daze. Tang Siqi has decided to canonize Concubine Xiao Wanyao, but she just lacks a normal procedure, and she will become his person when that day comes.
"Miss Xiao, if you keep looking at the sun like this, you will lose your eyes." The personal palace maid sent by Tang Siqi walked up to her and said, but she didn't seem to remember her name, and she didn't give her any reaction and still looked up at the air. At this moment, there was a voice outside, "The queen has arrived!" Xiao Wanyao retracted her gaze and looked towards the gate of the courtyard, because she had been staring at the sun just now, she was not used to the brilliance of the moment, and her eyes were dim, only to see a person in a gorgeous costume slowly walking towards this side, followed by a large number of palace maids and eunuchs.
The maid beside Xiao Wanyao hurriedly knelt down, "Slave maid see the queen's mother." However, Xue Qingyi was not looking at the palace maid, but her, "Why don't you kneel when you see this palace?" ”
is still a voice like a silver bell, tactful and melodious, still the world's appearance, thousands of postures, no wonder she will be the queen, no wonder Tang Siqi will care about her so much. She sighed slightly, Tang Siqi didn't care about a concubine in the harem, as an emperor.
Jiangshan is one of his qiē, because with Jiangshan there are countless beauties around, he has no heart, some are just scheming, and he is constantly fighting with every woman in the harem.
He is not only fighting the hearts of these women, but also the family background and life experience behind these women. And these women, in his hands, are a tool, a bargaining chip, and a hostage. She slowly bent her knees and blessed her body, "The grass people saw the queen mother, just now the grass people have been looking at the sky, and they are not used to the light in front of them for a while, and they do not intend to collide with the queen mother. ”
The queen smiled faintly, "I haven't seen you for two years, you are still the same as before, but your temper is a lot warmer, and you are also a lot more sensible, no wonder the emperor has been worried about you." ”R1154
