Chapter 149 What’s Your Attitude?
"Princess."
Huo Xiao's already rosy cheeks instantly turned redder.
His voice ended with a hint of hoarseness, "I really can't."
"No what?" Su Yunyao raised her eyebrows, her eyes falling on his lips.
Huo Xiao's throat rolled up and down, "Princess, I have wiped it for you. I will carry you back to rest."
Su Yunyao then withdrew her fingertips, and the smile on the corners of her lips deepened a little.
She pinched his cheek gently, "How cute."
Huo Xiao: ...
Only when Su Yunyao was put back on the bed did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Won't you come up and sleep with me?"
Su Yunyao lay on her side, supporting her head with one hand, looking at him intently.
Huo Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look directly at her, "Princess, I will sit here and watch over you, you can sleep peacefully."
Su Yunyao changed her position and lay on the edge of the bed. "But I'm not sleepy at all now."
"Then, Princess, whatever you want to do, I will accompany you." Huo Xiao looked up at her, "Princess, do you want to see the picture book? I will tell you everything."
Su Yunyao thought for a moment and said, "I'm tired of reading the same old stories in picture books. Why don't you tell me about your childhood?"
"Your humble servant?"
Huo Xiao's eyes widened in shock. "When I was a child, I was locked up in the study all day long. I had nothing to say."
"Actually, I've always been curious. Since General Huo certainly wanted you to study literature, how did you end up winning the title of martial arts champion?"
Even though he was gifted and born a martial arts prodigy.
But the martial arts champion is the best among everyone, and it is not a level that can be achieved by just having a little talent.
Whether it is internal force or external force, it takes a long time of practice to reach that level.
"At that time, I was still young. After leaving the study, I would lie on the desk and watch my brother in the yard, drawing his bow and shooting arrows. In the evening, after my brother's teacher went home, I would pester my brother to teach me martial arts.
My brother has a good temper and dotes on me. Seeing that I have been studious since I was a child, even if he is very tired after a day, he will still patiently teach me what the master taught him during the day.
Gradually, I was able to tie with my brother.
At that time, I felt that I was very great. Now I think that my brother must have been deliberately giving in to me.
My brother is so outstanding. If he hadn't been plotted against by Sang Ye five years ago, he would definitely be the best general in Daxia..."
When Huo Xiao said this, he slowly turned his head and glanced at the princess who was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep while listening to him talk about his childhood.
The princess tilted her head and closed her eyes, seeming to have fallen asleep.
He reached out and smoothed away the strands of hair on the princess' cheek, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his lips.
But there was a hint of bitterness and loss in that smile that was difficult to fathom.
"Princess, I must have disappointed you. The public must have thought that after I conquered Xijing, I would ask the Emperor for your hand in marriage, but I did not.
Musk is the only hope that can wake up my brother. My father died for the country.
I cannot leave my brother alone, so I can only use my military merits to ask the emperor for the spice.
Even if that spice really can't wake my brother up, I will still give it a try.
Since I have decided to be with the princess, I have prepared myself for the possibility that the princess will not leave a successor for me.
My brother is my only relative in this world..."
Huo Xiao slowly raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of sleepiness.
Two days later.
Huo Xiao led the army to Dongling Pass.
Although Su Yunyao's illness was almost cured, at the request of Huo Xiao and the emperor.
She did not leave Linglong Pavilion to see him off.
In the evening, she returned to Linglong Pavilion with pearls and agates.
"Let's go to the Dali Temple."
Pearl's face was filled with sorrow. "Princess, you've only just recovered. If you miss Lord Lu, I can just have him summoned to sleep with you. Why bother making the trip in person?"
Sleep with the emperor?
When Su Yunyao heard these two words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Pearl, although there is nothing wrong with what you said, why does it sound so funny?"
"Princess, what's so funny about this?" Pearl was puzzled. "Now General Huo and Lord Lu are both your consorts. Since there are two consorts in the palace, when the princess wants a certain gentleman to sleep with her, of course she has to ask this servant to go and fetch him."
Recruiting a dorm room?
Su Yunyao laughed so hard that tears were about to fall. "According to what you said, do I have to make each of them into a green card? Then every night, you hold up those green cards for me to flip through, and whoever I flip over gets to sleep with me?"
Zhenzhu thought about it seriously, nodded, and then shook her head. "Princess, this isn't right. If you find General Huo, he's far away at Dongling Pass. How can I summon him to my bed?"
Su Yunyao patted her shoulders twice and said, "That's a great idea!"
pearl:……
"Princess."
"Okay, let's go to Dali Temple."
Su Yunyao had followed Lu Mingfeng to the Dali Temple once before, and the guards at the gate knew him.
"This subordinate pays homage to the Princess. May the Princess live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, and a thousand thousand years."
"Get up." Su Yunyao glanced at the two of them calmly, "Is Lu Mingfeng here?"
"In reply to the Princess, Lord Lu has not returned from the palace since early this morning. Do you need me to send someone to invite Lord Lu back?"
"No."
As soon as Su Yunyao finished speaking, the captain of the police quickly ran out of the Dali Temple.
"Meet...meet the Princess."
"Is the Second Prince of Xijing still imprisoned in the Dali Temple? I want to see him."
The head constable replied apprehensively, "In reply to the princess, lock him up inside. I will bring you in right away."
After entering the Dali Temple, there was still the same long and narrow corridor, but the Dali Temple at this time seemed a lot more gloomy than the first time she came here.
Sang Ye was imprisoned in a cell farther inside. Under the dim light, the cell was filled with a foul odor mixed with the smell of rust.
Su Yunyao couldn't help but pull out her handkerchief and cover her mouth and nose.
With the sound of the chains being opened, Sang Ye, who was sitting in the corner, opened his eyes and looked at the person who came.
Just one glance and he was visibly startled, sitting up straighter than before.
"Why is it you?" Sang Ye frowned, and seemed to look behind Su Yunyao, and asked with a puzzled look: "Are you alone?"
Su Yunyao took two steps towards him and said, "Why are you so disappointed? Then tell me, who do you want to see? Maybe I can help you."
"Heh!" Sang Ye sneered and turned his head away.
Su Yunyao looked at him with disdain, but did not react at all. Instead, the captain of the police standing behind her and who came in with him frowned, picked up a wooden stick and smashed it directly at Sang Ye.
"The Princess is asking questions, what's your attitude?"
