Chapter 426: Trust and Deception

Although Xue Shao has experienced a lot of rigorous training and life and death polishing, and is extremely good at hiding his inner emotional fluctuations, he is not a vegetarian in Wu Zetian's fiery eyes. She had already seen Xue Shao's attitude towards Ai Yan from the strange expression and eyes that flashed in an instant.

So, before Xue Shao could say anything, Wu Zetian smiled meaningfully, "That's it, there's no need to say it." ”

With that, she looked behind Xue Shao.

Xue Shao subconsciously looked back and saw that Ai Yan was coming. It was followed by two palace maids, most of whom seemed to be as martial arts as Linlang.

Judging by this situation, Ai Yan should be under house arrest in the palace. Xue Shao thought it was very strange, how did she come to my house on the day of my wedding? Without Wu Zetian's permission, would she be able to get out of the palace?

Before thinking about it, Ai Yan had already walked in front of Wu Zetian. Of course, she saw that Xue Shao was also present, but her expression was as if Xue Shao was a complete stranger, she just saluted Wu Zetian decently, and almost didn't glance at Xue Shao from the corner of her eyes.

Xue Shao felt more and more that Ai Yan's changes were a thousand miles in a day. Now she almost has something that she can't understand!

"Ai Yan, what did this palace tell you, how did you think about it?" Wu Zetian asked.

Ai Yan lowered his eyebrows and replied, "The criminal has thought about it carefully...... Sinner, willing to go! ”

Xue Shao frowned, are you willing to go to Northern Xinjiang?

"If you just say yes." Wu Zetian said quietly, "Then you also agreed to the conditions proposed by this palace." ”

"Yes, the criminals all agreed." Ai Yan replied.

"Good." Wu Zetian waved his hand gently, "It's okay, you can step down!" ”

Ai Yan said yes, but still didn't look at Xue Shao more, turned around and left.

Xue Shao was a little confused, what conditions did Wu Zetian propose? Why do you say it in front of me?

Ai Yan gradually walked away, Wu Zetian stood up, and slowly paced to Xue Shao's side.

"Hongu knows what you're thinking." Wu Zetian said lightly, "That's right, the conditions that this palace asked Ai Yan to agree to are indeed related to you." ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, "Queen of Heaven, how can it be related to the minister?" ”

The corners of Wu Zetian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful and cold smile, "How about making her your wife?" ”

β€œοΌβ€ Xue Shao was stunned.

"What, you're surprised?"

"That's right, the minister was very surprised!"

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, walked back and sat down, "You should have thought of it a long time ago, didn't you?" ”

"......" Xue Shao's mind didn't turn for a while, and he was very speechless.

"This is not only your private matter, but also a military matter, you think about it carefully when you go back." Wu Zetian was still smiling, and said lightly, "For the generals to kill the enemy on the border but beg for the horse leather shroud to return, and they are not afraid of death, so why are they afraid of accepting a concubine?" ”

Xue Shao nodded with a solemn expression, "The minister will think carefully." ”

"Let's go back!" Wu Zetian raised his hand lightly, "This matter is more public than private." You don't have to let Taiping know for the time being. Newlywed Yan'er, more is better than less. ”

"I know."

Leaving the Imperial Garden, Xue Shao's mind was a million question marks desperately rising, and his brows were tangled. He inadvertently blinked his eyes and saw the moon slave next to him dressed in a heroic military uniform, with his head bowed and full of confession and sadness.

Xue Shao's heart lit up, "Xiao Zhizhong, you bring these documents to the Martial Arts Academy, and discuss with your colleagues about implementation." I have some other things to do, and I'll come back later. ”

"Yes." Xiao Zhizhong agreed to the promise and left with the copywriting after Wu Zetian's approval.

Xue Shao walked to the side of the moon slave, stared at her condescendingly with a slight frown, and walked back and forth around her to look at her carefully, staring at the moon slave so that his back was cold, and his hair stood on end, and he didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.

"I'm asking you a question, have you thought about it?" Xue Shao asked suddenly.

"Think...... Figured it out! The moon slave was a little flustered, and his mouth was knotted.

"Good. Follow me! ”

Xue Shao brought the moon slave to the Wuyue Pavilion of Longshou Pond, and there was no one around, listening to her tell her in detail from beginning to end, all the secrets between her and Ai Yan.

The moon slave talked for nearly half an hour, and from time to time she shed some tears of grievance and self-blame. Xue Shao listened very carefully, and he had been paying attention to all the micro-expressions of the moon slave, and finally he came to two conclusions.

First, the moon slave definitely did not deceive himself, and he had no intention of harming himself.

Second, the moon slave was deceived by Ai Yan.

How broad a person's state of mind or how deep his scheming is, is determined by his experience.

In contrast, Ai Yan, who has experienced a series of life and death changes on the grassland, is much more scheming than the moon slave who has been growing up within the high walls of the mansion and has little experience in danger.

At the beginning, Ai Yan and Yuenu were natural rivals, and they wanted to beat each other to death all day long. Later, they didn't know each other, but the two became a pair of best friends. This doesn't matter, every turn of events happened after Ai Yan killed Ashdwin Fu and his son with a divisive strategy. At that time, Ai Yan was no longer the simple-minded and impulsive princess of the grassland at the beginning, she experienced life and death and penetrated people's hearts, and at the same time stepped into the threshold of politics.

Perhaps it was from that time that Ai Yan started her plan. She first won the sympathy and favor of the moon slave, and took advantage of the moon slave's desperate love for Xue Shao, and began to instigate her to carry out a plan to have a child!

Ai Yan said to the moon slave that if a woman wants to stay in a man's heart for a long time, it is impossible to tie his heart with just thoughts. Especially for a person like Xue Gongzi, it is impossible for you, a servant girl from a humble background, to tie his heart. If you want Xue Gongzi not to abandon you for the rest of your life, there is only one way - the mother is more precious than the son!

These words reached the heart of Yuenu, and she thought about giving birth to Xue Shao no less than a thousand times. But her stomach kept empty, which made her very frightened, and even suspected that she was infertile.

Ai Yan caught this thought of the moon slave, saying that she had learned some tricks from the Turkic witch doctor, and she could accurately calculate when a woman was particularly easy to get pregnant, and at the same time, she would also prepare aphrodisiac drugs to increase the chance of pregnancy.

The moon slave was secretly happy, but she was worried that it would harm Xue Shao's body or make Xue Shao unhappy. Ai Yan repeatedly promised that nothing would happen, but the moon slave still refused to carry it out. This matter dragged on and on, from the grassland to Chang'an, and the moon slave never agreed. Coincidentally, during this period of time, Xue Shao was busy and did not have the body of the moon slave, which made the moon slave feel a lot of loss and anxiety in his heart. As the wedding date of Xue Shao and Princess Taiping approached day by day, the moon slave became more and more worried that Xue Shao would not touch her again after the wedding, so he was willing to give it a try.

So there was a big wedding day, Xue Shao was given aphrodisiac drugs, and the absurd thing of crazy clouds and rain with his second daughter. Originally, they set the day of "hands-on" a few days before the wedding, but Ai Yan couldn't get out of house arrest at all, and was only allowed to leave the palace on the day of the wedding.

It was on that day that Ai Yan handed over his virgin body to Xue Shao.

This matter is actually not strange for the moon slave, because Ai Yan told the moon slave very early on that she liked Xue Shao, and at the same time Ai Yan also said that the daughter of the grassland, I don't know when she will lose her virginity inexplicably, rather than let the dirty and smelly grassland people take advantage of this, it is better to give the virgin body to the man she likes and appreciates.

is also a woman, of course the moon slave will understand Ai Yan's mood.

So, on the day of the wedding, Xue Shao was really tired, and the two women were holding back their strength, one wanted to have a son and the other wanted to complete the "grand wish" of the broken place, which made Xue Shao almost weak and couldn't climb into the cave room.

That's all the story that Moon Nu said.

At first glance, there is nothing particularly suspicious about it except for the glamorous and absurd.

But Xue Shao thinks about today's events, Ai Yan's motives may not be so simple - it is very likely that she has been seeking to save her life and seek to get out.

For a Turkic "female war criminal" like her, the most effective preservation methods are nothing more than two, first, she still has use value for the Tang Dynasty, and the court will consider keeping her alive; Second, marry a Tang citizen with a high status and become the daughter-in-law of the Tang Dynasty.

The first method, Xue Shao came out from the beginning, and he, Pei Xingjian and others advocated not killing Fu Nian and Ai Yan. After returning to Chang'an, he was recognized and helped by Xue Yuanchao. So Ai Yan did not hesitate to choose to cooperate with Xue Shao's action to help others and save himself.

As for the second method - marrying a Tang woman, Ai Yan naturally thought of the most suitable candidate, of course, Xue Shao himself. Her idea can easily be approved by the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan and others. The reason is very simple, the Turkic princess is not ashamed to be a concubine for Princess Taiping; According to the tradition of Central Plains culture, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is a dog, Ai Yan married Xue Shao and became a concubine, that is, Xue Shao's person, and her identity as a "Turkic princess" will be diluted a lot. Naturally, the grassland tribes will no longer trust and support her, the daughter-in-law of the Central Plains, as much as before.

Only in this way will Wu Zetian and Pei Yan rest assured that Ai Yan will be the pacification messenger of the grassland.

Xue Shao pondered again, maybe Ai Yan could leave the palace on his wedding day, which was personally approved by Wu Zetian. Also, it is possible that Wu Zetian even knew about Ai Yan's "drugging" plan and did not stop it-raw rice cooked rice, is there anything better than this to test and tie a woman?

That desolate cloud and rain is very likely to be not only Wu Zetian's test of Ai Yan, but also a "vote of fame" that Ai Yan dedicated to Wu Zetian.

From the mother-in-law's point of view, this matter is very excessive and intolerable; But from the standpoint of a politician, a trivial matter is imperative!

Thinking of this, Xue Shao was a little annoyed in his heart, fuck, what kind of play did you treat me for?!

"No, you can't let Ai Yan slip away!" Xue Shao suddenly took the case, "Bear the burden of humiliation, there must be a deep plan." I dare to conclude that Ai Yan doesn't want to be a princess at all, and she doesn't plan to marry a Tang woman with peace of mind. She just wants to run away and go back to her grasslandβ€”and then let the tiger go back to the mountains! ”

"Childe, what should I do?" Yuenu was very worried and blamed herself, "It's all because Yuenu is stupid, she was deceived and used by her, and she has always regarded her as her best bosom friend!" She has said more than once that she knows that she can't stay with her son for the rest of her life, and she only hopes to be a dewy couple with her son before she dies! - I was touched by her simplicity and persistence, so I promised her not to tell her this secret for the time being! I trust her so much, and she deceives and uses me so much! …… To this day, the moon slave really has no face to live in this world! Ask the son to be killed! ”.
