Next, Xiaotuo spread the news as agreed. She had never been so uneasy before, and soon fell into a state of worrying about gains and losses.
Unfortunately, no matter what she expected, the results of the experiment were obvious.
Zu An's previous guess was not wrong. Apparently the man's jealousy had caused Lian to lose some of his rational judgment. The information in the palace was getting less and less, and the intervals were getting longer and longer. He had already had doubts.
Then news came from the palace that Xiao Tuo was made a wife, and he fell silent.
He knew that this was all he could give Xiao Tuo.
At this time, Xiaotuo sent information again, how could he dare to believe it? He casually threw the piece of information into the trash can.
Xiao Tuo waited eagerly for three days, but there was no response from Lian. Her initially full of anticipation gradually sank to the bottom, and at the same time she suddenly felt a sense of relief.
If the other party really did what she said in the information, she wouldn't know how to face it.
Of course, these were all her subconscious reactions, and she was not aware of them at all now.
But Zu An knew it clearly. In fact, he had completely defeated the opponent's defense before. The reason why he deliberately did this was just to give her a step down and give her a reason to convince herself.
Zu An came behind her and gently held her soft body in his arms: "The agreed time has passed, have you given up now?"
Xiao Tuo sighed quietly, finally made up his mind, turned around and bowed Yingying: "Your Majesty, from now on, Xiao Tuo will devote himself to you wholeheartedly, and he will completely belong to your Majesty."
Zu An laughed: "A lot of times it's useless to just say nice things. Actions are more important."
Xiaotuo glanced at him resentfully, a hint of shyness and charm flashed in his eyes, and then slowly knelt down.
Zu An's breathing suddenly became rapid. Although the two of them were inseparable during this period and had tried all kinds of fun things as a couple, she had never done this on her own initiative.
He knew she was a spy sent by the villain before, but he didn't have much pity and taught her a few times.
Although Xiaotuo didn't object at that time, he couldn't hide the humiliation in his eyes. At the same time, the backstage kept receiving anger points contributed by her.
This made Zu An very nervous sometimes, fearing that she would kill him.
Although this is just a trial for the soul, if it is really bitten off, there is no guarantee that it will not affect the real body.
So it makes him feel painful and happy every time.
But this time it was very different. She didn't have any resentment at all, but was extremely gentle and considerate.
Only then did Zu An believe that she had truly returned home.
However, he suddenly noticed a drop of clear tears flowing out of the other person's eyes, and couldn't help but frown slightly. While wiping away the tears for her, he asked: "Are you still thinking about the past?"
"Well..." Xiao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief and then shook his head, "This
Tears are just a complete farewell to the past. "
Zu An felt pity in his heart and hugged her sideways, then turned and entered the inner room. The atmosphere in the whole room quickly became warm.
…
After Xiao Tuo completely returned to his heart, the rest of the matter fell into place. During this period, Zuan had used various false information and arrangements to eliminate all potential peripheral allies.
Now Lian can be said to be alone, with only some direct descendants of the family, and of course many spies arranged by Zuan.
Originally, it was quite troublesome to deal with Lian's core strength. He had a special status and was the son of the previous king, so he still had considerable strength under his command.
However, Xiaotuo is very familiar with these things. With her providing intelligence, she can eliminate these people in a targeted manner, just like a cook and a cow.
After all this was done, news came from the front line. Pei Mianman returned with a great victory. The Qiang side was completely crippled. It can be expected that for a long time, it will no longer be able to threaten the Shang Kingdom.
When Pei Mianman returned with his army, Zu An led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city for dozens of miles to greet him.
Everyone thinks this is what it should be, and it is a political means for the king to win over the queen and inspire people.
Only Zu An knows best. He is more out of love. It has been several months since she left for the war. If there were not a lot of things in Yindu that needed him to solve, he would have gone directly to the front line to accompany her. .
Soon the figure of an army appeared on the horizon. The leader was riding a white horse, wearing a beautiful set of golden armor, shining brightly in the morning sun. She really looked like a goddess.
"The queen is so beautiful."
"She should be the most beautiful woman in our Dashang business."
"Not only is she the most beautiful woman, but she is also the most powerful God of War in my business!"
"But the breasts are really big!"
"You don't want your life?"
…
Many people also came out of the city to greet him. Hearing their whispers, Zu An was not annoyed. Instead, he showed a smile on his face. He had the same reaction when he first saw Pei Mianman.
Reunited after a long absence, plus thinking that this perfect woman belongs to him, he will naturally not mind if he is happy.
Before that, Pei Mianman was more charming. When people first saw her, they would think she was a woman among women. But now there was a kind of heroism in him, and he knew that it was tempered by blood and fire on the battlefield.
The two temperaments are perfectly combined to form a unique charm.
When Pei Mianman saw him, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he rode over directly.
Zu An ordered: "You are all guarding here, no one is allowed to approach."
Many conversations between him and Pei Mianman cannot be heard by outsiders. Now that their prestige is extremely high, no one will object.
"Manman, you are finally back." Zu An held her hand and was filled with emotion.
Pei Mianman snorted: "If you don't come back, the harem may be on fire. These days, many people have described in front of me how you hang out with that man named Xiao Tuo in the palace all day long."
"It's unfair, that was the high priest's trick to drive a wedge between us." Zu An cried bitterly.
Pei Mianman smiled half-heartedly: "Are those people telling lies? Didn't you and that Xiao Tuo make love in the palace?"
Zu An was a little embarrassed: "That was just a trick. I had to sacrifice my beauty to successfully instigate Xiao Tuo, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to deal with the high priest so easily."
As he spoke, he explained the situation in the capital.
Pei Mianman's face softened slightly: "You guys can always talk about your lust in an upright way. In my opinion, this is self-serving for public benefit."
Zu An knew that she had some resentment in her heart, and it was inappropriate to say anything at this time. He just hugged her tightly and said, "Manman, you have worked really hard these days."
You don't need to ask to know that she spent a lot of effort on the front line to defeat the ferocious Qiang Fang.
Pei Mianman said softly: "Thank you for your hard work. On the front line, at least the enemy is visible, but you have to deal with all kinds of invisible enemies in the capital. And you have to provide continuous logistic support to the army, and Your Huang Yue and Bai Yan have received it. If it weren’t for your firm support, I might not have been able to unite the army so smoothly and completely..."
The two hugged each other and talked to each other. Time flew by unknowingly, and the ministers couldn't help but remind them several times.
Pei Mianman shyly pushed Zu An, and the two of them returned to the city.
Next, Zu An relied on the remaining power of his victory over the Qiang Fang to cleanse the rebellious parties in the capital that colluded with the Qiang Fang during this period.
Leng was naturally among them, not to mention finding letters as evidence. Even if he hadn't, with the couple's current authority, there would be nothing else anyone else could say.
After Lian was dealt with, he made Pei Mianman the high priest according to Fu Shuo's original plan, completely bringing the divine power into the hands of the king.
In order to reward Pei Mianman for her military exploits, the imperial court decided to cast an owl statue for her and give her a jade phoenix. The jade cong that was originally in Lian's hand also belonged to the new high priest.
Both of them felt that the vitality was flowing on these three items, and they were very exquisite magic circles. They were absolutely extraordinary. If placed in the real world outside, they would be top-notch magic weapons.
Unfortunately, the two of them knew that this was a soul test and they couldn't take these things out, so they had no worries in their hearts.
What they think is that the external enemies here have been defeated and the internal thieves have been dealt with, so they should be able to pass the trial.
But what surprised them was that the sun continued to rise in the east and set in the west. Days passed and the two of them never received notification of the end of the trial.
