301. Dilemma
Huo Chen stopped, turned his head slightly, and said, "Thank you, but you're worrying about it." [No pop-ups. 】”
As soon as the words fell, Huo Chen walked out of the teahouse, ignoring Xi Yao behind him.
Xi Yao was overwhelmed by Huo Chen's inexplicable temperament, and felt that Huo Chen didn't want to be as easy to talk as the warriors of the Wolf Country, she put away the dagger in frustration, but in her heart she never changed what she had decided.
After Huo Chen and Mu Wanqing returned to the palace that day, Huo Chen told Chu Qing about Tong Sudong's escape from the wolf country after being injured.
At first, Chu Qing didn't take it to heart, but after thinking about it, Deng Feiyang was dead, and Tong Sudong was also very likely to suffer an accident. He discussed with Yufei, and finally decided on a few locations, thinking that this was the place where Tong Sudong would go, and Chu Qing then set off to leave the capital.
Huo Chen originally thought that the marriage would come to an end, but he didn't expect that Xi Yao would be so entangled.
In the imperial study that day, Huo Chen almost received a slap from Emperor Qi Wen, but fortunately, it was Gonggong Xiang who calmed down Emperor Qi Wen on the side.
"Do you want to be like your royal brother?! Just for his own selfish desires, he left the entire Great Qi country behind! Emperor Qi Wen's chest rose and fell, "How difficult it is for you to marry a foreign princess now, in this way, you can't help but avoid the war, and you can also let the two countries continue to have harmonious exchanges, which is beneficial and harmless!" ”
Huo Chen stood there quietly, unmoved despite how excited Emperor Qi Wen was.
Emperor Qi Wen glanced at Huo Chen, and it seemed that Huo Chen had been so fascinated by Mu Wanqing that he had lost his soul, otherwise how could he not focus on the overall situation.
"That Princess Xiyao only takes a fancy to you, and I can't help it, so you marry her, and you can give an explanation to the wolf country." Emperor Qi Wen slowly calmed down, "Great Qi has lost harvests one after another in recent years, and the food has long been insufficient, coupled with the suppression of chaos, the national strength of Great Qi has long been gone. Emperor, if it weren't for helplessness, I wouldn't let you do something you don't want to do. ”
"Erchen understands." Huo Chen said lightly, he knows these things best, even if he has hundreds of thousands of troops, but the matter of military salaries is always a hard injury, although Daqi is still prosperous, but once the war starts, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
But he couldn't.
"But the retainer can't."
Emperor Qi Wen pursed his lips, his face was pale, and after a long time, he said: "I think you are only swayed by Mu Wanqing, I have already decided to give her a name, and she can also spare the Mu family, such a condition, she should be grateful to Dade." ”
Huo Chen's face was as usual, but he never said anything.
Seeing that the world is still silver-white, my mood is extremely heavy.
He didn't want her to be a concubine again, although it was just a matter of status, but he didn't want Mu Wanqing to be wronged again.
He walked out of the palace slowly, and found that a figure was quietly following him, Huo Chen remained silent and continued to walk forward. He deliberately did not ride in a sedan chair and went through the streets and alleys, and after turning a corner, he jumped onto the roof, and he wanted to see who was secretly following him.
Sure enough, a figure also walked into the alley, and found that there was no trace of Huo Chen, so he stomped his feet angrily and scolded: "Where have you been?!" ”
Huo Chen narrowed his eyes, this princess of the wolf country is really ghostly. Xi Yao had followed him in the palace just now, and it seemed that Xi Yao had already lived in the palace. Huo Chen was no longer patient, so he fell behind Xi Yao and said coldly: "If you dare to follow this king again, this king will make you regret it." ”
Xi Yao was stunned, in the face of Huo Chen's sudden appearance, she was a little happy, turned around with a smile, and said playfully: "How do you want to make me look good?" Tell me about it. ”
Huo Chen frowned, didn't pay any attention to Xi Yao, and directly bypassed Xi Yao, wanting to go outside.
Xi Yao was a little anxious, this man was really difficult to serve, she simply said: "King Zhuang, I am determined to marry you, and what I said will definitely be done." ”
"That's your business, it's up to the king to decide whether to marry you or not."
"Why are you resisting me so much? That's right, the wolf kingdom originally wanted to cooperate with Tong Sudong, but I tried my best to persuade my brother, so now I have decided to get married. In Daqi, you cover the sky with one hand, you may not take the wolf country in your eyes, but let me tell you, the wolf country is not as weak as you imagined. Xi Yao said, she thought that if she said such a thing, Huo Chen would give in.
But unfortunately, Huo Chen did not look back.
Xi Yao couldn't imagine that Huo Chen was so arrogant, but only such a man could make her Xi Yao tempted.
"Since it is useless to tell you about state affairs, how about we talk about the women in King Zhuang's mansion?"
As soon as these words came out, Huo Chen stopped, he slowly turned around, and there was already a little more frightened and angry look on his face.
There seemed to be a cold air coming out of his body, which made Xi Yao also a little afraid, she settled her mind, and then said: "I heard that there is only one woman in your house, and I heard that she should have died, but you kept her." Emperor Daqi has already said that when it is necessary, the woman's life does not have to be spared. ”
Huo Chen's eyes were like a raging flame, could it be that in order to force him to comply, Emperor Qi Wen was going to take away his beloved things?
"You don't want to touch a single hair of her." Huo Chen slowly clenched into a fist, gradually exerting force, and the green tendons on his arms burst out.
"It's not up to me to call the shots, although I don't know what happened, but if you continue to be tough, she will definitely be in danger." Xi Yao smiled, with a hint of contempt, "Although you are in power, the Son of Heaven is always the Son of Heaven, and you are just a courtier, do you still want to usurp the throne?" ”
He stared at Xi Yao for a while, and finally said: "If you change your mind, then your father will not persecute you like this, to put it bluntly, this is also your dominance of this matter." Say, what do you want? ”
Xi Yao felt that Huo Chen was very affectionate, although Huo Chen was very fond of that woman at this time, but as long as she married Huo Chen, she was not afraid of losing to that woman. Xi Yao approached him step by step, and also smelled the faint fragrance on his body, her smart eyes blinked, and her lips opened slightly: "What I want...... It's just you. ”
Huo Chen frowned, he had already taken a step back, his face was gloomy, obviously this conversation made him very unhappy.
He turned around, his mood complicated.
How can we keep Mu Wanqing safe and sound without breaking her heart?
"King Zhuang, I advise you, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too tough, and it may hurt the people you care about."
Xi Yao's voice sounded behind him.
Huo Chen pursed his lips tightly and never said a word.
