Sure enough, the voice of the second-class maid guarding the door came from outside: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Xiuyi froze and could only say reluctantly: "I'm fine."
After sending the maid away, she stared at the silver fox with a red face and said, "Put me down!"
Only then did the silver fox realize that he was holding her against the wall like a little lamb.
He let go of his hand and coughed slightly: "I'm sorry about that, I just..."
"Pah!" He slapped him in the face unceremoniously, knocking his handsome face away.
"Even if I agree to marry you, it doesn't mean you can insult me and be frivolous at will. You and I are not married!" Xu Xiuyi wiped her tears with the back of her hand and lowered her voice angrily.
It should have been a very powerful reprimand, but her voice was still trembling, with a softness that made people feel pitiful.
The silver fox couldn't become colder anymore, so he just licked the sore corner of his lips.
He watched Xu Xiuyi trembling and reached for the robe on the shelf, but he took it twice and couldn't hold it firmly.
Silver Fox picked it up and put it on for her.
Xu Xiuyi took a breath and stepped back a few steps: "If you have nothing to do, just leave. Don't come back again. If you want to break off the engagement, just tell my father. If you don't want to break off the engagement, I will marry you!"
Seeing this, Silver Fox wanted to say something.
But Xu Xiuyi has regained her composure: "Don't come over! I will do what you promised, but first, I will not marry you until my father's plan is completed. This does not constitute a violation of the promise given to you by my Xu family."
promise!"
"Is there a second one?" Silver Fox narrowed his silver-grey eyes and stared at her.
Xu Xiuyi took a breath and continued: "Second, even if I marry you, just marry me back and keep me as a wooden sculpture. You can have as many women as you like, but don't mess with me! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Yinhu raised his eyebrows dumbly, holding his chest and looking at the girl confronting him in front of him.
Xu Xiuyi turned around, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, pointed it at him, and said coldly: "Otherwise I will kill you!"
She didn't want to get married in the first place, but now that it's become like this, she can only guard her body and mind!
She hated the way she had just gone soft on him and almost allowed him to do whatever he wanted to her out of control! She knew from the day she started running the business that losing control was never a good thing!
Silver Fox froze and his face darkened: "Xu Xiuyi!"
"Silver-eyed fox, if I do what I promised you, I won't owe you anything anymore!" Xu Xiuyi bit her lip and glared at him fiercely.
Silver Fox narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a long time, then suddenly said hoarsely: "I'm going on a long trip tomorrow."
Xu Xiuyi didn't know why he suddenly changed the topic, so she just looked at him warily: "Then what?"
"In our Sudan, before a fiancé or husband leaves for a long journey, he will give his wife a gift and tell her that he will return safely from afar." Silver Fox took a box from his arms and placed it on the table.
"This is for you." He said calmly.
Xu Xiuyi was stunned: "You..."
Silver Fox chuckled softly: "Our Sudanese girls are not as conservative as you in the Central Plains. Before your fiancé or husband leaves, you have to spend the whole night doing conjugal things with him, so I don't think there is anything wrong with me about what happened today."
Xu Xiuyi's delicate face turned red again: "Don't tell me this, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand!"
"It doesn't matter. I'm just telling you that if I really want to marry you, I can't worship you like a wooden Buddha. I will sleep with my own woman as much as I want."
He stared straight at Xu Xiuyi and smiled without concealing his gangsterism and desire.
"Guess, will I marry you?"
After saying that, he pointed his toes, and like an agile and aloof wolf, he jumped out of the window and disappeared under the moonlight.
Xu Xiuyi's hand softened, and the sword in her hand instantly fell to the ground with a clang. She lay weakly on the bed, covering her red and swollen lips, feeling uneasy because of Silver Fox's announcement.
…
imperial city
A group of caravans passed the city gate inspection and slowly moved away from the majestic imperial city.
The man dressed as a Miao traveler turned back to look at the towering bluestone city wall in the distance. The muscles on his face trembled slightly, and he was a little stunned.
"Master, it's time to leave. We are not out of danger yet and cannot stay here." The guard leaned over and whispered to the man.
The man closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Everything here originally belonged to Gu, and Gu is the eldest son who is most qualified to inherit everything..."
But now it has fallen to the point of running away in such a panic!
His originally handsome and gentle face had become thin and distorted.
"Your Highness, endure the humiliation and bear the burden before making plans again!" the guard said solemnly.
Shangguan Zhou took a deep breath: "Okay, let's go!"
When he reaches the three southwestern provinces and the Miao territory, he will accumulate power, make a comeback, and take back his own throne!
He turned around and returned to the carriage. Suddenly he remembered something and looked down at the driver: "Where are Chu Yuanbai and others? Didn't we agree to meet outside the imperial city?"
They disguised themselves as traders going to Miao territory, and they all dressed up as Miao traders.
"The young prince cannot meet you directly here. It would be too conspicuous. He went to Qingyun Mountain in the name of hunting and is waiting to meet you at the foot of Qingyun Mountain." The man driving the carriage whispered.
Shangguan Zhou's face darkened, but he also understood that he had no choice.
He endured the humiliation and kept pretending that he was out of control and angry in the East Palace, so that the guards relaxed their vigilance.
Since Chu Yuanbai could take the risk of beheading and secretly transport him out of the palace in Chencang, he probably wouldn't bother with anything.
After all, he is now...
Shangguan Zhou smiled bitterly, what value is there in the capital?
"Your Highness, let's go. If the double we put in the East Palace is discovered, you won't be able to leave!" the attendant said nervously.
Shangguan Zhou nodded: "Let's go!"
The motorcade set off again, but not long after walking, Shangguan Zhou suddenly saw a group of people in white clothes not far away carrying a coffin for a funeral, which happened to be blocking the road ahead.
It was obvious that the coffin was expensive, but the mourners were very low-key. They did not play the suona or even throw paper money. There was no sad expression on the faces of the mourners.
He couldn't help but frown, and asked the people around him warily: "What's going on with this funeral mourner? It looks a bit strange."
The attendant hesitated for a moment, then went forward to check it quietly, and then came back and said in a low voice: "This coffin came from the Duke's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. It is the coffin of the former crown princess. Because of her special status, it must be kept low-key."
Shangguan Zhou was stunned and looked at the black coffin being carried swaying in the distance.
He suddenly ordered coldly: "Later, go and place a stick of incense and some paper money on the princess's grave for me."
Attendant: "..."
They are on the run, but where can they get money for incense and candles?
Everyone is dead, so why bother, Your Highness?
Shangguan Zhou said irritably: "Just do what Gu said!"
The woman died. Seeing the funeral of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, he probably didn't take her seriously and just gave her a ride.
His heart suddenly felt empty.
It's like there's a piece missing, obviously... she's not an important woman!
Ming Yueying's thoughtfulness and tenderness towards him are all fake, she is just a bitch who eats the inside and outside...
If you die, you will die, but why do you still feel so uncomfortable?
Is it because she once occupied his status as a head wife?
Shangguan Zhou sat back in the carriage with an expressionless expression. That's right, the husband and wife spent a night and a hundred days of kindness.
It can be considered a couple's meeting...it will be a little uncomfortable.
