95. Marriage
But fortunately, the Han Palace can't get news of Chang Xi, and it is safe at present.
I thought that Chang Xi would be in a better mood when she achieved her goal this time, but she would add new troubles to herself all the time. I don't think there's a 'optimistic' word in her dictionary of life.
In the past few days, I have accompanied Chang Xi to stay in Hou Ye to recuperate, and all aspects of care can be said to be meticulous. The tea and snacks are a grade higher than that of the Forgotten Dust Pavilion.
I looked at the lavish antique setting in the room and the delicious meals, and I was full of praise.
But Changxi will always say: "It's okay, it's not much better than the palace." β
And I would reply to her: "Yes, it's okay, it's far from the Burj Al Arab in Dubai when Xiao and I went on vacation last time." β
On the tenth day, Chang Xi was able to barely walk on the ground, and she walked back and forth in the room with her stomach propped up like a pregnant woman.
"Xi'erβ"
When Liu Zhang pushed the door in, the maid was changing Chang Xi's clothes, and in addition to seeing her uncovered jade body, she also saw the terrifying knife marks on Chang Xi's back.
"Don't you know how to ignore indecency!"
Liu Zhang was covered by the towel I threw out, and he waved his hand: "I'm just here to see if Xi'er is much better." β
Chang Xi tied up her clothes, lifted the futon and got off the bed, but she knelt in front of Liu Zhang, her voice was hoarse: "The folk girl doesn't know the identity of the Hou Ye, she has crossed the rules a lot before, and now she is still involved in the Hou Ye to take care of the cheap life of the folk girl, and the folk girl is really sorry to die!" β
Chang Xi's head hit the ground and gave Liu Zhang a knock.
I looked, got it! In the atmosphere of bitterness, I consciously closed the door and went out, and I didn't want to see the fleshy plot directed and acted by Chang Xi.
Liu Zhang saw that her sick body was in a hurry, and immediately helped her to lie on the bed, and carefully looked at whether there was any injury on her head: "What's wrong with you?" What does this do? β
"If it weren't for me, Hou Ye wouldn't have gone to the Forgotten Dust Pavilion, let alone encounter danger, I put Hou Ye in a dangerous place like this, it's really damn ......"
Liu Zhang felt a little awkward about the honorific title in her mouth, and he sighed: "Listen, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't understand the affairs of the government and politics, and you don't need to add trumped-up charges to yourself, and this time you sacrificed your life to save me, I was already ashamed, if you are like this again, I don't know how to face you with my face." β
"But ......"
Before Chang Xi's words were finished, Liu Zhang hugged her, he stroked her green silk, and the wound he blocked for him behind his back: "I think, I will never meet a woman who uses her body to block a knife for me again, I, Liu Zhang, will definitely treat you well for the rest of your life!" β
Chang Xi's forehead was against Liu Zhang's shoulder, which was thicker than Liu Ying's and warmer than Liu Ying's, but it was not what she wanted after all. Immersed in such an affectionate embrace, Chang Xi knew what he looked like.
She clearly has Liu Ying in her heart, and she can't forget her beloved Liu Ying, but she wants to pretend to have a lot of ties with Liu Zhang, a lot of entanglements, and say duplicitous. How could she face Liu Ying, what is the difference between herself and the dirty Lu Pheasant......
Chang Xi suppressed the sourness that rolled up in her eyes, and she choked up: "Even though I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I can't selfishly let you bear the infamy, the dignified Hou Ye is entangled with a Qing/Lou woman, you will be laughed at, I can't do it, please forget me." β
If she wants to be captured, she can't let Liu Zhang succeed so quickly, and she must also appear to be not messing with the world.
Liu Zhang grabbed Chang Xi's shoulders and said hard: "In your eyes, I am a person who cares about fame and fortune?" The people of the Han Palace can't help me, and they can't control me, you are my woman, and you are my Zhu Xuhou's woman! You say that you are trapped in the green / building and see through the red dust, so why do you care about the eyes of the world? β
Liu Zhang had only one thing in his heart in the past two days, to marry Chang Xi, help her get out of the land of fireworks, and give her a peaceful life.
"Thank you, thank you......"
Liu Zhang is different from Liu Ying, if Liu Ying is a puppet manipulated by Empress Lu, he can't help himself, and he can't protect his beloved woman. Then Liu Zhang is as innocent as a child, stubbornly protecting what he wants to get and want to protect.
At this moment, Chang Xi felt very secure in this embrace. If she hadn't met Liu Ying first, she might have been tempted by a man like Liu Zhang.
However, if she hadn't been involved in harem troubles, she and Liu Zhang would have been just strangers.
Liu Zhang wants to marry Chang Xi, which is one of Chang Xi's new troubles.
So I said that Chang Xi is just finding guilt for herself, this Liu Zhang can't marry her, marry her, she is worried.
The reason for Chang Xi's worry is very simple, if the marquis's royal relatives get married, they must ask the Son of Heaven for marriage. Liu Ying has no real power, Liu Zhang lives in Chang'an City at this time, and he is on the cusp, so Lu Pheasant naturally wants to keep an eye on him.
If he wants to marry Chang Xi, how could Lu Pheasant not know what to do, and at that time, Chang Xi's identity will be exposed, which is to push himself into the fire pit.
But things are so dramatic, Chang Xi definitely didn't expect that the idea he gave Liu Zhang at that time would affect the changes in the future.
After Chang Xi was injured, Liu Zhang told the people in the Han Palace about the assassination, and his purpose was not to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but just to show Lu Pheasant his face.
No matter who the mastermind is, the one who killed him must be surnamed Lu.
Since that night's banquet, the Liu family has been impressed by Liu Zhang, and many people in the court want to win over Liu Zhang. Such ambitions gradually expanded, which made the people of the Lu family unwilling.
He humiliated the people of the Lu family so much at the dinner, how could the already arrogant Lu family be willing, they must have revenge for that sword.
Liu Zhang's recital was impassioned, and every word was sonorous and powerful.
Liu Zhang is now very prestigious in the Liu family, and Lu Pheasant has to guard against it.
So, Lu Pheasant thought of a way.
Just before Liu Zhang had time to marry Chang Xi with Empress Lu, a holy decree came from the Han Palace.
"The county lord Lu Chu is dignified, virtuous and virtuous, so he married Zhu Xuhou and chose a day to complete the marriage."
Liu Zhang knelt on his knees, not knowing how to receive this holy decree.
His brows furrowed into an unprecedented 'eight', and Pu Qing was also in a mood on the side, eager to draw his long sword and cut off the disgusting holy decree.
"I'm sorry, because of this matter, maybe our matter will be delayed, but I promise you, I will never marry two people other than you, let alone her Lu family!"
Liu Zhang explained to Chang Xi everything from the dinner party to the wedding.
It was Chang Xi's expectation that Lu Pheasant would reward Liu Zhang in front of everyone, but what she didn't expect was that Lu Pheasant would marry Lu Lu's second daughter Lu Chuxu to Liu Zhang.
Most of the marriages of Lu Liu did not end well, and Zhao Wang Liu You is an example. Lu Pheasant knew this, but still insisted on going her own way, indicating that she felt threatened by Liu Zhang.
"I know that the Marquis will not yield to the Queen Mother, but in the current situation, it is inevitable that he will suffer."
Chang Xi's idea was that not only was she not distressed by this matter, but she was also a little happy.
Chang Xi had been worried that his identity would be discovered because he married Liu Zhang, because no matter what, as a wife and concubine, he had to enter the palace to ask for peace.
But it just so happened that this step taken by Lu Pheasant gave Chang Xi a wonderful excuse.
Liu Zhang clenched Chang Xi's hand: "What do you mean by this?" Are you going to give up? It's just Lu Chu, Lu Lu They think it's too beautiful, Liu You was imprisoned by Lu Pheasant because he married a barbaric wife, they don't want to trap me in the same way again! β
Chang Xi fell into Liu Zhang's arms, stroking the light armor on Liu Zhang's body, she smiled lightly, and said softly: "Right now, the Lu family is in charge, and the Hou Ye is a smart person, imagine what will happen to the Lu family if you resist the decree and disrespect it, and what will happen to the Liu family. Since the Queen Mother wants to send a beautiful woman to the Hou Ye, she should gladly accept it. β
Liu Zhang was stunned and looked down at Chang Xi: "You let me marry Lu Chu?" β
"Yes, please marry her."
Chang Xi said very firmly.
"I won't marry her, I only need you in my life, and I Liu Zhang only need you!"
Liu Zhang was very angry, he never refused to be willing to submit to the Lu family, let alone obey the Lu family. He brushed his sleeves and left, Chang Xi didn't know what he was going to do, but before Liu Zhang told the Han Palace about the two of them, she had to do something to stop him.
At night, the atmosphere of the entire Hou Mansion became extremely strange.
Chang Xi didn't eat a mouthful of food, but ate a basket of oranges in front of me, and I snatched the last one that hadn't been eliminated by her: "What are you doing?" And because of lying, conscience is disturbed? Come on, do you have a conscience? β
"That kind of thing, I don't have it for a long time."
"Then what are you mad about?
"I don't care about my unscrupulous means, but I suddenly found that I am very similar to Lu Pheasant, I don't want to be like her, so I don't know if it's right to use Liu Zhang's feelings like this, he has nothing to do with harem troubles, but I dragged him into the water, I'm afraid ......"
I sneered: "What you're afraid of is that the day he learns the truth, you're afraid that he will collapse, right?" β
Chang Xi nodded: "On the road I chose, the only thing I feel guilty about is him, and I'm sorry for him, although I can be heartless and ruthless, I can't deny that I owe him a lot, I am indeed a bad woman." β
My chest was suddenly very dull, probably because Chang Xi's mood also affected me, I didn't have the appetite to eat the orange in my hand anymore, so I opened a petal and stuffed it into her mouth: "Okay, don't say it, I almost have indigestion when I hear it." Since you don't regret it, keep going. β
Chang Xi glanced at me, stunned for two seconds, and then stretched out his hand to me as if he suddenly remembered something; "Show me your hairpin."
