After receiving a letter from Mo Xian to herself, she learned that Sima Yu was going to use both herself and Sima Shang as hostages to be sent to the Shang Kingdom. Nalan Xue did not show any anger or sadness at all. She just smiled and said

After reading the letter, he lit it on a candle and threw it into a nearby basin stained with mugwort to repel mosquitoes. He told Yan Niang to pack her things and prepare her luggage in case Sima Qing's edict came down.

Too hasty.

She once respected Sima Yu as a brother, but after Sima Shang was attacked and nearly died on her wedding day, she no longer thought so.

As the old saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although Sima Yu is not yet an emperor, he has been trained by Sima Qing in the direction of an emperor since he was a child. Whether he is a playboy or uneducated, who knows?

, is all of this just for the sake of one day becoming his father's disciple, becoming a prodigal son who turns back, and making people sigh with regret? At least, now it seems that the only ones who are infamy are those gentlemen before him.

, with him, there won’t be any damage at all, right?

Worst of all, he, Sima Yu, is also the son of Sima Qing. Doesn't it make sense to use the phrase "tiger father has no dog sons" here?

"That old bastard Sima Qing, how could he treat you like this, Princess! After all, you are the one who conquered half of the country for Mo Country!"

Yan Niang's anger could no longer be concealed, and her words were full of accusations against Sima Yu and Sima Qing, "That Sima Yu is not a good person either! You have taught him so much knowledge and life in vain.

That’s right! You actually gave the second young master laxatives, it’s really despicable and shameless to the extreme!”

"Now that the world is at peace, I, a man of great merit, refuse to listen to their arrangements. Naturally, I will become a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. There is nothing surprising about this."

Nalan Xue smiled and picked up the pen on the shelf in her hand, licked the ink, and began to reply to Mo Xian. "They just sent me to the Shang Kingdom to be a hostage, to exert what they thought was my final value, instead of giving me a

Being beheaded for an unfounded crime is already a great favor... If I hadn't built the new Yucheng and let them see that I was thrown far away from Zhaoyang City, they wouldn't be able to kill me.

I'm afraid, now, Shang and I should both be... There's nothing wrong with this. At least, in the Shang Kingdom, we can be free. Shang Fusu can't and doesn't dare to embarrass us... It's just

.This incident should make Shang feel sad. He believed in Sima Yu so much and regarded him as an elder brother who could even risk his life. But in the end, it turned out..."

"It's better to see clearly early than to be deceived all your life and die without a burial place in the end!"

Yan Niang curled her lips, rather disapproving of what Nalan Xue said, "Without a princess, it's hard to say whether there is one in Mo Country now. These heartless emperors and princes, seeing others' reputations rise,

With jealous eyes, why don't you think about whether they have done what others have done, and they have done more than others! According to me, none of these people from the royal family are good!"

"What you said is a bit harsh, Yan Niang."

Nalan Xue stood up with a smile, packed the envelope she had written, put a wax seal on it, and handed it to Yan Niang, telling her to take it to the messenger and take it back to Mo Xian and the others, "At least, Shang still treats me well."

Okay, it’s a person worthy of being entrusted to you for the rest of your life.”

"That's because he hasn't gained power yet! Look, if he becomes the prince or the emperor, will he still treat you the way he does now! Princess, it's not what Yan Niang said about you, you are just too kind and trusting.

! Do you think that all men in this world will be as dedicated and single-minded as the second young master?! Let’s not talk about others. The eldest young master alone has no less than seven aunts and concubines in the yard? This

He doesn’t have a legal wife yet. If he gets another legal wife, eight women will have to fight to steal his husband!”

After receiving the letter, Yan Niang had no trust in Sima Shang at all, so she retorted to Nalan Xue, "He was an unpopular prince. It turned out that he had neither success nor fame, and he didn't even have a fief.

Naturally, no one is willing to marry him. Now, in Yucheng, where you have many old subordinates, the people's admiration and trust for you far exceeds that of him. No one will make this annoying and cause trouble for you. But, if in the future...

You help him and let him have a place in the hearts of the people in the world... When ladies from famous families are flocking to him, and matchmakers and matchmakers are coming constantly, will he still be as good as he is now, only waiting for you?

, without even looking at anyone else? Is the young master of the Yuchi family treating the second princess well? In order to save her life, he defied the imperial edict. What is the result? Isn’t it just the same as marrying the fifth princess as an equal wife? It’s wrong.

The second princess followed him, suffered in the difficult places of the frontier, and did not dare to return to Zhaoyang City? You can guarantee that a few years later, when the second princess is old and old, he will still be able to treat her with the same persistence as today, instead of liking the new and hating the old.

Yes, you are inseparable from the Fifth Princess?"

"What Yan Niang said is absolutely true."

Sima Shang pushed open the door and entered with a smile on his face, as if he agreed with Yan Niang's words, "Xue'er, I can't guarantee that in the future, if I have a future, I will be able to be like what I am today.

I treat you the same, so... I thought about it carefully and decided that from now on, I won't waste my time learning those lessons. Anyway, they are all useless and harmful.

It's better to save time and spend more time with you. Well, from now on, I will stay with you all the time. When you have free time, we will play chess. When you don't have free time, I will be by your side.

Look at you, you are so beautiful, even if I look at you for the rest of my life, I will never get tired of it..."

"Don't listen to the nonsense of a woman like Yan Niang. A man should have his ambitions in all directions."

Seeing Sima Shang come in, Nalan Xue smiled slightly, walked around the desk, came to him, pulled his sleeves, and sat down together at the round table in the study, "You don't need to work hard and make progress, then you won't be afraid. One day

, I was robbed by others?"

"Whoever dares to rob you, I will fight to the death with him!"

Sima Shang's shoulders trembled for a moment as if instinctively, and then he turned his hand and grabbed Nalan Xue's wrist, and frowned nervously. "You are my princess, although, although you are not old yet,

Marriage, but there is also an engagement, which means that you are mine! Who, who dares to rob you!"

"How many people can you beat with just brute strength? Let's not say that there are thousands of troops. It doesn't take more than a hundred people, and it doesn't even have to be particularly strong in martial arts. You can't handle it alone.

Is that all?"

Nalan Xue was not anxious at all. Sima Shang was so "weary of learning" that he just shook his head gently. With his other hand, he picked up the teapot on the table and gave him a cup of tea. "You

Look at me, I don’t have any martial arts skills. I can barely ride a horse, and I don’t dare to let it go fast... Go out and ask anyone at random. Can that person say that I am not a good military commander? Good.

Those who control the brave can only be regarded as strong soldiers. Those who are good at controlling planners can only be regarded as good generals. Those who are good at controlling people...are the emperors like your father who can make people loyal and fight with just words and rewards...

…”

"Then, what kind of person does Xue'er hope that Shang will become?"

After carefully observing Nalan Xue's face, Sima Shang pursed his lips, thought about it carefully, and couldn't figure out the reason, so he mustered up the courage to ask her.

"What you swore before, will it still count if you are in the world with only one person by your side?"

Nalan Xue only felt that Sima Shang at this time was extremely cute and interesting no matter how she looked at him, so she deliberately smiled and teased him.

"It's natural! There is heaven above and earth below. How can a poisonous oath be made casually?"

Sima Shang was not a fool, so how could he not see that Nalan Xue was teasing him? However, Zhi Gui knew that he still had to do a good job on the surface. As soon as his face changed, he showed a surprised expression, "If Xue'er

I feel that the poisonous oath Shang made before was not harsh enough, so I will send another one for you to listen to!"

"I'm just asking because you're so nervous."

Seeing Sima Shang's reaction, Nalan Xue couldn't help but laugh. As a person from the future, she naturally didn't believe in swearing. However, she felt that it was impossible for Sima Shang, an "ancient man", not to believe it. "If you

If what I said is true, I naturally hope that you can become a good controller..."

"The one who is good at controlling people...Emperor? No, no! I, I can't do anything to cause trouble! My father is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people. In his hands, the country of Mo is better than when our ancestors were in power.

I don’t know how many times, my eldest brother is also a virtuous man who is famous all over the world. In the future, if he inherits the throne, he may be even more successful than his father!"

After hearing what Nalan Xue said, Sima Shang was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a face full of fear, and bowed to Nalan Xue, "How can I, a person with no virtue and talent, do anything like this? They

Those big things you did? I, I... Madam, you, don't force me, I, I... I'm not that material, you, you force me to death... I can't do it either

ah……"

"I only said that I hoped, but I didn't say that it had to happen. Look at you, you are so scared, as if I want to eat you."

Nalan Xue sneered, stood up, supported Sima Shang, and asked him to sit back on the chair, "You just have to work hard in that direction. There is no harm in doing it. Even if you can't become an emperor,

, if you can be a prince who dominates an area, when your brother needs help in the future, it will always be good if you can help him, right?"

Nalan Xue couldn't tell Sima Shang at this time. What would happen in a few days was not that she didn't trust him, but that there were some things that she still hoped he could understand for himself.

Understand that, in the future, he will be able to be ruthless and stop trusting others in vain.

"What the lady said is absolutely true."

Listening would be helpful to Sima Yu. Sima Shang's face softened a little. He pursed his thin lips slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and nodded solemnly, "Shang will go back and continue studying. Learn more."

I can give you some useful things so that I can help my brother in the future!"

…

After that day, Jiang Yue was ill for several days. He was in a daze and kept calling Nalan Xue's name in his sleep.

Su Ling grabbed the medicine for him, but couldn't feed it. Finally, he simply pried his mouth open and poured it in.

After taking three sets of medicine, Jiang Yue's body felt a little better. Sometimes he would wake up and ask Su Ling about Nalan Xue's current situation. After asking about Nalan Xue's current situation, he would fall back to sleep.

Finally, Su Ling felt that it was impossible to let Jiang Yue continue like this, so he took matters into his own hands and found a few people who had grown up with Jiang Yue and were as close as brothers to discuss a countermeasure.

Come.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something bad has happened! Something big, something bad has happened! Princess, Princess, she is going to be in big trouble!"

Feng Duan was waiting next to Sima Shang, and he was well informed. After asking around, he added fuel to the fire, "created" a trouble, "set it" on Nalan Xue, and came to report to Jiang Yue.

As soon as he heard Feng Duan's voice and shouted that something was going to happen to Nalan Xue, Jiang Yue, who was still in a daze, suddenly jumped up from the couch, grabbed his collar, and

I asked him anxiously. Is there still a little bit of lack of energy?

"The king, the princess built a new city, and the people spread the good name, and set up a memorial tablet for longevity. This news spread to Sima Qing's ears. Furthermore, the third prince of Mo State, Sima Yue, misled him and said

She wants to rebel, and now, Sima Qing is already planning to attack her!"

Feng Duan was startled. He hurriedly told Jiang Yue the words he had made up a long time ago. They all discussed, "Severe diseases require strong medicine." Now, Jiang Yue is like this. If not,

Hurry up and think of something to make him nervous. I'm afraid he will... really become a useless person!

Everyone knows that beauty can bring disaster to life or death. Even a wise man like Jiang Yue couldn't escape it, let alone others!

"really?!"

Jiang Yue still had a sick look on his face, but his spirit was completely lifted, "Where is she? Is she injured?!"
