Chapter 251: Loyalty
Among the hundred flavors, sweet is joy, bitter is sleepy, Qi Shu you are the most bitter.
Two countries and two places, he was temporarily unable to withdraw from the palace of Zhao State at this time, and he could not leave Zhao State.
Can't leave......
Zhao Huanting has locked herself in the palace for several days, and the palace people have knocked on the door countless times, but they have not knocked on the door of the palace.
Everyone was very nervous about Her Royal Highness, but they didn't know what to do, and even if they found Her Royal Highness's father, it was useless.
No matter who spoke to Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness's expression was always faint. If you can't see joy and anger, you can't guess what she thinks.
What went wrong? Or is something going on? Why did Her Royal Highness become so different, as usual.
Almost everyone in the palace is speculating that Her Royal Highness the princess has been invincible in the past.
There has never been such a feeling of being lost and depressed, the problem is that the domestic situation in Zhao is very good now, and there is no problem that can bother Her Royal Highness the princess.
So they didn't know what to start with, so they could only wait for Her Royal Highness the princess to say it herself.
His Majesty came to the princess's palace every day to talk to the princess, but the princess always looked like she was in love, and her expression was always faint, and sometimes she always looked at a place in a daze.
It is said that the court of Zhao State may be the most deserted court among the countries, because His Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess have always been the closest from beginning to end.
Obviously, there are thousands of people in the huge palace, but in the eyes of some people, in the court, only Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty depend on each other.
Especially when the two of them joined forces to resist the dictatorship of foreign companies.
All those who have accompanied Her Royal Highness and Her Majesty through that extremely dark time know how much pressure Her Royal Highness is under.
The whole country wants to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, is it really just because Her Royal Highness the Princess is stunning and talented?
Not exactly, everyone is eyeing each other. Because Her Royal Highness the Princess represents the power of the entire Zhao Kingdom in the future, whoever can marry Her Royal Highness the Princess will be able to control the Zhao Kingdom.
This kind of thing that can seize the world as long as one woman is captured, what man doesn't want to go to the throne that Xiao wants to get at his fingertips?
And Her Royal Highness the princess officially took advantage of the psychology of many people to throw herself out as bait to get what she wanted.
This continued for seven years of calculations, until the fall of the Liu family, the largest relative of Zhao State, finally made others understand that Zhao Huanting did not want to find a suitable husband to govern the country for her in the future, but simply wanted to control the power herself.
Therefore, the pioneers who followed Her Royal Highness the princess in the past also began to appear anti-water.
The first is the dissatisfaction with Her Royal Highness the princess's involvement in the court.
This is also the reason why His Majesty will bring Her Royal Highness the princess back.
Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess is simply dissatisfied with Her Majesty because she was called?
However, looking at the interaction between Her Royal Highness the princess and Her Majesty, there was nothing abnormal, but it seemed that the princess herself had some troubles.
Even if they are struggling with their troubles here, it still doesn't help.
Her Royal Highness the Princess has his own ideas, how can the people next to him intervene.
So they can only let Her Royal Highness the princess stuff themselves in the palace like this, and then don't say anything, do nothing, and look like they are embarrassed.
These palace people will definitely not understand, but for the people who deliver foreign news to Her Royal Highness the Princess, there are already speculations in their hearts.
Her Royal Highness is the one who has lost the love of her heart.
Didn't you say that Zhao was going to marry Wei? Her Royal Highness the princess likes that Wei prince Ning Ze, doesn't he?
The person who delivered the news to Her Royal Highness the princess came back from the Wei Kingdom.
That is, Ning Ze announced to the public that he had finally married the lord of Qingming County, that is, Qi Shu, and finally became a family.
Those people knew that the princess had a very good relationship with the Qingming County Lord when she was in the Wei Kingdom, but Her Royal Highness the princess's favorite Guanghan King Ning Ze actually liked the Qingming County Lord.
So the messenger secretly speculated that the princess was sad because her best friend was with the man she liked.
Apart from this, they didn't know what the reason for the abnormality of Her Royal Highness was the princess, because it was when the news was transmitted to the princess, and according to those present at the time, the princess's face was very ugly.
Therefore, Her Royal Highness must be very sad to think of it, and they dare not confide in the news they know.
If the princess blames her, they won't be able to eat and walk around.
So they can only wait for their princess to figure it out for herself.
Is Zhao Huanting really angry and sad because Ning Ze married Qi Shu?
Yes and no.
He knew that Qi Shu hadn't woken up at this time, so this was unilaterally announced by Ning Ze, this was a stealing marriage!
This is cheating marriage! What the robbers did!
Zhao Huanting, who trapped herself in the palace, was very painful and remorseful.
He knew that if he was Ning Ze, he would do the same.
If he didn't guess wrong, when Ning Ze's life was dying, he must have confessed to Qi Shu, and given the situation at that time, Qi Shu would definitely have agreed to Ning Ze.
So Ning Ze seized this opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that Qi Shu hadn't woken up and regretted it yet, just like that, everything was settled.
What is Dust Settled? When the dust settled, Qi Shu finally married him.
Even if he was already consciously blocking it, he still didn't stop him or stop them.
If he was in the Wei State, if he could have known Qi Shu earlier, would they be different?
Whenever Zhao Huanting wants to be presumptuous herself, she always thinks about how much burden she has on her shoulders.
He is not as good as others, unlike Ning Ze, he can pursue the person he loves unbridled.
He doesn't even have a legitimate identity.
Can these Zhao Huanting not feel hopeless and depressed?
But does it work? It didn't work.
Zhao Huanting, who was lying on the big bed in her palace, looked at the gorgeous and fragrant palace full of women around her, and couldn't help but sneer.
It's been three days.
The third day of knowing about Qi Shu and Ning Ze.
He couldn't feel how long he had been asleep, how long he had been awake, how long he had been hungry, he just felt that his head was a mess.
But does it work? It's useless, Qi Shu is already married to someone else.
Every time she thought of the word "married", Zhao Huanting felt a pain in her chest.
It's more of a powerlessness over what has already happened.
If he had known that this was the result, he would not have been saved, and he should have been left to fend for himself.
But if he hadn't seen Qi Shu lying in a pool of blood, he really wouldn't have ordered the doctor to save the two of them, really wouldn't.
But is it useful now? Does it still make any sense? It doesn't make any sense.
He miscalculated Ning Ze's character, thinking that as long as Qi Shu didn't agree, he thought that as long as Qi Shu didn't agree, it would be absolutely impossible for them to get married.
However, who would know that a man who is upright, well-known all over the world, upright, and handsome, as if he has given all the good words in the world, has done such a despicable thing.
Disgraceful.
But he ignored that Ning Ze had been in the court for so many years, how could he not know the importance of seizing the opportunity.
It was he himself who had been deceived all along, and Ning Ze would only lose some of his decision-making ability when he encountered Qi Shu's matter.
Now that Qi Shu is lying by his side, how can he still be stagnant because of Qi Shu's resistance, because of his arrangement, and because of various reasons.
But it's too late to say anything.
Originally, he thought that after Qi Shu got better, as the two of them agreed, Qi Shu would come to Zhao to settle down and be with him forever.
But now that she is married to be a **, how can she come back again?
He had lost her forever.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the flowers he had planted when he was a child.
At that time, Zhao Huanting was still young, and she often went to the imperial garden to play after finishing her homework.
At that time, there were many flowers in the garden, red, green, yellow, purple, and all kinds of colors.
Because he grew up alone in his childhood, he didn't have any companions, so he often spent time with these flowers. There was one flower that he loved very much, but the gardener did not know his name, and it had been transplanted from a foreign country.
The season of flowers, only in summer, the flowers are extremely gorgeous and extremely enthusiastic.
He remembered that the flower was the size of a bowl, with about six or seven petals, red petals, and a bright yellow ball-shaped center in the center.
The smell is very light, and you can't even smell it if you don't smell it carefully.
I don't know why, he just likes this one very much, so he is also very attentive to taking care of and serving this flower.
Although the gardener often stopped him from moving. But she can't resist that she is Her Royal Highness the Princess. After being dissuaded two or three times, he stopped persuading.
It's just like the person who took care of Her Royal Highness the princess reported the situation.
One afternoon. Zhao Huanting went to the Imperial Garden to play with flowers and plants again as usual.
But when she arrived at the Imperial Garden, he found that the flower he was used to tending to had been plucked somewhere.
Someone took it off? Zhao Huanting felt very stunned, because he often made flowers and plants here, and he really didn't know who would dare to do such a thing under his nose.
When he angrily went to the gardener to ask him, the gardener did not know who had taken him.
He asked many people, but no one saw it, and no one dared to admit it.
In the end, the matter was over.
Later, when she remembered this incident, Zhao Huanting still cared very much, and then he no longer served flowers and plants.
The current mood is the same as the flowers he was serving at the beginning were taken away from them.
He admitted that he didn't have a lot of thoughts on Qi Shu at the beginning, and he intervened from Qi Shu's side in order to make it easier to attack Ning Ze.
However, who would have thought that he did not plan well in the process of arrangement, but lost his heart first.
I have been a woman for so many years. He once thought that he was a woman, and he lived completely as a woman.
Because he knows that in this life, it is basically impossible for him to return to the identity of a man.
But after meeting Qi Shu, he really felt that his consciousness as a man had awakened.
It turns out that he will still love people, and he is still attracted to women.
That sentence, suddenly looking back, the person was in the dim light.
Countless empty and lonely nights, this sentence was enough for him to chew thousands of times, and it teased his mind.
Zhao Huanting has been kept in the deep palace, and sometimes he feels that he is a thorny rose.
There are both bright and soft flowers and sharp thorns. It is his usual practice to fight without blood, and it is his means of action to plan and seduc.
He's been disguising himself as a fragile, harmless, slightly tall woman.
It's just that compared to Ning Ze, maybe he will be less loyal and true.
Or maybe his love for Qi Shu was not enough to make her give up the responsibility of Zhao Guo.
Ning Ze has no father, no mother, no worries. He is different, he is on his shoulders, and he also carries the entire Zhao Kingdom on his shoulders.
If Qi Shu was willing, he would take good care of her, just like the flowers in the imperial garden, but he couldn't let her leave.
If he was with Ning Ze, maybe she would have more freedom.
It would be nice if it was him who could choose.
If possible, if he could, he wanted to go to Wei right now to find her to go with him.
But he also said it, but this is only possible, knowing that it is impossible for him to rush through, how is it possible?
He is going to watch Qi Shu marry someone else......
Zhao Huanting closed her eyes, and two tears fell from the end of her narrow phoenix eyes.
Because she was trapped in the palace, Zhao Huanting didn't know whether it was actually day or night outside. All the outside news was brought in by the palace people.
It's just that at this time, he has no intention of thinking about anything else......
After a few more days, Zhao Huanting finally came out of the palace.
Zhao Huanting, who had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, saw that the sky was bright outside, and she felt very dazzling and narrowed her eyes.
The agreed date to leave for Qi has arrived, and it can't be delayed any longer, people from all countries have left, and Zhao can't lag behind.
This trip to Qi is of great significance, that is, to look at the attitude of each country and decide whether to take sides.
Zhao Guodi has few villains, weak national strength, and has no power to resist in the face of strong countries.
But he also has his own self-esteem and does not attach himself to others.
For Zhao Huanting, the purpose of his travel to the Quartet at the beginning was to unite other countries to reach a consensus.
It's a pity that the object of their joint defense has not yet appeared, and Zhao Huanting once predicted that there will be a conquest war within ten years.
So who will be the conquered country and the conquered country? Zhao Huanting was thoughtful.
