Zhuang Meiyan raised her head and quietly looked at the man who was high above, such a rugged and steep height was easy to make people feel dizzy. Shu Yu Shirt

"I can promise the lady, without him, I Xiaobai will only have a woman in this life, never give up, no matter what happens, the lady will always be my Xiaobai's mother, and I will always be the lady's Xiaobai. ”

"I can't promise you prosperity and peace in the future, I can only promise you that no matter what happens, I will stand with you and believe that you love you for the rest of your life. It is easy to be poor and cheap, and it is difficult to be rich and rich, and now this difficult thing is for the lady to reluctantly walk hand in hand with me. ”

Before coming to Wuyang, the words he said were still in my ears.

It is easy to be poor and cheap, but it is difficult to be rich and rich.

Zhuang Meiyan held on to the wall with one hand, climbed the stairs, and didn't know if she stepped on the corner of her wide robe, she suddenly stumbled and planted straight towards the stone steps, her forehead almost touching the cold stone. She held the wall with one hand and the stone steps with the other, and oh, thanks to the arms that had just reached out from behind her, she had been holding her down so that she was not too embarrassed.

She slowly raised her head and saw that the man was retracting the foot that had stepped down the next step, and his open arms were also slowly retracting, naturally hanging down at his sides, this time, standing in a lower position, she finally saw the other party's face clearly, there was no trace of emotion on the handsome face, he was a high king, yes, he was originally a high king, and this was exactly the fact that she had been constantly ignoring.

"The queen should be careful, if she falls like this, the child in her womb may not be saved. Such a delicate voice came from behind her, and it was also the owner of the arms that held her in time, Yeluyan.

Zhuang Meiyan calmly pushed Ye Luyan's hand away, her movements were very light, but her attitude was extremely resolute.

"Thanks, I can do it myself. ”

Zhuang Meiyan carefully packed up her robe that was dragging on the ground, continued to hold on to the wall, step by step, and walked up the stairs steadily. The distance between her and the king was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, Xiao Xuanchen turned sideways to give way to a place that could accommodate a person, Zhuang Meiyan did not squint, and she returned to the outside of the cave.

This small tent was already crowded with people, the Queen Mother, Nati, the concubines, and many slaves, as well as guards in black armor, Zhuang Meiyan's clear gaze swept over everyone in the tent, and no one dared to meet her calm and restrained gaze, or look sideways, or bow their heads. Zhuang Meiyan noticed a small figure hidden next to the Queen Mother, the child didn't even want to show his face, a pair of small hands tightly grabbed the corner of the Queen Mother's robe, when he saw this situation, Zhuang Meiyan sighed softly and smiled.

She looked sideways at the man beside her slightly, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, before they announce my crimes, can you let me stop being this queen." ”

Xiao Xuanchen didn't look at her, his eyes were level with the front, and he said in his usual dignified tone: "You are the queen I brought into Wenkoer, and you are also the queen who accepted the blessing of Lord Wolf God, and there is no precedent for Wu Yangguo to depose the queen." ”

"The lord of the country is right, there is indeed no precedent for Wu Yangguo to depose the queen, everyone should be responsible, and they must be punished for the crimes they have committed. Wuyang's laws were as fair to nobles as slaves, and even the lords of the country could not easily change the laws. The Queen Mother said in a dignified tone.

"The law is set by Lord Wolf God, and no one has the right to convict another person except Lord Sikong. Zhuang Meiyan was very calm, and she was as flustered as she was in the corridor, and even Ye Luyan, who had been closely observing her every move behind her, couldn't help but admire - this woman who was not amazing could become a queen, after all, there was something different about her.

"You're a smart woman, but being smart doesn't clear your name. The Queen Mother said majestically: "Lord, what should I do now?"

"The sun is about to set, and at this time, Lord Wolf God will not accept a judgment. Xiao Xuanchen's tone was calm.

"The lord of the country is right, she is the queen of our Wuyang, and she should have the most solemn ceremony to be judged, so let's do it tomorrow. The Queen Mother said.

Xiao Xuanchen was silent, in this case, refusing to express his position was considered acquiescence. Zhuang Meiyan looked at the black-armored warriors who were quickly surrounding but did not dare to make a move, she suddenly realized that from this moment on, her identity changed from queen to prisoner, but she didn't know how that man was going to place himself, whether he was going to be locked up in this dark dungeon behind him and waiting for tomorrow's judgment?

Her gaze swept over the faces of the warriors around her one by one, and then fell into the swarthy hole behind her, and the only one she didn't look at was Xiao Xuanchen, who was close at hand.

The warriors slowly approached under the signal of the Queen Mother, they were intimidated by Xiao Xuanchen's majesty, and did not dare to go over his body to grab Zhuang Meiyan, hesitated for a while, and the ghost who had been faithfully following Xiao Xuanchen snorted, and immediately clenched the hilt of the knife, and suddenly became murderous. The warrior who walked in the front immediately gestured and saluted Xiao Xuanchen very respectfully, but the latter was indifferent to this.

"It doesn't need to be that much trouble. Zhuang Meiyan didn't seem to notice the tension in the atmosphere, and smiled very easily: "I have my own legs and can walk, please trouble which brother to come out and lead the way." ”

She turned calmly, and before the foot she had time to land on the first step of the stairs, her body was dangling in the air, and she was surprised to find that both of her feet were off the ground. Before Zhuang Meiyan could react, Xiao Xuanchen had already picked her up and strode out of the tent. Everyone touched their chests and saluted, but no one dared to stop them. Looking at his distant back, Yeluyan and the Queen Mother made eye contact, silently exchanging messages that only each other could understand.

"Let go of me!"

"Let me go!"

Zhuang Meiyan reacted from the sudden situation, she shouted angrily, her hands and feet moved and struggled desperately, trying to break free from that embrace, but how could her strength be greater than that man, which also made her even more angry, and finally she simply clenched her fists and pounded the other party's chest hard, pushing and shoving, like a little wild cat falling into a net, waving her little paws and dancing wildly.

"Let me go...... You bastard!"

Zhuang Meiyan, who had nowhere to vent, suddenly hugged the other party's neck and bit it down hard, Xiao Xuanchen snorted and stopped. The ghost who had been following closely subconsciously pulled out the knife, and he quickly realized that the "enemy" in front of him who had hurt the lord of the country was not something his knife could deal with, so he had to stare at the arrogant woman with hatred.

Zhuang Meiyan took the opportunity to push away Xiao Xuanchen's embrace, and took a few steps back before barely standing firmly, her chest rose and fell, glaring at Xiao Xuanchen angrily. Xiao Xuanchen showed a painful expression, covering the bitten neck with one hand, blood flowed out between his fingers, dyed the white robe, he looked up at Zhuang Meiyan, the latter's state of alertness made him only smile bitterly.

"Don't make a fuss!" his voice was a little harsh, "You're playing too much--"

"Slap her, are you distressed?" Zhuang Meiyan interrupted him stiffly.

"Why do you think that?"

"Then why did you think that just now?"

In an instant, the two fell silent, only the wind was whistling around, they had come to the back of the royal court, the sunset in the west was about to set, and the wind in late autumn was cold, blowing through Zhuang Meiyan's thin body, she trembled, and her teeth sank deep into her somewhat pale lips.

"You just -- that's really what you thought. Zhuang Meiyan almost gritted her teeth and spit out these words, and her eyes were already full of anger at this time. Silence often expresses a lot of information, and this default message from the other party is the last thing she wants to see.

"So, is there anything between you and him--" Xiao Xuanchen said with difficulty.

Zhuang Meiyan burst out laughing, tears streaming out of her eyes, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Before I married you, I was the side princess of the regent of Ruixiang, and the emperor gave it to the world, and no matter what we did between us, it was a husband and wife courtesy, and no one had the right to blame each other. If you mind, then you shouldn't bring me back to Wuyang, let alone let me be your queen. ”

"I was originally an ordinary woman, I never had the luxury of being a concubine, enjoying any glory and wealth, all I asked for was the word 'peace', and now it seems that this is the biggest luxury in the world. I didn't want to hurt anyone, but everyone wanted to hurt me, forcing me to be cornered and forcing me to fight back. You said, 'No matter what happens, I will stand with you, believing that you love you for the rest of your life.'" In the end, you still lied to me!"

"Do you still want to ask if this child is your flesh and blood?" Zhuang Meiyan smiled miserably, and suddenly pulled off his hairpin, his long hair drooped, dancing in the wind, like crazy.

Xiao Xuanchen's heart sank, and he was about to stop, but seeing that her emotions were on the verge of collapse, he didn't dare to stimulate her anymore after all.

The tip of the hairpin was tightly attached to her abdomen, Zhuang Meiyan held the hairpin, her knuckles were white, and she sneered: "I heard that a drop of blood can be used to test relatives, and the lord of the country only needs to order someone to cut open my abdomen and take a drop of blood from the fetus, and he can know the truth." ”

Xiao Xuanchen was shocked, he raised his toes slightly, kicked up a small stone and knocked off the hairpin in Zhuang Meiyan's hand, and with a shake of his body, he held the crumbling body in his arms in time. Zhuang Meiyan's eyes darkened, and she subconsciously grabbed the placket of the other party's clothes with both hands, and the familiar and warm breath made her can't help but have the urge to snuggle up to the other party tightly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the starry eyes full of anxious and cherishing expressions...... Delusion!

In a semi-comatose state, she found herself leaning on that solid chest, and her face felt a little cold, and she raised her hand to wipe it, wet. When did she actually cry?

She struggled slightly, now is not the time to be cowardly, even if she is cowardly, she will not let him see it, she pushed Xiao Xuanchen away as if she was angry. Xiao Xuanchen didn't dare to use force, so he let go of his embrace. Zhuang Meiyan looked around, at this time they had come to the royal court, the tall hall was lit with torches, the door of the hall was open, the wind poured in, the torches swayed, the higher they looked, the more obvious the darkness became.

Zhuang Meiyan sneered, she still thought he was going to send her, it turned out that he was just going to send her here. She was dizzy for a moment, forgetting that after the nobles committed crimes, they were not locked up in the dungeon like slaves, but temporarily placed in the underground palace of the royal court, and when it was time for interrogation, they could be taken out of the underground palace, where there was no other exit, that is, a natural prison room.

"Where is my prison? I can go myself...... You don't have to help me, I'll ...... myself OK. ”

Zhuang Meiyan gritted her teeth and dragged her weak body forward, her body swaying, and Xiao Xuanchen also tended to protect behind her. Her forehead was oozing with sweat, bending slightly, pressing her lower abdomen with one hand, her face was getting paler and paler, if it weren't for her natural stubborn willpower to support her, I'm afraid she would have fainted to the ground.

“...... Don't touch me!" she felt a pair of strong, powerful hands around her beside her, waving weakly in resistance.

"It's me!" the voice was gentle, somewhat familiar.

Zhuang Meiyan turned her face sideways and saw a handsome and unfamiliar face, she was stunned for a moment, the voice she remembered, it was the voice of the high priest, and this man was wearing a white robe, with a black cloth belt around his waist. In her impression, the high priest was supposed to be wearing a black robe.

The gentle man seemed to guess her doubts, and smiled: "In addition to being a high priest, I am also a nobleman, and the black robe is a dress that can only be worn during sacrifices. ”

"I'll take you to your bedroom tonight, and I've prepared a very soft bed. His voice seemed to have a hypnotic power, and Zhuang Meiyan felt that his tense spirit suddenly relaxed and leaned on him.

The High Priest held a torch in one hand and helped her as he slowly walked forward.

"Lord of the country, please stop! All beings are equal in front of Lord Wolf God, please understand this, and don't annoy Lord Wolf God. I will take care of her, at least under the protection of the wolf god, no one will dare to hurt her. ”

Xiao Xuanchen watched in a daze as their backs slowly entered the empty hall, the torches lit at the door were finally blown out by the strong wind, the fire in the depths of the hall became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the darkness, and he didn't know that he himself was tightly wrapped and integrated into this dark that was as thick as ink.
