Chapter 174
Mrs. Zhenguo sighed: "The Si Hong family was born and died for the Qi country, and in the end, it is just a chess piece in the eyes of the emperor!" β
Si Hongrui wanted to speak and stopped, turned around silently, and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back in contemplation.
When the emperor was still a prince, he had a life-saving grace for him. After taking the throne, he never treated the Sihong family poorly. But on the other hand, he also sacrificed two siblings for the Qi State, if it weren't for Xia Qingyun's fate, his daughter would have died tragically on the border.
For so many years, he and Huguo Gong and Si Hong Bowen have been traveling east and west to fight on the battlefield, and have made great contributions to the protection of the frontier of Qi State. And this qiΔ is insignificant in the face of royal interests.
As a king, he may be justified in doing this, but can he bear to let his daughter marry far away and be married?
For sixteen years, he and his wife missed it every day, and sent people to look for it whenever they had the opportunity. Finally reunited with his daughter, he once vowed that if God let him find his daughter, he would protect her for the rest of his life!
Si Hongrui turned around with an unusually firm expression, "Madam, I will go to the palace and return to the emperor and tell Qingyun's life experience." Even if you fight for this old life, you can't send Qingyun to kiss! β
"Daddy think twice!" Xia Qingyun hurriedly stopped, "The matter is not until the last moment, you must not make such a decision." β
You must know that there is no DNA testing here, so the emperor will not change his mind just because you tell the truth, and maybe he will think it is Si Hongrui's excuse.
Moreover, even if the emperor believes it, he may be even more afraid of the power of the Si Hong family, let alone allow himself to marry Si Hong Bowen.
Mrs. Zhenguo also said, "Master." This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and the emperor must not be annoyed. In my opinion, I should beg the Queen Mother first, maybe the Queen Mother can move the emperor to change his mind. β
"That's fine." Si Hongrui couldn't think of any other way for a while.
Without further ado, Mrs. Zhenguo hurriedly instructed Chunxiu to help her make up, and hurriedly took a sedan chair to Cining Palace.
Xia Qingyun returned to his room and told SΓΉ Qingmei that except for Zhenguo and his wife and Si Hong Bowen, no one else was gone.
She flashed into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, sat on the Daqing Mountain, and looked at the vast blue sea of seven stars and fell into deep thought.
What if the emperor insists on making himself friendly? Sworn to the death? I'm afraid it didn't threaten the emperor. I lost my head first.
Escape? The Ruyi Treasure Pavilion is so big. Mother, they have no problem living in it for the rest of their lives. But what about the others, under the emperor's anger, maybe the nine clans will be involved, and those who have a relationship with him will be involved.
The husband and wife of the protector, the Hua family, the Yao family, the Tian family, the work and apprentices of the teahouse, and the people of Beixi Village, did they all hide in the treasure pavilion for the rest of their lives?
She looked up to the sky and sighed. In case of desperation. I had no choice but to make this decision. It is one that can save one. Anyway, there is no worry about food and clothing in the treasure pavilion, and they are all in their own control, which can always ensure that they live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
I was about to go down the mountain to soak in the hot springs. Suddenly, she heard Si Hongbowen's voice outside, she flashed back to the room and told Qingmei to invite him in.
Si Hong Bowen was still wearing court clothes, so it could be seen that he rushed over as soon as he returned home. His expression was gloomy and abnormal, he sat down at the table with his head bored, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Have you heard about Batu's proposal to the emperor?" β
Xia Qingyun pursed his lips and nodded, and sat down opposite him.
Si Hong Bowen slapped his palm on the table, "Damn, I shouldn't have let him go in the first place, I killed him with a knife, and there was no trouble!" β
Xia Qingyun wondered, "Have you seen Batu before?" β
"In the Battle of Gulunbao, Batu was a military division, and he was defeated and captured." Si Hong Bowen gritted his teeth, "He swore that he would persuade Su Heleke to surrender, and I would let him live, he dared to covet my woman, which is unbearable!" β
"I see!" Xia Qingyun nodded and smiled lightly, "He doesn't know about you and me, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the emperor for being cold-faced and ruthless." β
Si Hong Bowen was displeased when he heard this, and looked at her with a frown, "What?" You interceded for him? β
"I'm just talking about things. Don't worry, my mother has already entered the palace to intercede with the Queen Mother, and things may take a turn for the better. β
Si Hong Bowen had a gloomy face, "Turnaround? The emperor's mind is only on the land of Daqi and his own throne, if Batu wants to marry the third princess and the fourth princess, he can immediately agree. Even your own daughter is willing to give up, let alone you! β
Xia Qingyun persuaded: "Didn't the emperor agree immediately." What others say doesn't work, he can always listen to the Queen Mother's words. β
Si Hong Bowen snorted coldly, "That's not necessarily!" I have already thought that if the emperor really decrees that you will be married, I will resign from my official position and take you away to the end of the world. β
He stood up and walked up to Xia Qingyun and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Qingyun, even if the Emperor of Heaven descends to earth, he can't snatch you away from me!" β
Xia Qingyun was pressed against his broad chest, listening to his pounding heartbeat, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more settled. No matter how much wind and rain she encounters, the man in front of her will shelter her from the wind and rain. A faint flush appeared on her face, and the sweet and happy feeling drove away the sorrow just now.
The two snuggled up for a while, and Xia Qingyun wanted to push Si Hong Bowen away, but his arms held her tightly and he couldn't move.
Si Hong Bowen whispered in her ear: "Qingyun, don't leave me, I'm afraid that once I let go, I won't be able to catch you again." β
Xia Qingyun chuckled and said, "General Zhenyuan, why do you talk so childishly." You let go first, I have something to ask you. β
Si Hongbowen loosened his arms slightly, still holding her in his arms, "What do you want to ask?" β
Xia Qingyun pursed his lips and smiled, looking directly at his affectionate gaze, "Do you know what the county lord of Toya came to me for yesterday?" β
Si Hongbowen was stunned for a moment, he went back to the study yesterday to deal with the military newspaper, and he really didn't think to inquire about it.
"Lord Toya said she wants to marry you!" Xia Qingyun blinked to see how he reacted.
Si Hong Bowen's eyes fluttered, and he turned his lips and said: "Their brother and sister have a good vision, but it's a pity that General Ben has long been in his heart, not to mention the county lord of Toya, even the fairies in the sky are descending to earth, and I am not uncommon!" β
Xia Qingyun chuckled, "Look at you, the Emperor of Heaven for a while, the Immortal for a while, beware of God hearing it, really sending the Emperor of Heaven and the fairy down to earth!" β
"So what?" Si Hong Bowen glared, "You are mine, and I am only yours, no one can separate us!" β
Xia Qingyun's heart was extremely sweet, he gently leaned on his chest, and said in a low voice: "One life and one couple, we will not be separated." β
Before dinner, Mrs. Zhenguo came back from the palace, her eyes were red and swollen, and she knew that she had cried.
Xia Qingyun distressed and took the spring water to help her warm compress, Mrs. Zhenguo grabbed her hand and squeezed out a smile, "Don't be busy yet." You don't ask your mother, what did the Queen Mother say? β
Xia Qingyun coaxed: "Looking at my mother's appearance, I know that I must have cried in front of the Queen Mother." β
Mrs. Zhenguo stroked her chest and let out a long breath, "Fortunately, the Queen Mother is grateful for the old feelings and agreed to discuss with the emperor." The emperor is the most loyal and filial, and the queen mother's words can be listened to somewhat. If the emperor changes his mind, I will let you and Bowen get engaged immediately, and you can't wait any longer! (To be continued......)
