Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Ying steadily. The woman in front of him had skin as white as snow, glowing in the dark night. She was extremely beautiful and dazzling.
But it's not just her face that's beautiful and dazzling.
He parted his lips slightly, unable to utter a word for a long time. A faint halo floated in his pupils. The night wind howled fiercely in his ears, but he ignored it. His chest was buzzing with a thump, thump, thump...
Zhao Xi felt the power of a woman.
She needs no embellishment of words, no need to set off or criticize, and no need to be sharp. She is like a huge wave deep in the calm river and sea. Water is the gentlest and the most generous, but when it gets angry, it is also the most frightening.
He couldn't help but think of Qi Dongqiang.
All her life she hated herself for being a weak woman. She admired the strong and wanted to be as tough as men. She felt superior to the other noble ladies because she believed that her status was earned by herself and she did not rely on her father or husband like others.
She tried to trample all the women in the world under her feet to prove her strength and uniqueness.
Now that I think about it, her self-reliance was so vain.
She particularly disliked Zhao Ying, probably because she saw in her the strength and confidence that she desperately desired but lacked.
Only these can support all the beautiful qualities in the world.
He has always known that his lover is not perfect, and these flaws do not prevent him from loving her, but at this moment, he thought with some guilt that Zhao Ying was right to look down on Qi Dongqiang.
No, he couldn't think like that!
He couldn't look down on his Yuan'er. How could he repay her life-saving grace and companionship?
A strange emotion arose in Zhao Xi's heart.
Zhao Ying, such a brilliant woman, is his sister.
My dear sister!
How lucky is he to have such a perfect and outstanding sister?
Zhao Xi could hardly hold back and was about to blurt out that she was going to kill the clan members to gain credit, and he was going to massacre the people to gain infamy. He subconsciously didn't want Zhao Ying to be reported by those sour-tempered officials, or even to be so serious as to force his father to kill his daughter to appease the resentment.
No matter how favored she is, she is just a princess.
It's okay for him. He is his father's legitimate son and the future emperor of the Great Chu without a doubt. What can't he do under the whole sky?
Who can blame him in the slightest?
But...will she appreciate it?
Is she worthy of him?
He was proud of her, but she only had that idiot Zhao Cong in her heart!
She treated his first wife well, and even went so far as to keep his identity hidden for the rest of his life in order to preserve his status!
Zhao Xi's heart gradually grew cold, and he felt a dull pain.
Zhao Ying noticed the pain between Zhao Xi's brows. She pulled herself out of her previous anger and asked hurriedly, "Are you...are you in pain anywhere?"
Zhao Xi raised his hand and touched his chest.
Zhao Ying's face drooped immediately, and she looked a little disgusted. "Are you thinking of Qi Dongqiang?"
She was discussing serious matters with him, but he was absent-minded, missing his deceased wife... Zhao Ying couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that Qi Dongqiang died, otherwise, if she had really lived, she would have been crowned queen one day, and the Great Chu would have such a queen mother... Zhao Ying felt a pang in her heart.
Zhao Xi couldn't refute it. Thinking of this unsolvable poison, a hint of annoyance flashed across his cold and beautiful brows. This way, everyone could see what he was thinking.
Zhao Xi took another deep breath and stared at Zhao Ying, his eyes darkening.
It doesn't matter, he is not in a hurry.
When his father passes away, he will ascend the throne and become emperor. Zhao Ying will have no choice but to rely on him. Why should she not regret what she did today?
Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Xi silently, looking at her tall, handsome, noble, cold-hearted, wise and knowledgeable brother.
She now had one more unsolved problem in her life.
One was that Shangguan Shu and Zhao Yao went crazy and rebelled for a little love, and the other was that her brother was so obsessed with Qi Dongqiang. It was not so much confusion as it was rejection. She couldn't accept her brother being eaten by a pig...
No, she insulted the pig.
Zhu Cuicui is at least better than Qi Dongqiang.
She really wanted to grab Zhao Xi's arm and flush out all the water in his head, and roar at him wantonly, "I don't want her to be my sister-in-law! She doesn't deserve it! She doesn't deserve it!"
Well done to Yueer...she is really good at giving birth!
The brother and sister each had their own worries and their faces looked unhappy.
Despite this, the two men still took the overall situation into consideration. After calming down for a moment, they discussed how to quietly eliminate the Dali clan.
First of all, you must control the army.
This creates two problems. First, the Yunnan Army does not have enough food and pay. The food supply routes are controlled by the clans, and there is not enough food and grass. The Yunnan Army is spread all over the border, and the 150,000-strong army is not far from here. I'm afraid they cannot be assembled alive, and if there is no legitimate reason to transfer troops here, the clans will definitely be on guard.
The second is Liang Su, he is the commander of the Yunnan Army, his family is controlled by the clan. Although he has already risked everything and disregarded his family, and his loyalty is evident, they cannot really let his family die for the country.
Then...make a feint to the east and attack in the west to avoid the enemy's attack.
It just so happened that Shangguan Qingyue was making a fuss about looking for durian, so Zhao Ying took her to find it. This was a three-pronged approach. Not only could she satisfy her baby's appetite, she could also unconsciously mobilize the Yunnan Army to demand their food and fodder, and she could also capture cities and strongholds to enhance the power of her Great Chu!
This group of treacherous and cunning people never expected that when the swords of the 150,000-strong army were raised, it would not be the six southern countries that would be targeted, but them!
The army's blockade of Dali was not because of the news that Zhao Ying had secretly mobilized troops, but because of their lives!
The army is setting off, no one can escape from Dali!
…
"Wine! This wine is poisonous!" The head of the Bai family's pupils dilated, he covered his stomach, pushed away the case in front of him, staggered back a step, and fell to the ground.
His purple-black lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with panic and resentment.
It was especially refreshing to see soldiers suddenly standing up among the crowd of people lying in a twisted and crooked state, with no signs of poisoning.
