Until I Married the Eldest Princess

"Your Excellency the Sword Saint, please stop the smile on your face." Hongxiu couldn't help but said while watching from the side.

"Am I smiling?"

"You did laugh."

Hongxiu felt a little flustered seeing the brothel getting closer, this was the first time she was near such a place.

She felt that Li Xiu should not be a womanizer, otherwise Concubine Sun Guifei would have pounced on her when she recommended herself as a pillow mat. Although Concubine Sun Guifei is not as good as the eldest princess, she has an elegant and mature temperament and a plump body. Can't walk.

And the unmoved behavior of the Juggernaut also made Hongxiu and the other maids feel relieved and at the same time look at it differently.

"Here we are, this is Yuduanlou in Luocheng. Its famous name spreads all over the Central Plains, and countless people can't afford pillows and mats." The red embroidered face said without changing his expression.

"How does it compare to your Concubine Sun Gui?" Li Xiu asked.

Hongxiu frowned, slightly angry in her heart, and said expressionlessly: "How can a woman from a brothel compare with my noble concubine? Regardless of her background, temperament, or appearance, my noble concubine is far superior to her."

"Then it's a pity that I didn't eat her?" Li Xiu rubbed his chin and said.

Hongxiu was even angrier in her heart, and said coldly in her eyes: "Hongxiu has no right to comment on this matter."

She had the utmost respect for Concubine Sun, now that Li Xiu said such insulting words to Concubine Sun, how could Hongxiu not be angry.

Hongxiu scolded Li Xiu angrily in her heart, but because she was with Concubine Sun Guifei all the year round, she didn't have many swear words, so she could only curse a few words back and forth in her heart.

Barbarians, rude people, bad guys...

"Since this brothel is so bad, I won't go." Li Xiu continued to walk forward.

Hongxiu's face was expressionless, and said: "It's not that the brothel is bad, my concubine and these prostitutes are not from the same world."

Li Xiu thought about Sun Guifei's mature and attractive body, and nodded in agreement.

He also thought that after ten years, Zhong Luoyao would be about the same age, and she would probably become more beautiful and moving than Concubine Sun Gui, from a fairy to a queen mother, with a charming demeanor and a more mature motherhood.

"Isn't this Miss Hongxiu, not accompanying Concubine Sun Gui, shopping outside with men?"

Suddenly, a frivolous voice sounded from the side, and several imperial guards came out of the brothel, seeing Hongxiu's eyes brighten up and said.

Hongxiu gave them a disgusted look, and wanted to lift her leg to leave but was blocked.

"Miss Hongxiu is not in a hurry to leave. We still have to hang around here for a while. It's better to cultivate our relationship." The imperial guard smiled at Hongxiu, glanced at Hongxiu's exquisite body, pretending to be Look like a gentleman.

"No need." Hongxiu was annoyed at these people's unreasonable troubles, and didn't want to spoil Sun Guifei's important affairs because of her own sake, so she could only say coldly.

"Why is Hongxiu girl so indifferent?" Several members of the imperial guards smelled of alcohol, and they stretched out their hands to Hongxiu without politeness.

Hongxiu regretted it in her heart, she would have known that she would have some servants to accompany her, and it would be all the fault of this Juggernaut, otherwise she wouldn't have had to avoid suspicion and shoot many people to watch him, even though she did the same.

A kick from the side kicked the head of the Imperial Guard in the chest, and a few bone cracks flew out and knocked down the other Imperial Guards, who lay on the ground and cried out in pain.

Li Xiu's expression was calm, as if he hadn't done anything, he withdrew his feet and said, "Let's go."

Hongxiu stared blankly at Li Xiu who was walking straight forward, and hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but look back at the Imperial Guard who was shouting in pain, feeling a little touched in her heart.

"Well, thank you, Your Excellency." Hongxiu walked to Li Xiu's side and said in a low voice.

"It's nothing."

Seeing Li Xiu's indifferent look, Hongxiu was sure that Li Xiuzhen didn't care and just kicked him casually.

Hongxiu's heart moved slightly, and the annoyance at Li Xiu's disrespectful words to Concubine Sun was also eliminated, and she was grateful to him.

Li Xiu didn't show off his martial power like other warriors, and he acted like he didn't go out of his way at ordinary times, but he didn't hesitate when it was time to make a move, as if he was carrying the light of the righteous way, making Hongxiu look sideways frequently.

Li Xiu thought while observing Luo Cheng.

The people around didn't care much about the Imperial Guards. From their words, it can be inferred that the Imperial Guards have been here for at least half a year...

Now Li Xiu knew where to start, he just needed to find the well-known changes in Luocheng from half a year ago to a year ago.

The emperor had just been stabbed by him a year ago, and he hadn't had enough time to throw out the [-] imperial guards.

Since the imperial guards are stationed in the city, there are two possibilities. One is that the secret is in the city, and the other is that the secret can be reached at any time outside the city.

Concubine Sun Gui didn't know that Li Xiu had already seen through her underwear after going out for a stroll, and was still drinking tea with Zhong Luoyao.

"Luoyao is not young anymore. Do you have any opinions on His Majesty's marriage? Wang Xu is the commander of the imperial guards. Although he is a bit short in terms of status, he is still a good candidate." Concubine Sun Guifei had an elegant face. Said to Zhong Luoyao with a smile.

Zhong Luoyao shook her head.

"Oh, is Luo Yao dissatisfied with him?" Concubine Sun Guifei raised her eyebrows, with an expression that she was optimistic about what was going on.

"I'll kill him after returning to the imperial capital, it doesn't matter if I'm satisfied or not." Zhong Luoyao said lightly.

The face of the maid who was listening beside her froze. Are you saying this so bluntly?

"Wang Xu's martial arts are not low, and there are countless warriors in the imperial capital, even you are not so easy to attack, or... your trump card is the sword master?" Concubine Sun said with squinted eyes.

"Why do you think he will do something for you and Wang Xu?"

"Don't bother Concubine Sun Gui to worry, we will negotiate our own affairs." Zhong Luoyao said casually.

Concubine Sun Guifei looked at this girl who was ten years younger than her, and felt envious of her extremely beautiful appearance. Although Concubine Sun Guifei was already a rare beauty in the world, she paled in comparison to Zhong Luoyao .

"Then Luo Yao has to be careful, whoever says that the sword master will always be number one in the world." Sun Guifei also sneered.

"Then you still sit on his bed?" Zhong Luoyao also said coldly.

Concubine Sun raised her eyebrows slightly, meaningful: "It seems that Luo Yao also has someone she likes. I don't mind if a beauty matches a hero. Do you need me to teach you a little bit?"

Zhong Luoyao said calmly: "If you haven't had sex for a year, don't pretend to be an expert in sex."

Concubine Sun's face froze, and she said angrily, "What do you know, girl!"

Seven in and seven out, mutual affection, human nature is inherent... Many words flashed through Zhong Luoyao's mind, she took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know anything."

Concubine Sun Guifei consciously took the initiative, puffed out her chest and smiled coquettishly: "Then you have to study hard. Your mother and I are also childhood friends. We have been friends for more than [-] years. If you want to learn, just ask me."

Zhong Luoyao looked at her proud look, and suddenly remembered what Li Xiu said.

The people who just passed the first class were mocking Qiu Mingshan, who came down the mountain.

……

"Where is the camp of the Imperial Guard here?" Li Xiu asked Hongxiu casually as he walked on the street.

Although Hongxiu was grateful for Li Xiu's rescue, she still said as Concubine Sun: "I don't know."

Li Xiu just asked casually, not expecting to have an answer, and suddenly saw someone crying at the yamen servant in front of him.

"The plague has been going on for so long, why is it useless for the doctor to look at it, our village is almost deserted."

The yamen servant was annoyed by people shouting, and he said perfunctorily: "There will be a new doctor to see."

"I have already changed more than a dozen doctors..."

Li Xiu frowned, and asked Hongxiu, "Is there a plague in the nearby village?"

Hongxiu also looked confused: "This... I don't know, the imperial concubine used to give money to the poor nearby for medical treatment."

It can't be the plague... Li Xiu thought to himself looking at the impatient look of the yamen servant.

If it was really a plague, people in this village would not even be able to enter Luocheng, but Luocheng seemed unprepared, as if they knew it was not a plague.

He looked at Hongxiu's confused face next to him and knew that Concubine Sun Gui probably didn't know about it either.

Li Xiu walked over and stopped the man who was about to leave in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong with your village?"

The man smiled wryly and said: "If we know what is sick, we don't know what happened at all. We only know that there will be dead people every morning. They were fine yesterday, but they died suddenly today. Later, the doctor from the city said It's the plague, let's take the body away, not even bury it."

Hongxiu is a kind-hearted person, when she heard the words, she was about to comfort her when she heard Li Xiu interjecting.

"Why not cremated on the spot?" Li Xiu asked.

Hongxiu was stunned, and said angrily, "Your Excellency, you put it so bluntly."

Li Xiu looked at Hongxiu and said, "Then ask."

Hongxiu froze for a moment, it was really unreasonable for the corpse to be transported away, it would be easier and cheaper to burn it on the spot than to cremate it in a centralized manner.

She coughed lightly and asked, "Why not cremated on the spot?"

The question she asked was exactly the same as what Li Xiu said, her face turned red and she didn't dare to look up at Li Xiu's face, fearing that he would look at her with contempt.

"We also asked the doctor. After all, there are ashes and thoughts after death, but the doctor said that in order to prevent another death, the body can only be transported away, but after half a year, the dead person still died, and several surrounding villages Almost dead." The man smiled wryly.

Half a year, isn't that about the same time as the Imperial Guard came here?Li Xiu frowned, looked at Hongxiu next to her, and saw her face turned pale, as if she had thought of something.

Li Xiu remained calm and continued to ask the man: "Did anything strange happen in your village and other villages?"

"No." The man shook his head, "Even if there was, we would have solved it in the past six months."

He hesitated for a moment and said: "But if I want to say something strange, the fog in the valley to the east is getting thicker and thicker. If you go in, you may not be able to get out. Fortunately, there are people from the government watching over there, otherwise we would collect herbs. Some of them might get in by mistake, there are quite a lot of poisonous snakes inside."

After asking a few more questions, Li Xiu asked him to leave, looked back at Hongxiu's pale face without saying anything, and took her back to Concubine Sun Guifei's residence.

As soon as he returned to the house, Li Xiu saw Zhong Luoyao and Concubine Sun playing chess, seeing Concubine Sun's frown, it could be seen that her situation was not going well.

"Hongxiu is back, this game is considered a draw." Sun Guifei calmly disrupted the game.

As soon as Hongxiu came back, she trotted to Concubine Sun and talked in Concubine Sun's ear. Concubine Sun wanted to reprimand her for running around the house without any manners, but when she heard her words, her face changed slightly, and she coughed lightly to Zhong Luoyao and Li Xiudao : "I am not feeling well today, I will entertain you two later."

Her plump waist and hips swayed faster than usual, and there was a slightly nervous expression on her mature face.

Li Xiu also brought Zhong Luoyao back to the room.

"How could Concubine Sun be so nervous? With her heart, she should be calm when she hears anything." Zhong Luoyao asked Li Xiu.

Li Xiu told Zhong Luoyao what he saw and heard on the street, and said, "The ones in the valley should be the emperor's preparations to deal with me."

"For these preparations, do you even have to sacrifice your life?" Zhong Luoyao frowned, and he looked at Li Xiu: "Are you going to eavesdrop on what they are saying?"

"No, I think they will come by themselves." Li Xiu looked at the door and shook his head.

Not long after, Concubine Sun Guifei pushed open the door with the red embroidery, her face moved slightly when she saw Li Xiu sitting in the room without moving, she sat down with a sigh and said: "I didn't expect it to take human life."

Li Xiu and Zhong Luoyao looked at each other, it seemed that Concubine Sun Gui had already planned to have a showdown with them.

"What's in the valley?" Li Xiu asked directly.

"Flower field." Concubine Sun hesitated and said: "Flower fields for planting things, the fruits it grows will be made into elixirs after they are sent to the imperial capital. After eating this elixir, you can..."

She raised her head and looked at Li Xiu with some anxiety on her face: "I'll kill you."

Li Xiu didn't react too much, and asked again: "Who is guarding there?"

"The two commanders of the Imperial Guard, and his Imperial Guard." Concubine Sun gritted her teeth and looked at Li Xiu with eyes that seemed to drip water.
