Chapter 646: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
Lin Yixuan asked Zhao Xiu to go back first, pretending that nothing had happened, and waiting for him to enter the palace tomorrow to report to his father. On the way back, although Zhao Xiu was unwell, he had a smug smile on his face.
Mingyue, who was also sitting in the sedan chair, said happily: "Congratulations to the county lord, I am about to become the crown princess......
After glancing at her coquettishly, Zhao Xiujiao said shyly: "What nonsense, dead girl, if you go back and you leak a little bit and let your father and mother know, the county lord will definitely tear your mouth!" ā
"The slave doesn't say it, the slave and the maid are only happy for the county lord."
Back at Wuyang Palace, Zhao Xiu immediately asked Mingyue to prepare water, and she wanted to take a good bath.
Just now in the Prince's Mansion, something happened suddenly, she didn't have time to wash her body at all, and she had to clean up quickly, so as not to be seen by her father and mother. Otherwise, even if her mother won't scold her, she herself will be ashamed to death, if it is spread by those talkative girls, will she still live?
Fortunately, Zhao Xiu has always been exquisite, the weather is hot, it is normal to go out and come back to clean, and after freshening up, she changed her clothes, Zhao Xiu was refreshed, and sat in the boudoir with pleasure, thinking that in two days there would be people in the palace to pass the decree, and she was about to become the crown princess, so she couldn't stop laughing.
Secretly thinking back to the previous events, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was impatient at that time, it still gave her the first taste of being a woman, Zhao Xiu couldn't help but reverie, how good it would be if she could always be with His Royal Highness the Prince.
The mood is really good, and finally his wish has come true, but Zhao Xiu can't say it to others, so he can only use the piano to promote the joy in his heart. The sound of the piano was tactful and lingering, and the butterflies flew outside the window, Zhao Xiu only felt that his small sacrifice was worth it, and fortunately he did it.
"The county lord is in a good mood, he really got what he wanted, congratulations to the county lord first."
Suddenly, a voice came, and Zhao Xiu, who was startled, almost broke the strings. The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Zhao Xiu's eyes widened, staring directly at the masked man standing outside the window, almost not calling out.
Without waiting for Zhao Xiu to stand up, the man jumped and had already entered the boudoir, the man looked around arrogantly, as if he was examining Zhao Xiu's boudoir layout, and Zhao Xiu was shocked and angry, angry and ashamed.
How could the boudoir of my daughter's house be broken into by a strange man and look at it so presumptuously!
"Who are you? What do you want? Zhao Xiu leaned against the wall in horror, and his heart had already set off a turbulent wave.
Why would this man say such strange things? He also said that she got what she wanted, did he know what he had done? It's impossible, she didn't reveal anyone except Mingyue, how could she be known? Don't......
Suddenly, Zhao Xiu thought of something, could it be that the matter between her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seen?
Just as she felt that it was impossible, the strange man had already walked towards her with his hands in his hands: "Lord Qinghe, don't doubt it, I have seen everything that happened between you and His Royal Highness the Prince." I really didn't expect the county lord to be so bold, such a thing happened, not only was he not ashamed, but he was also happy to play the piano, it seems that all this is your plan, right? ā
"What do you say, IāI don't understand...... Don't come here, ah-"
As soon as she called out, the other party clasped her chin, and said with a smile: "Although the county lord called, it attracted people, and the county lord was seen in the room with a man, and when the time came, it ruined your reputation, so don't blame me...... Oh, by the way, how could I forget, the county lord's reputation is long gone! Although you are with His Royal Highness the Prince, but after all, you broke your body before you got married, if this kind of thing is spread out, the county lord of the dignified Wuyang Royal Mansion actually did such a depraved thing, I am afraid that you will ......"
"Don't, don't say it...... Please......"
Zhao Xiu was frightened and cried directly, her face was pale, and she kept shaking her head: "Please, don't say it's good or not, what do you want?" ā
She was almost stupid, she didn't expect this to be seen, and it was such a shameful thing. If she says it, she doesn't want to be the crown princess, but I'm afraid that there is no second way to go except death.
But Zhao Xiu's fear was not over, and what the other party said knocked her directly into the abyss.
"Don't cry, I'm not here to scare you. Lord Qinghe, since you have the courage to do such a thing, why should you be afraid? The man's hand holding her chin let go, and patted it on her white and tender face, patting it painfully: "It's just that I didn't expect that you, with the respect of the county lord, would have the courage to design a dignified prince, if you hadn't given him something he shouldn't eat, according to the prince's temperament, he would really be uncontrollable and touched you?" ā
His heart was beating violently, and Zhao Xiu was cold.
"Lin Yixuan was actually designed by a woman, you said that if he knew all this, even if I didn't divulge your ugly things, would he still marry a scheming woman like you? Even he dares to calculate, who knows if you will do something more terrible in the future? ā
With a plop, Zhao Xiu finally couldn't stand on his feet and collapsed to the ground: "Woo woo...... Don't say it, you, what do you want? Raising a pair of hazy teary eyes, her trembling shoulders were shaking, "You want silver, don't you?" I'll give it all to you, to you...... Please don't say it......"
Such a beautiful plan, I didn't expect it to fail in a blink of an eye, and I was blackmailed for it, if I did it again, Zhao Xiu would definitely not want to. It's a pity that she regrets that she can't turn back time and regrets not being at the beginning.
"Hehehehe...... I am not short of money, I only lack a suitable person like the county lord. ā
Zhao Xiu became alert and immediately stopped crying: "No, I will never agree to you." Don't you think ......?"
As soon as he saw Zhao Xiu's defensive appearance, the strange man smiled, his eyes full of contempt: "Just you, I can't look down on you yet, I have taken a fancy to the county lord, your mind and boldness, but I am not interested in your body!" If I want a woman, what kind of no, need to go through such a twist and turn to blackmail you? ā
Only then did she know that she had misunderstood, Zhao Xiu was ashamed and afraid, and it took a long time to stand up, she hid far away, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "You want me...... What to do? ā
"I haven't thought about what to do yet, but as long as the county lord agrees first, everything is not a problem." The man smiled gloomily: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, not only will I not reveal your secret, but I will also give you a big gift to congratulate you on getting what you want and becoming the crown princess." With this identity as a cover, some things are more convenient to do, aren't they? ā
Although the other party promised not to divulge it, Zhao Xiu had a feeling that once she got involved with this person, she was afraid that there would be endless troubles, but at this moment, she had no other choice. Even if this person asked her to jump off the cliff, she had to jump, and now, it was no longer out of her control.
ā¦ā¦
As the days passed, Luo Qingluan didn't realize that there were countless dangers waiting for him, so he only raised the fetus with peace of mind and waited for the birth of the child. And the reason why her mood became better and better was that she received a second letter from Nalan Night.
Nalan Ye promised her that in a month at most, he would be able to deal with the affairs of North Vietnam.
What exactly did he do, he didn't say, Luo Qingluan didn't ask, she believed what Nalan Ye said, as long as he promised it, he would definitely do it. She just needs to recuperate her body with peace of mind, maybe when the child is born, Nalan will still be able to watch her by her side at night.
Since then, news of North Vietnam has also come back intermittently, and at this time, Luo Qingluan is about to give birth in more than a month.
In the Beiyue Palace, Nalan Ye finally shot mercilessly, using Bai Yixuan's power to kill a group of disobedient Beiyue ministers. For these people, he didn't have so much mercy, since the North Vietnamese Emperor Han Xun had fled, if these people continued to be stubborn, it was better to kill them directly.
But for those who were willing to submit, he was merciful and promised generous terms to stabilize the situation in North Vietnam. However, in just over a month, the forces of North Vietnam completely collapsed, and only a small force led by Liu Tianyou, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities, was still absconding to confront, but it was no longer long.
For Nalan Ye's methods and might, Bai Yixuan became more and more shocked and deeply frightened. In addition to not daring to disobey, she also wanted to be completely attached to Nalan Ye, otherwise once Han Xun came back, she would have no chance of surviving at all. Even if she can escape back to Southern Wei, she is a princess who has defeated the whole country, and her father will not recognize her anymore, but he is afraid that he will send her back.
In the Dragon Yin Palace, Nalan sat on the golden dragon chair at night, looking at Bai Yixuan.
Full of apprehension, Bai Yixuan didn't know what Nalan Ye sent someone to do with her. In the past, when she wanted to see him, he didn't pay attention to him, and let her try her best, but she didn't seem to see it. But now, with the help of her hand, he has controlled ninety percent of North Vietnam in his hands, and he is only one short of a righteous and bright name.
Today's Nalan Night, almost what is the difference between it and the Emperor of North Vietnam? Not to mention that the more than 100,000 Western Chu soldiers who have returned from the border pass are now stationed outside the city, and three people have also been arranged in the palace, turning the entire North Vietnam directly into his territory.
Cautiously, Bai Yixuan didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and leaned over Nalan Ye and said, "I've seen the King of Chu." ā
"This king came to you to discuss something with you."
It was rare that Nalan Ye actually discussed it with her calmly, and for a while, Bai Yixuan thought that she had heard it wrong, how could it be? Nalan Ye is almost equivalent to the regent of North Vietnam, is there anything to discuss with her? Unless, this matter has to be her, that's why he ......
A thought flashed through his mind, and Bai Yixuan became irrepressibly excited.
Could it be that now, Nalan Ye wants to break away from Western Chu and establish himself as king? As long as he wants to become the lord of North Vietnam, he is bound to turn against Western Chu, and now she is his best helper, who can help him completely control North Vietnam, and can also use her identity as the princess of Southern Wei to use Southern Wei to make Western Chu jealous.
If that's the case, then she and Nalan Ye ......
For Bai Yixuan, who had no way to walk at this time, it was simply joy from the sky.
But he didn't dare to express this emotion, Bai Yixuan became more and more respectful: "The king of Chu is polite, just say something." ā
