V2.Chapter 169

Xiao Zhenting and Xiao Wuye met in the military camp. At that time, Xiao Wuye was just an unremarkable soldier under Xiao Zhenting. However, gold always shines. When the rebels were fighting, Fifth Master Xiao only took five brothers to raid the rebels' food and forage. The rebels who ran out of food and forage were in chaos and could not break the army. In terms of martial arts, Fifth Master Xiao was not a leader, and his formation was not very top-notch. , but Xiao Wuye has a pair of eyes that are like fire, almost when the enemy sneezes, Xiao Wuye can guess what flag they will take next.

Thanks to Xiao Wuye, a general, there were fewer detours on the road to quell the rebels, which not only means a lot of military merit, but also means that the bloodshed and sacrifice of the soldiers can be reduced.

The two share the same surname as Xiao, and they were in the same family five hundred years ago. When they drank by chance, Xiao Zhenting learned that the other party was born in the same month and the same day as him, and immediately made a decision to worship him.

Fifth Master Xiao is several years younger than Xiao Zhenting, and his identity is a lot shorter. To be his sworn brother, to be honest, Fifth Master Xiao is ignorant, and after being ignorant, he becomes more and more loyal to Xiao Zhenting.

On the day the Xiao family army was disbanded, Fifth Master Xiao witnessed this sturdy man crying like a child on the mountain bag in the camp.

There are always many things in this world that cannot be controlled by oneself, such as the disbanding of the Xiao family army, and the entry of the fifth elder sister Xiao into the palace.

Fifth Master Xiao's elder sister has reached the age of marriage, but she is arrogant and arrogant, and she always looks down on those men outside, but she can reject everyone, but she can't reject the emperor alone, if Xiao Zhenting would have agreed to her marriage , she naturally does not need to enter the palace draft.

During the draft, Wan Zhaoyi dressed herself very ugly, but the emperor had the intention to win over the fifth master Xiao, and put her into the harem regardless of her ugliness. .

The boat was done, and Wan Zhaoyi couldn't be sent back.

If Wan Zhaoyi wanted to live in the cannibal harem, she had to get the emperor's favor.

Shangguan Yan has always understood some things, but she never said it. Soon after she passed the door, Mrs. Xiao could not get along with her secretly or secretly. When she was so angry, she would stab her with old things. For example, if you hadn't seduced the two Brother, can the second brother marry a widow as a daughter-in-law? How wonderful Linlang is, there is a eldest daughter of the yellow flower, and the Xiao family has long respected her as the second lady!

Xiao Linlang, the boudoir name of Wan Zhaoyi.

Mrs. Xiao angered her with such words more than once, but she didn't take it to heart at all. For one, she married Xiao Zhenting to repay her kindness, and also for the medicine in the forbidden area of ​​Xiao's family. As for who Xiao Zhenting had in her heart, she almost She didn't care who she married.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao was not stimulating her, she was too lazy to say this again, and gradually she forgot about it.

Seeing that scene suddenly today, to be honest, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Yan'er, don't go anymore, it's raining heavily, listen to me!" Xiao Zhenting took off her robe and put it over her head, soaking herself all the way. Even so, her clothes were still a lot wet.

The thunder stopped.

Xiao Zhenting pulled her under a big tree.

Shangguan Yan was very angry, and she didn't know what she was angry about, but she was not a little girl anymore, so she couldn't play with her temper like that.

She forced herself to calm down and asked Xiao Zhenting, "You...have you hugged her yet?!"

"I didn't!" Xiao Zhenting swore to God!

Shangguan Yan actually saw that it was Wan Zhaoyi who rushed at him, and he immediately pushed him away, but she just wanted to hear it herself.

Shangguan Yan said again: "Then you...Aren't you picking dates for the Ninth Princess? How did you meet her?"

"She and the female envoy got separated. I escorted her back to the temple so I can't worry about you, so I brought her to find you. I didn't know it rained halfway, and she fell and sprained her foot. It happened that there was a thatched hut nearby. I helped her to hide from the rain." Xiao Zhenting explained everything in detail.

Shangguan Yan originally wanted to say, are you still helping her? What is there to help that kind of woman? It must have been dropped on purpose!

But how can she say this at her age?

"I really didn't know she would do this!" Xiao Zhenting said solemnly.

"I don't know if you're fake." Shangguan Yanyi was uneasy. Although he repeatedly told himself to be rational, there was an uncontrollable voice in his mind, "Did you know when the two of you talked about marriage?"

"That's my mother's will, I didn't agree!"

"What about her feelings for you?"

Xiao Zhenting sighed: "I can't do anything to her just because she has me in her heart, not to mention that Xiao Wu and I are sworn brothers, since I found out that my mother tried to match our marriage, I moved out of Xiao's house. Until I marry you back."

Mrs. Xiao Tai was really satisfied with Xiao Linlang to the core, and wished that Xiao Zhenting and her bridal room were in place, but Xiao Zhenting expressed her intentions from the beginning - she already has a sweetheart, and she will not marry her in this life.

At first, Mrs. Tai didn't know that his sweetheart was Shangguan Yan. She felt that Xiao Linlang was good, but if her son did not agree with her, she did not intend to become a mortal enemy with her son. Later, she found out that the woman her son was marrying turned out to be a woman with a small oil bottle. Widow, Mrs. Tai almost died of anger.

This time, Mrs. Tai gave up, and directly brought Xiao Linlang into the mansion on the grounds that she was seriously ill. Mrs. Tai wanted to create a chance for the two to get along, but Xiao Zhenting moved into the military camp without saying a word.

To say that Xiao Zhenting didn't know Wan Zhaoyi's thoughts towards him would be a lie; but that was more than ten years ago, how did Xiao Zhenting expect that Xiao Linlang hadn't given up on him yet?

"I'm not good..."

"Who said you were bad!"

Shangguan Yan refuted.

Xiao Zhenting was stunned for a moment and looked at her incredulously: "Yan'er, do you think I'm good?"

Shangguan Yan turned her back, squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Is this the time to talk about this? You have provoked the emperor's woman, wait for the emperor to execute your nine clans!"

Xiao Zhenting said sternly: "One person does things and one person is responsible, don't worry, if you really make trouble with Your Majesty, I also have a way to protect you."

Shangguan Yan turned around, glared at him, and asked with hatred, "Have you never thought about protecting yourself?"

"I..." Xiao Zhenting asked her to be dumbfounded.

Shangguan Yan said angrily, "Just let such a woman drag you into the water?"

He is a rough man, not as considerate and meticulous as King Yan, and he doesn't understand women's minds very well, but at this moment, his elm knot suddenly opened, and his eyes were bright and he asked: "Yan'er, you...you Are you jealous?"

He knew that she married him, but because she didn't want to owe him, and because Yan Jiuchao's illness needed to be cured for a long time, she was worried that he would run out of patience and stop treating Yan Jiuchao's illness one day.

Her marriage was a last resort, and she actually despised him in her heart.

He never dreamed that she would one day be jealous of herself.

Shangguan Yan's eyelashes trembled: "It's raining less!"

Push him away in the direction of the cabin.

In the cabin, the nine princesses had already fallen asleep in Fuling's arms, and the conversation between Yu Wan and Wan Zhaoyi continued.

Yu Wan said lightly: "You can admit it or not, in short, you know what you have done or not, I am not here to force you to confess, I just have two questions to ask you, if you are honest Answered, I will not kill you."

Wan Zhaoyi sneered: "It's like you can kill Ben Gong."

"Would you like to try it?" Yu Wan pinched a jujube leaf.

"Do you think this palace will be afraid of death?" Wan Zhaoyi smiled coldly.

Yu Wan nodded: "Yeah, I almost forgot, the man you love left you, and your only flesh and blood is gone, I really don't know what else in this world is worth your nostalgia? Ah, is my father counted? One? You're dead, but you really don't have the chance to be with him again."

Wan Zhaoyi looked over with cold eyes: "Can you even betray your father-in-law for Yan Jiuchao?"

Yu Wan said: "I didn't betray him, I'm just telling you, if you still want to see him, don't die in my hands."

Wan Zhaoyi turned her face away and said, "If you have the guts, go to His Majesty and report on me."

This is unwilling to say.

Yu Wan was not discouraged, she pushed open the back door of the main room, looked at the gradually weakening heavy rain and said, "Actually, I can't figure it out, how did you hook up with the Nanzhao royal family? There are so many poor women in the palace, why do you just selected you?"

Of course Wan Zhaoyi would not tell her the truth.

Yu Wan added: "There is also the antidote of thyme, if I guessed correctly, after you poisoned Yan Jiuchao, Yan Jiuchao has never been poisoned, and the Nanzhao royal family thought that you had missed it, and it has not been repeated since then. I have contacted you."

Wan Zhaoyi looked at Yu Wan in surprise.

Yu Wan said: "Don't look at me like that, yes, you succeeded, but for some reason, the toxicity was suppressed."

Wan Zhaoyi lowered her eyes.

Yu Wan shook her head and said, "But I still don't understand why you have to hurt Yan Jiuchao, even if he dies, Shangguan Yan will not be able to live, but you have already entered the palace as a concubine. It is also impossible to marry Xiao Zhenting again, not to mention that you can leave the palace with a fake death, I think even if you have a new identity, Xiao Zhenting will not accept you, everything you have is in vain, you are simply dead stupid."

"What do you know?" Wan Zhaoyi growled.

The ninth princess in her sleep trembled, opened her eyes and looked at Fuling, then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"I don't understand? Don't you understand? You are a selfish and extremely stupid woman! You have exhausted all the calculations, and you are not trapped in this deep palace in the end!"

"Do you think I am for myself?! You think Princess Yan is so easy to marry! Do you really think that the bowl of Juzi soup is for Shangguan Yan to drink?!"

Clang!

The door was knocked on.

Shangguan Yan stood at the door in a daze, looking at Wan Zhaoyi in surprise.

Xiao Zhenting had already sensed something was wrong when he heard the second sentence, but it was too late to stop Xiao Linlang's mouth.

Shangguan Yan took a deep breath: "Xiao Linlang, what did you just say... what do you mean?"

"Ha, I knew it!" Wan Zhaoyi looked at Shangguanyan and Xiao Zhenting, and immediately burst into tears, "You've been hiding it from her for so many years, do you plan to hide it until you die?"

"Stop talking!" Xiao Zhenting shouted fiercely.

Wan Zhaoyi laughed frantically: "I want to say it!"

She turned her head to look at Yu Wan, "When Xiao Zhenting asked His Majesty to marry Shangguanyan, His Majesty gave him a bowl of Juezi soup and let him choose whether to drink it himself or Shangguanyan, in fact, it is the same no matter who drinks it. , as long as Xiao Zhenting has no children, everything in the Xiao family will eventually fall into the hands of Yan Jiuchao, and it will fall into the hands of the Dazhou royal family, a lost princess Yan, in exchange for everything in Marshal Xiao's mansion, why? It looks like a good deal.”

She said, looking at Xiao Zhenting with a tearful smile, "It's just that this man is stupid, he has to drink that bowl of absolute medicine by himself..."

She looked at Yu Wan again: "Why do you ask me to do this? I was lying on His Majesty's dragon couch at the time, and I heard His Majesty and Eunuch Wang's plan! Can I just watch him cut off his children?!"

"Don't you have your own selfishness?" Yu Wan asked.

Wan Zhaoyi laughed wildly: "I have it... Of course I have it! I'm still looking forward to marrying him after escaping from the palace... Spreading branches and leaves for him... Is it wrong for me to think so?"

Yu Wan looked at her indifferently: "You have killed an innocent child, no matter how right you are, you are wrong."

There was a hint of remorse on Wan Zhaoyi's face.

Yu Wan sighed softly, "You are just... making excuses for your own selfish desires."

Wan Zhaoyi inserted her hand into her hair: "No, it's not like this... I didn't... I didn't..."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Shangguan Yan turned around and looked at Xiao Zhenting with tears in her eyes.

"I..." Xiao Zhenting was speechless.

Not being able to give birth is a kind of silent pain for any woman. Ordinary people may live in guilt for the rest of their lives when they learn that they cannot help their husbands. She was even a little relieved when she took the medicine.

She doesn't love this man, she doesn't want to have his child.

King Yan is dead, and she is unwilling to give birth to a second man for the rest of her life, so let's take the medicine for the death of the child.

Shangguan Yan drank it willingly.

Knowing this, Xiao Zhenting felt that there was no need to say it.

What's more, talking about it will only make her feel guilty, and feel that she owes him another favor.

"You..." Shangguan Yan wanted to say that he was stupid, but found that her entire throat was choked.

Yu Wan looked at Shangguanyan, and then at Xiao Zhenting, and suddenly felt that the legend of the little monk and the ghost is not necessarily true, because there is really a kind of person in the world who can love a person to the core.

"Don't talk about this for now." Xiao Zhenting cleared his throat, looked at Yu Wan and said, "Awan, bring your mother into the house first. I have something to say, and I want to ask Niang Zhaoyi alone."

This is to question Wan Zhaoyi.

Maybe he didn't even guess it would be like this.

Yu Wan pulled Shang Guan Yan's hand.

Shangguanyan resisted the urge to cry, and entered the house of the Nine Princesses and Fuling with Yu Wan.

Yu Wan closed the door, the wood in the fire crackled, and no one raised their ears to listen to what the two had to say. After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Zhenting entered the house.

Shangguan Yan's eyes were red, sitting on the ground, looking at him blankly and at a loss.

He settled down: "Cong'er's business..."

"I told my mother." Yu Wan said.

What happened just now can't be hidden, and there is no need to hide it.

Xiao Zhenting nodded and said: "She said everything, Cong'er was poisoned by her, you can guess the reason, the people of Nanzhao promised to give her a fake death medicine to let her escape from the palace smoothly, and the people of Nanzhao still did it for her. Provided the identity of a Nanzhao businesswoman."

This kind of identity is much better than being anonymous in Da Zhou, no wonder Wan Zhaoyi is tempted.

Xiao Zhenting continued: "It's not accidental that the Nanzhao people found her, they found out about my relationship with Fifth Master Xiao, and also found out that she had talked to me about a relationship, and they were sure that she would be an excellent pawn to control, but that gang The Nanzhao people didn't expect that Thyme didn't have an attack, they thought it was her mistake, and they have never communicated with her since then."

This point coincides with Yu Wan's guess.

"How did she feed Yan Jiuchao?" Yu Wan asked.

Xiao Zhenting said: "It's not feeding it by hand, but when His Majesty was not prepared, he placed it in the snack that His Majesty gave to Cong'er."

At that time, Wan Zhaoyi was being favored, and she had the most chance to attack the emperor. Yu Wan paused and said, "Who are the masters of those Nanzhao people? The queen only heard that it was the Nanzhao royal family, but she didn't know. Which royal family?"

Xiao Zhenting glanced at Shangguanyan and said, "She doesn't know."

Obviously she knew, but it was inconvenient to say in front of Shangguanyan... Yu Wan wisely did not break the casserole and asked to the end.

"Where's the antidote?" Shangguan Yan was thinking about this, but did not notice the small expressions of Xiao Zhenting and Yu Wan.

Xiao Zhenting said: "She gave us the recipe, but we need to find the medicinal materials ourselves."

"It's good to have a recipe." Yu Wan paused and said sternly, "But this doesn't mean she can make up for her faults, and I still won't forgive her."

Xiao Zhenting nodded: "I know."

The rain stopped.

The group went back to the temple, and no one cared about Wan Zhaoyi, who was sprained.

Xiao Zhenting took Shangguanyan's hand and walked in front, Yu Wanyu followed behind with Ninth Princess, and no one asked Fuling what she was doing.

The forest is a little quiet after the heavy rain.

"Be careful." Xiao Zhenting pushed aside the thorns in front of him with his bare hands, and the thorns made a bloody hole in the palm of his hand.

Shangguan Yan felt a hole in her heart.

"Xiao Zhenting." Shangguan Yan choked and stopped.

Xiao Zhenting looked at her red eyes and was at a loss for a while: "What's wrong? Are you tired? I'll carry you!"

Shangguan Yan suddenly fell into his arms and burst into tears: "Who said I don't want to give birth to you...I want to give birth to you...I want to give birth to you..."
