79, win poems and return to Qin
Xiao Zhen was not interested in beauties and property, and was about to say no. King Yu of Chu gave him another "surprise", and wanted to return Princess Yingshi to the Qin State.
Ying Shi entered Chu twice, once as a hostage in Chu, and once as a voluntary promise to marry the king of Chu. The marriage was not completed, but she has been stranded in Chu State. Everyone invariably chose to forget about her, and no one took the initiative to mention what to do with this princess.
She is twenty-one years old, and among the princely and noble daughters, she can really be regarded as old. An ordinary noble girl is already married at the age of fifteen, and at her age, there are already two or three children. She was not in a hurry, because she always believed that she would marry Xiao Zhen after all.
Xiao Zhen looked at Ying Shi who came in full costume and frowned. The raised eyebrows make her look seductive and domineering. This kind of makeup on the corners of the eyes is only liked by elderly ladies to cover up old age. But Yingshi used it on herself, but it brought out her undoubted cold temperament more and more.
She walked over step by step, with a look like declaring war: "Marquis Wuyang took the palace back to Qin State, it is another miraculous feat, and the king will definitely reward you well." ”
Xiao Zhen glanced at her danko-painted fingers and didn't say a word. Qin Wang Yingxuan is just a hairy child, but he can sit firmly on the throne most of the reason because he has a sister who is not easy to mess with.
Ying Shi smiled charmingly, like a snow lotus suddenly blooming on a glacier, exuding a dazzling light: "There are a lot of people accompanying this palace, and you should ask Wuyang Hou to take good care of it along the way, don't have any accidents." As she spoke, she quietly put a dried pine cone into Xiao Zhen's hand.
As soon as his fingers touched the pine cone, Xiao Zhen's eyes immediately became as sharp as a blade. That's the stuff of the Ink Ballad......
At that time, she didn't know Xiao Zhen's real name, and she could only scream "hazelnut, hazelnut". Xiao Zhen carried her on his back and walked in the snow all night, and the two of them were like fools, picking and choosing to find the largest and most complete pine cones.
She always carried this pine cone with her and did not lose it...... The corner of Xiao Zhen's heart was full of soft waves, he didn't know whether the heavens were too good or too bad, and always when he thought he had fallen to the bottom, he stretched out a dead branch to him.
It's just that how could the ink ballad fall into the hands of Ying Shi, shouldn't she still be in Qindu? Xiao Zhen did not receive any summons from Suzaku, and did not know that she had left the Qin Kingdom.
Ying Shi proudly got into the carriage and left Xiao Zhen with a defiant look. Xiao Zhen lifted the curtain of the car, and what he saw at a glance was that Mo Yu was tied to the side of the carriage, his hands were tied, and a small dagger was against his neck.
Mo Yu bit an east pearl in his mouth, and he couldn't speak, so he could only open his misty eyes and look at Xiao Zhen. Swept on his face by her eyes, Xiao Zhen was almost carried away by anger, even when he was extremely angry because of her bad temper, he was never willing to tie her up like this.
Ying Shi looked at him indifferently, and the dagger in his hand pushed forward a little: "The personal maid of this palace is very understanding." When the palace returns to the palace of King Qin, I will give her to you, and before that, along the way, the palace will ask her to serve her every step of the way. Wuyang Hou, do you have any questions? ”
Xiao Zhen picked up Ying Shi's chin: "I'm the most picky person, the maidservant girl sent by the princess, it's best not to have any problems." Otherwise, even if you go back to the Qin Palace, you won't want to be peaceful! ”
The two pinched each other's weaknesses, and they were unexpectedly safe along the way. For more than ten days, Ying Shi has been on the carriage, firmly grasping the talisman of Mo Yu.
It wasn't until he entered the palace of King Qin and saw the red and black flags of the palace guards that Ying Shi got out of the carriage alone and went directly to the Hanzheng Palace, where King Qin lived. The guards of the Qin Palace, who have been loyal to the royal family for generations, are absolutely loyal and reliable. It was only at this time that Ying Shiti's heart was put down.
When there are outsiders, she still has to take into account the majesty of the princess, so she can only move dignified steps. Turning a long corridor, she couldn't help but run up quickly with her skirt in her arms, hugging the oncoming teenager.
"Sister," the boy buried his head in Ying Shi and rubbed it, "You're finally back." ”
"Yes, I'm back," Ying Shi's eyes glistened with tears, "Brother Xuan, I will never allow anyone to bully you again." ”
……
Xiao Zhen jumped into the carriage and cut the rope of the cow tendon. Mo Yu lost his help and threw himself into the carriage. Xiao Zhen reached out to hug her, and as soon as his hand touched the corner of her clothes, Mo Yu was so shocked that he dodged back, but he really didn't have the strength in his body, so he was still hugged by Xiao Zhen.
A pair of big eyes, full of fear.
Xiao Zhen was stung by such a flickering look, and held her cold hand: "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, unless you are willing, I will not do anything like that to you again." I'll take you back to rest, okay? ”
Mo Yu wanted to push him away and walk by himself, but he couldn't even stand up. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in addition to the binding, Ying Shi also gave her medicine that would make her whole body sore.
Xiao Zhen was originally annoyed that she had fled again, but seeing her like this, she knew that she had also suffered outside, and the unbearable in her heart finally overshadowed her resentment. He wrapped Mo Yu in his robe, picked her out, and rode back to the mansion.
I haven't been back to the mansion for several months, and I should have sent someone to notify the maids in the mansion to clean up and greet him, but Xiao Zhen thought about the situation of the ink rumor all the way, and even forgot about it. When he stepped through the door of the mansion, he realized that something was wrong.
The house was lifeless, and there was still a trace of blood on the stone carving at the door. The front hall was smashed into a mess, and there were traces of setting fire to the backyard. The entire Wuyang Marquis Mansion is like it has been ransacked by bandits. No wonder Suzaku didn't send any message, no matter how good her kung fu was, it would be difficult for a woman to resist the prepared soldiers.
Xiao Zhen covered Mo Yu's eyes and didn't let her see it, and he completely understood it in his heart. Naturally, there will be no bandits in the capital of Qin to loot openly, and the person who makes such an angry move can only be King Yingxuan of Qin. He was angry that Xiao Zhen didn't listen to his orders, so he could only slaughter his maidservants and concubines to vent his anger.
What made Xiao Zhen's heart even more chilling was that no one informed him of such a big incident. Those nobles of the Qin State must also be happy to see this disaster happen. No matter what kind of peerless feats Xiao Zhen makes, he is always a native of Chu and has the blood of Chu State.
Mo Yu lay in his arms, feeling his back slowly stiffen. She knew that kind of suffering, she had suffered so much humiliation, but she couldn't say a word, and tomorrow morning, she would have to accept the reward of the person on the throne with a smile, and she would have to appear calmly in front of the nobles of the Qin State, and she couldn't let them see the joke.
Even she didn't realize it, she sighed softly and wrapped her hands around Xiao Zhen's neck. The palms of his hands were still cold, but they were much warmer than the cold wind that night.
……
"Sister, you don't have to go back to Longquan Palace, just stay in Hanzheng Hall to accompany me." King Qin pulled Ying Shi and was tired of her like a child.
"Then what's the matter, the king should make the queen this year......"
Before Ying Shi's words were finished, he was interrupted by King Qin: "Do you even want to point fingers at me?" I don't want to welcome the queen, those ministers, they all want to send their daughters in, and no one really likes me, they just fancy this throne. Ying Xuan suddenly became furious, took off the crown on his head, and slammed it to the ground: "Big deal, I won't be this King of Qin, let them rob it, whoever grabs it will do it, it's okay, right?" ”
Ying Shi shook his head secretly, he hadn't seen him for a few years, and this younger brother's personality became more and more withdrawn and irritable. When he was a child, he was just timid and cowardly, but now he is about to lose his temper at every turn, and even kill people to vent his anger.
She pulled Ying Xuan over and patted him on the back: "What kind of stupid thing to say, you were born as the eldest son, and you were born to be the king of Qin." There is still half a sentence, she didn't say it, if she didn't become the king of Qin, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to live.
Ying Xuan slowly calmed down, suddenly remembered something, and said to Ying Shi with a smile: "By the way, Sister, Xiao Zhen came back with you, right?" I really want to see the look on his face now, and I gave him a big gift. While he is away, I will kill all the slaves and concubines in his family, and see if he dares to humiliate us at will in the future. ”
Hearing his words, Ying Shi's face changed suddenly, and he pulled Ying Xuan's wrist: "What did you say?" You...... What stupidity! ”
"Sister, are you blaming me?" Ying Xuan looked at her with three points of pity and seven points of dissatisfaction, "I am also angry for you, I am the King of Qin, why do we have to endure him and let him in everything?" ”
Knowing that it was useless to say more, Ying Shi's tone softened: "Brother Xuan, I don't blame you, it's just that since we have started, we have to do it simply." Xiao Zhen is a cancer, Sister Ah will have to get rid of it for you sooner or later, so that you can become a veritable King of Qin. ”
……
The pavilion in the mansion was not too damaged, Xiao Zhen called the sergeant and hurriedly sorted out a bedroom to let Mo Yu rest.
When he waited outside, he found that Mo Yu had been shrinking up, as if he was afraid of the cold. It was only September, and the night was a little chilly, but it was far from cold. Mo Yu was already wrapped in a thick cloak, and he still felt cold. Xiao Zhen pinched her hand, starting from her fingertips, it was cold.
Maybe it's because I haven't eaten well or slept well during this time, but I will probably recover after making up for it. Xiao Zhen didn't think much about it, and took her into the bedroom where she lived before, so that she could have a good rest.
Mo Yu lay on the empty bed, his mind in turmoil. After a big circle, I actually came back here. Half-asleep, she seemed to see Su Tian again, standing in the fog and looking at her. She chased after her, wanting to touch the corner of Su Tian's clothes, but Su Tian turned around, and the figure became fainter and fainter along with the mist.
"Su Tilt!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, "Why don't you speak? Do you blame me, blame me for breaking my promise to you? ”
No matter how she shouted, Su Tian didn't say a word, just looked at her with a pair of compassionate eyes and shook her head slowly.
