Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's response, Xia Ao paused, his brows furrowed slightly.

"That Chu Lixuan, haven't found it yet?"

It is also strange to say that in the battle ten days ago, Chu Lixuan, the commander of the Chu army, disappeared inexplicably, even if the army checked all the prisoners, they could not find their traces.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no news yet. However, the bad marshal had already rushed to the scene in person the day before yesterday, and Zhao Zhangdian also sent the Xunbu leader to go, and I believe that there will be results soon. ”

Shangguan Wan'er replied softly, equally confused in her heart.

In that battle, the Great Liang army held out for nearly two hours before it completely collapsed, but the Chu army completely collapsed not long after the war began, and countless soldiers surrendered, including many high-level generals.

In order to make meritorious contributions, these people all rushed to explain the information needed by Great Xia, but no one could provide effective information about Chu Lixuan's traces.

Throughout the battle, several Jinpeng battleships were constantly monitoring from high altitudes, and no one had fled.

And Chu Lixuan's figure was also missing from the corpse and captives, as if this person had disappeared out of thin air, which was extremely weird.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Xia Ao sneered and ordered: "Tell Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Gao that you must see people in life and corpses in death, unless he disappears directly from Tiannan, otherwise you must find people out of me!" ”

Originally, Xia Ao didn't take Chu Lixuan too seriously, although Chu Lixuan was the show king of Great Chu and one of the benchmarks of the Great Chu military circle, but for Xia Ao, he was just a cockroach.

He doesn't care about the emperors of several countries, let alone a prince?

However, this time, Chu Lixuan disappeared from everyone's sight in an extremely strange way, which aroused Xia Ao's interest.

He wanted to know if there was any secret behind Chu Lixuan's mysterious disappearance.

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and looked at the courtyard in front of her who entered and exited the harem, and her eyes flashed slightly.

"Your Majesty, now that David has fallen, and David's four women are still staying in the Bronze Bird Palace, you... Do you want to check it out? ”

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot."

Xia Ao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

"Okay, then I'll go see them today."

When the words fell, Xia Ao suddenly changed the topic again.

"By the way, when will the smoke arrive?"

Compared to David's four women, he was obviously more interested in Miyan.

After all, she is a woman who has been the queen mother, and she is also a beautiful queen mother who listens to politics and holds imperial power, and the temptation is not small.

"Back to Your Majesty, the frame of the escort has arrived in Dongchang Mansion, and it is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Well, then I'll go and meet David's women first."

"Swing, Bronze Bird Palace!"

"Yes!"

……

Tongque Palace, Spring and Autumn Palace.

In the main hall of the antique hall, four beautiful women were talking in a low voice, looking worried, sad, or resentful, and so on.

Sitting on the left are two young women who look to be in their twenties, almost identical in appearance, with similar dresses, buns, and hair accessories.

If it weren't for the color of the dress, which was pink and blue, it would be really difficult to distinguish.

These two are the most prestigious twin princesses of the David Dynasty, among which the elder sister Wei Zhichun is wearing a pink skirt, and the younger sister Wei Zhiqiu is wearing a blue skirt.

Opposite the two, sitting on the right are two more mature and elegant women.

Among them, sitting on the inside is a noble lady with cold eyes and a very proud look.

The nobility on her body is also the most obvious, obviously she is used to the commanding style, and she is faintly the leader among the four.

This daughter is one of the three noble ladies of the David Dynasty, Xiao Shulan.

As for the last one, she was a delicate and delicate woman.

She was wearing a white embroidered makeup dress, and her eyes were pitiful, which could inspire people's pity and protection.

Obviously, she is the last of David's four beauties, Ning Meiren Ning Tingxue.

"Listen to Sister Xue, Zhichun and Zhiqiu, the four of us were sent to Great Xia, and we endured humiliation and entered the Great Xia Palace, in order to help my David get a way to survive and help His Majesty expel foreign enemies."

Xiao Shulan gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, her eyes resentful.

"But nearly a month has passed since we came to the Great Xia Imperial Capital; It has been more than half a month since entering the Great Xia Palace. ”

"For such a long time, the Great Xia Emperor has always refused to show his face, and he can't see us for a moment, which is too hateful!"

"What's more, I, David, have now destroyed the kingdom! Your Majesty has also been in heaven! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Shulan seemed to be sad from her heart, sobbing softly, and at the same time, a series of tears fell out of her eyes.

Staying barely able to control her emotions and wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, Xiao Shulan's resentment was even more obvious.

"Great Xia broke his word, not only did not help my David defend against foreign enemies, but instead occupied our homeland like a robber, how excessive is it?"

"Even, I suspect that Your Majesty's death is also the handiwork of the Great Xia people!"

"Therefore, we must seek justice for David and Your Majesty!"

After listening to Xiao Shulan's words, Wei Zhichun and Wei Zhiqiu glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads, without answering, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Ning Tingxue on the side was discolored, looked nervously at the closed hall door, and stared at Xiao Shulan with a wry smile.

"Sister Lan, be cautious, ...... who want to lose your head"

Xiao Shulan glared at Ning Tingxue, and a look of disdain flashed in the depths of her eyes.

"You've been a beauty for a few years, why are you so timid? Hum! ”

"Don't worry, when I just came in, I had asked Zhichun to open the soundproofing ban in the main hall, and no one else could hear our conversation."

Ning Tingxue pursed her tender lips and said timidly: "But Sister Lan, we were just sent a gift to calm Emperor Xia's anger, not a bargaining chip for the transaction between the two dynasties, this matter has nothing to do with us, right?" ”

"Although David was destroyed and His Majesty was in heaven, my sister was also very sad. But Sister Lan, we are just weak women, what can we do in the face of such a big thing? ”

"My sister thinks it's not a bad thing to die here quietly, without worrying about food and clothing......

"Coward!"

Xiao Shulan's face turned red with anger, and after scolding angrily, she brushed her sleeves and ignored Ning Tingxue, and turned to look at the twin sisters opposite.

"Zhichun, Zhiqiu, what do you think?"

Wei Zhiqiu frowned, wanting to say something, but was blocked by Wei Zhichun raising his hand.

"Aunt Lan, I think what Aunt Xue said makes sense. This world is the law of the jungle, and howling without strength will only bring about its own destruction. ”

"We are the daughters of our father, and our father was killed, how can we, as daughters, not be sad?"

"But my father was killed by a traitor, and it has nothing to do with Great Xia."

"Since my father has been killed, and my David has also been substantially destroyed, then Great Xia can't be beaked if he doesn't abide by the agreement. The territory recaptured by Great Xia from the Chu army and the Liang army should also belong to Great Xia, and there is nothing to be angry about. ”

"In the end, it's still that I, David, don't have the strength to protect my territory and subjects."

Hearing Wei Zhichun's soft but calm words, Xiao Shulan was even more angry, and couldn't help but pat the case.

"Bastard! You just want to be the concubine of Great Xia?! ”

Seeing Xiao Shulan scolding Wei Zhichun, Wei Zhiqiu's eyes widened, and he immediately went back angrily.

"What do you want? What does it have to do with you? ”

"You! You guys! ”

Xiao Shulan stood up angrily and stretched out her fingers to point at her twin sisters, her fingers trembling a little.

Wei Zhichun sighed lightly, got up and curtsied at Xiao Shulan.

"Aunt Lan, Zhiqiu's temperament is a little anxious, if you are offended, I will apologize to you on behalf of Zhiqiu."

"However, if you have any radical ideas, our sisters really don't have the heart to get involved."

"The heavens only have mercy on the victors, throughout the ages, when a country is defeated, its concubines and princesses will only become the playthings of the winning kings and nobles, and those who can be selected into the palace to serve the emperor of the winning country are considered lucky."

"Therefore, don't say that the destruction of my David was not caused by Da Xia, even if Da Xia directly destroyed my David, our sisters will not have any stupid ideas, because that is no different from death, and it is meaningless."

"If we want to die, we will be killed as early as the first night we enter the Great Xia Palace."

"Aunt Lan, I also sincerely advise you, accept the reality and start over."

"I can't imagine what happened to the other sisters and the princess after the fall of David. Compared to them, we are actually very lucky. ”

After listening to Wei Zhichun's words, Xiao Shulan's face was full of anger, but she fell silent.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the temple.

"Four nobles, Your Majesty will be here soon, please be ready to welcome you."

As soon as this voice came out, Xiao Shulan's body trembled suddenly, Wei Zhichun's pretty face changed slightly, and Ning Tingxue and Wei Zhiqiu, who were still sitting, also stood up in shock, some of the six gods were ownerless.

"What's going on? Why did he come here at this time? Could it be that our conversation was overheard? ”

Ning Tingxue's face turned pale with fright, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

Wei Zhichun pursed his lips and forced himself to calm down: "Aunt Xue, don't panic, we haven't talked about this matter for less than half a stick of incense." If someone can really overhear it, it will take a long time from the announcement to the arrival of Emperor Xia, and it can't be so fast. ”

"It should just be a coincidence. Moreover, we didn't actually say anything, so we didn't have to scare ourselves. ”

"Coincidence, yes, yes, coincidence, coincidence......"

Ning Tingxue nodded again and again, while whispering to herself, constantly comforting herself.

Xiao Shulan glanced at Ning Tingxue and shook her head disdainfully.

"Rest assured, one person does things and one person does everything. Since you are so desperate, then I will not pull you up! What is there, I will take it all in! ”

Ning Tingxue's expression froze, and she looked at Xiao Shulan who wanted to speak and stopped, looking quite entangled.

Wei Zhiqiu frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Shulan, and then stared at Ning Tingxue, his eyes suspicious.

How did she feel that Ning Tingxue was deliberate?
