"Princess." Yinyue pursed her lips and looked at the visitor, with a faint smile between her eyebrows.

"Why are you hurt?"

Zhou Huan sighed, and could see that the injuries on Yinyue (shēn) were still serious (tǐng). However, in a short time, a large amount of blood had oozed from the wound on his (shēn).

Qi Yu shook his head, the fists in his sleeves clenched tightly. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Who cares about you anymore? I'm just worried that something happened to you at the gate of the Chu Palace, what if it affects the palace. ”

In the face of Zhou Huan's defense, Qi Yu didn't say anything more, just pursed his lips and quietly looked at the person in front of him.

After a while, Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't worry, it won't be involved." ”

Zhou Huan opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but in the end he was unwilling to close his mouth. "In that case, then go back quickly and let the people in the building treat your wounds."

The words of the instruct still didn't hold back, Qi Yu nodded, with a doting face. "Okay."

Zhou Huan shook his head, and he was also annoyed in his heart why the atmosphere in front of him suddenly became embarrassing. She couldn't figure it out, so she had to turn (shēn) and leave.

After leaving, Qi Yu, who was in place, finally couldn't support it anymore and took a step back. At the critical moment, Chu Xingchen appeared next to Qi Yu's (shēn) and stabilized him.

"But things don't go well?"

During this time, there were many accidents in the court, and they all knew that it was Qi Wei's people who were doing it. Tonight, Qi Yu wanted to go and explore in person, but who knew that he was injured like this.

"Tuoba Zhao's (shēn) hand should not be underestimated." Qi Yu used Chu Xingchen's strength to stabilize his (shēn) son, and Zhou Huan's back was getting farther and farther away not far away.

"Chu Xingchen, Qingqing, there can't be any accidents."

In the darkness of the night, two slender men (shēn) stood side by side, but both looked serious.

They all know that it will soon be a bloody storm.

……

……

"Don't, don't just leave me."

"Come back—"

Zhou Huan looked at the person in front of her who was drifting away, but her expression was terrified, and she even stretched out her hand to save that person.

Although he couldn't see that person's face clearly, Zhou Huan always felt that that person was very important to him, and if he left, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"No ......"

Yuxi had just returned to the room, and what he saw was Zhou Huan on the couch (chuáng) who seemed to be having a nightmare.

"Princess, wake up." Yuxi shook Zhou Huan worriedly, and finally woke her up from her dream.

"Ah Yu?" At the same time, Zhou Huan also shouted one (shēn), and only then did he plead with that person to turn (shēn), but he didn't expect that person to be bloodstained, and that face was actually Qi Yu.

When he opened his eyes, Zhou Huan only felt that he was sweating profusely, but he quickly understood that he was in a dream.

"(diàn)?" Zhou Huan opened his mouth worriedly.

Yuxi is also worried, but the object of her concern is Zhou Huan. "Princess, just now the king of Northern Xia sent someone over to remind the princess that she is going back to give the emperor a gift."

In other words, Zhou Huanjin (rì) still has to go to see Tuoba Zhao.

After finishing speaking, Yuxi hurriedly said to Zhou Huan again: "Princess, it's okay, I was late to go out with Lord Chu Xingchen last night, and I rested in the side room when I came back at night." ”

"Let's change your clothes."

Zhou Huan nodded, and the things in the dream (qíng) made her seem to be making a bit of a fuss. Still, the current situation (qíng) is more likely to bother her.

"Princess." Tuoba Zhao was already standing at the door of the Chu Palace, waiting for a long time.

Zhou Huan nodded, stretched out his hand to tidy up the broken hair in his ear, and then nodded politely. "I've been waiting for a long time, I don't know where you want to go?"

"No need, I see that the princess's face is not good, let's go directly to the palace to find the emperor." Tuoba Zhao grinned widely, and turned (shēn) to lead the way in front.

Zhou Huan, who stayed in place, was stunned, and her eyes were on Tuoba Zhao (shēn) who turned (shēn) and left, and the meaning was two more points unclear.

Tuoba Zhao stopped and turned his head helplessly, "Princess, just think that this king is pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade, okay?" ”

He knew that Zhou Huan at this moment must be thinking about himself after (shēn).

"There is no need to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, this is the will of the father, if the king is in need, the princess should naturally accompany him." Zhou Huan replied politely, and then followed in the footsteps of Tuoba Zhao.

After he left, Tuoba Zhao and Qi Wei seemed to have talked about a lot of topics, and Zhou Huan didn't think that Qi Wei and Tuoba Zhao would talk about Fengyue there. In this case, it is important to draw boundaries as soon as possible.

"As long as it is the emperor's will, you will listen to it?"

When the two of them were about to walk to the door of the emperor's upper study, Tuoba Zhao suddenly stared at Zhou Huan and spoke.

"Huh?"

Tuoba Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, and without saying anything more, Zhuan (shēn) took the lead in the room.

In the upper study, the emperor was holding the fold in his hand and looking at it seriously, and only when he heard the movement at the door did he put down the things in his hand.

"Coming?" The Emperor smiled and spoke.

"The son of the emperor greets his father." Zhou Huan respectfully saluted to the emperor, "Father, these two (rì) sons have written another recipe and handed it to their father-in-law, you can remember to drink it when the time comes." ”

"You girl, you are really a sensible child." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, King of Northern Xia, can these two (rì) have a good time?" ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Zhao nodded, but his eyes fell on the stack of papers on the emperor's desk.

After half a ring, Tuoba Zhao reacted, and then nodded, "Princess Chu is a good host, and these two (rì) kings are doing very well. ”

"That's good, that's good." Because of his happiness, obvious wrinkles appeared on the emperor's face.

Just when Zhou Huan thought that all this would end in this peaceful atmosphere, Tuoba Zhao suddenly knelt in front of the emperor.

It stands to reason that although he is a vassal country, he does not need to pay a big salute to the emperor. And for now, what Tuoba Zhao is doing, unless it is in a special form (qíng).

"Your Majesty, come to each other, this king is also for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it is best for the two countries to become in-laws when the relationship is close."

The Emperor nodded and motioned for Tuoba Zhao to continue.

"Therefore, this king asks the emperor to marry Zhou Huan to this king, and when the two countries become in-laws, they will naturally be closer." After finishing speaking, Tuoba Zhao actually kowtowed to the emperor.

"No, you can't." Zhou Huan subconsciously spoke, "The king of Northern Xia said with a smile, this princess is already the princess of Chu, how can she marry another husband." ”

Tuoba Zhao stared at Zhou Huan with burning eyes, and the wolf's ambition was obvious for the first time. "Since you are married to Northern Xia, then everything will follow our etiquette, presumably the princess also knows some Northern Xia, so it is not a problem."

"You ......"

The two (rì) get along, and Tuoba Zhao always doesn't talk much in front of Zhou Huan, so he once thought that Tuoba Zhao was not very good at opening his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't expect that he would be so defensive.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?" Tuoba Zhao spoke again, this time the person he was looking at was the emperor.

The elderly emperor sat upright in his chair and shook his head to speak, when he suddenly coughed.

"Ahem, ahem—" The Emperor looked pained and reached out to cover his mouth.

Zhou Gonggong on the side walked in quickly when he heard the voice, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" ”

The Emperor waved his hand to signal his father-in-law not to be nervous, and then coughed dryly for a while before stabilizing a little. "朕今 (rì)...... discomfort, change (rì)...... Again... Talk, cough cough cough! ”

"Then Father, you have a good rest." Zhou Huan ended the conversation before Tuoba Zhao could speak.

Then, Tuoba Zhao sent the emperor away in an unwilling gaze.

"The princess thinks she can escape this way?" Tuoba Zhao grinned, got up from the cold floor (shēn), and patted his sleeve.

The man in front of him (shēn) was slender and tall, and although his skin was not as fair as Han Zhaoguo's man, he was not dark, his eyes were deep, and his nose bridge was high (tǐng).

After all, Tuoba Zhao said that he was not wrong, and Emperor Fang Cai was avoiding the problem at first glance. Zhou Huan was worried that the emperor might really be moved.

"Why does it have to be me?" Zhou Huan didn't understand that if he really needed someone to be with him, that person was not necessarily himself.

Who knows, hearing Zhou Huan say this, Tuoba Zhao suddenly sneered twice, and then said: "Believe me, the two of us are the most suitable people in this world." ”

After saying that, Tuoba Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed, and then turned (shēn) to leave.

……

……

On the way home, Zhou Huan kept thinking about this question but to no avail. Just when she was about to give up, the answer came to her door again.

"Princess, please see me." As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhou Shenyuan, who had been guarding outside, suddenly rushed out, and it looked like he would never leave if he didn't see Zhou Huan.

Probably Zhou Huan was also tired from being tossed by Zhou Shenyuan," Fuli said. ”

In the main hall of the Chu Palace, Zhou Huan was staring at the water cup in his hand in a daze, and the same Zhou Shenyuan was also hesitating with his head down.

"Princess, did Tuoba Zhao look for you?" Zhou Shenyuan opened his mouth cautiously, he had already seen Zhou Huan's absolute (qíng) before, if it wasn't for the last resort, he would definitely not appear here again.

I already knew that he was the only one in the Zhou family now, and because of the emperor's distrust in the court, he almost had no status. So this daughter of the Chu Palace, he didn't want to provoke.

"Princess, if Tuoba Zhao asks you to do something, you can help him." Zhou Shenyuan suddenly knelt in front of Zhou Huan.

Then, there was a sudden eerie silence in the room.

Dangdangdang......

Zhou Huan's fingers kept tapping on the table, and then suddenly he understood something. "On Tuoba Zhao's (shēn), there is the blood of our Zhou family, right?"

She suddenly remembered that Mrs. Zhou seemed to have a daughter, but she was not a concubine, so she was not mentioned. If she remembers correctly, that daughter seems to have married into Northern Xia.
