Chapter 55: Showdown

escaped for the time being, but Chu Shuyao didn't dare to relax for a moment. She knew that these people were human spirits, and she wouldn't hide from them so easily.

The more she was like this, the more suspicious others became.

So what should she do? Showdown with Meng Yichen and Jiang Zepu?

She just wanted to ask Meng Yichen if his father was the fault of him.

"Nighthawk." Chu Shuyao called softly.

Nighthawk immediately appeared beside Chu Shuyao and responded, "What does the princess command?" ”

"You go and tell Meng Yichen that this grandfather wants to see him and has something to ask him. Tonight, Princess Ben will keep the backyard door for him. ”

Nighthawk was a little surprised, "Has the princess already decided to have a showdown with Meng Yichen?" ”

"Instead of us being reactive, we should take the initiative and change from passive to proactive. Meng Yichen was already beginning to doubt, if he couldn't find out a result, he would not give up. ”

"We reached out to him, and he was caught off guard."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it." The Nighthawk vanished in an instant.

Nighthawk is the leader of Chu Shuyao's secret guard, and Meng Yichen knows him, so when Nighthawk appeared in front of Meng Yichen, Meng Yichen knew that Shuyao had decided to see him.

Nighthawk's tone was neat, without a trace of emotion, "The princess asked me to tell the regent that the back door of Bishui Yaotai will be kept for the regent tonight." ”

Meng Yichen was excited and delighted, "It's really true, it turns out that today's woman is really Shu Yao." I was not mistaken. ”

But immediately, Meng Yichen's face changed, and he said very unacceptably, "How can Shu Yao be in the harem of the Tanglin Kingdom?" Or the quiet nobleman of the Tanglin Kingdom. What's going on? ”

Nighthawk's face turned pale, and he did not answer. He only said to Meng Yichen in a cold voice, "The regent should think about it carefully, how to explain to the princess what he did in the Western Chu Kingdom!" ”

Meng Yichen looked at Nighthawk's cold face, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't ask many words in his mouth, but Nighthawk snorted coldly, turned around and left.

For Meng Yichen, the waiting time is long.

Gao Xin'er noticed the difference between Meng Yichen and asked with concern. Meng Yichen asked her to rest first.

Gao Xin'er's expression was a little lonely, since she married Meng Yichen, the most Meng Yichen said to her was, "You go to sleep first..."

Meng Yichen has always slept in the study, and even if she goes back to sleep in the room, she will not come back until she falls asleep.

In fact, she didn't fall asleep at all, she just didn't want him to know. Even if he didn't love her and was able to sleep next to her, she was already content.

At the beginning, she did feel that Meng Yichen was reluctant to touch her because she couldn't forget Princess Yan in her heart.

But they've been married for so long, if it's a normal man, shouldn't he have such self-control?

Could it be that Meng Yichen has some hidden disease that cannot be seen?

This is Gao Xin'er's inner guess, but she doesn't dare to tell others that she wants to protect Meng Yichen's self-esteem.

So on weekdays, when she shares a bed with Meng Yichen, she never asks for anything.

Gao Xin'er waited for a long time, but Meng Yichen didn't come in. It's already time, and she's going to have to let him in and rest.

Gao Xin'er came to the study outside, but she didn't see Meng Yichen. I was a little anxious.

She subconsciously wanted to go out to look for it, but was stopped by the secret guard, who said, "The prince has ordered, let the princess have a good rest, the prince has serious things to do." ”

Gao Xin'er was relieved, as long as Meng Yichen would not encounter any danger.

As soon as Zishi arrived, Meng Yichen had already come to the backyard of Bishui Yaotai. Nighthawk was already waiting.

Seeing Meng Yichen coming in, he took him directly to see the princess.

For safety, Nighthawk took Meng Yichen to Chu Shuyao's resting place. Then he retreated, with the other guards, to guard the surroundings.

Meng Yichen and Chu Shuyao looked at each other, looking at each other, and neither of them spoke. I don't know where to speak.

In the end, it was Meng Yichen who took the lead in asking with a painful expression, "Why are you here?" Became the concubine of the Tanglin Kingdom? ”

"It's a long story, I'm here to keep Xichu."

Meng Yichen rebuked angrily in disunderstanding, "Is it worth it for you to protect Xichu?" We have so many soldiers in the Western Chu Kingdom? ”

Chu Shuyao was not to be outdone, "Let's not say that the strength of my Western Chu Kingdom is not comparable to that of the Tanglin Kingdom, even if it is comparable and can be evenly matched, how many soldiers will have to die?" ”

"Then you are going to commit yourself to the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom? He is the culprit of the attack on the Western Chu Kingdom! Meng Yichen's eyes were red, and he was close to roaring.

"What about you? The emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom was indeed going to attack the Western Chu Kingdom. And why didn't you kill my father? ”

"You've been hiding for so many years, so you've been waiting for this day! Avenge your family. ”

Chu Shuyao was also pressing.

"No, I didn't, I didn't kill your father, he committed suicide." Meng Yichen was anxious to explain.

"How do you make me believe you?" Chu Shuyao didn't believe it, and she hated it.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. Your father, the Emperor, really committed suicide. He did this in order to keep the Western Chu State. ”

Meng Yichen said with a sad expression, falling into deep thought.

"When the Tanglin Kingdom was going to attack the Western Chu Kingdom, your father knew that the Western Chu Kingdom was in danger, and at that time, I also confided in the emperor about my life experience. The emperor said that he couldn't stop my family, but he hoped that I could abandon my past suspicions and protect the Western Chu Kingdom together. ”

"At the moment of national crisis, I naturally know the priority of things."

But the emperor said that the current strength of the Western Chu State cannot withstand the army of the Tanglin Kingdom. So he chose to commit suicide, and before he died, the emperor instructed me to spread the news, saying that the emperor had been assassinated. ”

"When the time comes, all the spearheads will be pointed at the Tanglin Kingdom, and the Tanglin Kingdom will not dare to act rashly for the sake of fame."

Meng Yichen told the original truth, although Chu Shuyao said that she didn't believe it, she already believed it in her heart.

She still knows Meng Yichen, and she can feel that Meng Yichen is not lying.

Chu Shuyao finally calmed down gradually, and she didn't hate Meng Yichen so much.

As long as he hadn't killed his father, then everything else in the Western Chu Kingdom, she would be understandable. If it weren't for Meng Yichen's killing of chickens and monkeys, if it weren't for his iron-fisted methods, the Western Chu Kingdom would have been disheartened and vulnerable.

Seeing that Chu Shuyao was slowly calming down, Meng Yichen asked, "Shuyao, where have you been since we separated?" What have you been through? ”

Meng Yichen asked, and Chu Shuyao also told her experience.

"When I left the Western Chu Kingdom, I first went to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and persuaded the original prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom to unite the Northern Desert Kingdom and attack the Tanglin Kingdom together. In this way, the Tanglin Kingdom would not have the strength to attack the Western Chu State. ”

Chu Shuyao said calmly and indifferently.

Meng Yichen's expression was not calm, "It turned out to be you, and it was really you." If it weren't for the Northern Desert State and the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom suddenly joining forces to deal with the Tanglin State that day, the Western Chu State would not be able to hold it. ”

"But why are you in the Tanglin Kingdom now? Now that the crisis has been lifted in the Western Chu Kingdom, why don't you return to the Western Chu Kingdom? ”

Meng Yichen said with a sad face. If Shu Yao chose to return to the Western Chu Kingdom, then now, is their situation completely different?

"At the beginning, the Western Chu Kingdom was just relieved of a temporary crisis. As long as the Tanglin Kingdom recovers, it will continue to attack Western Chu. ”

"And my father has already announced my death to the public, if I go back, won't I ignore my father's words and have no promise?"

Chu Shuyao's words are reasonable. But Meng Yichen didn't understand.

"Even so, even if you don't want to return to the Western Chu Kingdom, then why should you commit yourself to the harem of the Tanglin Kingdom?" Meng Yichen was extremely distressed.

Shu Yao, whom he regarded as a treasure, was treated so coldly in the harem of this Tanglin Kingdom.

I still have to commit myself to that bastard Mu Lingxuan!

"It's the result of my deliberations."

"Only when I come to the harem of the Tanglin Kingdom can I know Mu Lingxuan's meaning as soon as possible, and I can effectively avoid the disaster of war in the Western Chu Kingdom."

When Chu Shuyao said this, she also had a sad face.

Meng Yichen couldn't hold back any longer, and hugged Chu Shuyao into his arms, "Shuyao, why do you have to suffer yourself like this?" Let Mu Lingxuan's bastard, he..."

Meng Yichen couldn't bear to continue talking.

Chu Shuyao gently pushed Meng Yichen away, and said calmly and flatly, "Everything that needs to be said is finished, you should go back." If it is a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that the secret guards of the Tanglin Kingdom will not find any clues. ”

"Shu Yao, come back with me! Come back to the Western Chu Kingdom with me, okay? Meng Yichen almost pleaded bitterly.

Chu Shuyao showed a sad smile, "Go back?" How do I get it back? ”

"Yichen, do you think I can go back?"

Meng Yichen resolutely assured Chu Shuyao, "Shuyao, as long as you want, I can not care about anything, I only want you, I just want to be together." ”

"Don't be naΓ―ve!"

Chu Shuyao raised her voice violently.

"Now you are the regent of the Western Chu Kingdom, you have a princess, and your princess is the concubine of the Taishi of the Western Chu Kingdom."

"And I am the Jing noble of the Emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom."

"Do you think we'll go back?"

"Shuyao, I assure you, I don't care about what you've been through. I only hope that every day in the future, I can live with you. ”

"If you care, then I can tell you. Since I got married to Gao Xin'er, I haven't touched her at all. ”

Hearing Meng Yichen say these words, Chu Shuyao also had a sentence in her throat, but she didn't say it for a long time.

She wanted to say that nothing happened to her and Mu Lingxuan. But she thinks that at this point, is there any point in saying it or not?

In the end, she just sneered, "You want to say, you are guarding me like a jade?" But I'm not unusual. ”

Chu Shuyao's attitude was too cold, which made Meng Yichen's heart ache.

He choked up, "Shu Yao." ”

"Don't call me Shuyao anymore, Chu Shuyao is dead. And I am a quiet nobleman of Tanglin Kingdom, Shen Shu. ”

"I won't keep the Regent any longer. Nighthawk, send-off. ”

As soon as Chu Shuyao's words fell, Nighthawk came in.

With a stiff attitude, he said to Meng Yichen, "Regent, please go back!" ”
