wait for another year

In the evening, Zhao Xu greeted Zhao Hue and his wife who had arrived a few days ago.

To Zhao Hue's surprise, Zhao Xu actually asked someone to set up a screen, which was unique in the past.

"I used to meet my cousin a few times when I was in the boudoir, why is it that we are a family now, but they are so divided?" Ms. Shen has a bright and cheerful personality, and she is quite quick to talk.

Zhao Xu smiled, "I used to be a married woman, but now the situation is different, I'm afraid it's not reasonable."

Both Zhao Hue and Ms. Shen were startled, and when they looked at each other, great unease surged in their hearts—whether it was the Zhao family in Yingchuan or Shen Mi, the honor and disgrace of life and death in the new dynasty must be tied to Zhao Xu, if There was a rift between him and Xuanyuan Hui, and no one could please him.

"Don't panic," Zhao Xu looked at their faces, a little amused, "How old are you, and you still make such a fuss."

Zhao Huoqiang made a toast with a smile, "24 Congratulations, my cousin's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and he will lead our gentry to rule the world as soon as possible in the future."

Zhao Xu drank the wine, "Rule the world? That's what Mrs. Deng wants, not what I want."

Just as he was talking, someone came in, and said with a low eyebrow: "Princess, according to the regulations of our court, the prince is lucky to serve his concubine, and you need your seal."

Zhao Xu glanced at him lazily, "I have returned the treasure book and seal to the lord, you can let the lord cover it yourself. From now on, you don't need to ask me about Su Wang's mansion."

After the man left, Zhao Xu smiled languidly again, "When I was young, I read a book of travel notes in the Zangshu Pavilion of the Clan, which seemed to be called Wang Sunyou. Those half-official and half-hidden experts, with bamboo sticks and straw shoes, and a thin horse, just go there precariously. Of course, you have to bring enough money, otherwise how can you taste the delicacies of Kyushu Wanfang?"

Zhao Huo bowed his head and listened to him talking, feeling extremely sad and desolate in his heart—Although Su Wang and his wife were not considered harmonious, they had been side by side for ten years, and they had experienced life and death several times during that time. How depressed should I be in my heart, and I am still forced to smile here...

Suddenly feeling someone tugging at him, Zhao Hue looked at his wife, and saw Miss Shen's onion-like fingers were a little farther away——Zhao Xu's palm was flattened, pressed firmly on the seat, and seemed to be trembling slightly.

Zhao Hu couldn't stand it any longer, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but I still have some accounts that haven't been checked..."

Zhao Xu smiled, "Forget it, let's go, the business is important."

Seeing the husband and wife resigning hand in hand, and the servants evacuating the banquet, Zhao Xu felt nauseated and vomited most of the food he had eaten, just now he felt better.

"My lord?" Bai Su was full of worry.

Zhao Xu waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, you tell all the halberd bearers to retreat ten meters away, and you should also retreat."

Bai Su knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't ask any further questions, and retreated with the others.

In an instant, Zhao Xu was the only one left in the tent, extremely quiet, and could only hear the whistling wind in the distance.

The hustle and bustle was far away from him.

Just like Xuanyuan Hui, he can no longer be seen.

Zhao Xu blew out the candle, lay on her side on the couch, and took a deep breath.Although he is in good health recently, he feels pain everywhere, especially his chest, which is really piercing.

He suddenly remembered the matter of life distribution mentioned in Pei Jun's letter earlier. If it was not a lie by the national teacher, but it was true. ?

It's not that he didn't feel sad when he heard about it, but what can he do?

Just think it is owed to him, whether it is the nobles in the future, or Zhao Shijiu, if you can retreat, you can retreat.

Anyway, there is nothing in the world that he can put in his eyes and heart.

At first, something fleetingly flashed by the corner of his eyes, Zhao Xu wiped it away calmly, thinking that the rain came from nowhere, drifting from the sky and sea, and wet his clothes.

It is sweat or blood, even if it is the liver and brain, it will not be tears. The Yingchuan Zhao family does not have such useless things as tears.

Zhao Xu mocked himself and wanted to touch the jade pendant that Xuanyuan Hui had given him earlier, but suddenly thought that he had returned it to him a few days ago—the marriage lasted for more than ten years, but there were very few things to recall in the end.

In the darkness, Zhao Xu became more and more numb, not knowing whether he was lying down for an hour, a day, a month, a year, or a lifetime.

Hearing hurried footsteps outside, Zhao Xu stood up alertly and lit the candle.

The next moment, I saw Xuanyuan Hui stumbling in, his face flushed, and the corners of his eyes sparkling.

The clothes were in good condition, Zhao Xu slowly let out the breath that he had held for a long time.

But seeing the blood stains on the sleeves and front of the clothes again, Zhao Xu was startled and got up quickly to check.

As soon as Xuanyuan Hui saw him, he couldn't restrain himself any longer, and rushed towards him trembling all over.

Zhao Xu staggered, Kankan stopped and hugged him, seeing that he was not injured, he had already made up his mind about what had happened, and said softly, "Is it a meticulous work?"

The medicine was too strong, Xuanyuan Hui's voice trembled, "It's not..."

Zhao Xu raised her eyebrows, with an incredible guess in her mind, "You..."

"I don't know her, the former maid of Su Wang's mansion that Shouning found." Xuanyuan Hui's mind was already blurred, and he spoke intermittently. Come here, I...I can't..."

A living human life was wiped out like this, Zhao Xu should have questioned him, or felt sad for the innocent maidservant, but he felt a burst of ecstasy, "You killed her by accident?"

Xuanyuan Hui put his whole body on his body and nodded, "I took the medicine and felt uncomfortable..."

Zhao Xu pinched his chin, looked straight into those blue eyes, "Why not?"

Xuanyuan Hui's eyes were loose, and his tone was light but firm, "No one can do it except you."

Zhao Xu slowly closed his eyes, "Son?"

Xuanyuan Hui panted and sneered, "Let him go."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xu threw him on the couch. Zhao Xu looked at him coldly, "Have you figured it out? If you are honest with me today, you will go to provoke other people in the future, go to Qiongbi and go to hell..."

Xuanyuan Hui gasped even more, "You...you won't let...let me go?"

"I won't let you find me." Zhao Xu paused every word.

Xuanyuan Hui narrowed his eyes and smiled, his deep blue eyes under the candlelight even looked a little strange, "Princess is too worried...you know, I...can't treat others..."

He suddenly stretched out his hand and tore open half of Zhao Xu's clothes, and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear, "For you, I'm fine."

Zhao Xu stretched out his hand to loosen his hair, "Just try it."

I don't know if Xuanyuan Hui's medicine is too strong, unable to move, or there are other concerns, no matter Zhao Xu undressed him, or Zhao Xu overwhelmed him, until the last step, he just clung to Zhao Xu's neck without a trace. struggle.

Zhao Xu had read similar albums before, and couldn't bear to hurt him, so he used ointment. The ointment didn't know what kind of fragrance it was, but it was full of fragrance.

Even so, Xuanyuan Hui was still a little bit pained, but anyway, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was not too coquettish, so he interrupted with a smile, hiding the slightly wet corners of his eyes, "What kind of smell, it's not bad."

Zhao Xu kissed the corners of his flushed eyes, "You also know that my Zhao family likes white peonies. I heard that this kind of fragrance is the strongest among peonies, and it is called luminous white."

Looking at Xuanyuan Hui's snow-white skin under his clothes, Zhao Xu let out a muffled laugh, "It's the right scene, maybe next time we should try Qianpile Snow."

Xuanyuan Hui glared at him, frowned and urged, "Hurry up."

"Your Majesty's order, do you dare to disobey?"
