Xiao Nansheng, who didn't have to continue to pretend to be drunk, shook his head with a chuckle when he heard this, then stood up and shook his dragon robe, and walked unhurriedly towards the bed not far away.

Qu Wurong watched his movements quietly and did not speak.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Xiao Nansheng raised his eyes to look at the person who was still standing at the table, and said with a smile: "Today is the wedding day of the two of us, if I don't come to you, what will others think?" After speaking, without waiting for Qu Wurong to answer, he continued to say to himself: "They will think that you are not valued by me at all, think about it, you came to Bailiao by yourself, you have traveled thousands of miles and left your hometown alone, and you have no foundation at all, if you lose the protection of Youyou, then will you be able to live a better life in Bailiao in the future?" ”

What he said was indisputable facts, and Qu Wurong knew it very well in her heart, but she still didn't want to share a room with him alone, "Then you can sleep here tonight, and I'll go somewhere else." After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the dormitory without looking back.

As soon as she took two steps, she heard Xiao Nansheng's voice ring behind her: "I'm starting to suspect now, you may not be as powerful as the rumors I heard, it turns out that the rumors are just rumors." ”

Qu Wurong paused when he heard this, and slowly turned around, "Those things are originally nothing. ”

"Really?" Xiao Nansheng showed a noncommittal expression, "But I heard that the previous emperor of your Great Liang has been in power for nearly twenty years, not to mention his outstanding achievements, but he is also diligent, since you appeared, the court has inexplicably appeared to speak to him, and even his own son is going to rebel, if these things have nothing to do with you, I will not believe it!" ”

Listening to his words, Qu Wurong's heart sank, he really knew a lot!

"So what?"

"So, I hope you can help me." Xiao Nansheng said, seeing that her expression was a little defensive of herself, he waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be so nervous, even if those things are true, it is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”

Qu Wurong stared at him for a moment, and finally turned back to the hall, "How do you want me to help you?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you about these things slowly in the future." Seeing that she finally let down her guard, the look on Xiao Nansheng's face eased a lot, "And if you can really worry about me, after the problems are solved, I can also consider letting you leave here." ”

This bargaining chip is undoubtedly full of temptation for Qu Wurong, "Is this true? ”

"You don't joke."

Qu Wurong was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I promise you, but ......"

"I know what you're trying to say." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Nansheng had already guessed what she wanted to say, after all, she had also mentioned to herself before this, "Don't worry, I am the king of a country, and I am not a ruffian, I will not force you!" ”

"That's good." Hearing that he personally promised not to touch himself, Qu Wurong's heart finally settled down.

Seeing her relieved look, Xiao Nansheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "I'm really curious, do you love him so much?" Love so much that even if he abandons you for the sake of his country, you still have to guard him like a jade? ”

Qu Wurong glanced at him and replied faintly, "You won't understand." ”

Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Wu'an did choose the former between Jiangshan Sheji and her as he just said, but she knew very well in her heart that her weight in Shen Wu'an's heart was far heavier than these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! It is precisely because of this that she does not want him to be in a dilemma, and she does not want him to risk his life!

"Okay, I don't understand." Seeing that she didn't seem to be willing to say, Xiao Nansheng didn't continue to ask, glanced out the window and said, "It's not early, let's rest early." ”

When it comes to resting, there is only one bed in this dormitory, no matter how unwilling Qu Wurong is to share the bed with him, but there is nothing she can do at this time, she can't let the dignified Bailiao Kingdom dominate the floor, right? What's more, she can't let others know that they are actually a nominal couple!

So she could only walk to the bed hard, and lay down in her clothes under Xiao Nansheng's playful gaze.

Looking at her delicate body with her back to her and her stiff body, Xiao Nansheng changed from watching a good show at the beginning to crying and laughing, "You don't believe me so much? ”

"Don't believe it!" Qu Wurong turned his back to him and replied succinctly.

Hearing her answer, Xiao Nansheng felt very shameless and touched her nose with her hand, but she also knew in her heart that she was still worried about the things that caused her to stay away from her hometown and "abandon her husband and children", so she stopped worrying about her and lay down on the other side of the bed by herself.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, when Qu Wurong woke up, the people around him were gone. And she herself remained in the same position she had fallen asleep in the previous night, lying motionless all night, her left arm almost numb, and she sat up while gently kneading her stiff arm with her hands.

Hearing her move, Huang Li and Huang Ying walked in from outside the hall, holding things for washing in their hands, seeing her movements, Huang Ying asked carefully, "Madam, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope." Qu Wurong shook his head gently, "It's just that my arm is a little sore." ”

"Let the slave come and pinch it for you." Huang Ying said, sat down beside her, asked where her arm was sore, and began to knead it for her.

Her kneading strength was moderate and her technique was skillful, as if she had been specially trained, and after a while, Qu Wurong felt that her entire arm was a lot more comfortable, "Okay." ”

"Then Madame, get up and wash up." Hearing her say this, Huang Ying stopped what she was doing, and after serving her with Huang Li and the two of them, she had brought breakfast in.

The breakfast was very rich, probably to take care of her taste, and there were two dishes unique to Daliang, which made Qu Wurong feel more cordial in his heart, and his appetite was much better.

"By the way, ma'am." Halfway through breakfast, Huang Li suddenly remembered something and said, "Before the lord left in the morning, he specially explained that he asked you to go to the imperial study to find him after breakfast." ”

Qu Wurong was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly remembered what Xiao Nansheng had said to him last night, so he nodded and responded: "I know." ”

After finishing breakfast, Qu Wurong did not delay much, and went to the imperial study under the leadership of Huang Ying, the eunuchs guarding outside seemed to have been instructed a long time ago, and they didn't go in to report after seeing them, so they directly pushed open the heavy door, "Madam, please come in." ”

Qu Wurong walked in, and at first glance, he saw Xiao Nansheng sitting on the dragon chair burying his head and writing hard, and when he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and glanced at her hurriedly, and soon buried it again, "You sit down first." ”

Now he is not the same as last night, and what Qu Wurong saw before, before today, Qu Wurong's impression of him was limited to hanging children, flamboyant tongue, and even some ruffian; But what I see now is a calm and introverted monarch, exuding an innate kingly aura from top to bottom.

It's hard to imagine that such two temperaments that are completely untouched will be felt from the same person! What an elusive man!

After taking that look, Qu Wurong looked away and sat down on the chair next to him.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Nansheng put down the pen in his hand, picked up the newly filled letterhead and shook it, and then put it into an envelope.

After doing this, he raised his head and glanced at the person sitting below, and said lightly: "I have just received news that the Xisai State has sent envoys to Daliang to sue for peace, and it seems that they are preparing to withdraw their troops. ”

Such a seemingly clueless sentence shocked Qu Wurong's heart slightly, she was forced to agree to Dao Bailiao to come and kiss because of Xisai's approach to Daliang step by step, and now when she hears such good news, it can be regarded as her sacrifice was not in vain.

"You didn't come to me today just to sue me about this, right?"

"Naturally!" Hearing her ask, Xiao Nansheng generously admitted, "I came to you today for something else, and this matter is just by the way, because I think you might want to know." ”

Qu Wurong didn't answer him, "Then you can get down to business now." ”

"I want you to help, and I always want you to know the specific shape of Bailiao at the moment." Xiao Nansheng said, leaning on the back of the dragon chair relaxedly, "It's better for me to tell you in person than to let others pass the word." ”

After saying this, he didn't continue, but paused for a moment, as if thinking about where to start, and Qu Wurong didn't urge him, just quietly waited for him to speak.

After about half a cup of tea, Xiao Nansheng finally said again: "Five years ago, that is, the year before my father died, Bailiao experienced a catastrophe that almost wiped out the country, and that turmoil lasted for more than two years, and it was not until a few years ago that it finally settled down. ”

When he said this, there was a faint melancholy in his tone, Qu Wurong pursed his lips and did not answer.

It's not that she is indifferent to what Xiao Nansheng said, but she really doesn't know what to say. When she was tortured to death by Shen Duanlang in the previous life, Xiao Nansheng should not have been ten years old, and it was already fourteen years after she was reborn as Qu Wurong, and she didn't have any memory during the time in between, so she didn't know what he said.

Fortunately, Xiao Nansheng didn't care about her silence, and said to himself: "That year, my father was seriously ill, and the second brother who was guarding the border city came back to visit, but he was ambushed on the way. ”

The second brother returned to Xiaocheng desperately and reported the matter to his father, who was furious when he heard it and ordered someone to investigate the murderer thoroughly, but it turned out that it was my eldest brother, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, who instructed him behind his back. At that time, my father was already at the end of his power, and the ministers of the court were divided over the successor of the next lord, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that the two brothers with outstanding military achievements would threaten him, so he wanted to get rid of him before he returned to Xiaocheng, so as to ensure that he could ascend to the throne of the lord of the country smoothly. ”

When he talked about these past events, his tone sounded very calm, as if he was talking about something that didn't concern him, Qu Wurong couldn't help but ask, "What about you?" ”
