The plum blossoms in the garden are gradually fading, the cold fragrance in the air is no longer so annoying, the frozen lake is slowly melting, and the breath of spring is slowly approaching, but Xiao Xue's mood is like the middle of winter, without any change.
The child grew slowly in her belly, and the fetal gas gradually stabilized. The imperial doctor's worries became unnecessary, but Xiao Xue never mentioned the child to Zhao Che.
After lunch that day, Xiao Xue took a walk in the imperial garden. Ruyi and Luzhu accompanied her behind. During this time, Xiao Xue was very silent, as if she was waiting for something, and her mood became darker day by day. Ruyi felt a little nostalgic about the time she first entered the palace.
When Xiao Xue was young, she was very lively and energetic, like a fiery fireball that brought people joy. She liked such a youthful and energetic Xiao Xue very much. Such a Xiao Xue would bring a lot of happiness to the people around her, many
smile.
Now she has become much quieter.
Both Ruyi and Luzhu knew that she was waiting for news from Beijun. After the year, the emperor had already attacked people in the four counties. He had sent secret envoys to the four counties to take back the military power and political power of the princes. However, he retained their titles.
Compared with the military power of 10,000, it gives them some power that makes them glorious enough. This is the best way, and it is also the best solution that Zhao Che, Cheng Mubai, Beitang Zhennan and others can come up with.
However, this solution did not seem to be approved by the three counties. The king of Dongjun secretly killed the emissary. Xiao Xue also received news that the emissary who went to Beijun was also killed in Beijun.
Zhao Che was furious because of this incident and Long Yan was currently dispatching troops to resolve the matter with force.
War is about to break out.
The secret envoy was killed in Beijun. This matter related to the trust relationship between Beijun and the imperial court. Most of the ministers in the court advised Zhao Che to send troops to Beijun. However, Xiao Bing, the prince of Beijun, has always been rebellious and has a history of rebellion. He is always the emperor's subordinate.
A serious concern. Secondly, Xiao Xue is the princess of Beijun and the mother of a country. If she gives birth to a prince, they are worried that the country will change its owner. Therefore, most of the ministers advised the emperor to send troops to Beijun.
Zhao Che mobilized his troops and generals, and seemed to have the intention of sending troops.
Xiao Xue did not ask to see Zhao Che, nor did she say a word for Beijun. She had no chance to see Zhao Che. Zhao Che did not see her at all. It was impossible for Zhao Che to see her in such a sensitive period. Xiao Xue did not ask for it.
As a shame, Lu Zhu asked her if something would happen to the prince and the crown prince. Xiao Xue didn't know how to answer Lu Zhu because she didn't know what to do.
If Zhao Che and Xiao Bing start a war, can she watch helplessly?
Can she still be her queen with peace of mind?
Xiao Xue looked at the spring atmosphere in the imperial garden and fell into struggle.
Zhao Che and Ziyihou walked towards each other, followed by Zhou Zheng, Li Ming and more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs. He and Ziyihou didn't know what to say, their faces were very serious, unsmiling, and not angry. Xiao Xue already had
She hadn't seen him for a month. In the dead of night, crazy thoughts always lingered in her heart. There were several nights when she always wanted to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to see him.
The Weiyang Palace and the Yangxin Palace are not far apart, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to ride in a sedan chair. However, they have not seen each other for a month. They both deliberately avoid the roads they often go to, so they cannot see each other.
Before Xiao Xue entered the palace, Xiao Bing once said that the palace is very big, with three palaces and six courtyards. There are countless women, and they are far apart from each other. Unlike the palace, where you can only walk in a few steps, maybe you can
Do you want to live such a life without being able to see the emperor once every year?
In the palace where many women's youth is slowly withering, do you also want to be a withered flower?
Xiao Xue fell in love with Zhao Che at the beginning and never looked back. She thought Xiao Bing was deliberately scaring her and didn't take it to heart. Now she realizes that what her brother said is true. If Zhao Che deliberately avoids seeing you, he may not be able to see you for a year.
The previous side.
The women in the palace are the saddest.
Missing and love fade away slowly in such distance.
Zhao Che also saw Xiao Xue. This imperial garden was not the imperial garden that Xiao Xue often visited. The imperial garden she visited most often was the garden near Weiyang Palace, which was close to the Yangxin Palace.
Zhao Che narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his fists unconsciously. She had lost a lot of weight, her chin was tapered, and she looked more delicate and thin, as if she would fall over if the wind blew. She was so pitiful that I felt pity for her. His eyes darkened.
, slightly sinking, as dark as a pool of deep water, unfathomable, Xiao Xue looked at him quietly, Zhao Che's heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and he felt a slight pain. He thought of Xiao Xue when he first entered the palace, and for a while he was very
I was busy and didn't have time to see her. Xiao Xue was a wonderful person. When he didn't go to Weiyang Palace, she would take Lvzhu to the gardens near Yangxin Palace. When she saw him, she would always greet him with a happy face, pretending to meet him by chance.
He remembered that Xiao Xue's smiling face at that time was very bright and warm, like melting winter snow, and like a dazzling ray of sunshine that penetrated the hardest part of his heart and melted all the ice and snow in her heart.
The smile on her face at that time was so brilliant.
Now she was standing three meters away, her eyes so calm, Zhao Che felt that the air in late winter and early spring was a bit colder, bitingly cold.
Xiao Xue led Ruyi and Luzhu to salute Zhao Che, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Che said calmly, "Pingshen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Xue stood up and looked down at the tips of her shoes. The purple satin was embroidered with pear blossoms, simple but gorgeous. She seemed to be fascinated by it, as if Zhao Che was not standing in front of her.
Zhao Che's eyes darkened, and a flash of anger flashed across his dark eyes, which quickly disappeared in his pupils. Ziyi Hou secretly thought that it was not good, he was clearly angry, Zhao Che said coldly, "Let's go."
What Zi Yihou wanted to say, Zhao Che had already passed Xiao Xue in silence. Zi Yihou followed helplessly. The emperor's temperament is really typical of duplicity. Even if he is not good at words, he didn't notice it even when the queen showed it so clearly.
.
There are no flowers at all in the Imperial Garden today. It is extremely cold in the middle of winter. Xiao Xue came here to enjoy the flowers just because she wanted to see him. Even if Xiao Xue was not aware of this, her actions showed it. Zhao Che actually didn’t express it at all.
, it really... deserves a beating.
Zi Yihou wanted to help them match up but was unable to do anything. Xiao Xue lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly. When Zi Yihou walked past her, she only saw a bitter smile on the corners of Xiao Xue's lips. Zi Yihou sighed. The emperor and empress were at odds. They should be
The ministers have suffered. I don’t know how angry I have been with Zhao Che in the past month. He treats all the ministers as cannon fodder. The ministers all wish that Zhao Che and Xiao Xue could reconcile immediately and love each other forever.
Luzhu said anxiously, "Mother, why didn't you say a word to the Emperor? It's not easy to see the Emperor once."
Xiao Xue smiled slightly and said, "There's nothing to say."
Luzhu looked at Ruyi, who shook his head. Ruyi was much calmer in comparison. Xiao Xue and Zhao Che didn't know what to say now. Unless Xiao Xue told the emperor that they had a child, they really had nothing to say.
How could they talk to each other properly when there was a Beijun between them?
Zhao Che and Zi Yihou walked into the pavilion. The cold wind blew by, with a biting coldness. Zhao Che looked at the river in silence, and his mind was filled with Xiao Xue's expressionless face just now.
Both angry and distressed.
How long will they continue like this?
Zi Yihou said, "Your Majesty, how can you be so stubborn? You clearly miss the Queen so much, why bother pretending? Didn't you see the Queen's disappointed expression just now?"
"I didn't see it." Zhao Che's tone was very cold, "I think she doesn't want to see me at all."
Even smart people will turn into fools when they fall in love, and Zhao Che is no exception. Zi Yihou sighed, if Xiao Xue didn't want to see him, I'm afraid she wouldn't appear in this imperial garden at all.
He couldn't understand this at all. He really didn't know how they got along.
Between the emperor and the empress, if Xiao Xue does not take the initiative and seek peace, I am afraid they will have to be so stubborn. It may be more difficult for Zhao Che to recover than to reincarnate.
"She doesn't want to see you, so don't you want to see her?" Zi Yihou asked, and couldn't help but jokingly said, "If the humble minister is too talkative, couldn't you take the initiative to find a reconciliation with the queen? You and her about the matter in Beijun
Just explain it."
Zhao Che sneered, "Explanation? In her mind, I am a heinous person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. What's the use of explaining? She has already determined in her heart that I will kill her father and brother. There is no need for me to explain. She loves
That’s what you think.”
"Actually, we can't blame the Queen for thinking so. Have you discussed the matter in Beijun with her in detail?" Zi Yihou asked sharply, but Zhao Che couldn't say a word. He had not discussed it with Xiao Xue in detail. He only knew that
, Xiao Xue disappointed him, and he felt tired even from explaining.
That afternoon, a letter came from Beijun. Xiao Xue almost fainted when she read the letter. A letter came from her confidant, saying that Xiao Bing was secretly killed and the whereabouts of the county king was unknown. Xiao Xue only felt that her eyes were going dark. When she entered the palace, Xiao Bing had arranged for this
The confidant was by her side, just in case. Xiao Xue sent Zhao Che back to Beijun and asked him to follow Xiao Bing. This confidant followed her for seven or eight years. He was loyal and steady. His handwriting, Xiao
Snow recognizes it.
According to what he said in the letter, Xiao Bing's assassination was carried out by someone sent by the emperor, but the letter did not mention Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui. Xiao Xue only felt a chill down her spine, and the tip of her nose could not help but feel sour, "Why..."
Zhao Che said that he would not take action against Beijun unless it was absolutely necessary. Cheng Mubai also said that he would not allow the emperor to touch Xiao Bing and the county king. Could it be that it was the last resort? Is this Cheng Mubai's promise?
Xiao Xue had a splitting headache, and her heart felt like a stone was pressing down. She was so heavy that she couldn't breathe, and it became difficult to breathe. She lost the letter and ran to the Yangxin Hall like crazy. She must ask clearly, did she not want to
She had clearly misunderstood Zhao Che, and she wanted an explanation.
At that time, the Purple-clothed Marquis had just left the Yangxin Hall, and Zhao Che was preparing to review the remaining memorials. Xiao Xue ignored Li Ming's obstruction and broke into the Yangxin Hall without any notification. Zhao Che was happy in his heart, but did not care about Xiao Xue's recklessness.
However, when he saw Xiao Xue's anger, the joy in his heart slowly faded away. Xiao Xue was not here to see him. Zhao Che narrowed his eyes.
"Queen, you have been learning the rules in the palace for a year, haven't you learned it yet?" Zhao Che asked coldly.
Xiao Xue took a deep breath and knelt down straight. The contact between her knees and the floor made a dull impact sound. This sound was like a slap on Zhao Che's face, which was both angry and painful. Xiao Xue's temper was always very fierce.
He knew that she had compromised a lot just because of him. When the two had a dispute over Beijun, Xiao Xue never gave in.
Ruyi was worried, "My dear, you still have a child in your belly."
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Xue straightened her back and spoke in a calm voice.
Zhao Che snorted and asked her to stand up. Ruyi and Luzhu hurriedly helped Xiao Xue up. She knelt too quickly and her knees hurt from being hit. She couldn't stand still for a while. Ruyi held her up and let her lean on her.
Still a little unsteady on my feet, I stumbled a few steps before I regained my balance.
Zhao Che's eyes tightened, his gaze dark and locked on her face, but his face was expressionless, and he asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Xue let go of Ruyi, stood in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I received a letter from Beijun today. Did you send someone to assassinate my father and brother?"
Zhao Che's eyes sharpened and he gritted his teeth, "Xiao Xue, what are you talking about?"
"I want an explanation!" Xiao Xue looked calm, "You and I have said that if you have to attack Beijun as a last resort, you will definitely tell me. Your recent deployment of troops is to send troops to Beijun.
Really? Was it you who planned what happened to my father and brother? "
"That's enough!" Zhao Che shouted sharply, his dark eyes like a devil's, flashing with angry fire, which he suppressed deeply into the depths of his body, "Go back to your Weiyang Palace, I don't want to see you."
Xiao Xue stood coldly, with tears in her eyes, "I will not leave unless you give me an explanation. Your Majesty, please tell me that you did not send anyone to assassinate my father and brother. Please."
She was already on the verge of collapse. Zhao Che's mind was too deep and too scary for her to touch. She was afraid that he would actually make a move but she would be kept in the dark. She didn't want to confuse you or do anything to you.
Compromise on things.
As long as Zhao Che said no, she would rather believe him.
Zhao Che's expression was sinister. He couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or disappointment. He blurted out, "Yes, I sent people to assassinate Prince Beijun and Xiao Bing. Queen, after you get an explanation, can you go back to Weiyang Palace?"
Xiao Xue's last hope was shattered by Zhao Che, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with the palest color in the world, like a lamp slowly being blown out by the cold wind, leaving darkness behind.
Tears burst out of her eyes and poured down her cheeks, and she couldn't hold them back at all.
Zhao Che suddenly shouted, "Zhou Zheng, send the queen back."
Zhou Zheng had been standing outside. When he heard Zhao Che's angry voice, he felt something was wrong and hurriedly came in. Zhao Che's face was extremely ugly, and the queen also looked desperate. He had followed Zhao Che for so many years, and he had never seen Zhao Che's face so ugly.
.
Xiao Xue gritted her teeth and held back the tears in her eyes, "I would rather never know you."
Zhao Che's face tightened, and a stern look flashed across his eyes, as if a demon had crawled into his eyes. Xiao Xue turned and left. Zhao Che became furious and reached out to sweep down all the memorials, documents and books on the desk...
Xiao Xue said that she would rather never know him.
Has she been disappointed with him to this extent?
It was late at night when Zhao Che received the news of Xiao Xue's disappearance. Zhao Che had no appetite for dinner at all. All he thought about was Xiao Xue's last words and the disappointed expression on Xiao Xue's face.
If something stops me, worry, disappointment, and anger all come up together.
Furious.
Who would have thought that late at night, Luzhu and Ruyi hurriedly asked to see Xiao Xue, saying that Xiao Xue was missing. Zhao Che suddenly panicked and ran to Weiyang Palace like crazy. Xiao Xue’s things were not taken away, but his person was missing.
.
The entire Weiyang Palace was filled with a heavy and sad atmosphere. Zhao Che ordered Zhou Zheng to send people to the palace gate to check to see if anyone had left the palace today. He was waiting for news in Weiyang Palace. Zhao Che could not sit down at all. He was always worried in Weiyang Palace.
, not long after, Zhou Zheng brought news. Today, a palace maid at the North Palace Gate took the queen's token and said she was out of the palace to do business. Zhao Che gave Xiao Xue absolute freedom. Xiao Xue sometimes wanted to eat some snacks.
She felt that what the master made was too delicate and lacked flavor, so she asked the palace maids to go out to buy it. The guards at the North Palace Gate were also used to it, so they sent the palace maids out without careful interrogation, but all the palace maids from Weiyang Palace were there.
Zhao Che also understood in his heart that Xiao Xue had left the palace.
she left.
Zhao Che's hands and feet were cold, and anger and panic surged together. Has he lost Xiao Xue?
Xiao Xue was so disappointed in him that she couldn't forgive him. She would rather leave than stay. He broke her heart and lost her?
Ruyi knelt down with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you must find the Queen. The weather is so cold and the Queen is not familiar with the capital. She is more than two months pregnant. It will be difficult to be in Beijun at this time..."
"What did you say?" Zhao Che suddenly grasped Ruyi's arm with such strength that he almost broke it, and his eyes were almost fierce, "What did you just say?"
"The queen is two months pregnant." Ruyi said truthfully. She could no longer hide it at this time. If something happened, no one would be able to bear the responsibility. No one expected that Xiao Xue was so stubborn and would leave the capital in a rage.
, Ruyi and Luzhu both thought that Xiao Xue loved Zhao Che so much that even if Zhao Che was cruel for a moment, Xiao Xue would not leave the capital. Luzhu cried with tears on the side, and Xiao Xue left the palace without anyone.
Zhao Che suddenly turned around and ran out of Weiyang Palace. After a while, he ran out of the palace on horseback with a sinister and crazy expression. Zhou Zheng and a group of guards were chasing after him on horseback, but Zhao Che disappeared after a while.
The thousand-mile horse Zhao Che rode was faster, and Zhou Zheng and others simply couldn't catch up.
Zhao Che was so anxious that he galloped all the way. The night wind was biting, blowing on his face, like a knife scraping across his skin. The pain was excruciating. His eyes were almost unable to open due to the strong wind, and he could only gallop...
He only had one thought in his mind, if he wanted to find Xiao Xue, he must find Xiao Xue.
His Xue'er was pregnant and had their child.
Unparalleled joy surged up, and Zhao Che wanted to sing happily. At this time, all the knots and misunderstandings disappeared. He only knew that nothing could happen to Xiao Xue, and he wanted to bring his queen and child back.
He anxiously searched every street in the capital, even if there was no one on the street. Now it was almost midnight, the streets were quiet and there was no one at all. Zhao Che ran across the main avenue on horseback and arrived at the city gate.
The city gate was closed. Zhao Che showed his token. The officers and soldiers at the city gate knelt down in fear. Zhao Che ignored the shock behind him and rode out of the capital.
Xiao Xue must have returned to Beijun.
He shouldn't be angry, and he shouldn't let Xiao Xue down with his unscrupulous words. Otherwise, she wouldn't leave. Zhao Che secretly hated himself for being reckless. Xiao Xue suspected that it was reasonable for him to attack Beijun Wang and Xiao Bing. His temper was indeed
Likewise, there was no room for any betrayal. She just asked, why was he disappointed? Why was he angry? Why did he hurt her with his unscrupulous words? Zhao Che felt heartbroken.
Xueer, wait for me, wait for me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.
I'll accompany you back to Beijun.
I'll accompany you back to Beijun.
I just hope that nothing will happen to her. Xiao Xue has always been afraid of the dark and the cold. She is so stubborn. After leaving the capital, she will definitely return to Beijun non-stop. This road is rugged, so be sure nothing happens to her.
When he thought about what accidents Xiao Xue encountered along the way, Zhao Che felt as if someone had choked him and couldn't breathe. He couldn't imagine what he would be like without Xiao Xue, and he couldn't accept the slightest trace of what happened to Xiao Xue.
possibility.
Zhao Che's horse galloped along the official road, ignoring the cold wind.
For the first time, he realized that there was a person who was more important than his family, country, and world.
Zhao Che ran wildly on the official road for more than two hours. He knew that he was looking blindly, but he could not wait quietly for the news. He finally settled in a small town. There was an inn that had not turned off the lights. Zhao Che rushed
Entering the inn, the waiter was drowsy nearby and was woken up by Zhao Che. He asked him blankly if he wanted to stay. Zhao Che compared Xiao Xue's height and appearance to him and asked him if he had seen him before.
When the waiter saw that he was not a guest who wanted to stay, he said he hadn't seen him before and continued to sleep. Zhao Che's sword was placed coldly on his neck and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you seen him before?"
The waiter was startled, but he seemed to be more energetic this time. He hurriedly waved his hand, "I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it."
Zhao Che let him go angrily. There was only one inn in this small town. If Xiao Xue hadn't stayed there, where would she have gone?
She has money with her and will definitely stay there.
Could it be that you haven’t arrived in this town yet?
It was almost dawn, and Zhao Che was anxious and panicked, and had no clue for a while.
Xueer, where are you?
Zhao Che searched all night until dawn, but could not find Xiao Xue. Zhou Zheng found him in a small town, because Zhao Che suddenly thought that Xiao Xue had no time to walk such a long way except the capital.
She must not have arrived in the town yet. He had just returned to the town on horseback, and Zhou Zheng and his people also came.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have sent people to seal off the entire city gate for investigation. The Queen is pregnant and will leave the palace late. She will definitely not rush off. She has to prepare dry food and a carriage. She will not leave the capital so quickly. You still
Go back with your subordinates, the queen will definitely still be in the capital."
Zhao Che was too panicked last night and kept riding his horse along the road in Beijun to search for him. He only thought of Xiao Xue returning to Beijun and avoiding him. He didn't expect that Xiao Xue had a child and would not be able to travel so hard for such a long time.
So, caring leads to chaos.
Several people rode back to the capital. It was already dawn, and the city gates had been closed. People entering and leaving the city were being interrogated one by one. Zhao Che was afraid that someone would slip through the net, so he issued a very perverted order that no woman was allowed to leave the city.
Today only men are allowed to leave the capital. This order caused an uproar. The Marquis of Ziyi also received the news and rushed to the city gate. He couldn't help but touch his nose. Your Majesty, you are the stronger one. In all these years in the Southern Kingdom, I'm afraid there has never been a case where women are not allowed to leave.
A precedent for leaving the city.
Zhao Che set another precedent. The queen was missing, so the palace kept secrets. Zhao Che said he was ill and did not go to court early today. The Marquis in Purple Yi was worried that Li Ming would come to ask, so he found out that something big happened in the palace last night. Zhao Che ordered people to block the news, but
Zi Yihou was not an outsider, so Li Ming did not hide anything from him.
There was a commotion at the city gate. Men could leave the city, but women could not. This order was indeed a bit perverted, and the official could not give an explanation.
Marquis Ziyi said, "Your Majesty, you might as well withdraw this order. Maybe you can stop the Queen when she leaves the city. Once you come, the Queen will not dare to approach the city gate."
Zhao Che said in a deep voice, "I would rather lock her up in the city than live in the city."
If he stayed in the city, he would find Xiao Xue even if he dug three feet in the ground. After leaving the capital, anything was possible, and he couldn't afford to gamble. Besides, Xiao Xue now had a child, so he had to be more cautious.
Zhao Che and Zi Yihou were observing the men and women queuing up in the distance to leave the city. Suddenly, a boy brought a letter and handed it to Zhao Che, "Uncle, there is your letter."
Zhao Che squinted his eyes, and when he opened the letter in the child's hand, his expression changed drastically, "Who gave it to you?"
The child turned his head, pointed in a direction in the distance, and said doubtfully, "That brother was here just now..."
Xiao Xue felt dizzy and uncomfortable. When she woke up, she was in a firewood shed. She had not yet passed the drug, and her head felt heavy. She was obviously staying in an inn, but she didn't expect to be knocked out by a burst of smoke in the middle of the night. She was intoxicated.
In a daze, I only felt bumpy and drowsy, and I completely passed out. When I woke up, I was already in the woodshed. It was already dawn. Xiao Xue had traveled all over the country. This was the second time he was kidnapped. The first time was that he was kidnapped.
She went up the mountain to Mrs. Yazhai. She was still young at that time. Later, she became more cautious when traveling around and never got kidnapped again. She attributed her kidnapping to being too sad last night. When she thought of leaving the capital and returning to Beijun, she was worried about her stomach.
Only if the child is absent-minded will he accidentally fall into the trap.
Who tied her up?
Xiao Xue didn't know. Now he was thinking about how to leave. Looking out from the woodshed, the yard was quiet. Xiao Xue squinted his eyes. This was a small courtyard that looked very shabby. The surroundings were quiet.
It is her habit to wear hairpins. Even in the palace, she has a small hairpin on her head, suitable for opening hundreds of locks. This door is too shabby, and the lock is an old lock, and there is a gap when it is opened.
.
Xiao Xue opened the door softly and locked the door lock. The courtyard was very quiet. Maybe the person who tied her didn't expect that the queen had been traveling around the world for many years, so such a door lock was nothing to her.
She hid at the door and found several people gathering at the door talking. She immediately turned around.
Climb the wall.
Xiao Xue was lucky. Although she was worried about the child in her belly, it was her style to just sit and wait for death and not say anything. She was lucky enough to climb the tree and cross the wall, landing firmly on the ground.
Running wildly...
Xiao Xue was also unlucky. She didn't expect that she met a man in black as soon as she turned the corner. The man in black was obviously stunned when he saw her. Xiao Xue immediately sensed the danger and turned around to run away. The man in black shouted
While chasing, this was not far from the courtyard, so the men in black in the courtyard were alarmed. Five or six people were chasing after Xiao Xue...
She cannot be taken back, otherwise the child may not be saved.
Xiao Xue ran towards the downtown area as much as possible, but she couldn't outrun four young and strong men in black. Within a quarter of an hour, she was surrounded by them. Xiao Xue tried her best to calm down, and five or six people surrounded her.
.
"Who are you?" Xiao Xue asked in a deep voice, "Why are you arresting me?"
The man in black was not going to talk nonsense with Xiao Xue. He waved everyone around and grabbed Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue couldn't help but struggled and shouted for help. One of them was about to chop down with a knife when he suddenly heard a sharp sound.
Drink, "Let her go."
The tone was as cold as ice, and the cold air was frosted by this sharp shout. The familiar tone made Xiao Xue couldn't help but raise her head, with red eyes, it turned out to be Zhao Che... How did he find her?
Zhao Che's eyes were locked tightly on Xiao Xue. After a bumpy night, Xiao Xue's expression looked paler and uglier, showing a bit of frailty. Zhao Che's eyes tightened, dark and calm, suppressing the distress in his heart.
One of them quickly pulled out a dagger and put it against Xiao Xue's neck. Zhao Che tightened his fist and said, "Let her go. Whatever you want, I will grant you."
One of them smiled coldly, "Your Majesty said it simply, if you were asked to give up withdrawing the county, would you also give up?"
Xiao Xue's eyes widened, withdrawing from the county? Are these people from the four counties?
Zhao Che was silent, and Xiao Xue couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could Zhao Che agree, "You are from Dongjun?"
"We are from Beijun, so we didn't harm the princess."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Xue couldn't help but retort, "My brother would not send someone to kidnap me, let alone lock me up overnight."
The man pressed the dagger deeply against Xiao Xue's neck. The sharp dagger cut a bloody mark on the white and tender neck. "The Queen had better not speak."
The blood dyed the dagger red, and Zhao Che said hurriedly and angrily, "Stop, don't hurt her."
The man smiled sarcastically, "I didn't expect that the emperor is still infatuated. It seems that we have got the right bargaining chip. Your Majesty, if you give up the withdrawal of the county, Jun Wuxi said, we will definitely not harm the queen."
Xiao Xue couldn't stand being held hostage like this, nor could she bear to hear Zhao Che's answer. She suddenly bent her knees and gave her a hard slap. The man holding her was bent over in pain. Zhao Che saw the opportunity and rushed up to solve the two problems in an instant.
The shocked man in black. The shadow guards around him who had been hiding for a long time also flew down, and things immediately became easier. The man in black became angry after being in pain. Seeing that he would not be able to survive today, he kept doing nothing and daggers.
Plunging deeply into Xiao Xue's lower abdomen...
"Xue'er!" Zhao Che shouted in horror. Xiao Xue was exhausted and couldn't escape. He only felt like a blur in front of his eyes. He was already held in a warm embrace. Zhao Che held the thorn with all his strength and aimed at Xiao Xue.
With his dagger, he kicked the man in black away. Two shadow guards stepped forward and put their swords on his neck.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Xue looked down at his hand. Zhao Che still grabbed the dagger, but he couldn't let go because it was too hard. He could only keep this action because the momentum was too great, and he almost sacrificed one of his hands.
Protected Xiao Xue and the child.
The blood dyed Xiao Xue's feet red, drop by drop, splashing out countless red mist...
"You..." Xiao Xue looked at him with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe that Zhao Che would protect her in such a way. To say she wasn't touched would be a lie. If he hadn't held the dagger, she and the child would have died.
All dignity, pride, and face have been thrown out of the window by Zhao Che. He has spent too much time restraining himself in his life. He has always restrained himself. It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this. He has forgotten that he can do whatever he wants and follow his own heart.
What time is it.
He clasped the back of Xiao Xue's head with one hand and kissed her red lips desperately...
Passionate, eager, and overbearingly possessive, this is his queen, the person he loves most.
The shadow guards around them looked at each other in embarrassment, not knowing where to look. They had followed the emperor for many years, and they had never seen him lose his temper like this, and even kissed his queen in front of everyone.
This is definitely the first time for such a shock.
Zi Yihou, who came with people later, coughed twice and seemed unable to remind the two people who were kissing. Zhao Che was still holding the dagger in one hand and was still bleeding, but the other hand was holding Xiao Xue so passionately and kissing her.
The bright colors, which represent life, seem to bear witness to their beauty.
Xiao Xue's lips were red and swollen from his kiss. She wanted to push him away, but she was afraid of hurting him. Knowing that Xiao Xue was about to be unable to breathe, Zhao Che let her go. Xiao Xue was so embarrassed that her face was so red that she almost bled.
.
Zhao Che touched the tip of her nose affectionately. Regardless of everyone present, he only had Xiao Xue in his eyes, "Xue'er, don't leave me, please."
"Your Majesty, please see the imperial doctor quickly. Don't..." Xiao Xue did not dare to touch his hand. The hand holding the dagger was still bleeding. It looked so terrible. Xiao Xue burst into tears and regretted it endlessly.
"Don't worry about it. You promise me first not to leave me. I will give you a satisfactory answer about Beijun's matter." Zhao Che said.
Xiao Xue gritted her teeth, "You yesterday..."
"I'm a bastard!" Zhao Che hurriedly admitted his mistake. In order to take care of the emperor's face, Zi Yihou drove all the shadow guards and the guards away. The emperor didn't care about his face in front of the queen, but he still had to take care of his face in front of his subordinates.
.Zhao Che said, "I'm a bastard. I spoke unscrupulously yesterday. Don't take it seriously. Xue'er, I promise that I won't hurt a hair on Xiao Bing's or your father's head. Can you believe me for once? Don't leave.
…”
Xiao Xue said, "The letter said..."
"You little fool, that was Dongjun and Nanjun's trick. They probably provoked discord between you and me. They just wanted to catch you and negotiate terms with me. Even if we couldn't negotiate, they would kill you to anger Xiao Bing and then instigate and sow discord.
Bing will think that you died because of me, and in the end the four counties will unite to rebel. It's just their little trick, and only a little fool like you will take it seriously."
Xiao Xue was extremely surprised, "So, brother is okay?"
"It's okay, nothing happened at all." Zhao Che said. Xiao Xue breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes. Zhao Che hugged her distressedly, "Xue'er, can you go home with me?"
Going home?
Is the palace her home?
Xiao Xue didn't respond, and Zhao Che said, "We already have children, and you still want to leave me?"
Xiao Xue never thought about leaving Zhao Che. She just wanted to go back to Beijun. After hearing what Zhao Che said and thinking of his actions today, she struggled unwillingly and touched Zhao Che's wound. Zhao Che frowned in pain.
He kept coaxing her.
He was very clumsy and didn't know which words to make Xiao Xue unhappy. Seeing her struggle, he used all the nice words he knew to coax her, but none of them were what Xiao Xue wanted.
Xiao Xue said sadly, "It turns out you did it for the sake of the child... I don't want to go back, don't go back..."
Zhao Che blocked her mouth again, kissed her lips deeply, and swallowed all her unwillingness. After a long time, Zhao Che let her go, "Little fool, why are you so stupid? If I don't love you, I will
Why care about the child you gave me."
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Xue looked at him in disbelief. Will Zhao Che say he loves her again? Will he really say he loves her again? She waited for so long, thinking that he would never fall in love with her in this life, and suddenly said love
, this made Xiao Xue at a loss, she couldn't believe it, she was afraid that this was a sweet dream, and when she woke up, such a surprise would not exist.
Zhao Che smiled softly, his eyes full of doting, "I love you, I love you deeply, Xueer, give me time to prove it, and I promise that I will not let you suffer any more injustice."
Xiao Xue burst into tears and hugged him tightly.
Just because some love is never said doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Just because some love is not good at expressing, it does not mean that the love is not deep enough.
Happiness is just a hug when falling in love, so simple.
