After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

Shen Chen sat by the bed and accompanied Ling Xiche, every time he fell asleep now became longer and longer, the time of waking up was less and less, and he became weaker and weaker.

"Shen Chen..."

"Xi Che?"

When Ling Xiche woke up, he could feel that he had slept for a long time, but every time he woke up, he could see Shen Chen by his side, and he couldn't help worrying about the battle situation.

Ling Xiche asked weakly, "What's going on outside now?"

Shen Chen held his hand and put it on her lips, "Don't worry about it, okay? If you have such a thought, you should think about what I can do to make you feel better. Xi Che, I really can't lose you."

At this time, someone outside reported, "Your Majesty, there is an envoy from the Kingdom of Zhao seeking to see him, and he has arrived at the gate of the city. Do you want him to enter the city?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiche shook Shen Chen's hand, "Shen Chen, they finally came to sue for peace."

Seeing that Ling Xiche couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, Shen Chen felt even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that Shen Chen didn't respond, Ling Xiche knew that he might be caught up in an affair again, and struggled hard to get up.

"Shen Chen, I will go with you to meet this messenger."

"Okay, it's hard for you to get up, how do you go?" Shen Chen helped Ling Xiche fall asleep again, "Don't worry, I will go and have a good talk with him, and I also want to end all this as soon as possible. Once the war is over, I will not hesitate Do everything I can to save you."

Ling Xiche looked at him and smiled slightly.

Shen Chen planted a kiss on his forehead, then left to meet the messenger.

Zhao Jihe and Gao Yun waited patiently at the gate of Xuancheng. After waiting for a long time, the gate finally opened, and they were led to the place where Shen Chen was waiting for him.

Gao Yun followed Zhao Jihe to protect him, but was stopped at the door. Zhao Jihe nodded at him, saying that he was fine by himself, and walked in the door.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao Kingdom envoy has arrived."

Shen Chen turned around and was a little surprised to see that it was Zhao Jihe.

"It's you?"

"it is me."

Shen Chen sneered, "You used to be the prince of a country, but now you are someone else's lackey."

Zhao Jihe replied unceremoniously, "If I'm a lackey, isn't Ling Xiche even worse than a lackey? I thought you cared about Ling Xiche very much. Why do you belittle him so much?"

"You!" Shen Chen pointed at Zhao Jihe's fingertips trembling slightly, "If you insult him again, there is nothing to talk about. Go back where you came from."

Zhao Jihe said indifferently, "Is it me who insulted people?"

Shen Chen was deflated and sat down on the side, but Zhao Jihe was not allowed to sit.

Zhao Jihe didn't care and just stood there.

Zhao Jihe said, "Your goal has been achieved, why don't we just cut to the chase."

Shen Chen's anger just now hadn't completely dissipated, and because of Ling Xiche, he was already in a bad mood recently, so he said, "It's okay to negotiate a peace, return all the land you took, and I will withdraw my troops."

"You know this is impossible, right?" Zhao Jihe asked back.

Shen Chen looked at Zhao Jihe, and felt that he and the him he had seen before seemed to have become another person.

"I also thought you cared about Yu Chirui, but aren't you using him to help you restore your country? Is he in poor health now? But I can't see any worry on your face."

Zhao Jihe still had a stern face, and did not answer his question directly, "I swore to you before that I would not have the idea of ​​returning to the country, and I will still abide by the oath now. Besides, I will not betray him."

Shen Chen laughed, "Is he also very important in your heart?"

"More than anything else."

Shen Chen took a serious look at Zhao Jihe, "Since it is more important than anything else, you should return the country, and then I will withdraw my troops and send him back to the palace for medical treatment."

Zhao Jihe breathed a sigh of relief, ready to take a gamble.

Before he came, he inquired about it. On the day that General Bai died in battle, Ling Xiche led the soldiers. Ling Xiche seemed to have been seriously injured. In short, he was unconscious and was carried back that day.

Ling Xiche became famous all over the world when he was a lobbyist and went to Duanguo to borrow troops. At this time, the crucial negotiation between the two countries was because his strategy was successful, and Zhaoguo would take the initiative to ask for it. And, he shouldn't be absent on this occasion.

Unless, he can't come at all.

It's been a few days, if he still can't get out of bed, then it's definitely not a small problem.

There is also Shen Chen's state, he represented Zhaoguo to ask for peace, but Shen Chen didn't show any happy expression on his face, this is too abnormal.

Zhao Jihe asked back, "Then Ling Xiche is in your heart? How much is he worth?"

Shen Chen didn't know why he asked such a question, and looked at him silently.

Zhao Jihe said again, "It's not just Yu Chirui who is short of doctors and medicines right now? Although I don't know what's wrong with Ling Xiche, if this drags on, won't he be able to hold on?"

Shen Chen was startled, and clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves, "Xi Che is very good. If you are not sincere, then go back and let your family wait for death."

Zhao Jihe chuckled, "If something really happens to Yu Chirui, the generals of Zhao Kingdom will never make it easier for you even if you fight to the death. He has this popularity, and Zhao Kingdom also has this strength. You really have to try ?"

Listening to what he said, and thinking about Ling Xiche, Shen Chen didn't dare to be tough anymore, and said, "Since you came to ask for peace and refused to give up an inch of ground, why do you think I should retreat?"

"I didn't say that I would not give up an inch of land." Zhao Jihe took out a map from his sleeve, put it on the table and pointed it out to Shen Chen, "We will return the imperial city of Ye Kingdom that we captured, and here, this The city is also returned to you, and the territory of the Duan Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom are basically the same, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, how about it?"

"Return only two cities?"

"No more. I don't think you are a belligerent person. The two countries are evenly matched, and that is the only possibility of long-term coexistence other than complete annexation."

Shen Chen stared at the map and thought for a long time.

In Zhaoguo's tent, Yu Chirui woke up from his lethargy just after falling asleep for a while, and saw that the sky had begun to darken, but Zhao Jihe hadn't come back yet.

Has he not come back yet?

Nothing will happen, right?

Yu Chirui reluctantly got out of bed, trembling and wanted to go out to have a look, but before reaching the door, his feet gave way and he fell down.

At this moment, someone is opening the curtain to enter the account.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

The other party quickly walked over to help him, Yu Chirui looked up in a daze, it was Zhao Jihe.

"Miao Miao, are you back?"

"Yeah, I'm back." Zhao Jihe went to get the cloak hanging on the hanger next to him, and said as he walked, "It's the conditions I told you at the beginning that we have to pay, not more than one inch, not less than one inch, that is, return two The city, Shen Chen has retreated, we can return to the palace now."

Zhao Jihe took the cloak and wrapped it around Yu Chirui's body, then hugged him by the waist.

"Your illness can't be delayed any longer. The carriage outside is ready. We'll set off now and return to the palace overnight."

"Miao Miao..."

Yu Chirui didn't know what he wanted to say to him now, but he just wanted to call him by his unique nickname.

Zhao Jihe walked out with Yuchirui in his arms. The carriage had been prepared outside, and the inside was soft enough to lie down the whole time.

In the carriage, Zhao Jihe let Yu Chirui lie in his arms and covered him with a blanket.

Yu Chirui looked up at Zhao Jihe who suddenly became mature and silent, and asked, "How did you talk to Shen Chen?"

Zhao Jihe smiled, "The road back to the palace is quite long, if you want to know, I will tell you slowly."

"it is good."

Yu Chirui leaned against Zhao Jihe's arms, feeling very at ease.

After such a long time, I was finally able to sleep peacefully, and the sick body was already weak, so I fell asleep in Zhao Jihe's arms after a while.

In his light sleep, he felt Zhao Jihe touching his face, and opened his eyes weakly.

"Miao Miao..."

Zhao Jihe bowed his head and kissed him, "Beauty, you are almost so thin that you are not beautiful anymore."

Yu Chirui asked with a smile, "Why? If you're not pretty, you don't like me anymore?"

Zhao Jihe hugged him distressedly, "No, I was thinking, how long will it take for you to raise it back? You'll feel like hugging him."

Yu Chirui smiled and fell into a deep sleep again, but his brows and eyes were relaxed.

Zhao Jihe bowed his head and kissed him again, "Your little Miao Miao has grown up, and I will help you, protect you, and take care of you in the future."
