There were slight footsteps outside the door. Zhao Xueying thought it was the sound of ringing coming back, but what he saw was Wanyan Lie.

She was so frightened that she sat up holding the quilt and hid in the corner of the bed.

"What are you doing back again?!"

Wanyan Lie's face and front were wet. In order to wake himself up, he just washed his face with ice water outside.

At this time, he had a guilty look on his face.

"Sorry, I……"

Zhao Xueying couldn't stop crying.

"I thought you were different from them, but I didn't expect you..."

Wanyan Lie was already in a bad mood and said angrily: "I told you a long time ago not to be so naive. I am no different from them, we are all the same!"

Yes, he was just like them. On the day when Wan Yanmeng was buried, he was planning the same thing as them. He wanted to ascend to the throne of Khan. What was the difference between him and them?

This was one of the reasons why he was drunk in the Queen Mother's Palace today.

Zhao Xueying's eyes were red, and big tears rolled down her face.

Wanyan Lie sighed.

"Go to sleep, I won't touch you again."

Zhao Xueying watched him approach step by step.

"Then why don't you leave?"

Wanyanlie took off his shoes and lay down, while Zhao Xueying stayed far away.

"Now that the matter has come to this, why not let everyone know that you are my woman."

Zhao Xueying was thinking about what he meant when Wanyanlie suddenly sat up.

"you……"

Wanyan Lie stood up, opened the cabinet not far away, picked out a set of clothes and the clothes inside, threw them on the bed, and then turned his back.

"Change your clothes."

Her clothes were already in tatters.

"You go out for a moment."

She knew she couldn't change anything, but she still wanted to fight for the last bit of dignity for herself.

Wanyan Lie did not force himself and went to the outhouse.

Zhao Xueying changed her clothes as fast as she could in her life.

Wanyan Lie guessed the time and walked in. He saw Zhao Xueying lying flat on the bed, eyes wide open, thinking about something, and she was lost in thought.

He paused, took off his boots and got into bed, lying on the outside.

Just as he lay down, a soft voice sounded.

"Have you been...drugged?"

"Um."

"..."

"I'm sorry for you today. This will never happen again."

"Yeah. I believe you."

Does she always trust people so easily?!

"I have to do a complete show. I may stay at your place these days, but I won't touch you again."

"Um."

"Go to sleep."

"Um."

Zhao Xueying turned around, facing inward, with her back to him.

Wanyanlie turned his head and saw her long black hair like a waterfall, and her fair and delicate ears exposed between the hair. Hearing that she was still sobbing softly because of the painful cry just now, her shoulders were slightly moved by the sobs.

Shaking.

Thinking of the harm he had just done to her, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. This was a feeling that no woman had ever experienced before.

The next day, the Queen Mother administered the medicine, which led to the news that Wanyan Lie and the Princess of Liang had consummated their marriage, which became the talk of the people in Beijing after dinner.

Duoduo wanted to ask Wanyan Lie whether he was real or not. When he learned that Wanyan Lie was discussing something in the front hall, he chose the time when the meeting was over to find Wanyan Lie.

As soon as they arrived at the meeting hall, they heard the conversation between Wanyan Lie and Wanyan Xuan.

"Fourth brother, you are indeed in high spirits during happy events."

Wanyan Lie said calmly: "That's what the seventh brother is like. Just now at the court meeting, he responded to everything at once and was unanimously recognized by all the ministers."

"This can't compare to Fourth Brother's gentleness. Fourth Brother has never been close to women, and this time is an exception. But being caught in a weakness is not a good thing after all."

"Women are like clothes. You can change them at any time if you don't like them. It's just a woman, it's not worth mentioning."

Duoduo couldn't listen anymore, walked out from behind the screen, clenched her fists and asked: "Fourth brother, what are you talking about?"

Wanyan Lie glanced at Wanyan Xuan indifferently and walked away without saying anything.

Wanyanxuan looked at the backs of Wanyanlie and Duoduo, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Wanyanxu walked out of the darkness.

"Seventh brother, a small impatience will ruin a big plan. If you ascend to the position of Khan, you will naturally have no shortage of women. Besides, we Jin people have a tradition of brother-in-law marrying a widowed sister-in-law since ancient times."

Wanyanxuan looked at Wanyanxu coldly.

"Being smart."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Wanyan Xu with a cold back.

Although Wanyanxu is two years older than Wanyanxuan, he has never received the respect his brother deserves.

After Wanyan Xuan left, Wanyan Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous message.

Duoduo catches up with Wanyan Lie.

"Fourth brother, did you really consummate your marriage with Xueying yesterday?"

Wanyanlie stood still.

"Children should not interfere with adults' matters."

Duoduo snorted coldly.

"Child? Xueying and I are the same age."

Wanyan Lie stopped continuing this topic and said, "I still have something to do. In short, what I heard with my own ears may not be true."

Duoduo looked at Wanyanlie's upright back.

"What on earth do you mean by that?!"

Duoduo came to the place where Boyan was handling official business again and asked Wanyan Lie if he was sincere to Zhao Xueying.

Boyan was so troubled by this eldest lady that he had no choice but to say: "The handsome man is a person who does important things. How can he be distracted by the love of a man and a woman?"

Although she didn't say it clearly, Duoduo already understood that Wanyanlie didn't take Zhao Xueying seriously at all.

It's a shame that she gave the two of them some space to be alone a few days ago, which was really stupid.

There is a very tall locust tree in the yard where Zhao Xueying lives. The trunk is black, as thick as two people hugging each other, and it is at least hundreds of years old. The branches are crisscrossed in the crown, and the leaves are dense. It is late autumn, the leaves turn yellow, and the autumn wind blows.

, then it began to rain leaves.

She was reading under the tree with her clothes on, but she was in a daze and looked like she was lost.

Duoduo stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the lifeless Zhao Xueying, and thought of the frost-beaten roses.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Xueying turned to look at Duoduo and forced a smile, but her smile was uglier than crying.

"You came."

Duoduo walked up to her and took out the book in her hand. They all contained Chinese characters she didn't recognize. It was really boring, so she handed it to her again.

Seeing a piece of silk wrapped around Zhao Xueying's neck, she raised her hand and pulled it off.

Zhao Xueying exclaimed, covered her neck with one hand, pulled the ribbon back from Duoduo's hand with the other, and wrapped it around her neck in a hurry.

The snow-white neck was covered with purple marks of abuse, and Duoduo's whole body was frozen there.

These traces are enough to show Wanyan Lie's brutality and savagery.

It seems that Wanyan Lie really has no sincerity towards Zhao Xueying. Otherwise, how could he have the heart to destroy the person he loves so much?

Duoduo squatted down, looked up at Zhao Xueying, and said seriously: "Do you want to leave here?"

Surprise flashed across Zhao Xueying's eyes, and there seemed to be a bright light that lit up and then went out.

Although she didn't say anything, Duoduo already understood.

"I can help you leave and return to Liang Kingdom."

Zhao Xueying shook her head and said, "You can't go back."

"It depends on people. You believe me, it will be possible. Now you just need to tell me if you are willing."

Zhao Xueying hesitated for a moment and felt that instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it would be better to give it a try and maybe carve out a future for herself.

"I do."
