332 don't worry about life (I)
Huo Wanhua sat there motionless, but there was a layer of anger in his black lacquered eyes: "please tell your Lord Xie that even if you cut off the hand of the palace, there will never be this letter! If you want to kill or cut, you are welcome!"
Xie Suiyang smiled lightly, Wen Wen Tao: "the minister knows, the minister will give the Royal Highness to the emperor, but his highness... Here is Beijing, not the Huo Jia's Changan, your highness. You are the princess of the Dasheng Dynasty.
Xie Suiyang's eyes wandering for four times. There seemed to be regret in his tone: "captives do not need to live in such a magnificent palace, nor do they need to wear such expensive clothes. With such exquisite meals... Princess highness, I advise you to think clearly and not to eat any useless hardships."
The woman probably thought that the monarch and Marquis would not have the heart to her. Unfortunately, she didn't understand that today's monarch and Marquis were not the people who loved her in those years. Three years was enough for him to transform into an ambitious and thoughtful monarch. Now in his heart, there was only this vast river and mountain. The former love was just a passing smoke and cloud.
Xie Suiyang respectfully saluted her and left. Although he hated the woman in front of him, he was always polite.
"If your highness changes your mind, you can let the maid return to the officer at any time." How can this woman, spoiled and spoiled, stand the hardships of captives? I'm afraid she'll be dead and alive if she can't stand it for three days.
The Huo royal family, just like the Xiao family in the past, are rice worms who only know how to enjoy, especially those so-called famous families. He thanked Suiyang for defecting to Beijing, but he didn't want to stay in Chang'an and live a disciplined life of rice insects all his life.
Huo Wanhua lowered his eyes and said faintly, "thank you... Your Excellency for reminding me."
After a while, a maid led her to another place. Sure enough, the prisoners could not live in such a gorgeous bedroom. Huo Wanhua took it easy and quietly followed the maid.
The maid led her to a stone wall and said with a smile, "girl, this is it." this is about the place where the prisoners are held. There are several women with different looks around her, looking at her curiously. There was naturally no bed here. There was only a thin quilt on the floor. Huo Wanhua nodded faintly to the maid.
The maid walked away with a smile. Huo Wanhua silently sat by the wall and thought about Xie Suiyang's words. The series of things that happened these days made her feel more and more tired. Unconsciously, she fell asleep against the stone wall.
However, even in her sleep, she couldn't sleep well. She once again dreamed of the scene three years ago. He Zhen was covered with blood and looked at her expressionless. His eyes reflected hatred, disgust and terrible cruelty.
Even in the dream, the sharp hatred still made her sad and wanted to die immediately. Big big tears slipped down her eyes, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
There was silence around, and the other female prisoners had fallen asleep, leaving only the roaring wind and flickering candles.
At the other end of the stone wall, Wu Hou he Zhen sat on a red sandalwood chair and looked at her quietly. A trace of evil flashed in his black eyes.
"Suiyang, how many days do you think she can last?" he Zhen said expressionless.
Xie Suiyang respectfully and deeply applied a gift, Wen Wen way: "the minister dare not make a false statement, but with the experience of the minister, the most expensive family of the ladies can only reach third days at most. The princess's Royal Highness is spoiled and should be similar to those of the family's expensive ladies." however, the minister felt that the princess could hold on longer.
"Oh?" he Zhen's sword eyebrow slightly picked: "you're looking after her?"
Xie Suiyang smiled and shook his head: "no, no, but the princess still seems to have illusions about Jun Hou. She probably feels that Jun Hou still has pity for her..."
He Zhen slowly turned his head and smiled: "do you think... I will?"
Xie Suiyang lowered his head: "it's the minister who is abrupt." over the years, the mind of the monarch and Marquis has been gloomy and uncertain, and it has become more and more elusive. Xie Suiyang felt that most of them were the "credit" of the princess Anle. If she hadn't seduced the monarch and Marquis with emotion, how could she have been seriously injured and dying three years ago and almost died at the hands of the king of Wei?
Although I don't know what the princess Anle really wants to do, if she wants to do it again, I'm afraid it won't be effective. Don't say that junhou has a heart of stone. Now there are many favorite girls around him, especially Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yue. They are all beautiful women. Junhou's heart will no longer be bewitched by the witch.
Xie Suiyang thought that Jun hou would take the royal highness of the princess to Qingzhou and Yuzhou, but Jun Hou shook his head with a smile.
"Suiyang, why do you think I don't take her as a hostage and let the court give up Qingzhou and Yuzhou?" he Zhen seemed to see through his mind and stood up with a negative hand: "do you think Huo Zheng and Huo Yan really fight, who will be the winner?"
Xie Suiyang was slightly stunned. He planned for a moment. He leaned over and said, "now there are 13 states in the world. We are based on four states, and the rest are Dasheng territory. But Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Jizhou in the middle and north of nine states are all under the control of the king of Wei. If the emperor and the king of Wei really fight, the victory or defeat is unknown."
These northern states have a large population. Over the years, under the management of the king of Wei, they have long had the strength to fight with the emperor. Now there are swords and crossbows between the emperor and the king of Wei, only one layer of window paper is not broken.
"Huo Zheng, who is fishing for fame and reputation, always cares about his name as a benevolent and wise saint and does everything slowly. Princess Anle is his direct sister. If I let him give up Qingzhou and Yuzhou, he will agree for his own face."
He Zhen stood with his back to him. The night wind blew, and his white brocade robe was making a loud noise. Xie Suiyang heard him smile: "Huo Yan is too cold and thin. He only cares about seizing the country by himself and won't care about his sister at all. He already has the strength to fight Huo Zheng. If Huo Zheng loses Qingzhou and Yuzhou, he's afraid that he will be pulled down from the throne by his good brother."
Qingzhou Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains and has always been the natural granary of the imperial court. If it is given to the state of Wu, I'm afraid the little emperor is really not the opponent of the king of Wei.
"What I want is rivers and mountains, not to change a Huo to be emperor. If I want the two states of Qinghai and Henan, they are already in my bag, why should I change them with a woman?" he Zhen said faintly.
Xie Suiyang was surprised and leaned over and said, "you, Hou Yingming, are ministers... Not thoughtful enough." You are right. If you can start a war between the emperor and the king of Wei and let them compete with each other, it is the best way for the state of Wu to follow in the end. The emperor and the king of Wei have been holding back for many years in order to be afraid of his family, but if you add a little stimulant to force the emperor to take the lead in removing the king of Wei and let the Huo fight internally, the Huo family will be separated The subjugation is not far away.
He Zhen looked noncommittally at the map on the wall. The position of Chang'an on the map drew a small circle with ink pen. He stared at the small dot, but his thoughts gradually flew away, as if he had heard the voice of gold and iron horses on the battlefield.
The next morning, the continuous rain still didn't stop. Huo Wanhua tired opened her eyes and looked at the hazy rain in the distance. A cold wind blew, and she couldn't help shivering.
The clothes given to her by the maids were very thin and made of the coarsest linen, which made her delicate skin painful. The ground was already very cold. I don't know who took away the thin blanket she covered yesterday, so she curled up on the cold ground for half a night.
Huo Wanhua raised her hand and reluctantly rolled her hair into a crooked bun. Her face was hot and her voice was very uncomfortable. She could feel that she was heating. A tall young woman came up and asked her quietly, "who are you?"
She raised her eyes and looked at each other. Without asking whether she could, the young woman smiled gently: "you were caught by them, too? My surname is ma. I'm the youngest daughter of the governor of Bozhou. Look at your appearance, I'm also a woman from an aristocratic family?"
A few months ago, Bozhou fell. The governor of Bozhou fled in a hurry with his family. I think the little daughter of the governor of Bozhou was unfortunately captured by the Wu army at that time.
"Here comes the meal!" someone shouted. The women in the room rushed up like crazy and packed the people who came to deliver the meal. Miss Ma rushed to the front and added two new blood marks on her face when she came back. She wanted to smile and didn't care much.
Miss Ma handed her a steamed bread and said with a smile, "when I first came here, I looked like you now. You'll know after staying in this ghost place for a few months. Nothing is important. Filling your stomach is the most important. Eat quickly."
She quickly swallowed two steamed buns herself, then took a copper pot from the table, poured it down, and rushed the two steamed buns into her stomach. Only then did she breathe a sigh.
Huo Wanhua stared at her in a daze. Miss Ma was rather embarrassed: "I... I used to be like you, but I didn't have such a good appetite. Alas, now I can eat anything in order to live. Living is the most important thing. I'm still waiting for my father to pick me up."
Miss Ma did grab the easiest steamed bread to swallow. Huo Wanhua looked around and found that many female prisoners around were holding a bowl of strange color porridge, which seemed to give off a disgusting taste. She silently broke a small piece of steamed bread and chewed it in her mouth. Her throat was dry and hard, but she swallowed it.
