When things got to this point, Du Suxi was still a little confused and even a little confused. Why was she so deceived by the beauty that she agreed to Helian Kuang's request
And, more importantly, she was not angry at all, so willingly that even Du Suxi was unwilling to admit it now. When she heard Helian begging her to forgive him, not only was she not angry, On the contrary, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that a big stone that had been weighing on my heart finally fell to the ground.
No matter how much Du Suxi insisted, He Liankuang insisted on leaving a team of 100 people beside Du Suxi to protect Du Suxi's safety.
Helian Kuang was so determined and the stalemate was fruitless, Du Suxi had no choice but to compromise and agreed. However, Du Suxi asked that these one hundred people be mobilized by himself. This was to prevent He Liankuang from mobilizing them. On a whim, Lian Kuang knocked himself out and took him back to Tiansheng.
Although he had put aside his hatred towards He Liankuang and the two even had an ambiguous relationship, Du Suxi's vigilance had been cultivated over more than 20 years and had become a habit and a kind of nature. It is not something that can be changed easily. He Liankuang knew this very well and knew that if he was too aggressive, it would be counterproductive. Therefore, he did not force Du Suxi and agreed with a smile.
Anyway, his ultimate goal is just to protect Du Suxi's safety. Although one hundred people are not many, if there are one hundred people, they are all carefully selected and trained by him, and they are all first-class players in physical and mental skills. Woolen cloth
Sometimes there are many people, but it may not be useful.
Sitting in the courtyard, Du Suxi squinted her eyes slightly as usual, basking in the sun, looking comfortable and content.
He Liankuang learned from He Liankuang's subordinates that Tiansheng's emperor died but did not leave an edict to pass on the throne. Now, it is the moment when Tiansheng's country is in turmoil. Helian Kuang is sending a hundred people to Du Suxi After that, he immediately set off back to Tiansheng.
I didn't expect that this matter would happen so quickly. I don't know if Wei Qing played any role in it. If not, that's all. If there are any clues found out, I'm afraid it will be in front of the group of eager advisers. , I'm afraid there will be no way out. This is what Du Suxi is worried about.
At some point, Moshang Xiangfang will probably be implicated, right? I don’t know who will be the next king to succeed? Is it He Lianheng, or someone else? Or, could it be Helian Kuang? There was no way to know everything. Although Du Suxi was anxious in her heart, she still looked leisurely and contented on the surface. She went out to the garden to enjoy the flowers every day at sunrise, and returned home to enjoy the flowers and the moon at sunset.
Life was so carefree and happy.
At the same time, the news that the master of Xiaoyao Valley agreed to her expedition was spread everywhere in Xiaoyao Valley.
Since ancient times, there has never been a shilling for a woman to lead troops in war. Du Suxi can be said to be the first person in the world. In addition, what she said on the city wall that day in front of tens of thousands of people, Suddenly, Du Suxi's fame far surpassed that of many talented women.
However, unlike the talented women who talked about and yearned for her, these people's emotions towards Du Suxi were somewhat complicated.
In this world, there are mixed opinions about Du Suxi. Some people praise Du Suxi for his lofty nature and ambition, while others criticize Du Suxi for not knowing how high the world is and for being nothing more than a child with a yellow mouth. These two sides completely formed a far apart extreme, and the quarrel about her never stopped. Du Suxi kept all this in her ears, but just listened to it, and never expressed any of her opinions. In the eyes of those scholars who admired her, they felt that Du Suxi was of noble character and had a clear artistic conception of "everyone is drunk but I am sober". Invisibly, Du Suxi's praise became even more intense.
When Du Suxi heard this, she almost spit out the tea she was drinking. These people, no wonder even the ancients said that people's hearts are unpredictable.
The human heart is indeed unpredictable.
Du Suxi felt that she was simply arrogant and arrogant.
She was so arrogant to the extreme that she deeply expressed her disdain for these century-old families and dignitaries in Xiaoyao Valley, causing everyone to hate her. She should be disdainful and despised by everyone. She should be reviled by everyone.
For this, according to her plan, she doesn't care at all, it's just scolding, she won't lose any meat, and everything is under her control. The more these people hate her, the more she will Be happy.
Regarding this point, Du Suxi's mentality is very cheerful.
However, she never expected that things would happen like this. Are these people mentally ill? Actually started to praise her? It was obvious that nothing she had done could be promoted as a positive image. It was obvious that she just wanted others to hate her, but unexpectedly, some people started praising her and making her a role model for all women. She dares to love and hate, and is not afraid of power.
Du Suxi felt something strange in her heart. The feeling of losing control of the situation made her feel very unhappy. However, she also couldn't laugh or cry. Did these people feel that they had nothing to do? Do you think she is more fun? So you want to play such a game with yourself? Drag your reputation out of the mud
Du Suxi had no way of knowing. Fortunately, the promise from the owner of Xiaoyao Valley had been made, so she didn't need to worry. She could just wait for the time to come in two months to go to the battlefield. For her, those reputations None of them mattered, so she simply turned a blind eye to those invitations or posts to meet with them, and never agreed to anyone.
But she didn't know that in just a few days, those invitations would cover the entire desk, and the number was terrifying. When the housekeeper saw the passionate admiration for Du Suxi from so many famous nobles, he was even more panicked. He thought that Du Suxi was some kind of big shot, and served him more and more carefully.
It can be said that Du Suxi's life was extremely comfortable.
Even the owner of Xiaoyao Valley, whom Du Suxi was most worried about, never summoned her once to settle the score with her since he ordered her to go to the battlefield that day!
Although he didn't understand what the owner of Xiaoyao Valley was thinking, Du Suxi was content with this result as it came, and didn't think too much about it, and just enjoyed life with peace of mind.
With such delicious food and drink, one month has passed in the blink of an eye. Her originally slender body actually gained a lot of weight, and her brows began to bloom with the delicate beauty of a girl.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Du Suxi couldn't help but sigh secretly. Sure enough, there are good mountains and good water to support people. No wonder those ladies from famous families are more delicate and beautiful than ordinary people. Not all of them live such a pampered life. Their skin is like gelatin, their eyebrows are like distant daisy, and they are so fragile. ? It's really a good life.
After sighing a few words, Du Suxi also understood that she was afraid that it would be impossible to live such a life. Her life was too turbulent, and she was afraid that after leaving Xiaoyao Valley, she would never have such a peaceful time again, so , Du Suxi cherished this warm time and enjoyed every moment of peace with all her heart.
But she didn't know that she was so leisurely, but Tiansheng had triggered an extremely raging storm over the throne. Several qualified princes were eyeing the throne, and they were extremely fierce under the open and covert fights. nervous.
He Lianheng had not had a good night's sleep for three days and three nights. If Du Suxi were here at this time, she would definitely be surprised to find that the originally gentle and elegant man has become extremely haggard at this time. His eyes are red, swollen, and covered with bloodshot eyes. He looked overly tired, so it was time for him to take a good rest.
However, he just leaned on the table and chair, squinted his eyes for a moment, then forced himself to open his eyes, looked at the housekeeper who was waiting silently when he saw him sleeping, and asked hurriedly.
"How's it going? How's it going? How's Du Suxi doing? Has anything happened?"
He has been monitoring He Lian Kuang's every move. A month and a half ago, He Lian Kuang suddenly disappeared secretly. He must have guessed the news that He Lian Kuang had Du Suxi. Otherwise, He Lian Kuang was ill when his father was ill. At this critical moment, I would never leave Kyoto in person.
The only thing that could make Helian Kuang give up monitoring the ever-changing court and leave was the news about Du Suxi.
He immediately sent his most elite troops to investigate Helian Kuang's whereabouts. His guess was indeed correct. He Lian Kuang really had news about Du Suxi.
However, He Lian Kuang was too cautious. It took him a long time to investigate He Lian Kuang's whereabouts. Before further investigation, his father died, and He Lian Kuang immediately hurried from Xiaoyao Valley. After arriving, he had to suspend the investigation of this matter and concentrate on dealing with the consequences of his father's death.
Strictly speaking, he didn't have much desire for the throne, but he had to fight for it. His father's death was too sudden, and he didn't even leave an imperial edict to establish a new emperor. Several people, including him, All powerful princes have a chance to become emperor, and they are each other's thorns in each other's side. At this time, even if he cruelly retreats, it will be useless. Several princes, including Helian Kuang, will not let him go. If you leave him, even if he really gives up, he will still think that he is a deceiver and will still attack him.
There was no way out, so he could only fight forward and secretly sent people to investigate Du Suxi's whereabouts in Xiaoyao Valley.
It is said to be an investigation, but in fact it is not an investigation at all. Du Suxi's name is known to everyone in Xiaoyao Valley. After hearing what Du Suxi said while standing on the city wall, While he was talking eloquently, He Lianheng was startled for a moment, and then a bitter smile with unknown meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth. His eyes fell on a void where there was nothing, and he sighed and murmured to himself.
"Du Suxi, I didn't expect that you would cause trouble wherever you go. This is good, and it also lets me know that you are safe and sound."
The old housekeeper, who had watched He Lianheng grow up since he was a child, looked at He Lianheng's face and began to persuade him with some distress.
"Your Highness, you should go and rest first. Miss Du is fine. You have been asking her every day for the past few days. You should take good care of your body."
This was a tactful persuasion, to persuade He Lianheng not to waste his body for a woman. As an old slave, he could only persuade him in this way.
He Lianheng's eyebrows immediately furrowed and he stared at the old housekeeper, an aura of calmness and self-importance invisibly emanating from him.
The old housekeeper followed He Lianheng for a long time. At this time, it was impossible to tell that He Lianheng was angry, so he hurriedly explained.
"Your Highness, your health is important. Please take care of yourself, Your Highness."
He Lianheng said nothing.
It wasn't until quite a while later that he heard a shallow, subtle sigh. "I know, I'm fine, just hope she's safe."
The voice was soft and even had a sense of luxury.
The old housekeeper suddenly raised his head and looked at the calmness on He Lianheng's face. He had watched His Highness grow up, but he had never seen His Highness care so much about someone, so worried about him, and even got angry. With this kind of expectation.
It shouldn't be like this. He is a prince, and he should have the reserved and precious pride of a prince.
However, he could not see any trace of high spirits in his eyes.
After thinking about it, the old housekeeper finally plucked up the courage, looked at He Lianheng and spoke.
"Your Highness is a member of the royal family above tens of millions of people. Why do you do this to a woman who is described as thin? Even that alluring beauty is not worthy of Your Highness."
The voice was sincere, but He Lianheng seemed not to hear it. He still stared at the void and murmured.
"you do not understand."
The old butler was still saying something, but He Lianheng had already closed his eyes and slowly opened his mouth to give instructions. "Just back off."
"Yes." Reluctantly, the housekeeper did not dare to say anything and withdrew respectfully. But in his heart, he really felt sorry for He Lianheng, and he was secretly thinking that now that His Highness was so weak, it seemed that he would have to find Taohua to cure him. Nowadays, the only person who can influence His Highness and can speak in front of His Highness is probably that little girl.
