Zhou Qingqing has a good foundation in the end, and his body has recovered almost after half a month, although it is only a baby in the womb that has not yet taken shape, but every time he thinks of the child who should have fallen to the ground after ten months, disappearing from his womb, it is like a heartache.

No matter how you want to keep Qingshan, you are not afraid of no firewood, and it is difficult to eat and sleep peacefully.

After she got a little better, Feng Xiao came to see her every day, and took care of her diet and daily life.

At this time, it is already late winter, and the swallows have drifted through a few goose feather snowfalls, and it is not until the end of the year that the sun has come out for a few days, which is quite a bit of spring back to the earth.

Zhou Qingqing hasn't said a word to Feng Xiao since that day. Rao is what he said, but he turned a deaf ear.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Feng Xiao came to see her again, took a bunch of plum blossoms and inserted them in the blue and white porcelain vase in the house, and asked with a smile: "Qingqing, the plum blossoms I specially picked from my mother, do you like it?" ”

Zhou Qingqing didn't even look at him, and with a wave of his hand, he smashed the vase to the ground, the cracked vase was scattered, the water flowed to the ground, and the plum blossoms that were waiting to be released withered before they could open.

Feng Xiao looked at the remnants on the ground, was slightly stunned, and squatted down to carefully clean up. After being silent for a while, he looked up at her again and said lightly: "The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, if you don't make sex with me, I will bring Zhou Xun and celebrate the New Year with us." ”

Zhou Qingqing frowned and looked at him, as if he didn't quite believe his words.

Feng Xiao chuckled: "Of course, you are not suitable for taking pictures now, I can only bring him here and let you see how he is doing." ”

Zhou Qingqing was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay." ”

The smile on the corner of Feng Xiao's mouth widened, and he got up and walked in front of her: "Your brother definitely doesn't want to see your sad face, be happy, don't let him worry." He paused, his voice lowered, "I'm sad about you the way you are." ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered: "The way I look is not due to you." ”

Feng Xiao said: "Qingqing, why can't you accept reality? You are now in Beizhao, do you think you can go back? Even if you go back, Qin Zhen thinks that you follow me, can you still go back to the past? There are some things I don't care about, it doesn't mean that Qin Zhen doesn't care either. ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered: "Really? You really don't care? The corners of her lips hooked up a thin smile, and she said word by word, "You really don't care about the couple who I and Qin Zhen have been grinding their ears and temples, and you don't care that I have conceived his child?" Don't lie to yourself Feng Xiao, if you don't care, you won't kill my child? ”

Feng Xiao's gentle and smiling expression suddenly turned cold, reached out and grabbed her cheek, approached her and said, "That's right, I care!" But I care more about the future than I care about the past. In the next few decades, there will only be me in your life, and we will have children for a lifetime, and we will have nothing to do with Qin Zhen. ”

Zhou Qingqing's jaw was pinched by him, but he stubbornly glared at his red eyes.

Feng Xiao looked at her for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to kiss her, but the lips were just pasted, and she left in pain because she was bitten.

Zhou Qingqing's lower mouth was very heavy, and red blood beads immediately appeared on his lips.

He let go of his hand, touched the wound on his lip with his fingers, chuckled lowly, and said unhurriedly: "Qingqing, no matter what I have done, I am sincere to you." ”

Zhou Qingqing only felt funny: "You have been by Qin Zhen's side for ten years, he treats you as a brother, you plot to stab him in the back without saying anything, even his wife is going to be snatched away, you are worthy of being sincere!" ”

Feng Xiao didn't care, but still smiled kindly: "If Qin Zhen is not surnamed Qin, and he is not the martial king of Western Qin, I am willing to treat him as a brother." But Qin Zhen's father and uncle bloodied our Luo clan eighteen years ago, and he and I are destined to have a deep blood feud. As for me bringing you to Beizhao, it has nothing to do with you being Qin Zhen's princess. ”

Zhou Qingqing is reluctant to entangle with him on the topic, a man has been hiberning incognito in a foreign country for ten years since he was a child because of hatred, and this man's heart has already been distorted. Now that she is under house arrest, it is obviously unlikely that she will escape back to Southern Zhou or Western Qin on her own. No matter what, see your younger brother Zhou Xun first before making plans.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Feng Xiao led Zhou Qingqing to the palace, had a reunion dinner with Empress Luo, and returned to the royal mansion, which was almost the second change.

Zhou Qingqing followed him, a little anxious: "Feng Xiao, didn't you say that you would take Zhou Xun to celebrate the New Year with us?" ”

Feng Xiao put her finger to her lips and made a silent gesture, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and said in a low voice: "I promised you, naturally I will not lose my word." Zhou Xun is already in the house, and I asked someone to bring him over. ”

The two walked to the hall, Feng Xiao led her behind the screen, and asked her to sit on the couch: "You wait a while, Zhou Xun will be there soon." ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded, inevitably excited in his heart, he hadn't seen his brother for nearly a year, I don't know how much he has grown up, and what he looks like now.

Feng Xiao looked at her silently for a moment, and suddenly reached out to seal the two acupuncture points on her body.

Zhou Qingqing suddenly couldn't move, and wanted to open his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound, so he could only open a pair of dark eyes and look at him indignantly.

Feng Xiao put her on the couch and said softly: "I said that you and Zhou Xun are not suitable for each other now, you just lie here and look at him through the gap in the screen." Don't worry, when the time comes, I will reunite your family. ”

A subordinate voice came from outside: "Lord Wang, the proton is here!" ”

Feng Xiao snorted, looked at Zhou Qingqing, a smile curled up at the corner of her lips, and she stepped forward and kissed her on the forehead. Then he got up and walked out of the screen.

Zhou Xun is now over 14 years old, although he still has the immaturity and youthfulness of a young man on his face, he is already a young man, and he has a heroic demeanor. Feng Xiao stepped forward and said with a smile: "The king of the county, today's New Year, the king of the county will be taken to the mansion early in the morning, but he is entangled in trivial matters, and he has not come back until now. ”

Zhou Xun has been in Beizhao for more than two months, although he can't figure out why Beizhao designated him, the powerless and powerless county king, to be a proton, but in the two months in Yandu, in addition to not being free, in terms of food and clothing, Beizhao is very preferential. It's even better than in Jinling.

This wise king, who is in charge of the country, has seen him a few times, and his demeanor and speech are very gentle and polite, which makes him feel very good.

The young man smiled: "The prince is polite, the people in the house are extremely thoughtful and proper, which makes me feel a little at home." ”

Feng Xiao led him to sit down at the pear blossom wooden table, and ordered his subordinates to serve wine and side dishes, and said with a smile: "This is the first time that the king of the county has left home for the New Year, right?" ”

Zhou Xun nodded, and in his beautiful eyes, his eyes dimmed slightly: "I don't know how my sisters and brothers are at home?" This year, my eldest sister is gone, and my eldest brother has left home again, but I am afraid that several of their women and children will not have a good time in Jinling this year. ”

Feng Xiao smiled slightly: "The king of the county doesn't have to worry too much, when the Northern Zhao and Southern Zhou destroy the Western Qin, our two countries will be good neighbors and friendly from now on, and the prince of Northern Zhao will come back, and you can go back and reunite with your family." ”

When Zhou Xun heard this, Junxiu's eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but punch the table hard, and said angrily: "When the two countries fight, what does it have to do with women?" Pity my sister was treated as a pawn and a relative, and was killed by the hateful prince of Western Qin, I must avenge this revenge. ”

The servant served wine and food. Feng Xiao poured him a glass of wine slowly: "We will consider the matter of revenge in the long run." However, I think that if the sister of the king of the county is alive, she must hope that her beloved brother can live a safe and happy life. ”

Zhou Xun took a sip of wine and whispered: "Lord Wang, I heard that you were in Beizhao before, have you seen my sister?" ”

Feng Xiao nodded: "I've seen it." The princess is very optimistic and does not complain. Just ......"

Zhou Xun's tears flowed out: "It's useless to blame me, I can't even protect my own sister." ”

Feng Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too sad the king of the county, when I was in Western Qin, the princess treated me kindly, you are her own brother, and I will treat you as my own brother in the future." ”

Zhou Xun looked up at him and choked up, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Zhou Qingqing, who was behind the screen, saw his own brother through the cracks, and was bewitched and deceived by this man with wolf ambitions, just like himself at the beginning, he wanted to struggle angrily, but because the acupoint was sealed, there was nothing else except a faint moan and groan.

Although her movement was very small, it was heard by Zhou Xun outside. He blinked curiously, looked at the screen, and asked, "Is there anyone in there?" ”

Feng Xiao smiled: "It's this king Neizi, who has been infected with some wind chill recently, and is resting on the couch, and the next time the king of the county comes to visit, I will bring Neiko to entertain him." ”

Zhou Xun was young and didn't think much about it. He came to Northern Zhao for two months, although he had seen this Rui Wang several times, but this prison prince was not only outside, but even in Northern Zhao was very mysterious, he had only heard that he had been in Western Qin for many years, and he didn't know anything else, let alone heard that he had a marriage match. However, he is over 20 years old, and it is normal for him to marry a wife and have children.

Zhou Xun smiled: "Since the princess is infected with wind and cold, she will rest more." Now that spring is about to begin, I am afraid that there will be another cold spring. ”

Feng Xiao said with a smile: "Neizi is a southerner, and he has not been in Yandu for a long time, so it is inevitable that he will not adapt to the water and soil. I'm so busy with routine work that sometimes I can't take care of it, and I don't want to let her catch the cold. ”

Zhou Xun was a little straight: "Then the prince should pay more attention." This wind cold can be big or small, and my father died of a serious illness because of the wind cold. ”

Feng Xiao nodded: "What the county king said is that it seems that I should take more care of her." ”

The two drank two more glasses of wine, ate some side dishes, and talked for a while. It's like a pair of good brothers.

Until the third watch, Zhou Xun, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, was a little drunk and got up to say goodbye to Feng Xiao. The subordinate helped him, and as if he remembered something, he said to the screen: "Princess, you have to take care of your body, don't let the prince worry." ”

Feng Xiao chuckled lowly and watched him being helped out by two entourage.

When the courtyard was quiet, Feng Xiao turned behind the screen unhurriedly. Zhou Qingqing, who couldn't move yet, looked at him angrily, eager to see a hole in his face. He sat down next to her and untied her acupuncture

Zhou Qingqing was angry, and he was about to swing his fist at him when he got up, but the acupoint was sealed for too long, and he didn't have any strength in his hands, and before he got close to him, he easily grabbed his hands and pulled them into his arms.

He drank the wine, and the rich smell of wine came to his nose, with a scorching heat, covering Zhou Qingqing's ears, and said softly like grinding his ears and temples: "You have seen it all!" Your brother is doing well in Beizhao, as long as you are well-behaved, I will reunite your family. I would treat them like family. ”

Zhou Qingqing couldn't break away from him, and he no longer resisted, so he only asked with a cold face: "What if I don't?" ”

He reached out and rubbed her face gently, "You will." Even if you don't now, when Qin Zhen dies, Western Qin falls, and Southern Zhou is swallowed, you will agree. When the time comes, I will crown Zhou Xun as the king of Jinling and let him take charge of the current Southern Zhou Dynasty, what do you think? ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered: "Feng Xiao, you think that the world can be as you wish, not to mention Western Qin, even Southern Zhou, I don't think you can swallow it lightly." ”

Feng Xiao laughed: "Really? Then we'll see. He paused, remembered something, and said, "When spring begins, I will take Zhou Xun to Xishan for spring hunting, and I will give you a few muntjac back!" ”

It's March.

Although Yandu is a cold place, in mid-March, it is also the beginning of spring. Xishan was originally the hunting ground of Zhou Li, the king of Yan, and now that the Northern Zhao occupies the Yan capital, the Xishan has become the hunting place of the Northern Zhao royal family.

Since Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Xun and Feng Xiao had a heart-to-heart long talk, and he felt more and more close to this Rui King. He was called to spring hunting, and he was very excited.

Xishan is half a day away from the palace, and after staying in the palace on the mountain, the spring hunt officially begins.

Feng Xiao handed a quiver to Zhou Xun and said with a smile: "My princess has been talking about muntjac meat recently, if you hit me a little." ”

Zhou Xun smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, if I get it, all of it will be given to the princess." ”

Unlike the prairie paddock, the mountain hunting ground cannot be ridden on horseback and relies on two legs. This is quite difficult for the Northern Zhao people who are accustomed to riding horses, but when Zhou Xun was in Jinling before, he often went into the mountains with Nie Jin to hunt, and it was difficult for him to be on the mountain.

Originally, he was still following a few children of the Northern Zhao Imperial Family, but it didn't take long for him to get rid of the others and get into the forest alone. After striking two hares, he was about to turn back and make peace, when he suddenly saw the grass in front of him faintly stirring.

He squinted, drew an arrow from his quiver, and shot it at the moving grass. The arrow swished into the grass, but there was no movement, still bits and pieces. Strange to him, he drew another arrow and shot it, but it sank into the grass again, and there was no other movement.

Zhou Xun thought for a moment, cautiously stepped forward, and when he walked to the grass, he tiptoed away, but the next moment the other person had already covered his mouth and was overwhelmed in the grass.

"Don't make a sound, someone's coming!" The low voice couldn't be more familiar, Zhou Xun's eyes widened and he held his breath.

Two children of the Northern Zhao royal family came over: "Hey, there are two hares here, and I don't know who hit them, so I just threw them here." Let's take a bargain. ”

Watching the two of them walk away with the hare, the big hand on Zhou Xun's mouth let go. He looked at the people above excitedly, and suppressed the voice that was about to come out: "Ah Jin, why are you here?" ”

Nie Jin squinted and looked around, and whispered, "You come with me!" Don't let the people of Beizhao find out. ”

Zhou Xun nodded, and the cat followed him.

The two walked into a hidden cave and saw a person sitting inside.

Zhou Xun couldn't wait to hold Nie Jin and said, "Ah Jin, what's going on?" Why are you here? Who is he? ”

Qin Zhen stood up and bowed to him: "I'm Qin Zhen." ”

Zhou Xun was shocked: "You ...... You are the Western Qin Wu King who killed my sister? ”

After speaking, he was about to draw his sword and step forward, but was stopped by Nie Jin.

"Ah Jin, what the hell is going on? Didn't you go back to the Southern Zhou court? Why are you with him again? ”

Nie Jin said: "Shizi, do you think I will ignore the life and death of the young lady to report to the Southern Zhou Imperial Court?" ”

Zhou Xun hesitated and said: "I know you won't, but the ambition of the wolf son of Xiqin, for the sake of the overall situation, I also think it is reasonable for you to do this kind of thing." ”

At that time, Northern Zhao and Southern Zhou formed an alliance, and he didn't know what was going on. I only vaguely heard that Western Qin was ambitious, and his relatives were just a pretense, and he just wanted to unify the world in one fell swoop after cultivating and recuperating. At that time, he heard that it was Nie Jin who reported the news, although he was a little annoyed that he ignored his sister's life and death, but he also felt that the overall situation was excusable.

Nie Jin said: "Shizi, the 50,000 army of Western Qin did not want to take advantage of the fisherman, but was ready to aid the Southern Zhou to prevent the Northern **, but I didn't expect to be used by the Northern Zhao. I originally wanted to report to the Southern Zhou about the Western Qin's combat strategy, but I didn't expect to be plotted halfway, and then reported to the Southern Zhou court in my name, saying that the Western Qin wolf was ambitious and asked him to cooperate with the Northern Zhao. He paused, "The person who plotted against me is Luo Nianzhi, the king of Northern Zhao Rui." ”

Zhou Xun was incredulous: "What? ”

Nie Jin said: "He has been dormant in Western Qin for ten years, and this qiē is planned by him. His own surname is Luo, and he is the youngest son of Luo Jing, the king of Shu in Shu, and he did this to take revenge. His target was not only Western Qin, but also Southern Zhou. ”

"Locke? Is it the Luo clan who was exterminated by Western Qin? ”

Nie Jin nodded: "There are still ...... Your sister is not dead. She was taken captive by King Rui to Northern Zhao, and she should be in the palace now. ”

"What? Sister didn't die? Zhou Xun was completely stunned this time.

Qin Zhen, who was speechless, finally spoke: "You want to find a way to meet her, and tell him that Nie Jin and I came to Beizhao and would rescue her." But King Wise is heavily guarded, and we have never been able to find a chance. After surveying for a long time, only this western mountain is suitable for concealment, and it is an excellent place to escape. You find an opportunity to sue her, let her find an excuse to come to Xishan, and we will leave together. ”

Zhou Xun looked at this strange man, which was completely different from the Western Qin Martial King he imagined. He could not believe Qin Zhen, but he could not believe Nie Jin.
