Chapter 314 You Always Compete with Me
Xiao Zhengdu kept Li Huaiqing's jade pendant, waiting for an opportunity to humiliate him.
But I didn't expect that the person I met first was not Li Huaiqing.
One day they went to visit Xiao Zhengze as usual. After Lou Xiao was called away by the Queen,
Xiao Zhengdu stayed because of Xiao Zhengze's request.
When Lou Xiao was not around, Xiao Zhengze was in a bad mood.
He sat on the bed looking somewhat dejected, with a jade bowl in his hand containing a strange-smelling medicine which he stirred with a spoon, showing no intention of drinking it at all.
Xiao Zhengdu was in high spirits at the time, so his attitude towards him naturally became much better.
"It's not hot anymore. Good medicine tastes bitter. If it gets cold, it will lose its efficacy."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengze threw the medicine bowl to the ground with a wooden face. It shattered at Xiao Zhengdu's feet with a "pop".
"What are you doing? These are all made from top-quality medicinal herbs. Xiaoxiao spent so much effort to call someone to the capital to treat you. How can you waste them?"
Xiao Zhengdu waved to the servant to clean up the place and bring over another bowl of medicine.
He stood up and said, "I have something to do. If you have nothing to say, I won't disturb your rest."
Xiao Zhengze then raised his eyelids and ordered the servants who were bowing their heads, "Everyone, step back."
Thus, there were only two brothers left in the hall.
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Zhengdu once again showed his tolerance, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Zhengze tapped his chest, "Here."
Xiao Zhengdu turned around and was about to call the imperial physician, but was stopped by a sentence.
"I am very unhappy that you stay at her house every night."
It turned out to be the case.
Xiao Zhengdu laughed and said, "Did Ji Heng tell you? You don't do anything serious, but keep an eye on other people's whereabouts every day. You are really eating the emperor's food in vain."
Seeing that he didn't refute, Xiao Zhengze became even more unhappy.
"How could she be interested in you? You have the blood of a foreign race and you only know how to steal other people's things."
Xiao Zhengdu hated it most when Xiao Zhengze mentioned his alien blood from time to time. He said casually,
"Maybe it's because I'm in good health."
"That's right." Xiao Zhengze sneered, "At her age, she can't live without someone in her room. Every girl in the capital city has a few servants to help her sleep.
But on the wedding day, they will all have to be sold off, and they are not presentable after all."
Xiao Zhengdu didn't bother with this kid. No matter how many people were around Lou Xiao, he was still the only one.
How can someone who has tasted the sweetness care about other people’s sour words?
"No matter what he is, his identity is fake, but every night with her is real."
Xiao Zhengdu acted as if he didn't understand, which successfully made Xiao Zhengze furious.
He looked around for something that would be handy, but all he could find was the porcelain on the bedside table, so he picked it up and threw it at Xiao Zhengdu.
Unexpectedly, he didn't have enough strength and fell to the ground before he reached Xiao Zhengdu.
This scene made Xiao Zhengze even angrier. His face flushed and he shouted with rapid breathing,
"Shameless! Xiao Zhengdu! He is indeed of alien blood!
Why do you have to snatch it from me! It’s not enough that you snatched my sister, you also want to snatch her! You have no interest in her at all, you don’t even know what kind of person she is! "
This was not the first time Xiao Zhengdu had heard such words. He was already tired of hearing them.
It’s just that in the past he would deliberately make him angry, but now looking at his thin appearance, Xiao Zhengdu doesn’t want to dwell on these old topics with him anymore.
"How do you know I have no interest in her? Xiao Zhengze, this is the last time I'm telling you that I never deliberately tried to snatch anything from you."
There are many things that cannot be obtained by stealing.
Xiao Zhengze naturally didn't believe it, "You and her won't have any future, she won't marry you."
As he spoke, his breath weakened, his voice so low that only he could hear it, "She won't marry anyone."
In this world, no one knows Lou Xiao better than him.
Xiao Zhengdu thought he was just throwing a tantrum again and told him his true thoughts.
"Some things don't necessarily require results. I just seek happiness at the moment and don't consider anything else."
If one day she got tired of him and fell in love with someone else, he would not stop her.
In this world, no one will stay with anyone forever.
Xiao Zhengze didn't expect Xiao Zhengdu to think like this, he understood it all.
"That's why I said you don't really care about her. How can someone not care about the person they like and be with someone else?"
But he, Xiao Zhengze, couldn't do it.
This is the most painful part for him. He knows that there will be no result with her, but he still wants to monopolize her.
Although Xiao Zhengdu is annoying, why would Lou Xiao agree to be with him?
"You can go, as long as it's not Li Huaiqing..."
Xiao Zhengze had to comfort himself that he still had a chance to be with Xiao Zhengdu, and the fact that Xiaoxiao still came to see him every day was proof of that.
------
When Lou Xiao arrived outside the study, he ran into Grand Tutor Peng coming out.
He saw her raise one corner of her mouth, smiling with a fake smile, "Lord Zhenguogong, I have heard a lot about you."
Lou Xiao didn't understand why he was somewhat hostile towards her, so she nodded in a cold manner, and under the guidance of Ling Yu's servant, she met Her Majesty the Queen again.
She is always busy.
Lou Xiao's footsteps were as light as a cat's. It was not until Ling Yu's servant reminded her that the empress realized she was here.
He touched the bench with the tip of his pen and said, "Sit."
Then she buried herself in countless memorials.
Lou Xiao waited quietly. After what happened with Nan Zi, she was filled with mixed emotions.
In fact, she had many opportunities to ask His Majesty whether Senior Sister knew that she had a Gu in her body.
But she could never open her mouth.
After returning to the capital, it seemed that the poison had not recurred, so Lou Xiao began to hope that she could find another way to cure the poison.
Or figure out what's going on with you.
No need to ask senior sister.
She thought a lot here, and the queen asked without raising her head,
"Xiaoxiao has been looking at me, do you have anything to say?"
Lou Xiao said with a smile, "I want you to take care of your health and have a good rest. Some things can be left to the people below. Why do you have to work so hard?"
This time the Queen raised her eyes and looked at her. "You went to Nanzi, but you came back so smooth-talking. Did the future high priest of Nanzi teach you this?"
The Queen also knew that Anilan had a crush on Xiao Zhengdu.
"The people of Anilan are actually quite good. This is the custom in Nanzi. No one there has taught them etiquette. We still need you to worry about it, Senior Sister."
Only after education will Nanzi truly become a part of the Central Plains dynasty.
"Then in my opinion, which of my brothers is suitable for her marriage? King Youshan? King Hanhai?"
Lou Xiao's heart skipped a beat and she thought no matter what she said, it would be inappropriate.
Nanzi does not value marriage, and since she is the future high priestess, one day she will have to give up everything and devote her life to the land of Nanzi.
Just like her master.
"High Priest Nanzi has always been single, so I'm afraid granting him a marriage would only backfire."
Lou Xiao said, "And are King Youshan and King Hanhai willing?"
