The plate of fish was quickly removed. Although Qiu Wu Lun inherited his fatherâs sworn enemy, he was still polite to his sworn enemyâs wife, so he quickly apologized.
Qi Ziyou frowned, wanting to save face, he did not say anything
Xue Xiu suppressed her nausea and shook her head slightly: âSince you didnât know, I donât blame you. Letâs have dinner.â
She looked at Xian Sheng, who smiled uncomfortably.
Zhan Zhen whispered into his ears: âYour complexion doesnât look good, whatâs the matter?â
The faint discomfort was like the time he saw Zhan Zhenâs injury, it kept hovering in his chest. He shook his head: âItâs okay.â
Zhan Zhen is really sensitive and considerate now and he notices even the slightest changes in his face. He smiled at the man, secretly guessing that he may have cried and slept a lot today.
Xue Xiu ate very delicately, taking a small bite, but not much. Zhan Zhen asked curiously, âDonât they say that pregnancy will increase your appetite? Why do you still eat so little?â
Qi Ziyou explained: âshe eats a lot. The doctor said to eat less and have more meals. She eats five meals a day.â
Zhan Zhen was taken aback and Xian Sheng was also very surprised.
The storyteller in the audience was still talking about the Son of God and the audience urged him to quickly make up an ending to the rumor but the storyteller laughed, âNo hurry, letâs wait and see how the Taoist priest ends it!â
When the minister and the monarch ate together, there were not many people who could eat well. Except that Zhan Zhen asked about some pregnancy matters from time to time, others were a little cautious.
The questions asked were not different from what was written in the book. At first, it was drowsiness and fatigue. Also a little fat and it is diagnosed after the morning sickness.
Xian Sheng secretly remembered everything. When he left the table, it was completely dark, but there was a night market in the north and the lights were bright outside and there were street performers playing with fire, which was very lively.
Now that Xian Sheng came out, he didnât want to go back. As if he just kept walking like this, he would feel liberated.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Zhan Zhen didnât mention going home, instead just put the cloak on him, gently wrapped it around his body and walked slowly with him on the street.
Xian Sheng was soon tired of walking, his breathing was slightly heavy. He stopped and the man beside him squatted down in front of him: âCome on, Husband will carry you back.â
âI donât want to go back yet.â
âThen letâs stroll around. â
Xian Sheng leaned on his back, wrapped his hands around his neck and said, âHave you found any trace of Qin Yi?â
Since he hasnât been too fierce with your brother, he wonât lay his hands on you.â Zhan Zhen said: âI know that he is nearby, but I just canât find anyone. He Ermi is superb in disguise. With him by his side, Qin Yi can change his face at any time.â
Xian Sheng nestled on his shoulder and did not speak.
Zhan Zhen said: âI will definitely kill him.â
âIn order to drive me out he skinned the imperial preceptor aliveâ Zhan Zhenâs muscles tightened, he pursed his lips and gently closed his legs. Xian Shengâs whole body was full of jitters, and his heart was cold.
âSo many people were killed by Qin Tao and seriously injured me. Like a bereaved dog, guarded by the imperial preceptor we retreated all the way to the mountains. Qin Yi followed his elder brother and led him to a dead end.â Zhan Zhenâs voice was very heavy, and every word seemed to be soaked in blood: âimperial preceptor settled me down in an inconspicuous tree, risked his own life to lead them away, but was caught.â
Xian Shengâs hands gently hugged his neck, and he said after a long while, âI hope that one day, the two countries can be truly peaceful.â
When the war was raging, except for the ones at the beginning, many were innocent people. Zhan Zhenâs imperial preceptor still has Zhan Zhen to avenge him, but others donât.
Zhan Zhenâs heart bears his soldiers, and Xian Shengâs heartache is the same as that for South Liangâs soldiers. Even if he is married to Jin, he still has the blood of south Liang in his bones.
âLetâs not fight. â He whispered âZhan Zhen, if one day you become the emperor, donât go to war again. Okay?â
Zhan Zhen said solemnly: âWhen I was only eight years old, the war had already begun. The Liang Countryâs fierce general Qin Tao, and prince Xian Shang had already become famous for killing Marquis Qiâs family. Since I was a child, my father said that one day, I would have to go to war.â
âMy father never had the idea of invasion, but at the beginning, it was your father who used the fact that we had killed the noblemen of the Jin Dynasty to raid the spiesâ strongholds.â
âJin State grabbed the South liang spies but didnât kill them. Obviously, he could use them to exchange the hostage.â
âItâs Qin Tao.â Xian Sheng said: âHeâs the one to blame.â
âXian sheng.â Zhan Zhen sighed: âThere is no point in arguing between you and me here. The important thing is, the two countries have shed all their blood⊠Although it is time to recuperate, for Qin Yi, this is a private vengeance.â
âKill him then.â Xian Sheng said: âHe should have died.â
His attitude was calm but Zhan Zhen tilted his head slightly: âHe has a deep affection for you and you are not touched at all?â
âHe stayed still while you captured twenty cities within two years. He watched coldly until I was exchanged in marriage to save Liangâ Xian Sheng said softly, âIn the name of liking me, he let the people I care about into deep water. Donât you think I have feelings for him?â
Zhan Zhen didnât speak for a long time.
âMy father chose to not marry me because he didnât believe in him.â Xian Sheng said slowly: âHe is ready to sit back and take advantage of the situation. He wants me, Iâm afraid he also wants the mountains and rivers of south Liang. From my point of view, you returned ten cities. And my father told me, âEven if you are an enemy, you are an upright person and that you are better than him.â
Zhan Zhen didnât expect the Emperor of Liang to boast about himself. His eyes flashed: âWhat else?â
âItâs good to be able to say one good word about you and you expect to hear more?â
Xian Shengâs heavy mood was relaxed a little because of his give an inch takes a mile attitude and he felt amused.
Zhan Zhen propped him up a bit more and said, âDo you want Qin Yi to die?â
âWant â Xian Sheng said: âIf it werenât for his father, I would have killed Qin Yi personally.â
âDo you have a way to find him?â
âYou donât have to guard me so much all the time, he will naturally come to me.â
âThis is impossible.â
Qin Yi is cautious and will not show his face easily unless he uses Xian Sheng as bait. He is like a poisonous snake, braving his head and quickly disappearing. Zhan Zhen could not easily make this decision.
âI thoughtâŠyou will be a little touched after all he has spent a lot of thought for you.â
âToday is different from the past1 It means that the present is not what it used to be, and it means that it cannot be compared with the same day. That is: the current situation is different from the past, and the current situation is different from the previous one..â
Qin Yiâs chasing him all the way to Jin was indeed unexpected. He did feel touched sometimes, but that touch was insignificant compared to Liang. He didnât want to get tainted with Qin Yi but hoped that he would leave as soon as possible. After all, once the state of Jin goes back on its word, Qin Yiâs Zhelong city can also come in handy.
But now, Qin Yi has discovered his secret. Xian Sheng was prepared for the worst.
At that time, when Zhan Zhen knew he was also disgusted, let alone Qin Yi. He had calculated for so many years, but got the news that the princess was not a princess, Xian Sheng believed that he must be dormant in a corner, waiting for a chance to kill.
âYou let me be bait. â Xian Sheng said: âIâll help you kill him.â
âImpossible.â Zhan Zhen said: âI donât need your help, Iâll take care of it. â
After a pause, he said again: âI promise you that, when I become the emperor in the future and will never take the initiative to go to war with South Liang⊠You can supervise on the side.â
Zhan Zhen carried him all the way back home and when he reached the door, he called out only to realize that Xian Sheng was asleep.
Xian Shengâs character is more sylvan than he imagined. He knows that Xian Sheng did not lie, he really has a killing intent towards Qin Yi. Putting himself in his place, he is even a little afraid of what Xian sheng will do to him.
He has an incomparably beautiful skin, which is his best weapon.
But, he believed in Zhan Zhen.
Beside Zhan Zhen, he slept very deep and soundly and he had a nightmare again that night.
When he opened his eyes, there was the sound of practicing swords outside and Xian Sheng lay down and didnât move. He just kept his eyes open and stared in a daze.
When Zhan Zhen came back, he said, âI didnât see my imperial uncle when I came back this time.â
âHe went out to collect medicine. I heard that there were rare medicinal materials, but he left Aâyao at home.â
He is also a child prodigy, he is very smart and learns things very fast. He is a good seedling to learn medicine.
Xian Sheng smiled and said, âI thought about it all night. I think itâs rare to hear such rumors in the market. I want to go to Hongqiao to see which Taoist preached it.â
âIâll accompany you.â
The two arrived at the place, but there was no one there. Zhan Zhen inquired around and someone said, âHe has been here for several days. I heard that he is waiting for someone. He will come again in the eveningâ
âDo you know where he lives?â
âI really donât know.â
Zhan Zhen ordered someone to inquire about it, then he sat down on a small stall with Xian Sheng and said, âit is boring to wait, letâs eat a bowl of wontons.â
Xian Sheng did not refuse.
The small wontons are very fresh, but a bit hot and the Xian sheng ate deliciously. Zhan Zhen observes him and asks: âDid you forget what Xue Xiu taught you yesterday?â
âWhy are you eating so heartily?â
Xian Sheng said: âThis is not fishy, I do not feel uncomfortableâ
âOf course you are not uncomfortable. Zhan Zhen hate iron for not making steel2Hate iron for not making steel is a Chinese idiom, the pinyin is hĂšn tiÄ bĂč chĂ©ng gÄng, which describes being dissatisfied with the person you expect is not up to your expectations, and eager to hope that he will get better. From Qing Cao Xueqinâs âDream of Red Mansionsâ â But you also have to pretend too ah.â
âXue Xiu also didnât feel uncomfortableâŠâŠ.when eating anything elseâ Saying so, Xian Sheng put down the spoon. Zhan Zhen frowned and thought about it, then suddenly took his hand and said, âItâs cold here, letâs go to the restaurant and eat.â
Zhan Zhen came to the restaurant to eat with his wife in a private room. He ordered a few light dishes and then ordered fish. When the fish came up from one end, Xian Shengâs expression began to look wrong.
Zhan Zhen fanned his hand to remove the smell and asked him: âWhatâs wrong?â
Xian Sheng suddenly covered his face and said with an ugly expression, âTake it awayâ
âYes, like this ah. I will bring you out for every meal. And when you act like this, the servants will know.â
Xian Sheng pinched his nose and said. âYou take it away quickly!â
âYes, thatâs itâ Zhan Zhen praised him, and said: âWhen Qi Sile comes back, he can take the pulse in front of so many witnesses⊠No one can guess that it is false.â
Xian Shengâs stomach churned suddenly. He stood up and pushed open the window, taking a deep breath, his face was pale for a moment and he didnât speak while holding the window lattice.
He was surprised and bewildered because he found that he was really a bit nauseous. Although he didnât usually like that fish, he never felt it was fishy.
Zhan Zhen walked over to wrap around his body, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, frowned and said, âYou are sweating. In front of the husband, you donât have to work so hard.â
Xian Sheng leaned on him softly, weakly said: âIâm really a little uncomfortable.â
Seeing this, Zhan Zhen didnât expect him to enter the play like this. He rewarded him with a kiss on his eyelid and said: âGood. If you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself first.â
