Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 275: Betrayal and Lies

Zhou Xian leaned softly on the bed, a strand of black hair was stained by her saliva at the corner of her mouth, and the cloud on her head had already dispersed. She thought of the gaffe just now, she didn't know what she was doing at the time, and she felt ashamed immediately.

Immediately, her mother's teachings and the ugliness of those promiscuous and lowly women described by her mother appeared in her mind, and she wished to find a crack in the ground for a while.

Guo Shao's voice said: "I see you are nervous, so I want to appease you first, I haven't done anything to you yet..."

"Stop talking." Zhou Xian said with a blushing face.

Guo Shaodao: "Since it's all like this..."

Zhou Xian turned her head and glanced at Guo Shao, her face turned even redder. She hastily took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his face, and when she wiped his lips, her hands trembled: "How could you... treat me like that?"

Guo Shao's face suddenly became very ugly: "I couldn't hold back because of pity for a while, so don't tell it, this is our secret."

Zhou Xian complained: "Who should I talk to?"

"Can I do the next thing?" Guo Shao asked hurriedly.

Zhou Xian sighed quietly, thinking that he had already lost his virtue, so naturally he had to be satisfied. Anyway, it's a matter of the man's work for a while, and if he succeeds, he won't pester him anymore.

... After an unknown amount of time, the first crowing of a rooster was heard from a distance outside. Zhou Xian lay sideways on the couch, sweating profusely as if he was seriously ill, his face was also extremely pale, and he was panting weakly. She slightly opened her dull eyes and saw that there were two rows of imprints on the sandalwood pillow, and the surroundings were in a mess. I just feel that the soul has been emptied.

Zhou Xian said quietly: "It's already dawn, is General Guo dying? But my bones are all falling apart."

Guo Shao then gave up, got up and took the quilt to cover her body, Zhou Xian's body warmed up, and his heart fluctuated slightly. Soon, she heard the sound of Xixi getting dressed, and she asked, "You promised me..."

"I will do my best." Guo Shao said.

After hearing this, Zhou Xian felt at ease, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

Later, someone pushed him awake. Zhou Xian opened his eyes and saw Chen Jiali's face. Zhou Xian slowly came back to his senses, hugged the quilt and sat up hastily, seeing that the room was very tidy, she let out a long breath, and asked calmly, "Cousin has cleaned up the house?"

Chen Jiali shook her head and said, "I just came in to wake you up. It's already noon, and my husband should be back in the afternoon. You can't fall asleep like this again."

"You made me suffer." Zhou Xian frowned. For a moment, I felt as if I had a dream. When I turned my head to look, the imprint on the pillow was still there, and I sat there in a daze for a while.

Chen Jiali put her hand into the quilt and touched it, and said, "Get up quickly, I'll ask someone to change the blanket... General Guo promised you?"

"Hmm." Zhou Xian lowered his head and pondered for a while, Chen Jiali's plot actually didn't succeed, and actually helped her instead; if it wasn't so, maybe the imperial court would really covet Li Hongji's tribute property.

But Chen Jiali obviously has no good intentions!

No matter what, Zhou Xian didn't dare to offend her, so he could only say kindly: "Cousin must keep it a secret for me, if you secretly tell my husband behind my back, I will hate you for the rest of my life."

"Sister, how could the things I arranged hurt you?" Chen Jiali said kindly.

Zhou Xian said coldly: "You swear."

Chen Jiali was startled, she seemed a little guilty, but she swore as she said.

Zhou Xian got up and tidied up, but felt back pain, legs trembling, and his body seemed to be exhausted. She sat on the stool and said, "Cousin, please ask your servant to boil some water, I want to take a bath and change my clothes."

Chen Jiali went out as she said.

Zhou Xian sat in front of the dressing table, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and stretched out his jade hand to support his forehead, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She had figured out what she should do beforehand and was prepared, but she never expected this to happen. Overnight, Zhou Xian's knowledge was completely overturned, and she experienced an unprecedented feeling for the first time. It turned out that the matter was not endured with disgust.

What mother said was right, a lewd woman really forgets herself, and doesn't care about any shame. Zhou Xian originally thought that he was just being insulted, but the price was far more than that.

Zhou Xian looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and said silently: I will forget after a while, how can I care about a person who has only met once?

At this moment, Chen Jiali came in in a hurry and urged, "Don't take a bath! Hurry up and change your clothes and comb your hair. You are back from Chaoli, and you are on your way!"

"Didn't you just come back in the afternoon?" Zhou Xian quickly stopped his thoughts and faced the urgent need.

Chen Jiali said: "I don't know how to come back early. It stands to reason that he will go to meet a minister in the afternoon."

Zhou Xian didn't care about anything, first changed into a skirt, and then hurriedly dressed in front of the bronze mirror. Her face was a little pale, she dabbed a little gouache on purpose, and then painted her lips with light red rouge.

Carefully inspecting all parts of her body, only her eyes were tired, and she covered up the rest.

Not long after, I saw Li Yu as expected.

"I met Zan Jurun, the envoy of the Hakka province yesterday, and there was a banquet in the evening, so I sent someone back to inform me in the evening. But today, Prime Minister Wang Pu didn't see me." Li Yu looked helpless.

He glanced at Zhou Xian, and immediately looked him up and down. Zhou Xian thought to himself that the guest envoy doesn't have much real power at all, so of course he is polite to everyone. She said calmly: "Why is my husband looking at me like this, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, it's a bit strange." Li Yu said casually.

Zhou Xian said: "Last night you stayed away all night, I was worried about you and didn't sleep well."

Li Yu suddenly said: "No wonder I see you are very tired." Then he continued: "Li Hongji's tricks are too vicious and insidious! The Zhou Dynasty is short of money. Once he wrote the letter, the result is unpredictable..."

Seeing this, Zhou Xian heaved a sigh of relief, his heart "thumped", and he didn't listen to what Li Yu was saying after that. She just felt very uncomfortable in her body, her legs in the skirt were tightly closed, and all she could think about was taking a bath.

At this time Li Yu suddenly shouted: "E Huang!"

Zhou Xian trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong?"

"What did I just say?" Li Yu frowned.

Zhou Xiandao: "You said that Li Hongji wrote a letter to pay tribute. I'm helping my husband find a way."

Li Yu held her hand and said, "You won't leave me to find another way out? Then Li Hongji has always been greedy for your beauty."

"Husband, don't you understand my heart?" Zhou Xian said, "How much have I paid for you..."

When she said this, she felt extremely ashamed... betrayed her husband, and lied to him! Countless vows of mountain alliance came to my heart, Zhou Xian was about to cry, he held Li Yu's hand with both hands and choked up: "It would be nice if we died together, we don't have to worry so much."

Li Yu said: "I can't give up so easily! When I think of Li Hongji's little pride, I feel unwilling!"
