After Wei Zhao woke up, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar room. His hands were tied behind his back, and a large ball of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, making him unable to spit it out.
Everyone around them didn’t know where they had gone. This was not the country of Yan at all!
He remembered that he was drinking with King Yan yesterday. He had just given Xiao Qi to Yan Jin to please him. Just when he thought he could talk about something, he suddenly fainted while drinking. When he opened his eyes and woke up, he found that I arrived in this room!
What exactly is going on!
Wei Zhao suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart. He struggled hard, but the rope was tied very tightly and he couldn't get it open no matter what.
He stared at the surrounding furnishings carefully. This place was the former Wei Kingdom, the place he was most familiar with!
Wei Zhao suddenly became desperate and suddenly understood what was happening. King Yan sent him to Chu Xiao as a favor.
Sure enough, he was deceived by King Yan!
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and it was indeed Chu Xiao standing outside the door, but Tao Yao was also followed behind him.
As soon as Wei Zhao saw Tao Yao, his eyes immediately lit up. No matter what, she was his sister after all. Now wasn't she Chu Xiao's beloved concubine? As long as he said a few words, he would be able to keep his life!
Someone came and took the cloth away from his hand, but the rope was still tied.
"Is the prince and royal brother still okay?"
Taoyao walked in holding up her skirt, walked up to Wei Zhao and smiled.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will realize how ironic this is. As a prince, he escaped by himself. The eyes of the world will only fall on her as a princess. Why doesn't she just die?
They all regard the prince as the last hope of Wei State, and even hope that he will escape. Why is all this so unfair?
The prince can only inherit the throne directly, while the princess can only marry in a hurry. The rights obtained by the two are fundamentally different.
Why would all the burden fall on the princess if something happened? Is the prince a loser?
That's right, Wei Zhao is indeed a mediocre waste!
"Sister Shu'er, we are brothers and sisters! No matter what, I am your brother after all! Please beg your Majesty for me! Please spare me! I swear that I will never have any thoughts again, as long as I am spared my life. good!"
Wei Zhao looked at Taoyao and kept pleading. He didn't want to die. He really didn't want to die. It was precisely because he didn't want to die that he ran away without hesitation that day.
Looking at the little sister in front of me wearing gold and silver, I know how much she is loved. She should be able to say a few words to Chu Xiao, right?
Chu Xiao has always been disdainful. For such an incompetent person, he can't be called his opponent at all. He is just a grasshopper in his hand. Let's see how far he can jump.
Look, as soon as his letter reaches Yan State, he will immediately tie up the people and send them over. This shows that Wei Zhao is really of no use or value.
"Why do you think I want to speak for you? You didn't take care of me when you were in the palace, and the brother-sister relationship between us basically didn't exist.
What's more, you escaped without being criticized by the people in the world. I stayed with His Majesty but suffered so much scolding. I am still angry, so do you think I will help you? "
Taoyao smiled sweetly and happily.
In fact, this is what Wei Shu really felt was extremely unfair, but at that time, her ability was too weak, and no one cared about her dissatisfaction, and only put all the blame on her.
Later, when the person was finally forced to death, the curses stopped, but they all felt that Wei Shu should die, and felt that she should have died long ago.
However, Wei Zhao was considered to be the last hope of the Wei State. Even though he was so mediocre and incompetent, he was easily driven out and killed by Chu Xiao in the end.
"Sister, no matter what, you are my sister after all. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. No matter what, please spare my life. For the sake of our blood being thicker than water!"
Wei Zhao was still pleading, how could he care about his face now that he was at this point, and even more selectively forgot how he had insulted his sister in the past.
Now I feel lucky. Fortunately, she has become His Highness's favorite concubine. She should be able to say a few words, otherwise I will really die!
"From the day you escaped, everything you had was in the palm of Gu's hands. Gu guessed that you wanted to go to England, so he communicated with King Yan in advance and had already made arrangements to capture you. Prepare to be sent to orphans, so you don’t have to fight to the death.”
Chu Xiao took a step forward and said coldly. He just glanced at Wei Zhao and then looked away. Such a person is really not worthy of being his opponent.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know that all of this is due to me overestimating my own abilities. I shouldn't fight with Your Majesty. Now all of this is regarded as my defeat. I give up!"
Wei Zhao struggled desperately and shook his head. He really didn't want to die. When he was alive, he lived a life of rich clothing and fine food. He was used to enjoying it, so how could he be willing to die?
Hui looked at Taoyao's cold face and knew that she would not speak for him, and her heart sank infinitely.
"Guess what Brother Five Emperors was thinking when he was waiting for you to show up. You never showed up that day, so Brother Five Emperors died. Do you think he would hate you before he died?"
Yan Jin stared straight into Wei Zhao's eyes and smiled strangely.
Wei Zhao was really frightened and quickly looked away, not daring to look again. In fact, he felt guilty about this matter and did not dare to mention it every time.
At that time, he really didn't want to go out, so he also thought about letting the fifth prince die, so he slowly buried it in his heart. Now that it was brought up again, he really felt guilty.
"My father was ignorant and ignorant when he was alive. As the prince, why didn't you try to persuade him? Or are you just fishing in troubled waters and enjoying it? You have no ability to be the prince at all. You are not worthy!"
Tao Yao said disdainfully that the Kingdom of Wei was indeed out of luck. Both the King of Wei and the Crown Prince were becoming more incompetent and incompetent, so it was their fate.
Tao Yao touched Chu Xiao's arm and looked up into his eyes. The other party immediately understood what she was thinking.
Taoyao shook her head and went out without wanting to say anything else.
"Sister, don't leave, hurry up and save me! Sister! We are brothers and sisters whose blood is thicker than water! You can't be so cruel!"
Wei Zhao yelled at Tao Yao's back at the top of his lungs, why was she so cruel? Did she really not care about any blood relationship? Did she really just leave like this!
"None of the five princes back then have ever humbled themselves and begged for mercy like you. You are the prince, and you can humble yourself to this extent just to survive. You are really not as good as him!"
Chu Xiao just left a cold word, turned around and left, and then someone came in with a glass of poisonous wine.
Wei Zhao was stunned when he looked at the poisonous wine.
In fact, he didn't want to show up at all that day, and he didn't even struggle. He even thought that it would be okay if the fifth emperor brother died, but after he actually died, he felt extremely guilty.
So now, is it finally your turn?
After Tao Yao went out, he returned to his room, and Chu Xiao followed behind him. In fact, he really didn't have to follow him, so he really wasn't sad.
"Now that all the matters in Wei have been resolved, and the British side has also expressed friendship, there will finally be no more wars in the future, and everyone can live peacefully."
Tao Yao looked at Chu Xiao and smiled.
In fact, this is also the meaning of Chu Xiao's existence. It is enough to make all life settle down slowly.
"He's probably dead, right?"
Taoyao asked again.
"Um."
Chu Xiao nodded softly. He looked at Taoyao carefully, as if to confirm that the other party really didn't care at all.
"It's all finally coming to an end. I'm afraid those who want to cause trouble won't have a chance!"
Taoyao smiled and said, the person she was talking about was of course King An. King An, like Wei Zhao, was both incompetent and ambitious.
The two people secretly colluding together would indeed cause a storm, but it would eventually calm down quickly.
But this time, she asked King Yan to send Wei Zhao over early, so that everything would be over before King An had any thoughts.
"Gu knows who you are talking about and who you are worried about. Don't worry. Gu will let Mu Ming return to her original hometown and protect her peace for the rest of her life. Since she is your friend and the person you care about, so Gu I will also protect her."
Chu Xiao stared at Taoyao closely, and there was a hint of urgency in his words, as if he was proving something, that he really liked her.
But it felt like it wasn't enough, none of this could be proven, and I didn't know what to do now or what else to do. It seemed that Taoyao was not satisfied.
"Thank you."
Tao Yao smiled, then walked forward and put her arms around Chu Xiao's neck, leaving a kiss on his lips.
"Actually, I was really satisfied the first time I saw you, so I'm willing to stay with you."
Tao Yao whispered in Chu Xiao's ear. She really felt that this man was quite pleasing to her, so she was willing to stay with him for a while.
But it can only be a short period of time, not a lifetime.
"You know, you are like a treasure that I lost and found. I also liked you once, but there was no fate between the two of us. When I thought I was going to lose you, I suddenly got you again. This kind of loss and recovery It feels really good.”
Chu Xiao hugged Tao Yao, closed his eyes and felt the moment quietly. Smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms on his body, he suddenly felt at ease in his heart, and the uneasy feeling slowly disappeared.
Now that everything has been settled, the two of them will be together for a long time.
Hanyu Palace.
"Princess Princess."
Xin Fu ran in in a panic and told everything that had just happened. It turned out that the British had sent His Highness the former Crown Prince away, and he had probably been executed by His Majesty when he came here.
"I know, there will be such a day after all, it's just the difference between one day earlier and one day later."
Mingwan didn't react much. She didn't have much friendship with Wei Zhao. Instead, she was a little disdainful of him escaping. It was expected that he was sent here by King Yan.
After all, why should anyone help an incompetent and mediocre person? It is better to just be a friendly person and make friends between the two countries.
"What about Shu'er?"
Mingwan asked worriedly, in her opinion, Wei Shu had always been a soft-hearted person, and would she have any conflict with His Majesty because of this matter.
"Everything is fine on your side, there doesn't seem to be any conflict."
Xinfu shook her head.
"Now that everything has been resolved, there is no need to worry so much. I think His Majesty likes the empress very much. For a while, he will only have her in his eyes, so we don't need to worry!"
Xinfu persuaded in a low voice, there were guards outside Hanyu Palace these days, no one dared to break in and disturb.
"You don't understand," Mingwan sighed and shook her head helplessly, "I'm worried about her future. Can you guarantee that he will keep saying that His Majesty likes her all his life? What if one day he becomes indifferent?"
This is what Mingwan is really worried about the most. She doesn't believe in the heart of an emperor at all. What's more, there are other women around His Majesty now, and there will be more in the future.
"Let's wait slowly for now. When Your Majesty becomes more indifferent to her, I will go to see Your Majesty and ask him to allow me to return to my father's former fiefdom. This may be the best result."
Mingwan had already made up her mind. This was the only way. After going to her father's fiefdom, the two women would rely on each other and they would be able to get through this life.
"I'm going to see her tonight and I have something I want to make clear to her."
Mingwan really couldn't wait for him and wanted to see Taoyao right now. There were many things she wanted to tell her clearly and also wanted to ask her questions clearly.
Are you really in love with His Majesty? But are you really willing to stay with His Majesty, or is it just because you want to survive?
Tao Yao looked at the peach blossom picture drawn on the table. Chu Xiao had just held her hand and sketched it out stroke by stroke. It was really beautiful and she really liked it.
"Princess, I really feel that Your Majesty likes you very much. When I came here to deliver tea just now, I saw Your Majesty staring at you so tenderly. It seems that he has never looked at you with such tenderness towards another woman!"
Hong Luo smiled happily, as long as her master was willing to be loved by His Majesty, the future life would be better.
"Yeah?"
Taoyao was originally in a good mood, but when she heard about the other woman, she immediately felt that there was nothing special about her.
She also forgot that there were many other women around Chu Xiao, so she had no interest in looking at this peach blossom picture, so she felt that it was ordinary and might as well be as useful as randomly changing a peach blossom by herself.
"Of course it is!" Hong Luo didn't notice anything was wrong with Tao Yao and still nodded vigorously, "There are so many concubines in the harem. Your Majesty really only likes the princess. He has the deepest love for the princess. No woman can compare with him." Not on!"
At least in Hong Luo's opinion, that's what happened. At first, she wanted to take it one step at a time to see how much love the princess could get from His Majesty.
But I didn't expect that after such a long time, His Majesty's feelings for the princess seem to be getting deeper and deeper. This is really a good thing!
"So what if I can compare to you, so what if I can't compare to you. I don't care about any of that. You should think about what you will do in the future."
Taoyao shook her head. She didn't understand what women in this era thought. Are they really willing to accept that their husband has another woman by his side?
Most of them are unwilling, but there is no way. The civilization of this era is like this, and it will progress bit by bit in the future.
And she won't stay here forever, definitely not.
