"Sister, my parents have arrived in Jinyang City now. You can see them when you can. You have been away from home for several years. Every time my mother talks about you, she cries very sadly. It is all her fault for being happy. Now You are almost going to be a mother, but your parents haven¡¯t met your son-in-law yet, which is really unreasonable.¡±
"Zhao'er, shut up." Wu Shun raised his eyebrows lightly and said in a stern tone: "My husband is the current prince, the heir apparent of a country, and your brother-in-law. How can you be so disrespectful and call him by his first name?" "
After a pause, Wu Shun softened a lot and sighed softly: "My husband has great ambitions and is busy with official duties, how can he be tied down by his children's personal affairs? My sister is not very talented and has little knowledge. She cannot assist her husband like other sisters, but she cannot become a burden to her husband." "
"Besides, Daqi has been in turmoil these past few years, and there are countless people who want to kill my husband behind the scenes. I don't want to be a tool for others to threaten me, and I don't want my parents to be implicated because of this. Do you understand?"
"Humph." Wu Zhao frowned dissatisfied and said displeasedly: "Sister, why do you always speak for him? All your thoughts are on him, but how much time does he spend with you in a year? , in my opinion, he only has the country and the country in his eyes, and the poor people on the street are probably more important to him than you."
"What a huge resentment." Wu Shun was about to speak when a clear voice came from outside the house. Then Gao Xing pushed the door open and said with an indifferent expression: "I heard you scolding me from so far away. Wu Zhao, you are so brave."
"Husband, Zhao'er is young and ignorant, and behaves rudely. You must not be the same as her." Wu Shun quickly stood up and said eagerly,
"Sister, I didn't say anything wrong." Wu Zhao's brows twisted into the character "Chuan", his pretty face was covered with frost, and his beautiful eyes were full of resentment.
"If you still don't shut up, apologize to the prince." Wu Shun was furious and pushed Wu Zhao hard, then smiled and said to Gao Xing: "Husband, sit down, I will pour you tea." As he said, Wu Shun He also smacked Wu Zhao, but Wu Zhao turned a blind eye and showed no intention of bowing to Gao Xing.
"You are really ignorant." Gao Xing sneered and said with murderous intent: "Go and wait outside. It just so happens that I will settle the old and new accounts with you."
"Xing Xing, others are afraid of you, but I, Wu Zhao, am not afraid, hum." Wu Zhao glared at Xing Xing coldly, turned around and left, standing tall and straight, extremely proud.
"Husband, Zhao'er is still young and ignorant. For my sake, please don't blame her. Please, husband."
Wu Zhao left alone, but Wu Shun was extremely anxious. While she was begging for happiness, she was about to kneel down. This really frightened Happy, and he rushed forward to hold her in his arms. Angry and helpless, he said: "Shun'er, what are you doing? In your eyes, am I just a murderous executioner who doesn't care about friendship? What if you are pregnant, so reckless, and hurt our child? .¡±
Wu Shun was startled. His hazy eyes looked at Gao Xing's eyes full of warmth and reproach. The panic and worry in his heart were instantly replaced by warmth and sweetness.
Thinking that he was just a poor prince of the Marquis at the beginning, who would have expected that he is now the prince of Qi who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. While Wu Shun was secretly happy to have found a young and promising husband, How could she not be ashamed of herself? After all, compared to Gao Xing's status and family background, she was much inferior. As a result, she could not help but worry a little about gains and losses. In addition, caring would lead to chaos, so she was so rude.
"Shun'er, the crown prince is just a position. I am actually no different from ordinary people. I am your husband and Zhao'er's brother-in-law. How could I hurt her."
Gao Gao hugged Wu Shun tightly, and gently stroked the soft hair on top of Wu Shun's head with his chin, feeling the two hearts beating one strong and one weak, and the smile on his face was so peaceful and peaceful,
"Husband, I'm sorry." Wu Shun had a satisfied and sweet smile on his face, but the tears from the corners of his eyes slowly slipped down and seeped into his happy clothes.
"I can't give you everything, I owe you so much." Gao Xing shook his head, lowered his head and kissed Wu Shun's hair, and said shamefully: "Zhao'er is right, I am indeed not a qualified husband. I will let my father-in-law and mother-in-law know tomorrow. Come to the house, although this is not etiquette, but your current health is really inconvenient to travel."
"Thank you, husband." Wu Shun was filled with joy and a look of happiness on his face.
Gao Gao didn't say anything, he just put his hand gently on Wu Shun's round belly, feeling the vitality of the little guy who was about to be born. His whole body seemed to fall into a strange and warm state, which made him intoxicated and unwilling to wake up. ,
When Gao Xing came out of Wu Shun's room, an hour had passed, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by something as cold and gloomy as water."Follow me."
Wu Zhao was tearing the petals out of boredom when a happy and indifferent voice suddenly came from behind her, making her tremble. Her heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself: Is he really angry? Is it because I am disrespectful to him? Or is it because of Shuo? state affairs,
Immediately, the cowardice in Wu Zhao's heart was dispelled by pride and anger. If it weren't for me, Shuozhou would have fallen into the hands of the Turks. I was not wrong. Why should he blame me? It is clear that he has betrayed his sister. I am afraid that he will do something wrong. very,
Throwing the already unsightly flowers in his hand on the ground, Wu Zhao stood up calmly, looked at Gao Xing's back coldly and said, "Let's see what you can do to me." After saying that, Wu Zhao followed Gao Xing with his head held high and entered the study.
"Who asked you to sit down?"
As soon as he entered the door, Wu Zhao sat on the chair opposite Gao Xing, and Gao Xing immediately said angrily,
But Wu Zhao just raised his brows, sat down calmly, and looked at Gao Xing quietly.
"You are such a daring Wu Zhao, do you really think that I dare not kill you?" Gao Xing laughed angrily, with a strong murderous aura exuding from his body.
"As long as you are not afraid of my sister being sad, just do it." Wu Zhao was not afraid, but said with a smile on his face,
"Okay, okay." Gao Xing said angrily and sneered: "I admit that I can't touch you, but the Yue Worshiping Sect ignores the rules and acts arbitrarily. I want to kill people, but I don't have much scruples."
"You." Wu Zhao's face finally changed slightly, and he stared at Gao Xing angrily and said, "Despicable, we in the Moon Worshiping Sect have given you advice and worked hard for you, but you actually crossed the river and burned the bridge, and broke your promise. It's really shameful."
"snort."
Gao Xing snorted coldly and scolded: "Let me ask you, who gave you the courage? You dared to kidnap the imperial officials and order the killing of the compatriots in Da Qi. How can you, a young girl in the bloom of youth, be so vicious and cruel? .¡±
"Of course extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times." Wu Zhao stared at Gao Xing without showing any weakness and said confidently: "If those people are allowed to enter the city, the Turkic army will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city. If Shuozhou is lost, how many people will suffer from the war? Du Du, your pedantic kindness will only harm more people. I really don¡¯t understand why Master would choose you."
After a pause, a hint of sarcasm emerged from the corner of Wu Zhao's mouth, "What's more, your hands are already covered in blood. Isn't it too hypocritical to be so kind to a woman?"
To Wu Zhao¡¯s surprise, he was not as angry as he was happy, but the anger on his face completely disappeared. His expression suddenly became much darker, and a touch of sadness appeared in his deep eyes.
With a long sigh, he slowly said happily: "You are right. Under the circumstances at that time, killing everyone was the most correct choice, but this choice was too cruel. If I had been there at that time, I would probably have led the army to fight and escorted All the people come into the city."
Wu Zhao was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and forgot to speak for a moment. He looked at her with a smile and said solemnly: "I am a warrior and I hope to do my best to protect every citizen of Daqi, but I am not qualified. Commander, I want to thank you this time. Without you, Shuozhou might have been lost, and the Turkic army might have arrived at Jinyang City."
"You, you, me." Even with Wu Zhao's astuteness, he didn't know what to say at this time. It was hard to imagine that Gao Xing, instead of condemning her, actually recognized her actions and sincerely expressed his gratitude to her. thank,
"Zhao'er, can you tell me what your biggest dream is."
Faced with this sudden question, Wu Zhao fell into silence again. She didn¡¯t understand why Gao Xing asked this, and at the same time she was also asking herself secretly,
Gao Gao did not give Wu Zhao much time to think, and said again: "Zhao'er, if I give you a chance to govern a country, can you make the people rich?"
"What,."
He was shocked just now, but now he was more shocked. Wu Zhao could hardly believe his ears. He wanted me to join politics as an official. Is this possible? I, is it possible? A series of questions came to my mind, making Wu Zhao a little confused. ,
Gaoxing looked at Wu Zhao with burning eyes and said in a very solemn and solemn tone: "Zhao'er, I can give you a chance to enter the official career, but the height you can reach in the end can only depend on your own efforts. I will not give you a chance to enter the official career." With your special help, maybe you will have a place at the forefront of the Golden Palace in the future, I look forward to it."
Taking a deep breath, Wu Zhao raised his head again, looked at Gao Xing firmly and persistently, and said loudly: "I will prove it to you."
He smiled happily and said: "Okay, I will give you ten days to prepare. After ten days, you can go to Xinghua City, Shandong Province to find Cui Jishu, and he will arrange a position for you."
"I will return the position of leader of the Moon Worship Sect to you."?The Supreme Elder¡¯s. Wu Zhao stood up, bowed his hands and said, "If His Royal Highness is fine, Wu Zhao will leave now." "
"I will bring you to my place early tomorrow, and we will pick them up together."
Wu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the meaning of happiness. He was secretly happy for his sister Wu Shun, but then he thought of something. A blush flashed across his face inexplicably, and he looked a little confused when he saw happiness.
As soon as he sent Wu Zhao away, he saw a capable guard coming quickly and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Emperor has a decree, please go to the Imperial Study Room."
