Chapter 157 Who Says I'm Not Marrying When Jiang Ben arrived, he met Li Wenzhou, the head chamberlain, at the door.

I heard that King Zhao Zheng of Yong State is still in the backyard, and Her Royal Highness Princess An Guo is changing clothes in the bedroom.

Jiang Ben crossed the crowd and went straight to the bedroom regardless of the surprised looks of everyone in the courtyard.

"elder sister."

He called out from outside and heard a reply from inside, his voice full of anger.

This sound does not sound like he is lying down to nurse his fetus.

That means you want to regret your marriage.

Zhao Zheng was left hanging in the backyard, presumably his sister still refused to marry.

Many thoughts passed through Jiang Ben's mind in an instant.

Children without a father are more miserable, but with him here, an uncle and half a father, this is easier to handle.

However, if you return to Qi State while pregnant, you may be I had to choose a nominal father for the child on the road, and get married when I got back.

This is easy, find a good dignitary, only let him be the father, and don't allow him to touch his sister.

But my sister is so beautiful, living under the same roof every day, if I can't help it...

Then wait until the child is born, kill the donkey and drive him away.

Jiang Ben smiled with satisfaction, but the problem now seemed to be how to escape from Yong Kingdom.

"Sister, will you pretend to be dead?"

he asked outside the door.

There was a sudden silence in the house.

"I'm fine, why do you have to pretend to be dead?"

Jiang He's voice was a little surprised, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Jiang Ben rubbed his hands and became anxious.

"Sister, pretend to be faint. I'll ask Chen Nanxing to come over and show you that the medicine and stone have no effect. Then I will drill a few holes under the coffin, pretend to be buried, and steal you out. Let's escape back to Qi State."

There was no sound inside for a long time, and I didn't know what Jiang He was thinking.

"Sister, don't be afraid," Jiang Ben advised. "Brother supports any decision you make. That Zhao Zheng... is indeed a bit too fierce, and his health is not good. If you don't want to marry, don't marry. I will find you a better one." . There are so many men in our Qi country. When my sister goes back, you can choose whatever you want."

"Who said I won't get married?"

The door was opened.

The autumn light fell from the sky, and in the bright light, he saw a person standing inside the skirt fluttered to the ground, stunning Jiang Ben who was racking his brains to think of countermeasures.

"Sister!" He couldn't help but sigh.

The pearls on the phoenix crown are eye-catching, and the Zhai dress embroidered with bird patterns is solemn and elegant; the head is slightly raised in the fur collar, and the figure is tall and straight under the ribbon; the appearance can close the sun and the moon, and the expression can scare the spring breeze; every move is unrivaled.

My sister is so beautiful.

Jiang Ben almost forgot who he was, where he came from, and where he was going.

Are you getting married?But if such a sister marries Zhao Zheng, she feels that she is at a loss no matter what.

While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind me.

"Ahe..."

That voice was obviously shocked by her sister's beauty, but was that voice?

Jiang Ben stood there with his hair standing on end.

He turned his head stiffly and saw Zhao Zheng standing not far behind him, raising his hand towards Jiang He.

"Your Majesty...were you always here just now?"

Jiang Ben asked with a trembling voice.

"No." Zhao Zheng pursed his thin lips.

Jiang Ben was almost scared to death, but he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Zheng added: "Since you said you wanted Ahe to pretend to be dead, find a better one for her, Gucai is here."

Jiang Ben felt that his soul had left his body and was standing in the air laughing at smiled numbly at Zhao Zheng, and his smile was uglier than crying.

"Jiang Ben..." Zhao Zheng looked a little unhappy. He looked at Jiang Ben and hesitated to speak.

I was wrong!I was so wrong! Jiang Ben's entire body dwarfed, his head was gray and his face was ashen, as if he was about to dig into the mud.

"Thank you for accompanying me all the way." Zhao Zhengdao said, "Your sister was taken away alone."

He took a few steps forward and took Jiang He's hand.

"Where's the carriage?"

"Loneliness is here."

"Then I will wrong Your Majesty and squeeze in with me."

"Huddled together with Ahe, how proud is it?"

……

The voices of the Yong King and Queen gradually faded away, but Jiang Ben still stood frozen at the door.

He turned around to look for someone in disbelief and saw Zongjun looking at Jiang He's back with tears in his eyes.

"Come here!" He greeted Zongjun and pointed at his nose. "Your monarch, just... thanked me?"

"Yes," Zongjun raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and bowed, "Your Majesty is grateful to everyone who has protected His Royal Highness the Princess. Naturally, he is also grateful to the Young Master."

"Who wants to thank him?"

Jiang Ben curled his lips. He felt that his soul was finally back, and he felt a little excited.

"That's my sister. If I don't protect her, who will? Hurry! The dowry is here!"

He said and ran forward, raising the sword and coins at his waist.

That was something that his sister told him to wear when they first met.

Although his body was at the end of his strength, Zhao Zheng refused to allow anyone to shorten the wedding ceremony.

Worshiping the gods shows respect to the clans of heaven and earth; entering the same prison mat symbolizes the binding of fate and perseverance; eating grains shows respecting the community and caring for the grain and loving the people like children; drinking Henu wine means that the husband and wife work together to bring peace to the world.

After the grand but lively ceremony, only the emperor and the queen were left in the palace.

Jiang He raised his head and saw Zhao Zheng's tender smile.

She still remembered the first time she saw him smile. It was on the night of her last wedding. He found all kinds of weapons from her body and couldn't help laughing.

During the night when he was tied to the bed and slept restlessly, Jiang He hoped that the person in front of him would disappear immediately and never appear later...

Later, they used tricks to deal with Lord Chang'an and the Wei family. Only then did Jiang He realize that there were so many people in the world who wanted him dead.

But he chose to look after and protect her.

When she was poisoned by the poison of infatuation, he raised his arm and was bitten to pieces by her.

After hosting a banquet for the envoys from the six countries, he ran to the Wei embassy because of her, delaying his detoxification.

When he vomited blood and threw himself into her arms, all she could think about was: Don't die, don't die.

Others say that Zhao Zheng is the most vicious person in the world. That may be because he gave her all his kindness and tenderness.

Even when she left cruelly, he sent away Zongjun, whose life was at stake, and his most trusted doctor, Lingjun.

Later, she found and lost her father, wandering between Wei and Qi. Suddenly looking back, he was always standing where they met, waiting for her to go back.

On the boat in Jihe, she said she wanted power, and he gave it to her; she said she wanted to be a retainer, and he was right; he even handed over the jade seal to her calmly.

only--

It's just that she doesn't want anything now, she just wants him alive.

"Your Majesty," Jiang He said softly, "Are you feeling better?"

Zhao Zheng nodded but did not speak.

As if he was enduring something, he suddenly turned around, covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Large mouthfuls of blood fell from the fingers, staining the ground.

"His Majesty!"

Jiang He stood up and knelt in front of Zhao Zheng, wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with a silk handkerchief, and wiped his fingers clean.

"It doesn't matter," Zhao Zhengdao said, "It's been like this these past few days."

He smiled and let Jiang He wipe his hands with a calm expression.

But before he finished speaking, more blood poured out of his throat, seemingly endlessly.

"Doctor!"

Jiang He stood up and ran out, but Zhao Zheng grabbed her sleeve, shook his head and said: "It's really uncomfortable to use acupuncture to remove poison, and two hours is too long. It's not easy for you and me to have what we have today. Just Let Gu'an spend the night quietly with you."

Strings of tears fell from Jiang He's eyes. She endured her sadness and nodded: "Okay."

Take off his crown, take off his clothes, take off his leather belt, and put his sword at the end of the bed.

I picked her phoenix crown, took off her clothes, combed her long hair, and picked up her clothes.

There is only one dragon and phoenix pillow, but it is very long.

Zhao Zheng pulled Jiang He into his arms and rested his chin lightly on her black hair.

"Don't worry," he said with a very reluctant look on his face, but his tone was very relaxed, "I'm fine. I've been awake for a long time today."

He originally thought that he would be exhausted and fall into a coma if he could not even complete the auspicious ceremony of the wedding.

But now that he had done everything, he could even chat with her.

"But you vomited a lot of blood." Jiang He's voice was a little desperate.

Could it be that those medicines are more harmful to the body?

Zhao Zheng did not speak.

Jiang He secretly wiped away his tears, still not waiting for his answer.

Are you asleep?

She raised her head and saw a look of disbelief on Zhao Zheng's face.

He took his hand away from Jiang He's waist, lifted it up slightly, and put it in front of his eyes. He looked at it with a frown, the corners of his lips moving slightly, and his eyes like waves hitting the rocks, with emotions agitated.

"Ah He..." Zhao Zheng said, "Is Gu's hand too hot, or is your body too cold?"

Zhao Zheng’s hand!

Since the residual poison caused a sluggish heartbeat, his hands and feet were as cold as winter snow even if he put them under the brocade quilt to warm them.

Jiang He stood up suddenly and held Zhao Zheng's hand.

His hands are hot!

Warmth is like the wind blowing on your face in spring, like a sleeve stove hidden in your arms in winter.

Throwing away his hand, Jiang He went to untie his movements were rough and anxious, until she had untied him evenly, then she leaned over and lowered her head, placing her ear against his chest.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Jiang He was familiar with his heartbeat.

It's just that it's so fast and powerful, but not familiar enough.

"Doctor!"

She stood up again, ignored Zhao Zheng's obstruction, and ran to the entrance of the palace while dressing.

She doesn't understand pulse diagnosis or medical science.

It's up to the doctors to decide whether His Majesty is feeling better or not.

Today is a double happiness, why are they all crying? The imperial doctor cried, the chamberlains cried, the ministers cried, and the Queen Mother who came after hearing the news also cried.

Jiang He felt that they were crying unnecessarily, but the Queen Mother cried and took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Jiang He.

Jiang He thinks this jade bracelet is good, moist and clear, and worth a lot of money.

If there was anything else she could do, Jiang He allowed her to cry a little longer and thank her a little longer.

Unlike those imperial doctors and close ministers who knew how to kowtow to her.

What's the use of kowtow?It cannot be exchanged for silver.

After the crowd dispersed, Jiang He put the bracelet into the dowry and looked back at Zhao Zheng, who was sitting silently on the bedside.

He didn't know if it was because she made such a big noise that he was a little tired.

"Okay, I was wrong."

Jiang He walked over and acted coquettishly, and his sorrow disappeared.

Zhao Zheng hugged her and held her on his knees.

There was a touch of warmth between his handsome brows, and he suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered where I saw my father-in-law."
