Chapter 11: Will these beautiful eyes shed tears? In the chest...
The cold tone sounded to everyone as the young King Xiao's endless doting on the beauty. But to Yan Shu, it sounded so cold that it made her heart tremble.
"Zhao Yuefu, I heard that you love listening to music and watching dance, so these dancers are a reward for you."
Zhao Lefu was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he was ecstatic and immediately stood up to express his gratitude.
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
The envoy from the Kingdom of Yan had obviously not expected this to happen, and his expression suddenly became awkward: "Your Majesty, King Xiao, you..."
Xiao Yu had a hint of a smile on his face. "Does Envoy Yan have any objections?"
"No, no, it's all up to His Majesty King Xiao." The envoy of the State of Yan dared not object and had to agree.
The dancers from the State of Yan were given to Zhao Yuefu, and the beauties sent by other countries were all given to me by Xiao Yu without exception.
The envoys were worried at first, but finally they felt relieved when they saw that Xiao Yu had not captured any of his beauties.
Only the envoy from the State of Yan could no longer laugh.
When he came to the Kingdom of Xiao this time, Queen Yan had specifically instructed him that the dancers he brought with him must be accepted by Xiao Yu.
Those dancers were all good spies who had received excellent training in the State of Yan. Now they were given to me by King Xiao. It was really a waste of talent.
Fortunately, there is a way out, but...
Thinking of this, the envoy of the State of Yan looked up at the beauty who was sitting in the seat of honor and toasting with King Xiao, and his heart was secretly relieved.
Yan Shu was not surprised by Xiao Yu's behavior. After all, Xiao Yu had done the same thing in his previous life. Although the process had changed, the result was still the same.
However, Yan Shu was not impressed by this kind of flattery at all.
The banquet was in full swing. Yan Shu drank one more glass of grape wine and felt a little dizzy. Fearing that she would lose control of herself due to drunkenness, she wanted to go out for some cool breeze. So she made an excuse to Xiao Yu to change her clothes and quietly left the hall.
But just as she reached the corridor outside the palace, she saw the envoy from the State of Yan hurried towards her.
"Princess Chaohua, please stay."
He called Yan Shu by the title she had received in the State of Yan. Yan Shu stopped and frowned slightly.
"What's the matter, Doctor Yan?"
"I have no intention of disturbing Your Highness. It is indeed the Queen who has something to tell Your Highness."
When Yan Shu heard King Yan, her brows furrowed even more.
"What is the Queen doing?"
"The Queen heard that after King Xiao Wei passed away, all concubines who were not favored were to be sent back, so she came to inquire about the Princess's arrangements for Wan Ji."
Yan Shu frowned: "Whether Wan Ji stays or leaves is up to King Xiao to decide."
Envoy Yan sighed upon hearing this, "Your Highness, the Queen wishes Wanji to remain in the Xiao Palace."
"Now that Your Highness is so favored by Prince Xiao, it shouldn't be difficult for him to leave behind a concubine."
Yan Shu raised her eyes, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "What if I don't want to stay?"
"Your Highness still needs to consider Huiji."
After the envoy finished speaking, he bowed and withdrew, leaving Yan Shu standing alone in the corridor, her heart as if it was burning.
She had planned everything, but she had never expected that Queen Yan would interfere in Wan Ji's fate and even threaten her with her mother.
Her mother, Hui Ji, was of humble status, kind and gentle, and had no ulterior motives. Now she was alone in the Yan Palace, and if she was bullied by Queen Yan, she would have no one to help her.
Although Yan Shu didn't want to keep Yan Qingwan, she was even more unwilling to gamble with her mother's life.
The girl had no choice but to think quietly for a while, and returned to the banquet after about a moment. But as soon as she walked to Xiao Yu, he pulled her into his arms.
"Where did you go?"
A low voice fell into her ears, and Yan Shu raised her bright almond eyes, as if to act coquettishly: "I was outside to dissipate the smell of alcohol. I'm sorry to have kept the king waiting for so long."
"Really? I thought Yanyan was having a secret meeting with her lover, and that made me wait for so long." Xiao Yu raised his hand and touched the girl's slightly cold cheek. His behavior was gentle, but his tone was cold.
Yan Shu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, thinking that Xiao Yu had known about her conversation with Envoy Yan.
But she changed her mind and thought again, even if Xiao Yu heard it, so what? She was being forced by someone, not the one who was harming anyone behind the scenes.
"Your Majesty is always making fun of me." Yan Shu raised the cup of grape wine and passed it to Xiao Yu's lips, "Then I will offer a toast to Your Majesty to apologize."
Xiao Yu lowered his head and drank the whole thing. Seeing that he didn't look angry, Yan Shu cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, I have one more request."
"When I married into the Xiao Kingdom, I brought a concubine with me. Now, according to ancestral customs, I must send her back to my home country. However, I will treat her like a sister. I beg Your Majesty to allow her to remain in the palace."
Although Yan Shu really didn't want Yan Qingwan to stay, for the sake of her mother's safety, she could only bear the pain and ask Xiao Yu for permission.
Xiao Yu's expression darkened when he heard this, and then he narrowed his eyes, "Since Yanyan is reluctant to leave, then just stay."
Although she got Xiao Yu's permission, Yan Shu was not happy.
After the banquet, Yan Shu returned to her bedroom and lay on the couch with a sad face. Qing Tao had followed her all the way today and naturally knew what had happened. Seeing the princess's gloomy face, she immediately spoke to comfort her.
"Princess, even if Wanji becomes your concubine, she is your concubine and can only serve you when you are unable to sleep with her. From now on, she will be subject to your orders. It is obvious that nothing can go beyond your control."
Yan Shu shook her head and sighed.
Having said that, once Yan Qingwan wins Xiao Yu's favor, it will be a piece of cake for her to get promoted in the future.
She is just a beauty now, and above the rank there are Madam and Queen. If Yan Qingwan is favored and given the title of Madam, according to her behavior in her previous life, the first person she would deal with would be her, Yan Shu.
What's more, Xiao Yu didn't really love her, and all this was just to flatter her to death. By then, Xiao Yu would hate her, and Yan Qingwan would dislike her. Back and forth, she was afraid that she would be sent to her death by a cup of poisoned wine again.
The more Yan Shu thought about it, the more worried she became. She had just been reborn for a few days, but there were wolves in front of her and tigers behind her, making her completely restless.
Seeing her princess sighing in silence, Qingtao was really helpless.
It's the time, it's the fate, you have to accept your fate when it's time.
Yan Shu forced herself to wash up, and when she lay down on the bed, she felt that the grape wine she drank at the banquet was gradually taking effect, so the girl could only fall asleep in a daze with full of annoyance.
…
The night was dark and thick, and the moonlight appeared and disappeared in the clouds.
The young king's clothes were stained with thick blood, and his dark eyes looked down at the steps, his eyes were completely cold.
The men lying limp on the ground covered their eyes and howled in pain, while not far away was the bloody eyeball that had been trampled into mud.
The situation is so horrific that one cannot bear to listen or watch any longer.
The eunuch Zhou Tong standing by couldn't help but shudder when he saw this situation.
Even though he knew the temperament of the master he had served over the years, he was still often shocked by these thunderous methods.
Today, these people had their eyes gouged out by the king himself after the banquet because they secretly peeked at Concubine Yan a few times during the service banquet.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Wailing and begging for mercy came one after another.
Xiao Yu wiped the blood stains on his face calmly, with indifference in his eyes.
"Get it clean."
Zhou Tong responded, and seeing Xiao Yu about to rush towards Baohua Palace, he immediately spoke up to dissuade him, "Your Majesty hasn't bathed yet. Going over like this will scare Concubine Yan."
Xiao Yu then stopped, looked down and saw the glaring bloodstains on his body, and frowned.
dirty.
She hated this bloody dirt the most.
Xiao Yu's eyelids drooped slightly and his tone was cold.
"Prepare some water."
After bathing, Xiao Yu went to Baohua Palace with still moisture on his body.
At this moment, Yan Shu seemed to be sleeping soundly on the huge bed.
But the pair of thin eyebrows on her rosy little face were furrowed, as if she was unhappy even in her dream.
The young king raised his hand, and his cold fingertips smoothed the uneasiness between the girl's brows, and then fell on the soft black hair. His long, bony fingers gently stroked her hair, and in an instant, the fingertips were filled with the soft fragrance of gardenia.
That was her usual ointment.
Sweet and light gardenia scent.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyelids slightly, lowered his head and kissed the strand of hair in his hand, his dark eyes faintly showing a hint of infatuation.
Why are there always people coveting his Shushu?
Of course, all those who covet Shushu deserve to die.
The tiny kisses fell from her hair to the girl's fair cheeks, as light as a dragonfly touching the water, without being noticed.
Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, Xiao Yu's hot heart beat in his chest, and a very soft murmur escaped from his throat.
"Shushu... please like me soon."
He can't wait any longer.
He couldn't wait to see his Shushu's reaction when she found out that the person she fell in love with was the lowly proton she once despised.
It must be very painful.
The man's eyes darkened and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
What kind of pain would that be?
Xiao Yu's fingertips fell on the girl's thin eyelids, and the light in her eyes flickered.
Will these beautiful eyes shed tears? Will this beating heart in my chest ache?
Will his Shushu cry and regret pushing him into the snake cave with her own hands?
There was a dark look in Xiao Yu's eyes.
How could his Shushu pay attention to anyone other than him?
How do they match?
Yan Shu was sleeping in a daze. She always felt a chill in her dreams, as if someone was peeping at her. No matter how she tried to hide, she couldn't escape the sticky and moist gaze.
Yan Qingwan suddenly appeared in front of her, smiling and holding the cup of poisoned wine, slowly approaching her step by step.
"Yan Shu, Yan Shu, even if you are reborn, you still can't beat me in this life. People like you will only have one way to go, and that is death!"
After saying that, Yan Qingwan smiled and poured the poisoned wine into Yan Shu's mouth. Yan Shu struggled desperately, but the wine glass was getting closer and closer.
"Go away!"
The girl on the couch screamed in surprise, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She was still in shock when she caught a glimpse of a figure at the head of the bed. She was so scared that she was about to scream, but someone quickly covered her lips.
"It's me."
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, quickly hiding the fanaticism in his eyes.
Yan Shu finally calmed down after hearing that familiar, deep voice. She couldn't help but complain in her heart, wondering why this person always came when she was asleep. Fortunately, she didn't say anything strange in her sleep today, otherwise she would have to rack her brains to make up something else.
"When did the king come?" Yan Shu rubbed her sleepy eyes gently, glanced out the window, and saw that the sky was still dark.
She thought Xiao Yu would not come tonight.
Xiao Yu did not answer, but raised his hand and gently touched the girl's sweaty cheek with the back of his hand.
"Nightmare?"
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, remembering the dream she had just had, and nodded slowly.
"I dreamed that someone wanted to kill me. Fortunately, the king came." The little girl hugged the man's waist coquettishly, and her pretty little face was pressed against his chest obediently.
