The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital
Chapter 253 Showing Affection in the Golden Palace
"Regent."
Su Jixue was now unwilling to even call him by his name, but instead called him by his identity. She looked at Zong Kui with disdain.
"You should know that things must be done one at a time. First, settle all the previously agreed-upon matters. Only then will the Regent be qualified to discuss the next step with me."
Su Jixue did not respond to Zong Kui's words.
The War King winked at Bai Shiwu, and Bai Shiwu retreated silently.
Zong Kui's face darkened. He raised his eyes and glared coldly at the courtiers of Dongchu. Under such circumstances, he thought that Su Jixue would definitely take the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price.
But, it didn’t happen.
Zong Kui took another deep breath and calmed himself down quickly. How could he forget that Su Jixue held a grudge?
So he definitely won't be let off so easily.
even--
Zong Kui looked at Su Jixue's eyes, which were very indifferent at the moment, and knew that if given the chance, Su Jixue would definitely kill him at all costs.
The reason she didn't take action now was definitely not because she was concerned about Dong Chu.
Su Jixue has no feelings for Nanqing, let alone Dongchu, which was not her hometown originally.
She doesn't care.
Zong Kui turned his gaze to the War King. The War King's narrow and deep icy eyes were unfathomable, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
In fact, Zong Kui couldn't determine the attitude of the King of Zhan. You know, the former Queen of Dongchu was not the biological mother of the King of Zhan, and the former Emperor of Dongchu was not kind to the King of Zhan either.
Therefore, it is really hard to say how much the War King cares about Dong Chu.
What's more, the court officials and royal family of Dongchu had stabbed him in the back.
"Emperor Ming, the terms that Beisu discussed with your country just now--" Zongkui turned his gaze to the King of Dongchu sitting on the dragon throne, leaning straight on the back of the chair, showing the dignity and prestige of the Regent of Nanqing.
The deliberately prolonged ending of his tone drew an inquiring glance from Emperor Ming, and the courtiers of Dongchu also pricked up their ears.
After all, Zong Kui is the one whose words are truly law in Nanqing.
So if he objects, we may have to renegotiate the contract.
Moreover, Zong Kui had just run into a snag with Su Jixue, so who knows if he would take the opportunity to make things difficult for her on this matter.
"I have no objection. Let your country's Minister of Rites draw up the agreement." Zong Kui glanced at Lord Qin and said lightly.
"Your Highness!" Bei Su was shocked. He asked the people of Dong Chu to draft an agreement, and the words on the jump were definitely not favorable to Nan Qing.
"Hurry up and make the contract. I still need to negotiate terms with Miss Su." Zong Kui glanced at Su Jixue. Although Ji Xue had changed her appearance, her personality remained unchanged.
If the treaty cannot be concluded quickly, Su Jixue will definitely not continue to negotiate with him.
Therefore, now Zongkui directly lets Dongchu decide.
Lord Qin's eyes lit up. He had not expected that the young Regent would actually agree to let Dong Chu make the decision directly.
In fact, he had already thought about the contract when he was arguing with Beisu just now. He was originally a top scholar and was not an incompetent person.
Immediately, Lord Qin asked Emperor Ming for instructions and began to write with great speed.
At this moment, Bai Shiwu, who had just left at some point, pushed a wooden wheelchair over. Zhan Wang, who had been staying by Su Jixue's side, finally sat back in the wheelchair.
Suddenly, the two wheelchairs were facing each other in the aisle in the center of the Golden Palace, and Su Jixue looked at King Zhan's face with some worry, and then helped him take his pulse.
"I'll help you detoxify when we get back." Su Jixue said in a low voice.
The poison in the War King's body is very powerful. In fact, it is not weaker than the poison in Zong Kui's body. Now after all this trouble, the poison in the War King's body has actually relapsed.
Although others could not hear these words, Zong Kui heard them clearly.
The poison in Zong Kui's body has not been cured yet, and he doesn't know how Su Jixue will make things difficult for him in the future. But now, Zhan Wang can feel Su Jixue's care for him without any effort.
My heart felt like it was being gnawed by countless ants, and it was extremely painful.
"No rush." The War King looked at Su Jixue gently. He had already given up all hope of curing the poison in his body.
Originally, the War King was overdrawing himself.
He finally realized that everything he did after coming to Dongchu would be meaningless without Ji Xue.
However, fate took a turn for the better.
Now as long as Su Jixue is by his side, it makes no difference whether the poison is cured early or late.
"You have just recovered, take care of yourself first." The War King continued, looking at Su Jixue's pale face with some concern.
There was something wrong with her expression.
Prince Zhan suddenly thought of Su Jixue who was sure that Zongkui was in the palace, and Su Jixue was in the Queen Mother's palace, so how did she know that?
He quickly reached out and grabbed Su Jixue's wrist, intending to take her pulse, but he didn't expect to see the bloody mark on her wrist.
The War King frowned slightly. She must have lost her soul again: "Jixue!"
The War King's voice couldn't help but become heavier.
Su Jixue looked at Zhan Wang. When Zhan Wang raised his eyes, there seemed to be a storm gathering, which made her feel a little puzzled. However, when she saw the worry in Zhan Wang's eyes, she suddenly realized that Zhan Wang might have guessed what she had done.
Su Jixue felt a little guilty for a rare moment. She grabbed the War King's hand and shook it gently: "Look, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong."
It's just a moment of separation, it's okay.
"Don't do that next time." Zhan Wang was not easily coaxed by her. He placed his fingers on Su Jixue's wrist pulse, and his face suddenly darkened: "Is this what you mean by 'it's okay'?!"
You should know that Su Jixue's pulse was very weak at this time, not at all as strong as she appeared.
"Actually, this is because I was exhausted when I was being chased by Nanny Jiang." Su Jixue actually used all her strength when she was trying to escape from Nanny Jiang.
You have to know that Nanny Jiang is not a good person. She is the successor of the former priest of the spirit race. If she was a little weaker at that time, she might have really died.
After all, it was a vulture.
In order to really calculate Nanny Jiang, Su Jixue was actually using herself as a bet.
The fingers of the War King pressing on Su Jixue's wrist pulse sank, and the fingers holding Su Jixue's wrist pulse tightened: "Su Jixue."
The War King's voice grew colder.
Su Jixue immediately smiled brightly and said coquettishly, "Okay, I get it. I won't do it again."
She looked at the War King innocently and assured him.
Bai Shiwu was right next to the two of them, looking back at everyone who was secretly glancing at him from the Golden Throne Hall, blocking their gazes.
He looked as if the two people behind him were supposed to be like this.
Zong Kui looked at this scene from afar, and after a violent coughing fit, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness!" Bei Su looked at Zong Kui worriedly and glared at Su Jixue with hatred. How could a woman from Dong Chu be as cold-blooded and ruthless as Ji Xue?
but--
Bei Su looked at Su Jixue and the War King, who were acting as if nothing had happened to them. He then glanced at Zong Kui's reaction. Then, remembering how familiar Su Jixue looked to him, he asked in disbelief, "Your Highness, could Su Jixue be—"
Bei Su realized where he was at the moment and suddenly stopped talking, but the murderous aura on his body suddenly rose to the sky.
