Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Qiao Xi understood that what Su Heting really wanted to ask was whether she had ever slept with a man.

He really was bothered by what happened on their wedding night.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi said, "Yes."

The prince is her fiancé. They grew up together and she has a crush on him. This is a fact.

They had never done anything out of line, so Qiao Xi felt that any further explanation would be an insult to the prince.

How could he, such a decent and chaste man, do anything to her before marriage?

But she had no idea how her period ended, and Su Heting might not believe her suspicions.

During the years that Su Heting raised Qiao Xi, he took good care of her and never let her suffer any accidents, but he was not sure what kind of experience Qiao Xi had after his death.

In the past few days, Fang Jiepa and the emperor's words made him extremely anxious.

He didn't like being dominated by such emotions, so he was too lazy to guess and simply asked Qiao Xi directly.

When he got Qiao Xi's reply, he became even more annoyed.

What the emperor said was true. Qiao Xi really had another lover, which was why she was so heartless to him.

Holding Qiao Xi's waist, Su Heting said viciously, "Now you are my wife, you are not allowed to have anything to do with him anymore."

At least for these nine months, he would never allow it.

"he died."

Su Heting was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Is it because of him that you turned against the emperor?"

Qiao Xi did not deny it.

Su Heting felt very upset.

After his death, Qiao Xi had no reaction and turned to the emperor. However, in order to avenge another man, she married him and devoted herself to him.

What really bothered him was that no matter how moved he was back then, he couldn't bear to desecrate her in the slightest. The only time he did so was when he was drunk and couldn't control himself, and he only kissed her hair.

But she fell in love with another man and gave up her innocence before getting married, without any name or status.

He cherished her, but she abused herself.

"Su Heting, I have a deep blood feud with the emperor. I am cooperating with you for revenge. I don't know why you want to force me to marry you, but our cooperation does not include romance or romantic relationships."

Qiao Xi's cold voice rang out, "If you mind my past, I can keep my distance from you in private, but you still have to pretend to value me on the surface. This is what we agreed on before."

She doesn't want to waste time on love affairs, what she wants is power.

Of course, she could also try to win Su Heting's heart, thereby getting all his help, and even taking everything from him for herself.

But Su Heting is not someone who is easily deceived. If Qiao Xi wants to gain Su Heting's complete trust and love, she must first invest herself.

In order to seek revenge, she would do anything, but she wanted to keep her feelings for the prince.

Su Heting's face darkened. "You wish for it. You deserve my love."

I gave it to you before, but you didn’t know how to cherish it.

He wanted to ask who was the man who was worthy of Qiao Xi's desperate efforts, and who dared to seduce his fiancée behind his back. He wanted to dig up his grave.

But now he found it extremely boring.

Qiao Xi was just cooperating with him, and he married her just to collect a debt, a debt of the past nine years, nothing more.

He pinched Qiao Xi's waist with both hands and made her sit on his legs. "The emperor is hypocritical and cares most about his reputation. If you let Xu An accuse him of stealing the minister's wife, he will definitely investigate this matter carefully.

Without my cooperation, Bixiang's case will not stand up to investigation."

Qiao Xi clenched her fingers suddenly.

Su Heting sneered, "This king does need the water source of Liangzhou, but this king can take Liangzhou directly."

"You want to break the contract?"

Qiao Xi's pupils shrank slightly.

Su Heting lifted Qiao Xi's chin with his bony hand and said indifferently, "Qiao Xi, if you give me food, I will abduct you to the north of the border as promised. Marrying you will convince the emperor that I love you, and there is no conflict with the previous agreement.

If you marry me, I will give you five thousand soldiers. I have fulfilled my promise and the payment will be in full.

But I didn't promise you not to capture Liang Province. Do you think Lou Xin and Xu An can resist my northern army?"

For the first time, Qiao Xi wanted to kill Su Heting.

"What exactly does the prince want?"

Su Heting did not answer, but continued, "The emperor allowed you to stay in Jiangbei because he believed your lies, thinking that I was infatuated with your beauty and gave you the opportunity to assassinate me and take over Jiangbei for him.

But the emperor is not stupid. On the contrary, he is a master at getting bored with the old and loving the new in relationships. He will judge others by his own standards and doubt whether his love for you is real or how long it can last.

If he finds out that you and I are estranged, do you think he will still let you stay in Xinjiang?"

Qiao Xi felt a chill on her back.

Su Heting knows everything.

And everything he said was right.

Pulling Qiao Xi tighter in his arms, Su Heting lowered his eyes to look at her, "You were wrong about that time at the blacksmith shop.

Although I cannot bear to see the people starve, I am not a good person and I don’t mind being a villain.

So, Qiao Xi, do you understand your situation now?

Since you need to use me, then I will be your Princess of the Northern Frontier. I didn't marry a wife just for show. Naturally, as long as I live, I will cooperate with you and protect my wife's city."

Qiao Xi had never been anyone's wife, and no one taught her how to be a good wife, but she could learn.

As long as Su Heting doesn't set his sights on Liangzhou, as long as Su Heting doesn't ruin her revenge plan.

She raised her head and kissed Su Heting on the lips. She had no experience, but in her previous life, she had played many roles in order to assassinate princes from all over the country, and she had seen how men and women kissed.

Qiao Xi has always been smart and can learn some things just by looking at them.

But her slightly skillful technique annoyed Su Heting.

When he was the crown prince, Su Heting was reluctant to touch Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi learned all these from that man.

Thinking of this, Su Heting angrily pulled Qiao Xi off his body and threw her onto the bed.

Still not satisfied, he pulled the quilt over and suffocated Qiao Xi completely inside.

I wish I could kill her right here and there.

Worried that she would really suffocate, he impatiently pulled the quilt down a little and kissed her roughly.

But, damn.

He will not.

He imitated what Qiao Xi had just done, but when his teeth collided, the pain was so severe that his skull almost burst.

Finally, he bit Qiao Xi's lips fiercely until he smelled blood, then he let her go and turned over to lie beside her.

Qiao Xi calmly endured Su Heting's anger, and in her mind she was weighing the impact that killing Su Heting at this moment would have on her revenge.

What surprised her was that the man who looked so angry ended up biting himself.

"Auntie Green."

The man's voice interrupted Qiao Xi's thoughts.

She looked up and saw a small green snake slowly poking its head out from under the quilt at the foot of the bed. It seemed unhappy that the show it was enjoying was suddenly interrupted, and it spat out its tongue at Su Heting.

Su Heting was disliked by the little snake's meekness and lost his patience. He grabbed it and threw it at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was not afraid of snakes, but the one Su Heting threw at her was a poisonous snake, and she instinctively grabbed the snake by the vital point.

Su Heting touched his bitten inner lip.

It’s not that he was reluctant to bite Qiao Xi, he just disdained to punish a woman in such a way.

She snorted, "Serving and caring for your husband's elders is also your duty as a wife. You hurt Aunt Lu."

Qiao Xi rarely showed a confused expression.

She thought she heard wrongly.

Su Heting said that this snake is his...elder?

Aunt Green?

"When you came to me, you didn't find out whether I grew up in the mountains.

Naturally, there are some distant relatives from the mountains. Aunt Lu is old and not in good health, so you will be the one to take care of her from now on."

Qiao Xi looked at the green snake, which was still flexible even though it was pinched by seven inches, and said truthfully, "I have never raised a snake."

Su Heting sat up, his eyes dim, "I have never been used like this before. Besides, it's my aunt."

This means that you must raise it.

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth and decided to agree.

But then he heard Su Heting shout out the window again, "Hong Gu."

The window was pushed open, and a fiery red fox jumped in, baring its teeth at Su Heting with a big, extremely bright...silly smile.
