"I heard that he is a disfigured sick person, so the princess must not want to. Will she choose us to marry her on her behalf..."
In the corner of the wall, several little maids were chattering.
I was hiding in the dark, restrained my excitement, and left quietly.
I know, my chance is here.
was brought to this distant Tubo country for three years. I endured humiliation and became Princess Mashar's maid, and finally waited for the opportunity to return to my country.
Go back to take revenge.

After listening to the wall, I went back to the side room where my servant lived and took out something from the bottom of the bed.
A phoenix-shaped jade pendant.
——It was the Phoenix Order that was hidden in my bellyband when I was twelve years old. The only thing that represents my identity.
Holding the jade pendant tightly, I closed my eyes and let out a breath, and I heard the door of the side room being pushed open.
I put the jade pendant in my arms and saw the maid Chuntao coming in. I smiled at her as usual, "Xiao Tao, why didn't you serve the princess? She knew you were lazy and you were going to be whipped again."
Princess Mashar is the only daughter of the king of Tubo . She was extremely favored and developed an arrogant and domineering personality.
Chuntao gave me a white look, "Xiao Song, the princess is asking you to come!"
I nodded, "Go now, I guess I am lazy again."
Put the jade pendant in my arms, I cut my hair and temples in front of the bronze mirror beside the small bed, hooked up a smile that I had practiced for a long time, and walked out of the side room calmly.
Chuntao laughed and scolded from afar, "Xiao Song, you are so stinky. You are called to ask questions and still don't forget to look in the mirror!"
Walking on the path to the main courtyard, I laughed secretly.
Chuntao, you are such a stupid girl. The smile I practiced just now clearly was learned from the princess’ usual appearance.
The princess has four big maids and eight second maids, but among them, no matter in terms of body shape or appearance, the one who looks the most like the princess is me, Song Yihuan.
is simply the best stand-in for the princess.
When I came to the door of the main room, I knocked on the door respectfully and said softly, "Princess, maid Xiao Song is here."
A rude voice sounded, "Come in."
I walked in with that smile, leaned on the edge of the woman's legs with deep and delicate facial features and bright red clothes, "I wonder what the princess is calling maids to come?"
Mashar raised his phoenix eyes and raised his hand to hook my chin.
I caught the satisfaction that flashed through her eyes.
"Xiao Song..." Her voice was unprecedentedly soft, "I have something to discuss with you."

In a blink of an eye, it is the day when the princess gets married.
Cover with red veil , put on the wedding dress, and I sat in the sedan chair for the wedding.
Listen to the music in my ears and sounded melodiously. With the sound of "Getting up the sedan chair--", I felt the sedan chair bump and began to move forward slowly.
I breathed lightly.
Three years of life making a cow and horse for people, and it’s finally over.
Regent, I'm here.
It is about a month's journey from Tubo to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Whether it is resting, eating, drinking, defecating, or urinating, there are special maids to take care of me.
The sedan chair was swaying and walked for half a month in a blink of an eye.
I slightly lifted the veil and asked the maid outside the sedan chair: "Where have you reached?"
The maid replied respectfully: "It has been three days since the Great Week."
I put down the curtain of the sedan chair, rubbed the jade pendant in my arms, and thought about the rumors about the Regent in my memory.
Rumor has been said that the Regent Xiao Xun has been a child prodigy since he was a child. He is amazing and beautiful, and is more beautiful than Pan An . His handsome appearance has attracted women all over the capital.
However, due to a mysterious incident ten years ago, the regent, who was only fifteen years old, was seriously injured and left the guests behind closed doors for two months.
Then, the Regent could no longer go out easily. It is said that it was disfigured and was also disability in that incident.
From then on, although the power is in power, it is still as if it is useless.
Thinking of this, I pinched the jade pendant tightly, and my inner hatred was like a flood, and I didn't let go until I felt the pain in my hands.
What happened to Xiao Xun’s accident? No one knows except me.
He killed my father with his own hands and the most loyal general in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
General Wu Xuan - the famous founding general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, my father, was killed when I was five years old.
Even though I fell into the hands of a human trafficker at the age of twelve, I became the most despicable maid in Tubo, I reminded myself day and night to kill Xiao Xun with my own hands and avenge my father.
was thinking, and the sedan chair suddenly shook, and a commotion sounded around it.
I opened my eyes in surprise and saw the bright red veil in front of me. I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened..."
"Ah--" A scream rang in my ears.
Then, a light roar of rapid flowing air came from above my head. I picked up the curtain and rolled on the spot, avoiding the deathly arrow.
Who killed me?
The veil was floating and slipped down. I half-kneeled beside the sedan chair, paused, and saw the ground lying full of guards escorting the princess and their dear.
Steady footsteps came from my ears.
I suddenly raised my head, looked at the man who was walking towards me slowly.
Wearing an ink-colored jade crown on the head, the sword eyebrows flew into the temples, the phoenix eyes were long and narrow, the lips were pursed, and the facial features were as if they were carved by a knife and an axe, so handsome that they were not as handsome as ordinary people.
His black eyes were staring at me, and the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood.
I felt a tight heart, stood up and slowly retreated, staring at him and said sternly, "Who are you? Why do you kill the guard who escorted this princess?"
The man paused, and then continued to walk towards me, lifted the sword in his hand, and a touch of playfulness was stained with his shimmering black eyes, "You said you are that stupid Mashar?"
I stared at him coldly, "I am not stupid."
Who is this man?
Not to mention how he had such a cold and compelling aura. It is difficult for anyone in the entire Great Zhou to do this with this sword-tight method.
Mashar is the only princess in Tubo, so the purpose of this man is to make the marriage unable to succeed?
A thought flashed through.
I blurted out, "You are Xiao Xun's person."
The man raised his eyebrows, stopped completely, and his eyes looked at me intentionally or unintentionally.
I looked at him calmly.
I look five or six points similar to Mashar. At this time, I wear heavy makeup. No matter who he is, I can never tell whether the distant Tubo princess is a prince.
The man finally looked at it enough, and a few cool and thin chucklings overflowed his throat.
He raised his lips and stared at me with a smile, "It turns out that Princess Mashar's words and deeds are full of etiquette and teachings from the powerful and powerful in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
I stared at him suddenly, and my heart was cold. How did he see it?
The man saw me silent, and suddenly his body moved. When I didn't react, a thin sword hit my neck.
An extremely dangerous aura came to my face, and his cold voice rang in my ears: "Replace the princess, you are so brave!"
My body was cold, but my brain became calmer. Looking at his close face, he sneered: "I'll have to let the Regent go there personally, and the little girl is flattered!"
It turns out that Xiao Xun was disfigured and disabled, all of them are fake!
The air suddenly calmed down.
For a long time, Xiao Xun chuckled, with a little joy. He slowly came to my ears, his voice cold but beautiful.
"Little wild cat, so smart."
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Xun's voice changed and the thin sword got closer.
"Little girl, has anyone told you that you are too smart...it is easy to be beautiful and have little life?"
The cold sword made me feel scared.
raised his eyes and met his slightly narrowed eyes, and my heart was chilled.
This man, I want to kill me as a fake guy, is not a joke.
"Regent," I stared at him and curled my lips, "Sometimes, it's good to keep a fake guy around you, right? For example, you can hold me."
Although I don't want to say that, I have to live first.
Xiao Xun raised his eyebrows, shouted, and put away his long sword, "Those guards were hit by Ma Fei San, and they will wake up in a quarter of an hour. Come to the capital safely, I will wait for you. We will have a date later." After
, he tapped his toes lightly, jumped up, and disappeared into the dense forest.
After I watched him disappear completely, I breathed a sigh of relief and lost my strength to fall to the ground.
unexpectedly met Xiao Xun, but found that he was so difficult to deal with. No wonder my father died at the hands of him who was only fifteen years old.
covered my neck and breathed a sigh of relief. I slowly stood up and sat back in the sedan chair.
The guards woke up one after another after a quarter of an hour and asked in confusion what had just happened. Seeing that I was also confused, the guards had to give up thinking and continue to move forward towards the Great Zhou.
Ten days later, the marriage team arrived at the capital of Dazhou.
The emperor sent an imperial guard to greet the city gate. The people around him surrounded the road and were filled with water, and the sounds of celebration and suona were endless, which was extremely lively.
I sat in the sedan chair, quietly lifted the curtain and looked out.
People on the roadside all have curious expressions. The houses and neighbors are similar to those in memory, but they are a little different. I looked at it for a few seconds and then lowered the curtain.
is ultimately a matter and a person change.
I just sat back when a scream suddenly sounded in the crowd.
"That person... is the Regent!"
"The Regent actually came in a wheelchair!"
"..."
I moved my mind and lifted the curtain to look.
In front of the crowd, a man was wearing a gilded black suit, sitting in a wheelchair, pushing the wheelchair towards me.
long hair, shimmering black eyes, slightly tilted corners of eyes, and pursed lips were all the familiar faces ten days ago.
However, there was a terrifying scar on this handsome face, from the corner of the left eye to the right cheek, destroying the beauty of the entire face.
He seemed to feel my gaze and his eyes turned to me.
I quickly put down the curtain, covered the red veil, and suppressed the surging emotions in my heart.
Xiao Xun in my childhood memory stayed on the night when my father died.
When I arrived that day, my father in the pool of blood had no life. At that time, I only saw Xiao Xun standing next to the corpse, holding a blood-dropping sword. At a young age, his aura was low and cruel.
Today, Xiao Xun seems to be down and frustrated, but in fact he is keeping his low profile. What is he trying to disfigure his disfigurement?
After several thoughts, Xiao Xun was already close.
The male voice outside the sedan was tepid, "I am the Regent, I am here to marry the princess and return home."
I cleared my voice, "I am the Tubo princess, the Regent is polite."
After a few greetings, Xiao Xun protected him outside the sedan, and followed the many guards along the way to the door of the Regent's Mansion .
The sedan stopped.
"Princess, here."
I lifted the curtain and stretched out my arms. As soon as I got out of the sedan chair, my hand was held by a rough and warm hand.
I was a little stunned through the red veil, and then I heard Xiao Xun say lightly beside me: "I am sick and can only hold the princess' hand into the palace like this. The process is simple, and I hope the princess won't mind."
I pursed my lower lip, "It's nothing."
The sound of firecrackers kept ringing, crackling and quite festive. There was a lot of noises in my ears asking for money, and then the children's laughter and joke were ripped off.
When someone holds his hands, it’s much easier to walk. Covering the veil, I felt the warmth coming from my hands, but my mood was extremely heavy.
stepped into the gate of the Regent's Palace, and a creaking sound of the door closed behind him.
In front of the palace is a lively banquet.
Xiao Xun held my hand and immediately let go.
"Princess, I still have to go to toast, so I can only feel wronged that the princess will wait in the room for a while."
It is evening now, and there is still a lot of time before night, which is convenient for me to investigate the arrangements of the Regent's Mansion.
"Your best friend, go."
Xiao Xun did not walk away immediately. He sat in a wheelchair. Under the gaze of many servants of Xi Po, he stretched out his hands with clear joints on my shoulders, and made me bend down with a little force, lifted my other hand, and slightly raised his red veil.
I was stunned.
He sat in a wheelchair, leaned over to my ear, and gently stroked my earlobe with thin lips, "Tonight's bridal chamber, remember not to do small movements."
My hair suddenly stood up in an instant.
In a blink of an eye, he had put down his veil and walked away in a wheelchair.
I followed the servants and finally came to the bedroom that was decorated with festive and beautiful red.
"Princess, the prince said if you are hungry, just eat some pastries first." The servant put some sweets on the table and left respectfully.
After the servants left, I lifted the veil.
A lively sound of cups and cups were heard from the front yard. I saw no one around and quietly walked out of the bright red bedroom and came to the courtyard.
I observed its layout in the courtyard and lifted my foot away from the courtyard. The servants were all in the front yard to serve guests for the wedding banquet, and there were very few people guarding here.
After memorizing the general buildings around me, I saw that it was dark and I went back to my room.
Xiao Xun hasn't come back yet.
I covered my red veil and leaned against the head of the bed and closed my eyes.
is only the first step to approach the father-killing enemy.Xiao Xun is very skilled in martial arts, not as weak and sick as rumors say, so killing him is a matter of zero possibility for me.
But tonight is a good opportunity.
I raised my hand and touched the hairpin on my hair, which was tough and sharp.
As long as I can get close to him...
The sound of pushing the door suddenly came from the door of the room.
I lowered my hand, raised my eyes and saw that it was red in front of me. I was stunned. After I realized that it was a veil, Xiao Xun was already sitting next to me with alcohol.
"Prince."
Xiao Xun stretched out his hand and slowly lifted up my red veil, allowing me to see his gorgeous face little by little.
He hooked his lower lip, "Why didn't you take off your clothes and wait for me?"
I resisted the urge to turn around and leave, "Prince, you have drunk too much."
"Not much, I'm very sober." He smiled lazily and threw the red veil aside, "Princess...or, little girl, what do you want to do when Mashar sends you here? Do you know, instead of marriage, is he trying to challenge the peaceful relationship between the two countries?"
There is no one in this room, Xiao Xun is not in a wheelchair, and the scar on his face is gone.
I calmed down and looked at him, "The prince was joking. The princess didn't want to destroy the peaceful relationship between the two countries, but she wanted to be filial to the king of Tubo, so I sent me."
Xiao Xun looked at me meaningfully, "If you don't want to destroy the relationship between the two countries, why are you so sure?"
was stared at by his dark eyes, and my heart suddenly jumped.
After staying in Tubo for three years, I knew very well that they did not dare to do anything to the Great Zhou Dynasty. I cannot be scared by Xiao Xun's words.
I calmed down a little, "Of course, Tubo has no intention of deceiving the Great Zhou."
Let's talk about it again, even if they deceived it, what's the matter with me? I am a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a descendant of loyal generals.
Xiao Xun mocked the corner of his lips, raised his hand to hook my hair, and played around his fingertips, with a little temptation in his low voice, "Who are you?"
I raised a smile on my face, raised my hand to grab his chaotic fingers, wrapped it around, and felt a little cool, "Prince, the little girl is just an ordinary maid of Princess Mashar, she has no name, and has been called Xiao Song."
"Xiao Song?"
Xiao Xun suddenly stood up and pressed me back on the bed. He held my hand with rough hands, smiling on his lips, but not in his eyes, "How dare your princess use a maid to fool me?"
ended, his head drooped, his lips attached to my earlobe, and he took a bite like punishment, "Huh?"
The lingering voice was like a lover's gentle murmur.
I was suppressed and could not move. A wave of repulsion and hatred surged in my heart. A few seconds later, I held back this breath, stretched out one leg to hook it on his waist, and smiled at him, "Prince, the maid is also a woman, and she is also a beauty, enough to serve your bridal chamber joy."
Xiao Xun's black eyes stared at me deeply, "Is that true?"
I smiled and nodded, raised my legs to hook his waist, and felt carefully whether there was any weakness in his body.
He laughed softly, suddenly stood up and let me go, with a faint smile, "I don't want to touch you, I believe you don't want to touch me either. Today's bridal chamber is aborted. I slept in the compartment tonight. I have met the emperor tomorrow morning, so you can move to the new yard to live."
I was stunned.
Bedroom night, is this gone?
Although I was not happy with the bridal chamber of the father-killing enemy, how could I find an opportunity to take advantage of his attitude?
Take a deep breath, I get up and get out of bed, and walk towards Xiao Xun.
"Prince," I smirked, raised my arms and gently wrapped them around his waist, and raised my eyes, "The little girl has always been willing to be full of flowers with the prince, but I didn't expect that she would be disliked by the prince."
Xiao Xun stared at me without saying a word.
suppressed my hatred and slowly leaned down along his waist with one hand.
You can feel this person's muscles are solid and the lines are smooth. It is absolutely impossible to assassinate rashly.
Xiao Xun suddenly reached out to pinch me and grabbed my fingers hard.
I took a breath.
His fingers rubbed my wrist artery, "Since I have entered my Regent's Mansion, I have to remember to be good."
This is a warning.
After saying that, he let go of me, waved his sleeves and walked towards the compartment, and disappeared from my sight a few seconds later, without any nostalgia.
I held my wrist and slowly sat back on the bed. In the cold room, I recalled the thrilling clashes just now.
Don’t be too hasty when dealing with this person.
But it doesn't matter, I have patience.
Sleepless overnight.

The next morning, the palace.
Ming and Emperor sat on the high dragon chaise, looking at Xiao Xun sitting in a wheelchair and me kneeling on the ground, and said, "The princess is here from afar, I haven't welcomed the princess yet."
"Your Majesty, you're polite, don't have to go a long way." I stood up.
Ming Hedi stared at me and changed the subject, "Princess Mashar is really beautiful. I look at it and looks a bit similar to my beloved daughter who disappeared three years ago by General Wuxuan of Great Zhou..."
My heart suddenly jumped.
Why did the emperor remember my appearance so clearly?
Xiao Xun sat in a wheelchair, moved to me, staring at Minghedi and said lightly, "Emperor, Princess Mashar has lived in Tubo for fifteen years. Even if she is similar to General Wu Xuan's missing daughter, it is just a coincidence, and there is no need to worry too much."
Minghedi turned her eyes on Xiao Xun, looked at him firmly for a while, but her voice was not distinguishing from joy or anger, "So that's it."
I quietly lowered my head.
Xiao Xun obviously has a bad relationship with the emperor. Since this is the case, the emperor still wants the Tubo princess to marry him, which means that this marriage can only maintain a short period of peace.
No wonder he questioned the peace between the two countries I mentioned yesterday. The guard leader of the guard team who had been quiet behind him suddenly spoke, "Emperor of the Great Zhou, the princess of our country was attacking three days away in the Great Zhou territory." The hall was quiet.
Minghedi looked at him with an unclear expression: "What happened?"
The guard leader was neither humble nor arrogant. "The other party seemed to be single, but his martial arts were outstanding. Our guards suffered heavy losses. Please give our country an explanation."
Xiao Xun's face was not turbulent, but the scar made him look terrible and remote.
Ming Hedi frowned, "I will investigate this matter to the end, and I will never tolerate it!"
The guard leader bowed his lower body, "We will wait for your Majesty's explanation."
I gently pulled the corner of my lower lip.
was done by the Regent. I know, the emperor may know, but what can he do?
Since we want to thoroughly investigate this matter, the escort team can only stay in the capital for the time being.
Just as everything was finished, I was about to say goodbye, Emperor Minghe suddenly looked at Xiao Xun: "Regent, stay."
Xiao Xun's eyebrows slightly constrained, and he turned his head to look at me, "Princess, go back first.”
"Yes."
left the palace, and I took the carriage from the Regent's Mansion and breathed a sigh of relief.
The temporary identity can still be hidden. Although I don’t know why Xiao Xun helped me out, I still thanked me in my heart.
The carriage drove towards the Regent's Mansion. I listened to the discussion outside and opened the curtain.
"The one sitting here is the Tubo marriage princess. It is said that she looks quite beautiful, very much like General Wu Xuan's only daughter growing up..."
"Shh, although Miss Song is a beauty, she has been missing for three years now, and she is probably dead outside..."
I put down the curtain.
When the mansion was abducted, only my grandmother was left in the mansion and I don’t know how the general’s mansion is now.
Wait for me to settle down in the Regent's Mansion, I have to go home and have a look.
The carriage stopped.
was surrounded by servants and I walked to the door of the main house and sent everyone away.
Seeing that there was no one around in the secluded yard at this time, I raised my foot and walked towards the study.
The study door latch was not bolted. Obviously, Xiao Xun did not expect that he would be left suddenly, giving me an opportunity to take advantage of it.
As soon as I raised my hand to push the door, a figure flashed in front of me and stopped me from entering the study, "Princess, the study is the important place of the royal palace, you can't go in."
