Chapter 152: Humble to the Dust

This year, the palace was uneventful, because the funeral in the palace was not long after, and it was not easy to put up lights.

However, the people have had a good year, and now everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, with plenty of food and clothing, and the people all sigh that this peaceful and prosperous era is earned by the king of Jin on horseback.

Since the queen lost the crown prince, her health is not as good as before, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that she may not survive this spring. In order to remember her feelings, the emperor did not agree to Guava's marriage.

In addition to being reluctant to let his daughter marry far away, he also has other selfish motives.

He was betting on whether the country of Guava would send troops to attack, and if so, he could openly send the king of Jin to kill the enemy.

If a sword has no eyes and the king of Jin dies on the battlefield, it will be both advantageous and disadvantageous for him.

However, as soon as King Jin died, his biggest threat would be gone. As for other countries, even if he wants to pay compensation for the cession of land, as long as he can keep the throne, he is willing.

Guava and Da Chu have been friendly for so many years, but the Emperor of Da Chu actually refused their request to marry the eldest princess, it seems that Da Chu is insincere, and they have been repaired again.

Therefore, Guava took this opportunity to invade the frontier of Great Chu together with other small countries, and their speed was so fast and rapid that they plundered the three cities of Great Chu in just five days. And the soldiers defending there couldn't resist it at all, making the people of Guava as if they were in a no-man's land.

The people were displaced, complained, and rushed to Kyoto.

The emperor summoned the king of Jin into the palace as soon as possible, and he wanted to send the king of Jin to lead the troops to meet the battle.

At the beginning of the winter snow, some warm sunlight shone on the earth, and the king of Jin took Ruan Jiaqing into the palace together, and on the way to meet the emperor, he met a person.

Her slightly bright eyes stared at the woman in white beside King Jin, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth. Seeing Ruan Jiaqing's plain little face, but it was incredibly beautiful, there was a hint of jealousy in the depths of her eyes.

Ruan Jiaqing also looks at her, is Su Jingrou? A rose-red palace dress is gorgeous and flamboyant, which is in line with her identity as a concubine, graceful and luxurious, she is only standing here from afar, which is the most dazzling light.

"I learned that the emperor was going to send the king of Jin to fight the war, and the palace was specially waiting here, and I wanted to give it to the prince." Su Jingrou walked over, smiled generously, and looked at King Jin with a look of admiration in her eyes.

She didn't hide her heart at all, so naked.

I saw her take out a peace charm from her arms and hand it to King Jin: "This is the palace at the beginning of the year to go to Anhe Temple to beg, I hope that the prince will be invincible on the battlefield and return safely." ”

King Jin glanced at her, but he never took it.

It was Ruan Jiaqing who stepped forward and snatched the peace charm from Su Jingrou's hand, hooked her lips and smiled mischievously, and the two little tiger teeth were a little ostentatious.

"Thank you, Concubine Jing, it's just that my brother Jin has never liked to wear these things." Ruan Jiaqing took the peace charm and played with it in his hand.

Su Jingrou's face changed suddenly, and she actually called him Brother Jin......

Obviously he said that in this world, she is the only one who can call him like this.

But beside him, there are now other women standing. The two look like a good match, like a fairy couple. Now she was just an outsider, and she was no longer qualified to stand side by side with him, or even to speak with him.

"Princess, you have lost your honor." King Jin said coldly.

Ruan Jiaqing heard Xiao Yu's cold voice, and instantly became angry, "Could it be that you want to accept it?" ”

King Jin didn't reply to her words, but just took the peace charm and said politely to Su Jing: "This king has thanked Concubine Jing for her kindness, if he returns triumphantly, he will definitely give Concubine a glass of wine to thank you for today's gift." ”

Su Jingrou smiled sweetly at King Jin, as if she was happy to bloom in her heart, it turned out that Brother Jin still had her in his heart.

Judging by his attitude towards the princess, it is not at all like what is rumored by the outside world.

So, he doesn't love the princess at all, does he?

"Why wait for his day, you can do it today, the old lover meets, how can you have fun without drinking some wine and listening to a little song, do you want this concubine to arrange it for the prince?" Ruan Jiaqing said angrily.

"Don't make a fuss." King Jin glanced at her coldly, and his eyes did not have the doting and gentle look of the past at all.

Ruan Jiaqing felt as if she had seen a stranger, was this still her husband?

"Don't be angry, the princess and the king of Jin are old acquaintances, and they have a former relationship, so they can't help but chat a few more words, and the palace will leave and no longer bother the two." Although Su Jingrou said this, she cast a provocative glance at Ruan Jiaqing.

She really didn't expect that the woman next to Brother Jin would have such a temperament.

With what she knew about King Jin, she felt that he would definitely not like this type. The woman he likes must be gentle as water, beautiful and generous, who can grow his face outside and preside over family affairs for him inside.

But the princess in front of her, no matter how you look at it, is not the same.

"Wait...... It's not the concubine who should go, it's you. King Jin glanced at Ruan Jiaqing, and his dark and bottomless eyes were full of cold looks.

Ruan Jiaqing's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, Xiao Yu actually let her go?

Okay, then she will make room for these two people to talk to each other well, and she won't bother here.

"Do you really want me to go?" Ruan Jiaqing had tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly didn't let the tears flow.

"Yes, this king and the concubine have something to say, so you naturally have to avoid it. You are the king's man, you have to do whatever the king tells you to do, don't get out of here! ”

King Jin's eyes were full of disgust, Ruan Jiaqing felt that Xiao Yu was really too strange, as if she had never known him.

He told her to get out?

Okay, then I'll get out!

Ruan Jiaqing turned around and left, the wind blowing across her cheeks, cold and painful. The tears finally flowed down without a fight, she felt very uncomfortable, remembering the sweet words that Xiao Yu had said to her, thinking of his love and care for her, are they all fake?

and the child in her belly, this is a testimony of their love, is all this her self-righteousness, Xiao Yu still has that Su Jingrou in her heart, and she doesn't love her at all?

Ruan Jiaqing was so sad that she had already lost the ability to think, so she only cared about being sad, almost all the little palace maids and little eunuchs who passed by knew her, and when she saw her crying like this, it soon came from the palace.

And the scene of Su Jingrou chatting with King Jin also fell under the eyes of the Ninety-Five Supreme in the distance.

There was a deep hatred in his eyes, and after so many years, she still couldn't forget King Jin......

He is the emperor, which point is worse than the king of Jin. He gave her all the favor and honor that should be given to her, but she was still not satisfied, heh, woman......

Su Jingrou pulled King Jin and said a lot of words, talking about the happiness of childhood, remembering the happy place and laughing, she hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

It's just that King Jin's expression has always been faint, and since Ruan Jiaqing left, his heart seems to be empty.

Her aggrieved and hurt look made him very sad.

"Brother Jin...... Brother Jin, are you still listening to me? Su Jingrou shouted several times, but King Jin didn't respond.

His heart has gone with Ruan Jiaqing.

"This king is going to see the emperor, and I have the opportunity to catch up with the concubine again." King Jin came back to his senses before he replied.

Su Jingrou had a trace of loss on her face, but she still said understandingly: "Then Brother Jin, you go, it's still important to have official business, Rou'er is waiting for you to return triumphantly, you must return safely, because...... I'm waiting for you. ”

There was a different kind of affection in her watery eyes, but King Jin didn't seem to see it, just nodded and passed by her.

When he arrived at the emperor's manna hall, the emperor was already waiting for him there.

"King Jin, the country of Guava is coming to attack with troops, I order you to lead a million elite soldiers to meet the battle, be sure to win this battle, don't lose the face of our Great Chu." The emperor looked slightly angry, and he wished that King Jin would die on the battlefield like this.

is not only an obstacle to him sitting on the throne, but also his rival for many years, and now he is the murderer who forced his son to death, how can the emperor not hate him.

"This king's command." King Jin glanced at the condescending emperor, not only did he not have any fear in his eyes, but he met his gaze fearlessly.

"If this king defeats Guawa, this king wants to ask the emperor for a reward." King Jin raised his head, and his deep and clear eyes went straight to the bottom of the emperor's eyes.

"What reward?"

"Give Concubine Jing to this king, and this king will marry her." King Jin frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a lot of deep thoughts hidden between his eyebrows, but they were locked along with the center of his eyebrows.

His voice is sonorous and powerful, and it is unquestionable.

With this word, the emperor was so angry that he lost his mind again, and only heard a "bang", and he dropped the teacup in front of him, shattering the ceramic ballast on the ground.

What's more, Ruan Jiaqing, who just heard this sentence outside the door, had a weak leg and almost fell.

Heart, why does it hurt so much?

Is Xiao Yu really without her in his heart? He actually begged the emperor to marry Su Jingrou, even if this woman is already someone else's woman, this person is still the son of heaven, he has to risk the world's disapproval to marry her?

He agreed to lead his troops to the expedition and fought desperately to win a battle, all for Su Jingrou.

yes, that's great......

Ruan Jiaqing held her chest, she felt that her heart hurt so much that she didn't feel it, why did she come here, why did she let her hear this.

Xiao Yu asked her to get out, and she walked away sadly, but in the end, thinking about it, it was probably because her tone was too unkind to Su Jingrou and angered him, after all, Su Jingrou was his old lover, and she had to believe him, so she should be generous.

That's why she came to him and wanted to apologize to him...... didn't expect her to hear this.

For the first time, she experienced the feeling of loving someone humbled to the dust, and it was clear that she was not wrong, but she wanted to admit her mistake first to obtain his forgiveness.
