Chapter 4: The Serpent's Scheme
His head was still drowsy, and he couldn't get up at all. Xiao Zhao'er took a deep breath and sat up from the bed with great difficulty. Through the gauze tent, I vaguely saw two maidservants outside dressing up a woman in fancy clothes.
Strangely, this woman's back seems to have been seen somewhere.
Xiao Zhao'er propped up her body, her brain running chaotically.
"Awake?" The woman didn't look back at her, she still sat in front of the mirror, combing her waist-length blue hair for a while.
At this time, a maidservant girl came over and lifted the bed tent for Xiao Zhao'er, tied the layers of light yarn with knotted ropes, and tied them to the four corners of the bed. The curtain was removed, and a touch of moonlight sprinkled in, shining on her body, and Xiao Zhao'er's misty eyes gradually became clear.
Leaning on the bed rail in a comfortable position, Xiao Zhao'er sighed and closed her eyes again. Seeing this, the woman raised her eyebrows in surprise, put down the jade comb in her hand, and turned to look at Xiao Zhao'er.
"Don't you want to ask me anything?"
"You have taken such great effort to take me captive to the palace, naturally you have something to do for you, and you will tell me if I don't ask." Xiao Zhao'er opened her eyes and said with a slight smile, "Right?" Lady Snake Queen. ”
Snake looked at her with an eyebrow, "You know who I am. Stretched out his sleeves to cover his mouth, and a sharp light suddenly shot out of his eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I will kidnap you here to take your life?" ”
"Madame, don't scare me." Xiao Zhao'er shrugged her shoulders and looked like 'don't treat me as a three-year-old child', "If you want to kill me in the guest room, why do you want to arrest me here?" ”
The smile on the corner of Snake Queen's mouth deepened, "Then how do you know that this is the palace?" ”
"The Dark Star Qilin is a symbol of the supreme of the Demon Realm, and not everyone dares to carve it on the bed. I'm afraid that even the Night Demon doesn't have the qualifications. ”
"Hmph, of course he doesn't deserve it." Snake Ji snorted coldly, then turned her head to look at Xiao Zhao'er and said, "You are even smarter than I thought." You guessed right, I need you to do something for me now. ”
"Okay." Xiao Zhao'er agreed.
"Don't you even ask what's going on?"
"Do I have room to refuse?" Xiao Zhao'er raised her eyebrows and asked.
Snake Ji laughed, "Not only are you smart, but you are also very knowledgeable about current affairs, and I really didn't see the wrong person." Then he restrained his smile and raised his head, a light shot out of his eyes, "As long as you are loyal enough to do things for me, after the matter is completed, I will let you sit in the position you are in now." ”
Xiao Zhao'er's eyes widened in surprise. She thought that what the snake queen was thinking about was just competing for favor or something, but she didn't expect this woman to have such great ambitions. Liyang is the great demon king of the demon world, and only ...... can appoint this position
"Madame wants to replace the Demon Venerable?" Xiao Zhao'er pursed her lips, and was surprised to see the undisguised desire for power in Snake Ji's eyes.
"Why not?" Snake Ji raised her head and said, "I was originally a princess of the Demon Realm, and my father also said that he would pass it on to me in the future when he was alive. If it weren't for the murder of my father by Hanchen and others, I would have been the lord of the demon world. It was he who usurped the throne and seized everything that should have belonged to me. What's wrong with me asking him to come back now? Snake Ji continued, with determination and ruthlessness in her tone, "Besides, in order to stay in the palace all these years, I have made compromises, sacrificed my hue, and curried favor with Hanchen. And he only treated me as a plaything, which he could give to his subordinates casually. I'll never forget the casual tone he spoke when he gave me away that night, as if he were just throwing out something inconsequential. Speaking of this, Snake Ji clenched her fists and gritted her teeth viciously, "At that time, I thought that sooner or later, I would make this cold-blooded and ruthless man pay. I will ascend to that high position, let him prostrate at my feet and repent and beg for mercy, and then I will send him to a thousand extremes of purgatory, where he will be stripped of flesh and bones for eternity. ”
Xiao Zhao'er fell silent.
was originally a princess who was high up, but suddenly she lost everything, became someone else's concubine, and suffered like that, so no one could stand it.
Thinking like this, Xiao Zhao'er felt a trace of sympathy for this woman.
"Madame's ambitions are high, but Zhao'er's spiritual power is low, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."
"You can." Snake Ji looked at her clear eyes, "You are not only beautiful, but also very smart, and you know how to guess other people's thoughts." When I was in the restaurant, I could see that Liyang was interested in you, and you pretended to curry favor with him, so that he would lose his appetite for you and stop beating your mind. Then I wanted to take you under my command. ”
I didn't expect her to think so, Xiao Zhao'er smiled bitterly, but it was a good thing that she was not suspected of her identity.
"Just say what Madame wants me to do." It's hard to ride a tiger now, although you don't necessarily have to do things for her, but you still have to pretend at this time.
"I want you to stay by Hanchen's side, be my eyes and ears, and help me succeed."
Xiao Zhao'er took a deep breath, although she had already guessed some of her thoughts, she still couldn't help but be secretly shocked at this time. It's good to stay in the palace, but it's not fun to stay with Hanchen. Although they have never met, but listening to Feihong, he should be a difficult guy, and it is a matter of life if he doesn't get it right.
"Zhao'er is very willing to help Madame share her worries," Xiao Zhao'er tried her best to make her tone appear sincere, "It's just that according to Madame, that Hanchen should be a ruthless and unruly person." Even a great beauty like Madame can't get into his eyes, let alone a roadside weed like Zhao'er. ”
This was said very well, and the snake Ji smiled slightly, "Actually, you don't have to be arrogant, your talent is already considered a superior asset in the demon world, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen you." Don't worry, Hanchen is not a bad woman, and there are not a few maidservants who have been pampered by him over the years. As long as you behave well, it won't be a problem to stay with him. And," Snake Ji paused slightly, but her smile remained unchanged, "I will take good care of your birds, I can see that your master and servant have a good relationship, it has someone to take care of here, and you can do things without worries." ”
This is to threaten her with Feihong, Xiao Zhao'er secretly gritted her teeth, even Feihong fell into her hands, and she had to do it if she didn't do it.
Seeing her look down and pondering, Snake Ji didn't force her, but just smiled and said, "You think about it again, and give me an answer after thinking about it." ”
"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Zhao'er raised her head, "Everything is up to the arrangement of adults." ”
Forget it, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, take one step at a time and see one step at a time.
