Tuoba Xiao laughed crazily, making it impossible for Liu Qiaoer to scold or hit him. Suddenly, she realized why Tuoba Xiao was so crazy.
She wouldn't have saved someone who shouldn't have been saved.
Liu Qiao'er couldn't beat Tuoba Xiao, so she sat obediently in the carriage, ate and drank as usual, and never spoke to Tuoba Xiao again.
Tuoba Xiao glanced at the cold-faced Liu Qiaoer and smiled.
"Do you regret saving me?"
"I am very grateful to you. My body was already in a state of disrepair, but after the miracle doctor's treatment, I am now as healthy as a normal person."
"If I had met you three years earlier, the emperor of Northern Qiang would be mine now. Fortunately, it's not too late now."
"Qiao'er, I, Tuoba Xiao, am not an ungrateful person. When I become emperor, I will make you my queen. You have too many secrets that fascinate me."
Tuoba Xiao talked to himself, it was hard not to be moved by his obsessed peach blossom eyes.
But it was the first time that Liu Qiaoer met such an extreme man, and no matter how handsome he looked, she was still scared.
Along the way, Liu Qiaoer spoke less and Tuoba Xiao spoke more. In the one year they had known each other, they had never spoken more than ten sentences.
Unexpectedly, along the way, Tuoba Xiao was like a chatterbox and told Liu Qiaoer all his experiences from childhood to adulthood.
Although Tuoba Xiao was the eldest prince of the Northern Qiang Kingdom, he was not the crown prince, only because the emperor was also very young, and Tuoba Xiao showed outstanding talent in governing the country at a young age.
When he was sixteen years old, more than half of the ministers in the court suggested to the emperor that Tuoba Xiao should be allowed to participate in state affairs and be made the crown prince.
The Qiang Emperor at that time was reluctant to go against the opinions of his ministers, and had already planned to draft a rule to make Tuoba Xiao the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Xiao fell ill after returning from a border patrol.
It was originally just a minor cold, but the imperial physician treated it for more than a year and still couldn't cure it.
Tuoba Xiao, who was coughing so hard that he was about to vomit blood, had already realized that something was wrong and quietly went into the palace to see the Queen.
The queen felt sorry for her son and recommended the Poison God's apprentice to him.
Only then did Tuoba Xiao understand that his father did not actually intend to let him recover from his illness. During the year of illness, although the father was kind and the son was filial, Tuoba Xiao's rights were gradually exploited.
Tuoba Xiao was too aggressive and even caused his father to be jealous. After learning from his mistakes, Tuoba Xiao simply claimed that he was poisoned and stayed at home to recuperate.
In this way, the Qiang Emperor also supported the second prince and the third prince Tuoba Ling.
The second prince was barbaric and rude, and even more ambitious. After suppressing the third prince, he attempted to kill Tuoba Xiao.
As a result, he was killed by Tuoba Xiao.
For this, Tuoba Xiao was reprimanded by the Qiang Emperor and was reprimanded for three years.
During this period, the third prince Tuoba Ling continued to rise. Having learned from the shortcomings of the second prince, he became much more low-key.
If the Third Prince's mother had not attempted to seize the position of Queen, Tuoba Xiao would not have attacked Tuoba Ling in order to protect his mother.
However, in the past three years, Tuoba Xiao was poisoned without knowing it, and his body was ruined. Even with the help of the Poison God's disciple to detoxify him, his body was already in tatters.
Later, Tuoba Xiao led the army to attack Da Zhou, actually just wanting to give the Sixth Prince, who had the same father and mother, a chance to perform.
Man proposes, God disposes. The Sixth Prince did not rise, and Tuoba Ling came back.
Tuoba Ling controlled the troops and was unwilling to fight with the Great Zhou, which just happened to be in line with the wishes of the Qiang Emperor.
During the year that Tuoba Xiao was treated by Liu Qiaoer, Tuoba Ling began to clean up those who supported the eldest prince and develop his own power.
But when Tuoba Xiao woke up, he had already started to fight back unconsciously and contributed to the rise of the Sixth Prince.
Now Tuoba Ling is dead, Du Zixu is dead, the Qiang Emperor was drugged by Tuoba Xiao and his health is getting worse day by day, and the power of the Sixth Prince is still very young.
Tuoba Xiao has every chance to realize his dream of ascending the throne.
Maybe he didn't consider Liu Qiaoer as an enemy at all, maybe he had a very good chance of winning.
He told Liu Qiaoer all about his power, various tricks and conspiracies.
Tuoba Xiao said confidently: "Now if I want the throne, I can get it when I return. Even if I don't want it, I can give it to my sixth brother, and he will only listen to me."
What he meant was that he had the final say in the Northern Qiang Kingdom.
Liu Qiaoer was so irritated by his arrogance that she couldn't help but retort: "If that's the case, why do you still want to go to Mobei? What if you die in Mobei, then all your plans will be ruined."
Tuoba Xiao sneered, "Because being an emperor is no longer my interest. I found something more interesting than being an emperor."
Liu Qiaoer frowned: "What's the matter?"
Tuoba Xiao suddenly came up to Liu Qiao'er and said, "Be your man."
"You." Liu Qiao'er's face turned pale with anger, "How shameless."
Tuoba Xiao didn't care at all that Liu Qiao'er scolded him. The corners of his mouth curled up in a wicked smile.
"I have had someone investigate your life story thoroughly. You are a peasant girl who has learned a unique medical skill. However, because of your low status, you are unable to fall in love with the man you love."
"Lu Yunzheng is a man of extraordinary talent in the legend. He was a poet at the age of three, a scholar at the age of seven, and a Jinshi at the age of seventeen. It is said that when he appeared in the capital, he was favored by many noble ladies, especially Princess Mingxin, who fell in love with him."
When talking about the past, Liu Qiaoer's expression became gloomy.
Yes, although she saved Lu Yunzheng, there seemed to be a huge gap between the two of them because of their social status, and they could never get along.
Tuoba Xiao said: "I want to meet him. If possible, I want to persuade him to give up you, because you will be my woman sooner or later."
Liu Qiaoer rolled her eyes in anger: "Lu Yunzheng is a man of steel after all, it's not easy for him to agree to something."
"Besides, I don't agree with you wanting to be with me. I advise you to give up on this idea."
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Xiao smiled evilly and said, "Don't give up, wait until the poison takes effect, then we can talk about it. Maybe then you will beg me to be with you."
Liu Qiaoer was so angry that her chest hurt. She really didn't know how the poison was made, and she didn't know why Tuoba Xiao did that.
Although Liu Qiaoer has read many novels, the male protagonists in the novels are all love-brained, the kind that would disregard even the kingdom for love.
But in real life, Liu Qiaoer has never seen any of them.
Including Lu Yunzheng, he also passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom before he began to consider Liu Qiaoer's marriage, and because of Mrs. Lu's opposition, he compromised again and again.
This was the first time Liu Qiaoer had seen someone like Tuoba Xiao who was so clear-minded and focused in his goals.
It doesn’t matter, as long as she sees Lu Yunzheng and takes back the space, Tuoba Xiao will no longer be a threat to her.
The carriage was about to reach the edge of Mohe River and cross the territory of Northern Qiang.
The delegation set up camp here. Before Liu Qiaoer got off the carriage, suddenly, an arrow shot towards the carriage with a "ding" sound.
Tuoba Xiao hugged Liu Qiaoer's waist, jumped off the carriage, and rolled to the side of the carriage with her. He hugged Liu Qiaoer tightly.
"Don't be afraid. Even if I die, I will protect you."
The diplomatic mission to Da Zhou was attacked.
Liu Qiaoer glanced at the arrow that had been shot out: "Didn't you say that there were no enemies in Northern Qiang? Who wants to kill you?"
