Chapter 81: Discord
Chu Xiangwan felt that since she was already acquainted, there were some things that she still had to turn to the Zimiao clan to protect herself, so she hesitated and said, "Sister Li, I have something I want to ask you, I wonder if you can agree?" ”
"If there is anything you say, I will help you if you can do it." Zimiao nodded.
"I want to leave Donghu and go back to Da Zhou, can my sister help me?"
"This-" Zimiao Yan hesitated, she looked up at Chu Xiangwan, and said apologetically, "Sister, although I am the Yan clan of Donghu, I only have respect and no favor from the king, so I have no ability to let you go at all." Even if I release it today, you'll be caught tomorrow. ”
"But I want to go back, my children are still waiting for me." Chu Xiangwan almost wanted to cry.
"I know, looking at your appearance, it is impossible for you to come back with the king voluntarily, but this place is 108,000 miles away from the capital, how can you go back alone? And this road is not very smooth, you should have understood on the way here, otherwise you will not be caught on the black market to sell, am I right? ”
"Yes, I was escorted to the border, and later I met a horse thief, and I was bought by King Donghu in the black market, and I begged my sister to save me." Saying that, Chu Xiangwan knelt down.
"What are you doing, get up." Zimiao Yan was taken aback, she didn't expect Chu Xiangwan to make this big gift to the party, she immediately helped Chu Xiangwan up, "Sister, there is no need to make this big gift, you can rest assured, as long as I am for a day, I will keep your innocence and will not let the king touch you, but maybe you will suffer some sins in the future, you have to be mentally prepared." As for going back to Da Zhou, mother and son are connected, I understand, I will try my best to find an opportunity to let you go back. ”
"Thank you, sister." Chu Xiangwan stood up from the ground at this time.
"Okay, I should go, it's not appropriate to stay with you for too long, you can rest for a few days and talk about the future." After Zimiao Yanshi finished speaking, she winked at Chu Xiangwan and motioned her to do a show, so the moment she opened the curtain and took the maid out, Chu Xiangwan knelt down, and Zimiao Yanshi said with hatred in his mouth: "Sure enough, it is arrogant and rude, relying on a bit of posture, even my dignified Yanshi is not in his eyes, today I will punish you to kneel here and not eat, see if you dare to speak disrespectfully in the future!" ”
Sure enough, the two side concubines who came in with the Zimiao clan just now stood not far from the tent, and even Jin'er was looking in inadvertently outside, and the Zimiao clan passed by the two side concubines and deliberately said loudly: "This woman has a lesson, if the king really favors her, it is not even more necessary to leave others aside." ”
Jin'er saw that they were all gone, so she entered the tent and said, "How could you offend the Yan family with such a little effort, although you are a woman who hates it, you rarely cause trouble, what did you say?" ”
"Xu is the Huns have long been prejudiced against the Great Zhou, so they made the Yan clan unhappy." Chu Xiangwan knows the intentions of the Zimiao clan, on the surface, the two of them must be so-for-tat in order to keep Chu Xiangwan's innocence, although the king of Donghu has long been not close to the Zimiao clan, but he respects this wife very much, if the Zimiao clan does not like Chu Xiangwan, and obstructs it many times, the king of Donghu will naturally not let the Zimiao clan not come to the stage for a small slave girl, after all, her father King Henan's financial resources are the strongest in the Xiongnu clan, and the king of Donghu will also take care of her wishes for this.
"You're really unlikable." After Jin'er said this, she went out. She has always disliked Chu Xiangwan, this time Chu Xiangwan offended the Zimiao clan, but there is no hope for her future, as long as she captures the heart of King Donghu well, the future will not be worse than in Da Zhou. Some women are like lotus flowers, different streams and dirt can still be straight in the mud, some women are like weeds, although they sway with the wind but can be born at the right time, Chu Xiangwan belongs to the former and Jin'er belongs to the latter, Chu Xiangwan's character is appreciated and helped, but Jin'er doesn't care about these so-called noble, she has her own rules of survival since she was a child in Qinglou, as long as she can live well, she doesn't care what kind of means she uses, how out of the ordinary thing she does, she can't say who is more correct Chu Xiangwan or Jin'er, It's just personal circumstances that determine what kind of path they will take in the future.
Therefore, Chu Xiangwan was still a female slave in Donghu for three years, and although she was tortured, she was still clean, but Jin'er rose to the top and became the most favored new concubine in Donghu. But that's all for later.
In the capital, Huangfu Jingwen lives in anxiety every day, Chu Xiangwan has been missing for more than five months, and since Huangfu Jingwen found someone lost in Cuiwei Pavilion, Chu Xiangwan's whereabouts have become a mystery. Cuiwei Pavilion's mother Hua and the thugs were arrested and put in prison by the order of Huangfu Jingwen, and later they couldn't withstand the torture and finally confided the truth, saying that Chu Xiangwan was sold to the border to be a military prostitute. Huangfu Jingwen was furious and ordered all of them to be secretly executed, and then sent Bian Yi all the way to the border to find people. But Bian Yi found that Chu Xiangwan and they had already been robbed by horse thieves and sold to the black market in Tong'an Town, Bian Yi chased them to the black market, people had already been bought, even the horse thieves had already run away without a trace, and even if they caught the horse thieves, it was useless, even the Geng Ye in the black market didn't know who Chu Xiangwan and they were bought by, and there would be no clues if they had to be traced back, so Bian Yi chased them at the border for a few days and rushed back to report to the emperor.
Gradually, the people in the palace also noticed that something was wrong, the queen said that she was infected with a sudden illness, how could she not show up for half a year, how could this sudden illness come quickly but did not heal, which made people secretly suspicious, rumors spread in the palace, and they speculated that the queen was not so simple as being infected, coupled with the rendering and provocation of people with intentions, this rumor became more and more unseemly, and even Huangfu Jingwen wanted to play the pressure and gradually couldn't suppress it. It wasn't until he killed two little eunuchs who were talking nonsense that the rumors gradually subsided. But how can the rumors in the palace really subside one day, but they don't say it, and they still can't stop wondering in their eyes.
On this day, the Queen Mother went to the imperial study. This time Bian Yi came back, Chu Xiangwan's news was like a stone sinking into the sea, and Huangfu Jingwen's temperament changed greatly, especially for the Queen Mother, it seems that he is no longer as obedient and obedient as he was at the beginning. In fact, the tension between Huangfu Jingwen and the Queen Mother is far more than the outside world imagines, and he has even secretly begun to disintegrate the Queen Mother's power in the court, so that the Queen Mother can no longer interfere in anything. The Queen Mother really underestimated the weight of Chu Xiangwan in Huangfu Jingwen's heart, thinking that sending her away would make the emperor forget this woman over time, but who knew that the rift between mother and son would get bigger and bigger, and it would have been better to kill her with a knife to prevent future troubles, but now that this woman's whereabouts are unknown, it is no different from death. This matter should not be delayed any longer, she came to the imperial study today because she felt that Chu Xiangwan's matter should have an explanation.
