Qiao Xi was carried into a house by Su Heting.

"This is where?"

After being put down, Qiao Xi smoothed her slightly messy hair and asked calmly.

Su Heting walked out the door and said, "This is my house."

He was giving instructions to someone outside the door, and after a while, someone brought in tea and cakes.

The pastry is made of glutinous rice, which was once Qiao Xi’s favorite.

Su Heting pushed the tray towards Qiao Xi, picked up a piece and started eating.

Qiao Xi had been traveling these days and had been eating very casually, so his stomach was indeed a little empty.

But during those years in the secret factory, her meals were irregular, and when she was on a mission, she would skip meals for several times, so her stomach was no longer as good as before.

Unless she was extremely hungry, she would try not to eat things like glutinous rice cakes that were difficult to digest, so as to avoid feeling uncomfortable in her stomach later.

He picked up the tea and took a sip.

Su Heting glanced at her and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

He received news that Qiao Xi had taken the half-dead man and had only eaten a bun since morning.

Qiao Xi was about to say she wasn't hungry when her stomach started to sing the empty city plan. She felt a little embarrassed, which was rare for her. "I've been feeling a little uncomfortable in my stomach lately."

Su Heting's gaze fell on her abdomen. He frowned, then stood up and left the house.

Qiao Xi sat in the house for a while. Seeing that Su Heting had not returned yet, she was about to go out to check on the house when she smelled a fragrance.

"Are you cooking?"

Qiao Xi followed the smell to the kitchen and saw Su Heting standing in front of the stove tearing a piece of chicken.

He tore the cooked chicken into hair-like strips, and porridge was cooking in the pot.

"Stir it in the pot." Su Heting instructed Qiao Xi without raising his eyebrows.

Qiao Xi wasn't stupid. He guessed that he was making porridge for himself, so he quickly responded and did it. Then he asked, "What else do you want to do?"

Su Heting stuffed the untorn chicken in his hand into hers and said, "Tear it into smaller pieces so it can be more flavorful."

Then he turned and left the house.

After a while, he came in with a cabbage.

Qiao Xi saw him washing and cutting vegetables skillfully and was a little surprised that he could do these things.

But then I thought that he was abandoned in the mountains when he was young and grew up wild until he was six or seven years old and was adopted by a crazy old man. It was normal for him to do these things.

It's just that his graceful demeanor makes people subconsciously forget his background.

Pursing her lips, Qiao Xi asked, "When did you buy this house?"

"half year ago."

Qiao Xi had just taken a look and found that the house was not big.

Su Heting is the king of northern Xinjiang. The fact that he came to Liangzhou in southern Xinjiang to buy such an inconspicuous house only shows that he had already prepared to take over Liangzhou.

In other words, if Qiao Xi had not taken the lead, Liangzhou might have belonged to Su Heting by now.

"What I just said is true."

Qiao Xi finished tearing the last bit of chicken and said seriously, "I just want revenge. As long as you don't stop me, I won't do anything to harm you."

"That is to say, if I stop you, you will kill me."

Qiao Xi was silent.

She will show no mercy to anyone who stands in her way of revenge.

In fact, she had already wanted to kill Su Heting once before.

Su Heting still had something to wonder about. He poured the shredded chicken into the boiling porridge and said casually, "Is it worth it to spend the rest of your life on revenge for a man?"

worth!

But Qiao Xi was not stupid enough to tell this to Su Heting at this time, even though she and Su Heting were a cooperative couple.

"Gulu..."

As Su Heting stirred it, the chicken porridge gave off a mouth-watering aroma.

Qiao Xi's stomach made a sound again.

But seeing that Su Heting had no intention of throwing the vegetables into the pot, Qiao Xi was afraid that the porridge would have to cook for a while. In order to hide the embarrassment of swallowing her saliva, she casually asked, "Su Heting, have you ever had someone you like?"

The stirring hand paused.

Su Heting glanced at Qiao Xi meaningfully.

With just that one glance, Qiao Xi felt a bone-chilling chill.

She was sure it wasn't her imagination.

I wondered in my heart that maybe I asked something I shouldn't have asked and touched Su Heting's minefield.

I didn't expect him to answer, but he did answer, "Yes."

Qiao Xi didn't know how to respond. She was not a gossipy person, so she just stared at Su Heting pouring the vegetables into the pot without asking any more questions.

Waited for another moment.

Su Heting scooped some porridge with a spoon and handed it to Qiao Xi, "Taste the saltiness."

Qiao Xi took it, blew on it, and just as she drank it, she heard Su Heting say quietly, "But all my sincerity was wasted."

Her expression was like that of a resentful woman who was abandoned by a heartless man. Qiao Xi choked on Su Heting's face with a mouthful of porridge.

"Ahem... I'm sorry..."

Qiao Xi hurriedly wiped Su Heting's face with her sleeve. She was really surprised that the King of Jiangbei, who was known for his cruelty, had such a side to him.

"Qiao Xi."

Su Heting gritted his teeth as he was sprayed in the face.

"I did not do it on purpose."

Qiao Xi admitted defeat and hugged her stomach, "I'm hungry."

Su Heting was defeated, "Serve it yourself."

Qiao Xi filled two bowls and sat in the kitchen waiting for Su Heting.

Instead of waiting for Su Heting, the red fox came and took the green snake to the mountains to have fun as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou.

The red fox put the wild flowers he had picked up from the mountains on Qiao Xi, and ate Su Heting's bowl without any hesitation.

Qiao Xi put away the flowers and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Seeing the red fox eating so sweetly, Qiao Xi became even hungrier.

After waiting for a while, Su Heting still didn't show up, so he stood up and filled another bowl and left it to dry, then started eating at the low table in the kitchen.

When Su Heting appeared at the kitchen door, he saw a fox and a man eating happily.

Qiao Xi was alert and saw him at once, "I didn't wait for you, I ate first."

She pointed to a bowl next to her and said, "This is yours."

Su Heting didn't move. "What did you do to make the emperor give Ji Yao to me as a concubine?"

The reason why he had been out for so long was that just as he was about to come back after wiping his face clean, he received a message from the capital.

The emperor granted him a marriage with Ji Yao.

The team delivering the imperial edict was already on their way to northern Xinjiang. Because it was a secret edict, the secret agents in the capital took great pains to find out its contents.

He immediately understood why Qiao Xi was so sure that the Yao family would abandon the emperor and join him.

Ji Chuan betrayed and deceived the Yao family first, and the emperor helped conceal and exploit them. The Yao family will definitely resent the emperor and Ji Chuan.

If Ji Chuan lost Jiangnan again or died, and Ji Yao married him, the Yao family would naturally stand on his side.

Qiao Xi glanced at the porridge in her bowl with regret, "Marriage can make the cooperation stronger."

This is what he said when he wanted to force her to marry him.

"Qiao Xi."

Su Heting exuded a dangerous aura. "Have you lost all attachment to this world? You dare to plot against my marriage. Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?"

"afraid."

The person who said he was afraid didn't have a trace of fear in his tone. Qiao Xi said calmly, his expression unchanged, "But if you want to die, wait until I get my revenge."

Looking at the stubborn and paranoid Qiao Xi, Su Heting felt an unbearable pain in his heart. He pushed her to the door and said, "Get out."

Qiao Xi did not leave. She looked at Su Heting calmly.

"I wrote an emotional letter to the emperor, telling him that I would temporarily put my plan to assassinate you on hold and avenge Bixiang first."

She is the sword in the emperor's hand. The sword does not need deep strategy, as long as it is loyal enough.

That letter would make the emperor feel that since she could be so sincere to a palace maid like Bixiang, she would be even more affectionate to him as her benefactor.

The emperor would trust her more and stop Cao Ying from coming to the border.

Cao Ying cannot come here for the time being, and cannot see Ji Yao, otherwise he will definitely discover her plan and find out the truth about Bixiang's murder.

"I do suspect that the emperor is reluctant to give up his benefits in exchange for Ji Yao."

Moreover, the emperor was always worried that her memory would be revived and did not dare to trust her completely. Therefore, he would make preparations for both situations. According to his previous plan, he would let Ji Yao stay with Su Heting. In this way, there would be an extra layer of protection when killing Su Heting.

She looked at Su Heting and said calmly, "But as you said before, I didn't promise to explain everything to you."

Su Heting looked at her, his deep eyes as dark as a well, and he suddenly chuckled.

"Qiao Xi, I'm curious, who is the man that's worth you planning everything just for revenge?"
