MTL - Let Me Pursue You-Chapter 92 092

Shao He's eyelashes trembled twice, and he smiled quietly: "I have no worries about my life, and I have no unfulfilled wishes. I don't know how Your Highness can conclude that I need help."

"As the daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you have never received the slightest privilege that the first princess should have." Xiju stepped back a little, leaning against the wall of the car and said, "You have been a member of the royal family since you were sixteen years old." Sacrifice. Among the twin sons of the old Marquis Ningyuan, the eldest son who was supposed to inherit the title did not participate in the court battle because of his cowardice, which pleased the saint. Back then, the saint gave you as a reward to barter in order to seize the Marquis's mansion Married to him, unexpectedly his surly younger brother coveted his sister-in-law."

"A compatriot from the same mother has a world of difference from his elder brother. He has been unwilling to encounter such an opportunity for many years. This younger brother's momentary resentment did not hesitate to kill his elder brother secretly. You are newly married and widowed because of this."

"For such a family scandal, the old Ning Yuanhou, the insider, chose to keep silent, saying that the eldest son died of a sudden old illness, and he passed away with this secret not long after. But if others don't know it, you won't know it , You were very naive back then and told the truth to the saint."

"After the sage knew about it, he was very afraid of the young son who killed his brother, so he sent a few cronies to the Hou's mansion. Taking advantage of your advantage of being a widow in the Hou's family, he deliberately arranged off-site affairs to lure the first attack. The titled Marquis Ningyuan did something wrong to you, and at the critical moment, he asked people to find out and stop it in time. Afterwards, the sage took this as an excuse, made a look of anger, decreed to depose the prince, and made Marquis Ningyuan the uncle, saying that he was making decisions for you."

He smiled when he said this: "You don't know the truth at first, and I'm afraid you still feel that your father treats you very kindly."

Shaohe's expression was very calm. What Xiju said is indeed true, but these are too far away from her, so far away that they are really a shadow of her previous life, it sounds harmless, as if it is just someone else's story.

Xiju continued: "In order to appease you, the sage allowed you to move out of Bomen and live in the princess mansion as a widow. Three years later, you got the chance to remarry, but Lu Zishu refused. In fact, you can't blame him entirely for this matter. If You are the favored first-in-law princess, a mere servant, so what if I make a face for you? But in the heart of the saint, you are not as good as a servant. The saint thinks about his official career, and does not want him to be a son-in-law Self-destructive future. Therefore, his merciless refusal is actually inspired by the saint."

The smile on the corners of Shaohe's lips remained unchanged, and he still didn't speak.

"Later, Yuan Cixian and Lu Zishu's relationship gradually deepened. I went to Shangzhou to kidnap her and returned without success, but this crime fell on your head in the end, and no one has cleared up your grievances so far. Yuan Cixian, Lu Zishu, and your father, who don't know that you are definitely not the real murderer? But among them, who has stood up and said a word for you? Including this marriage with me in Nanzhao, if the partner changes Cheng Yuan Cixian, do you think that with Lu Zishu's ability, there is really no way to stop it? He chose to give up, but because you are not Yuan Cixian."

"Zheng Yun, if you don't fight, you will have nothing. They will always treat you as weak and bully, and will never give you half of their attention. It is true that until now, I am still a predator to you, but Da Zhou is stingy to give Yours, I can give it to you. If you want to be famous, I can call you the most beautiful queen in Nanzhao. If you want to devote yourself to practicing Buddhism, I can promise not to act as husband and wife with you. You want to call those who The person who sacrificed you pays the price, and I can use your power. If you can't afford it, I can fight it for you."

Shao He looked at him quietly, and after listening to it, he was silent for a while and said: "Your Highness's long speech about poking people's feet first, and then giving them sweet dates is indeed very exciting. If I am as naive as I was in Hou Men back then, I'm afraid my heart will already be moved." But what you keep saying you want to give me is not what I want. "

She laughed when she said this: "To be honest, in my opinion, you are now like a naughty boy who can't ask for sweets and jumps up and down. You are still young and have the drive to fight, but I don't have it anymore, I am already old That's enough, I've had enough, I don't want anything anymore. Since you know my secret, why don't you still think that there are still things in this world worthy of my striving and nostalgia?"

Xiju's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she burst into splendor, staring at her closely: "You really are the strange person that Sheluo said."

The smile faltered on Shaohe's face, and he continued: "Zheng Yun, I don't know your secret, how could I be sure about such an incredible thing? But now I believe it."

Her face turned pale, and she looked at him with trembling lips: "You are testing me."

This childish-sounding tirade was not intended to persuade her to cooperate with him from beginning to end, but to confirm her secret.

Xiju twitched the corner of his mouth to show his acquiescence.

Of course he was testing her. He first became interested in Shaohe when Lu Shiqing was in Shuzhou for disaster relief last year. At that time, the spies he arranged in Da Zhou found out the secret letter sent by Shao He. He was very surprised when he heard the news.

After negotiating with Lu Shiqing at the Shangzhou post station, he was convinced that this person must be a strong enemy in the future, so he was planning an assassination in his heart, preparing to cooperate with King Ping again, and get rid of him quickly. But this news, which he didn't even have time to say, leaked to Shaohe's ears.

Although he found it strange at first, it was considered a coincidence, but he couldn't help but keep an eye on it, and arranged a maid to sneak into the princess' mansion to investigate Shaohe's daily life and people, to see where she got it from. information.

But for several months, he found nothing, and even found out that the princess devoted herself to practicing Buddhism and didn't care about political affairs at all.

It wasn't until the war broke out that he heard about Yuan Cixian's visit to fetch the jade ring, and Shaohe had been waiting in the mansion as expected.

Except for the Yuan family and Emperor Huining, no third party knew about the source of that uncut jade, and even Lu Shiqing found out after the fact. Since it is impossible for Shaohe to understand the cause and effect, how can there be any reason to predict Yuan Cixian's coming intention early?

After this incident, suspicions abounded in Xiju's heart, and she started to investigate Shaohe seriously, so she learned a lot of strange things about her. For example, her temperament changed drastically after she accidentally fell into the water the year before last.

Full of doubts and puzzles, he took the information to Sheluo, a highly respected priest in Nanzhao, and heard the rumors about "foreigners" for the first time. Sheluo told him that if this person can be brought into his hands, he will ascend to the throne of God and even conquer Dazhou in just around the corner.

At that time, he still couldn't fully believe in such a miraculous thing, so he went to Dazhou with a half-belief and half-doubt mentality. Since then, he has been repeatedly probing and proving until that moment.

Shao He's face was bloodless, and he figured out the whole story almost immediately.

It turned out it wasn't Yuan Cixian. It wasn't Yuan Cixian who caused her tragedy in order to change her life. Xiju was caused by herself. It was herself who made her step by step to where she is today.

There was a miserable smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked up at the man opposite her.

Xiju smiled at her, and said with great interest: "It's okay if you don't want to say it now, I still have patience for the time being."

Seeing this, Shaohe quickly regained his composure, shook his head and sighed: "Have you ever heard of a Chinese word called 'yin er yang wrong'?" But I can't resist God's will. As you can imagine, I am indeed not an ordinary person, but you don't have to wait, and you don't have to rack your brains to find a way to pry my mouth, because I don't know anything about what you want to know."

Xiju narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her without speaking.

Shaohe continued to say calmly: "As you said, I was very naive back then. I was cut off and became a nun shortly after Lu Shilang bluntly rejected me, and entered Chang'an Wangji Temple. Afterwards, because of my research, I stopped caring about the secular world and left Dunhuang. I devoted myself to worshiping the Buddha, and never returned to the capital until my death. What happened to the Great Zhou Dynasty, what happened to Nanzhao, and what happened to Tubo and Pyu Kingdom. I am in the vast Gobi, how would I know? If I really know so much, how can I let myself fall into poverty in this life? To enter such a situation?"

The smile on Xiju's face gradually narrowed.

As she spoke, she reached out and took the pen and paper from the cases in front of her, and said while drawing: "There are many rare murals in the Thousand Buddha Caves in the Hexi Corridor, and I can draw every one of them silently. You can send someone to check it out, or you can go to Chang'an to inquire carefully to see if I have been to Dunhuang in my life."

After Shaohe finished speaking, it seemed that he was very sad and happy under the continuous stimulation, but he smiled with some relief: "But no matter what, I am already the princess of Nanzhao. It is probably too late for you to regret it now."

The next day, the marriage team arrived at Nanzhao Imperial City, and Prince Xiju married Shaohe into the East Palace as a princess. More than a month passed, and in the late June of Ji Xia, good news came from the Nanzhao Palace that the Crown Princess was happy.

When the news reached Chang'an, Emperor Huining, who was talking with Lu Shiqing, was overjoyed.

Lu Shiqing knew what the old emperor was happy about. When Xiju was asking to marry Shaohe, he had written a letter as proof, saying that as long as he successfully ascended the throne, he would send his eldest son to Chang'an and volunteered as a hostage for three years.

Now, seeing that the eldest son is showing signs of becoming, he is indeed the heir of Shaohe and the blood of Da Zhou.

He said a few words of congratulations to the old emperor indifferently, and continued to accompany him while flipping through the official documents in his hand. Beside Emperor Huining, he leaned over and whispered a few words.

Emperor Huining raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked in a low voice: "Is there really such a coincidence?"

The **** bent back and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is truly a double blessing."

Lu Shiqing didn't pay much attention to the rustling of the two of them, and calmly picked up a pen to draw circles on the official document, when suddenly he heard the old emperor call him: "Zi Shu."

He raised his head and responded, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Your family servant came and asked when you would return home, saying that Cixian is happy."

There was a crisp sound of "pop" in the spacious Zichen Palace.

The official document in Lu Shiqing's hand fell to the ground.

Counseling: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm so excited...

Director Gu: This person is going to be a father, can you be more careful!
