Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight
Chapter 3 Why Marry Me
The sky is full of yellow sand.
Qiao Xi had been "abducted" to northern Xinjiang two days ago.
Bixiang lowered her voice and said, "Losing the imperial tax grain is a capital crime, but as long as Su Heting is killed, the crime can be atonement."
Qiao Xi sneered in his heart.
Why should she forgive her sin?
There was drought in many parts of Dayou and the people were living in poverty, but the emperor still wanted to repair his dilapidated tomb. This was her way of fighting back against the emperor.
But it's not enough.
"His Majesty is very angry. You can't let him down again this time." Bixiang continued to threaten.
But Qiao Xi knew that the emperor would calm down after his anger and let her stay in northern Xinjiang, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Su Heting.
In this way, she could legitimately stay away from the emperor's sight without being suspected.
Everything went according to her plan and progressed well.
The only surprise was that Su Heting went crazy and insisted on marrying her.
The wedding dress was delivered, but since then, he avoided her and only let his subordinates contact her to discuss the details of the cooperation.
The play was halfway done, so Qiao Xi could only continue singing and make plans later.
"To prevent Su the thief from being on guard, please do not reveal your martial arts skills before you take action."
Qiao Xi is good at martial arts, but Su Heting is no ordinary person, Bixiang reminded him again.
Thinking of Su Heting, she became angry with Qiao Xi again.
The emperor trusted Qiao Xi so much that he gave her the important task of escorting grain, but she didn't notice anything unusual about the small inn, which led to them all being knocked unconscious by the Xinjiang Northern Army.
All the food was looted, and the master and servant were taken abducted to the north of Xinjiang.
Fortunately, His Majesty had foresight and used medicine to cover up Qiao Xi's internal strength, causing Su Heting to mistakenly believe that both the master and the servant were weak women, and he did not guard them so strictly, giving her the opportunity to contact the emperor.
Needless to say, the emperor was furious, but fortunately, Qiao Xi's face caught Su Heting's eye.
Su Heting's achievements are so great that His Majesty has wanted to kill him for a long time, but he is very difficult to kill.
Now, Qiao Xi had accidentally stumbled into the northern part of Xinjiang, and His Majesty had given her a chance to make amends. "Don't let His Majesty down again."
Qiao Xi and Su Heting had agreed that they would deliberately let down their guard and allow Bixiang to contact the emperor.
Apart from forcing her to marry him, Su Heting cooperated very well, leaving Bixiang with no suspicion.
Everything Bixiang said was instructed by the emperor, but why would Qiao Xi follow the emperor's wishes?
He remained loyal on the surface, "Your Majesty has been so kind to me, and I feel so guilty for losing the food.
This time, not only will I kill Su Heting, I will also hand over his troops to Your Majesty.
As long as I can relieve your majesty's worries, I am willing to pay any price, including my life."
She painted a bigger picture and waited for Bixiang to pass these words to the emperor.
Bixiang had no idea what Qiao Xi was thinking, and was very proud when she heard this.
The emperor and Qiao Xi have a blood feud, but Qiao Xi is willing to be the emperor's slave. In addition to her memory being changed, her contribution is also indispensable.
In the evening, after delivering the letter to the emperor, she reminded him again, "Tomorrow's wedding is a good opportunity to make a move. You must seize it."
Qiao Xi nodded and lowered her eyes to hide the sinister look in them.
She will not relieve the emperor's worries.
On the contrary, she wanted to overturn his throne and use his blood to sacrifice to the souls of her loved ones.
But she needed to think again about whether she should continue to cooperate with Su Heting.
Suddenly, a cold dagger was placed across Qiao Xi's neck, and a harsh female voice sounded.
"A twenty-year-old unmarried woman, instead of looking for a husband in the capital, comes here to seduce the man that I, Ji Yao, like. She's really courting death."
Ji Yao is gorgeous, and her long skirt with gold thread waist shows off her graceful figure.
But she was more jealous of Qiao Xi's fairy-like appearance and the perfect curves under her plain white dress.
Qiao Xi turned her head, her eyes calm, and she had no interest in Su Heting's peach blossoms.
Ji Yao thought she was pretending to be calm and said contemptuously, "Apart from your seductive tricks, what can you do for him?
It's a drought now, and there's a shortage of food and water in the northern border. He can't just go and rob every time.
My father is the governor of southern Xinjiang, in charge of five states. My maternal grandfather's family is the richest in the world. Only I can solve his problem."
Upon learning of Ji Yao's identity, Qiao Xi's eyes flickered slightly, quite provocatively, "So what?"
Ji Yao's heart turned cruel, and she stabbed Qiao Xi's throat with the dagger, "Then you will die."
She has admired Su Heting for a long time, and her father also wanted her to marry Su Heting, but Qiao Xi got there first. How could she be willing to accept this?
Ji Yao did not wait for Qiao Xi's blood to gush out, but instead felt a sharp pain in her wrist. The dagger she was holding fell into Qiao Xi's hand and was pressed against her heart.
Bixiang, who came rushing over after hearing the noise, saw Qiao Xi showing off her skills, her face suddenly darkened, and she cast a warning look at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi stared at Ji Yao, her dark eyes as deep as an unfathomable pool.
Ji Yao felt a strange fear for a moment, and a chill rose unconsciously from her tailbone.
But she quickly calmed down, "So what if you took the knife? Su Heting has to be polite to me, how dare you hurt me..."
Screams rang out.
The dagger pierced Ji Yao's shoulder.
Ji Yao couldn't believe it. "How dare you hurt me? Do you believe that Su Heting will kill you without my father doing anything..."
Qiao Xi interrupted her in a leisurely voice, "If you do it again, the dagger will gouge out your heart."
The murderous intent in her eyes frightened Ji Yao.
She was so scared that she didn't dare to move anymore and could only let out earth-shattering screams to attract help.
Somewhat funny.
Qiao Xi ignored Bixiang's warning look, pulled out the dagger, and slowly wiped the blood that splashed on his hands.
The Ji family appears to be a separatist family with its own army, but in fact they are the emperor's men.
In the previous life, it was the Ji family and her who worked together to erode the other vassal forces.
When Ji Yao appeared here today, Qiao Xi knew that the emperor wanted to use the marriage between Ji Yao and Su Heting to eliminate Su Heting.
She would not let the emperor have his way.
"Brother Su, save me!"
The person Ji Yao was waiting for finally arrived, and she staggered towards Su Heting.
Qiao Xiyi looked at the tall figure striding towards him.
The reason why he chose to cooperate with Su Heting was not only because they had a common enemy, but also because Su Heting cared about the people.
Qiao Xi wanted revenge, but didn't want to put the people in danger.
But if northern Xinjiang falls into the hands of the Ji family, the people will certainly have no good days.
"Brother Su, I just wanted to see what your future wife looks like. Who would have thought she would be so vicious and want to kill me..."
Ji Yao fell into Su Heting's arms as if fainting from the pain.
Su Heting tilted his body and Ji Yao fell into the arms of the guard.
Ji Yao had no idea about this. She was about to cry and was about to continue complaining when she heard Su Heting ask, "Do you have an explanation?"
Obviously, this question was not directed at Ji Yao.
Qiao Xi raised the corner of her lips slightly, "Are you scared?
She said you need to rely on the Ji family, and I, Qiao Xi, will not marry a coward. "
Injuring Ji Yao is to force Su Heting to show up, they need to talk.
It was also to test Su Heting's attitude towards the Ji family, to see if he had the determination to confront or even annex the Ji family.
She needs a strong partner. If he is someone controlled by the Ren Ji family, she can only choose someone else.
Su Heting looked at Qiao Xi with interest for a while, then held her in his arms, took the dagger from her, and chuckled, "What a coincidence, I don't like to be a coward either."
He ordered the guards, "Take Miss Ji to see a doctor and send a message to General Ji. His daughter attempted to murder my princess, and the princess was frightened. I hope he can give me an explanation.
I'll also send a message to her maternal grandparents. Perhaps they'll be willing to trade food for me. Until then, Miss Ji will stay in northern Xinjiang as a guest."
"Brother Su, are you crazy?"
Ji Yao couldn't believe that Su Heting dared to take her hostage.
"You will regret this."
Su Heting ignored her.
"You have been disowned by the imperial court. If you offend my Ji family again, you will be doomed..."
Ji Yao cursed angrily, but was quickly knocked unconscious by the guards.
Su Heting's actions also made Qiao Xi slightly stunned.
The coldness on her chin brought her back to her senses.
The dagger was against her delicate chin. Su Heting restrained his smile, and there was a storm in his eyes. "Don't let me hear the word 'not marry' again. It's not up to you whether to marry or not."
He changed the contract without permission, and before Qiao Xi could settle the score with him, he was already acting arrogantly. Qiao Xi would not tolerate him.
"But I can decide whether you marry while standing or marry in the afterlife while lying down."
Qiao Xi was not afraid at all. He raised his head with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.
With a slight sound, a small knife popped out from the bracelet on her wrist and pressed against his artery. "Why did you marry me?"
