Chapter 703 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 63
No matter how she cried and screamed, the man in the dream didn't even look at her. He kicked her away and walked out the door without looking back.
He Miaomiao wanted to chase after him, but found that her legs could not move. She looked down and saw a pair of bloody baby hands emerging from the ground, tightly grasping her ankles.
"Mother...why didn't you wait for me..."
A tender child's voice sounded in her ears, strangely gentle.
He Miaomiao's eyes narrowed into pinholes, and she desperately kicked the little hand away with her feet:
"You monster, I'm not your mother, get out! Get out!!"
"Mother, don't you want me again?"
The baby's voice sounded gloomy and full of loss, and beneath the loss, there was a hint of anger.
again?
He Miaomiao was horrified for a moment, remembering the child she used to frame Meng Changxi.
She held her head and broke down crying:
"No, I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to give up on you. It's all Meng Changxi's fault. She was the one who blocked my way. She was the one who made me give up on you..."
"You don't want me anymore... You don't want me anymore..."
The baby repeated this sentence over and over again, and his tone became more and more uncontrolled.
The weird feeling in He Miaomiao's heart became stronger and stronger. She lowered her head cautiously and saw that the hand on the ground had turned into a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.
"ah!!!"
She couldn't help but scream, but the mouth on the ground opened, pounced on her and bit her head!
He Miaomiao woke up with a scream, her whole body covered in cold sweat. She looked down at her feet and found that there was no monster at her feet. She breathed a sigh of relief and tears flowed down her face.
"My lady, are you having a nightmare?"
He Miaomiao ignored the palace maid and was still immersed in the fear brought by the baby. When she cried until she was exhausted, her rationality gradually returned.
"No... I can't fall out of favor, I can't fall out of favor..."
She still remembers the look Chu Tuo gave her in her dream and can't forget it.
………
Quan Jiu was not surprised to hear that He Miaomiao was still pestering Chu Tuo.
Shen Lang was content to eat soft rice: "Madam is really a brilliant thinker. I admire you very much."
Quan Jiu lay on the chaise longue: "It's not enough, add more fuel to the fire."
Three days later, He Miaomiao had an argument with Chu Tuo's favorite concubine in the back garden, and accidentally pushed the concubine into the icy lake.
Chu Tuo was furious and sent for the imperial physician to see him. The final conclusion he came to was:
The imperial concubine has caught a cold and may not be able to get pregnant in the future.
According to people at the scene, as soon as the news came out, Chu Tuo slapped He Miaomiao and scolded her as a vicious woman!
Prime Minister He tried to plead for his daughter, but Chu Tuo became annoyed when he saw the He family. Not only did he show no mercy, but he also killed He Miaomiao in a rage.
………
After hearing the news, Quan Jiu focused on the imperial concubine:
"Is this a bit too much?"
Chen Lang: "Empress Yu is not a pushover. She has taken more lives than He Miaomiao."
Quan Jiu was relieved.
Chen Lang pinched the back of her hand and said, "Your husband will have to go to court tomorrow."
Quan Jiu rolled his eyes at him: "So?"
Shen Lang leaned against the table in a "weak" manner: "The court is dangerous, Madam, remember to protect me."
Following her, he learned some new words.
Quan Jiu's face showed a fierce look: "Okay, I will tie you up and send you to Chu Tuo tomorrow."
Shen Lang laughed softly.
…
Now that Chen Lang had recovered, she had no reason to go to the East Factory again. For three consecutive days, she stayed obediently in the Yangxin Palace.
But at night, someone still climbed through the window and slipped into her bed with ease, calling it "curing illness."
Chu Tuo found her on the tenth day after she was deposed.
He hadn't slept well for many days because of the He family's affairs, and there was a faint layer of dark circles under his eyes.
"My dear, you said you would never be a concubine. Now that the throne is vacant, I have fulfilled my promise to you."
Quan Jiu knew the answer but still asked, "What does your Majesty mean?"
"I want to marry you."
The air in the room was quiet for a moment.
Quan Jiu resumed pounding the medicine and lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty is really a joker."
Chu Tuo came in front of her and stared at her white jade mask:
"My dear, the sun and the moon can testify that I am completely devoted to you. No matter whether you are beautiful or ugly, I will never leave you."
Quan Jiu suddenly recalled the promise Chu Tuo had made to Meng Changxi.
"Princess, time may pass, but my true love for you will never change."
Resisting the urge to vomit, Quan Jiu pondered for a moment and spoke.
"I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm past the age of being fond of sweet talk. If Your Majesty wants to marry me, then show some sincerity."
Chu Tuo agreed immediately: "Okay, you wait."
It doesn’t matter who you marry.
Marrying a girl with a purple star is much more cost-effective than marrying a rich lady.
Anyway, there are so many concubines in the harem, he can just find a few beautiful ones when the time comes.
After agreeing to Quan Jiu, Chu Tuo took action quickly.
"Since ancient times, only princes and princesses have been granted fiefs. This time, I have made an exception and granted Ancheng to you, my dear minister. What do you think of this sincere gesture?"
Quan Jiu didn't even glance at the map.
"Ancheng is remote. Even if I wanted to manage it, I wouldn't be able to. Your Majesty gave Ancheng to me for this reason, right?"
It seemed that he had given her unlimited love, but in fact, the management rights of Kishi City were still in his hands.
Chu Tuo frowned: "I haven't really thought about it that much, I just think that Ancheng is close to the sea, and if you want to travel by boat, it will be more convenient..."
Quan Jiu remained silent.
Chu Tuo carefully observed her expression, fearing that she would misunderstand him, so he simply spread out the map and showed his sincerity:
"How about this, you pick a city outside the capital?"
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. After all, when the time comes, she will be his, so won't she be at his mercy?!
Quan Jiu's eyes moved across the map: "I don't really understand..."
Her fingertips moved around the map, which made Chu Tuo frightened. Finally, her finger stopped at a city.
"How about here? Ancheng."
Chu Tuo frowned.
Ancheng is the second-to-last checkpoint in the battle to break through Meng State. If you say it's important, it's not as important as Rongcheng, which is the first-to-last checkpoint. But if you say it's not important, it's the only way to break through Meng State...
Quan Jiu lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you want to regret it? It's okay, I just saw that this place is close to the capital, so I pointed randomly. If Your Majesty is embarrassed, don't pay attention to my nonsense. Let's just pretend that nothing happened today..."
Having said that, the indifference between her brows reappeared.
Chu Tuo had finally managed to warm her heart, so naturally he was reluctant to let it go to waste.
"No, I am the Son of Heaven. How can I go back on my word? As long as you are happy, I am willing to give away not only Ancheng but also Rongcheng."
