In her previous life, the scumbag faked his death at the border. Deceived by others, she believed her feelings for him were profound. She committed suicide at his grave, following him to the afterl...
Chapter 706: Too obedient, but it loses its fun
When she realized who was coming, Zhuang Shihan's first reaction was to run away.
It is impossible to explain the same madman in detail.
Especially a devil like Wen Qi, who has been bloodthirsty and cruel for years, does not take human life seriously at all, and even takes pleasure in witnessing the suffering of others.
God knows, maybe he would like someone too much and do something ridiculous like draining the person's blood and making a specimen.
After all, he had told her in person that if she dared to run, he would have her limbs broken and her chained to the bed.
Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all done in that small space.
He said that maybe only in this way would she behave herself and not do anything to make him angry.
Only then did she realize that in Wen Qi's eyes, he had never regarded her as a living person, but as a toy for him to play with and abuse at will.
So she had to run.
Not only did she have to run away, but she also had to find a way to draw a clear line between herself and Wen Qi, preferably so that he would never bother her again.
Reporting to the soldiers patrolling the border town was the solution Zhuang Shihan came up with to solve the problem once and for all.
Even if the border troops could not catch him, after this incident, he would not dare to set foot in the border town again.
Wen Qi has indeed learned his lesson.
In the past two years, he has not ventured to the border town.
But she never expected that he would be so persistent and actually reach out to the border troops...
Zhuang Shihan bit her tongue and cursed herself for being so possessed by the devil and provoking this devil again for the so-called military merit.
She took a deep breath and retreated to the side of the palace gate.
Wen Qi couldn't help but chuckle at Zhuang Shihan, who was no longer as arrogant as before and looked extremely obedient with her head down.
Sure enough, even the most wild and untamed cat will sometimes retract its claws out of fear.
But he still liked her more, the way she looked when she was arrogantly threatening the Royal Guards just now, it made people happy just looking at her.
Being too obedient makes it less interesting.
Wen Qi raised the corner of his lips slightly, looked at the nearest imperial guard and said, "Send a message and tell them that I have brought the best doctors from Liang State to treat Emperor An."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuande sneered, "My Da'an's doctors are not extinct. Why would we need an outsider like him to meddle in other people's business?"
He ordered with a stern face, "Tell him to go back to the post station and rest until he is summoned."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Wait!" Dehai hurriedly called out to the young eunuch.
Meeting Emperor Xuande's displeased eyes, he lowered his voice and reminded, "Your Majesty, Princess Shihan is still waiting at the palace gate."
"She? I actually forgot about her."
Thinking that there might be some history between the two of them, he ordered in a cold voice, "Let them in, and find a few skilled fighters to follow them from a distance. I want to know what they said."
He paused, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Don't alarm them for now."
Dehai hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what to do."
*
"Did you hear it wrong? His Majesty said he wanted to see me?" Zhuang Shihan felt it was absurd when she heard what Xiao Hongzi said.
If Emperor Xuande wanted to see her, he would have done so long ago. Why would he have to wait until now?
This little eunuch, not only did he not take her benefits seriously, but he even dared to tease her.
Who gave him the courage!
Feeling the burning gaze behind her, Zhuang Shihan didn't wait for Xiao Hongzi to say anything and immediately said, "Since Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, I will not bother you any more."
After saying this, she turned and left.
He looked so impatient, as if he was afraid that something was chasing him from behind.
Not like, in her opinion that is.
Now in her eyes, Wen Qi is just a vicious dog.
If he pounced on her and bit her, he would not let her go until all her bones were chewed out.
Let her go?
These two words do not exist in his life dictionary.
Even if she died, she would only die in his hands.
Zhuang Shihan suddenly felt a chill on her back and her steps became a little unsteady.
Xiao Hongzi was too lazy to explain to her and raised his hand. Immediately, two imperial guards rushed forward and blocked her way.
Zhuang Shihan's face suddenly darkened. "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Hongzi said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty wants to see the princess, so the princess should follow me quickly, otherwise you might upset His Majesty by delaying the time.
The consequences are beyond the Princess's ability to bear."
As he spoke, he looked at Wen Qi and said with a forced smile, "Prince Liang, please come in with me. Your Majesty has something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Wen Qi nodded his chin in response.
He glanced at Zhuang Shihan, who looked unhappy, and said, "Princess Shihan, please come in."
Seeing the faint smile on his face, Zhuang Shihan felt a chill run down her spine and blurted out, "I'm not going!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongzi's face darkened, "The princess is planning to disobey the order?"
As soon as the word "disobey the order" was uttered, Zhuang Shihan's face became even uglier.
In this era where imperial power is supreme, these two words alone can easily take someone's life.
Even if Emperor Xuande didn't really kill her, once the charge was made, no one knew what price she would have to pay to clear it up.
If this continues, she will be working for the royal family for nothing all her life.
Anyway, they were in the palace, in public, so even if Wen Qi suddenly went crazy, he couldn't really do anything to her.
As for the little trouble they had back then.
He didn't have any substantial evidence in his hands, so as long as she refused to admit it, Wen Qi couldn't do anything to her.
Zhuang Shihan thought about this and said with determination, "I'll go with you to see His Majesty."
Xiao Hongzi nodded and said indifferently, "Your Highness, Princess, please."
Seeing his not-so-respectful attitude, Zhuang Shihan became furious.
What's up with this dog slave?
He turned hostile as soon as he took the things, and now he even dares to treat Wen Qi with such a lifeless attitude.
Now, everyone in Da'an, even the three-year-old children on the street, knows that Wen Qi brought envoys here to seek peace.
What? Does he think his life is too long?
Or maybe Emperor Xuande had no intention of peace talks and his current actions were just to confuse Wen Qi.
But no matter what the reason is, as a servant, he has the fate of bowing and scraping when he sees a noble!
She would wait until she met Emperor Xuande and test his current attitude before giving this dog a lesson.
Feeling a cold gaze falling on her, Zhuang Shihan didn't bother to put on airs and hurriedly followed Xiao Hongzi and said, "Grandpa, wait for me."
Wen Qi tried to follow, but was stopped by two imperial guards.
He understood everything and raised his hands to allow the other party to search him.
After a careful inspection, one of the imperial guards said, "Your Highness may go in. The rest of you will have to wait outside the palace gate."
As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the envoys all changed.
The leader said, "We swear to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death. We must not be more than ten steps away from him."
He clenched his fists and said angrily, "Your Majesty once said that those who come from afar are guests, so Your Highness can treat the capital as your home.
Is this how you An people treat your family members?"
During the peace talks, anything that could affect the relationship between the two countries was no small matter.
But the rules cannot be broken.
They could not forget their duties and let other members of the Liang delegation in just for fear of offending Prince Liang.
Asking for a meeting without being summoned is already a big taboo.
Seeing that they refused to give in, the Liang envoy was immediately enraged. He looked at Wen Qi and said, "Your Highness, they are clearly deliberately making things difficult for us. How can they possibly have the slightest intention of negotiating peace with us?"
The others were already dissatisfied with An Guo's attitude in recent days, and when they heard this, they all agreed.
Everyone shouted, "Let's go back to our own territory and stop being bullied by these An people!"
