Wu Zechen became famous at a young age. He was stationed on the western border of the Zhou Dynasty all year round and had numerous military exploits on the battlefield. He not only protected the peace of the Zhou Dynasty, but also held a large number of troops and was powerful.
In addition, he not only had a noble status, but was also unparalleled in beauty. The most important thing was that the inner palace was vacant. At that time, not only did he not have a concubine, he didn't even have a maid!
How could such a man not make Liu Yingxue's heart flutter?
If she can marry Wu Zechen, she will be the only princess in the Zhou Dynasty, and the military power in her hands will be even more powerful for her mother's right minister's palace.
And God seemed to be on her side. In Rongcheng, she successfully met Wu Zechen, and successfully made him like her. He treated her differently from other women and became that special person.
She thought that when he returned to the capital, the position of Princess An would be hers, but what she didn't expect was that the emperor actually approved the marriage before he arrived in the capital.
What annoyed her the most was that it was the prince who instigated this matter!
Here Liu Yingxue was thinking about the affairs of Prince An's Mansion, but she didn't know that Wu Zechen was irritated by her forced marriage after getting off the ship.
He was not unaware of what Liu Yingxue mentioned, but not only did he not want to respond, he even felt a little disgusted.
He didn't know what he was thinking. When he met Liu Yingxue in Rongcheng, he actually had a good impression of her. He was not as repulsive as he was to other women, but it was just not repulsive.
In fact, he knew very well that he didn't have much feelings for her, at least it was not a relationship between a man and a woman, but since he was not repelled, he was willing to get along with her more.
He originally thought that after returning to Beijing and spending some time together, his thoughts might change, but after such a long time, he still only stayed at the step of not rejecting her, without changing at all.
When it came to further development, he instinctively felt resistance, but Liu Yingxue seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that he did not object to getting along with her and just wanted to marry her? Today, his words were even full of hints. Do you want him to come to propose marriage?
He couldn't help but carefully recall the scenes when the two of them got along, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out what he had done to cause her to have such a misunderstanding?
Not only had he never touched her, he had never even said a word of love to her. Could it be that he had said something that caused her to misunderstand her during normal chats? But he seems to rarely even speak, right? She usually did the talking and he listened quietly.
Seeing how anxious she was, maybe I delayed her?
Wu Zechen wondered whether he should keep some distance from her. After all, it seemed that he really had no such thoughts at the moment, lest she continue to misunderstand him.
Thinking of Liu Yingxue's eyes full of affection when she played the piano today, for some reason he immediately thought of Xia Luotong in Tingyuxuan.
Although Liu Yingxue's piano skills were superior, if he really wanted to compare, he still liked to listen to Xia Luotong playing the piano. The sound seemed to make people forget all their worries.
And the way she played the piano seemed to be rooted in his mind, lingering and appearing from time to time...
Unknowingly, Wu Zechen walked to the bamboo forest near Tingyuxuan. It was not until the gray-white courtyard wall in the corner of the bamboo forest not far away came into view that he suddenly came back to his senses!
How did you end up here? !
Damn it!
Wu Zechen was a little annoyed, but for some reason he seemed to be looking forward to it. He listened carefully, but did not hear any movement in the courtyard. It was quietly hidden in the bamboo forest, as if no one was living there.
When he noticed his actions, his face turned cold, as if he was venting his anger, he shook his sleeves heavily, turned around and left quickly...
At the same time, in the quiet Tingyu Pavilion, Xia Luotong was taking the time to rest.
Now she has to give the cold-faced prince acupuncture every night, which is really a big burden for her delicate body, and it is particularly draining on her energy, which has led to the continuous poisoning in the past two days.
Originally, after this period of conditioning and detoxification, she only had poison attacks every few days, and her symptoms were not as scary as before.
In order to prevent her body from collapsing, she had to take advantage of the free time to rest and recharge her energy for the evening treatment.
She slept until it was dark and Zhuxuan came to ask her to eat.
"Manager Zhang brought a lot of things over just now, including several boxes of things. Since you told me yesterday, I accepted them all." Zhuxuan said while helping Xia Luotong wash up.
"Manager Zhang is here? Why didn't you wake me up?" Xia Luotong rubbed his eyes. He had been sleeping so deeply that he didn't hear any sound.
Her body was weak and her energy was less than others. In addition, she had been poisoned once during the day, and her spirit was even more exhausted.
"General Manager Zhang will tell the slave not to disturb you when he learns that you are resting. Just ask the slave to accept it first and then return it to you." If it were something sent by others, she would not dare to make such a decision on her own, but Manager Zhang was different from others. He was Wu Zechen's confidant, not to mention that Xia Luotong had informed her of this matter yesterday.
Thinking of the lists he made yesterday, Xia Luotong immediately became energetic and curiously pulled Zhuxuan to look through the boxes of items.
Based on the idea that the opportunity was rare and she deserved it anyway, she made a long list, including food and clothing, and didn't miss anything.
Although she has made a small fortune through Yusheng Pavilion, after all, no one would mind having too much money, right? What's more, if you buy something by yourself, you have to find a way to transport it to the palace, which is very troublesome.
With Manager Zhang doing it for her, she only had to use her mouth. Anyway, she had worked so hard to detoxify the cold-faced prince, so it was not like she had taken his things for free. How could such a small thing be as valuable as Prince An's life?
But what surprised her was that Manager Zhang actually sent all the items she listed. Not only was there no shortage of items, but they were also all high-quality products, and none of them were crude or perfunctory.
"What's in this little box?"
After counting all the large wooden boxes, Xia Luotong found that everything on the list was complete. Xia Luotong looked at the small box that was placed aside with some confusion and looked a little more refined.
"That was sent by Manager Zhang. He said that Mr. Xu specially gave it to him and asked him to send it to you to nourish your body." Zhuxuan didn't know who Mr. Xu was, but she just followed Manager Zhang's instructions. Tell me what to say.
"The medicinal materials sent by Mr. Xu?" Xia Luotong was a little surprised when he heard this, and curiously opened the box to check.
Although this box is smaller than the others, it contains quite a lot of things. All of them are medicinal materials. Not to mention that everything is well preserved and very old. Just such a small box is worth a lot of money.
