C3 Chess piece

Xu Huifei had received Mu Qianxue's favor and had always been on good terms with her. Now that she had been slapped by Madame Cao, she couldn't help but solemnly shout, "How dare you treat the Empress like this!"

Madame Cao had always been a cautious and timid person, never wasting her life, and was rather popular in the palace. Before today, she had also been extremely respectful towards Mu Qianxue, and had gone to the Yongde Palace even more often than she had when she was in a coma. How could she become so arrogant and disrespectful in the blink of an eye as if she had become a completely different person?

Before Xu Huifei could finish her sentence, Madam Cao bluntly said, "You're the one who's the brazen one. Since when did you have the right to speak here?"

Although she was ranked after Madame Cao, she was also a first rank palace concubine. No matter what, Madame Cao, who was only half a rank higher than her, had no reason to scold her in such a manner. Yet, Xiao Ruo Ao turned a blind eye to this.

At that moment, Madame Cao was still resentful as she stared at Mu Qianxue, who had yet to recover from the palm strike, and said sinisterly, "Do you really think that you are the empress of this world? Let me tell you, His Majesty and I are childhood friends; from start to finish, the person His Majesty truly wants to marry is me, and I am the empress in his heart, you ? It's just a chess piece! "

"Chess piece ?" After muttering to herself several times, Mu Qianxue finally recovered her wits. She grabbed Madame Cao's wrist and sternly said, "What chess piece, tell me!"

Her long nails dug into Madame Cao's sleeve, causing her to frown in pain. She forcefully pushed her away, and when she saw Mu Qianxue sitting on the ground with the pearl hairpin dropped, looking extremely miserable, the Madame Cao revealed a vengeful smile. All along, she had always been underneath Mu Qianxue, and every time they met, she would have to look up to Mu Qianxue.

"Do you think that four years ago, His Majesty went to South Zhao to ask for marriage because he liked you?" No, His Majesty only thinks that you will be a very useful chess piece. In order to fulfill his wish, he has given you everything that belongs to me. " Speaking of this, Madame Cao's face contorted. Even though she had personally agreed to this matter back then, there was still some unwillingness within her heart.

"As expected, because of this Princess of Nan Zhao, coupled with the alliance that you made with Nan Zhao, and the elimination of all the troubles in the Southern Wilderness over the years, the late emperor began to pay attention to his majesty. In three years' time, his majesty had made many miraculous feats, but the crown prince had made many mistakes, and in the end, he crippled the previous emperor and changed his majesty!"

Every word that Cao Shi said was like a sharp awl piercing through her skin and meridians all the way to her bone marrow, causing her entire body to break out in cold sweat.

She refused Xia Yue's support and struggled to stand up from the ground, supporting her delicate body with difficulty. Step by step, she walked in front of Xiao Ruo Ao. In the past, every time they looked at each other, she would see her own shadow in that pair of eyes.

"You've always... You're lying to me? " As she asked this question, Mu Qianxue's entire body trembled. She was afraid ? He was afraid that he would receive a positive answer. He was afraid that his four years of happiness would be a lie!

Xiao Ruo looked at her proudly for a while, then suddenly said: "You are very beautiful, the world has passed down your beautiful appearance, not a single bit ?"

"I asked you if you've been lying to me!" Mu Qianxue interrupted him with a malevolent expression as her entire body trembled uncontrollably from her excitement.

He raised his hand to caress Mu Qianxue's pale face as he slowly said: "The beauty of a beauty like her, a world-shocking talent, whoever marries her should be able to rule the world; Cao Xiangcheng didn't bully me; in these past few years, if you hadn't been giving advice behind my back and taught me how to take care of myself, how could I have been able to achieve great things in front of the late emperor and force the crown prince into an ugly state? It can be said that my contributions to this extent were the greatest!"

His words caused Mu Qianxue to recall the years before Xiao Ruo Ao ascended the throne. She exhausted all of her heart and plotted time and again, allowing Xiao Ruo Ao to stand out amongst the dozen or so princes, step by step becoming the candidate to be the crown prince in Emperor Chu's heart. Although those days were difficult, she didn't complain at all, because she loved Xiao Ruo Ao so much that she would pay her life for it.

Mu Qianxue waved the hand that was moving across her face, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then, what about you, are you going to use this method of destroying Nan Zhao to repay me?"

"Reaching the throne is only my first goal. What I want is to pacify the countries, to make the West Chu the only country in the Central Plains. The Yan Kingdom is distant and barren, and the southern lands are vast and rich.

"They are my home country, and I am ?." Without waiting for Mu Qianxue to finish speaking, Xiao Ruo Ao coldly said, "This is not a reason!"

After saying that, he suddenly laughed, "If we really become husband and wife, I would be a bit worried. At a critical moment, I would not be able to harden my heart!"

Xu Huifei was puzzled by these words. Hadn't they already been married four years ago? Why would they say such words?

"What do you mean?" Mu Qianxue had vaguely guessed a bit, but didn't dare to think any further. If it was really as she had expected, then this four year husband and wife pair would truly be a complete and utter joke!

Xiao Ruo proudly looked at her and lightly smiled: "Princess Xuanji is extraordinarily talented. Could it be that you cannot guess my meaning?" After a short pause, he continued, "When you were in Nanzhao, your body was unharmed, but when you arrived in Xichu, you were always plagued by illness, and your body was weak. You could not even perform the ceremonies of Zhou Gong.

Ah!" Xu Huifei cried out in shock, and at the next moment, she covered her mouth tightly. Her eyes were still full of lingering fear, and she was unable to perform the etiquette of Zhou ? Could it be that the empress has never truly been in the same room as the empress? Was she still a virgin? This... How was this possible!

Mu Qianxue's chest heaved up and down as a sinister light shot out from her eyes, seeking to kill. "You were the one who did this?"

Xiao Ruo arrogantly said: "That's right, just as I said, with such a devastatingly beautiful woman like you, if you accompanied me night after night, I'm afraid that I really will treat you as my wife. Thus, from the day you stepped into Xizu, I had someone drugged in your diet, causing you to be unable to share the same bed with me for the past four years! Because... I want the world, not you! "
