Guizhou Xuanwei Si Yamen, Xuanwei Envoy Official House.
Longzan Anuo was reporting the contents of his conversation with the King of Chu to Mrs. Shexiang, and the petite and lovely Mrs. Liu was also there.
The two ladies listened intently to Old Bimo's words, and looked at each other again. Then Mrs. Shexiang asked Longzan Anuo: "Old Bimo, do you think His Royal Highness the King of Chu really wants to help us, or does he have ulterior motives?"
"Back to Naiye, in my opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Chu really wants to help." Longzan Anuo touched his bare chin and said: "The things are obvious. If we don't elect Ju Mu, there is nothing we can do.
To help the imperial court accumulate food, even if we choose the unreliable Ju Mu, we will not be able to do it either."
"The imperial court's attack on Yunnan is already imminent. We can't delay it any longer, otherwise the emperor will not send a dignified prince to a small place like ours." Old Bimo then analyzed:
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has come with a heavy responsibility. He has no intention of causing trouble. He must be able to solve the problem as soon as possible. So Noye should be able to cooperate with him with confidence."
"Your Highness, King Chu, why..." Mrs. Shexiang couldn't help but blushed and said, "Why did you choose me?"
"It's easy to understand." Longzan Anuo said: "In the words of the King of Chu, Naiye combines various advantages and is the best candidate to be the Xuanwei envoy to Guizhou in extraordinary times. You will be this Ju Mu,
Those guys in the province killed each other."
"Then do you think I should go see him?" Shexiang asked again.
"I must go to see you. Your Highness has said so. If Naoye doesn't go, won't he completely offend the court? We can't afford the consequences." Longzan Anuo said without thinking:
"Besides, I also think that you becoming this Ju Mu is the best choice at the moment." At least that's the case for him.
"Actually, looking at the future, the only one who can lead our Shuixi and Shuidong to prosper in the Ming Dynasty is Noha. If it were those bastards, they would only lead us to a dead end." As he spoke, he stood up, held his chest and bent down:
"Noha must do her part."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Shexiang waved her hand gently and said, "Old Bimo, go down and rest first. You don't have to worry about the rest."
"Yes." Longzan Anuo bowed and left.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Liu, who had always been quiet, couldn't help but said: "Sister, I feel that King Chu has no good intentions."
"Why would sister Shuzhu think so?" Shexiang asked, holding her hand. They used to have a very good relationship, but they suddenly experienced a big change together. After sharing the same illness, they became more and more like sisters.
"Sister, I don't know. When I returned to my hometown in Huguang, I heard my brothers who were studying in Zhouxue talking about His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Mrs. Liu lowered her voice.
"What did they say?" Shexiang also asked softly.
"They said he was a murderous demon king who killed so many people in Jiangxi that the land outside Nanchang is still purple." Mrs. Liu told Shexiang what she had heard:
"They also say that he is a leader who spreads heresies, crazily suppresses Confucianism, and kills scholars. If he really succeeds, the world will be upside down and there will be no order."
"Is it so scary?" Shexiang covered her mouth in surprise.
"They also said that he..." Mrs. Liu took a look at the bright and touching luxury fragrance.
"What did you say about him?" Shexiang asked.
"They say he is... a pervert who hates women." Ms. Liu said sheepishly: "It is said that he has an affair with many famous ladies. He wants to marry several wives at once, and they all have to be his princess."
"He is going to marry him home, what kind of pervert is he?" Shexiang asked strangely: "Are your brothers prejudiced against him?"
"Let's not talk about my brothers, just talk about the song he sang last night..." Mrs. Liu sighed: "Don't you still explain the problem?"
"..." Shexiang's face turned red, she bit her lower lip and whispered: "It's really too gangster..."
"So sister, you must be careful." Mrs. Liu said with a worried face: "He dared to 'stay, stay' the first time we met. I don't even dare to think about what he might do next time.
"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense." Shexiang's ears were as red as agate and her voice was as loud as a gnat. "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is drunk and has done countless drunken things. When he wakes up, how can he like me?"
What about the widows?"
"Sister, what you say is so ignorant of yourself." Ms. Liu sighed and said, "What kind of appearance do you have that will harm the country and the people, and you don't even have a clue in your heart?"
"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. If you want to say that you are good-looking, you are much prettier than me. Besides, what is His Highness the King of Chu here for? He will not mess around." Shexiang didn't let her judge her anymore.
"He didn't sing about me..." Ms. Liu muttered in a low voice, and quickly said seriously: "Sister, you must not think like this, those high-ranking emperors, generals and ministers are also human beings. Look at the history books, they are obsessed with sex and mind.
Are there not many things to do?"
"Then I won't go?" Shexiang sighed softly: "Let those people transfer houses, whichever end they move us to?"
"That won't work, I'd rather die." Mrs. Liu immediately returned to reality and said with a sad face: "When I first married Song Lang, how did I know you would have such a custom?"
"So I have to go." Shexiang exhaled a long breath and made up her mind: "For the sake of our future and for the sake of our children, what if I sacrifice my life to feed the tiger?"
"Then I'll go first." Ms. Liu said quickly, "Maybe...he can let his sister go."
"No, I can go by myself." Shexiang shook her head and said, "Besides, I believe in my eyes, and that His Highness will not be what you think."
"Then you don't believe your ears?" Ms. Liu asked.
"..." Shexiang didn't know how to answer.
"So let's go together, so we can both take care of each other." Ms. Liu sighed softly, her eyes red and said, "Hey, sister, why are our lives so miserable?"
"Oh, there's no way." Shexiang also sighed, held Liu's hanging hair, and enlightened her: "Everything will happen to a person in this life. Besides, we have enjoyed all the blessings in the past few years.
It’s time to suffer a little.”
"That's true." Ms. Liu nodded, but she saw Shexiang herself also shed tears.
After all, she is still a young woman under twenty years old. She has suffered so many blows in a short period of time and has to face an unknown fate. She cannot bear it if she wants to be strong.
The two girls held their heads and cried, but they finally thought it through. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. They will go to see the King of Chu today.
Then they dressed up again, encouraged each other, and walked out of the official residence of the Xuanwei Envoy side by side, and walked towards the official residence where the King of Chu was staying.
At this time, the autumn wind is whining, the fallen leaves are rustling, and the sky and the earth are vast. It feels really tragic.
