As long as Chu Xiao doesn't regard her as a thorn in his side and send a Hua Jin warrior to kill her, it doesn't matter if he makes any other reaction.
If she is sent, I will go there directly to end her rule.
She only needs to perform a blood sea overturning technique in the palace during the court meeting, overthrow the palace and kill the emperor. After Chu Xiao's death, there will be no one to succeed to the throne. As a Hua Jin warrior and the rightful heir, the throne will naturally be within her grasp.
However, this brutal approach would kill all the loyal and treacherous ministers, making it difficult for the imperial court to function. The palace would become a ruin, leaving a mess that she would have to trouble herself to manage, which would be troublesome.
Xi Heng still wanted to advance slowly rather than rush things into it all at once.
"Your Highness, you have your own thoughts. I will not say any more." Zhao Wanli took a half step back.
"In a year, Yan Mengguo will invade the south, and I might go to the northern border to join the army." Xi Heng mentioned casually.
"I await the arrival of the princess." The other party bowed.
The two looked at each other, saying nothing.
Xi Heng threw the reins on his horse and sped away from Jinshi.
Zhao Wanli, who was left behind, stood up and looked at Xi Heng's back as he rode away on his horse, his determined gaze slightly wavering.
He stared for a long time, as if in a daze, until his deputy general beside him delivered a message and he came back to his senses.
"What the Emperor Qianqiu could not accomplish in the end, was accomplished by this person."
"Those who can accomplish the impossible may be able to save the present Great Zhao..."
On the city wall covered with cracks, dents and dents, a dark red flag with the word "Zhao" printed on it fluttered in the cold wind.
……
Xi Heng bid farewell to Jinshi and headed north through Xiuzhou and Gui'an. He rested for two days in the inns in these two cities which looked relatively intact.
On the way, while having dinner in the hall, he heard the story of the so-called princess beheading the rebel leader.
In just three days, the news had spread to nearby cities.
Xi Heng then bought a veil in the city to cover his face to avoid any trouble.
Afterwards, we took a boat across the Xiu River and returned to our residence in Jiangning City.
Although on the surface, she had only been away from Jiangning City for two months, Xi Heng actually experienced events that lasted much longer.
It’s been so long that I miss my senior sister a little bit.
"After being busy for so long, let me and my senior sister live a peaceful life for a while." She didn't want to start making plans and rush forward with the throne as the goal right away.
No one should be tense all the time, it will cause mental problems.
When it's time to relax, you should relax.
"What are you going to play with me when you get back?"
On her way back, the girl hummed a ballad that only she knew in this world.
……
Chapter 82: Seeking Immortals and the Way
Ten days later, Jiangning City.
Xi Heng raised his eyes and glanced at the words "Jiangning" engraved on the city gate. He paid a few taels of silver as the entrance fee and easily entered the city as a martial artist.
The news of Fang Tiande's defeat has spread here, but I don't know if the story of her, the princess, has spread along with it.
After Xi Heng entered the city, she could see that the people in the city looked more at ease than when she left the city.
Although there was no reason to be happy, after all, the heavy tax burden caused by the court did not decrease with the change of emperor.
But at least people no longer have to worry about the place where they live being looted by the Tianliang rebels and turned into the hell on earth as rumored.
With the gentle tread of horse hooves, Xi Heng returned to his small villa in Jiangning City, full of anticipation of reuniting with his senior sister.
After passing through a stretch of streets and alleys, we arrived at the inner city, and the horse's hooves landed in front of the courtyard gate.
The girl dismounted briskly and knocked on the door gently with her backhand.
bang bang,
In just a few seconds, a maid came to open the door.
"Second Miss, you are back."
The person who came to greet them was the Frost Flower Maid who had the smallest figure and appearance.
However, compared to before, because she had worked as a maid in the courtyard for a few months, she had gained some weight and was no longer as skinny as before.
Xi Heng answered casually: "Is Senior Sister here?"
"The eldest lady is in the study in the courtyard..." The maid hesitated and said, "It's just that the eldest lady seems to be in a bad mood in the past few days."
"Why?" Xi Heng wondered.
Could it be that my senior sister is feeling a little lonely being left alone in her room in the city?
Two months is a bit long, but for someone as determined as Senior Sister Hong Miao, it shouldn't be that long, right?
"Recently, the young lady often sighs while walking in the courtyard. She only eats once or twice the food that I send her every day." She pursed her lips and continued:
"Also, the young lady has been muttering words like 'love', 'evil', 'exorcise' to herself recently..."
"It must be Qumie." After hearing this, Xi Heng could almost guess something.
She passed the maid and walked forward
My senior sister was probably upset because she was not making any progress in her swordsmanship research.
All I have to do is comfort my senior sister. After all, she is researching these things for me.
But... my senior sister has worked hard for this for so long, and then as soon as I return, I tell her that I have achieved Hua Jin, and all my previous efforts in research are no longer necessary. Isn't that a bit bad?
Before Xi Heng could figure it out, he just walked around the corridor in the courtyard and saw his senior sister who was tying her hair. She lowered her head and opened the door of the main house.
Hong Miao didn't look at who was coming outside. She just sighed softly, with gloom and sadness flowing between her eyes.
The girl raised her hand tentatively.
However, the senior sister seemed to be completely immersed in her own inner world. She didn't look up at her. At most, she knew that there was someone in front of her.
"Please clear the lunch in the room. I have already eaten..." Hong Miao said subconsciously.
"Really eaten? But Senior Sister's stomach looks so flat."
Xi Heng approached with a faint smile, deliberately using a doubtful tone.
Before the other party could react, she touched her senior sister's lower abdomen with one hand.
Warm, hot,
"Sure enough, it's pretty flat, right?"
Hong Miao was unable to react for a moment.
After a few seconds, she exhaled to Xi Heng who seemed to want to play, and slowly removed the hand that was covering her abdomen.
"You're back..."
"Long time no see, senior sister." Although Xi Heng was pushed away, he still wanted to make contact.
Then the other hand naturally embraced the other person's waist.
Hong Miao twisted slightly as if trying to break free, but finally settled down and let him hold her.
"So thin, even thinner than before I left."
Xi Heng leaned his head against the other's shoulder and asked, "Senior Sister, are you keeping in shape recently?"
Hong Miao shook her head.
For some reason, whenever Xi Heng wanted to meet his eyes, he would be avoided.
"Junior sister, what did you gain from your journey this time?" Hong Miao coughed lightly and started the topic.
"The harvest is pretty good."
Xi Heng responded casually and let his right hand rest on his waist.
His hands were like water snakes, wrapping around the senior sister's body.
"But let's not talk about what we gained right now. I've been missing Senior Sister so much these days."
The girl leaned her soft face on the other's shoulder, sniffed the body fragrance with the tip of her nose, and then pressed her body against him.
As if it wanted to merge with it, it got closer and closer.
"Really?" Senior Sister's mood obviously improved.
"When have I ever told a lie to Senior Sister?" Xi Heng responded casually.
In fact, I did tell some lies when I sneaked into the Sword Academy before.
But it doesn’t matter whether she said it or not. The atmosphere is right now, and she is just saying something that fits the mood.
"……Too."
Hong Miao also raised her hand and brushed the other person's hair and white cheeks with her slender fingers.
"Let's go back to the room?" Xi Heng suggested softly.
"But I haven't bathed in the past three days..."
"Well."
Xi Heng moved his gaze to the side and looked at the maid who was standing there, not knowing what to do after seeing the two of them being so intimate.
"Go tell the bathroom to prepare more hot water. My sister and I will be there soon."
"Yes... Second Miss." The Frost Flower Maid won the battle and retreated to leave space for them.
"Sister."
Xi Heng whispered these two words into Hong Miao's ear, and his gentle breath fell on her ear.
The next moment, she felt her senior sister trembling slightly.
Can the sensing ability of a Hua Jin warrior still be used in this kind of thing?
"Why? You've been away from me for so long that you're a little impatient when you come back?"
The senior sister gradually returned to her previous state, and at least she made a joke to restore her dignity.
"Yes, I am impatient."
Xi Heng admitted it with a clear conscience, and his hands around his senior sister's waist slowly reached upwards.
His fingers touched the thin strap of the other person's clothes around his neck and he gently pulled it down.
With a slight "whoosh", the collar of Hong Miao's clothes became loose.
Just as Xi Heng wanted to continue touching her chest and untie a more important thin strap, his senior sister raised her hand and touched her chest to stop him.
"Still outside." Hong Miao said helplessly.
"But I can't wait any longer."
When Xi Heng failed to untie the rope, he put his hands back on his senior sister's waist, pressing slight creases on her loose pink and white coat, quietly feeling the mutual influence of their body temperatures and the interweaving of their breath.
"Since Senior Sister doesn't let me touch this side, can you at least give me something else to relieve the pressure?"
Xi Heng suggested softly in the other person's ear.
"No." Obviously, Hong Miao hasn't gotten into the mood yet.
"If you don't give me some benefits, I will continue to attack."
Slowly move your five fingers down.
The senior sister quickly pushed her hand away again, and then helplessly obeyed the bad junior sister's words and hugged her back.
Their eyes met and her lips gently touched Xi Heng's cheek.
"Not enough." Xi Heng would not be satisfied with a kiss on the cheek.
"Junior sister is really bad."
