A moment later, he sighed, crossed his arms, and leaned back lazily in his seat, but he did not show much fear."Imperial Sister-in-law, you schemed against this king like this. If this king obediently gives in, it will really lose face. How about we make a bet?!”
"Bet?"
Shen Liangchen's brows were tightly knitted and he looked at Xiao Ce with vigilance.
In this world, the more harmless a person was, the more difficult it was to deal with them.
This was what she had experienced deeply from her so-called biological father!
She had a premonition that the bet Xiao Ce made with her was definitely not a good bet!
"Half a year!"
Xiao Ce gave Shen Liangchen a charming smile, straightened his body, and looked at Shen Liangchen with sparkling eyes,""This king will send you to my brother as my brother. As long as you don't let him find out your true identity within half a year, this king will arrange for you to leave the palace and won't make things difficult for you anymore!”
The heart of a ruler was always the hardest to fathom.
She understood better than anyone else the principle of accompanying the king as if accompanying a tiger.
Not to mention that Xiao Zhan was a ferocious tiger…
Not to mention staying by Xiao Zhan's side for half a year, even half a month or half a day was an unimaginable torment for her!
Xiao Ce was the one who was poisoned, and she was the one who had the antidote. Therefore, she…rejected this bet!
"If that's the case…"
Xiao Ce's charming smile was still hanging in the corner of his eyes. He tapped his fingers on the table and said indifferently,""Then this king will send you back to Earth Peace Palace!”
Shen Liangchen glared at Xiao Ce and his eyes darkened,""Prince Xuan, have you forgotten that you are still poisoned by me?”
"This King didn't forget!"
Xiao Ce suddenly stood up and took two or three steps forward. He held the chair handle beside Shen Liangchen with both hands and said in a low and devilish voice,""If not, do you think this king will allow you to bargain with this king here?”
Shen Liangchen raised his head slightly and stared at his devilish face that was inches away from him. He tried his best to smile as brightly as a flower,""Since that's the case, then your highness, don't bargain with me. Just let me out of the palace and I'll help you cure the poison.”
"In your dreams!"
Xiao Ce's voice was low and gentle, with a strong unruly and roguish air, just like a bad man's wanton appearance. He raised his eyebrows high and looked down at her,"A clay man still has some anger. You dared to poison this king and caused this king to capsize in a ditch. If this king obediently let you go, wouldn't it be too cowardly?”
Xiao Ce finally let go of his hand and stood up. Although he said he was afraid, he took three steps back lazily and said to Shen Liangchen casually,""If you want to fight to the death, you can just kill yourself. Why are you still trying to escape from the marriage?”
“……”
Shen Liangchen was speechless!
Now, whether she wanted to or not, she had to make this bet!
After pondering for a moment, she couldn't help but smile mockingly. She lowered her eyes and sighed softly. She raised her eyebrows and met Xiao Ce's eyes." Half a year won't do. It's too long!"
He had to gamble.
Then, under the premise of a bet, they could at least talk about something else!
"If half a year doesn't work…then four months!”
Shen Liangchen's words were a compromise. Xiao Ce naturally took a step back as well. He changed his lazy attitude and said to Shen Liangchen seriously,"This is my residence in the palace. You can stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will change your appearance and bring you to Qiande Palace to see my royal brother!”
Shen Liangchen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Ce with a smile,""How can I believe that your highness will let me go after four months?”
Xiao Ce's eyes sparkled, and his smile was extremely charming."If you don't believe me, you can choose to let me send you back to Earth Peace Palace!”
Bi Yun understood what he meant and quickly followed Shen Liangchen into the inner hall.
Only when the two of them disappeared from his sight did Xiao Ce's handsome brows slightly furrow, and his eyes were as deep as water!
On the night of the wedding, the Empress knocked out the Emperor and escaped. This was a huge matter. Especially when this empress was Princess Liangchen from the Wu Kingdom!
His royal brother, who had achieved success at a young age, had always been calm and cold. Now that he had lost his boat in the gutter, he was probably furious! Who knew if he would suffer internal injuries from this.
He should have sent Shen Liangchen back immediately.
However, for some reason, his heart was moved by compassion!
And now, he was poisoned!
Also…after seeing Shen Liangchen's changeable personality, he had a little hope that this unique princess of Wu could have a different spark with his cold-hearted brother.
Therefore, he gave her half a year.
But she only wanted four months!
Four months, then!
As for four months later…it would depend on whether his royal brother would be attracted to her during this period. If his royal brother had the heart, she would be the true Empress of the Wei Kingdom regardless of whether she was willing or not. As for her childhood sweetheart who could make her risk escaping the marriage…it was not something he should worry about!
What did he say?
Err…Whose wife was it? Who was the one worrying!
*
The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Bi Yun had already woken up Chen Liangchen. After washing up and having breakfast, Xiao Ce arrived as promised!
Early in the morning, Bi Yun helped Shen Liangchen change into new clothes.
At this moment, she was no longer wearing the pink palace maid's dress from yesterday. Instead, she was wearing a light muslin dress. It was light and plain, embroidered with blooming lilies. Not only was it particularly elegant, but it also outlined her exquisite and delicate body almost perfectly.
Xiao Ce looked at Shen Liangchen, who was dressed in plain clothes and standing in front of him. His eyes flashed and he frowned slightly. He handed Shen Liangchen a rouge box and said,"Take it."
Shen Liangchen looked at Xiao Ce with a frown but did not take the rouge box from him.
"Disguise cream!"
Hearing this, Shen Liangchen suddenly understood!
Her lips curved slightly as she raised her head to look at Xiao Ce. She lowered her head again and said,""There's no need for wangye to worry. With my face, wangye is definitely the first person to see it!”
How smart was Xiao Ce?
He knew what Shen Liangchen meant.
He was a little surprised that Shen Liangchen's pretty face had been disguised, but he couldn't see any flaws. He couldn't help but frown and wonder what she really looked like.
"Your Highness?"
After a while, seeing Xiao Ce staring at him, Shen Liangchen frowned and asked,""Are we still going to Qiande Palace?"
"Go! Of course!"
Xiao Ce withdrew his doubts and glanced at Shen Liangchen. He did not take the rouge box on the table but turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, Shen Liangchen quickly lowered his head and followed.
Today, Xiao Ce was still dressed in a dark blue brocade robe. He was handsome and unparalleled. No matter where he went, he would be the center of attention.
Shen Liangchen followed closely behind him. Although his face was bare, it could not hide his natural beauty. Under everyone's sidelong glances, she pursed her lips and kept her head down, keeping her eyes and nose down. She only waited at the door of the bedroom hall after following Xiao Ce all the way to Qiande Palace.
Qiande Palace, in the sleeping hall.
In front of the golden dragon bed, the palace fan slowly swayed, and the bed curtain gently swayed.
Between the bright yellow curtains, Xiao Zhan was dressed in his bright yellow casual clothes. He covered his forehead with one hand and leaned against the dragon couch, frowning and closing his eyes to rest.
But to him, this was the most humiliating night of his life!
His bride, his empress, the woman he had come all the way to marry, not only had she sent a eunuch to his bed, she had even drugged him in the nuptial wine and then fled!
Not to mention the Emperor of Wei who was decisive in killing, he was just an ordinary man. He would not be able to swallow this anger no matter what!
"Greetings, Imperial Brother!"
Xiao Ce entered the palace and stood in front of the dragon bed. He gave Xiao Zhan a deep look and bowed with a faint smile. His eyes did not hide his teasing intent at all,"Does Imperial Brother's head still hurt?"
"Much better than last night!" Xiao Zhan slowly opened his eyes and saw the interest in Xiao Ce's eyes. He couldn't help but frown and sat up from the dragon couch with a gloomy expression." Where's the person I asked you to find?" Did you bring it?"
"Stop gloating!"
A cold voice escaped from his lips as Xiao Zhan shot a cold warning glance at Xiao Ce.
Hearing this, Xiao Ce was not afraid at all. After laughing again, he could not help but click his tongue."This woman is really ruthless, she actually dared to drug Imperial Brother's wine! When Imperial Brother catches her, he will definitely teach her a lesson!”。
