Chapter 30 Can You Really Trust Her?
Could it be that the princess is dissatisfied with General Huo, so...
ah!
Princess, think three times, four times, and five times.
If General Huo fails to destroy Xijing in one fell swoop, the King of Xijing will have to marry his eldest princess to Xijing as a peace treaty.
Their eldest princess is so beautiful, how can she marry an old man?
Even if General Huo is not good in that aspect, he is absolutely invincible when leading troops in battle.
He is a Rakshasa who is feared by the enemy on the battlefield.
Pearl looked like an old mother who was worried sick, and the expression on her face was quite wonderful.
Su Yunyao poked her head out from behind Huo Xiao, put her arms around him, and rested her chin on his shoulder.
The scattered hair on his forehead flew over his ears, making him feel itchy, like a kitten's paw scratching his heart, causing the heat he had just suppressed to instantly burn.
"Zhenzhu, please go out first." Su Yunyao said slowly.
Pearl held the axe and bowed, not daring to raise her eyes. "Yes, Princess!"
The moment the door was closed, Pearl let out a long sigh and lowered her eyes to look at the axe in her hand.
She was roaring wildly in her heart!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
After Zhenzhu left, Huo Xiao stopped flirting with Su Yunyao and straightened his messy clothes.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he's afraid that he won't be able to control his emotions and might really do something inappropriate, even though he still has to go to war tomorrow.
After leaving the princess's mansion, Huo Xiao went to Huichun Hall.
Doctor Li had just fumigated Huo Kang with incense.
Doctor Li saw him coming, put down what he was doing and saluted, "General Huo."
Huo Xiao returned the greeting, "I will be leaving for the Western Capital tomorrow. Brother, I'll have to trouble Doctor Li."
"General Huo, you are too polite. It is my duty to treat Mr. Huo. General Huo, please rest assured."
Huo Xiao looked at Huo Kang lying quietly on the hospital bed. He seemed to be asleep, but his face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood on it. He couldn't help but think of that night five years ago.
Huo Xiao's arms, clasped across his chest, tightened little by little...
He closed his eyes tightly, and those unbearable past events were gradually covered up by a bright and beautiful face.
His mind kept flashing through scenes of the Hibiscus Pond and the Princess's Mansion, almost occupying his entire being...
Bro, can I really trust her?
When Huo Xiao left, he left behind a silver ingot.
Just as he reached the door, Lin Miaomiao bumped into him head-on. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have almost bumped into him.
"Feel sorry."
Lin Miaomiao covered her face with a veil, walked hurriedly, nodded to express her apology, and walked inside.
Huo Xiao's eyes darkened and he turned sideways in the direction she was going.
"Master Shen, since such a serious incident has happened to you, why didn't you send someone to Yanyu Tower to inform them?"
Lin Miaomiao had tears in her eyes and was about to cry as she spoke.
Chen Qiunian's face was still sickly pale. Hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Miaomiao.
Just a glance.
He pretended not to see it, slowly closed his eyes, and turned his body to the inside.
This time, Lin Miaomiao was completely anxious.
"Lord Shen."
She called his name and reached out to grab his arm, which was lying on the bed.
Lin Miaomiao just moved her lips, but before she could finish the words, Chen Qiu Nian had already calmly pulled his arm back from her hand.
Looking at her empty hand, Lin Miaomiao's eyes flashed and she couldn't hide her panic.
Even if she did something wrong on weekdays, Shen Qiu Nian never really got angry with her.
What's going on at this time?
"Master Shen, did Miaomiao do something wrong?" Lin Miaomiao choked up, "If Miaomiao has made Master Lin angry in any way, Miaomiao will apologize to Master Lin. Just please don't ignore Miaomiao. Miaomiao is really scared."
After she finished speaking, her tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls that had broken off the string, and one drop happened to fall on the back of Shen Qiu Nian's hand.
His fingertips trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Miao Miao, let me ask you one thing. Regarding the portrait, were you willing or forced?"
Lin Miaomiao's face turned pale. "What do you mean by asking this, Lord Shen? Do you not believe Miaomiao?"
Shen Qiunian turned his head and looked at her without making any mistake. "I just want to hear the truth from you."
Lin Miaomiao's mouth was slightly open, with tears in her eyes. She raised her trembling hand to wipe away the tears, with a hint of resentment and grievance in her eyes.
"Miao Miao doesn't know who or what Lord Shen heard. Miao Miao knows that I am no longer worthy of Lord Shen. If Lord Shen is tired of Miao Miao, then let me fend for myself in Yanyu Tower. The eldest princess is of noble status and has admired Lord Shen for a long time. If Lord Shen becomes the eldest princess's consort, he will surely rise to prominence in the future. It is Miao Miao who has delayed Lord Shen's career."
Lin Miaomiao stood up after she finished speaking, and the moment she turned around, her wrist was grabbed by Shen Qiunian.
"What are you talking about? Am I, Chen Qiu Nian, the kind of person who only cares about wealth and fame and forgets about old friendships?"
"Miaomiao didn't mean that." Lin Miaomiao bit her lips tightly, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, as if they would roll down at any time: "Miaomiao is now..."
"Okay." Shen Qiu Nian interrupted him, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said all that. It reminded you of sad things. It's just that I happened to meet the owner of Jinjinglou today and mentioned this matter unintentionally. I just said a few words."
"Jinjinglou?" Lin Miaomiao swayed. "Jinjinglou originally belonged to the eldest princess. How could the shopkeeper not listen to their boss? The eldest princess has liked Lord Shen for so long, and Lord Shen asked the emperor to marry me. How could the eldest princess not resent him? If Lord Shen wants to believe the shopkeeper's words, Miaomiao has nothing to say."
"Miao Miao." Shen Qiu Nian's brows knitted together nervously, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you so easily."
"Lord Shen..."
Huo Xiao raised the corner of his lips in a mocking arc, and turned to leave Huichun Hall.
-
Followed by the sound of horse hooves.
Su Yunyao's carriage stopped at the gate of Xuan Zheng Hall.
Lifting the carriage curtain, she watched from afar as a man in court robes walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall.
The man had picturesque eyebrows and eyes like stars. Under his sword-like eyebrows, which were neither thick nor thin, his narrow eyes were like the gurgling spring water, warm as a spring breeze.
There are such exquisite items in the imperial court?
Su Yunyao was a little dazed for a moment.
Before the man left, she quickly walked into the Xuanzheng Hall.
The emperor saw her come in and put down the red brush in his hand, "My sister is here."
Su Yunyao didn't respond to his words, her eyes still fixed on the direction where the man was walking away, "Royal brother, who was that man who just left you?"
The emperor frowned, "Royal sister, what's going on between you and Huo Xiao?"
"Royal brother, that man is so handsome. What official position does he hold? Can you introduce him to me?" Su Yunyao's mind was filled with the man's appearance.
The emperor sighed softly, "My sister took Huo Xiao to the Hibiscus Pond yesterday? What did my sister do to him? I heard from the palace servants that Huo Xiao's underwear was soaked."
