Chapter 51 Why must I be a favorite concubine?
Zhao Miaomiao ate and played along the way.
Half a month later.
When we were in the next city, we heard from passersby that Su, who had just been canonized as a noble concubine, had died. It seemed that she had committed suicide by jumping into the lake, and no one knew the reason.
It is said that when Concubine Su was salvaged, her entire body had been soaked and rotten, and was unrecognizable.
Zhao Miaomiao was a little confused. It was true that she jumped into the water, but there should be no body.
Why were they able to salvage the body?
No. 99 told her: [Someone helped you fake a corpse.]
"Who is it?"
[The former imperial concubine in the cold palace, Yuan.]
No. 99 briefly told the story of Zhao Miaomiao after she left the palace, [After you left.
The former Defei, also known as Yuan, was taken out of the cold palace by the emperor and settled in a secluded palace.
Afterwards, Emperor Wu Zhanjun has been looking for your whereabouts in every possible way.
I didn't pay any attention to Yuan for the time being, so naturally I didn't notice that there was one less maid in Yuan's palace.
Half a month later, that is, now, the maid's body was discovered after it had rotted in the pool and started to stink.
Zhao Miaomiao was a little shocked, and had an indescribable complex feeling, "So grandma killed someone for me?"
No. 99 didn't say whether it was true or not, but simply said, "This is actually quite common in the palace. The lives of the servants, in particular, are probably not as valuable as the birds raised by the concubines."
Zhao Miaomiao lowered her head and said nothing more.
Later that night, in the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying, he silently burned paper for the dead maid.
Although she didn't do it, someone did die because of her.
"I'm sorry, little girl. I didn't even know your name, and you're gone. If I have the chance, I'll try my best to give you this life back."
After fishing out "Su Lan's" body.
Wu Zhanjun's attitude changed from shock, difficulty in accepting, and disbelief at the beginning, to despair later on.
Su Lan is dead?
Why did she die?
I haven't decided yet whether to let her die or not, why did she die like this?!
Wu Zhanjun went a little crazy and smashed everything in the imperial study.
Su Nan came and wanted to comfort Wu Zhanjun.
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The Imperial Concubine deserved it. She..."
"Shut up!"
Wu Zhanjun picked up an inkstone beside him and threw it at Su Nan.
Su Nan was startled and didn't dodge.
The inkstone was about to hit her in the face.
Then Gu Xiyan appeared, a hero who saved the beauty. He held Su Nan and spun around gorgeously, helping Su Nan to dodge.
Wu Zhanjun recognized Gu Xiyan, "Gu Xiyan? Didn't you ask me for permission to go to the border to accompany the general? Why are you here?"
Before, Wu Zhanjun only knew that Su Nan was unwilling to enter the palace as a concubine, so she ran away.
I thought Su Nan escaped alone.
The Su family kept the matter secret very well, and almost no one knew that Su Nan escaped with Gu Xiyan.
But at this moment, Wu Zhanjun looked at Gu Xiyan hugging Su Nan's waist, Su Nan nestled in Gu Xiyan's arms, the intimate gesture, the ambiguous posture, and instantly understood everything.
"You...you two...Okay! Okay! You both lied to me! You both lied to me!"
Wu Zhanjun was furious: "Come here, arrest Su Nan and Gu Xiyan for me!!"
Seeing this, Gu Xiyan immediately grabbed Su Nan's hand and said, "Run! Nan'er, don't worry, I will protect you!"
Although all the guards in the palace were dispatched.
But the halo of the male and female protagonists Su Nan and Gu Xiyan was too strong, and they were still able to break through the siege and escape.
This time, both of them made up their minds to no longer care about anything else and to live a life like a ranger.
But not long after, the Yu State launched a war and began a large-scale attack on the Wu State.
Zhao Miaomiao had already traveled to five or six cities. When she was about to go to the next city, she saw many people leaving with their bags on their backs.
Zhao Miaomiao got off the carriage and stopped a passing woman to ask, "Excuse me, what's going on in that town ahead? Why is everyone leaving?"
The woman replied, “Little girl, you should go too.
People from Yu country are about to attack.
Once they occupy the city, you won’t be able to leave.”
After saying this, the woman walked away quickly and caught up with the fleeing group.
Zhao Miaomiao was puzzled: "Yu Kingdom?"
Answer No. 99: [It is Du Wansheng’s country.
The current plot has progressed to the point where Du Wansheng has become the ruler of Yu State after returning.
Upon hearing the news of Su Lan's death, he was heartbroken and furious, and decided to attack the State of Wu to avenge Su Lan.
"I see."
Zhao Miaomiao looked at the people fleeing around her. There were elderly people in their seventies and eighties, children who had just learned to walk, pregnant women, and babies still crying in their arms...
Zhao Miaomiao felt a little emotional. She had only seen scenes in words and stories in novels before, but now she could see it with her own eyes and truly feel the horror of war.
No matter when, war is cruel and it will affect many innocent people.
Zhao Miaomiao felt a little sorry and asked No. 99, "I remember the plot you mentioned. Next, Su Nan will meet Du Wansheng and rescue these people, right?"
Number 99 shook his head. "Not here. This is only the first city the Yu Kingdom is attacking. They'll have to capture five or six cities in a row before Su Nan comes."
"So, we'll have to go through five or six more cities with this kind of scene?"
Zhao Miaomiao was a little angry, "Where is that guy Du Wansheng?
I’ll use my big mouth to beat him!
You haven't learned anything from following me, and you're still thinking about war!
Let’s go find him!
Let's see if he dares to continue attacking!"
No. 99: ………The host is a bit tough, is there any way to cure him? Waiting online, it's urgent.
Zhao Miaomiao came to the outside of the city and came to where the Yu army was stationed.
The guards at the door saw a carriage approaching.
"Who are you? Do you know where this is? How dare you come here?"
Zhao Miaomiao got off the carriage and said directly, "Go and call Du Wansheng out to me."
The guard immediately shouted, "You little girl, you're courting death! You dare to call the king by his name?"
As the guard said this, he was about to draw the sword at his waist, but he didn't pull it out yet.
Zhao Miaomiao stepped forward and slapped him twice.
“Don’t be so blind as to provoke me!
Since I dare to call Du Wansheng by his name, it proves that I am his boss! I am his big brother!
Don't bother to talk to me here, just go and call him out!
Otherwise, if you touch me, you will see how Du Wansheng will punish you! "
The guard was stunned and frightened by Zhao Miaomiao's words.
Then he thought about it and said to Zhao Miaomiao: "Wait here!"
Then he went in.
Du Wansheng was in his tent, discussing with his officers how to capture the first city of the Wu Kingdom.
An officer proposed to massacre the city.
But Du Wansheng did not want to kill innocent people, so he did not agree.
Du Wansheng thought, if his elder brother were here and knew what he did, he would definitely scold him to death.
Big Brother...
Whenever Du Wansheng thought of Zhao Miaomiao, he felt a pang of pain in his heart, difficulty breathing, and wanted to cry.
But he couldn't cry in front of all his officers and ministers, so he forced himself to hold back his tears.
At this time, the guard ran out of the tent and shouted, "Report to the king, there is a woman at the door, calling out by name, saying she is looking for you, the king, and saying... she is yours..."
The guard hadn't finished speaking yet.
Du Wansheng ran out like a gust of wind.
The person I think about day and night is standing there.
She was wearing simple men's clothes, with her hair not tied up and no makeup on. She looked so handsome despite her simple appearance.
Du Wansheng's eyes turned red and he ran forward, wanting to hug Zhao Miaomiao.
But as soon as he got close, Zhao Miaomiao poked him on the head and pushed him back.
"Hey, hey, hey, pay attention to the rules. It's only been a short time since we last met, and you've already forgotten?
I am your elder brother, so don't think of taking advantage of me."
Du Wansheng burst into laughter. It was a familiar recipe, a familiar taste, and a familiar person.
It's her, that's right.
"Okay, big brother."
