Ye Zhaopei was walking to the inner room, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Zhi sitting on the bed with a brocade cloud quilt around his waist.

Three days in a coma did make him lose a lot of weight, but in the end, he was the most beautiful man in the East, just the haggard appearance with his black hair scattered, he could also make people see thousands of graces.

And Empress Dowager Zheng sat in front of the bed, and there was a maid standing beside her, and the maid held a bowl of brown decoction in her hand.

Jiang Zhi's gaze crossed over and fell on Ye Zhaopei's body, bringing out a little warmth. He looked at her and smiled very lightly: "Zhao Pei, come here." ”

Ye Zhaopei stepped forward with his legs and stopped two feet in front of Jiang Zhi's bed. She took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, Zhao Situ did collude with the barbarians in the north, I have killed the people, and the soldiers and horses have been completely destroyed." His head is now in the armory room in the wrong garden. ”

Jiang Zhi didn't speak, and Ye Zhaopei continued expressionlessly: "But before the monarch sends me to Chaojing, I want to say one last word to the monarch, the Song Kingdom is now ......"

"Who said I was going to send you to Chaojing?" Jiang Zhi suddenly interrupted her.

"What?" Ye Zhaopei frowned, "It's not that the Son of Heaven is ......"

Jiang Zhi let out an "oh" and looked at him with a smile: "You have listened to other people's words, know that the Son of Heaven likes you, like you very much, and feel that I have indeed snubbed you over the years, so you have already made plans to go to Chaojing to be the Lady of the Son of Heaven." With your ability, you can sit in the position of queen in two or three years, and then the whole world will be yours. Is that so? ”

This is not the first time that Ye Zhaopei has been seen through by him, she doesn't feel any guilt, let alone nervousness.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Even then, Zhao Pei will always be loyal to the king. I only hope that the monarch will not raise troops to occupy Chaojing and force Zhaopei to a dead end. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng on the side frowned tightly: "How can the king be such a deviant person?" Ye Zhaopei, you don't pay respects when you see people on weekdays, and you don't pay attention to etiquette, how can you still say such things? If it is heard by someone with a heart and passed into the ears of the Son of Heaven, then in the end, you will be blamed, and you will bear the blame? ”

Ye Zhaopei glanced at Empress Dowager Zheng, and said in her heart, Isn't it all me who has been carrying the charge all these years?

The "Beauty Sword" is possessed by demons, and the royal family in the east corner is in decline, even the bright son Jiang Zhi is also tempted by the "Beauty Sword", and he has not yet married a wife.

In the Eastern Corner Kingdom and even the entire Great Shang Dynasty, are there still few such rumors? All the ugly things in the East Country were talked about in the end, and they were all blamed on her Ye Zhaopei in the end.

But Ye Zhaopei did not refute.

But Jiang Zhi smiled and said: "Queen Mother, if the son really sends Zhao Pei to Chaojing, three years later, he will raise troops and go to Chaojing." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng looked over in amazement, and sighed: "Your Majesty, how can you say such a thing?" Isn't it that he was in a coma for three days, and the whole person is stupid? ”

"It's not stupid," Jiang Zhi said with a smile, "It's that I'll regret giving Zhao Pei away." ”

Ye Zhaopei was stunned, and Jiang Zhi looked at her: "It is indeed very face-saving to be the queen of the Son of Great Shang, but what if you stay in the East Country and be my queen?" ”

Ye Zhaopei hadn't recovered from Fang Cai's surprise, and he was even more stunned because of Jiang Zhi's question.

Rao is to make thousands of weapons all competent, never merciful and always kill with one blow after killing, never frightened, but Ye Zhaopei at the moment was really taken aback, she took a step back, the soles of her feet slipped, and she almost fell and squatted.

"Your Majesty, you ......" Ye Zhaopei frowned at him, hesitating back and forth, not knowing how to speak.

Jiang Zhi didn't speak, just set off to lift the cloud quilt and get out of bed. The serious injury had not healed, and his body was shaky. Ye Zhaopei stepped forward to help, but was hugged into his arms. The last time such tenderness was in the snow eleven years ago, and there was such a long time between it.

Empress Dowager Zheng and the maid holding the medicine were stunned, and Ye Zhaopei was stunned in his arms.

And for Jiang Zhi, a real hug gave him real stability. He closed his eyes and buried his face in her shoulder socket: "I will not give you to the Son of Heaven, I will not give you to anyone." ”

Ye Zhaopei felt that his face was slightly hot, and after staying in his arms for a while, he felt uncomfortable, so he struggled slightly.

Jiang Zhi snorted: "I was hit by a sword in the chest, you touched it just now." It hurts. ”

Ye Zhaopei was stunned, and hurriedly stopped moving, but just asked him, "Do you want to call the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"No need for a doctor," Jiang Zhi continued to hug her, and the child hummed coquettishly, "It won't hurt to hold you." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng cleared her throat on the side as a reminder, Ye Zhaopei was worried about Jiang Zhi's injury and didn't dare to move indiscriminately, while Jiang Zhi opened his mouth leisurely: "Is the queen mother unwell?" Aunt Qingxing, help her go back to rest. ”

Qing Xing was the maid holding the medicinal liquid, and after listening to Jiang Zhi's order, she should say: "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng got up: "Where am I uncomfortable?" I'm thinking something is wrong with you! You've only been in a coma for three days, why do you want to find this Ye Zhaopei as soon as you wake up? It is said that she is possessed by demons, maybe it is true, look what you look like now! ”

Ye Zhaopei frowned and did not speak.

Jiang Zhi let go of Ye Zhaopei.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next moment, Jiang Zhi looked at her and said, "Queen Mother, if I hadn't told Zhao Pei to obey your orders, don't hurt you at all, you despise Zhao Pei so much, and your body would have been separated." Zhao Pei's killing kung fu can't find an opponent in the world. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng's heart was slightly cold.

And Jiang Zhi paused and continued: "Zhao Pei is not possessed by demons, but he is more special than others. I'm all right, I used to be obsessed with fame and fortune, but now I'm all cured. ”

He looked at Qingxing: "Send the Queen Mother back, if the Queen Mother is disobedient, then call Yun Qingchen and the three thousand tigers outside the door to help." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng's face was ugly, she couldn't stand Jiang Zhi's coercion, and finally followed Qingxing out of the palace. So in the entire palace, only Jiang Zhi and Ye Zhaopei were left.

Jiang Zhi had already let go of Ye Zhaopei, and after Empress Dowager Zheng left, he walked to the bed and sat down. Ye Zhaopei stood in place, looking at the back of the Empress Dowager Zheng, without saying a word, and was confused because of Jiang Zhi's behavior just now, and did not dare to look at Jiang Zhi.

She would prefer that Jiang Zhi would be as indifferent to her as in the past. The gentleness just now made her very uncomfortable.

After being silent for a moment, Jiang Zhi's low and slightly magnetic voice rose: "Zhao Pei, no one is here now, you come to my side and let me hold you for a while." ”

Ye Zhaopei didn't move.

Jiang Zhi sighed again: "It seems that I have been in a coma for three days, and there is no past, what is the first beautiful man in the East?" Look, you won't even look at me now. ”

Ye Zhaopei had no choice but to bite the bullet, turned around, and called dryly: "Your Majesty." ”

Jiang Zhi picked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and patted the edge of the bed beside him: "Come here, sit." Aren't you tired of standing? ”

Ye Zhaopei struggled for a long time, didn't walk over, just said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand." ”

I don't understand why Jiang Zhi was suddenly so good to her.

According to her speculation, Jiang Zhi summoned her over to announce in front of Empress Dowager Zheng that he would send her to the Son of Heaven in Chaojing. Empress Dowager Zheng has always disliked her, and when she heard that she would be sent away, she was naturally very happy.

Of course, Ye Zhaopei will be sad for a while, but she has long forgotten what tears are, and in the eight years that the mountain was burned, she was taught the word patience. The other women laughed and cried uncontrollably, and she kept all her emotions in the bottom of her heart.

After a while, she rode north to Beijing in a carriage alone, and Jiang Zhi married Princess Huanyi of Song Kingdom.

That's how it's supposed to be.

But Jiang Zhi didn't follow Ye Zhaopei's speculation, which made Ye Zhaopei unable to understand.

"I had a dream," Jiang Zhi's gaze fixed on her, "In the dream, I gave you to the fifty-six-year-old Son of Heaven, and I married Princess Huanyi. Three years later, the East and Song kingdoms united and raised an army to attack Chaojing, and the road was smooth, and you were already the queen at that time. I rode into the court, and you stood outside the palace gate in a phoenix robe and smiled at me, the long sword in your right hand was full of blood. You said that you had killed the Son of Heaven, and you gave me all the world, so that I could spare you. ”

Ye Zhaopei frowned.

Jiang Zhi pulled away a wry smile: "But I didn't." I put you in the prison of Chaojing. The Son of Heaven had a twenty-three-year-old son who was very talented. When the capital was broken, he led the army outside, which was a big hidden danger. But he likes you. So I gave you to him again, and I strengthened my power once and for all. ”

Ye Zhaopei lowered his eyes and looked at the upper of his shoes.

A strand of Jiang Zhi's hair fell down, he raised his hand to sort it out casually, and continued: "He is very good to you, you also have feelings for him, you originally lived well in the fiefdom, and you have a son. But I'm jealous. I have brought you a jug of poisoned wine and ordered you to drink it. On that day, you lost your husband and son, the poisonous wine is useless to you, you are the killer who came out of the burning mountain, you will not die. ”

Ye Zhaopei's eyes were a little red, and she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Zhi in front of her.

"You entered Chaojing alone, and when you found me, I was in the Son of Heaven's dormitory, and there were ten women on the bed naked, and each of them looked like you," Jiang Zhi said, "You didn't say anything, and killed me with a sword." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhi frowned and refused to speak again.

Silence spread between the two men.

I don't know how long I stood there, a gust of wind blew into the room, and the hem of Ye Zhaopei's clothes moved slightly. She remembered that her skirts and hairpins were all personally selected by Jiang Zhi for her, and they were always of the highest quality. He always said, "The prettiest woman should use the best." ”

Ye Zhaopei finally looked up at Jiang Zhi, but his expression was indifferent: "Your Excellency, you really like to joke." ”

Jiang Zhi also looked at her and smiled: "Yes, dreams can never come true." ”

After a pause, Jiang Zhi said again: "Zhao Pei, I don't want to live a lifetime like in a dream." It's not that I don't understand feelings, and it's not that I don't have feelings. I've given it to you sincerely. So, come here, sit next to me. I was very scared in my dreams, afraid of losing you, I only held you for a short time just now, and it was not enough for me to feel at ease. ”
