"What did you say?!" The king of Huainan stepped forward quickly and grabbed the soldier's collar.

So the soldier repeated what he had just said.

King Huainan loosened the collar of the soldier, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty anger.

Prince Rui on the side frowned and said: "Didn't the Southern Plains Kingdom say that it would only pass through Huainan, and only attack the north border, and not move Huainan?" What is the cause of chaos on our borders now? ”

"Does that need to be said?" King Huainan kicked the chair on the side, and the chair was immediately kicked away, "The old fox of the Emperor of the Southern Plains struck the west, betrayed the agreement with us, and wanted to take advantage of the exhaustion of the fight with the Emperor of the Northern Plains, and then kill them all!" ”

At the beginning, he knew that Emperor Nanyuan was an ally who was not trustworthy and could not be fully trusted.

Therefore, even if he accepted the troops sent by Tianze Kingdom and Duan Wangren, he did not cooperate with Nanyuan Kingdom to guard against Nanyuan Kingdom.

It's just that the city gate was opened to the southern kingdom, allowing it to smoothly enter the border of the northern border.

Who knew that after this old treacherous and cunning thing attacked Beilin, when Huainan and Beilin were exhausted, they killed it again.

Prince Rui: "This old thing, actually rushed what we were going to do, you must know that he will come to this move, we should guard against the 800,000 army when he is close to the Huainan territory." ”

Originally, he and Uncle Ten also wanted to take advantage of the war between the Southern Yuan Kingdom and the Northern Lin, and they would kill them in the capital and enjoy the benefits of the fishermen.

Now he has been calculated by Emperor Nanyuan.

A military advisor said: "It's useless, there are 800,000 troops in the southern plains, if we defend him at that time, it will also be an egg to hit the stone, he is too lazy to slaughter the two cities in the north and the border, and will directly slaughter the city of Huainan." ”

If that were the case, maybe they wouldn't have had a chance to speak here now.

King Huainan asked the military advisor with a cold face, "How many troops do we have now?" ”

The military advisor replied: "Lord Wang, after more than half a month of fighting, we have suffered a lot of defeats, lost 250,000 soldiers, and only 200,000 troops remained. ”

Another general said: "But three days later, it will be the day when we will continue to wage war with Emperor Beilin." ”

King Huainan gritted his teeth, "You go and inform the soldiers below, continue to fight in three days, as long as we still have people, we have to fight to the end with Emperor Beilin!" ”

After speaking, he lifted the camp tent and rode back to the Huainan Palace.

King Huainan returned to the house to bathe, changed into a clean brocade robe, and washed away the smell of blood.

Then, he went to the main courtyard.

When they got there, the eunuch sang the news, "The prince has arrived!" ”

Not long after, Shangguan Xixi came out wearing a mint-colored skirt, "The concubine has seen the prince, and the prince is safe." ”

King Huainan glanced at the woman obliquely.

When his eyes fell on the pair of ginkgo hairpins on the woman's head, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes instantly became fierce.

When she got up, she saw the man staring at her head, and his eyes were like knives on her head.

Although the man in front of him was full of royal spirit, it was the first time he looked at her with such eyes.

Moreover, in the past, he would support her, but today he didn't help her, and his expression was not right.

Xixi was a little surprised and said, "What's the matter, but the concubine's hair is messy?" ”

King Huainan didn't answer the woman's words, but asked solemnly, "Where did the pair of hairpins on your head come from?" Who allowed you to wear this pair of hairpins? ”

Xixi: "Recently, a new batch of jewelry has been purchased in the house, I think this pair of hairpins is very special, it is composed of red gold ginkgo biloba and silver ginkgo biloba, which is neither too cold, nor too luxurious, delicate and beautiful, so I chose a pair of such jewelry." ”

She raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head, "What, is there any problem with this hairpin?" ”

King Huainan: "......"

Seeing that the man didn't speak, she was not happy.

Over the years, the man in front of her has doted on her, and she has long been spoiled by him.

Ever since he saw her today, he hasn't given her a good look, nothing is right.

not only questioned the hairpin on her head, but also didn't answer her words and ignored her.

Xixi said dissatisfiedly: "What did the prince say, who allowed me to wear this hairpin, as a princess, what to wear, do I still have your permission?" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the man raised his hand and swept at her.

Due to the perennial practice of martial arts, men just raise their hands with the palm wind.

Xixi thought that the man was going to slap her, so she turned her head slightly sideways to dodge.

She was only halfway through hiding before she turned back and looked directly into the man's gaze.

She wanted to see how dare he hit her!

It turned out that she had misunderstood, and the man did not hit her.

However, in front of everyone present, King Huainan took off the hairpin on her head.

Because the man's movements were neat and rude, he hurt Xixi's scalp, and she couldn't help but gasp, "...... hiss"

Suddenly, the hair that was originally high and coiled up was scattered on the shoulders, and it was unkempt.

But the man didn't care whether she was in pain or not, no matter if her image was damaged, he just held the pair of ginkgo hairpins tightly in the palm of his hand, as if he was protecting a treasure.

Xixi glared at the man in front of her.

It's just a pair of hairpins, as for letting him treat her like this?

Or is she not even as good as a pair of hairpins?

The king of Huainan was already upset today because of the affairs of the Southern Plains.

Now that I see Xixi wearing this pair of hairpins, I am even more angry.

He held the hairpin in his left hand and pointed to Xixi with his right, "Do you think you can replace her by looking like her, wearing the jewelry she once wore, and sitting in the main room where she used to be?" This king tells you that it will never be! ”

Xixi was still confused.

It wasn't until she heard the man's words that she immediately understood.

Over the years, everyone said that she looked like her deceased wife.

It's just that the prince has never talked to her.

And they have already raised a son and a daughter, and she will not pursue these things, and she will not deal with a dead person.

Now listening to the man's words, Xixi's heart feels a pang.

She said: "On the day I married you, some people said that I looked like your deceased wife, and I haven't asked you for so many years, but now, I want to ask you, is it because I look like her, that's why you married me?" ”

King Huainan: "The princess is too self-righteous, why did this king marry you back then, isn't it obvious because of marriage?" Isn't it the princess who thinks that this king is greedy for your appearance? Or is it because you're a bit like my deceased wife? ”

Hearing this, Xixi heard the sound of her heart breaking.

"Thank you for the reminder." She pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, I almost forgot, back then, we were just for marriage, even if you spoiled me all these years, it was only because I was the princess of Nanyuan Kingdom." ”

"However, the prince has a wrong saying, I am not rare to replace a dead person, I only knew that I looked like her after entering this mansion."
