Nan Luoying and the others naturally had no objections. After expressing their gratitude, they sat down.
Zhao Wan and Zhao Mian each had their own thoughts, and their expressions were not so good.
In fact, given their current situation, it's impossible for them to look good.
Seeing that their journey to the wilderness was coming to an end, everything they had done became a wedding dress for the emperor.
Instead, they might offend the King of Qi and give others a reason to criticize them when they return.
This is really a case of losing both the wife and the army.
Even someone like Zhao Mian, who had no intention of making any achievements from the beginning and just wanted to pretend to be useless, was not in such a good mood.
What's more, Zhao Wan was ambitious and wanted to take the opportunity to achieve great things.
Now he only regretted that he did not listen to Zhang Dongsheng and have someone keep an eye on Zhao Xin. If he had done that, perhaps he would not have made such a mistake today.
But there is no such thing as knowing in advance or what if in this world.
Of course, there are slight exceptions to this, such as Zhao Xin, who is a time traveler.
However, even the time-travelers are not omniscient and omnipotent, because some things will not be mentioned in the original plot, and some are just mentioned in passing.
For example, in the Dahuang County, there were so many things surrounding the treasure of Emperor Yu and the interests of various parties, but they were only briefly mentioned in the original book.
And as this little butterfly keeps flapping its wings, a lot of history has changed.
I'm afraid it will become increasingly difficult for him to predict the future.
Not to mention natives like Zhao Wan and Zhao Mian.
There's no use regretting now.
After sitting down, both of them were silent.
However, Zhao Xin became interested in them and kept looking at them with a smile, but did not speak immediately until they both felt uneasy.
Then he smiled and asked, "Have you two royal brothers considered the future?"
The two of them raised their eyes after hearing this, but hesitated for a moment.
Then Zhao Wan asked again, "Your Majesty, when you say the future, do you mean the future of the Great Qin or the future of this minister?"
Without waiting for Zhao Xin's reply, he asked himself, "If Your Majesty is referring to the future of Great Qin, then I think Your Majesty should ask this question yourself, because it is Your Majesty who will decide the future of Great Qin.
If Your Majesty is asking about my future, then I think Your Majesty need not worry about it. I have a very good outlook on the future."
"hehe."
Zhao Xin chuckled upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "It seems this kid really has quite a grudge, and he's showing off quite a bit."
He didn't care and asked Zhao Mian again, "Mian Mian, it seems that Wanwan is not very optimistic about the court, but is very confident about the future of your seven families.
What do you think?
"Mian..."
Zhao Mian's chubby face couldn't help but twitch.
Zhao Wan almost fell down, then she snorted proudly and turned her head to the side, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
Encourage?
Wanwan?
Your Majesty, could you please not call me so affectionately?
Otherwise, should we ask you to believe...
Even Nan Luoying and others couldn't help but turn their faces away and pretend not to hear.
Zhao Xin said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. We are just like family members chatting about daily life. I have already promised you that as long as Zhang Qing and Qian Qing do what they said, I will not kill you this time.
What are you afraid of?"
Zhao Mian then smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm stupid. I don't have Brother Zhao Wan's insight, much less Your Majesty's wisdom. I don't know what to say."
"No way, please don't try to trick me."
Zhao Xin looked at him with a half-smile when he heard that.
"This... indeed, I am stupid. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zhao Mian seemed even more panicked, stammering and even fidgeting.
Zhao Wan couldn't help but feel disdainful when watching this.
Zhao Xin looked at him meaningfully, chuckled, and said, "It seems Mian Mian is still unwilling to open up to me.
But it doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t talk about it. We’re just chatting about family matters anyway.
But I do have something to say to Mian Mian."
Then he squinted at him and said, "Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger is a good strategy, but if you pretend too much, you will really become a pig."
Zhao Mian's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly stammered, "This... I don't know what your majesty means."
Zhao Xin ignored him and continued, "You won't tell me the truth, but I can tell you the truth.
Originally, I was planning to settle this privately here and kill you before leaving..."
He paused slightly when he said this, and Zhao Mian's face changed. Then he suddenly remembered his behavior when they met last time and his rudeness to Nan Luoying, and immediately understood what Zhao Xin meant.
For a moment, his face turned pale.
His previous performance was originally just to make his actions consistent with his personality, so he had to maintain it all the time.
But he never expected that it would bring him fatal disaster.
I couldn't help feeling anxious for a moment.
Except for Zuo Qianfeng and Ning Zhuo, everyone else who didn't know what had happened before understood what Zhao Xin meant.
The expressions on their faces were different.
But there was no expression.
Even Zhao Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with what Zhao Xin said.
It would be fine if Zhao Xin was just an ordinary person, but Zhao Xin is the emperor, and Nan Luoying has been accompanying him all the way, so it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.
Moreover, I had heard that the emperor and the Nan family were getting married, so Nan Luoying was obviously Zhao Xin's future concubine.
Moreover, he accompanied the emperor all the way, which shows his favor.
Why don’t you tease anyone else? Why do you want to be rude to the future imperial concubine? Who else should I kill if not you?
