poisonous woman

Chapter 278 Exchange
Since the last time he came back from King Jin's Zhuangzi, Xiao Junjue locked himself in this room, not eating, but drinking.

Only by being drunk can the pain be relieved a little. When he is drunk, he can sleep and see Rong Zhao in his dream. He thinks that maybe Rong Zhao will not come back for the rest of his life, and he will be drunk like this for the rest of his life.

Seeing the person who used to protect him everywhere turn to stand in front of others and protect others, at that moment his heart was no different from the messy pieces of the wine jar.

He has only two people protecting him in his life, one is his mother and concubine, who is already dead, and the other is Rong Zhao, who has completely forgotten him.

His two most important people have left him.

Xiao Xuanqi couldn't understand what he said, forgetting and never forgetting, kicked Xiao Junjue's wine jar away, and glared at him, "You are the famous King of Chu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many people regard you as a hero , your blood should be shed on the battlefield, not in a woman's boudoir. Look at you, ragged and sluggish, are you still the god of war admired by thousands of people? Women are disasters, it is true That's right!"

"Hero? God of War?" Xiao Junjue curled up and smiled sadly, "It sounds nice, but I'm just a butcher." He murmured, "Maybe it's because I killed too many people, so God punished me like this I."

Xiao Xuanqi hated iron but steel, picked up his skirt and pulled him up from the ground, "What punishment from heaven? You also believe in this? Don't you have no glory? Then go find it, and drink like a drunk here." What is the mud doing? You are here, even if you drink to death, can she come back?"

Xiao Junjue pushed his hand away, and because of sitting for a long time, she staggered when she stood up.There were hip flasks everywhere. He picked up the half-filled jug on the table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then threw it towards the window into the grass outside.

There is a pomegranate flower in the courtyard, which blooms as brilliantly as agate, and as red as clouds. Thinking of last year, it was also this season, when the pomegranate flower was at its best, Rong Zhao stood under the pomegranate flower and smiled at him.

In a daze, he seemed to see her, standing there, waving at him.Xiao Xuanqi didn't pay attention, and saw him rushing out.

When he was under the tree, he grabbed for the air, but couldn't catch anything. The person who was smiling at him suddenly disappeared.

Seeing his distraught appearance, Xiao Xuanqi sighed slightly, feeling in her heart, this person should be a ruthless and ungrateful person, not worrying about anyone, not losing his soul because of one person, and even less because of one person. lose oneself.

"As a royal, what you shouldn't have is feelings. Once you have feelings, you will have a weakness and become a weakness. You are not as good as Xiao Jinyu in this regard. Perhaps, it is also because of this that you lost to him."

He walked to Xiao Junjue and said.

Xiao Junjue laughed at himself, "This is not the only thing I lost to him."

Xiao Xuanqi rolled her eyes angrily.He changed the subject and said: "A few days ago, Jiang Shuhang caused trouble in the brothel. He got into a dispute with someone for the oiran, and beat him to death by mistake. Father didn't show mercy to Uncle Changsheng, so he handed it over to the third division for interrogation. He has already been sentenced. He was executed after the fall, and Uncle Changsheng couldn’t afford to be ill because of it. Also, it’s strange that he can support himself after losing two legitimate sons at once. He only has these two legitimate sons in total, and he doesn’t know who will inherit Uncle Changsheng’s mansion in the future.”

He looked at Xiao Junjue with his long and narrow eyes, and tentatively said: "You couldn't have designed this, could it?"

Xiao Junjue glanced at him indifferently, turned around and went into the room again, Xiao Xuanqi smacked her lips, a little annoyed, "You... I don't care about you anymore, if you want to drink to death, drink to death, your life is gone, I don't think you care about anything The position of prince."

Xiao Junjue's footsteps paused slightly, Xiao Xuanqi raised his eyebrows, sure enough, he still cared about that position.

Xiao Xuanqi knew how much she weighed, she didn't have a mother or concubine whom the emperor missed for many years, and she didn't have any military achievements, let alone any tricks, so she was doomed to miss that seat in this life.Moreover, he was used to being casual, even if he was asked to put on that piece of clothing, he would find it in the way, so why would he voluntarily be bound by those things.

However, he likes Xiao Junjue, the crown prince is incompetent, and King Jin can only play tricks and tricks. If either of them becomes the emperor, the world will not have a good life. Only Xiao Junjue, he is upright and upright. , will not play tricks on power, and knows the suffering of the people more deeply. When such a person becomes the emperor, the people of Dazhou will have a good life.

At this moment, Nighthawk came in from outside. He glanced at the eighth prince, then ran to Xiao Junjue, and whispered: "My lord, Prince Jin sent someone to say that the lord is about to arrive at Zuifeng. Let's get together."

Xiao Junjue's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to ask him, "Account me? Is it only him?"

Ye Ying knew that the prince was asking if the concubine would go, he shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know." He asked, "Is the prince going? Could it be some kind of deceit by King Jin?"

"Go, of course." Regardless of whether Rong Zhao will go or not, he will go. Xiao Junjue went out directly, but Ye Xiao stopped him, saying that he had to change his clothes and wash up anyway if he wanted to go out. Only after cleaning up did he leave the door.

But he was anxious, he changed his clothes, but he couldn't wait to shave his beard and went to Zuifengzhai, not caring that Xiao Xuanqi was still in his residence.

Looking at Xiao Junjue who regarded him as air, Xiao Xuanqi shook his fan to calm down. Is he so invisible?Standing here as a big living person like him, the three masters and servants didn't even look at him.In the end, everyone left, and he was left standing under the pomegranate tree shaking his fan.

Xiao Junjue originally thought that something happened to Rong Zhao, but he didn't expect Xiao Jinyu to propose such a condition to him.

He raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, but remained silent, sipping tea slowly.

Xiao Jinyu thought that he couldn't let go of his power, and he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, "I know, it's hard for you to choose for a while, so let me give you three days to think about it, and then give it to me after three days." reply."

After Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, she stood up and wanted to leave, but at this time Xiao Junjue said, "It won't take three days, I promise you."

Xiao Jinyu stood, looked at him condescendingly, frowned, and said hesitantly: "You...don't think about it? Don't regret it after walking out of this door."

Xiao Junjue's knuckle-boned fingers stroked the edge of the teacup, paused, and poured a new cup of tea himself. He kept his eyes on the tea leaves in the cup, and waited for the leaves floating on the water to swirl. He swirled and sank to the bottom of the water, and asked, "Isn't this the answer you want?"

Xiao Jinyu was greatly disturbed, looked at Xiao Junjue in amazement, and reminded: "Are you really willing? Once you give up, everything you have built in the past few years will no longer exist. You can't even maintain the status quo."

"If it was in the past, I might have to think about it, but now, I don't need it." Xiao Junjue looked up at Xiao Jinyu and said with certainty.

If Xiao Jinyu put forward such a condition before experiencing this time, he might still be caught in a dilemma and find it difficult to choose.But some things are not experienced, some people are not lost, you will never know how important he is to you.

These days, what happened to Cong Rongzhao, lost and regained, gained and lost again, this kind of torture broke his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, if he endured it any longer, he would almost feel worse than death.

He doesn't expect anything now, as long as Rong Zhao returns to him, even if she doesn't remember, even if she doesn't love him anymore, as long as she is by his side, everything can start again.

Xiao Jinyu did not expect such a decisive agreement without even haggling over the price.He and Xiao Junjue looked at each other for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Okay, I didn't expect that the King of Chu is still an infatuated kind, he wants beauties and not Jiangshan, okay."

There was a choke in his throat, and such a quick answer did not leave him any excuses for Rongzhao.

He said: "As long as you ask for the conferment of leaving the capital in the court tomorrow and hand over the power of the forbidden army, I will return Rongzhao to you. As long as the father approves, I will hand it over to... people." He was saying When handing over, my throat tightened a bit, "Don't worry, I will ask my father to grant you a richer fief, so that you can live in prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

After Xiao Jinyu left, Xiao Junjue sat there and did not leave. He didn't get up and leave until the tea was cold.

When he went out to Zuifengzhai, he let out a sigh of relief and smiled, and soon Rongzhao would be back by his side.Although the price is a bit high, it is worth it.

He looked around at the streets, the bustling streets of Changge City had nothing to do with him after all.

Rong Zhao, who still didn't know that he was being exchanged as an item, still looked at Xiao Jinyu who sold her with admiration, "Cousin, you came here a little late today, it's already this hour, look, the sun has already set."

Xiao Jinyu forced a smile in front of her, he didn't even want to come today, because he didn't know how to face her, how to tell her.However, if tomorrow's matter is settled, she will leave too.

He once said that he would not let Xiao Junjue snatch her away from him again, yes, Xiao Junjue did not snatch her, he sent her up by himself.

He also once promised her that he would cherish her, but now, he broke his promise.

He never wanted to send her back to Xiao Junjue, never wanted to break his promise, all of this was forced by others.Forced by his father, forced by Liu Fuxin, forced by those ministers in the court, forced by his mother and concubine, forced by Xiao Junjue, they all forced him, he didn't want to.

He also wanted to be with Rong Zhao, and wanted to be inseparable from her, but standing in this position today, he couldn't help himself.

Looking at the smiling Rong Zhao in front of him, he suddenly remembered that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of that year, under the fireworks like stars, Rong Zhao's bright smile made him try for the first time what is called heartbeat, that kind of feeling that seems to The feeling of countless flowers suddenly blooming in my heart, now aftertaste, I realize that it was the initial heartbeat.
