Chapter 26: Means
In the middle of the night, in the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom
A dark figure climbed up to a mansion, and the figure quickly disappeared into the embroidery building.
"Why are you still coming to me? Aren't you afraid of being caught by the soldiers of Da Zhou? β
Li Xin'er stared at King Zhao who jumped down from the window, the moonlight shone on his handsome face as sharp as a knife, coupled with the affection on his face, her heart slowly began to melt, but she kept warning herself that she couldn't show weakness, she couldn't be tempted first, and a man had to be caught in his hands if he wanted to be captured.
"Xin'er, if I don't come to you, who else can I go to? You know, I only have you in my heart without her. Besides, can those wine bags and rice bags of the Great Zhou Kingdom catch me? Xin'er, you still care about me, since you care about me, it means that you have me in your heart, so why do you still reject me? Do you know how much my heart hurts? β
King Zhao tightly held Li Xin'er's soft and boneless hand, and said infatuatedly: "Xin'er, follow me back to Shangguo." β
Li Xin'er wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't do it in the face of King Shangzhao's infatuated gaze, so she could only bite her thin lip and say, "No, I don't want to hurt anyone, including Sister Qin." β
Li Xin'er's words hit King Zhao hard, and his expression dimmed, not at all like King Zhao who was pointing out the country on the battlefield, and the silence on his face made Li Xin'er feel a pain in his heart.
For King Zhao, she is not unmoved, she also wants to leave a qiΔ and follow King Zhao, but she wants to get more, she wants to get King Zhao completely, and wants to be his concubine, so she can only do this, torturing King Zhao and at the same time torturing herself.
"Brother Xiao, don't be like this, in fact, Sister Qin is a good woman."
King Zhao's face showed pain, and he said in disbelief: "Xin'er, do you want to push me to other women?" If so, then I will fulfill you, and I will treat Qin Er well. β
Li Xin'er stared at her brass bell-like eyes, which were full of affection and struggle, "Brother Xiao, why are you forcing me?" You know, I ......."
Li Xin'er's tears slid down in a stream, and the tip of her little nose turned red, how could King Zhao bear to see his most beloved woman in such pain, he held her in his arms with one hand. He was really hit by Xin'er's words just now, but just now he was moved by her again. It turned out that this was love, and he hugged this crystal-clear and kind person tightly, but he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of hurting her.
"Brother Xiao, don't be like this, you are like this, it is easy for me to change my mind."
"It's better to change, Xin'er, follow me back to Shangguo, I will definitely treat you well, you know, it is impossible for me to be with Qin Siyu, she doesn't understand me, she is afraid of me, I have always been so weak and incompetent in the women of the Great Zhou Kingdom, until I met you, you are so smart and considerate, bright and moving, empathetic, your conduct is a model for our Shangguo women." You can rest assured, go back with me, I will make up the identity of a noble girl of the merchant country for you, and I will give you the glory and wealth, so, Xin'er, don't refuse me. β
Although Li Xin'er wanted to agree, she told her reason, not for the time being, Qin Siyu is still there, even if she returns to Shang with King Zhao, she will only be a side concubine, she doesn't want to, she wants to be a high-ranking concubine, Qin Siyu doesn't understand King Zhao at all, why can she be King Zhao's concubine.
After some ideological struggle, Li Xin'er pushed King Zhao away, and she reluctantly said: "In this life, maybe I will never be tempted by other men again, I love Brother Xiao, I will always maintain this loving mentality, but I can't go back to Shangguo with you." I can't hurt Sister Qin, Sister Qin is Brother Xiao's concubine, and the person who will grow old hand in hand with Brother Xiao should be her. I won't ruin other people's marriages, so, Brother Xiao, please forget me, forget that I love you so much. β
"No, Xin'er, you can't be so ruthless, how can you make me forget you, you are so beautiful. Don't worry, I will let you be my concubine Xiao Jingrui, you wait for me. β
After King Zhao finished speaking, he imprinted a deep kiss on Li Xin'er's forehead, and then turned over and left through the window.
Li Xin'er looked at the back of King Zhao leaving, and said to the hazy moonlight: "I'm sorry, Sister Qin, I don't want to marry the Marquis of tuberculosis, so I can only sacrifice you." β
Qin Siyu struggled to eliminate the food on the table, and when she was walking, she remembered that she hadn't visited Sister-in-law Liu for several days, so she moved to Sister-in-law Liu's room.
Sister-in-law Liu didn't expect Qin Siyu to come over, so there were still Hua Jin's medical tools on the table, and they hadn't been cleaned up yet.
Sister-in-law Liu said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, let the princess see that the slave maid is so messy here, and the slave maid will clean up now." β
Qin Siyu stopped Sister-in-law Liu's movements, worried that she would pull the wound, the injury on Sister-in-law Liu's body was much better under Hua Jin's careful care, but the scar on her face was too deep, and Hua Jin could only make it lighten in color, not completely disappear.
"Sister-in-law Liu, you just sit well, it's not good to get a wound later. I should say that the person I am sorry for is me, the scar on your face is because of me, and I will remember this incident for the rest of my life. β
If you are weak, you can only be bullied, no matter where you are.
"The princess must not say this, the life of the slave and maid belongs to the princess, and for the sake of the princess, the slave and maid are willing to do anything."
"Sister-in-law Liu, you can rest assured, now that the two concubines and King Zhao have started to fight openly and secretly, Concubine Ouyang has always wanted King Zhao to marry the noble daughter of the Shang Kingdom, and now she must try her best to let King Zhao leave Li Xin'er, and of course the Ling family will not do what Concubine Fang wants, she should have let her ears and eyes try her best to prevent King Zhao from returning to Shangchi. Now that it's my chance, I'm going to double down on those who bullied you. β
"But although the slave and maid were saved by the princess, the reputation of the slave and maid is afraid and dirty, and I am afraid that it will tarnish the reputation of the princess, if so, it is not a pity for the slave and maid to die."
Ancient women attached the most importance to loyalty and reputation, and if there were any rumors in the future, I was afraid that Sister-in-law Liu would be even more shameless to stay by her side.
It just so happened that she had an idea in her mind.
"Sister-in-law Liu, although you cultivate well, I need you to help me outside the palace in the future."
At the same time, King Zhao summoned his personal soldiers, "Order Sun Fei to go to the palace to sue SΓΉ Niang, this king doesn't want to see Qin Siyu again." β
The soldier said with a sad face: "General Sun Fei is highly capable, if he is allowed to leave now, wouldn't the prince's situation be even more difficult?" β
King Zhao waved his hand, and the wine glass in his hand smashed on the soldier, "You don't listen to the words of this king?" β
The soldier was frightened and trembled, "Yes, my lord." β
King Zhao's eyes showed hatred, Qin Siyu, don't blame this king, if you want to blame, blame you for hindering me and Xin'er.
Zhaoyang Palace
Ouyang's personal Aunt Magu gently beat Ouyang's back, only to see Ouyang's face full of sadness, and comforted: "Master, the prince will be fine." β
"That son of a, does he only have women in his eyes, and he doesn't want a good country?" The more Ouyang thought about it, the more upset he became, Sun Fei passed the flying pigeon to the book, and King Zhao sent him back to be her right and left hand, vowing to eradicate Qin Siyu.
King Zhao is now in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he doesn't care about his own life, just about getting rid of Qin Siyu.
A weak woman, helpless in the Shang Kingdom, what is the difficulty of getting rid of her, but it has been in the way of the Great Zhou Kingdom and let her go.
Magu is Ouyang's childhood maidservant, and has been serving her until now, never married, this loyalty, Ouyang has never treated her as an outsider, and only in front of her will she expose her worries.
"Master, don't be angry, maybe King Zhao has other plans to go to Da Zhou this time, and besides, King Zhao went to Shangguo to find Miss Li Xin'er, this is just Qin Siyu's one-sided words, and you can't believe it all."
Magu's words woke her up, she always felt that Qin Siyu had changed when she came back this time, her eyes were very sharp, she didn't have the cowardice she had before, she knew how to play tricks, although Qin Siyu deliberately pretended, Ouyang still saw it, she could pretend to be anything else, but the momentum on her body couldn't be pretended.
"King Zhao sneaked into the Great Zhou for the sake of the Shang Kingdom, I'm really worried."
Ouyang's words blocked all speculation, and her meaning was very clear, King Zhao's adventure to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time was for the Shang Kingdom. Magu quickly understood what she meant, and if she knew to the people that their ruler was disregarding his own safety for a woman, she really didn't know what she would think of King Zhao.
Ouyang's eyes showed murderous aura, and the jade beads in his hand snapped, shattered into ashes, and sprinkled all over the ground.
In this world, there are only dead people who don't talk nonsense.
