Zhou Xian leaned softly on the couch, a strand of black hair was stained by her saliva at the corner of her mouth, and the hair on her head was already scattered. She thought of her previous loss of composure, and she had no idea what she was doing at the time, and she was immediately ashamed.
Her mind suddenly flashed with her mother's earnest teachings and the ugliness of those fickle and lowly women described by her mother. For a moment, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Guo Shao's voice said: I saw that you were nervous, so I wanted to comfort you first. I haven't done anything to you yet.
"Stop talking," Zhou Xian said with a red face.
Guo Shaodao: Since it is like this
Zhou Xian turned around and glanced at Guo Shao, her face became even redder. She quickly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his face. When she wiped his lips, her hands were shaking: How could you do that to me
Guo Shao's face suddenly turned very ugly: I couldn't help it because of pity, you must not tell anyone, this is a secret between us.
Zhou Xian complained: Who can I tell
Can I still do the next thing? Guo Shao asked hurriedly.
Zhou Xian sighed, thinking that he had already lost his moral integrity, so he naturally had to satisfy him. Anyway, the man would only need a little time to do it, and he would not pester him anymore if he succeeded.
After an unknown amount of time, the first rooster crowed from afar. Zhou Xian lay on the couch, sweating profusely as if she was seriously ill. Her face was extremely pale and she was breathing weakly. She slightly opened her lifeless eyes and saw two rows of imprints on the sandalwood pillow and a mess around. She felt as if her soul had been drained out.
Zhou Xian said quietly: It's already daybreak, General Guo, are you trying to kill yourself? But my bones are all falling apart.
Guo Shao gave up and got up to cover her body with a blanket. Zhou Xian felt warm and her heart was slightly moved. Soon she heard the sound of someone getting dressed. She asked: What did you promise me
I will try my best. Guo Shaodao.
Zhou Xian felt relieved after hearing this and soon fell asleep in a daze.
Later, she was pushed awake. Zhou Xian opened her eyes and saw Chen Jiali's face. Zhou Xian slowly came back to her senses and hurriedly hugged the quilt and sat up. She saw that the room was very tidy. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked calmly: "Cousin, have you cleaned the room?"
Chen Jiali shook her head and said: I just came in to wake you up. It's already noon, and the Sixth Young Master should be back in the afternoon. You can't sleep like this anymore.
You've made me suffer. Zhou Xian frowned and said. For a moment, he felt like he had a dream. When he turned around, the imprint on the pillow was still there. He sat there in a daze for a while.
Chen Jiali reached into the quilt and said, "Get up quickly. I'll ask someone to change the blanket. General Guo has promised you."
Hmm. Zhou Xian lowered his head and thought for a while. Chen Jiali's conspiracy did not succeed, but actually helped her. Otherwise, the court might really covet Li Hongji's tribute.
But Chen Jiali obviously has bad intentions
No matter what, Zhou Xian didn't dare to offend her and could only say nicely: Cousin, you must keep it a secret for me. If you tell my husband behind my back, I will hate you for the rest of my life.
Sister, how could the things I arranged harm you? Chen Jiali said kindly.
Zhou Xian said coldly: You swear.
Chen Jiali was stunned for a moment, seemed a little guilty, but still swore as he said.
Zhou Xian got up and tidied herself up, only to feel her back ache, legs trembling, and her body as if it was empty. She sat on a stool and said, "Cousin, please ask me to boil some water. I want to take a bath and change my clothes."
Chen Jiali went out to give orders as she was told.
Zhou Xian sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, and stretched out her jade hand to support her forehead, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She had figured out what she should do beforehand and was prepared, but she had never expected it to be like this. Overnight, Zhou Xian's experience was completely overturned, and she experienced an unprecedented feeling for the first time. It turned out that it was not something that could be endured with disgust.
What his mother said was right. The slutty woman had really lost herself in the act and had no sense of shame at all. Zhou Xian originally thought that he was just being insulted, but the price he paid was far more than that.
Zhou Xian looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said silently: I will forget it after a while. How can I still care about someone I have only met once
At this moment, Chen Jiali came in hurriedly and urged: "Don't take a bath, change your clothes quickly and comb your hair. The Sixth Young Master has returned from the court and is on his way."
Didn’t he come back in the afternoon? Zhou Xian quickly collected his thoughts and faced the urgent matter.
Chen Jiali said: I don’t know how he came back early. He was supposed to meet a minister in the afternoon.
Zhou Xian didn't care about anything else. She changed into a skirt and then quickly put on her makeup in front of the bronze mirror. Her face was a little pale, so she deliberately applied some powder and painted her lips with light red rouge.
I carefully checked every part of her body, and only her eyes showed fatigue, while she concealed the rest of her body.
Not long after, he met Li Yu as expected.
I met with the guest minister Zan Jurun yesterday, and there was a dinner party tonight, so I sent someone back to inform him in the evening. But today, Prime Minister Wang Pu did not see me. Li Yu seemed at a loss.
He glanced at Zhou Xian and immediately looked him up and down. Zhou Xian thought that the guest minister had no real power at all, so of course he was polite to everyone. She said calmly: "Why are you looking at me like this, my husband? What's wrong with that?"
I don't know, it's a bit strange. Li Yu said casually.
Zhou Xian said: You didn’t come home last night, I was worried about you and didn’t sleep well.
Li Yu suddenly realized: No wonder I saw you were so tired. Then he continued: Li Hongji's tricks were too vicious and sinister. The Zhou Dynasty was short of money. The result of his writing this letter was unpredictable.
Zhou Xian heaved a sigh of relief, her heart pounding, and she didn't listen to what Li Yu said. She just felt very uncomfortable, her legs tightly pressed together in her skirt, and she was thinking about taking a bath.
At this time, Li Yu suddenly shouted: Ehuang
Zhou Xian shuddered and asked hurriedly: What's wrong
What did I just say? Li Yu frowned.
Zhou Xian said: You mentioned Li Hongji's memorial to pay tribute. I am helping my husband find a solution.
Li Yu held her hand and said: You won't leave me to find another way out, right? Li Hongji has always coveted your beauty.
Husband, don't you understand my heart? Zhou Xiandao, how much I have paid for you
When she said this, she felt extremely ashamed for betraying her husband and deceiving him with countless vows. Zhou Xian was almost in tears. She held Li Yu's hands tightly with both hands and choked with sobs: It would be better if we died together, so there would be no need to worry so much.
Li Yu said: I can't give up so easily. When I think of Li Hongji's proud look, I feel unwilling.
