Chapter 2745 Xiaoman (Down and Out)
The woman was very beautiful, with a slender figure like a willow branch in spring, and skin whiter than snow.
A pink Liushaliyue skirt fluttered gently in the wind, like a blooming peach blossom.
Her black hair was combed into a fairy bun, with a beautiful bell-peony hairpin inserted on it, and tassels hanging on the side. When she walked, the bells rang softly, as if a fairy had descended to earth.
"Brother, why is she crying?"
"Isn't it said that the blessed women of Hu country never cry?"
"The only time I cried was when Queen Hu passed away."
"Oh, by the way, there is no Hu Kingdom in the world now."
"The people of Hu country deserve to die. They have committed serious crimes. Now they are captured by You country people to make elixirs for immortality. They deserve it!"
Only then did Hu Xiaoman slowly raise her head. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, like ripe peaches.
Her eyes fell directly on the woman.
She already knew in her heart that the woman's name was Chu Ran.
"No, why are you staring at me like that?"
"Did the princess just say something wrong?"
"Mrs. Hu, you must remember that you are now in the State of Chu."
"Your Hu Kingdom no longer exists. It is disrespectful for you to stare at me like this!" Chu Ran raised his head with a proud look.
The meaning is clearly that if you live under someone else's roof, you should be aware of the fact that you are living under someone else's roof.
Hu Xiaoman's eyes were still fixed on Chu Ran. Her voice was hoarse, but it revealed a frightening pressure: "Apologize!"
Chu Ran seemed to have heard something incredible. Her eyes widened, and she raised her eyebrows with a look of surprise: "Why should this princess apologize?"
Hu Xiaoman said in a deep voice: "Not all the people of Hu country are sinful. The people are innocent."
Chu Ran laughed coldly, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"innocent?"
"Then our Chu State's 500,000 soldiers are also innocent. But they were all killed by your Hu State!"
Chu Ran clenched her fists tightly: "You are telling me now that the people are innocent?"
"Those soldiers were also citizens of Chu before they became soldiers!"
"Mrs. Hu, this is the palace of our Chu State. If you don't want to cause trouble for Brother Qingye, then in the future..."
Before Chu Ran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Qingye's cold voice: "Enough!"
There was a powerful pressure in his eyes, and he looked at Chu Ran, "What do you want from me?"
Chu Ran walked forward a few steps, and naturally took Chu Qingye's arm, smiling with a hint of coquettishness.
"Brother, I have already practiced the sword technique you taught me yesterday. I want to practice it for you now, okay?"
Chu Qingye's eyes fell on Hu Xiaoman's face, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Ran'er, you go down first."
"I'll come watch you practice swordplay later."
Chu Ran became unhappy instantly, and a trace of grievance flashed across her face as she curled her lips.
"Brother, you were always very happy whenever I made a breakthrough in swordsmanship."
"No matter what you were doing at the time, you would come to watch me practice swordsmanship and give me gifts as rewards."
"Are you worried about this blessed girl?"
"She's awake now, so she doesn't need me to accompany her."
"Brother, it's the same if Chu Hen takes care of her."
"Ran'er practiced this move all night long."
Chu Qingye was still hesitating when Chu Hen strode in from the door, still holding his gold and silver fan in his hand with a faint smile on his lips.
"Chu Qingye, you can't bully Ran'er."
"Go quickly, I'll watch over Hu Xiaoman here."
Before Chu Qingye agreed, Chu Ran had already pulled her up.
"Let's go, brother... I've been practicing for a long time."
Her voice was full of coquettish tones, soft and weak.
Chu Qingye glanced at Hu Xiaoman, who was still hugging his knees with a somewhat wandering look.
In the end, he was pulled out by Chu Ran.
Hu Xiaoman's lonely figure seemed even more desolate in the silent room, as if his whole body was shrouded in a deep sadness.
Chu Hen, who was standing in front of him, frowned slightly and said lightly: "Hu Xiaoman, you have to learn to accept reality."
"Chu Ran will become Chu Qingye's princess in the future."
"They have had a good friendship since childhood. Besides, apart from the time when Ye Xiao was assassinated, it was Chu Ran who saved him. Chu Ran is a life-saver to Chu Qingye."
"Hu Xiaoman, don't think about things that don't belong to you."
Only then did Hu Xiaoman slowly raise his red eyes and look at Chu Hen's face, his voice a little hoarse and doubtful.
"Isn't Chu Ran Chu Qingye's sister?"
Chu Hen's voice became even colder.
"Chu Ran is not Chu Qingye's biological sister."
"When Chu Qingye was five years old, he went to the summer palace with his mother. On the way, he was assassinated and nearly killed by a sword. It was Chu Ran who rushed out and blocked the sword for him."
"Chu Ran is an orphan whose mother died of illness. The reason why she encountered Chu Qingye's assassination was because her mother died of illness. She dragged her mother on a cart and wanted to transport her mother for burial."
"Later, Chu Ran was saved. Because her parents had both passed away and she had saved Chu Qingye's life, the Queen Mother adopted her as her adopted daughter."
"Although she is not from the royal family of Chu, she is registered under the name of the queen, so she is a noble princess."
While saying these words, Chu Hen himself did not notice the hint of sadness and tenderness in his eyes.
But Hu Xiaoman's next words shattered the tenderness in his eyes.
"Didn't you say that?"
"She is recorded as a noble princess under the Queen's name. Regardless of whether she is Chu Qingye's sister or not, she can't become Chu Qingye's princess, right?"
Chu Hen sneered: "You don't have to worry about these things."
"Just remember that you are now just a poor princess whose family has been destroyed."
Having said that, Chu Hen sneered again.
"No, you are not even a princess of poverty. After all, you were not born in the land of the barbarians."
"Hu Xiaoman, I warn you, this is in Chu State, don't bully Princess Ran, or I won't let you go."
Hu Xiaoman slowly lowered his eyes, still looking at his fingertips with lifeless eyes.
"By the way, the luck-changing sacrificial ceremony will be held in two days, so you should prepare well."
Hu Xiaoman didn't raise his head, and his voice was indifferent: "What fortune-transfer sacrificial ceremony?"
Chu Hen opened the gold and silver fan in his hand, shook it and said, "Have you forgotten that you are the daughter of Hu Kingdom's destiny?"
"The luck in you is what everyone desires."
"You are a great danger to our Chu State."
"The sacrificial ceremony in two days will be presided over by our Chu State's great wizard, who will transfer all your luck to our Chu State's fifth princess, Chu Ruo."
"Since Chu Ruo is the daughter of the Imperial Concubine, she is also blessed. If you transfer your energy to her, our Chu State will surely be able to defeat the You State."
When he said this, Chu Hen almost gritted his teeth.
