Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 188
Xia Chixiao was slightly startled.

Chu Nanning said openly and honestly: "The look in your eyes today is very strange. Could it be that you went to the north and didn't find the person you were looking for? That's why you looked at me like this because you felt you were in the same boat as me?"

Xia Chixiao's mouth twitched slightly, how should he answer this?
He had a wine jar on each hand and raised it: "Do you want it?"

"Thank you!"

Xia Chixiao handed her a jar.

I just got this from Master Wu Jian.

Master Wujian is like a wandering cloud and wild crane in Nanshan Temple, but his seniority is as high as Master Wuwu. Now the presiding masters of Nanshan Temple are all his nephews.

The two are the only remaining monks of the unknown generation.

The difference is that Master Wuwu is over seventy years old, has white eyebrows and white beard, and looks very old.

Master Wujian is only 29 years old now, and he often travels out of the temple.When I traveled to the northern border four years ago, I met Xia Chixiao.

Sleek and delicate wine jar, packed in a pound.As soon as I took it in my hand, the wine smell came out of the bottle, and the aroma was alluring.

Chu Nanning felt that the wine was really suitable for the occasion.What's more appropriate than having a glass of wine when you're in a bad mood?

She opened the lid and the aroma became more intense.

Taking a sip, the clear and sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue. She narrowed her eyes slightly in enjoyment, and the gloomy color in her eyes faded a little.

Xia Chixiao looked at her drinking, free and easy, showing her valiant demeanor in her movements. Somehow, he blurted out a sentence: "You said that you and your husband were separated in the north. Do you hope to find him?"

"Hope!" Chu Nanning said generously, "I hope he is still alive, not injured, not sick, and appears in front of me whole and healthy!"

Xia Chixiao felt happy when she heard the second half of Chu Nanning's sentence: "I'll wait for him to come back and make peace!"

Xia Chixiao's heart, which had just been flying high, suddenly fell to the ground. His voice was dry: "Why?"

It was probably because of a low mood that could never go back, and the Sanskrit music in the Buddhist temple at this moment made people calm, or maybe it was because Xia Chixiao was willing to take orders to suppress bandits in the north and to personally find a girl in the countryside. Wife, it makes her think that he has a good character, or maybe the wine is intoxicating.

Chu Nanning smiled and said: "No reason, probably because we are strangers in the first place."

She drank again, this time taking a big gulp.

Her answer revealed a lot of information. Others would have asked, but Xia Chixiao knew the inside story too well. He sighed in his heart. The face of the woman in front of him was so familiar. They have the most intimate relationship in the world, but they are also mutually exclusive. strangeness.

He also took a sip of his wine.

It was Bai Luxue brewed exclusively by Master Wujian. They drank it freely in the north four years ago. What they drank was full of pride, and what they drank was like-minded people and dreams for the future.

But at this moment, the clearly mellow wine felt a bit bitter to him.

He paused and then said: "Is it because you have something in your heart that you want to make peace with?"

Chu Nanning laughed: "What kind of family does it belong to? Isn't it good to live alone?"

Xia Chixiao was stunned and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

He seemed to have forgotten one thing. A special woman like Chu Nanning could bring her grandmother to the capital from the north, settle down, own her own property, and make Anyuan Hou beg her to recognize her back. How can an ordinary person fall in her eyes if she has the ability, means, ideas and opinions?

How could she accommodate ordinary people?
He raised the wine jar and motioned to her.

Chu Nanning smiled and touched him, and said, "Aren't you afraid of being kicked out when you drink in the temple?"

Xia Chixiao smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, there are few people here. Even if a master sees it, he will pretend that he didn't see it!"

The two of them were drinking, bumping into each other from time to time, looking at each other and smiling, feeling quite at ease.

The breeze blew slowly over, blowing away the smell of alcohol, and they chatted one after another.

Xia Chixiao's mood gradually calmed down, which was good. He knew who she was, so he slowly approached her, letting her notice him bit by bit, and then slowly accepted him. Maybe he still had a chance.

If he told her the truth directly and she asked for divorce, he couldn't refuse, and he would never be able to get close to her!

At the Anyuan Hou Mansion, Chu Yunzhao was first surprised when he learned that the young prince wanted to see him, and then he was overwhelmed with joy.

When she was very young, her mother asked her to manage her talent name, and he put a lot of effort into creating the name of a talented woman for himself.

Although most of the poems she wrote or the paintings that were circulated were given to her by her mother, she was indeed not very talented after so many years of hard work.It was probably because of this fame that the young prince knew about her.

If she had the young prince's own eyes, why should she care about others?

She dressed up specially and looked at her delicate makeup in the mirror, as well as the exquisite brocade crepe dress that was the first to come out of Xian Shang Ju. She stood up with satisfaction.

Zhao Yuan smiled happily and said: "My Yun'er is so beautiful, this dress really suits you!"

When such an outstanding Yun'er meets the young prince, she will definitely impress him deeply.

Chu Yunzhao said: "Mother, is the young prince in the front hall now?"

"No, it's in your father's study!"

Chu Yunzhao was surprised: "Dad's study doesn't allow others to enter, doesn't it?"

"That means ordinary people are not allowed to enter. What is the status of the young prince? Of course you can go. Besides, the study is quiet and elegant, which is worthy of the status of the young prince. How can a proud man like him have to compete with those ordinary people? Can't we just drink tea in the hall like everyone else?"

Chu Yunzhao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "So, the young prince is the only one in the study."

Zhao Yuan said: "Of course, today's guests are all ordinary, who else is worthy of your father using the study room to receive them?"

Chu Yunzhao said: "Where are the two people you and dad mentioned?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Yun'er, the young prince is here, why do you care about those two people?"

"Who is that young prince?"

"The son of King Zhennan, the only king with a different surname in our dynasty, he has a distinguished status, and the young prince is his heir!"

Chu Yunzhao made a decision in her heart, and she suddenly came close to Zhao Yuan and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhao Yuan was startled and hesitated for a moment, but her eyes soon changed: "Have you really decided?"

"It's decided, mother, you must help me!" Chu Yunzhao said with determination in his eyes: "Mother, if you help me, I will definitely be able to do it."

Zhao Yuan paused and nodded slowly: "Your father also said that wealth can only be found in danger. Then let's give it a try!"

In Anyuanhou's study, the young prince sat lazily on a chair. Although he did not sit down, his status meant that no one would dare to question his etiquette even if he was twisted into a twist.

He looked carefree.

He Li Xiuyuan is now a weakling, and it has been three years since he was named the Little Prince.

His father, King Li Gaoqing of Zhennan, had five sons.His father's favorite was his concubine Liu, whose son was his second brother, only two months younger than him.

Five years ago in the summer, his mother-in-law died.

The doctor said he died of illness, but he knew he wasn't.

The mother-in-law should also know, so the mother-in-law adopted the third and fourth brothers into her own name and recorded them as legitimate sons!He probably wanted his third and fourth brothers to help him in the future.

Relying on her father's favor, Liu Fangfei paid less and less attention to her mother and concubine in recent years.

His presence originally blocked the way for Concubine Liu's son.Now, the mother-in-law resorted to such a move before she died, which made Concubine Liu half-dead angry.He asked his father to investigate the cause of his mother's death, but he refused to investigate.He went to investigate secretly and got the evidence.

After all, it was Concubine Liu who was paving the way for her son.

But when the evidence was presented to his father, he chose to protect Concubine Liu.Father said that he should not use some forged so-called evidence to try to frame Concubine Liu!He also said that Concubine Liu was gentle, gentle and the most kind-hearted.How could it be possible to harm the mistress?

He turned a blind eye to such detailed evidence.

Li Xiuyuan knew his father's attitude.

My father doesn’t care about the death of his mother and concubine!
Concubine Liu was his true love, and in the second month after his mother's death, Concubine Liu had to be straightened up.

However, a letter of seal was requested to be delivered to the capital, and the emperor replied: The concubine's death has been less than one year, so it is suspended.

But what difference does it make?Concubine Liu took complete control of the palace's backyard and began to expel the people left behind by her mother's concubine and place her own people there.

Over the years, Concubine Liu has been encouraging her father to make her second brother the heir apparent.

Your father thinks so too, right?It's just that the eldest son is here, so he is afraid that the emperor will not agree to the second son's request. Moreover, the emperor has rejected the issue of Fu Zhengfei, so he can't ask for the title again in a short time.

After confirming his father's attitude, Li Xiuyuan turned into a shabby dude who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

He often got drunk or slept in a flower house.He was captured by the King of Zhennan and was beaten several times without changing his mind.

King Zhennan gave up on him.

Li Xiuyuan sneered, even if he made further progress, his father would still choose his second brother in the end.The so-called giving up after discipline is just a superficial article.

King Zhennan took his second son with him to teach him personally and gave him some things in the palace.

And he had never let Li Xiuyuan do these things.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care at all and continued to sleep among flowers and willows, living a very absurd life.

But the peaceful backyard that King Zhennan thought was not that peaceful.

His nine-year-old son died in the lotus pond.

The final evidence points to his second son.

The king of Zhennan ordered his second son to be beaten twenty times, and the matter was revealed.

Later, disputes suddenly broke out between the second son, the third son and the fourth son.

The third and fourth sons are all registered in the name of their legitimate mother, and are more qualified than the second son to ascend the throne. They are about the same age, and both have powerful mothers behind them.

For a while, the backyard of the palace was very lively.

A year later, they were all dead.

On the surface, it seems that the three of them are consuming each other, but in fact, it is the dandy eldest son who is working behind the scenes, killing people with borrowed knives.

When King Zhennan found out, he was furious. This son was so vicious, how could he keep him?

However, at that time, King Zhennan discovered a fact that made him even more angry. He could no longer give birth.The princess gave him Juezi Decoction as soon as she discovered that he was poisoned.And after drinking it for half a month, it was already impossible to cure it.

Li Xiuyuan actually became his only remaining bloodline.

King Zhennan had no choice but to comfort himself by thinking that if he had such means and abilities, why not worry about not being able to carry forward the entire Li family and protect the palace from decline for hundreds of years.

He also knew that his initial refusal to investigate the princess's poisoning and his subsequent indifference to Liu Fangfei's plot to harm his son had caused his son to separate from him.

He immediately invited him to be crowned Crown Prince, and even specifically invited him to be crowned Young Prince.

This is a sign of goodwill, but also a sign of weakness.

There was no need to hide Li Xiuyuan's viciousness and cruel methods. In the entire southern region, everyone's expression changed when they talked about this moody, murderous, and unpredictable young prince.

Even King Zhennan was a little afraid of him.

A year ago, he felt that there was nothing interesting in southern Xinjiang. It happened to be his grandfather's birthday, so he took people to Qinzhou and traveled all the way. In Qingning Mansion, he met a very interesting refugee woman.

The woman was beautiful and stubborn, like a flower in the sky. She was obviously dressed in rags, but her eyes were like the autumn moon and spring water, which made his heart flutter.

In Southern Xinjiang, as long as he likes a woman, he will kidnap her back to the palace, but this is not Southern Xinjiang.

He ordered his followers to arrest him, but the woman scolded him for being rude and said that she was already married and her husband was a young general in the army.

When others heard this, they criticized one after another. The soldiers of the army defended their families and the country and fought bloody battles. How could they humiliate their families at will?

Looking at the woman's stubborn and indifferent eyes, he suddenly found it very interesting. Look, she is so thin, but her bones are very hard.Her husband was not around, but she looked proud when he mentioned it.

A bad taste suddenly arose in his heart.

Are you proud of your husband?Then she will be ashamed to mention it from now on.

He sent people to spread rumors that the woman's husband was a spy in the army and that the battle in the north would be defeated because he took advantage of the spy in the army who leaked the secret.

Those stupid people are really stupid.

There is no name, and there is no real evidence for the information spread.

But those people hate spies to the core, regardless of whether they are true or false.Wherever the woman and her grandmother passed, the people threw rotten leaves and stones, and they couldn't even leave the house.

Looking at the sorrow, anger and misery in her eyes, he felt that it was not enough.

Aren't bones hard?

Then destroy it!

Find a random prisoner on death row in the prison, tell him to bite you with a poisonous mouth, and then put him in prison.

As long as she is willing to let go, he can fish the person out.

He waited with interest, like an experienced hunter waiting for a small beast that was about to fall into a trap.

Unfortunately, he received news that his grandfather was seriously ill, and he could only leave Qingning Mansion in a hurry.When he went back after attending the funeral of his grandfather, the prefect of Qingning said that the woman was dead.

Why did he die?Such a beautiful and special face, such stubborn and hateful eyes, different from all the women he had seen before, teasing her was like teasing a little beast with its teeth and claws.

He hasn't had enough.

He sent someone to check, and sure enough, the person was not dead, but he was no longer in Qingning Mansion.

It is said that he has arrived in the capital.

That would be fun, so when the emperor’s birthday came and the princes of each vassal were asked to come to the capital, he came happily!

Footsteps came from outside the study.

Li Xiuyuan's lips couldn't help but curl up, "Little beauty, do you still remember this little king?"I don’t know what your expression will be like when we meet again. I’m looking forward to it!
　Thank you to Yuluojiang North and South Piaoxue for the reward of 500 starting coins! !Thank you! !

　　I have guests at home, so I don’t have time to type during the day, so I may have to update at night these days!
　　Sorry everyone!
