The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 186 Strange Scar 1
It was rumored that Xiao Junyi led his troops to escape from the Northwest earlier and turned to the enemy country. Xiao Xuanyu was so angry that he sent troops to reinforce him again and again, and he was determined to kill Xiao Junyi.

However, Xiao Junyi did not admit that he was already a subject of Xiruo Kingdom, he just borrowed troops from Xiruo Kingdom to seize what should belong to him.

The Northwest was given to him as a fief during the period of the first emperor, and now the reigning emperor has no former emperor in his heart, and he is avenging his personal revenge and eradicating dissidents.Not only did he send troops inexplicably to suppress the Northwest, but he was also expelled and dismissed from office.Xiao Junyi thought that he was not at fault when he was a general, and he had outstanding political achievements. He was unwilling to be reconciled to such a situation today, so he sent troops to the northwest, not referring to the people in the northwest, but targeting the superior emperor.

Northwest is already the most chaotic place in Daliang, there are many rumors, and the people no longer know what is right and what is wrong.While seeking self-protection, they were dissatisfied with Xiao Junyi's army in the northwest, but even more dissatisfied with the emperor's previous suppression. In their hearts, if the emperor hadn't used force to treat the originally peaceful northwest, they wouldn't be in such a state.

The northwest is vast, but the border of Xiruo is dangerous. This battle is destined to be a protracted one.

Wu Shuang was in the palace, so it was really difficult to get some news, because many troops were transferred from the Ministry of War.Wushuang then started on Lian Sheng, but after several contacts with Lian Sheng, she found nothing. The other party kept his mouth shut about the Northwest Campaign and advised her that knowing too much is not a good thing.

Wushuang couldn't inquire about anything, but could only tell from Xiao Xuanyu's expression whether he had won or lost.However, everything in the palace was peaceful, and Xiao Xuanyu continued to sing and dance to make peace, Xiao Xuanyu didn't show the slightest bit of embarrassment, Wushuang became uneasy, so Xiao Junyi was defeated?

In the past, at least they were still united, fighting against foreign enemies together, but now that Xiao Junyi has become a foreign enemy, Wushuang felt so in a dilemma.She can't forget that she is a citizen of Daliang, but she can also understand Xiao Junyi's helplessness and situation at this point.

The court clearly wanted to put him to death. If he didn't find a backer, he would be executed sooner or later.

Winter is here, and Wushuang came to the capital in the autumn of the previous year. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two years.

It's been two years, whether it's long or not, and whether it's short or not.

Wushuang often climbed to the tallest tower in the palace, which would allow her to see very far away, but no matter how far away she was, she couldn't see Xiao Junyi who was far away outside the Northwest Great Wall.

Wushuang held the jade pendant around her neck, which still carried her body temperature, so warm, she imagined that Xiao Junyi was by her side.However, when she opened her eyes, the world opened up, but she was the only one left.

Climbing to see all the mountains and small mountains is not as smooth as she expected, and there is only the lonely loneliness at the heights.

In the cool winter evening, Wushuang stood on the tower for a long time, but didn't want to leave.She saw that the city market was still bustling, unaffected by the war in the northwest at all. This is the eternal bustle and bustle at the foot of the emperor.

If everything is like this, there is no war, only peace, and only living and working in peace and contentment, how wonderful it would be.

There was a sudden warmth on the shoulders, Wushuang looked sideways, and saw that it was Xiao Xuanyu who came out from the royal study after approving the memorial, and put the dragon robe on her body.

Wushuang instinctively refused, "Your Majesty, this..."

"Is it warmer?" He asked softly, holding her slightly in his arms.

Wushuang looked up at his side face, but finally did not refuse.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his handsome face, without the cold determination of an emperor, his face was much softened by the light.The blue silk was tied up meticulously, and the bright yellow hairband was loosened a little, fluttering in the wind.

"Don't you know me? Why are you staring at me?" He suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile.

Wushuang shook her head with a chuckle, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen the emperor for a long time."

"I'm a bit busy with government affairs." After Xiao Xuanyu said it, he denied it himself, "But this is an excuse. I didn't go to Chunhua Palace because I was angry and jealous. I wanted to wait for you to coax me, but I didn't wait for you. Come, I will come by myself."

He finished the torment during this period lightly, holding Wushuang's hand, looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, "I don't know that the emperor is angry."

"Liar! You know!" He was a little childish.

Wushuang's lie was exposed immediately, a little embarrassing.

"You know everything, it's just that I'm not angry or sad, you don't care, don't care, don't care." Xiao Xuanyu said with a wry smile, rubbed Wushuang's long hair, turned his head and slowly let it fall on her forehead. kiss.

Wu Shuang closed her eyes slightly, unable to tell the feeling in her heart, is it helpless or distressed?

Standing at the highest point of the palace, the two became the loneliest two people in the world.They are clearly together, holding each other's hands and hugging each other's shoulders, but their hearts are still not together.

The conversation between them can only be that helpless tone forever.

Xiao Xuanyu had nothing to do with her, especially Wushuang.Fortunately, they are people who don't hold grudges, and the displeasure of the past can always be quickly forgotten. When they meet again, one is the emperor and the other is the concubine. Apart from this relationship, there is no other right and wrong.

"Let you become concubine Heng and keep you by my side. I hope that is the best decision I made." Xiao Xuanyu said with a smile, "Wu Shuang, I want to share this world with you."

"Your Majesty, Wu Shuang came from a humble background..."

"I don't care what your origin is, you just need to remember that you are now my concubine, the most honorable person in the world!"

Wu Shuang was silent, she didn't understand why the vanity in her heart couldn't expand at this moment.Concubine Heng, Heng, Heng, her title alone is unmatched in the harem, except for the queen mother and empress dowager, isn't she the most honorable woman in the harem.However, I was not as happy and happy as I imagined.

In just two years after entering Beijing, she has gone through a journey from bestowing a marriage to changing a gift to abolishing it, and from a court lady to today's concubine. This journey has gone too fast and too fast, and she has been too tired. I don't get it, why is this happening so much?
"Your majesty..." Wushuang looked down at the city and said, "Look how peaceful this capital is, but the northwest is..."

Anticipating what she was going to say, Xiao Xuanyu's face changed slightly, and Wushuang continued, "Northwest has never been peaceful. Your Majesty is now increasing troops to the northwest. When will this war last?"

"Then what do you mean, if I don't increase my troops, I will be taken down in twos?"

"That's not what I mean. I just hope that the emperor can have peace talks."

"I have a great chance of winning, why should I negotiate peace with them?" Xiao Xuanyu said arrogantly, "This time, I will never compromise. The dispute in the northwest can only be resolved by force."

"Your majesty, stop fighting for fighting, you..."

"Military force can bring real peace!" Xiao Xuanyu interrupted solemnly, and immediately said, "It is good that you are safe in the palace, and you don't have to worry about political matters."

"emperor……"

"Don't even think about interceding for Xiao Junyi, I will never tolerate such a collaborator and traitor!"

"Then why doesn't the emperor think about it, who forced him to this field."

"I don't want to argue with you because of him. If I change positions with him, he will not let me go."

"Win the king and lose the bandit."

"Yes, that's right! If I were the king, he would be the bandit!" Xiao Xuanyu said, and went down the tower with Wushuang in his arms. The other party was already in a bad mood, but Xiao Xuanyu was even worse.

After walking awkwardly for a long time, Xiao Xuanyu said, "I don't want you to ask about these things again, and I don't want to affect our husband and wife relationship for outsiders. You don't care, but you don't know how much I cherish our relationship. Don't be angry anymore OK, okay?"

Faced with his overtures, Wushuang was really contradictory, looking at his face, he felt mixed emotions.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the palace." Xiao Xuanyu said, leading Wushuang to the direction of Chunhua Palace.

Wushuang turned her head to see if Ruyi had followed, but she saw their shadows. She thought that she and Xiao Junyi would support each other until they grow old, but fate played a big joke on her!
When the first emperor was there, because he didn't believe in Buddhism, although there was a Buddhist hall in the palace, many people were restrained.Now that the former emperor is gone, the current emperor is not superstitious about Buddhism, but he does not object to it.

Therefore, the empress dowager, who was devout to Buddhism in her heart, rebuilt the Buddhist hall in the palace for people in the palace to worship.

Wushuang used to disdain the matter of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, but since Concubine Lan read Buddhist books, she followed suit and became more interested.

The days in Chunhua Palace became a bit boring after a long time, so she asked Ruyi to help her go to the Buddhist hall, occasionally copying scriptures for meditation, or reading Buddhist books.

On this day, Xiao Xuanyu was in a very good mood, so he arranged a palace banquet and asked Li Ping to invite Concubine Heng and other concubines to the scene.

All the concubines were eagerly looking forward to having their own names, and everyone wanted to be present, but only Concubine Heng refused because she was unwell.

Li Ping was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, go, the Emperor is happy today."

"Then I can't spoil the fun. I'm so heavy, where can I go?" Wushuang said, coughed a few times, and said wishfully, "My lady is a bit cold, it's freezing outside, and I can't blow the wind."

Seeing this, Li Ping could only kneel down and said, "Then Madam is good to rest."

Wushuang nodded. After Li Ping stepped back, she couldn't pretend to be calm, her face was full of sadness.Wu Shuang knew why Xiao Xuanyu was happy today.

The first battle in the northwest was won, and the battle report just came back said that Xiao Junyi was seriously injured.

Xiao Xuanyu went to celebrate the victory, invited the officials to celebrate together, and ordered General Du to pursue the victory and kill the enemy.

Concubine Yu's value in the palace has doubled because of her elder brother's meritorious service, and now she is the Queen Mother's treasure, Xiao Xuanyu naturally treats her very well.

Regardless of these Wushuang, her mind is full of Xiao Junyi's serious injury, Xiao Junyi's serious injury...

She shouldn't have gone to the imperial study, let alone overheard this.Don't be sad if you don't know.

"Miss, what's the matter with you? Why don't you go to the palace banquet? I'm looking forward to going today. I just passed by the imperial garden and saw the emperor. He was in high spirits. It seems that there is some great event. All the palaces want to go to ask for rewards." What!" Ruyi said.

"Ruyi, do you think it's okay for me to go to the palace banquet like this? I'm afraid it can't add to the fun but just spoil the fun."

Ruyi looked at Wushuang, indeed, this is something the emperor is happy about, why does the young lady look so sad?She didn't know what happened, and Wushuang didn't tell her, and she couldn't ask.

"Let's go to the Buddhist hall!" After a long time, Wushuang sighed.

"Now?" Ruyi looked outside, "It's getting dark, if Miss is not feeling well, it's better to go to bed early, so don't go out!"

"You can't sleep in bed, so go!"

"But if you let the emperor know that you don't go to the palace banquet, but have the energy to go to the Buddhist hall, you will definitely be angry, miss..." Before Ruyi finished speaking, Wushuang stubbornly went out, and she hurriedly chased him out.

The Buddhist hall was not far from Chunhua Palace, and Kung Fu Wushuang arrived in a short time. Even at night, the place was brightly lit.

It seems that there is no night in the palace, and there is no night in the Buddhist hall.

Wushuang asked Ruyi to light three incense sticks, and after bowing respectfully, she slowly grabbed Ruyi's clothes and knelt in front of the Buddha statue.

Ruyi was surprised, "Miss, why are you kneeling so easily, you'd better get up, the incense is enough."

"Didn't you say that the Queen Mother often bows like this? How can you show your sincerity if you don't bow like this?" Wushuang clasped her hands together, looking very pious. Ruyi has been with Wushuang for a long time. She remembers that when she was in Mufu, Wushuang was the most hated People with these things, but now everything has changed, everything has changed.

At the palace banquet, Xiao Xuanyu was happily waiting for everyone to arrive.However, Li Ping came back and said that Wushuang was ill, and he immediately got up to go to Chunhua Palace to see him.

"Your Majesty..." Li Ping whispered, then shook his head.

Xiao Xuanyu understood that being ill was just an excuse for Wushuang.

He returned to his seat, but the whole dinner was dull due to Wushuang's absence.All his joy and joy were just because he had won against that person, and he wanted to prove it to Wushuang, but she didn't come.
