The King of Zhen didn't dare to move.
Yi Qing had said that he was not allowed to move around casually, or he would end up disabled.
How could he win the heart of the beauty if he was disabled? So the King of Zhen endured it.
"Is that Xiang Beizheng blind? Why doesn't he take a fancy to you?" the King of Zhen couldn't help asking.
Xiang Beizheng was the man who had almost become Zisu's husband and now was in charge of the military power in the Southern Border.
As he said this, the King of Zhen couldn't help observing Zisu's reaction, trying to see if she still had feelings for that man.
"No," Zisu said coldly with a sneer. "On the contrary, he knew very well who was easier to control and who would be more beneficial for his own success."
"What a good-for-nothing who depends on a woman," the King of Zhen said disdainfully. He was quite satisfied that he couldn't see the slightest bit of nostalgia on Zisu's face.
Zisu didn't say anything more. The cold eyes and tall figure of Xiang Beizheng appeared in her mind, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists at her sides.
She didn't love Xiang Beizheng. She had always known that.
But she also knew a long time ago that she was going to marry Xiang Beizheng because they had an engagement.
She and Xiang Beizheng would quarrel red - faced over all kinds of national affairs, but she never held a grudge. She regarded him as a comrade - in - arms fighting side by side.
She never thought that one day he would use such despicable means to collude with her younger sister and push her into the abyss.
Xiang Beizheng, Xiang Beizheng...
The King of Zhen looked at her slightly trembling body and suddenly felt that he might have celebrated too early.
After the King of Zhen was able to move, the emperor summoned him into the palace and scolded him severely.
The King of Zhen hung his head obediently and listened to the scolding without refuting.
When the emperor stopped talking and was taking deep breaths to calm down, he raised his head with a fawning smile and asked, "Well, brother emperor, have you finished scolding?"
"No!"
"Oh," the King of Zhen wilted instantly like an eggplant beaten by frost. "Then you drink some water and continue scolding."
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have a fart to let out, just let it out," the emperor scolded irritably.
"Then I'll really say it!" The King of Zhen became extremely excited instantly. "I want to marry Zisu. Could you help me think of a way? I'm thinking that after I marry her, I'll help you pacify the Southern Border. We'll guard it for you there. How about that?"
The green jade paperweight that the emperor was reluctant to part with when Xiao Tian was using it finally flew out past the King of Zhen's forehead and made a hole in the ground.
The emperor even began to doubt if the person in front of him was really his younger brother.
If he was even a bit like their father, he wouldn't be so stupid!
He must take after his mother. The King of Zhen's mother must be incredibly stupid. Otherwise, how could she have such a stupid son!
The King of Zhen said aggrievedly, "If you don't agree, we can discuss it further. What if you knock me into a fool?"
The emperor almost choked to death. He pointed at him and scolded, "Get out of here right now. You can marry a cat or a dog for all I care!"
Anyway, Xiao Tian had said that Zisu didn't like the King of Zhen at all.
He was so stupid. It would be strange if she liked him!
It was only after the King of Zhen left that the emperor remembered that he had summoned the King of Zhen into the palace to warn him to hold on to the military power in his hands and not to act recklessly.
Thinking that he couldn't leave the capital for the time being, the emperor decided to give him a warning when he was about to leave.
Yi Qing continued to wait in her empty medical clinic for patients who seemed never to come. But since Zisu was accompanying her again, the days weren't boring.
After Xiao Tian became the riding and archery teacher in the academy, he had to go to the academy every other day.
Teaching those kids riding and archery wasn't difficult. The difficult part was that those kids had to face his cold face and intimidating aura, and they were all trembling with fear.
The only exception was Baozi. The little guy would grin when he saw Xiao Tian and was happiest during his riding and archery classes.
But he was too young, so Xiao Tian had very low requirements for him. He specially had a pony prepared for him. While the others were squatting in the horse - stance under the hot sun, he was arranged by Xiao Tian to enjoy the cool under a tree.
Since Baozi was young, most people didn't compare with him. But some narrow - minded people thought that Xiao Tian was being partial.
Of course, this kind of thought could only be discussed privately. No one dared to be so reckless as to talk nonsense in front of Xiao Tian.
What really annoyed Xiao Tian was that he often ran into Xu Maozhi, who also taught in the academy.
Xu Maozhi was very interested in him and always tried to get information from his mouth. Xiao Tian always turned a blind eye to him.
But later, they still had an encounter, and the result was quite tragic.
— The fuse was Ranran.
That day, just after Xiao Tian finished his class, he went to the pavilion on the rockery in the academy to rest and wait for Baozi to finish school so they could go home together.
The pavilion was located on a high place and was surrounded by green trees. So people below couldn't see much when looking up, but looking down from above, everything was clear.
Then Xiao Tian saw that somewhere below, Ranran and Xu Maozhi were standing face to face, and Ranran was wearing Xu Maozhi's coat.
Ranran looked extremely anxious, as if she was about to cry, and was saying something to Xu Maozhi.
If Baozi, who knew lip - reading, was here, it would be great, Xiao Tian couldn't help thinking.
He felt inexplicably annoyed. He quietly got off the pavilion and slowly approached them.
"... Is it true? What you said is true?" Ranran's anxious voice came. "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"No, no," Xu Maozhi blushed slightly and waved his hands repeatedly. "The first time, you're definitely going to be a bit scared. After all, there's blood... But don't worry, you won't die. You'll get used to it later."
"Then I'm relieved," Ranran's face was also very red. "You won't tell others about this, will you? If you tell others, how can I face people?"
"Don't worry, Ranran. You can rest assured. Only you and I know about this. It'll never be known to others. How about I take you home first?"
"No. My mother will think too much if she sees a man taking me home."
"Oh. Actually, it doesn't matter if your mother thinks too much. I'll take responsibility."
Ranran: "What are you talking about!"
By this time, Xiao Tian was extremely angry. He had already imagined a drama of an old man deceiving a young girl in his mind, especially the fact that he had taken her first time?
If he didn't beat Xu Maozhi to death today, he wasn't Xiao Tian.
Without thinking, Xiao Tian punched and rushed out.
Then, by the time Ranran reacted, Xu Maozhi had already been punched and kicked by Xiao Tian several times and was lying on the ground unable to move.
"Why are you beating people?" Ranran quickly tried to hold Xiao Tian back. "It was wrong of him to suspect you like that, but if you beat him like this, you'll kill him!"
Xiao Tian said angrily, "Shut up! I'll deal with you later!"
What a good girl. She didn't know how to cherish herself at all!
No, what did she know? It was all because of that beast Xu Maozhi.
"Give his dirty clothes back to him!" As he said this, Xiao Tian almost roughly tried to pull off the coat on Ranran's body.
Unexpectedly, Ranran tightly held on to it and said, "Don't move!"
