get married first, fall in love later

When Ouyang Xi was first brought into this room, she didn't think there was anything wrong. She just thought that after the empress called her into the palace, she had other things to deal with temporarily, so she was told to wait here for a while.

But as soon as his butt touched the stool, the people in the room retreated in a hurry, and then there was a "click" sound of locking the lock, and there was no more movement.

Ouyang Xi was in a daze for a moment, and then realized that he was "imprisoned".

The couple have the same virtues, and they all seized the opportunity to kill her rival in love.This was the most reasonable explanation she could think of right away.Let's not care about right or wrong for now, anyway, if you still can't see that the empress is a traitor, then you will really become a complete fool.

Ouyang Xi sat firmly on the stool, first carefully thinking about the possibility of being rescued.

Firstly, Qian Xiaobao may not know the real purpose of her being invited by the Queen. Even if he knew, he would not know if he would still be alive when they figured out a way to rescue her; secondly, the palace is so big, The twists and turns of the terrain are also extremely complicated. Fortunately, she has a good brain, and she can still vaguely remember the way when she closed her eyes and tried hard to figure it out. But Qian Xiaobao and the others knew nothing about it, so they had to It won't be that easy anymore.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ouyang Xi finally came to a conclusion: relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, you still have to save yourself!

Ouyang Xi didn't hesitate anymore, got up and walked along the house to find a way out.But at this moment, in another hall a few palace walls away from her, Qian Xiaobao bowed respectfully to the person sitting firmly in front of him: "Cao Min pays homage to the empress."

With her usual gentle smile on her face, Wang Wanqing got up and walked to stand in front of Qian Xiaobao. She bent down to help her up and said, "How many times have I told you that Xiaobao doesn't need to do this big gift."

After speaking, she led people to sit down at the table and waved away all the servants in the house. She personally filled a cup of tea for Qian Xiaobao and handed it to Qian Xiaobao. She pretended to be casual and asked: "Why did Xiaobao enter so late Is the palace coming?"

Qian Xiaobao was concerned about the safety of Ouyang Xi, so he didn't beat around the bush right now, and replied directly: "I heard that my wife was summoned into the palace by the empress. Seeing that it was getting late, the grass people came here to pick her up."

"There is such a thing." Wang Wanqing did not hide it, picked up the teacup and took a sip and said: "Since we met last time, Xi'er and I have hit it off very much, no, this one is not paying attention today I dragged her to talk until this hour, I thought you would come over tomorrow, so I sent someone to help her arrange a room to rest."

"Thank you, ma'am. But since the grass people have come, I won't bother you. I'll trouble you to send someone to bring Xi'er, so we'll leave first."

Wang Wanqing looked at her with a smile, and her eyes were full of longing for the person in front of her: "What are you talking about, you won't come back tonight, so I will spend a night with Sister Wanqing in this palace. how?"

Although it was a questioning tone, how could Qian Xiaobao not see the firmness in her expression.Fortunately, she didn't expect Wang Wanqing to be easily moved by her few words, and then released Ouyang Xi, but she just pestered her to buy some time for Wuying and the others.

At the same time, Qian Er, Qian San and Qian Si had secretly searched for about a cup of tea in their respective areas, but found nothing.And the target they were searching for finally gave up after digging through the bluestone slabs on the ground one by one, and sat back at the table without moving.

Ouyang Xi picked up the teapot and filled the teacup on the table, then passed it to his lips and drank it down, wiped the corner of his mouth and muttered: "Such a big room doesn't even have a secret passage, and it is said to be the inner garden of the palace. Why didn't you arrange even this defensive measure?"

After resting for a while, she finally went to the window and secretly poked a hole to look out: there are two doors, one next to each of the three windows, and there are two or three patrolling in the yard.

If it was any of Qian San and the others who were being imprisoned now, even if it was just Qing Xiao with mediocre martial arts, he might be able to escape easily.But now the one facing this situation is herself who doesn't even know a little bit of kung fu, let alone nearly ten, even if there is only one, she can't beat it.

Ouyang Xi paced around impatiently: If you can't force it, it seems that you can only outsmart him, but what method should you think of to take the opportunity to escape?

She glanced around the room inadvertently, and suddenly fixed on the oil lamp with a small flame not far away.Yes, set fire to the house!At that time, they will definitely rush to put out the fire. Wouldn't it be easy for them to sneak into the crowd and escape?

Ouyang Xi almost wanted to praise his wonderful idea, so he walked to the table in two or three steps, took off the lampshade and put it aside, picked up the oil lamp and thought about it for a long time, then gritted his teeth and threw it towards the flammable window.

Wang Wanqing stared at Qian Xiaobao with piercing eyes, and asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "It's just staying with me in this palace for two days, Xiaobao still needs to think about it for so long?"

Qian Xiaobao smiled and said nothing, picked up the teacup and moistened his lips symbolically.

Seeing this, Wang Wanqing said in a joking tone, "Xi'er is in my hands now, so Xiaobao doesn't care about it?"

Qian Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are joking, I am very relieved that Xi'er is with you."

After speaking, he turned to Wang Wanqing and looked straight into her eyes full of deep meaning.The two looked at each other silently for a while, and it was Wang Wanqing who broke the tension in the air with a "puchi" smile: "What I said just now is just a joke, don't take it seriously. But," she changed the subject, He deliberately said: "In terms of the friendship that day, I really didn't expect that one day I would need to use another woman to keep you."

These words were light, but it was rare for Qian Xiaobao to feel some sourness. A thought flashed through her mind, and although she was not sure yet, she still frowned indistinctly.

Although the Queen's bedroom was brightly lit in the deep night, the bright yellow lights still created a soft and warm atmosphere.Facing the person he had been thinking about for so many years, and at such a moment when he was sure of winning, Wang Wanqing suddenly felt an urge to tell everything.

"Xiaobao..." She looked at her passionately and said slowly, "I've always liked you so much..."

This answer was unexpected but expected, Qian Xiaobao just didn't expect that she would blurt it out at this moment.

"Young lady... You're joking..." Qian Xiaobao quickly pulled out the hands that she didn't know when she was holding, got up and left the seat without a trace, and took a step back to open the distance between the two that could be seen by breathing.

Wang Wanqing's face was full of disappointment, but she still did not give up and said: "With your intelligence, there is no reason why you can't see it. Xiaobao, you have always known it in your heart, right? Since that year before You saved me when I was in the Prince's Mansion..."

"Mother..." Qian Xiaobao interrupted her.Although the hero saves the beauty is an old-fashioned plot, it seems that no matter what time it is, it can create a vague goodwill among people who are not familiar with it.

"You still want to lie to me?" Wang Wanqing smiled softly at her. The good memories can always make people smile like a flower when they think of it at the first time: "Also say that it was Huai Jin who rescued me back then, and you just served him Is it just to save me from a coma?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across Qian Xiaobao's face: "How do you..."

"Are you curious? Do you want to know how I know?" Wang Wanqing stared at her for a moment, then looked away with a trace of reluctance, but suddenly changed the subject: "Xiaobao, although you are smart, you have never been used to these intrigues life."

"Why do you think the former prince suddenly had the courage to kidnap me and threaten Huaijin? If it weren't for the king's aide that I placed next to him, he might not have made dangerous moves, and in the end he was abolished by the first emperor because of this. And reduced to civilians in one fell swoop.”

Wang staff?This person, Qian Xiaobao, still has some vague impressions. He once advised the former prince and completed several errands that were appreciated by the late emperor, so he gained the trust of the former prince.Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Wang Wanqing's person...

"Since this matter was planned by me, of course no one knows the details better than me, but I thought that the person who came to rescue must be my husband Mu Huaijin, but I never thought that he was just because he wanted to join an important minister who was being wooed. birthday banquet...but fortunately, I still have you..."

Having said this, Qian Xiaobao suddenly frowned and asked: "Since you have calculated in advance that it is Huai Jin who is going to save you, why do you arrange for someone to use a hidden weapon that has been poisoned in secret? Don't you worry that he will die because of this?" Killed?"

Wang Wanqing replied with a determined face: "Since I arranged the person, I can't cure the poison? But if I didn't take such a cruel hand, how could the late emperor depose the prince because his beloved son almost endangered his life? But, I don't know what to do." Wan Suan never thought that the injured person was you... but fortunately, under the strong instigation of Huaijin's faction in the court, the late emperor's actions still met my expectations."

Unbelievable was written on Qian Xiaobao's face: the loving couples in everyone's eyes were so easy to count each other's lives as a child's play in private, just for the cold supremacy above the palace.

But I, just because of a temporary hit, treated them as my best friends sincerely, even if I lost my life, I didn't waver in the slightest.It's just that the sincerity at that time, now I think it's so ridiculous.Qian Xiaobao really didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, disappointed or melancholy when he knew the truth at this moment.

Wang Wanqing didn't notice the change in the mood of the person in front of her at the moment, she stared at her affectionately and said, "Xiaobao, I never thought that you would risk your life to save me without asking the reason. I believe that any woman would be moved by this true feeling, even It's... tempting..."

Qian Xiaobao was not moved by the tenderness and affection in her words, and she didn't even hear what the other party said clearly at the moment. A doubt grew in her heart, and she finally couldn't help asking: "But after the incident, when we returned The doctor of the royal residence did not diagnose me as being poisoned, could it be that you had already woken up in the ruined temple and fed me the antidote secretly, and then continued to lie aside and pretend to be unconscious when I woke up?"

Originally, she thought it was because her body that was infested with herbs from urine was really invulnerable to all poisons, that she could resolve the poison on her own while she was in a coma, but now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems that this is not the case at all.

"That's right," Wang Wanqing nodded, "I not only fed you the antidote, but also checked the wound on your chest..."

Qian Xiaobao was startled: "So you knew me at that time..."

"I know, you are a woman!"

Wang Wanqing said these words, and then raised her head again to look at Qian Xiaobao who was full of disbelief in front of her.
