What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 127

"Second brother, stop, I will protect you from death," Xie Chenyu said bluntly.

Xie Chenke snorted.

"Stop? Will you let me go? Don't even think about it"

Thousands of mountains and rivers have reached the final hurdle. Winners and losers will die at worst. He has nothing to miss.

"Are you sure?"

Xie Chenke was speechless.

The desire to survive is instinct, even animals want to see the world for the last time, let alone humans.

"If I could protect you from death, would you be willing?"

"Why should I trust you, and why do you let me go? Killing me is justifiable counter-rebellion. You are already the king of Chu, and the next step is the crown prince."

"It's not for you, it's for the 8 people who died in vain. You have no way out. I cut off the food and grass. They either died in battle or starved to death."

"What does this have to do with me? I'm having a bad time, and no one should think about it!"

Xie Chenke rolled his eyes, like a white-eyed wolf in the deep mountains, finally showing his sharp mouth and fangs.

"Ask you one last time, are you willing to surrender?"

Xie Chenyu was seriously injured, wrapped in layers of gauze, and his standing posture was precarious, like a soldier returning from the sunset, exhausted and vulnerable after victory.

Xie Chenke remained silent.

"That is willing"

Xie Chenyu relaxed and sat down next to Xie Chenke, with gauze-wrapped hands resting heavily on his brother's shoulders, wanting to tell him that he would definitely keep him safe.

Suddenly a cold light flashed, and the sharp thumb-long dagger pierced Xie Chenyu's left chest.

In the blink of an eye, it will pierce through the flesh and reach the heart, if you rotate it harder and stir it a few times, Xie Chenyu will die within three breaths.

At the critical moment, Xie Chenyu bent down and turned around, dodged the dagger with a very tricky posture, stood up straight, kicked the dagger away, and pushed Xie Chenke to the ground.

"Second brother still doesn't believe younger brother"

"Damn! I'd rather believe the beggars on the street than you. It wasn't you who got in the way. I've already been dressed in a dragon robe!"

Xie Chenyu smiled indifferently, and let Lu Chen rush in and tie Xie Chenke up with hemp rope.

"It doesn't matter, you lose after all"

"But my promise will not change, I will save your life, but only for this"

Xie Chenke laughed wildly, trembling violently.

"Do you think you can have the last laugh? Don't be too happy, the queen's old lady will not let you succeed, the Wang family is not so easy to fool, old six, old six, I will watch how you die from the sky"

"One day, the Wang family will rebel, kill them, kill their whole family!"

"I told you I wouldn't let you die"

-

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the capital was relieved and the war ended.

The prince of Chu made great achievements, the government and the public were shaken, and the world looked sideways.

"It turns out that the King of Chu will not only go to Ruyifang"

"Can't you see that Prince Chu, who has always been famous for his flamboyance, can actually fight?"

"I heard that Prince Chu knows a little bit of kung fu before, but I thought it was a trick to embroider legs."

"Now it seems that the emperor still has the discerning eye"

The uproarious discussions raised Xie Chenyu's reputation to an unprecedented peak.

When the court hall was full of flowers to celebrate and receive the reward, the women in the backyard were not idle.

The glory of her husband brought great satisfaction to Wang Xiangjun.

She was dressed in the grand concubine Chu's service, her hair full of pearls and emerald flowers, and she entered the palace to pay her respects.

Pepper Room Palace.

"Auntie, the prince asked me to bring you a message, saying that the prince's rebellion has subsided, so you can take care of yourself."

"Auntie, my husband is very considerate to me. He hasn't been home for many days. When he came back, he came to see me in the main courtyard. She didn't even look at the women in the backyard."

"Xiangjun can have today, thanks to my aunt for making it perfect"

The queen opened her eyes in a daze, and met the eyes as bright as stars.

"as long as you are happy"

"I hope you... will always be this happy"

Wang Xiangjun looked at Xie Jingzhi's absence, and felt wronged for his cousin.

"I'm not talking about aunt, how can you promise your cousin to the Zheng family? She is the first princess, and she has a better man to match her. The Zheng family is already a marginal figure, where do you get the qualifications?"

The queen hooked the corners of her lips weakly.

"Your sister is spoiled by me, she is not as lucky as you"

"Xiang Jun, I have watched your sisters grow up these years. In the past, you saluted your sister, and your sister will salute you in the future. You... need to take care of her more"

"I know, don't worry, aunt"

What ambition looks like, the queen has seen too much.

Disappointed, she closed her eyes and waved her hands, turned over and fell asleep.

After leaving Jiaofang Palace, she went to Xie Jingzhi's palace.

Seeing her cousin embroidering the dowry, while the maids and nuns were pouring tea and charcoal from time to time, it was the first time she went in directly without letting the notification.

"Cousin, why don't you do it yourself, and leave it to the sewing bureau?"

Xie Jingzhi paused, and a moment of surprise flashed across her heart.

Wang Xiangjun never called his cousin at any time before, and he always talked about respectful princesses.

This is the first time to call my cousin directly, and it is also the first time to come in independently.

Before waiting for a response, Wang Xiangjun reached out to the red brocade on the embroidery frame, stroking the delicate patterns of mandarin ducks playing in the water back and forth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, when did my cousin's embroidery work so well? No wonder I haven't seen my cousin go out for a long time. She is preparing for marriage."

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Xie Jingzhi moved her hand away without a trace, and covered the wedding dress with a velvet cloth.

"My mother asked me to get ready for marriage. After the new year, I will..."

"Yo yo, my cousin is shy, yes, you are still a girl who has not left the court after all"

Speaking in the posture of a cousin, from time to time she showed the temperament of the sixth emperor's sister-in-law, as if this palace was already the world of her husband, and she was already the queen of the mother's world.

"What's the matter, cousin?"

"It's nothing, I'll go to the palace to see the queen mother, and I have to go out later"

"There are too many congratulatory gifts in the house, and they are piled up everywhere. It's very annoying. I have to clean up later, otherwise it will be difficult to move in the future..."

Seemingly realizing something was wrong, she covered her lips in embarrassment.

"Look what I said"

"Cousin, hurry up and embroider, I'm the one who delayed you"

Wang Xiangjun seemed to be a flower peacock who raised his head and won a battle, striding out of Xie Jingzhi's palace with his head held high and arrogant.

Wang Xiangjun's chest heaved and fell with anger.

"It's true that you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart. The daughter of the royal family, the princess of the Chu family, has such a great style"

Xie Jingzhi went to the empress to complain, the empress held her hand and wept.

"My daughter, it's a pity that the queen mother can't protect you for the rest of your life, so bear with it for now"

"When will I endure it, do I really have to kneel down to her?" Xie Jingzhi never thought of such a scene, it was very annoying.

The queen smiled weakly.

"She wants you to kneel, you kneel, she wants you to do, don't contradict"

"If your mother dies tomorrow, this sentence is your will. No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you must follow it, otherwise your mother will die with regret."

Xie Jingzhi was crying right then, sobbing.

"I don't want my queen to die, you can't"

"Swear quickly, listen to her, don't offend, and don't complain to anyone"

"Protect the Zheng family. Before your husband is invincible, as a princess, you must protect your husband's family well."

"Yes, my daughter swears!"
