Chapter 436 Choice
"Concubine Xi worships Buddha all year round and rarely attends palace banquets. She has a gentle personality. I seldom interact with her, so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with her." Zhan Beiheng said in a calm voice.
Nan Jiao stroked her chin and said, "I'll find a chance to meet her."
Zhan Beiheng nodded. If she wanted to meet, he would arrange it.
Yesterday, while having dinner at Tokushou Palace.
The Emperor's grandfather told me about the secret passage.
They all suspected that the descendants of that tribe were hiding in the harem and that the other side was the biggest enemy. If that was the case, they must be found out.
Zhan Qingheng looked at Nan Jiao, "No matter why you want to investigate this matter, as long as you find out the murderer who killed my mother, I will be grateful to you."
Nan Jiao rolled her eyes and said arrogantly, "Do you think I need your gratitude?"
Zhan Qingheng met her contemptuous look. In the past, he would have been furious and retorted, but now he had no qualifications at all.
"Whether you need it or not, I will be grateful. I lost and I lost. Although I am unwilling in my heart and I hate my father for being partial, I will not go against you again."
Zhan Qingheng said calmly.
Now he has no capital to do anything wrong.
From yesterday to today, he has faced the reality.
If I had the chance to do it again.
He probably no longer aspires to be the emperor, but only wants to be a leisurely and carefree prince. He does not want to get involved in any struggle for imperial power.
He struggled hard all his life, but in the end, he got nothing.
Nan Jiao glanced at him and pulled Zhan Beiheng away.
As for how her father would deal with Zhan Qingheng in the end, she would not interfere.
After leaving Ruiwang Mansion.
Nan Jiao took Zhan Beiheng to Qianji Pavilion.
When Nangong Shi, who was dressed in a red robe, saw Nan Jiao, he immediately ran towards her and opened his arms to hug her. After waiting for a long time, he finally saw her.
Zhan Beiheng moved to block Nan Jiao behind him and said bluntly: "Only I can hold my woman, so put away your thoughts!"
Nangong Shi had no choice but to stop and frowned, "You are too stingy. She and I are friends who will live and die together. What's wrong with a hug?"
"No means no!" Zhan Beiheng said in a cold and arrogant tone, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.
“You, you, you…” Nangong Shi gritted his teeth in anger, then looked at Nan Jiao who walked out from behind him with a resentful expression.
"Long time no see." Nan Jiao said with a smile.
"You say you are so beautiful, what did you do with that ugly face before?" Nangong Shi couldn't help but complain, forcing him to face that ugly face every time they met.
He is obsessed with face!
If she hadn't conquered him with her strength, he wouldn't have associated with her.
Nan Jiao smiled and said, "To prevent others from taking advantage of me. Being ugly can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Nangong Shi was full of black lines, and her little head was full of all kinds of twisted ideas, "But what you said is true, otherwise I would definitely pursue you, and he would not have a problem."
After saying this, he looked at Zhan Beiheng provocatively.
Others are afraid of him, but he is not afraid of others.
Zhan Beiheng looked at him and said venomously, "With your peacock-like appearance, she will never like you even if you chase her till the end of time."
Nangong Shi looked mad. He looked at Nan Jiao and said, "Why do you like him? Isn't the Crown Prince of Chu better than him?"
Nan Jiao's mouth twitched slightly.
You are trying to cause trouble!
Zhan Beiheng's handsome face turned dark and stinky, and he said in a sinister tone: "It seems that you like Chu very much. Then go to Chu. Qin will not welcome you!"
Nangong Shi smiled and said, "I don't like the State of Chu. I like wherever Nan Jiao is."
He just wanted to make him angry.
Zhan Beiheng glanced at him and said, "Whatever. She is my princess anyway and she will live with me till old age."
Nangong Shi suddenly laughed out loud.
"Grow old together? Have you resolved the life and death pigs in your bodies?" There was a malicious smile on Nangong Shi's fair and charming face, as if he was watching a show.
Zhan Beiheng frowned, "Do you know that there are life and death pigs in our bodies?"
Nan Jiao was surprised, "How do you know?"
The fact that there are life and death pigs in their bodies is known only to the Emperor's grandfather and his people, as well as Old Man Xiao and Xiao Fusheng from Miaojiang, and the Empress and her people.
Other outsiders don’t know.
Nangong Shi had a meaningful smile on his face, and kept everyone in suspense: "Guess?"
Nan Jiao glared at him angrily and said fiercely: "Hurry up and tell me, or I will drive you out of the capital of Qin State and expel you from Qianji Pavilion!"
“Hey, don’t be so cruel!” Nangong Shi screamed with his eyes wide open.
"If you don't tell me, do you think I would dare to do it?" Nan Jiao said with a smile.
The corner of Nangong Shi's mouth twitched violently. Of course he knew that she dared to do that. After all, he had been with her for so many years and knew that she was a man of her word.
"I have Miao blood in my body."
"You are from Miaojiang!" Nan Jiao was very surprised, but she couldn't sense any insects on him at all.
"Like you, I have Miao blood in my body."
"How do you know there are life and death parasites in our bodies?"
Nangong Shi threw her a coquettish look and said with a smile: "I am the Holy Son of Miaojiang. To be honest, we are a match made in heaven."
Nan Jiao: “…”
Unexpectedly, a Holy Son of Miao appeared.
Zhan Beiheng's cold face darkened. He didn't expect that this man was the Holy Son of Miao. No wonder he knew that there were life and death pigs in their bodies.
"You are not worthy at all." He snorted.
Nangong Shi looked at him and said with a smile, "When the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang and the Holy Son unite, the Life and Death Pests in their bodies will not act up, and the two of them can live together till old age."
"If the Saint is with another man, she will pass the Life and Death Pig to the other man. In the end, both of them will be tortured by the Life and Death Pig. If one of them wants to be freed from the Pig, he must die."
"Is there no other solution?" Nan Jiao felt a little depressed.
"Based on the information I know, there is no such thing." Nangong Shi said solemnly.
Nan Jiao: “…”
Nangong Shi looked at Zhan Beiheng, "If there is no solution in the end, what will you do?"
Zhan Beiheng looked at Nan Jiao beside him and said, "I will let her live."
"That's what a man does. I hope you can keep your word when the time comes." Nangong Shi was very satisfied with his answer and immediately looked at him with a higher opinion.
"I don't need you to let me live, you must live!" Nan Jiao glared at Zhan Beiheng. Did he think she would be happy if he let her live?
She is not from this world.
Maybe she will die and return to China.
She wouldn't let him die.
Zhan Beiheng held her in his arms, stroked the back of her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, we must all live well."
After saying this, he glared at Nangong Shi fiercely.
Why ask such questions and make them sad?
Nangong Shi curled his lips. He just wanted to know his choice and see if he was sincere to Nan Jiao. After all, she had been betrayed by someone she trusted so much.
"Okay, it's not the end yet. We can still look for other ways to solve the problem of the Life and Death Pig." Nangong Shi said with a smile.
Nan Jiao stepped away from Zhan Beiheng's arms and looked at Nangong Shi with red eyes, "I want to talk to you alone."
“Okay.” Nangong Shi blinked.
Zhan Beiheng frowned, "Why do you want to talk to him alone? Is there something I can't listen to?"
Nan Jiao glared at him, "I'm really angry about your choice just now, so I can't let you listen."
Zhan Beiheng: “…”
