"Could it be that Qing He poisoned me again?!" Xiao Shan thought of the conversation they had outside just now, and that little slut clearly had ill intentions!
Enraged, Xiao Shan was about to get up to find her: "Damn it, does she think she can get away with it?"
"No, no!" Ling Yao quickly hugged his neck, "She wouldn't, don't you think wildly!"
"It was me, it was me who was afraid you would eat something random outside, that's why I said that, oh!" Ling Yao cried out.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xiao Shan quickly held her steady, "Are you uncomfortable?"
"The baby kicked me, it hurts a little." Ling Yao said with a pained expression.
"Qing He, come in!" Xiao Shan roared.
Can you be a little quieter, big brother, my ears are almost deaf.
Ling Yao wanted to cry but had no tears.
Qing He hurried in, thinking something had happened, and seeing Ling Yao wink at her, she casually glanced at the table and smiled slightly.
Fortunately, the princess did not soften her heart.
Qing He took her pulse, "It's nothing, she's doing well, it's normal for the baby to be active, she might be hungry, Princess, please eat!"
"Are you sure it's nothing?" Xiao Shan asked with a cold face.
"It's nothing, General."
It's you who has something.
Xiao Shan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead. This room is really hot, but his wife is afraid of the cold, so there's nothing he can do.
Qing He was in a good mood, pointing to a plate of meat on the table, she smiled and said, "General, this is the little rabbit you brought back, it's made spicy, I wonder if you like it?"
What? That little white rabbit?
Veins popped on Xiao Shan's forehead. You slut, who gave you the courage!
That was what he gave to Xue Niang to play with!
"Just kidding, General, don't be angry. That little rabbit is being kept in the side room. The Princess is pregnant, so it's best not to give her these furry things to play with. Even if they are washed very clean, they still carry insects."
"Your servant withdraws."
As Qing He left, Xiao Shan was so angry he was spitting fire. Why did he feel like Qing He was deliberately opposing him?
He glanced at Xue Niang, seeing that she was lost in thought, dazed.
"Ahem! Wife, you and Qing He have a good relationship, shouldn't you show her some talented young men from the court?"
What did she mean? Ling Yao blinked.
Was she choosing a husband for her?
"She probably won't have that idea, let's wait a bit longer!"
...............
In the twenty-second year of Zhaohe of the Jing Kingdom, the Emperor passed away, and the new Emperor ascended the throne in a hurry, changing the reign title to Mingde.
The first thing the new emperor did was to reduce taxes for three years and begin a policy of recuperation.
After the Turkic envoy entered the capital, they finally had the opportunity to meet the Emperor and begin negotiations for a truce.
Perhaps taking advantage of the emperor's new policies, the Turkic First Prince Ashina Tulu, leading a group of envoys, began to haggle with Jing Kingdom, and the discussions dragged on.
They also proposed that the Turkic Princess Ashina Meiduo marry into Jing Kingdom, and the object of the marriage was the renowned Divine Might General.
To have Jing Kingdom's God of War marry a Turk, this was a blatant humiliation. Not to mention that the Divine Might General was already Princess Ling Yao's person, even if he wasn't, marrying a woman from an enemy country and having children with half foreign blood would not be a good thing for Jing Kingdom.
The ministers opposed this matter.
Xiao Shan sneered and declared on the spot, "It seems the Turks are not here to negotiate peace this time, but to stir up trouble. So be it! Your humble servant requests the Emperor to mobilize 500,000 troops and let your servant flatten the Turks!"
The Turkic envoy's expression changed, and their attitude softened.
In fact, Jing Kingdom could not even gather 500,000 troops at the moment, so Xiao Shan was just bluffing. However, everything he said carried weight, making people feel intimidated.
The matter stalled again.
..................
At Fengque Tower, Xiao Shan strode in with powerful steps, kicking open the door in a rage, his face as fierce as a vengeful Yama.
"Feng Ling Yao, who allowed you to do this?"
He was truly angry, his booming voice not restrained at all, scaring all the palace servants to their knees, trembling. Even Qing He, who was usually not afraid of him, couldn't help but tremble.
So this was the true face of the Divine Might General, it was too terrifying.
The small knife in Ling Yao's hand fell to the ground. He had never shouted at her like this before, and with this terrifying look, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
The Great Shaman was furious and stood up, scolding him fiercely, "What are you yelling about? Who allowed you to speak to the Princess like that! Can't you see you've scared her? You brute! I originally thought you were somewhat decent, but now it seems you're nothing. How could the Great Yao Divine Lord be like you!"
"My little princess is precious and pampered, don't let this black bear ruin her. It would be better to marry the barbaric princess, and you can do whatever you want to her, hit her or scold her, she can definitely take it!"
"My princess has plenty of people who dote on her. You go wherever it's cool, you barbarian!"
Qing He swallowed, looking at the man whose chest was heaving, and felt a bead of sweat for the Great Shaman.
Would this old man, the Great Shaman, be able to withstand a single punch?
Ling Yao pulled the Great Shaman's sleeve and said with a choked voice, "Great Shaman, I want him."
"Oh!" The Great Shaman clutched his chest and glared fiercely at the man standing before him, becoming more and more angry the more he looked.
Xiao Shan's ferocity eased slightly.
"Princess, you are a goddess, don't let this stinky man bully you! What if he has military power? Didn't the Regent King have military power back then? In front of the goddess, he was as obedient as a rabbit. I think we've really mistaken someone, that kid from the Song family—"
"You old scoundrel! How dare you mention that?" Xiao Shan glared and punched the table.
The sturdy nanmu table of the upper class shattered into pieces, making a loud noise.
Silence.
Ling Yao stared at him blankly, as if she didn't recognize him.
Was he showing off to her?
Just because... he thought she was harming him?
The Great Shaman's expression turned grim, and even Qing He became serious, blocking in front of Ling Yao.
Heh! What were they doing? Did they think he was going to hurt her? Fine, that's great, he was indeed an outsider!
They told him nothing, hid everything from him, and now they were so wary of him!
"General, it's only three months, is it worth it?" Qing He questioned coldly.
"Three months?" All of Xiao Shan's ferocity began to condense madly again.
Only three months?
After three months, would the person still be alive?
"Feng Ling Yao, I nursed your body back to health bit by bit! What right do you have to make decisions!" He was so angry his eyes turned red, and he pointed at the Great Shaman and said hatefully, "Don't think I'm easy to bully. She's not Jing Kingdom's damn goddess, she's mine alone! If you push me too far, I'll take her away and no one will see her!"
"You, you, fine, you've finally revealed your true nature, treating the Goddess as your canary, truly presumptuous, presumptuous!"
"Enough!" Ling Yao shouted, gritting her teeth and looking at Xiao Shan, her reddened eyes filled with fragility.
Xiao Shan's chest ached almost to suffocation.
But he also had his stubbornness.
How could she, how could she hide it from him...
