As soon as the morning sun shone into the room, a palace maid came to serve Chu Shuyao and got up, "Girl, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, this morning I will take you to the secret land of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom to learn the art of poison Gu, and please get up early and let the slave maid serve you to change your clothes!" ”

Chu Shuyao slept in a daze, when she was in the Western Chu Kingdom, her father and mother loved her very much, where would anyone dare to disturb her rest!

But here, she can't play the princess's petty nature. I can only vaguely respond, "Well, okay, that's it." ”

The palace maid saw that she just agreed, but she refused to get up, so she could only shake her up on her own initiative and force her to dress. After all, the prince is still waiting, and if the prince is made to wait for a long time, it will be their sin.

After tossing for a long time, the palace maids finally pushed out Chu Shuyao, who was already dressed properly.

Chu Shuyao had already come to her senses, and when she saw His Royal Highness the Prince, she quickly showed a smile to show her friendliness, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are really diligent!" Got up so early. In order to teach me the art of poison, it is really tireless! I can't thank you enough. ”

"It's good to know." Jiang Zepu responded coldly.

"Why don't you hurry up? Departing at this point now, it will be afternoon when I arrive at the place. ”

"Why is it so far? What kind of place is that? Chu Shuyao asked with a grin.

"You'll find out when you go." Jiang Zepu threw her a roll of the eye.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Jiang Zepu asked her while holding a maroon horse.

She nodded.

"Then this horse, let it be ridden for you!" Jiang Zepu's face suddenly became unsightly. made Chu Shuyao unpredictable.

The two rode their horses and galloped, and Jiang Zepu's gloomy face gradually became better-looking.

He thought in his heart that even if he couldn't protect the beautiful woman and ride a horse with her, it would be a romantic thing to be able to ride a horse with such a chic and comfortable woman.

What seems like a trivial thing actually represents the big picture.

Although Jiang Zepu is good enough, with Chu Shuyao, he will always meet opponents. How can two men and women who get along with each other in such a way develop in depth?

When she arrived at the place, Chu Shuyao knew what it meant to be an eye-opener. Although she used to be the princess of Xichu, she had seen all kinds of good things.

But she really hasn't seen a place created by the unique topography of the southern Xinjiang country.

Twisting and turning, she saw a cave in the mountain.

From the outside, it was a small black hole. She guessed that there must be some poisonous insects and beasts inside, and there must be nothing good anyway.

Otherwise, Jiang Zepu wouldn't have brought her here from afar, saying that he would teach her the art of poison Gu.

But after entering the cave, she knew what it meant to be a cave.

Inside, it is simply beautiful, the stalactites hang on the upper wall of the cave, perhaps because of the countless cross-reflections of countless quartz stones in the cave, which actually makes the cave present a colorful scene.

"Oh my God! It's so beautiful here! Chu Shuyao exclaimed in amazement and praised unabashedly.

This kind of appearance of never seeing the world made Jiang Zepu feel very comfortable. The reason why he brought her here was to see her like this.

Now, he has achieved his goal.

"Didn't you say you were going to teach me the art of poison Gu? Why are you bringing me here? Chu Shuyao's sudden question broke the wonderful atmosphere in the cave.

Jiang Zepu said with some unhappiness, "Keep going inside, there is the king of the hundred Gu of the Southern Frontier Country." ”

"The King of Hundred Gu? Isn't it amazing? Chu Shuyao tilted her head and asked.

"That's nature."

Jiang Zepu said with confidence that Chu Shuyao was still looking forward to it, she felt that the king of the hundred Gu must be very terrifying, with a fierce and vicious appearance.

And when she saw the so-called King of Hundred Gu, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.

Pointing to the caterpillar on the ground, he asked incredulously, "This is the ...... of the Hundred Gu King? ”

"Don't underestimate it. The previous generation of the King of the Hundred Gu had died, and before he died, he bred this only offspring. Whether the poisonous Gu technique of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom can be passed on depends on it. ”

"What?" Chu Shuyao was frightened, and immediately thought of the most important point, "But don't breeding offspring pay attention to the combination of yin and yang?" Now that there is only one small caterpillar left, how can it reproduce? How to pass on the poisonous Gu technique of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. The king of the hundred Gu is self-referring. ”

"Oh, I see!" Chu Shuyao suddenly realized.

"Now, I have told you the most important secret of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. If you dare to say it, my southern frontier country will definitely strangle it with all its might. ”

Hearing Jiang Zepu say these scary words, Chu Shuyao scolded in her heart, since this is the case, why did you bring her here? Isn't this a deliberate threat to her?

But he still said with a shy smile, "Don't worry, of course I won't say it, but it's about my net worth?" ”

"There is no basis for words. This is a secret that only people in our own country will tell, and now I have told you. ”

Hearing this, Chu Shuyao panicked, but still pretended not to understand.

"Rest assured, rest assured, I am my own person, absolutely my own person. I will never betray the secrets of the Southern Frontier Kingdom. ”

When she said this, Jiang Zepu nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's good." When we go back, I will let my father marry you and let you be my crown princess? ”

"What did you say?" Chu Shuyao's eyes widened in surprise. This prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is really fast? Now you actually say that you want to marry yourself?

Even if she is confident that she is indeed excellent, she is not so good, right?

Jiang Zepu thought she was happy and stupid. Teased, "Why are you so happy?" I've never seen the world. ”

Chu Shuyao was so anxious that she stammered when she spoke. "This ...... This matter, can I delay and mention it again, such a sudden solution to a lifelong event makes me difficult to accept for a while. ”

"It's because it's so important that it can't be delayed. Let's go, let's go back first. ”

Jiang Zepu took Chu Shuyao to the old emperor without refusing, saying that he wanted to marry her, but fortunately, the old emperor refused.

After walking out of the old emperor's bedroom in disappointment, Jiang Zepu hurriedly expressed his attitude to her, "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my father and give you an explanation." ”

In the face of such commitment and scorching eyes, Chu Shuyao was really difficult to handle. Only vague words can be made.

At night, the old emperor suddenly summoned her.

She was a little panicked in her heart, this old emperor, wouldn't he want to kill her? But she calmed down and thought about it, probably not. After all, if the old emperor wants to kill her, there are many ways to do it quietly, and there is no need to do it so obviously, which will make the prince unhappy and have a grudge with his son.

She stood respectfully in front of the old emperor, looking very honest and timid.

After a long time, the old emperor waited until Chu Shuyao had lost all his patience before he began to speak.

His first words made Chu Shuyao feel like a great enemy.

"Princess Yan of the Western Chu Kingdom, do you still want to continue pretending?"

This sentence made Chu Shuyao's heart tremble, but immediately, she calmed down.

"Jiang is still old and spicy, the emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Country, it's really powerful." Her unabashed compliments.

The old emperor smiled, "I don't have much power, the reason why I guessed it is because you look too similar to your mother." ”

As soon as he said this, Chu Shuyao suddenly realized that the queen mother, as the mother of a country in the Western Chu Kingdom, had naturally seen the emperors of various countries. This is not surprising either.

"And what are you going to do with me?" Chu Shuyao asked timidly.

"I have no intention of disposing of you."

"From the very beginning, the first time I saw you, and what you did after you came to the Southern Frontier Country, I already guessed your identity. I also perceive that Zepu kid has a crush on you. I also have the intention of bringing about your marriage. After all, you are the wise man of the Western Chu Kingdom, and with your help, Zepu will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of the lord of the Southern Frontier. ”

"But now it seems that Zepu is too affectionate for you, which is not the affection that an emperor should have. The emperor's affection will be his weakness, and he will be suppressed everywhere. ”

"So you want me to die?" Chu Shuyao interrupted the old emperor's words.

"No, I don't want you to die, I just want you to leave Southern Xinjiang and Zepu, so that he can sit on the throne smoothly."

Chu Shuyao smiled, "Can't think of it?" Everyone said that the lord of Southern Xinjiang did not like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he had always reprimanded him. I didn't expect Your Majesty to think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Love your children and plan for them far-reaching. The nobility of the southern Xinjiang country is too powerful. My princes are also quite implicated. If I didn't deliberately get tired of the prince, how could he have lived so well? As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow. ”

Chu Shuyao was silent and noncommittal. said bluntly, "I don't know Your Majesty, can you help me leave?" ”

"It's nature."

"I've already figured it out. I will pretend to agree to your marriage. When the time comes, you just leave secretly. It's just that you need to fix a letter and tell the prince that you don't like him, so you ran away from the marriage. ”

"Your Majesty, are you asking me to be this bad guy?" Chu Shuyao asked playfully.

The old emperor smiled, "Only in this way will the prince lose face and be angry with you." Otherwise, he will still miss you. ”

"I know this son of mine, he is meticulous in everything he does, and he can do it to the extreme. It's a pity that I attach too much importance to feelings. For this, he suffered a little. It's more for his mother's affairs, and I have a grudge against me. ”

"So I want to teach him well, so that he can see some truths for himself. After experiencing some twists and turns, he can have a strong heart and be invincible. ”

Chu Shuyao said sincerely, "I really admire your good intentions. ”

"Alright, let's go. It's late at night, presumably the prince is waiting for you? ”

Chu Shuyao walked out of the old emperor's palace, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Zepu waiting for her.

His face was a little anxious, "Father didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

"Nope." Chu Shuyao replied indifferently.

And beside the old emperor, the loyal chamberlain asked cautiously, "That's the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, and she knows so many secrets of our Southern Frontier Kingdom, why does Your Majesty keep her?" ”

"You don't understand. As long as she stays, the Tanglin Kingdom will definitely be turned upside down by her. When the time comes, look at how arrogant the Tanglin Kingdom is! ”

"Your Majesty."
