The King of Wu was still chattering: "Why, I have exposed your dirty thoughts, and you have nothing to say or refute, right? I will never fulfill your wish!"
After saying this, the King of Wu turned away.
Shen Wei’s mouth twitched.
This guy is mentally ill!
...
The guide fell ill, so the team temporarily rested at the post station. The King of Wu returned to the yard of the post station, sat down on a stone bench and sulked, still feeling unhappy.
Good job Yuan Xier!
In order to become a princess, she actually did such a bold thing!
"Your Highness, please have some tea." The guard Zhang Wulang brought a bowl of hot tea.
King Wu took the tea, but did not finish it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Zhang Wulang, how about I expel Shen Wei—oh no, Yuan Xier from the team?"
Zhang Wulang tactfully advised: "Your Majesty, you can't drive her away."
We had just left the territory of Donglin Kingdom. There was a long journey ahead of us, and without a guide it was like a blind man walking.
The King of Wu held the tea bowl in his hand, thinking, "You mean that Yuan Xier is deeply in love with me and will never change until death. She knew that the future was difficult and dangerous, but she still risked her life to follow me. Girls like her are rare?"
Guard Zhang Wulang: "..."
That's not what he meant.
The guard Zhang Wulang said, "Your Majesty, please keep Yuan Xier."
The team needs her.
The King of Wu drank more than half a bowl of tea, but he was still irritated. He muttered, "You persuaded me to keep Yuan Xier? But the woman I want to marry is the most extraordinary and beautiful girl in the world! How can I explain to the future princess if I leave Yuan Xier in the King of Wu's mansion... However, she loves me deeply, and I really can't bear to let her down. How about taking her as a concubine?"
Zhang Wulang: ...
Zhang Wulang explained tactfully: "Your Majesty, I want you to keep Yuan Xier in the team."
I'm not asking you to keep her in the palace as a concubine!
And along the way, Zhang Wulang often chatted with Yuan Xier. When Zhang Wulang looked at Yuan Xier's eyes, he only saw her disdain for King Wu, not a single trace of love for her.
The King of Wu glared at Zhang Wulang in anger and said, "You are such a fool! Yuan Xier is bedridden, how could I take advantage of her and take her while she is on the road? You are an honest man, but you have such dirty thoughts."
Zhang Wulang choked and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Following the King of Wu, he did not enjoy the wealth and glory, but was instead blamed for all the shit that fell on his head every day.
After drinking a bowl of hot tea, King Wu finally made up his mind after a fierce ideological struggle.
He returned to the inn in a hurry.
Shen Wei was leaning on the edge of the bed, frowning as she drank the cold and fever-reducing medicine that Yuanfu had brought her. King Wu pushed open the door and rushed in, shocking Shen Wei so much that she almost threw the medicine bowl in her hand.
Yuan Fu: "Your Majesty, you are rushing here. Did our team run into bandits?"
King Wu waved his hand and said, "There is no bandit attack. Yuan Xier, I just had a chat with Brother Zhang Wu, and after his reminder, I decided to help you."
Shen Wei was confused.
What do you want to accomplish for her?
The King of Wu said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "If I can return home safely, I will take you as my concubine!"
A mouthful of bitter medicine got stuck in her throat, and Shen Wei choked and coughed non-stop. She simply couldn't understand the way King Wu was thinking. Shen Wei coughed violently and waved at King Wu repeatedly.
She doesn't want to be a concubine!
She wants to return to Qing Kingdom to continue her retirement!
King Wu saw Shen Wei waving her hands repeatedly and thought that Shen Wei was dissatisfied. His handsome face was unpredictable. He stopped and thought for a moment before finally compromising: "Forget it. Being a concubine is really unfair to you. In the future, I will take you as my concubine, okay?"
Shen Wei: “Cough, cough, cough——”
...
The team did not stay at the post station for too long. After dawn the next day, the team set off again in the morning light. Shen Wei still had a low fever, and her throat could only make low, hoarse sounds.
She put on a windproof hat and showed Zhang Wulang the route they would travel today. Shen Wei got on the horse again, ready to continue walking in front of the team.
The King of Wu looked at her frail little body and sighed inwardly. He called Shen Wei: "Come and ride in the carriage with me, no need to ride a horse."
Shen Wei weighed the options in her mind for a moment.
She hadn't recovered from the cold yet, and riding a horse in the wind could easily lead to accidents. Shen Wei would only choose the direction that was most beneficial to herself when doing anything, so she decisively dismounted and got into King Wu's carriage.
The King of Wu clicked his tongue.
She was so impatient.
The team continued to set off. The carriage was much more comfortable, with soft cushions that kept out the wind and cold. After drinking the cold medicine, Shen Wei leaned her head against the wall of the carriage, taking the time to catch up on sleep and rest.
The place she was going to in the afternoon was Minju.
Minzhou is in chaos, and the entire team must be vigilant and guard against robbery by evil people.
King Wu sipped his tea silently, while Shen Wei sat opposite him, leaning against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed. King Wu couldn't help but stare at Shen Wei's sleeping face.
Her skin was still dark and rough, her features were barely pretty, and she was as thin as a cat. No matter from which angle you looked at her, she did not meet the standards of beauty. But as the King of Wu looked at her, he inexplicably thought she was quite beautiful.
The sleeping posture is very beautiful.
Excellent temperament.
The King of Wu could not help but reflect on himself: "Could it be that I have been in Wu County for too long and have never seen a beautiful woman, so now I think a black cat is pretty?"
Shen Wei was awakened by his voice, and she opened her eyes impatiently: "What cat?"
The cold has not yet healed and the voice is very hoarse.
The King of Wu suddenly felt a little hot and thirsty.
He drank a bowl of tea guiltily, not daring to look into Shen Wei’s eyes: “Nothing… You, you continue to rest.”
The convoy continued to move along the official road at a very slow speed. In the distance, they could already see the border mountains of Qing Kingdom and the Mingyuan River that flowed between the two countries. In the afternoon, Shen Wei had enough sleep. After waking up, she spread out the map and began to study the next journey.
