Chapter 168 Calculation
"Xuan Ling, tell me something." Xiao Jue looked at Wen Jiu and knew that she was angry at this moment.
"I..." Xuan Ling was speechless. She was not from the Xiao Palace, but he ordered her around smoothly.
Xuan Ling looked at the warm wine and then at Bai Zhi who was kneeling on the ground, and continued to tell the story...
"Bai Zhi, why didn't you come to me and tell me?" Wen Xi was furious. This girl was too... inflexible.
"So you're angry about this?" Xiao Jue asked, looking at the wine. He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. He thought it was nothing, so he could just kill her. Isn't this her usual style? Why did she become so timid after returning to the capital? Not like she was in the palace yesterday.
"Are you okay?" Wen Jiu looked at the shameless man unhappily.
"Something happened," Xiao Jue said calmly.
"Okay, Xuanxing, take her downstairs to get her bandaged and she can rest for a few days." Wenjiu looked at his injured hand and curled his lips.
Xiao Jue understood that she had made up her mind and stopped asking.
"Brother, I have something to tell him..." Wen Jiu said to Wen Xi, but was afraid that Wen Xi would not go out.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xi gave Xiao Jue a warning look, reminded her to remember to take a rest, and left.
When they were the only two left in the room, Wen Jiu asked, "What's the matter?"
"If there's nothing wrong, then you can't come?" Xiao Jue said in a somewhat rogue manner.
Wen Jiu glanced at him, "Why did you change clothes?"
"Your brother is afraid that the smell of blood on my body will scare you. He doesn't know that you kill people just like chopping cabbages... Hey, what are you doing?" The silver needle for warming wine was only a finger's distance from Xiao Jue's throat. Her hand was caught by Xiao Jue.
"I think only the dead can keep secrets"
"You" Xiao Jue was so angry that she almost laughed. Every time someone threatened her, she would kill herself.
"I will keep it a secret. I'm talking about business. The wine pot is your property, right? Or you came from Biluo Villa." In a positive tone
Wen Jiu calmly replied, "The wine is mine. As for why I hide myself, that's self-evident. Doesn't the prince also have many industries in his name?"
"How do you explain Biluo Villa? Are you friends with Manor Master Mo? Or are you working together?" Xiao Jue squinted his eyes and held her hand tightly.
"We are just an alliance" implies that he is meddling too much and it has nothing to do with him.
"Yes, it's just that I revealed some news yesterday. Never mind. It has nothing to do with me anyway." Xiao Jue let go of her hand.
"Sir, it's more important to talk about business, isn't it?" Wen Jiu took back the silver needle in his hand.
"The Xiaoxiang Army needs steel armor. Do you have a way to solve the weight problem while maintaining defense?" Xiao Jue said seriously.
"Not yet, but I want to experiment and I'll write you back later." Wen Jiu smiled at Xiao Jue.
He knew that she must have a plan in mind.
"Are you just going to let it go today?" Xiao Jue knew that she would not let it go so easily, so he decided to ask her.
"My revenge will not last overnight. It's so easy to kill her. Isn't it better to torture her?" Wenjiu touched the broken teacup and said with a smile.
"I'll go with you tonight" is not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
"Don't you have anything to do? Why don't you go back and deal with your half-brother?" Wen Jiu looked at him, his face was not good, he must be injured, she would not feel sorry for him if he didn't take care of his body.
"Just marry in with peace of mind. He is not a threat and has no bad intentions." She still has mixed feelings towards her half-brother Xiao Yu. He has not done anything wrong. He is just a playboy who likes to fight cocks and walk birds. He is scared to death in front of him. It seems that he has been afraid of him since he was a child. It's just that his mother is not a good person.
"Let's solve my mourning period first." Wen Jiu retracted his gaze. Since Xiao Jue asked her to marry him with peace of mind, he must have a way.
Royal Palace
"Father, why did you let me marry Yan Xiu? He is not worthy of me at all." Xiao Qing'er knelt in the imperial study with tears in her eyes.
"It's you who marry him, it will be good for your brother, Qing'er, be obedient, the matter has come to that point, besides... he is easy to control anyway, you have the final say in the future, the person you want is no longer possible, don't worry, he won't have a good ending either," Emperor Yuan said to comfort his daughter whom he had doted on since childhood.
"How is Father going to make sure Xiao Jue doesn't get away with it?" Xiao Qing'er felt a sign of love turning into hate.
"A few days ago, I heard that he personally gave Bai Miaomiao a hairpin worth a thousand gold coins, which symbolizes white hair. Since he loves Bai Miaomiao so much and hates Wenjiu, how about letting them get married on the same day as you? First, your father will give them a grand wedding, which will overshadow you and reduce public opinion, and no one will pay attention to you. Secondly, your father will let him have a taste of not being able to marry the person he loves openly. How about it? Wouldn't it be better to let Wenjiu marry and fight with her so that both sides will suffer losses?" Emperor Yuan was very satisfied with his idea.
But Xiao Qing'er was wondering if Xiao Jue really hated Wen Jiu? Then why did he always speak out to protect her? Wouldn't Wen Jiu's peaceful attitude make him look more like a favored person?
"Don't worry, every time Xiao Jue went to see Wen Jiu, it was because his father forced him to go. He said in person that he didn't like Wen Jiu because she was sickly and weak."
Is Wenjiu really sick? But she gave herself medicine. Although she can stand and walk now, she still feels unbearable pain every night. The antidote has not been delivered yet, and she dare not say it...
"Okay, go back and wait for your marriage. Father is asking the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious date. Go back first. Father still has some memorials to read." Emperor Yuan had already started to chase her away, so she couldn't stay away.
"Father, please take care of yourself and remember to balance work and rest. I'll take my leave first." Xiao Qing'er left the imperial study and went straight to the imperial concubine. She was kicked out again and asked to hand over something. She didn't say what it was. Xiao Qing'er was overwhelmed.
楚府
"Chu Tunan, you two are really capable. I have already written to my father. This matter is too big. I can't arrange a wedding for you. And you, Yan Xiu, I don't know you at all. But you are so good. You two are really great..." Chu Yinan lay on the bed with a face full of regret. He shouldn't have agreed to let his father take them to Beijing.
"Go out. If you have any questions, don't ask me. Just ask the housekeeper. Father should be here as soon as possible." Chu Yinan waved his hand to signal them to go out.
"This matter..." Yan Xiu asked
"Let's talk outside." Chu Tunan pulled him out of Chu Yinan's yard.
The cold wind blew up the beauty's black hair, and her dress fluttered in the wind. The girl was graceful and charming. Her face was cold and she said, "It has come to this, let it be."
"That's it? Don't check anymore?" Although Yan Xiu didn't know who it was, it was still a hidden danger that he hadn't found out. He felt uncomfortable.
"Since there is no trace to prove that this person is very skilled, did we offend anyone when we just came back? Unless... But it's impossible." Chu Tunan suppressed his inner fanciful thoughts.
"Unless what?"
"Do you suspect that Xiao Jue recognized me? Impossible. When I met my old subordinates yesterday, none of them recognized me," Yan Xiu retorted.
"So I can't think of who it is right now?" Chu Tunan encountered difficulties, unprecedented, she could only keep herself calm and analyze carefully, first eating hot pot, and then getting married, how could she and Yan Xiu keep in touch every day and plan?
