Chapter 68: Acceptance of Punishment

"Hmph, that's because she's not hungry!" The emperor was angry, "I was spoiled by you, and now I don't even listen to my words!" Take this opportunity to cure her disease. After becoming the queen of Zhou State, it is still like this, that is to lose the face of our Zhao State! ”

"She's our daughter! How can you be ruthless? I don't think there's anything wrong with what Linlang said, you are just for your own purposes, regardless of your daughter's happiness! The queen was also angry.

"A woman's opinion!" The emperor angrily brushed his sleeves away, leaving only the queen to sigh in the imperial study.

On the second day, Zhao Linlang still didn't eat or drink, and her stomach kept screaming. She lay on the bed weakly, no matter how the palace maid persuaded her, she still couldn't get a drop of water.

The queen looked at Zhao Linlang's appearance and was very distressed.

"Queen Mother, I'm fine."

Zhao Linlang reluctantly smiled, and the queen who watched it was even more sad.

On the third day, Zhao Linlang still didn't eat a drop of water, and the whole person was so weak that he could only lie on the bed, and it seemed that even breathing was painful.

"Your Majesty, can you really bear to watch Linlang starve to death?" The queen cried loudly in front of the emperor, and she didn't care about her face at all.

The emperor also realized the seriousness of the matter, he thought that Zhao Linlang was just playing tricks, but he didn't expect it to be serious.

After all, the emperor was still worried about Zhao Linlang, and with the persuasion of the queen, he came to Zhao Linlang's bedroom, and when he saw her haggard appearance, he was distressed but couldn't pull it off.

Zhao Linlang saw the emperor coming, and asked the palace maid to help her get off the bed, bent over and knelt on the ground on her knees without standing firmly, and the queen was distressed when she saw this.

Zhao Linlang shook his head lightly and said weakly: "Linlang has seen his father!" ”

Seeing that she looked like this, the emperor was still reckless, his brows were tightly locked, but the tone of blame implied concern, "You are against your father like this?" ”

"Linlang doesn't dare!" Zhao Linlang lowered his head.

"I think you dare!" The emperor blew his eyebrows angrily and glared.

"Father, Linlang doesn't want to do this, but if you insist on letting me marry the prince of Zhou, then I have no choice." Zhao Linlang's tone was firm, he was not even afraid of death, how could he retreat at this time.

"You!" The emperor pointed his finger at her, and she was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zhao Linlang met the emperor's gaze without fear.

Seeing this atmosphere, the queen was afraid that the two of them would do something stupid in anger, so she hurriedly persuaded the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't be angry." As long as there is a little room for relaxation, Linlang will not do such a thing! ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves and turned his back to Zhao Linlang, and finally took a step back and said: "Our country has always been martial, so let Zhuo Linfeng compete with the prince of Zhou to decide the winner." Whatever the outcome, you and I must accept it! ”

Zhao Linlang was in a trance, Zhuo Linfeng was weak and had no chance of winning, but she also understood that this was the biggest concession the emperor could make.

The queen saw that Zhao Linlang was still stunned, and hurriedly called, "Linlang, why are you still stunned?" ”

Zhao Linlang came back to his senses and thanked him: "Thank you, father!" ”

The emperor turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhao Linlang on the ground before leaving her bedroom.

Zhuo Linfeng took the holy decree of Emperor Zhao and sent the chief manager of Ouchi away. He placed the decree on the table, looking helpless.

Zhuo Linfeng's personal guard, Guard Xie, knew that he was weak and had never practiced martial arts, which was clearly aimed at them. He said angrily: "Second prince, this is obviously embarrassing us. It's better to forget it! ”

Zhuo Linfeng smiled, "How can you forget it like this?" Even if I don't marry this princess of Zhao Kingdom, I must participate in this competition, which is related to the dignity of the country, and I can't let other countries see jokes. ”

"But, your body—" Xie Weibing looked at him worriedly.

Zhuo Linfeng looked up at the blue sky, wondering if she was also so blue there. He raised the corners of his mouth, she was the only one in the world who was so special.

If she knew about it, I don't know if she would persuade him to fight or give up?

The competition was scheduled for three days later, and in such a short period of time, even if Zhuo Linfeng had the heart, he couldn't practice to any extent.

Bai Shuqin learned the news from Zhuo Jinxuan two days before the competition, and she secretly scolded the Emperor of Zhao for being shameless, but there was no way.

"Second brother, what did he say?" Bai Shuqin asked anxiously.

Zhuo Jinxuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhuo Linfeng's choice, but Zhuo Linfeng's body was afraid that if he was slightly injured, his life would hang by a thread.

He said helplessly: "This matter is light, but it is just a competition." At worst, it is about the majesty of the country. I heard that the second brother has agreed. ”

"Why is he so stupid?" Bai Shuqin complained.

"What would you do if it were you?" Zhuo Jinxuan asked curiously, Bai Shuqin always had unexpected ideas in his head.

Bai Shuqin touched her chin and thought about it seriously, as far as she knew, the martial arts of the prince of Zhou Zhou were not strong, but it was more than enough to deal with Zhuo Linfeng.

However, the poisoner is not in line with Zhuo Linfeng's consistent style, and he categorically disdains to do so.

"There's a way, but it's not a low risk." Bai Shuqin shook his head, the method that can't be implemented is equivalent to no way.

Zhuo Jinxuan was very interested, "Let's talk about it." ”

Bai Shuqin glanced at him, "Emperor Zhao must also know that the second brother is weak, if something really happens, it will not be easy for us to explain." The second brother can choose someone to replace him, and he needs to be accompanied by a cut wrist. ”

"Cut your wrists?" Zhuo Jinxuan frowned.

Bai Shuqin nodded and continued: "Second brother's body is different from ordinary people, his blood coagulation function is weak, if he can't be treated for half an hour, his life will be in danger. Let's make a bet on this! ”

Zhuo Jinxuan understood what she meant, and it was indeed a solution. But according to Zhuo Linfeng's temperament, since he agreed, he will definitely play by himself.

"Then there's only one last option!" Bai Shuqin shrugged his shoulders and instructed Qingluan: "You go and bring the pen and paper, and I will tell the second brother to give up." Where there is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower! Love is precious, dignity is more valuable, if it is for life, both can be thrown! It's important to save your life! ”

Zhuo Jinxuan sighed helplessly, reached out and pinched her cheek, and said dotingly: "You, when it comes to crooked reasoning, it's a set." But that's not something to be played around. ”

Qingluan didn't know whether to go now, so Bai Shuqin urged on the side: "Go and get it!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan didn't stop him, he knew in his heart that even if Bai Shuqin wrote this letter, Zhuo Linfeng would probably not listen to it.

After a while, Qingluan took the paper and pen, Bai Shuqin spread the white paper on the stone table, obviously there was an inkstone, but she asked Zhuo Jinxuan to press the corner, don't let the wind blow the paper.

To Zhuo Jinxuan's surprise, Bai Shuqin did not write a letter, but began to paint. As the silhouette gradually appeared, he realized that she was painting a man's nude.

Qingluan also saw it, his face was slightly red, and he silently turned his head to the side not to look.

"What are you doing here?" Zhuo Jinxuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Bai Shuqin didn't raise his head, and replied to him: "Can't you see it?" Body Chart Diagram! ”

After saying that, she continued to draw seriously, the overall structure of the man had been drawn, and her pen fell to the place of the man's lower body.

Zhuo Jinxuan's eyes widened, "Do you still want to paint here?" ”

Bai Shuqin glanced at Zhuo Jinxuan's underside and laughed.

Zhuo Jinxuan hurriedly clamped his legs, turned his body to the side, and warned: "Don't make a bad idea!" ”

"Hehe, don't worry! You're mine, and I don't like to show him to the public. She looked at the picture carefully, waved her hand at Zhuo Jinxuan and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't draw here." Isn't that awkward, you turn it around? ”

Zhuo Jinxuan also felt uncomfortable in this position, and after listening to her, he turned around and continued to watch her paint.

Gradually, Zhuo Jinxuan began to understand her intentions, and she marked all the important acupoints of the human body, as well as the parts that were most vulnerable to injury.

After Bai Shuqin finished painting all this, Zhuo Jinxuan's eyes were full of admiration, his women never disappointed! However, in the next second, he wanted to take it back.

I saw Bai Shuqin on another piece of paper, writing: One move to cut off the leg of the grandson, pinch the root of the life and pull hard, and win!

Zhuo Jinxuan only felt a little chill in his lower body.

Bai Shuqin held the paper into a ball, threw it aside, raised his head and smiled sweetly at him, "I'm done laughing!" I wouldn't be so shameless! ”

Zhuo Jinxuan felt that she had something to say, and with such a lady, he felt in his heart that he was really fortunate in his three lives. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled with her: "Yes, Madame is definitely not such a person." ”

Bai Shuqin smiled and narrowed her eyes, her husband was really interesting. If she does this to him, she will be burying the happiness of the rest of her life!

Seeing that it was not early, Bai Shuqin didn't joke with him, and wrote a letter seriously, rolled it up and put it into the bamboo tube along with the human body structure diagram.

The bamboo tube is a little big, Bai Shuqin ordered Qingluan to pick the largest carrier pigeon, and it was still a little obvious to tie it to his legs.

Bai Shuqin was worried that it would be discovered, so she took it and roasted it and ate it, then her hard work would be in vain.

Zhuo Jinxuan sensed her worry and comforted: "It's okay, this pigeon is carefully raised by Liang and is sensitive." ”

Bai Shuqin looked at him suspiciously, "Sima Liang, are you sure?" ”

It may be that Du Zijun said too many bad things about him in front of Bai Shuqin, in short, he was portrayed as a scholar who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Zhuo Jinxuan couldn't help laughing, "He is occasionally a little childish, but he is a little similar to you." The ability is still very strong, no need to doubt it. ”

"How am I similar to him? Don't talk nonsense, I'm a little girl. Bai Shuqin said extremely disgusted.

"Yes, how can my lovely lady be similar to him, it is the husband who said the wrong thing, admit the punishment!" Zhuo Jinxuan put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her ear affectionately.

Bai Shuqin's bright eyes rolled around, and said with a smile: "Then punish you for serving this girl well tonight!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan closed his eyes and inhaled the fragrance of her hair, and his tone was ambiguous, "Yes, I will listen to Mrs. tonight." ”

The night was dark, the room was wheezing, and spring was quietly coming.

Tomorrow is the agreed day of the martial arts competition, Zhao Linlang is still relieved of Zhuo Linfeng, and secretly sneaks out of the dormitory to find him.

Zhuo Linfeng was not surprised to see her, and his attitude was still polite and detached.

Zhao Linlang was a little disappointed, but she was already very happy when she thought that Zhuo Linfeng was such a character, and she could take the initiative to come over and propose to her father.

She sat beside Zhuo Linfeng, looking at his elegant and cold side face, and her heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.

Zhuo Linfeng turned his head to look at her, and when he saw that her face was slightly red, he asked, "Princess, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Linlang didn't hear it clearly, and after reacting, he shook his head anxiously, "No, it's not uncomfortable." ”

"Is it too hot in here?" Zhuo Linfeng guessed.

Zhao Linlang knew that he was blushing before he asked like this, so he shook his head weakly and quickly changed the topic, "Brother Linfeng, tomorrow's martial arts competition, are you sure?" ”

Zhuo Linfeng smiled slightly and said indifferently: "No, but I will try my best." ”

Zhao Linlang already knew the answer in his heart, but when he heard him say it, he was still inevitably disappointed. This is the last chance, if she fails, she can only obey the emperor's arrangement to marry the crown prince of Zhou.
