My hand holding the hem of his shirt stiffened. He confessed, what to do? How long can I hold on? "I don't want to be the witch of your wedding, and I won't pray for your child to bless Hongyun'er, I always thought I could, but I couldn't"

"There won't be any women of the Di tribe, and there won't be any children you don't want to pray for. You will not be the witch at the wedding, you will be my Zhao Wuxian's wife, when we return to the Jin Kingdom, I will explain everything to my father, and I will go to the Taishi Mansion to propose marriage. ”

"Nope! You can't go against the will of the prime minister, you are not a prince yet. The words of the shirtless exploded above me like a thunderclap.

Wuxian rubbed his cheek against the top of my head and sighed, "Ah Shi, didn't you ever think that I would refuse? Haven't I been clear enough about this journey? ”

It's not that he can't say it clearly, it's that I dare to have such extravagant hopes. He worked hard, step by step, and everything he has done in the past ten years may be just to be able to sit in that position. Now that the Son of Heaven is within his reach, how can I expect him to stop at this step for me?

"The prime minister will not agree to you marrying me, he knew that you and I were in love, so he deliberately arranged your wedding before the canonization ceremony of the prince. There is no wedding, there is no canonization, and that's what he wants to tell you, and he says it very clearly, and you understand it. ”

"What I Zhao Wuxian wanted, do I have to rely on an inexplicable Di woman to give it?" Wuxian sneered, grabbed my arm and pulled me out of his arms, "Ah Shi, you told me, there are many ways to achieve your goals in this world, maybe marrying that Di Nu is the fastest and most convenient way, but this is definitely not what I want." The only person I want to marry is you, and the only thing I want to hold is these hands. ”

"What if the prime minister doesn't agree, if he insists on letting you marry the princess of the Di clan, and if he wants to take the throne of the prince promised to you for this?" I looked up, bent the corners of my mouth, and raised an intriguing smile: "Then let's see, who else can sit in that position!" ”

I looked up at the man in front of me and was unconsciously stupid. He is no longer the slave who is bullied, he is a natural strongman, he has the courage to look down on the world, and at this moment there is no ambition and ** in his eyes, there is only me in his eyes, only my tearful face

Wuxian lowered his head and kissed my eyes lightly, his warm and deep voice seemed to melt me into his arms little by little: "Ah Shi, go back with me!" No one can separate us, I assure you. Nobody"

I closed my eyes and felt every touch of his face on my face, his hand on my cheeks, the corners of my eyes, the tips of my hair, and he pulled me into his body like warm seawater. I sighed and soaked up his warmth. I love this man, I don't want to leave him, no one can take him away from me.

When Yu An reappeared, Wuxian had already carried me on horseback. He was about to get on his horse, but when he turned around, he found Yu An standing behind a big tree two feet away.

Turning to look at him, Yu An walked out from behind the trunk.

The two men looked at each other silently from a distance of two feet.

I felt that there was an unusual aura slowly condensing among them, and I hurriedly leaned over and pressed Wuxi's shoulder: "Don't blame him, I forced him to tell me." "Yu An broke the agreement between him and Wuxian for my sake, and I really don't want them to hurt each other's feelings for many years because of this.

Wuxian patted my hand and turned back to me and smiled: "I know, there are few men in this world who can refuse you. So, this time, I don't blame him. ”

Wuxian turned over on the horse, held my waist with the reins in one hand and the other, and paced in front of Yu An: "Xiao Shu, I'm going to take Ah Shi back." If you're done with what you're done, come back early! Si'er, I'm still waiting for you in your house. ”

Yu An looked up into his shirtless eyes, and after a moment of silence, he smiled: "Okay, I know." ”

He smiled and bowed, then rode back and led me slowly in the direction of Qufu City.

There was an indescribable weirdness in the feeling between them, and I grabbed the horse's mane and looked back, but Yu An was still standing motionless in the misty morning light.

"He's my friend, he's just worried about me." I grabbed Shirtless' hand and whispered.

The hand around my waist tightened and smiled, "I know." ”

Half an hour later, the dark horse took us back to the courtyard. At the gate of the courtyard, Si'er was sending a white-haired old man with a medicine basket out of the gate. Shirtless rolled over and jumped off the horse, and with both hands lifted me down.

"Doctor, how is Ah Yu's injury?" Wuxian asked the old man.

The old man gave a salute and replied, "The wound of the sick man is just between the bones, it is very clean, and there are no broken bones left. Although the hand is gone, there is no need to worry about life. ”

"That's fine, thank you, doctor!" Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and said to Si'er: "Si'er, send me to the doctor well." ”

"No!" Si'er helped the old doctor to walk slowly towards the mouth of the alley, and when she passed by me, she suddenly blinked at me twice.

Before I could comprehend the meaning of Si'er's wink at me, Wuxian had already squeezed my hand: "Ah Shi, I'm going to go in and see Ah Yu now, do you want to come along?" ”

I glanced at Si'er's back, smiled at Wuxian, and said, "You go first, I still have a few words to explain to Si'er, and I'll come over in a while." ”

"Okay." Wuxian pinched my fingers and turned to walk through the courtyard door.

I stood in the alley for a while, and after Si'er sent the old doctor to the alley, he trotted all the way back to me.

"You're back." She grabbed my hand and whispered.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Si'er glanced at the courtyard gate, and then leaned into my ear and whispered, "Taishi sent someone to deliver a letter just now." ”

"Sneaky, I thought something big was going on. What about faith? Did you give it to the shirtless? As I spoke, I took Si'er's hand and walked into the yard. Si'er slammed his hand and grabbed me: "It's not that I'm sneaky, it's that the person who sent the letter is weird." The man instructed me several times to make sure I gave you the letter first, and I couldn't let Mr. Zhao see it. ”

"Oh?" What is Master doing, Da Lao sent someone from afar to send a letter from the Jin Kingdom, could it be that something big happened in the Jin Kingdom? "Where is the faith? Show me! ”

"Here we are!" Si'er lowered his head and took out two squarely folded silk cloths from the placket of his clothes and handed them to me, "Ah Shi, why didn't Yu An come back with you?" ”

"I came back first without a shirt, and Yu An also had to bury the servants and the fish woman. But we're walking slowly, and it looks like he's coming back soon, so you can wait for him here. I shook off one of the silk cloths, which was densely covered with small characters, and looking at the handwriting, the letter was indeed written by Shi Mo.

"Okay, then I'll wait for him here! There is freshly cooked porridge on the stove in the room, you went out in the morning without breakfast, and now you are hungry? Let's go eat a little first! Si'er tiptoed towards the mouth of the alley, turned his head and said to me.

"I'll take a look at Master's letter first, it's equivalent to coming back, let's eat together!" I stroked Si'er's back and walked quickly to the threshold.

Shi Mo sent a total of two letters, the one full of letters was for Wu Xian, and the second silk cloth had only one sentence on it, which Shi Mo wrote to me.

As I expected, something really happened to the Jin Kingdom, to be precise, something happened to Zhao Ying.

I haven't figured out why Zhao Ying canceled the marriage between Bo Ying and Wu Feng at this juncture, and why he suddenly let Wu Xian marry the princess of the Di family. Even though he had already made a plan to go north more than ten years ago, all this seemed so impatient and hasty.

After I read Shi Mo's letter, I finally understood the reason behind this, Zhao Ying's illness.

Shi Mo mentioned in the letter that Zhao Ying suddenly fainted at a family dinner a month earlier. He was unconscious for several days, and finally even Bian Que, whose whereabouts were mysterious, was invited into the Zhao Mansion. Subsequently, under Bian Que's treatment, he finally woke up, but he did a series of things that seemed extremely hasty and strange to others. For example, Bo Ying, who refused to obey death and went on a hunger strike for many days, married to Daiguo, for example, and forced Wuxian to abandon me and marry the princess of the Di tribe. He's not a ruthless father, he just doesn't have time.

As soon as Zhao Ying died, the power of the Jin Kingdom would fall into the hands of Zhi Yao, who was as ambitious as the northern lands. Zhao Ying asked the Di clan for Wu Xian, and Zhi Yao was also courting the Di clan for Zhi Yan. Zhao Ying knew that after his death, there would eventually be a war between the Zhao clan and the Zhi clan, and whoever gained the support and land of the north would be able to get himself out of the danger of being attacked in the war.

Zhao Ying is not forcing Wuxian to choose between me and the position of the son, he is paving the way for his son, and he is doing his last bit of strength for the century-old foundation of the Zhao family.

Oh my God, what should I do?

Wuxian must marry her, and if Zhao Ying is seriously ill and dies, Wuxian must have the support of his northern neighbor before he dies.

It's not a wedding, it's an upcoming war.

On the way back from outside the city, I was thinking, if Wuxian wants to disobey the marriage arranged by Zhao Ying, if Zhao Ying really wants to break us up after returning to the Jin Kingdom, then how can we persuade him and how to resist him? I don't want to give up my beloved to any woman, whether she is a noble daughter of the Jin Kingdom or a princess of a foreign race. After seeing my heart clearly, I am ready to fight Zhao Ying to the end at all costs. But now, a letter from Shi Mo has completely pushed me into a corner. Zhao Ying is no longer a high-minded and aggressive opponent, he is just an old man who is seriously ill but has never been relieved of his son and family. My high fighting spirit all the way was like someone poured cold water on my head.
