NO.7 NEGOTIATIONS
Xia Xiyan did not break free.
The kiss was gentle, almost pitying, a cautious kiss.
Then the man fell to the ground.
Xia Xiyan used a handkerchief to gently wipe off the bright red lipstick.
"Fifteen seconds...... Tut. Xia Xiyan put away the handkerchief, I have to make a report, the technical team has been a little lazy recently. It took 15 seconds for the hypnotic lipstick to put the other person down, so it should be possible to improve it.
Xia Xiyan looked down at the unconscious man who fell to the ground, his fingers moved slightly, and he turned around and left with a frown.
In the empty corridor, only the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the marble floor tiles remained, as if Cinderella heard the bell at twelve o'clock, and the girl ran away.
The man who fell to the ground sat up slowly, looking at the back of the man who was running farther and farther away, his slender fingers gently brushing his slightly cold lips.
Xia Xiyan did find the queen in the garden.
She sat in the garden and looked at the fountain in a daze. Holding the infant child in his arms, one finger was tightly grasped by the child.
"Your Highness." Xia Xiyan called softly and walked gently to the woman's side.
"Tell Your Majesty, I won't go back first, I want to be alone and quiet." The woman didn't look back, and said lightly.
Xia Xiyan respectfully sat down on the small stone platform at the queen's feet, and said softly: "Are you still happy here?" ”
The woman turned her head suddenly, and her face was full of tears.
Xia Xiyan's face looked so gentle in the moonlight, and her amber eyes seemed to see through people's hearts.
"You...... You also came through it? The woman seemed wary and quickly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand.
Xia Xiyan shook her head gently, put her hands on her knees, and said lightly as if she were gossiping: "I'm just here to see if you're doing well." ”
The woman was stunned and looked at Xia Xiyan with a little surprise: "We...... Do you know? ”
Xia Xiyan smiled faintly: "You don't know me, do I ...... I guess I know you. Zhou Liying, at the age of 67, has filial piety, and is counting on you, who have worked hard all your life, to enjoy a rich life. But something went wrong with the payment and you were sent here...... The first half of his life can be regarded as glory and wealth, and then it came to an abrupt end. ”
It's not like being cheated, after all, you can do as much as you want. Even if it is a black workshop, it is very principled.
The woman looked at Xia Xiyan in a daze, her face a little pale. She didn't understand why the seemingly gentle woman in front of her knew her details, and this incomprehension gradually evolved into uneasiness.
"But I don't know. According to the price your son pays, you can still be a rich wife and be safe. Why did you choose such a place? Xia Xiyan raised her head slightly and looked at the woman's young face.
This young queen is just in her early 20s, and she is the most beautiful and gorgeous years of her life. But she has already aged at heart, and there is no way for her to let go of her hands and feet and enjoy the life here. She even wanted to fight, but found that her struggle was nothing more than a fist on cotton. No one understands the grief in her heart, and naturally no one can understand the end of her efforts to repair the decay of this country.
"There's nothing wrong with coming here...... "The woman seems to have gotten used to being submissive.
Xia Xiyan frowned without a trace, which was a little inconsistent with the information she got.
According to the information, Zhou Liying became the queen after the crossing, implemented the new policy of diligence and thrift to protect the country, and promoted economic development and cultural development, and prospered for a while. Not only that, but her descendants have also undergone her education, and more than ten generations have passed away. Such a thing would never have existed in the absurd and extravagant history of foreign countries.
That's why they need to go back to the time when the queen hasn't even started to hang up and find out and take people away.
But now it seems that this postpartum depressed patient who is sitting in the small garden with his daughter in his arms and grieving for the moon does not look like he wants to be Wu Zetian's posture at all.
"Hmm...... Would you like to go back with me? Xia Xiyan said softly.
The woman looked at Xia Xiyan with a shocked expression: "Go back?" Where to? ”
Xia Xiyan still had a gentle smile on her face, not at all like she was going to do something hurtful: "Look, maybe you don't know what your current body is about to face. The queen gave birth to three children in a row, the youngest of whom died at birth. The husband is weak and incompetent, and the country is in turmoil. Later, the peasant overthrew the dynasty because he didn't have enough to eat, and after the queen was exiled for a while, the whole family was guillotined. ”
Every time Xia Xiyan said a word, the woman's face turned white, and the hand holding the child became tighter.
"I know, you may be thinking that if you admonish the Emperor, maybe this hurdle will pass. However, a man's weakness is a fundamental thing, and the man in your life is a soft-eared man. It's also machismo. I'd rather listen to the courtiers below, and I definitely won't listen to you. Xia Xiyan's voice was soft, in the moonlight, but it was getting colder and colder.
The woman's face was completely white as if it were transparent.
Xia Xiyan's words were like a needle pricking her heart, she knew best what her husband was like in this life. Even in the first few years of her marriage, she felt that she had married a piece of wood. Not only that, but there is actually no respect for her. When her daughter was born, although her husband looked happy, he complained that she did not give birth to a prince.
The woman frowned, and Xia Xiyan knew that she was shaking.
"Do you want to take your daughter?" Xia Xiyan's words were like a boulder smashed into a woman's heart, and the woman raised her head suddenly, looking at Xia Xiyan with wide eyes.
"But can you take it with you?" The woman almost took a deep breath.
Xia Xiyan pursed her lips: "Your situation is actually similar to divorce. Although we can fight for the custody of the child, it is ...... The father of the child has the right and duty to raise the child. ”
The woman was stunned, this was the first time she had heard this novel statement.
"I ...... I'm not going. The woman's eyes suddenly became firm: "Not for this country, for my children." My daughter, and the children who are about to be born. ”
Xia Xiyan blinked and sighed softly: "Okay then, when you go to the guillotine, I will come to pick you up." ”
The woman was stunned, but Xia Xiyan had already stood up and walked away without looking back. The woman hugged the child tightly and stared at Xia Xiyan's back tremblingly.
However, Xia Xiyan did not look back.
