Xiao Zhenting and Master Xiao Wu met in the military camp. At that time, Master Xiao Wu was just an inconspicuous soldier under Xiao Zhenting, but gold was always bright. Master Xiao Wu's talents gradually gained the attention of Master Xiao Zhenting. Once, when he was exterminated the rebels, Master Xiao Wu raided the rebels' food and grass with only five brothers. The rebels without the food and grass were in chaos and were defeated. In terms of martial arts, Master Xiao Wu was not the best, and his troops were not very outstanding. However, Master Xiao Wu had a pair of eyes that were as if they were watching the fire. He almost sneezed the enemy. Master Xiao Wu could guess what flag they would take next.

Thanks to the general Xiao Wuye, he took fewer detours on the road to pacifying the rebels, which not only meant a lot of military achievements, but also meant that the bloodshed and sacrifices of the soldiers could be reduced.

The two of them have the same surname as Xiao. They were a family five hundred years ago. They accidentally drank. Xiao Zhenting learned that the other party was born on the same day as him, so he immediately made a decision to worship him.

Master Xiao Wu is several years younger than Xiao Zhenting, and is much shorter in his identity. He can become his sworn brother. To be honest, Master Xiao Wu was confused. After being confused, he became loyal to Xiao Zhentingyue.

On the day the Xiao family army was disbanded, Mr. Xiao Wu witnessed this strong man crying as a child on the mountain bag in the camp.

There are always many things in this world that cannot be controlled by one's own strength, such as the disbandment of the Xiao family army, and the fact that Xiao Wuye's sister entered the palace.

Mr. Xiao Wu's sister was old enough to be married, but she was arrogant and always looked down on the men outside. But she could reject everyone, but she could not refuse the emperor. If Xiao Zhenting was willing to accept her marriage, she would naturally not have to enter the palace to show up.

During the talent show, Wan Zhaoyi dressed herself up very ugly, but the emperor had the intention to win over Mr. Xiao Wu and pointed her into the harem regardless of his ugly behavior. The emperor also had something that could not do, that was Mr. Xiao Wu's loyalty to Xiao Zhenting.

The road is already done, and Wan Zhaoyi can no longer be sent back.

If Wan Zhaoyi wants to survive in the cannibalistic harem, she must be favored by the emperor.

Shangguan Yan has always understood some things, but she has never said them. Not long after she passed by, Mrs. Xiao couldn't get along with her openly and secretly, and when she was extremely angry, she would stab her with old things. For example, if you hadn't seduced your second brother, how could the second brother marry a widow as a daughter-in-law? How great is Linlang? She is a big daughter, and the Xiao family has long regarded her as the second wife!

Xiao Linlang, Wan Zhaoyi's boudoir name.

Mrs. Xiao angered her with such words more than once, but she didn't take it to heart at all. One reason was that she married Xiao Zhenting to repay her kindness and also to the medicine in the forbidden area of ​​the Xiao family. As for who Xiao Zhenting was in his heart and who he almost married, she didn't care very much.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao couldn't stimulate her, she was too lazy to say this again, and gradually she forgot about it.

I suddenly saw that scene today, and to be honest, she was completely stupid.

"Yan'er, don't leave anymore. It's raining heavily. Listen to me!" Xiao Zhenting took off his outer robe and covered her head, and dripped himself 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. She didn't understand what she was angry about, but she was not a little girl anymore and could not be so arrogant.

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

"I don't!" Xiao Zhenting vowed to the sky!

Shangguan Yan actually saw it. Wan Zhaoyi rushed towards him, and he immediately pushed the person away, but she just wanted to hear it in person.

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

"She and the envoy got separated. I was so worried about you when I escorted her back to the temple, so I brought her to find you. But it rained halfway, and she fell and sprained her foot. It happened that there was a hut nearby, so I helped her to hide from the rain." Xiao Zhenting explained everything in detail.

Shangguan Yan originally wanted to say, "You still support her?" What kind of woman is there to help her? Maybe she fell down on purpose!"

But how could this be said at her age?

"I really don't know she will do this!" Xiao Zhenting said solemnly.

"I don't know if you are fake." Shangguan Yanyi was uneasy. Although he repeatedly warned himself to be rational, there was an uncontrollable voice in his mind, "Do you know what happened to you two of you in the first place?"

"That's because my mother insisted on doing it, and I didn't agree!"

"What about her feelings for you?"

Xiao Zhenting sighed: "I can't just give her something because she has me in her heart. Besides, Xiao Wu and I are sworn brothers. Since I learned that my mother was trying to match our marriage, I moved out of the Xiao Mansion until I got you back."

Mrs. Xiao was really satisfied with Xiao Linlang and wanted to let Xiao Zhenting and her be in the same bridal chamber. Xiao Zhenting expressed his feelings from the beginning - he already had a lover, and he would not marry him in this life.

The lady at first didn't know that his sweetheart was Shangguan Yan. She thought that although Xiao Linlang was good, if her son disagreed, she would not intend to make a mortal enemy with her son. Later, she knew that the woman her son was going to marry was actually a widow with a small burden, and the lady almost couldn't die of anger.

Now the lady of the Tai family quit and took Xiao Linlang into the mansion on the grounds that she was seriously ill. The lady of the Tai family was willing to create a chance for them to get along, but Xiao Zhenting moved into the military camp without saying a word.

If Xiao Zhenting didn't know what Wan Zhaoyi thought about him, it was a lie; but that happened more than ten years ago. How could 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 and looked at her incredibly: "Yan'er, do you think I'm good?"

Shangguan Yan turned her body and pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Is this time now? You provoke the emperor's woman, wait for the emperor to kill you nine clans!"

Xiao Zhenting said seriously: "One person does things and one person does it. Don't worry, if you really make trouble, I have a way to protect you."

Shangguan Yan turned around, stared at him, and asked in disgust: "Didn't you ever think about protecting yourself?"

"I..." Xiao Zhenting made her stunned.

Shangguan Yan said furiously: "Can you just let such a woman drag you into the water?"

He is a big boss, not as considerate and meticulous as the King of Yan, nor does he understand women's thoughts very well. But at this moment, his elm-wood lump suddenly opened, and his eyes were shiny and asked, "Yan'er, are you... jealous?"

He knew that she married him 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 one day and would no longer treat Yan Jiuchao.

Her marriage was a must-have, and she actually looked down on him.

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

Shangguan Yan's eye feathers trembled: "The rain is getting light!"

He pushed him away and headed towards the hut.

In the small wooden house, the Ninth Princess was already asleep in Fuling's arms, and the conversation between Yu Wan and Wan Zhaoyi continued.

Yu Wan said lightly: "Whether you admit it or not, in short, you have known the best in your heart whether you have done it. I am not here to force you to confess. I just have two questions to ask you. If you answer honestly, I will not kill you."

Wan Zhaoyi sarcastically said, "It's like you can kill me."

"Do you want to try it?" Yu Wan pinched a piece of jujube leaf.

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

Yu Wan nodded: "Yes, I almost forgot that your beloved man left you, and your only flesh and blood are gone. I really don't know what else in this world is worth your nostalgia? Ah, is my father one? You die, but you really never have the chance to be with him again."

Wan Zhaoyi looked over coldly: "Can you even betray your father-in-law for the sake of Yan Jiuchao?"

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

Wan Zhaoyi turned her face and said, "If you have the courage, go to Your Majesty to sue me."

I don't want to say this anymore.

Yu Wan was not discouraged, and pushed open the back door of the main hall, looking at the gradually weakening rain, saying, "Actually, I can't figure out how you hooked up with the Nanzhao royal family? How come there are so many poor women in the palace, why did you choose you?"

Of course Wan Zhaoyi would not tell her the truth.

Yu Wan said again: "There is also the antidote for Thyme. If I guess correctly, after you poisoned Yan Jiuchao, Yan Jiuchao has not been poisoned. The Nanzhao royal family thought you had made a mistake and never contacted you again."

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 can't understand why you must attack Yan Jiuchao. Even if he dies, Shangguan Yan can't survive. But you have already become a concubine in the palace, and you will never be able to marry Xiao Zhenting again in this life. Don't say you can pretend to die and leave the palace. I think even if you have a brand new identity, Xiao Zhenting will not accept you. Everything about you is in vain. You are simply stupid."

"What do you know?" Wan Zhaoyi roared.

The Ninth Princess in her sleep shook, opened her eyes and looked at Fuling, closed her eyes and fell asleep deeply.

"I don't understand? Do you understand? You are just a selfish and extremely stupid woman! You have done everything in your mind, but in the end you are still trapped in this deep palace!"

"Do you think I'm for myself?! Do you think Princess Yan is so easy to marry! Do you really think that bowl of Juezi soup is for Shangguan Yan to drink?!"

Clang!

The door was hit.

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

When Xiao Zhenting heard the second sentence, he realized something was wrong, but it was too late to block Xiao Linlang's mouth.

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

"Ha, I know!" Wan Zhaoyi looked at Shangguan Yan, then at Xiao Zhenting, and immediately burst into tears, "You have kept it from her for so many years, and are you planning to keep it until you die?"

"Stop talking!" Xiao Zhenting shouted.

Wan Zhaoyi smiled wildly: "I insist on saying it!"

She turned her head and looked at Yu Wan, "When Xiao Zhenting asked His Majesty to marry Shangguan Yan, His Majesty gave him a bowl of supreme soup, asking him to choose whether he drank it himself or Shangguan Yan. In fact, no matter who drank it, it would be the same. As long as Xiao Zhenting had no son, everything in the Xiao family would eventually fall into the hands of Yan Jiuchao, and it would fall back into the hands of the Great Zhou royal family. A worthless Princess Yan exchanged for everything in the Marshal Xiao's mansion, no matter how you look at it, it would be a good deal."

She said, looking at Xiao Zhenting with tears in her eyes, "It's just that this man is stupid. He has to drink that bowl of sashimi medicine himself..."

She looked at Yu Wan again: "You ask me why I did this? I was lying on Your Majesty's dragon couch at that time. I heard what Your Majesty and Eunuch Wang were going to do! Can I watch him die?!"

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

Wan Zhaoyi laughed crazy: "I have...of course I have! I still look forward to marrying him after escaping from the palace... and spreading his branches and leaves for him... Is it wrong for me to think so?"

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

A hint of regret appeared on Wan Zhaoyi's face.

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

Wan Zhaoyi's hand was inserted into her head: "No, it's not like this...I don't...I don't..."
