"Ten miles from the Valley of Freedom?" The prince was stunned and said, "The prince wants too much, in Yuanchu, only the hereditary marquis can enjoy the fief, does the prince still want to be a heterosexual marquis?" ”

Xiaoyaozi smiled and said, "I'm afraid the prince misunderstood what I meant. I don't want a fief, let alone a throne. What I want is that this area is completely independent of Yuan Chu. You can rest assured that I am not interested in the imperial power of the world, I just want to have my own side of the world. ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at the prince's not too optimistic face, and continued: "For the prince, it is very cost-effective to exchange this small piece of land for the people of your entire city of Kyoto. ”

"Impossible!" The crown prince flatly refused, "Don't say that the palace has no authority to agree to your request now, and even if there is, presumably the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree." Such a deal is a disgrace to the Royals. ”

"The prince can go back and think about it, the lord of this valley has nothing else, but the time is still free." Xiaoyaozi turned around, turned his back to the prince, and his voice came faintly, "But those people may not have so much time"

Seven days later, the prince still sent a letter of commitment and a gold medal representing the prince's identity.

As the crown prince, he did not have the power to decide the ownership of Yuan Chu's land, but promised to ensure the safety of Kyoto as long as Xiaoyaozi lifted the plague. Then he ascended the throne one day, and allowed him to be free for ten miles in the valley, as evidenced by the token.

Xiaoyaozi smiled and put the pledge and the gold medal in the wooden box. Afterwards, I took someone to Kyoto.

Five days after Xiaoyaozi arrived, the epidemic was brought under control. Ten days later, most people returned to normal, and half a month later, the epidemic crisis was lifted.

At that time, the crown princess never understood why the prince would agree to such conditions. But the moment she saw the epidemic lifted, she seemed to understand.

There are actually no important towns within a radius of ten miles from the valley, only a few scattered villages. Compared to the safety of the whole of Kyoto, it is not a loss to give that place to Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyao Valley can't raise troops, and Jingding Prefecture is monitoring it at all times, so even if Xiaoyao Valley is independent of Yuan Chu, it is not dangerous to Yuan Chu.

Three months later, the emperor's condition deteriorated and he died.

The crown prince succeeded to the throne.

Same. Gu Suyu and Xiaoyaozi got married.

As previously agreed. Three days after the crown prince who had just ascended the throne as emperor, he sent his father-in-law to send a holy decree, and Xiaoyaozi returned the token.

At the same time, the crown princess who became the queen also sent someone to send the so-called "marriage gift" - three dancing girls in the city.

How could Gu Suyu not know what kind of heart she had, not only accepted it with a smile. And he returned the salute. This gift is believed in Emperor Gongsu (for ease of reading. The emperor below is called Emperor Gongsu) will not refuse.

And the return gift given by Gu Suyu is one that looks six or seven points similar to her. But she is a gentle, charming woman than her. And this woman is the eternal thorn in the heart of the queen (that is, the later empress dowager) over the years - Concubine Xiang.

Concubine Xiang was originally a woman who fell into the dust, but she was rescued by Gu Suyu because she fled. After Gu Suyu noticed that her appearance was similar to herself, she thought about it.

Her aunt Suyu has always been kind to repay her kindness. There are people who have revenge. Emperor Gongsu lied to her, and the queen calculated her, how could she make them feel better, she must return a tooth for a tooth. So Concubine Xiang was born.

How can a lady be as beautiful as a woman who has been in the Qinglou in the affairs of men and women, and she still has that face.

Sure enough, Concubine Xiang did not disappoint her, and Emperor Gongsu was completely immersed in the gentle township. And the queen during that time had no way to serve the emperor because she was pregnant with Liujia, which can be said to be an indirect opportunity for Concubine Xiang.

Emperor Gongsu and Concubine Xiang traveled to the lake, and as soon as Chrysostom opened, he even changed the name of the lake directly for Concubine Xiang's fluttering words.

When this matter reached the queen's ears, it was undoubtedly another anger, which directly led to premature birth.

But her luck was also good, although she was born prematurely, she still gave birth to the prince smoothly.

On the other side, Gu Suyu and Xiaoyaozi are living a happy life in Xiaoyao Valley, and Gu Suyu originally didn't have such a deep love for Xiaoyaozi. But after fighting with him for a long time, I slowly developed feelings, and Xiaoyaozi had something in her body that she didn't have - human sophistication.

Gu Suyu has always not liked people and things outside, she thought that the beasts in the deep mountains were the most terrible things, but when she got out of the mountains, she knew that there was something more terrible than beasts in the world, that is, people.

Therefore, after Gu Suyu and Xiaoyaozi got married, they rarely went out of Xiaoyao Valley. She planted all kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs outside the valley according to what Xiaoyaozi taught her, and developed poisons according to pharmacology.

Of course, after Xiaoyaozi knew that Gu Suyu's blood could cure all kinds of poisons, he also did a comprehensive study of her blood. In the end, it was discovered that the reason why Xiaoyu's blood can detoxify all kinds of poisons is only because her blood itself contains highly poisonous. Because the poison in the blood far overwhelmed all the poisonous things that Gu Suyu had eaten before, she would be fine.

Gu Suyu was not only not worried when she found out, but was a little happy. Because she began to develop poisons made from her own blood.

Concubine Xiang is becoming more and more favored, which makes the queen see her own crisis. After giving birth to the prince, she began to plan to get rid of this thorn in her eye, but she didn't know that Concubine Xiang was not as weak and easy to deal with as she seemed.

She has Gu Suyu personally trained her, so naturally she will not be powerless, but she is extremely clever to hide her strength. not only hid her strength, but also repeatedly used the queen's design to drive a wedge between her and Emperor Gongsu's already precarious relationship.

Even Gu Suyu had to admit that Concubine Xiang was born to be a woman suitable for living in the palace. She knows how to take advantage of men's affection and affection for her.

The queen's repeated failures made her dare not act rashly again, until the news of Concubine Xiang's pregnancy came out, and the queen couldn't hold it anymore.

Since she had no way to deal with her, the queen chose to recruit a show girl. Men like the new and hate the old, as long as there is a woman who is more beautiful and outstanding than Concubine Xiang, Concubine Xiang's grace will come to an end.

Sure enough, things went very smoothly, because of Concubine Xiang's pregnancy and the virtuous image she tried her best to maintain in front of the emperor. , coupled with the newcomers who have been raised, she has regained the emperor's heart.

For two months in a row, the emperor would often come to his palace, sometimes to accompany her to dinner, sometimes to tease the prince, and she went to bed again.

What made her even happier was that the child in Concubine Xiang's womb finally had a murdered miscarriage. Concubine Xiang's vitality was greatly damaged, and the imperial doctor said that it would be extremely difficult to get pregnant in the future.

Although the emperor has been with Concubine Xiang for the past few days because of pity and guilt in his heart. But the queen's heart has eased a lot, as long as there are no heirs, no matter how favored Concubine Xiang is, she has no future.

What made her even happier was that a month later, she was diagnosed as pregnant by the doctor. (To be continued......)
