The Legend of the Weaver Girl in Search of the Gods
Xiliang's only royal family, Princess Tuozan, and the Xiliang Army worked together to assassinate His Majesty from the inside and outside.
She had already committed suicide in prison for fear of punishment.
Xiliang had long been out of control.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still many small disturbances in the Central Plains, the cavalry of the Central Plains would have already flattened Xiliang.
The external troubles had been resolved, and the internal troubles had also been eliminated.
However, the ministers in the imperial court.
Their hearts were still restless.
Everyone knew that the Runan Of Gojoseon was the direct royal family of the previous dynasty.
However, after Xue Pinggui ascended to the throne,
Everyone could ignore this point and try their best not to think about it.
After all, it wouldn't be good if it was involved.
Anyway, in their opinion,
The Runan Of Gojoseon, Li Yi's best result in his life was to slowly live out his remaining years in Chang 'an.
However, who knew that there would be a turn of events.
The Runan Of Gojoseon was ordered by His Majesty to quell the rebellion and fake defeat in the battle.
He led the enemy to take the bait.
Not only did he beat the Xiliang Army at the border until they were forced to retreat.
In the end, he even cleared out the ones in the country.
At the same time, his secret forces were revealed.
However, when they were alerted, it was already too late.
No one knew what he said.
The generals who went with him changed sides one after another.
It was as if they supported him as Emperor.
The Emperor was seriously ill, and there was no leader in the imperial court. When the Runan Of Gojoseon led his troops into Chang 'an, the ministers were all sweating. They were afraid that he would directly attack the city. If he really did that, no one else could do anything. After all, other than the remaining imperial guards and city guards in Chang' an, there were no other soldiers and horses. The rest had all been gathered by the Runan Of Gojoseon. They couldn't fight together at all.
Surprisingly, the Runan Of Gojoseon left all his soldiers outside the city and only brought a group of cavalry into the city. That night, he even rescued the emperor who was stabbed by the rebellious Princess Tuozan.
His Majesty's body had been examined by the imperial physician. His body was in decline, and with the knife wound in his heart, he did not have much time left to live.
Under such circumstances, the Runan Of Gojoseon should strike while the iron was hot and seize the throne.
But … he didn't.
The Runan Of Gojoseon was still sitting quietly in his seat, Wangye. He still looked like a good official. Every day, he went to the palace to submit memorials to His Majesty. He looked so diligent. If it were not for the soldiers and horses stationed outside the city, the officials would have almost believed him.
Perhaps the Runan Of Gojoseon was waiting for His Majesty to die so that he could sit on the throne openly.
Since they could not see the drama of His Majesty snatching the throne, everyone could only wait for His Majesty to pass away and for the Runan Of Gojoseon to ascend to the throne.
As the saying went, the fist was the law. Now, no one in the country was a match for the Runan Of Gojoseon. If he wanted to rebel, it would be a matter of minutes, not to mention that he was a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty. Thinking about it this way, the opposition could be ignored, and there was a … strange sense of comfort.
They waited and waited. The officials watched helplessly as His Majesty finally passed away on a sunny afternoon. They breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they also became nervous.
The time had come.
His Majesty's funeral was held grandly.
They waited and waited, but there was no news. They waited and waited, but there was still no movement.
The officials stretched their necks to see how the Runan Of Gojoseon was going to make a move. But he was like an old monk who sat still and did not react at all.
Therefore, during the daily court meeting, there was a very … strange scene. The officials who met in the morning mostly greeted each other.
"You're here."
"Ah, you're here too. Have you eaten?"
Now that they met, after looking at each other, they quietly whispered in each other's ears.
"Is there any news about that person today?"
"No, there's no news at all."
Every day, the officials were concerned about, "Why hasn't the Runan Of Gojoseon rebelled today?"
They kept talking until the news of the Empress giving birth came from the palace. Then they realized that other than the Great Prince, there was another in the Empress' belly.
The Great Prince was half Xiliang. Not to mention whether he could succeed the throne, with the Runan Of Gojoseon around, it was unlikely. The gender of the baby in the Empress' belly was still unknown. Even if it was a prince, it would not be of any help.
Because of this, ever since the Runan Of Gojoseon returned to Chang 'an, people had neglected the Empress. Now that she was about to give birth, they remembered her.
When the Empress was born, the Runan Of Gojoseon hurried into the palace and summoned the imperial doctors to help the Empress give birth. After hearing this news, those who were sensitive noticed that something was wrong.
"It's a little prince." Cui 'er smiled happily as she held the newborn baby in her arms.
Siyang did not spend much effort giving birth. The baby was obedient and came out without any trouble.
After lying on the bed and taking a few deep breaths, Siyang said, "Bring him over for me to take a look."
The baby had just cried a few times, but now he was asleep. He was very clean. He was neither wrinkled nor pink. His eyes were closed, and he occasionally smacked his lips.
"The little prince is really beautiful. This is the most beautiful child I've ever seen."
"How many have you seen?" Siyang laughed.
"Wangye, you're an outsider. You can't go in …"
The noise outside attracted Siyang's attention. She said to Cui 'er, "Wrap the baby up properly and bring him out for him to take a look."
"Yes." Cui 'er naturally knew who she was referring to.
The palace maid did not stop Li Yi. After hearing the baby's cries, he could not sit still.
"Wangye, this is the little prince." Cui 'er quickly went to greet him.
Li Yi lowered his head and looked at the baby in Cui 'er's arms. His expression was somewhat emotional. He reached out as if he wanted to touch the baby, but when he touched the swaddling clothes, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
"It's a little prince …" Li Yi stared at the baby and muttered, as if to ease the awkwardness.
"It's a little prince. Congratulations, Wangye." Cui 'er smiled and bowed.
"Take good care of him." Looking at the delivery bed, Li Yi quickened his steps and walked closer. When he got close, he paused and carefully sat down on the edge of the bed. His eyes were fixed on Siyang's face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Thank you for your hard work." The gentleness in his eyes was almost tangible and flowed out. Reaching out to stroke Siyang's wet hair, Li Yi's voice was extremely soft, "Thank you."
Turning her head, Siyang said, "Don't thank me. That's my child."
"Of course it's yours." Stunned by her stubbornness, Li Yi grabbed Siyang's hand and chuckled. His voice was slightly deep, "But … it's also my child."
That was the truth. Siyang did not refute him.
"Now, how does Wangye want to treat us?" Siyang leaned back to make herself more comfortable and looked at him.
Li Yi's eyes narrowed, "What does the empress think?"
"Oh, Wangye's words mean that this empress will make the decision?" Her beautiful eyes were smiling, slightly curved.
His heart beat even faster. Li Yi himself did not understand why he was moved by this woman in front of him. But every time he saw her calm, confident, and intelligent appearance, he could not help but … let her do as she wished.
"Right now, the empress is not the only one who has the final say in this world." Li Yi ridiculed, but also somewhat self-deprecating.
Siyang pulled her hand out, but touched the man's face. Pursing her lips, she smiled and said softly, "How would this concubine dare? Wangye has great power and is the pillar of the country. In the future, this concubine can only rely on Wangye."
Because of her words, the color of his eyes gradually deepened. His large palm wrapped around her hand. Li Yi held his breath, but in the end, he sighed helplessly.
"I really don't know what to do with you." The doting in this sentence made Siyang embarrassed.
The empress gave birth to a little prince. Just after nine days, he ascended the throne.
The courtiers: "…" What happened to the rebellion?
This wave of actions made people in a trance.
But all of this was the truth. The Runan Of Gojoseon personally sent the little emperor to the dragon throne. There was no unwillingness on his face, it was almost written with the word "happy". It really made people confused. Although the little emperor did not even stop drinking milk, since this one had no objection, the others would not object. They all kowtowed to welcome the new emperor.
At the beginning of spring, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to the South.
Because the emperor was too young, the empress dowager ruled from behind the curtain. The Runan Of Gojoseon conferred the title of Prince Regent to assist the court.
At first, the courtiers thought that the name of the country was changed to "South" because of the Runan Of Gojoseon. Later on, as the young emperor gradually grew up, his face became more and more familiar. In addition, the Runan Of Gojoseon diligently running to the harem and the rumors.
The courtiers, who were slow to realize what had happened, felt that their hearts had been deeply hurt.
"How are you going to deal with the Eldest Wangye and the Eldest Princess? Someone is still concerned about them. "
Siyang was still living in the Yukun Palace. Everything was not much different from before. The biggest change was that she was now the empress dowager, the most honorable woman in the world.
Siyang took the booklet in Li Yi's hand and flipped through it. She shook her head and said, "Since they are so free to care about these things, why don't they send more practical people down? The court is not so generous to raise a group of people who only know how to talk nonsense."
Li Yi helplessly took out the booklet and put it aside.
"Why is your temper getting worse?"
Si Yang ignored him and said, "Although these people are annoying, they also reminded me that those two children should also be dealt with, so as to avoid more trouble."
Xue Pinggui and Tuozan's deaths were straightforward, but their children were still alive and well. Siyang did not intend to kill the innocent children, but their identities were still a problem.
The two children were already sensible. Tuozan raised them by her side. They did not have a good impression of Siyang and knew how their mother died. They could not be raised properly.
"How about this, Xiliang is now a subject. Wangye is Tuozan's son and is half Xiliang. Send him to Xiliang to be the new king of Xiliang. I think Xiliang will be very happy."
"Ahem …" Hearing this, Li Yi put his fist to his lips and coughed. This method …
Xiliang was not the same as before. Without a ruler, Xiliang was very chaotic. There were many people vying for the throne, and all of them held power. Now that a king of Xiliang was suddenly appointed, Wangye would be in for a good time. For the sake of the court, they probably would not take his life, but other things were hard to say.
"As for the First Princess …" Siyang glanced at Li Yi and lowered his head. "She's grown up anyway. Prepare to get married. Xiliang is her mother's hometown. Her brother is also there, so they can go together."
"That's a good idea." Li Yi had no objections this time.
The two of them sat side by side. They were not worried that Wangye's power would increase after he went to Xiliang and bring trouble to them.
Because …
A gust of wind blew over, and the bead curtain was pushed aside. A cute little boy ran in with a tilted body, angrily lying on Si Yang's lap. He raised his tender little face, narrowed his eyes, and grinned.
"Mother ~"
Then he turned his little head and looked at the other person.
"Father ~"
Everything in the future could be given to this child as a good whetstone.
At the same time, many officials in the court wrote a letter saying that the Xiliang Army was ambitious and had no sense of belonging to the Central Plains. If they were left alone, there would be a rebellion sooner or later. They hoped that His Majesty, Xue Pinggui, would take more precautions.
The Xiliang faction in the court denied it and only said that it was training the soldiers. It was obvious that someone was making a mountain out of a molehill. The Xiliang Army was naturally warlike, so it was understandable for them to train with each other. Moreover, the people in the Xiliang Army had left their homeland to come to the Central Plains. Some of them missed their hometown very much, so it was reasonable for them to go back and visit.
Xue Pinggui heard these words. He was expressionless as he sat on the throne in the court. In the end, he gave a strict order that the Xiliang Army was not to make any moves without an imperial order. If they disobeyed the imperial order, it would be seen as a rebellion.
Siyang knew everything that happened in the court. Of course she knew. After all, she was part of the driving force behind the scenes.
Taking advantage of Xue Pinggui's attention being focused on the Xiliang Army, Li Yi began to secretly mobilize his men. When the previous Emperor was still alive, he had trained a sizable army in his territory. He had originally wanted to lead the army to quell the rebellion in the name of cleaning up the Emperor's disloyal subordinates. Unfortunately, Xue Pinggui was one step ahead of him.
The Xiliang Army led by Xue Pinggui came in a menacing manner. Coupled with the instability of the imperial court and the chaos in many regions, Xue Pinggui managed to seize the initiative.
For the sake of the overall situation, Li Yi decisively broke up all the forces and immediately bowed down to Xue Pinggui. He had always been a low-key Wangye to the outside world. Xue Pinggui's investigation could only find out so much.
After coming to Chang 'an, Li Yi did not give up on his great cause. He was Wangye of the previous Emperor's dynasty, and he had the authentic blood of the royal family. Although there were many restrictions, from another perspective, he was like a fish in water.
There was a change of dynasty, and the direct descendants of the previous Emperor still existed. Xue Pinggui did not have the time to make a move. This was his opportunity. Not all of the old officials of the previous Emperor were willing to let the world be ruled by a person of humble origin.
The current situation was the best time to make a move secretly.
In the palace, Siyang was nurturing the fetus. At the same time, she was also paying attention to Tuozan.
"His Majesty has already used this as an excuse to change the guards at the West Palace."
Stirring the chicken soup porridge in her hand with a spoon, Siyang nodded when she heard the news from Cui 'er. She lowered her eyelids and was not surprised. "There is a Xiliang Army in the West Palace in the palace. How can Xue Pinggui be at ease?"
Now, Xue Pinggui was afraid of the Xiliang Army, or Tuozan herself. Many of the Xiliang soldiers in the court had been attacked. What was left was to clean up the palace.
Now, he felt that Tuozan was like a hot potato. He could not be too cruel to her. Otherwise, it would make the Xiliang Army even more restless. However, he could not not suppress it. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit on the throne with peace of mind.
"How did Tuozan react?" At this point, Siyang would not believe that Tuozan did not take any action.
Cui 'er's face darkened. She squatted in front of Siyang and straightened out the wrinkles on her clothes. "The people in the West Palace have found out that they are in contact with the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital. Miss, we have to be careful."
"Yes." The spoon stirred the porridge until it was no longer hot. Siyang dipped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.
"Miss, let me warm it up for you."
"No need." Shaking her head, Siyang refused Cui 'er. She put down the spoon, held the bowl, and threw it to the ground under Cui' er's gaze.
Crack!
The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into two halves. The sound was crisp and clear.
"Miss, what happened …" Before Cui 'er could finish, she saw her miss frowning and holding her bulging belly. She cried out in pain.
"Quick, call for the imperial physicians. My stomach hurts …"
Cui 'er was frightened. She supported Siyang and did not know what to do. "Miss, Miss … don't scare me."
The palace maids waiting outside all moved. Siyang glanced at them from the corner of her eyes and patted Cui 'er comfortingly. She raised her eyebrows.
Cui 'er was stunned when she saw this look. Then her eyes lit up. She nodded slightly and immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness. I will go find the imperial physicians for you."
Everyone knew that the Empress's pregnancy was very important. If she gave birth to a prince, he would be the Emperor's legitimate son and the most important.
Because of the Empress's cry, the Jade Earth Palace was in chaos. Xue Pinggui heard the news and rushed to the back palace immediately after the morning court.
"The Princess is pregnant."
In the West Palace, Aya reported to the person lying on the bed.
The person lying on the bed moved at first. Then she suddenly sat up and pushed the curtain aside.
Tuozan's beautiful face was not as bright as before. She looked more haggard and pale, but now she was full of joy. She stared at the maid Aya and asked eagerly, "Are you serious? Did you succeed? "
"Yes, the Jade Earth Palace is in chaos. You know the effect of the medicine. Anyone who gets a little bit of it can't be saved."
Aya was very confident in her arrangement. "Your Highness, you can rest assured. Once the Empress has an abortion, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again. As for His Majesty, it doesn't matter. He can't let the women in the back palace get pregnant and have children. In the future, he will only have one son, the First Prince. Even if he doesn't want to give the position of Crown Prince, it is not up to him."
"Good, good, good." Tuozan heard this and immediately clapped her hands and laughed. She laughed uncontrollably. "Let's see how they can bully me …"
Peng!
With a loud bang, the door of the West Palace was kicked open, causing the master and servant in the hall to look in shock.
When they saw who it was, their expressions suddenly changed.
Xue Pinggui strode in angrily. After hearing those words outside, he could no longer endure. The flames of anger spread from his heart and burned until his eyes were red and his face was twisted.
"You, how did you …" Tuozan pointed at him but couldn't finish her sentence.
"You want to ask why zhen is here, right?" Xue Pinggui laughed coldly. He gritted his teeth and walked closer. "Fortunately, zhen came. Otherwise, zhen would have missed your sinister and vicious methods."
"I didn't think that not only did you secretly harm the Empress and her unborn child, you also attacked zhen." Xue Pinggui came to denounce Tuozan for Siyang. Unexpectedly, he learned something that made him even angrier.
What did she mean by he couldn't let any woman in the harem get pregnant, unless … …
When he thought about it, it really made him angry.
"Come, lock up this vicious woman for zhen." The furious Xue Pinggui didn't have any mercy for Tuozan.
"Let's see who dares to touch this princess." At this point, Tuozan actually calmed down. She waved aside the guards that came forward and laughed coldly at Xue Pinggui. "Xue Pinggui, think carefully. If you dare touch a hair on my head, my Xiliang army will immediately rebel. You haven't even sat on the throne yet, do you want to fall now?"
This kind of threat angered Xue Pinggui even more. Especially the mockery on Tuozan's face. It made his eyes hurt and reminded him of his sullen past in Xiliang.
Two steps forward, Xue Pinggui fiercely pinched Tuozan's chin. Aya, who wanted to go over, was pressed to the ground.
Tuozan struggled a few times, but she wasn't Xue Pinggui's opponent and was firmly held down.
"You're threatening zhen." Xue Pinggui was so angry that he laughed. Looking at the face in front of him, Xue Pinggui no longer had the tender affection he had in the past. It had completely turned into disgust. He felt really uncomfortable just by looking at it. With a forceful swing of his hand, he flung the tortoise to the ground.
Xue Pinggui looked down at her with a dark expression. "Don't worry, zhen will have the Xiliang Army that you rely on go see your father. Otherwise, zhen will let down their loyalty to the imperial family."
"You, Xue Pinggui, what do you want to do?" Tuozan's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.
"Zhen will not force people that can't be used." With a cold snort, Xue Pinggui raised the corners of his lips. It was cold and cruel.
Staring at him with wide eyes, Tuozan suddenly understood. The person in front of her was no longer her lowly prince consort. When he ascended the throne, he was the emperor.
"Tuozan has been locked up?" Siyang asked.
"Young miss, don't worry about that for now. The imperial physician said that your fetus is unstable." Cui 'er, who was holding a bowl of medicine, was very worried.
"Silly girl." Shaking her head with a smile, she lowered her head and carefully rubbed her stomach. Siyang said, "I'm just doing it for them to see."
"You really scared this servant." Cui Er wanted to continue speaking, but she stopped herself in the middle of the sentence.
Seeing that Cui 'er suddenly stopped talking, Siyang opened her mouth to ask. However, when she looked up, she saw another cold face. Cui' er was nowhere to be seen.
This girl.
Cursing Cui 'er in her heart, Siyang's lips curved and her brows relaxed. "Why are you here? The Xiliang Army is in an emergency right now."
"If I didn't come, would you hide what happened in the palace from me?" Li Yi said in a low voice. His eyes were cold.
Siyang didn't take his expression to heart. Rubbing her stomach, she said carelessly, "I already said it was fake. You took it seriously."
"You …" Angered by her attitude, Li Yi turned his head and took a deep breath of cold air. Otherwise, he was really worried that he would be angered to death by this heartless woman.
Looking at him, Siyang also noticed that his appearance today was not very neat. He must have hurried to the palace after hearing the news about Ban La and was worried about her safety. Thinking of this, she was touched.
"Okay." Sitting up against the soft pillow, Siyang took his hand and slowly put it on her bulging stomach. "Don't worry. He's fine."
Even though he was angry, Li Yi didn't refuse Siyang. After sitting down, he frowned and said unhappily with a stiff face, "Wang was worried about you."
Siyang didn't expect him to say this. She was slightly surprised. Looking at him quietly, she saw him carefully rubbing her bulging stomach and finally curling the corners of his mouth.
"That's right. Don't you know how to get medicine? You're really a stupid girl. "Tuozan scolded.
"That's right. Only this stupid girl can suffer so much with me."
Tuozan's face stiffened because of Siyang's seemingly unintentional words. She looked at Xue Pinggui again and found that he was not much better. Seeing this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Cui 'er bit her lips, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Yes … this servant will go now."
The medicine was quickly served. During this time, Siyang kept stopping Xue Pinggui. She talked endlessly about the past and how she missed him after being separated for so many years. Xue Pinggui reminisced with her affectionate eyes. Tuozan couldn't get a word in and could only laugh dryly. From time to time, she would say a few words.
On the surface, it seemed very harmonious, but no one knew what they were thinking.
"Come, Baochuan, drink the medicine first." Xue Pinggui took the bowl of medicine Cui 'er brought over. He didn't dislike it and gently blew on the hot air before bringing it to Siyang's lips.
Staring at the bowl of black medicine, Siyang didn't open her mouth. She stared at him with her dark eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, do you think this medicine can cure this servant?"
Xue Pinggui's hand holding the spoon paused. He looked away and said calmly, "… Why not? The imperial physician said that your body is a little weak. You'll be fine after some nourishment. "
"Yes." As if she had been convinced, Siyang's lips pulled into a faint smile. It seemed to have a different meaning. Xue Pinggui's eyes flashed. When he looked again, he saw her open her mouth and drink the medicine.
Tuozan's hand gripped the handkerchief so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The two of them were so affectionate that it seemed unnecessary to remind her. Clearly, clearly, His Majesty was hers. Wang Baochuan … the so-called wife, couldn't help her husband at all. What was the use? It was all because of her bad luck.
"Rest after drinking the medicine. We will visit you more often."
"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant will wait for you."
After coldly watching Xue Pinggui agree, he left with Tuozan without looking back. Siyang slowly closed her eyes.
"Miss, are you alright?" After watching them leave, Cui 'er hurriedly returned. She looked like she was about to cry. "Why did you drink that medicine?"
"It's fine." The hoarse voice was no longer there. It became clear and bright. She took her hand out of the quilt. At the same time, she took out a strip of gray cloth. It was an unrecognizable color.
"This is …" Cui 'er's eyes widened.
Siyang casually threw the cloth on the ground. She wiped the corner of her mouth and said mockingly, "If you're not sick, why did you take medicine? Get rid of that thing."
"Yes." This time, Cui 'er's response was more cheerful. The young miss was already on guard. Cui' er was still holding her back. Next time, I should listen to the young miss. Cui 'er secretly thought.
After leaving the Central Palace, Xue Pinggui used the excuse that he still had matters to attend to and left first. Looking at his back, Tuozan, who originally wanted to stay with him for a while, slowly became gloomy. However, she held it in. She didn't explode until she returned to her Western Palace.
"Get out of my way." She waved the tea that had just been served. The steaming tea spilled all over the floor.
"Imperial Concubine, please calm down."
"What imperial concubine?" The Western Palace was Tuozan's territory. Even Xue Pinggui couldn't interfere because the servants and guards here were all people she brought from Xiliang. Everyone here would only listen to her orders.
With eyes full of anger, Tuozan looked at the people kneeling on the floor. She snorted and pointed at them: "This princess should be the Empress. Imperial Concubine, I don't deserve to be."
Looking at the mess in the room and the frightened people, one of them walked out and sighed, "Princess, please calm down. Don't hurt your body."
Since the first day they moved in, this kind of scene would happen every two or three days.
"Aya, why do you think?" Tuozan looked at her with a frown. She suddenly ran over and grabbed her arm, shaking it: "Why, why isn't Wang Baochuan dead?"
In this palace, the only person who could brazenly curse the Empress to die early was Tortoise Zan.
Aya had served Tuozan since she was young. Of course, she knew the knot in her heart. Wang Baochuan was this knot.
"Princess, she will die." Aya's eyes were gloomy. She kept comforting Tuozan and said in a soft voice: "She is just the daughter of a rebel. His Majesty felt guilty and gave her the title of Empress because of the past relationship and the many years of debt. But she doesn't have the life to be the Empress."
"The Phoenix Seal is with you. The power of the harem is in your hands. Wang Baochuan is nothing … Also, don't worry, she won't live for long."
Aya's voice seemed to be able to bewitch people. Tuozan listened and became quiet. She began to think. Her lips moved and she whispered: "Yes, you are right. She will die. She will die. "
Suddenly, Tuozan thought of something: "By the way, you … what you did won't be …"
"Princess, don't worry." Aya shook her head slightly. She reached out a hand and made a shushing gesture to stop her: "We didn't do anything."
"What?" Tuozan didn't understand.
Aya's expression became subtle. She leaned closer and whispered: "There is someone who is actually more anxious than us."
"You mean …" Tuozan's heart suddenly tightened. Emotions surged in her eyes. After a moment, she sneered: "I really overestimated him. Now that I think about it, Wang Baochuan is really pitiful."
She said pitiful words, but there was no sympathy on her face.
"So we just need to wait quietly." Finally, she persuaded her. Aya breathed a sigh of relief and helped her fix her crooked hair ornaments: "Princess, don't be anxious. You should think about how to show your bearing as the mother of the country at the banquet of peace."
"Yes, the banquet of peace must be my home field."
"I miss you so much, sister."
"Since you miss me, why don't you come back?" Si Yang didn't move at all and just let Ning Xiang hug her. Hearing Ning Xiang's words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Her tone was cold and implied a question.
"Sister?" Clove choked on her sobs. She raised her head and looked at Siyang. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked gentle and pitiful, which made people feel sorry for her.
Siyang tilted her head slightly and looked at her: "Sister, didn't you say that no matter what happened, we sisters would not leave each other alone?"
"Sister, sister …" It was Ningxiang's first time seeing "Daji" like this. She didn't have her usual naivety. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Just looking at her made one's heart feel cold.
Clove couldn't help but anxiously take two steps back. She swallowed her saliva and said carefully: "You, what's wrong, sister? I, I came to see you. You know, the king was so angry that day when he ordered you to be locked up. I pleaded for you, but the king didn't listen to me …"
As she spoke, Clove's eyes reddened. She bit her lip and said sadly: "What can I do? I'm afraid that if I anger the king again, I'll end up like you. If that happens, we sisters will never be able to make a name for ourselves."
"Is that so?" Siyang smiled and sat down on the table. She picked up the Little Geek who came over.
"Sister, I've been looking for a chance to save you." Clove said again.
Ningxiang, this younger sister, looked very weak. When she was with Daji, because Daji was not educated, she did not understand things, and could not distinguish between good and evil, so she did not have any rules in her actions. She usually did as she pleased, and Ningxiang often went along with her.
In terms of appearance, the two sisters looked similar. They were both devastatingly beautiful. However, Clove paled in comparison to Daji.
Therefore, if the two sisters stood together, Daji would always attract most of the people's attention. Clove, on the other hand, was much dimmer. For a long time, Clove had a knot in her heart. It wasn't obvious when she was in Jizhou.
At that time, Daji was strictly controlled by Su Hu. Not many people had seen her. The two sisters didn't appear together that often. However, after coming to Zhaoge, things had changed. The differences were also reflected.
These days, Cong Ningxiang wanted to attract attention. Whenever Daji did something wrong, she would rush out to help her admit her mistake. Whenever she met someone, she would say that her elder sister was uneducated and did not know etiquette.
The daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou was illiterate. If word got out, she would be ridiculed. As the younger sister, she would expose her sister's shortcomings.
Leaning on the table, Siyang carefully looked at Clove. She sized her up from head to toe. She came to the conclusion that her cheap sister was probably a white lotus. She even had a bit of a sissy's temperament.
"Little sister, you're really open-minded. I was locked up and my life and death is unknown. You just said a few words to plead for me and then turned around to have fun with the king. You completely forgot about me. Why didn't I realize that little sister's memory is so bad before?" Siyang said gently as she stroked Little Geek's fur. However, everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Clove's expression changed. She gritted her teeth and squatted in front of Siyang. She grabbed Siyang's hand. "Sister, don't be like this. I know you're not in a good mood, but I really didn't forget about you. I didn't come to see you."
"Without Bo Yikao's message, would you have come?" Siyang looked down at her and asked calmly.
"I, I …" Meeting Si Yang's gaze, Ning Xiang couldn't say anything. After a moment of hesitation, her face was filled with embarrassment. She turned her head and whispered, "No matter what, you are still my sister. I won't ignore you. In the future, I will come and see you more often. Don't worry."
"Sister, I appreciate your kindness. However, I don't need it now."
"What do you mean?" Clove felt that something was wrong.
Breaking free from Clove's hand, Siyang slowly stroked her cheek. Finally, she used a bit of force and pinched her chin.
