Chapter 170: Falling into the Palm of Your Hand
"Shu'er, you misunderstood, this matter is not what you imagined, I will tell you carefully when you get better, but you should not contact Ning Ze during this time." Looking at Qi Shu's appearance of resisting him, Zhao Huanting was not lost.
At least after returning to Zhao State, he had been worried about her, if it weren't for the fact that Ning Ze was going to propose to Qi Shu, he wouldn't have rushed over in such a hurry.
After seeing Qi Shu, he had to admit that he didn't want Qi Shu to marry Ning Ze, nor did he want her to marry someone else, maybe in his selfish heart, he felt that Qi Shu should be with him and go to Zhao Kingdom together.
He will give her the greatest protection within his means, as long as she wishes.
As soon as such an idea germinated, it took root and grew rapidly, if his identity and gender allowed, if he had known her earlier, the relationship between them must have been more than this.
Seeing Zhao Huanting staring at her seriously, Qi Shu felt bitter in her heart, why did she seem to have become a resentful person with her own small belly and chicken intestines?
If it is for the sake of the affairs between the two countries, the marriage is also extremely normal, so why can't it get by? She's already been through it once, hasn't she? What's the point of the second time?
Maybe there's really something between the two of them, right? It's all about keeping her away from each other, and it's really a tacit understanding.
Qi Shu struggled to pull out a smile, and then struggled to sit up.
"How long do you plan to stay in Shaoliang this time? It's been a long time since I've been to your Twilight Tavern, so I'll go tomorrow. Intuitively, she didn't want to talk about Ning Ze's affairs, so she simply diverted the topic, after all, she was very upset now, and she didn't expect Zhao Huanting to suddenly appear.
"It's not decided yet, it is estimated that it will take a while, the tavern is still in normal care, and Shu'er can go at any time." Zhao Huanting saw that Qi Shu took the initiative to change the topic and did not entangle, so she followed her words accordingly.
may have been because of the suddenness of the incident, so the two were relatively speechless for a while, and they were silent for a while.
"What time is it?"
"It's time."
"Hmm."
There was another awkward silence.
Seeing that Qi Shu's eyes were red, Zhao Huanting also knew that she should not be forced at this time, so she simply offered to say goodbye and wait for Qi Shu to come over tomorrow at the Twilight Tavern.
Qi Shu nodded, she should go back to the house after a while.
"Shu'er, I have some things that I don't know if I should let you know, you can consider for yourself whether you want to know or not." After leaving this sentence, Zhao Huanting opened the door and left without looking back.
Standing outside the door was Mozhu, whose head was bowed and motionless.
Seeing someone coming out, Mo Zhu subconsciously raised his head, met Zhao Huanting's sight, and immediately avoided it.
After Zhao Huanting left, Mo Zhu pursed his lips when he saw Qi Shu half-lying and walked in.
"Miss, are you better?" Mo Zhu said cautiously that she was not there when Qi Shu had an accident, which was her dereliction of duty.
"Hmm" Qi Shu responded, and then uncovered the quilt on his body and prepared to get out of bed, although his body was still a little vague and weak, and his head was still dizzy, but it was really not too early to go back to the house at this time.
"Miss, if you can't do it, don't force it, it's okay for us to go back tomorrow morning. I've reported it to the government. ”
Qi Shu shook his head and signaled no. "When my father went back in the evening and found that I was not there, he thought that I was pretending to be sick to avoid him, and it was better to face it than to escape, and sooner or later I would have to face it."
She knew in her heart that her father would definitely blow up after this incident came out, and the smoke of the seven orifices of anger was unknown, and she must be indispensable if she was counted.
"Miss......" Mo Zhu wanted to comfort Qi Shu, but he didn't know where to start, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't spit out half a word.
"I'm not to blame you for this, let's go." Qi Shu struggled to bend down to put on his shoes, and the outstretched plain white wrist was grabbed by Mo Zhu, and then Mo Zhu squatted down to put on Qi Shu's shoes.
Qi Shu said: "There is labor." ”
Mo Zhu lowered his head and stared at Qi Shu's feet, and said in a low voice: "Miss is the master, I am a slave, why should you." She has always felt very angry at Qi Shu's master and servant, and when she learned that Qi Shu had sworn to live as long as he was a couple, she also secretly spit on his jealousy and selfishness.
Now there is nothing wrong with Qi Shu doing this, at least it will not make the people around her feel despised and can feel her thoughts.
She had also carefully observed Qi Shu, from top to bottom.
Although he said that he was not sad or happy, there was no sadness and no joy, and the smoke and rain were in his life, but he still paid for the worries of the common people, and cried for the private feelings of his children, isn't he still a person with seven emotions and six desires? It's no different from ordinary people.
However, in the end, it is by Qi Shu's side that she will have a feeling of being treated equally.
"No one is born a slave, you are like this in the Wei State, you go to the Zhao State to change your identity, are you still a slave?" Of course Qi Shu didn't dare to say, without the Wei State, are you still a slave? This is a big reversal, and the effect is the same in other words.
Hearing this, Mo Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly, if Qi Shu knew that her identity in Zhao Country was still a slave and maid, but she was just a subordinate of Zhao Huanting, the princess of Zhao Kingdom, I don't know how she would feel.
"Miss, you're different from others." After Mo Zhu put on Qi Shu's shoes, he helped her up and said in conclusion.
Qi Shu smiled bitterly, what's the difference? It's not all the same, it's not all women, it's just that it looks like she's been abandoned twice.
"Let's go back."
"Yes, miss."
Mo Zhu carefully supported Qi Shu, estimating that it was time for Green Orange and Ning San to come back, there were many vendors near the tea street, so it would not be a problem to buy something to eat.
When he went downstairs, Imperial Physician Qiu saw that Qi Shu was leaving, and he was a little relieved, so he went to the pharmacy to dispense a few packets of medicine, and asked Qi Shu to decoction it over low heat when he went back, so that his body would recover faster, and his body was a little weak, which may be the root of the disease that fell some time ago, Imperial Physician Qiu guessed.
Qi Shu thanked Imperial Doctor Qiu carefully, Mo Zhu took the medicine and helped Qi Shu to walk out.
Ning San and Green Tangerine just happened to enter the door, and when they saw Mo Zhu helping Qi Shu to walk out, they also came over to help, it seemed that they were going back, Green Tangerine had a lot of food in his hand, and the portion was a bit much.
Ning San was very reluctant to accompany her to go shopping, worried that Qi Shu would have an accident and urge him vigorously, which would annoy the green orange, and he bought some of the angry everything, and when Ning San couldn't stand it and was about to leave her, the green orange panicked and checked out and then left with the things.
"Miss, are you alright? It's all because the slave is not good and doesn't take good care of you. There was a palpable sadness on Midori's face.
Qi Shu shook his head slightly, signaling that he didn't want to talk about it anymore and wanted to go out. It's not good to disturb the patients here, and there are quite a lot of patients, and she didn't cover her face in a hurry today, if she is recognized, the impact is not good, so let's leave quickly. Later, it turned out that Qi Shu would think this way.
Several people surrounded Qi Shu and went out to take the carriage.
Tonight was not peaceful, with a breeze and clouds covering the moon, and even the stars were pitiful.
Ning Ze stood not far from Qi Shu's carriage, watching her disappear from his sight little by little, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Lord Wang, are you really not going to catch up?" Ning Si asked in a low voice beside him.
This sentence reminded Ning Ze of the attack on Qi Shu's participation in the piano appreciation party, he didn't follow that time, and Qi Shu was saved by Zhao Huanting.
Zhao Huanting.
Thinking of this name, Ning Ze felt a headache and even boredom. I don't know if the other party is good at bad things for him, he is very sure that Zhao Huanting has no intention of being male or female towards him, but he doesn't know why he asked Zhao Heng to reach out to Wei Guo and take the initiative to ask Zhao Huanting to marry him.
Say that when you pass by Shaoliang, you fell for him, is it for him? It's for Qi Shu! If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, Ning Ze really doubted whether Zhao Huanting liked Qi Shu.
Today, after he hurriedly entered the palace to see His Majesty, he understood the whole story.
It turned out that His Majesty had received a secret letter from Zhao Guolai half a month ago, which was to the effect that the two countries should be married, and that Zhao Huanting fell in love with Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, at first sight, and admired his demeanor or something.
But at that time, Ning Ze was busy preparing for the upcoming arrival of Nalan Hehe in the Dian Kingdom, so His Majesty suppressed this matter, but I don't know how it suddenly spread at noon today, and His Majesty was also very strange.
When Ning Ze asked him who he had discussed this matter with, His Majesty recalled it, as if he had discussed it with Lord Luo Xuanluo. Lord Luo Xuanluo has always acted steadily and low-key in the court, so it is only natural that His Majesty will look for him.
But he has nothing to do with Lord Luo, so it can't be spread by Lord Luo, the only possible one in the palace is Ji Xue, I don't know why, Ning Ze's intuition is what Ji Xue did.
"Your Majesty, do you remember when you discussed this matter with Lord Luo?"
"It was the morning of the flower banquet held in the Prince's Mansion, oh, by the way, Xue'er said that she came to greet me, and then went to the Prince's Mansion, why didn't she come later? This girl, really. Yan Mo said very naturally, as if he thought of the things at that time and said them together, without the slightest hint of his words.
If it was left in normal times, it would definitely be a problem for Ning Ze to taste it carefully, but at that time, he was already carried away by this matter.
Naturally, hearing this, recalling that Ji Xue did not attend the flower banquet that day, if he did, he would definitely be haunted, according to Ji Xue's past habits, it was even more certain that Ji Xue released the news.
But now there is no point in dwelling on who released the news, and the top priority is how to deal with this sudden matter.
Then Ning Ze had a careful discussion with Yan Mo about the marriage between the two countries, and talked about it until the lock of the palace door was about to fall at night, when Ning Ze came out of the palace.
It's just that Ning Ze, who left the palace, was also in a very heavy mood, and there was a little more boredom than the anxiety before entering the palace.
His Majesty's meaning Ning Ze almost understood, he said that Ning Ze was the minister of Wei and his right-hand man, and he definitely couldn't go to Zhao with her Zhao Huanting, so Ning Ze would definitely not be able to get into trouble.
But if Zhao Huanting is willing to marry into Wei, it will be different, this Zhao Huanting is the only heir of Zhao State.
If this heir arrives in the Wei State and is controlled by Yanmo, how long can the old Zhao Heng stay on the throne? In whose hands will Zhao Guo fall into?
