Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 1

“What do you always do with me? Get out of here!”

Six years ago, Xibi Palace was prosperous, and Concubine Yu Gui, the birth mother of Xiao Changning’s harem, was still alive. Thanks to his mother, Xiao Changning, who is beautiful and squeamish, is even more favored by the emperor. In the years when Concubine Yu Gui was most favored, Princess Changning’s food and clothing consumption was even better than that of Queen Liang’s princess.

At this time, the little princess of the golden hairpin was akimbo, staring at the juvenile **** standing in front of her with her head down, slightly raised her chin, her tone was full of pride and arrogance, she curled her eyebrows and said: “Dirty death NS.”

The spring sun was just right, and the red fragrance was falling. The young boy’s dull ocher-colored **** suit was stained with muddy water, and the clothes on his back broke into cloth strips due to the whipping, and the whipping was mixed with blood stains, and it was filthy. What is strange is that even though he is behind bars, the boy is not at all embarrassed. He is half-deaf and pulls his eyelids, his eyelashes cast a cool shadow.

This young **** is Shen Xuan.

By the way, at that time, Shenxuan was not Admiral Shen, the **** who is now the most powerful eunuch. He is not even named Shenxuan. He is notoriously known as Shen Qi. He did not know what he had committed. After being flogged, he was taken from The Superintendent of Li was demoted to Xiao Changning’s Xibi Palace to do handyman duties.

When he first saw it, facing Xiao Changning’s scrutiny, Shen Qi just gently raised his hand to wipe off the blood stains on his face, and barely stood up straight, his posture was cold and calm.

Xiao Changning had a headache.

She has always disliked eunuchs, since the first emperor indulged the Dongchang factory and the eunuchs were involved in politics, she hated the group of dead eunuchs who were both male and female! Therefore, her Xibi Palace is the place with the fewest eunuchs among the palaces.

Shen Qi lowered his head, Xiao Changning couldn’t see his appearance, only saw a blood drop across his thin and heroic cheeks along the temples, and dust dripped from the smooth chin.

“Princess, his name is Shen Qi, he is a handyman assigned to you by the ceremonial supervisor.” The close court lady said cautiously.

“Supervisor? If it weren’t for the crime, how could the **** of the Supervisor be demoted to me as a handyman?” It was mostly a hot potato. Xiao Changning hadn’t even thought about it, and said harshly to the young man: “Don’t The **** serves, my palace hates his sissy who bullies me like this!”

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Xuan, who had been bowing her head, suddenly raised her eyes to look at her.

After six years, Xiao Changning has forgotten his face, only those long, narrow young eyes are deeply imprinted in her brain like a knife-cold, sharp, and dangerous, like a kind of dormancy. Of beasts.

Xiao Changning froze suddenly, feeling that he might have said too much, and he was just sprinkling salt on this little eunuch’s wound… But what if her mouth hurts? She is a princess. Is there any reason for the princess to apologize to the castrate?

“Princess, what should he do?” The court lady said, recalling Xiao Changning’s sanity.

Xiao Changning’s lips opened. After a long while, she coughed dryly and hummed with no confidence: “Isn’t there a shortage of manpower in the East Factory? I think he is just right.”

Knowing this gift, Xiao Changning personally pushed Shen Xuan on the road of Shura where the six relatives did not recognize and the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha…

Six years later.

Taking a nap in autumn, Xiao Changning woke up from his dream and sat up groggy.

There was a person standing outside the curtain, and there was a faint sob. Xiao Changning held his forehead with one hand, and opened the apricot veil with the other. Seeing that the fourteen-year-old emperor Xiao Huan stood pitifully on the side of the bed, two lines of wet tears still hung on his childish face.

When he saw his relatives, Xiao Huan flattened his mouth, tears bursting into his face, and said sadly: “Sister…”

Xiao Huan is the sixth oldest among many sisters, and is the younger brother of Xiao Changning’s mother. After the death of Concubine Yu Gui, the young Xiao Huan was fostered under the knees of Empress Liang, who lost her son in her early years. Last winter, the first emperor passed away for a long time, and Xiao Huan took the throne with the support of Empress Liang.

Empress Dowager Liang listened to politics on the grounds that the new emperor was young and ignorant, and competed secretly with the Dongchang forces. The little emperor survived in the cracks and lived no better than Xiao Changning.

The autumn tiger was coming fiercely, and the weather was still hot. Xiao Changning only put on a single coat and went to bed. He reached out to take the silk kerchief handed by the maidservant, wiped away tears for Xiao Huan indiscriminately, and asked, “What’s the matter with the emperor? The queen mother? Scolding you again?”

The little emperor shook his head and sobbed: “No.”

Xiao Changning wondered: “Then what are you crying for?”

The little emperor was so sad that he looked at Xiao Changning with a face of life and death, and howled: “Sister, I’m sorry for you!”

“Hey, don’t!”

The little emperor was growing fast. He was already as tall as Xiao Changning at this time, and leaped forward like a big dog. Xiao Changning had to hug him in a hurry, but was knocked back. The clothes were wet with the emperor’s tears and nose. Xiao Changning sighed and flicked his smooth forehead, “After all, what did the emperor do to the palace?”

“Sister…” Xiao Huan raised his slightly childish face, with red eyes pulling Xiao Changning’s sleeves, and said pitifully, “Admiral Shen said that if you don’t marry him, he will abolish me and establish a new ruler. Ugh…”

Xiao Changning’s sleepiness was not cleared, and his mind had not been turned for a while, he digs out his ears and asked, “Admiral Shen? Who?”

The little emperor sniffed and whispered, “It’s the one you scolded as a sissy six years ago, Shen Xuan…”

Rumble—

Suddenly, Xiao Changning was sober and pale.

Shen Xuan’s name was like a thunderous ear, and she sat on the seat of Dongchang admiral with blood on her hands at a young age. In the past two years, just hearing his name can scare people into two battles! Such a notorious Raksha Quan eunuch, Xiao Changning shunned him, when did he provoke him?

Wait… six years ago? Sissy?

“Isn’t the little **** who I scolded as a sissy named Shen Qi?!”

…

It’s really people sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky.

“Marry my grand princess to the eunuch? It’s ridiculous! Does the courtier agree? Does the first emperor agree? Does the ancestors and ancestors of the Xiao family’s imperial mausoleum agree?”

Inside Ci Ning Palace, Xiao Changning’s eyes were red, “You all bullied my biological mother, who died young. He is a poor child without a backer.”

These days, she cried and cried, and made trouble, but the Queen Mother was determined to sell the helpless little princess to the **** as his wife.

Faced with Xiao Changning’s crying, Dowager Liang looked back if she didn’t see her, she just rolled her hand with the bunch of agarwood and ruby ​​beads. For a long time, she raised her slender eyes and sighed, “Changning, the Ai family agreed to marry you to Shen Xuan, not for the benefit of the Ai family, but for the first emperor, for the emperor, and for the sake of my Jiangshan. Will not be destroyed by the hand of the eunuch! When Shen Xuan is married to the royal family, Dongchang will be deadly loyal to the emperor…”

So you deserve to sacrifice her?

Shaking all over, Xiao Changning suddenly pulled out the hairpin on his head and pressed it against his neck, and resolutely said, “If the Queen Mother doesn’t take back her decree, I would rather die than follow!”

She forced her life, and Empress Dowager Liang just sneered, looking at her as a demon indifferently, as if she was looking at a joke.

The Queen Mother Liang said in a deep voice, “Changning, the Ai family tells you the truth, you died in front of the Ai family today, and this corpse must be put on a wedding gown and carried into the Shen family’s ancestral grave. You have always been a wise man, know what It’s called’A person who knows the times is a brilliant man.’”

After a pause, she took a sip from the teacup on the case table and swept across Xiao Changning’s face with a cold look, “What’s more, Admiral Shen has always been a person who must report to him. If you hadn’t done anything to him, you had planted a sin. Guo, why does he look down on the other eldest princesses, so he wants to marry you by name?”

This sentence simply hit Xiao Changning’s death hole. Back then, the phrase “I hate you sissy girls who deceive me the most” is like a nightmare, lingering in my ears…

How could Xiao Changning think that right now, the Dongchang admiral Shen Xuan, who was holding the emperor in order to make the princes, was actually the desolate little **** Shen Qi! How could he have expected that he would bear hatred for six years because of one sentence!

Seeing that Xiao Changning was on the verge of collapse, Empress Dowager Liang softened her tone and coaxed her: “Changning, those who make big things don’t stick to the trivial. If you don’t marry him today, I’m afraid this Wanli Heshan will change her name to Yi and Shen in the future. If you marry him smoothly, at least you will be a princess and the admiral’s wife. He doesn’t dare to kill you and is an eunuch. You don’t have to worry about being defiled by him. You may return to Zhao in a few years.”

Xiao Changning looked at the calculating eyes of the Empress Dowager Shangliang and thought to himself: Only a fool believes your nonsense! A princess who has been married to Quan Huan, how can there be a day to return to Zhao?

Seeing Xiao Changning struggling to remain silent, Queen Mother Liang got up lazily, gently held Xiao Changning’s trembling hand, and took off the hairpin in her hand.

This ambitious woman looked directly into Xiao Changning’s eyes, and said in a mute voice, “Xiao Huan is your own brother. If the Aijia doesn’t do anything, he will be killed by Shenxuan’s hand. Changning, you will not die. What’s not going to be saved?”

“Do you think, what can I change by marrying the past one?”

“At least we have a chance.”

“What does the Queen Mother mean?

“Assist Ai Jia and the emperor and kill Shen Xuan.”

Xiao Changning’s pupils shrank, withdrew his hand, and took a step back.

The Empress Dowager Liang squinted her eyes and issued an ultimatum: “The wolf ambition of the Dongchang is clearly revealed, and only the Qing Dynasty can save the life of the Xiao family. After Shen Xuan’s death, the Ai family will welcome you back to the palace with a big gift and seal the food town. how?”

The author has something to say: This pit has been digging for a long time, and finally began to fill the soil~

Changning: Very good. As a eldest princess, my parents have died since I was a child, and my stepmother forced me to marry a dead **** as soon as I appeared… What did I do wrong? I also want to raise a little slave like my sister Xinyu in the previous article!

Shen Xuan: Heh, isn’t it good for me as a slave to raise you?
