Episode 2: Xiangliu guesses Xiaoyao’s identity

Dixuan personally cooked Xiyan dishes for the ministers and sincerely explained the reasons why he decided to move the capital. The ministers were moved by Dixuan’s sincerity and changed their minds.

They began to support Dixuan. After the five kings heard the news, they decided to fight a desperate battle and wanted to unite the old Xiyan tribe who disagreed with moving the capital to return to Xiyan and establish themselves as kings.

Xiang Liu promised Xiao Yao to remove the poisonous insect, but he hoped to have a meal with her. Xiao Yao agreed. As soon as they sat down, they met Tu Shan Jing and Li Rong Chang.

After Li Rong Chang sat down, he began to persuade Hao Ling Jiu Yao earnestly, hoping that she could let go of her obsession with Fang Feng Bei and consider his brother Tu Shan Jing instead.

However, Hao Ling Jiu Yao was very dissatisfied with Li Rong Chang’s words that belittled Xiang Liu, so she resolutely interrupted him and confessed that she had already made an engagement with Chi Shui Feng Long.

Hearing this news, Li Rong Chang suddenly realized that she was actually the noble Princess Hao Ling. For a moment, he was at a loss and fell into silence.

At this time, the old man beside him suddenly sang a melodious folk song, which was full of nostalgia and admiration for Chi Chen. Li Rongchang saw this and hurriedly stopped him, fearing that the song would bring back some unpleasant memories.

However, Hao Ling Jiuyao said that she would forget all this when she left this door. She didn’t want to dwell on the grievances of the past, and just wanted to cherish the person in front of her.

Afterwards, she left with Xiang Liu. Xiang Liu told her that the old man was actually Li Rongchang’s uncle, who was once a brave general under Chi Chen, and that he lost his arm in the fierce battle of Jizhou.

After hearing this, Hao Ling Jiuyao couldn’t help but feel a complex emotion in her heart. She knew the heaviness of history and the cruelty of war, and she also understood the pain in the old man’s heart.

She told Xiangliu to be careful and not put himself in danger. Xiangliu responded gently, asking her to pay more attention to herself and not always worry about others. The two smiled at each other, walked out of the room hand in hand, and welcomed the challenges and unknowns of the future.

Hao Ling Jiuyao stared at Xiang Liu, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, and asked him if he felt that he should not marry Chishui Fenglong. Xiangliu shook his head gently, indicating that he had no such intention.

Hao Ling Jiuyao’s eyes flickered, and she asked tentatively, if she didn’t marry Chishui Fenglong, who should she marry? Xiangliu was silent for a moment and did not give a direct answer.

Hao Ling Jiuyao said to herself that no matter who it was, this person must not have a family, and must not be an enemy of her brother. At this time, Hao Lingyi’s call came from a distance. Xiangliu smiled bitterly, turned around and left lonely.

In the court, all the ministers were persuaded by Xiyan Xuan, and no one went to the banquet of the five kings. The relocation of the capital went smoothly, and the five kings had no choice but to obey, and finally decided to retire and return to Xiyan City.

Xinyue came to visit Xiyan Xuan, and Xuan did not ignore her because he might need the help of her family in the future.

The old King of Xiyan hoped that Xuan could persuade Xiangliu to surrender. Xuan sent Xiangliu’s friends to persuade him, but Xiangliu resolutely refused. Xiangliu then went to see the one-armed old man. The old man asked him whether the poison in his body was planted by Xiaoyao, and Xiangliu admitted it frankly.

The old man advised them to go to the Baili tribe as soon as possible to find the witch king to remove the poison. Xiangliu wondered why the Baili people had strange temperaments and would remove the poison for outsiders. The old man revealed that as long as the witch king saw Xiaoyao, he would agree.

Xiangliu noticed something strange and asked about the relationship between Xiaoyao and Chichen. The old man was silent for a moment, saying that they had different positions and there was no hope. Don’t be like the general, who was sincere but ended up fighting to the death on the battlefield.

Xiangliu was shocked and lost, and shook his head bitterly, asking the old man not to worry. Xiangliu knew that the person in Xiaoyao’s heart was not him at all. He picked up the bottle of wine and drank to drown his sorrows.

Xiaoyao has not left her house recently and has lost interest in everything. Dixuan noticed her changes and came to show concern. Xiaoyao confessed that she always thought of the days in Qingshui Town and Chaoyun Palace and missed those good times.

She didn’t want to dwell on the past, but she couldn’t help missing Seventeen. She hated her current weakness and incompetence. Dixuan comforted her distressedly, hoping that someone could heal the pain brought to her by Tushan Jing and let her believe that she was valued, cherished and loved.

This could not be abandoned in any case. Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said that she had been unlucky since she was a child, and she didn’t dare to hope for such a thing. Dixuan gently comforted her, but he regretted it in his heart.

He knew that she would cry because of Tushan Jing today, and he would never give him the opportunity to get close to Xiaoyao. Now, looking at the sad Xiaoyao, he hated Tushan Jing and hated himself at the same time.
