Chapter 1954: I won’t always lose to you
Tang Bao was surprised to see King Xiao again.
The prince, who used to be tall and strong and exuded an aura of dominance, is now thin and looks decadent.
The dark stubble covered most of his face, but it still couldn't hide the weakness between his brows.
Especially the wheelchair under him gives people the feeling of an old man.
Is this King Xiao?
"My little princess, how are you?" Prince Xiao spoke first, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "Are you happy to see me like this?"
Tang Bao: "...The prince is still as wise as ever."
Tang Bao thought about it and finally changed "self-knowledge" to "wisdom" for Bai Shuqing's sake.
Anyway, they all express the same meaning.
She was just very happy and gloating.
The corner of King Xiao's mouth twitched, as if he didn't take Tang Bao's words to heart.
Instead, he said with some self-mockery: "This king did not expect that from the moment he set foot in Dayan, he would embark on a path of no return."
"Oh, I'm glad that Your Highness understands." Tang Bao said.
The more you understand, the more uncomfortable it is, which is good.
King Xiao: “…”
"The little princess still loves to stab people in the heart." King Xiao said with a wry smile.
"I'll take it as a compliment from the prince." Tang Bao said with a smile.
Tang Bao would never be so generous as to forgive King Xiao for plotting against her.
What's more, the two people's positions are opposing, not only between individuals, but also between families and countries.
Bai Shuqing took her son from the maid's hands, picked up a small rattle and played with her son with it, with a loving smile on her face, and did not participate in the conversation between King Xiao and Tang Bao.
Prince Xiao held out his wrist and said, "Could you please, little princess, feel my pulse?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Sitting still.
"Don't worry, your Great Yan's emperor won't blame you if he finds out." King Xiao added, "Perhaps he will even personally issue an order for you to take my pulse and treat me. My life is still of some use to your Great Yan."
Tang Bao: “…”
A hint of thought flashed across Tang Bao's eyes.
King Xiao was not in a hurry. Instead, he glanced at his son in Bai Shuqing's arms.
"Although I am not even qualified to be a hostage now, the situation will be different soon." King Xiao continued, his tone carrying a hint of sadness, or perhaps, a hint of pleasure.
This made Tang Bao a little confused.
It would be fine if it was just sadness, but where does the joy come from?
Tang Bao didn't refuse anymore and began to take King Xiao's pulse.
A man like King Xiao would never speak without a purpose.
Prince Xiao's pulse...
Tang Bao raised her eyebrows calmly.
Then he lowered his eyes again.
King Xiao seemed to have guessed something and said, "I didn't lose to her. The medicine she gave me will not harm my life."
As soon as King Xiao finished speaking, Bai Shuqing's face changed drastically and the hand holding the rattle froze.
Tang Bao, however, did not look surprised at all.
She said it, with King Xiao's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to notice Bai Shuqing's little movements.
However, he was happy to accept it after noticing it. Who can say that King Xiao didn't have Bai Shuqing in his heart?
"I lost to you!" King Xiao continued, and his words were shocking.
Tang Bao: “…”
This pot is a bit big.
"Why do you say that, Your Highness?" Tang Bao laughed and said, "I've been away from Beijing for a few years and haven't done anything. I didn't even know that Your Highness had broken one leg and now had both legs disabled."
King Xiao: “…”
Even though he accepted his leg disability, he still felt like he was stabbed again after hearing Tang Bao's words.
"If the young princess hadn't gone to Western Qin and neutralized the poison within the Western Qin Empress, thus thwarting the years-long plot of the Western Qin Emperor, Western Qin would have long since fallen into the hands of Northern Qi." Prince Xiao said, "Once Western Qin is conquered, we can combine the forces of both nations and march south to attack Dayan. It will be a piece of cake."
Tang Bao: “…”
It’s a good plan, but don’t plan again in this life.
"Your Highness, you're saying this as if you can leave the capital if I don't go to Western Qin." Tang Bao said with a half-smile, "Even if Northern Qi conquers Western Qin, what does it have to do with you?"
Do you think you, a disabled prince, can still pick peaches?
King Xiao: “…”
A choke.
He did regret it.
I regret coming to Dayan and regret being too frivolous at the beginning.
He thought he had everything under control.
He came to Dayan just to show off his power, to destroy Dayan's momentum, and to test Dayan's strength.
Unexpectedly, he would never come back.
What made him most angry was that many things were clearly going as planned, but unexpected results always occurred.
In the end, they actually wanted to trap him to death in Dayan.
"Your Highness, why do you blame others?" Tang Bao continued, "A general's success is built on the sacrifice of countless soldiers. War brings suffering to the people of the world. If Your Highness had been less ambitious and had stayed in Northern Qi, how could we be in this predicament today?"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she added another sentence.
"However, the prince doesn't seem to be very popular in Northern Qi."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to go back, and Northern Qi wouldn't even have the intention to ask for his release.
King Xiao should understand that he had both power and status when he was in Northern Qi.
However, once he left Northern Qi, there would naturally be others who would be eager to take his place.
To put it bluntly, King Xiao was defeated by himself, by his own arrogance and self-righteousness.
But King Xiao didn't think so.
"I'm certainly wrong, but if it weren't for the little princess, I would never have ended up in this situation!" Prince Xiao's voice finally took on a hint of unwillingness. "Many things seem to be wrong, but in fact, God is helping the little princess! He is always against me!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, I am God’s daughter.
If God is not busy, how can I help you?
"Your Majesty, I still say the same thing. If you don't accept it, then just hold it in." Tang Bao said sincerely: "If you do too many bad things, God will definitely not be able to bear it."
As Tang Bao spoke, her eyes fell on King Xiao's legs.
This person with a disabled leg is really good.
King Xiao: “…”
King Xiao's heart, which had been calm for a long time, was broken again by Tang Bao's words.
"What's so good about Xuanyuan Jin? His only lucky thing is meeting you!" Prince Xiao said indignantly: "If it weren't for you, he would have died countless times!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop making personal attacks on my brother!" Tang Bao couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "Even without me, my brother wouldn't be dead! My brother is a great hero, you can never catch up with him in your lifetime!"
King Xiao: “…”
hehe!
"Okay, although you can't stand up, you won't die." Tang Bao said bluntly: "I'll prescribe a prescription that will keep you alive."
After saying this, he wrote out a prescription, threw it to King Xiao, and waved goodbye.
Since this person cannot die now, and there is still a place where he is useful, then let him live half-dead.
