Madam, she is delicate and frail, and she must be pampered by the sinister prince.

I thought that the late emperor really helped the imperial concubine take care of this little girl, but in fact it was just to preserve his reputation.

"To cut the grass, we need to get rid of the roots." Xie Qiong frowned and said, "The late emperor understood this truth, and you and I should understand it too."

As a royal person, everything belongs to the royal family, so how can we have an affair with children?

Xie Qiong said: "Just as the late emperor did not do anything to you, now I only have a younger brother like you."

"Zhongxiao, she's just a woman. What does she mean compared to the power of the Xie family?"

"You still have a long life ahead of you. You have power, fame, descendants, wives and concubines. It's not worth it for just one woman."

Xie Zhongxiao's face was tense and he knelt straight.

"Brother Huang knows that I will not rebel."

Not now, not in the future.

"My brother has never thought about the throne. My father told me that at any time, I must do something and not do something." Xie Chongxiao said calmly, "When I married my wife, I said that I would never leave her for the rest of my life. If I give up, I will definitely take care of her and protect her, and I will never break my promise throughout my life."

"You -" Xie Qiong said angrily, "this kind of infatuation and soft-heartedness is the last thing a man's family should have. Open your eyes and look at this great country, the country, the country, there is nothing more important than a woman, Zhongxiao, you have to see it for yourself That’s—”

"My brother can't look away." Xie Zhongxiao said stubbornly, "If the emperor doesn't trust her, he can find a reason to execute me. By then she will be just an ordinary woman, so the emperor can rest assured."

"You!" Xie Qiong really wanted to beat him up, and after careful consideration, she was willing to compromise, "I only have a younger brother like you." He sighed, "Then you decide what to do."

"My brother will make peace with her." Xie Chongxiao said, "My brother will guard Yunzhong. Unless there is a change in the court, I will never come back."

"Do you really want to?"

"I am willing." Xie Zhongxiao paused and said, "But please, my dear brother, can you save my wife's life."

The two were silent for a long time, and Xie Qiong asked someone to take out the edict left by the late emperor.

He still remembered that when the late emperor was dying, he still shouted the imperial concubine's maiden name inarticulately.

Tenderly remembering the most unworthy lover in my life.

"Jingrong, Jingrong, I can't help you."

In the end, the queen will be deposed and buried together with Concubine Guo.

But so what, with such affection, the late emperor was still worried that the son born to the imperial concubine would have complaints against him in the future, fearing that the imperial concubine, the person beside him, would secretly harm him.

Love and fear never conflict.

Xie Qiong burned the imperial edict with her own hands, "Your situation since childhood was not much better than mine, but you are willing to give up a great future for a woman. How can this affection not be touching?"

"Forget it, since you can give up the glory and wealth of Luoyang, I will let you go and have a try." Xie Qiong said, "Go, after all, General Guo is still your father-in-law. It is reasonable and reasonable for you to go and guard it until the time comes. I will let you come back."

"Yes."

Xie Chongxiao left the city without looking back.

He didn't know when his time would be.

Even if he can come back, it doesn't mean he can marry the girl he loves.

Qin Zijin comforted him: "Don't be too sad. After all, you are in Yunzhong and can flex your muscles. I heard that Yunzhong has sent people to sue for peace, and envoys will come to Luoyang soon."

With Xie Chongxiao's ability, the court would not let him lead troops outside for so long.

Just waiting for an opportunity.
-
After ten months, many people came to Luoyang, and it was said that they were envoys from Yunzhong.

"The Muyun clan has finally surrendered. I heard that they lost miserably in these two battles. Many people exchanged their sons for food."

"The cold winter is coming soon. Maybe the Muyun clan's cattle and sheep won't be able to survive. They are definitely coming."

"I heard that the patriarch of the Muyun clan is a very beautiful woman. She also has a younger brother. Maybe we will send a princess to get married this time." "But where is the princess in my court? I don't know who it will be when the time comes. My daughter is so unlucky that she needs to be sent away for marriage."

"Who knows, it's not my girl's turn anyway."

At this time, Nie Huating was busy with the business of joining the restaurant into the Chamber of Commerce. In a place like Luoyang, without the protection of powerful people, she would not be able to survive for long and would have to be at the mercy of others.

At noon, Nie Huating invited several adults from the Shaofu Supervisor to come to the restaurant for a gathering.

"Mrs. Nie, let me tell you." An official said, "Everything about your restaurant is good, but the name is too strange. Why don't you change it so that it sounds better."

Several people were chattering, and Nie Huating replied with a smile, "With the protection of several adults, there is no need to change the name. Come and serve some wine to the adults."

The waiter came up with a wine plate and lifted the red cloth, revealing neat pieces of gold.

"My restaurant is entirely dependent on the care of a few adults. Please accept your kindness."

"Hahahahahahaha, Mrs. Nie deserves to be rich at a young age. Most people cannot afford such financial resources."

"Yes, a woman like Madam is really capable."

They said half-coldly and half-hotly. Nie Huating understood the meaning of their words, smiled and continued to drink.

Nie Huating had a good drinker, and several people took turns toasting.

After a while, she couldn't help but bid farewell to everyone and went out to enjoy the breeze.

As soon as I went out, I started vomiting.

"Why are you doing this, Madam?" Ah Tang said distressedly, "Don't worry about what those stinky men are doing. They are clearly bullying Madam."

"It doesn't matter if it's a man, or if it's a woman." Nie Huating said, "This life has to go on, and it's not easy for everyone. Why should they let me go, just because I'm a woman?"

Ah Tang looked at her flushed face and hesitated to speak.

In the past, Madam, how had she ever been wronged like this?

When the Marquis is here, if these people don't have a good look towards the Madam, the Marquis will probably skin them.

Nie Huating felt really dizzy, "I'll go to the backyard and stay for a while."

"Ah."

It was rare for Nie Huating to be alone alone, and the wind made his head hurt.

She hasn't been sleeping well these past few days and always feels restless.

Like, something is going to happen.

She had gone through so much trouble to get in touch with the Shaofu Supervisor, and she absolutely couldn't afford to lose at this time.

She turned around and suddenly saw a malicious face.

Nie Huating frowned and said, "Master Wang, why did you come out?"

Mr. Wang looked at her for a few times and said with a smile, "Madam is feeling uncomfortable, of course I have to come out and have a look." He then tried to put his hand on her shoulder, "How is Madam? Do you want me to find a doctor?"

Nie Huating's eyebrows immediately turned cold, "I don't need it, Mr. Wang, please come back!"

Mr. Wang saw her blushing face and was impatient. He immediately wanted to report it to her, "What should I do if you are here?" This woman is so beautiful and has money around her. "With your skin and figure, you can't help but It would be a shame to find someone.”

Nie Huating struggled and said, "Here comes someone! Let me go!"

"I know that you and Marquis Changping have disdain for others. Don't worry, I will take you back as my stepmother once the one in my family dies!"
