At three o'clock on the next day, Emperor Liang, along with the ministers of civil and military affairs, and I stood at the gate of Jinling City, waiting for the arrival of the Empress of Shu.

Soon, the mighty procession gradually appeared in front of our eyes. Among them, the brilliant jasper carriage was particularly dazzling. The light of the brocade on the carriage was almost comparable to the sun. They are strong and strong, even the horses of ordinary cavalry are covered with silver helmets, they are so conspicuous walking slowly from a distance.

After a while, we finally arrived in front of us. The infantry and cavalry on both sides gave way one after another, and the carriage placed in the middle began to come forward.Emperor Liang recovered from his illness the moment he heard the triumphant return of all the troops, and took charge of the country again, but at this time he looked very old after recovering from a serious illness, and even his gray hair was almost covering the top of his head.He smiled cheerfully: "I have been waiting for the Empress of Shu for a long time!"

An attendant immediately went forward to open the door curtain of the carriage, and then the middle-aged man in the black and gold dragon robe came down with the help of the maid. He raised his eyebrows, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said respectfully, "Brother Xiao , long time no see! You are still wonderful!"

The Empress Hou Shu walked up to Emperor Liang with steady steps, and was actually half a head taller than him. Speaking of wonderful vigor, who can compare to the Empress Hou Shu at this moment?He was the same age as Emperor Liang, but looked younger than him.He was dressed in a black and gold dragon robe, and he looked extraordinarily stable and majestic, with an aura of king rushing towards his face. Just standing here, he could feel the difference between him and the others, and even imagined that when he won the throne back then, he was not afraid of others. Criticized and killed dozens of his brothers to imitate his demeanor, but he was also insane.Maybe out of guilt, after [-] years, he actually started to be kind, which is why he saved me at the back door of the Lin Mansion.

Emperor Liang also said with a smile: "Brother Su, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you haven't changed!" He turned and pointed at Xiao Jingyan and said, "This is my most proud son, and he is also the future son of our Daliang. Lord, Jingyan!"

While talking, Xiao Jingyan hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, and said very respectfully, "Jingyan has met the Emperor of Houshu!"

"Hahaha!" He stroked his beard and said with a hearty smile, "Sure enough, he is a formidable young man! But what about my phoenix child? Why didn't the emperor come forward to greet him?"

I was originally standing among the ministers, and I just wanted to come and have a rest before returning to the mansion, but it was impossible to think about it. Sure enough, my father mentioned my name at this moment, so I had no choice but to go forward and salute my father: "Feng Can has seen Father Emperor!"

He didn't answer me, but smiled with Emperor Liang: "Feng Can came to Daliang these days, thank you Brother Xiao for taking care of me!"

"Brother Su is able to marry such a princess to our Daliang people. Naturally, he should treat him well and not be careless." Emperor Liang said with a smile: "It's almost the beginning of autumn, and the wind is going to blow again. Why don't you invite Brother Su into the palace hall to talk about it again?" !"

Father Huang smiled, but turned around and called out: "Feng Can?"

I understood immediately, so I bowed and said, "Father, please."

After saying that, Emperor Father came over, and I walked to his side, led by Emperor Liang into Jinling.Father Emperor showed Emperor Liang the military strength of Hou Shu, and Emperor Liang naturally wanted to show Emperor Liang how the people of Jinling live and work in peace and contentment.The two of them talked in an official accent all the way, but Father sometimes asked me to answer a few words, and the rest of the time I kept silent.

The two kings naturally attracted many people to watch when they walked on Jinling Street. This is also a good time to show the good relations between the two countries.The father also complained to Emperor Liang why the Three Kingdoms came to attack one month ago and could not borrow troops from Houshu.

When we arrived at the palace, the ministers were only in the outer hall, leaving only a few important officials chatting with us in the inner hall.

Suddenly, Emperor Liang sat on the top of the class, took a sip of thin wine, and asked with a smile: "Brother Su is probably here for Feng Can's marriage, right? I have a half-year agreement with Feng Can, and the agreement ended a month ago. Arrived, but due to the tension of the war, there has been no decision yet!"

I sat next to my father, covering my mouth and chuckling, he didn't dare to say in front of my father that I went to the north!As a princess of a foreign race, I actually ran to the front-line barracks in Daliang. If I said it, wouldn't I be afraid of being ridiculed by other Chinese?

Father turned his head to look at me, and then smiled at Emperor Liang: "I'm still worrying about Brother Xiao's marriage, now that the deadline has come, I wonder which prince Brother Xiao will be interested in?"

As soon as my marriage was mentioned, Jingyan couldn't sit still on the other side, and immediately put his hands on his back and said, "Your Majesty, actually..."

Father asked Emperor Liang which prince he was, and the corners of Emperor Liang's mouth twitched a few times, but at this moment Xiao Jingyan got up to answer, he secretly called out and immediately suppressed Jingyan's words: "Actually, the one I like is my sister Liyang. Xiao Jingrui, the eldest son of the eldest princess, Jingrui is gentle, knowledgeable and courteous, he is a model of a nobleman in Jinling City, and he is capable of writing and martial arts, and he was ranked second in the Langya list, he is definitely..."

"Back to the emperor, in fact, that's why father came to Jinling!" Hearing Emperor Liang keep praising Jingrui, the corners of Jingyan's mouth twitched a few more times, and I immediately stepped forward to suppress Emperor Liang's words.

"Oh?" Emperor Liang was slightly dissatisfied when I interrupted him, but because the hostess is not easy to reveal here, he asked, "What is that for?"

Father also looked at me suspiciously, and I immediately straightened my back and cupped my hands and replied, "Father is here this time, one is to visit Daliang, and the other is to visit Feng Can. Hou Shusu and Daliang have a good relationship, The two countries have a deep friendship, Father and Emperor came here to show his sincerity, Feng Can lives in Jinling, family matters come second!"

As I said that, I looked straight at the father next to me. He was thoughtful, then he stroked his beard and laughed suddenly, then turned his head and said: "Yeah, I have never acted like a child. Worry, the state affairs of the two countries are the most important!"

This time, the emperor of Houshu suddenly visited Liang, which made Emperor Liang wonder, but now he let go of laughing when he said so.Then we chatted about state affairs, Jingyan and I looked into each other's eyes, he was relieved, but I snickered secretly.

Emperor Liang and his father chatted for a long time in the main hall, first they had lunch, and then they chatted for a long time in the imperial garden, and they didn't let us back until evening after dinner.

I live in the former Prince Jing's Mansion, and my father will not give in if he lives here.The guards he brought surrounded Prince Jing's mansion in a circle, and even Emperor Liang sent a small team of guards to guard the city, just in case there was a mistake.On the way back home, in the carriage, I saw my father was hesitant to speak, until I got off the carriage, and I brought him to the study.

"Ya Kui, I have something to talk to my father, you can take them down."

"Yes, princess!" Yakui stepped forward, slipped something into my sleeve while no one was paying attention, and I immediately hid it.

After everyone had left, the royal father tore off the hypocritical smile on Emperor Liang, frowned and asked anxiously: "Can'er, I asked you to go back to Jinling to help an incompetent prince. The crown prince and Yu Wang dismounted, but this Xiao Jingyan was raised under the command of a generation of virtuous king Xiao Jingyu. It’s fine if you don’t avenge your parents, why do you want to kill your father and mother and your enemies?”

I looked at the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly, "Father, thank you Fengcan for sending someone to protect me back to Jinling, but can you tell me why you sent someone to assassinate me that day at the foot of Mount Jiu'an?"

"Assassinate you?" The Empress of Shu raised his eyebrows, "If I really intended to assassinate you, why would I only shoot you in the shoulder instead of the heart?"

He said my hand but couldn't help covering my wound, yes, I hurt my left shoulder, and my heart is also on the left side, but at that time the back arrow was shot from behind me, and when I turned around, even my brother thought it was because My turn only hit the shoulder.

Seeing me like this, my father's eyes showed fierceness, "You have come to Daliang for half a year, I will wait in Houshu and wait for no news from you, so I have to make up my own mind to let your life in Daliang be in danger, so I will You can send troops to Daliang. Who knew that you did such a good job of keeping secrets, even the concubines next to Emperor Liang were born as medical girls, I really didn't expect that!"

Hearing what he said, I can also tear off my hypocritical mask. I raised my head and looked at him. Although I was smiling, there was a chill in my eyes. "Su Wei, although I am your adopted daughter, I am still from Daliang, and the blood of the Xiao family of the Daliang royal family still flows in my bones. My mother, Princess Jinyang, is His Majesty's own sister. No matter what His Majesty treats us Whatever happened to the Lin family, I will not take Daliang to be buried with me! No matter what you do to me, I will never betray Daliang. People are doing what they do, God is watching, and the day of retribution will always come. But you are unkind to me, but I can’t I am unrighteous to you, the arrow you sent someone to shoot at me cut off the grace of nurturing, and the grace of saving my life in the first place, I will return it to you now!"

Before I finished speaking, I pulled out the dagger hidden in my sleeve and stabbed at my left chest. With a "poof", blood slowly flowed from my chest and spread across the clothes on my chest. The jumping candlelight was very beautiful, I was still holding the handle of the knife, and the pain was so overwhelming that I couldn't help kneeling on one knee.

"You... this..." Su Wei was scared by me and took a few steps back, not knowing what to do, his lips and hands were trembling with fright, and he couldn't stop.

Slowly saying that even the corners of my mouth were bleeding, I tried to raise my head, looked at him with a pale face, and said tremblingly: "Listen, I, Lin Xia, have nothing to do with you or Hou Shu from now on. .The grace of saving each other and the grace of nurturing, I have already returned it to you. You can no longer think about Daliang, and I want you to return to Houshu tomorrow!"

"Remnant..."

He wanted to come forward to help me up, but I immediately stopped him, "Don't come here, from now on, you have nothing to do with me, and I will never be used by you again, if you don't want me to die, you should leave as soon as possible!"

"Hiss", because of the pain of the wound, because of the speaking, I had to scream because of the pain of the wound.

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go now, I'll call the imperial doctor for you, Can'er, don't move around!"

"I want you to leave this place and don't come to me again!"

Su Wei kept walking backwards, afraid that something would happen to me and at the same time he had to worry about whether there was anyone outside. When he walked away anxiously, I was relieved, even though I cut off the relationship between us in this way. However, if Shushu is in trouble in the future, I'm afraid I can't help but help him!
