CHAPTER XXII

After King Zhao returned to the palace, he couldn't go up and down in one breath. Today's incident is obviously deliberate, and it cannot be so coincidental. The question is, why is Percreek on the street? Why did they just collide with King Qin in pairs?

Although King Zhao had doubts, he had not lost his mind. The first thing to do is to call my sister to ask for clarification and then make other plans.

Princess Wanhe was urgently brought to the palace, and King Zhao saw his sister come in and motioned for the palace maid and eunuch to retreat. Princess Wuhe also sat down opposite King Zhao with an anxious and worried face: "Brother, she ...... in Poxi."

"Tell me why Per Creek is out there?"

"Poxi went to the pear orchard a few days ago to relax, and just came back today, I just listened to what happened, and before I could figure out what was going on, the person sent by my brother came to pick me up and enter the palace."

"Could it be that someone has leaked Xi'er's whereabouts?"

"In the past, our mother and daughter also went to the pear orchard to live for some time every once in a while, and there was nothing wrong with it. It's just that this time I was infected with a cold, and Xi'er said that she wanted to live by herself for a few days. I thought it would only be a few days, and I agreed. How could it be such a coincidence? ”

"It just happened that one entered the city and the other went out of the city is a coincidence, it is a coincidence that the horses on both sides are out of control, it is a coincidence that the king of Qin saved Xi'er, and it is a coincidence that the Xiangshi just happened to be the king of Qin. It's all too logical. ”

King Zhao knew in his heart that there must be a reason for something, but there were too many things that didn't make sense. Not to mention anything else, it is impossible for Ying Zheng to use the identity of Perxi's "Liyang Phoenix Girl" to do anything. Because this secret is only known to their brothers and sisters and Empress Dowager Zhao, that is to say, no one else in the world knows this fact, not to mention, the so-called disaster of the country and the destruction of the world, no one in the world is sure what kind of situation it is. But King Zhao is still a little unbearable, what if the secret on Poxi's body is revealed and it leads to death? .

"Brother, I don't care about any coincidences or not, I just beg my brother to let Perxi quickly retreat from this cusp. I'm afraid I'll have long nights and dreams if I wait any longer. ”

"My silly sister, is it okay if I say it now? I think the meaning of King Qin is already imperative for Poxi. He has been in Zhao for so long, what kind of high-ranking daughter, and the princely and noble daughter didn't choose for him? He wasn't interested in any of them, not even in the slightest. Today, for the first time, Xi'er asked me if he could be hired, isn't this what it means to identify Xi'er? ”

"Brother, in my life, I only hope that Xi'er will find an ordinary person to marry and have children, or even never marry for the rest of my life. A top king like King Qin is fatal to Poxi at any time, as long as her "Liyang Phoenix Girl" mark is known by the world as a symbol of disaster and destruction, she is likely to die. ”

"Don't worry, as long as we don't say it, no one will know what that mark represents."

"Brother, don't forget, if Xi'er and King Qin become husband and wife, can they still hide it? And the head of the Bashu Feng family also knows what the mark represents. How do you hide this? ”

"Don't worry, even if Xi'er and King Qin become husband and wife, can King Qin tell others that there is something on his wife?"

"No, in any case, I am deeply disturbed. Go on like this...... Something will happen to Xi'er. ”

King Zhao didn't know how powerful this was, if Poxi was just an ordinary woman, King Qin took a fancy to it, for King Zhao, he could temporarily buy some time to prevent Qin from staring at Zhao Guo, why not marry Poxi to Qin State. If it weren't for his daughter King Qin, he would have to give up his own daughter. Before he was his father, he was the king of Zhao.

King Zhao naturally loves the smooth and beautiful Perxi in his heart, and only hopes that everything can continue to be calm, otherwise......

Looking at his brooding brother, Crane's heart beat hard. She knew that her brother had given them enough shelter for their mother and daughter, but it was all the care given without any danger to Zhao Guo, and once she crossed this line, even if she had to sacrifice Perxi, it was inevitable.

King Zhao knew that Poxi's life could not tolerate the slightest mistake for his sister, but at this point, things were beyond his control. Unless King Qin himself takes the initiative to give up, but is that possible?

"Girl, for now, you have to be mentally prepared, Xi'er...... Marrying into the Qin State is probably difficult to recover. ”

"......" Wanhe looked at King Zhao with understanding and stubbornness, and secretly decided in her heart that if her brother had to compromise as the king of Zhao, then she, as a mother, could only fight for her daughter and peel off a piece of the world for Perxi.

The crane returned to the courtyard and went directly to the Perxi room. When I entered the door, I saw Perxi sitting on the couch in front of the window with a pensive face, and she didn't even notice that she came in.

"Xi'er."

Poxi came back to his senses and saw that it was his mother, so he got up: "Mother, you came back from the palace so soon?" ”

"Hmm..."

"Uncle can tell me how to solve it?"

When my mother learned about what happened today, she was shocked, and she could hardly say that she was not calm. didn't say much and was accepted into the palace by her uncle, but I was afraid that even my uncle didn't want her to marry into Qin. Since I was a child, I knew that I had secrets in my body that I was afraid that outsiders would know. Originally, she didn't care too much, but now it seems that she can't be calm without caring alone. Mother, uncle, and... Brother Zheng... Will they all be implicated in something bad? And could the source of this "badness" be yourself?

She began to be curious about her life experience, and began to think about the pear blossom on her left chest, an "invisible" pear blossom.

The crane's face was much calmer than before: "Xi'er, what do you think of yourself?" ”

"Xi'er is naturally looking at flowers in the fog, and she doesn't know what happened. But......" she carefully looked at the expression of the crane and said, "The mother seems to be unwilling for her daughter to be chosen by the King of Qin?" ”

"King Qin himself is impeccable, but since ancient times, there are many women in the harem, and they have inexplicably finished their lives. My Xi'er is so simple, I don't even want you to marry ordinary rich and noble people, let alone the harem of King Qin, the overlord of the world. What a cold place it is, how can I be willing to risk your life with you? ”

"Is my mother really just worried that I won't be able to cope with the harem life for the rest of my life, so I don't agree, or is it actually because my background is not suitable for marrying into a high-ranking family?"

"You ......"

"Just because I never ask doesn't mean I never know."

Listening to Po Xi's directness, he seemed to suddenly feel that his daughter was not so naΓ―ve and ignorant, she was just silent.

"Could it be that Xi'er, are you willing to marry Qin State?"

"If I have to get married, the only one who can't be reluctant is my mother, and the rest doesn't seem to be my own decision, right?"

"Yes, we can't be the master, but I'm going to be the master anyway... I hope you will stay with me all the time. ”

"If I could, why wouldn't I want to be with my mother forever?"

Perxi thought to herself: If she hadn't met Brother Zheng, she probably wouldn't want to marry anywhere. However, not only did they meet, but they also deeply put each other into the soul of life. Therefore, even her mother cannot be a reason for her to give up running to Zheng's brother.

"Do you ...... to King Qin?"

"Mother is worried, I only met King Qin today, and I don't have any extra thoughts."

"But why don't you seem to mind being married to the Qin State, and you're not worried at all?"

"No, it's the mother, who doesn't seem to have answered Xi'er's question yet. What is there about Xi'er that makes her mother talk about him like this? ”

The crane was like a slap in the face, she had never seen her daughter in such an aggressive tone, she seemed familiar and unfamiliar: "There is nothing that cannot be said." She paused and opened her mouth, took a light breath and said, "If it's about your biological father, I admit I'm sorry for you, but Xi'er can you be considerate of her mother, don't ask more, I ......"

Looking at the tearful eyes of the crane, Poxi couldn't bear it: "Mother doesn't want to say it, don't say it, Xi'er doesn't care so much about who her biological father is, as long as... As long as everyone is safe, even if it is married to the ends of the earth, no matter where I am, I will make myself happy, is my mother willing to believe in her daughter? ”

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Wanhe felt that her daughter seemed to have no idea whether she married King Qin or not, but the emotions revealed were willing. What is the reason for this?

On this day, how many people's ordinary daily life was broken. A turbulent undercurrent flowed invisibly throughout Jinyang City.

Outside the gate of Li Mu's courtyard, the window of a noble chariot was opened by a slender white jade hand. Looking in from the car window, it turned out to be Princess Ximo's resentful face. The face that used to be beautiful is now ugly because of anger. She looked silently at the closed door, her hand clutching the window almost breaking.

In less than half a day, the whole Jinyang City knew that King Qin had chosen the little princess of Poxi, the stepdaughter of General Li Mu. Naturally, this bombshell news also reached Xi Mo's ears. She ran angrily to find King Zhao's theory, but she never expected that she would hear the shocking secret of "destroying the country and destroying the world" outside the door.

Although she hadn't figured out the cause and effect yet, she at least understood that the person King Qin had a crush on was an unknown person. It was rare for her to calm down and think, and since she was a child, she would occasionally hear adults talk about this cousin she had never met. Because he only returned to Zhao from Bashu five years ago, but his aunt and her daughter hardly showed up, so they haven't had a chance to see each other so far.

Because Aunt Crane was not familiar with her, she never cared about this aunt and her daughter. She can accept that they are not related to each other. However, she will not tolerate snatching away the position of the queen of Qin.

Forcefully slammed the window and ordered the waiter who was rushing to the car: "Go to Liangfu"

Ximo and Liang Wan's mother's family are not very close, but after all, they are close blood relatives, and they still have some contacts. When she entered the door, she asked someone to call her uncle Liang Bao, who was uneducated and unskilled, to see her.

Liang Bao was a little surprised when he heard that his niece Ximo came to him, and thought: Although this eldest princess is related to herself, she usually doesn't care much about him, and she suddenly came to him, she can't come because she respects him. I'm afraid that I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do. He muttered in his heart, but he still didn't dare to delay to see Perxi.

"See the eldest princess." Liang Bao saluted to Ximo, although it was her own uncle, but Ximo was still higher than him after all, and he had to worship.

"Uncle doesn't have to be polite." Ximo's sitting body didn't move, and Liang Bao also stayed respectfully and respectfully.

"I wonder what the princess commands?"

"It's nothing, because I know that my uncle often plays in and out of the city, I must know where the scenery is pleasant, I have been depressed recently, I want to take a good break, I don't know if there is a recommended place outside the city."

"There are many of them, such as the Camellia Valley at the South Gate, the stream is clear, the flowers and plants are thick, because the scenery has a unique character, and there are many people who go. When the weather is nice, it's lively. ”

"Don't want a crowded place." Ximo refused a little irritably.

"Uh...... It is the cliff cave in the east of the city, where few people usually go. I just heard that there is a big white tiger there, but no one has encountered it until now, and I don't know if it's true or not. The scenery is excellent, I went with a friend once last month, and I didn't see a white tiger, but there is no guarantee that there will be no beasts. ”

"What's there to be afraid of a big white tiger, just bring a few more guards, not to mention maybe someone will bluff people."

"The princess is right, is the princess planning to go?"

"Go, but I have to arrange it first, and then inform my uncle to take me there."

After speaking, she got up and left the Liang Mansion with the palace maid. The reason why she came to Liang Bao was because she knew what kind of person Liang Bao was, he had a bunch of fox friends and dog friends, and he would eat, drink and have fun all day long. is a drunken and womanizer.

She has to find a way to contact the mother and daughter of the Crane, and find a way to bring out the "cousin" who does not leave the door, and it doesn't matter if she dies "accidentally" or is defiled by Liang Bao. Even if King Qin wants to count it on her head, she doesn't believe it, if King Qin knows that Poxi is a disaster star that will destroy the country and the world, he will not be indifferent.

In short, she had to make sure that no matter what, she would remove any stumbling blocks that would prevent her from becoming the king of Qin.
