Chapter 020 Su Xiang
Horrifying despair and fear suddenly filled Concubine Rou's internal organs, blood, and bones. "How dare you..."
"Why would I be afraid of that? If you know what's best for you, just stay in your proper place! If you can please me after a year, I will continue to give you the antidote. Of course, if you want to find the antidote yourself... just give it a try!"
Without even looking at Concubine Rou again, Su Qingqing walked away.
The sunlight was dazzling outside the palace. Su Heng stood at the door of Concubine Rou's bedroom with a serious face, waiting for her.
"Su Qingqing, wait for me to pick you up!" Su Heng said solemnly with a stern face.
Su Qingqing smiled and pinched his cheek, "Calling me sister is disrespectful!"
This time, Su Heng did not knock Su Qingqing's hand away. As if he was craving for the warmth of Su Qingqing's fingertips for the last time, he took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, you just stay alive and wait for me to pick you up!"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "I see, you are a smart housekeeper!"
When the auspicious time arrived, the marriage team set off straight for the State of Yan.
The emperor and the empress stood side by side on the gate tower of the city wall, looking at the team that was gradually disappearing, and the emperor burst into tears.
"Old General, you personally placed Qingqing in my arms back then, and I promised you that I would let her live the rest of her life in peace... It was I who failed to protect her! I failed to protect your only flesh and blood!"
The emperor's excessive grief caused his mood to fluctuate greatly. He murmured something in a low voice, but before he finished speaking, a fishy and sweet taste rushed into his throat.
The emperor loosened his clenched fist slightly, wiped the scarlet blood from the corner of his mouth, tightened his fingers, and punched the battlement of the city wall.
"Your spirit in heaven must protect my dearest son and make sure he is safe and sound!"
Wow!
A mouthful of thick blood spurted out.
The queen was so shocked that she hurried to help him up, "Your Majesty!"
The emperor supported the city wall with one hand and waved his other hand weakly, "Half of Zhao State was conquered by the old general, and his only daughter... is now going to marry a foreign prince! How can I face him? How can I face him! I can't even protect my own child!"
There were many princesses of marriageable age, but no matter who went to marry, the emperor was unwilling to let Su Qingqing go.
The reason is simple, just because of the promise made that year.
However, even though the king kept his promise, he was ultimately unable to fulfill it.
Su Qingqing naturally knew nothing about what was happening here.
The carriage rumbled forward and drove out of the city, but Jixiang was still unable to recover from the shock and couldn't accept it.
She had only slept for one night, and already... everything had turned upside down?
Blinking her eyes, Jixiang looked at her prince with suspicion, "Your Highness, did you do this on purpose? That night you asked me that kind of question, and I always felt something was wrong."
Su Qingqing chuckled and reached out to pinch Jixiang's chubby little face.
In the past, she was always around rough men, but now when facing Jixiang and Su Heng, she always couldn't help but want to pinch their faces.
"So smart?"
auspicious:!
Sou's eyes widened in shock, "Did you really do this on purpose?"
Su Qingqing nodded, "Well, are you happy?"
Two words suddenly came to Jixiang's mind.
One is a swear word, and the other is also a swear word.
Pursing his lips, Jixiang asked in confusion: "Why? Your Highness, isn't it nice for us to be so arrogant and enjoy a good life in Zhao Kingdom? Why should we go to Dayan Kingdom and give it to others, give it to others..."
Jixiang wanted to know, why should I go to the Kingdom of Dayan to be someone's grandson?
But it seemed inappropriate for a little maid like her to say this.
But after a pause, he couldn't think of a more appropriate way to say it, so he just stayed there and stared at Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "We have been eating the spicy food of Zhao Guoxiang for more than ten years. Are you tired of it? Wouldn't it be better if I take you to change your taste?"
Jixiang looked at Su Qingqing with an expression that said, "Do you think I will believe you?" At this point, it was useless for her to say anything. After a moment, she sighed, "Anyway, no matter what you say, no matter where I am, I will always be loyal to Your Highness."
She is just a little maid. She has to serve her master wherever she goes. All she has to do is be loyal!
The journey from Zhao State to Dayan State was long and there was nothing to do along the way, so Su Qingqing taught Jixiang the official language of Dayan State's capital.
At first, Jixiang was shocked and asked Su Qingqing how she could speak the official language of the Great Yan Kingdom. After being fooled by Su Qingqing twice, the little maid finally learned it.
Why are you asking so many questions!
Just learn it!
What bad intentions could the princess have?
Jixiang was smart and hardworking. By the time the carriage was about to arrive at the capital of the Great Yan State, she had already learned most of what she had learned.
It sounds a bit incoherent, but I can understand it.
In the evening of that day, when the orange glow of the setting sun filled the sky, the huge team finally arrived at the western suburbs of the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom.
From a distance, Su Qingqing saw the soldiers who came to greet the team riding their horses at full speed. Her mood, which had been calm along the way, suddenly became turbulent as the yellow dust rolled in front of her.
At this moment, she truly realized that she, Su Qingqing, was back!
However, when the team of soldiers approached and saw the leader, Su Qingqing felt that every part of her body was shaking at that moment.
Su Xiang.
Her half-brother.
How could that be!
Su Xiang was notoriously uneducated and unruly, and he was a frequent visitor to brothels and gambling houses, but why was he wearing soldier's clothes? These clothes should be the clothes of the commander of the Xishan camp.
He is the main general, but what about the original main general?
Su Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the carriage had come to an abrupt stop.
Su Xiang dismounted from his horse a hundred meters away, trotted forward, and knelt on one knee in front of Rongque's sedan chair. "I, Su Xiang, have been ordered to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the capital."
There was not much submissiveness in his expression.
Rong Que said something in the sedan chair, and Su Xiang replied, "I have been ordered to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Rongyang back to the Crown Prince's Mansion."
Go back to the Prince’s Mansion directly?
Jixiang looked at Su Qingqing with some doubt, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, according to etiquette, shouldn't we go to the palace to pay our respects first?"
There was a sneer in Su Qingqing's eyes.
Although Rong Que was the crown prince, his mother was the deceased Empress Zhang.
The current queen is the mother of the Second Prince, the younger sister of the Duke of Yan, Queen Qin.
I'm afraid that Queen Qin intends to embarrass Rong Que.
Su Qingqing looked at Su Xiang calmly.
After reporting everything that needed to be reported, Su Xiang stood up, turned around and rode his horse with a slightly arrogant look, and was helped up by a young soldier beside him.
Oh!
A grown man who can't even mount a horse properly is wearing a general's clothes!
This is really...
Su Qingqing clenched her fist and was about to look away when Su Xiang happened to turn around and look at her.
The curtain of the carriage was open a little, allowing him to see the person inside.
Rumor has it that the princess of Zhao State, Su Qingqing, is beautiful but a complete fool.
Su Xiang didn't know whether he was a fool or not, but at just a glance, he felt half of his body go limp on the horse's back.
Even though he had seen all kinds of beauties, this was the first time he had encountered someone so stunning.
Xiang Zheng was riding on the horse, looking at Su Xiang's dazed eyes , and smiled with satisfaction.
From now on, there will be fun to watch.
