Chapter 457: I Originally Thought You Would Never Lie to Me in Your Life
The sudden firelight frightened Xiling Yue, she subconsciously turned around, and saw a white-clothed figure standing at the end of the narrow stone room, thin and long, tall and tall, with her left hand behind her back, which was Xiao Yi's usual standing posture, as always.
The flames of the flames were sprinkled on his handsome face, and the bridge of his tall nose cast a heavy shadow, making him look extremely gloomy.
What a contradictory temperament! He is light and light, and at the same time he is vigorous and gloomy, and his eyebrows are gathered in the wind and clouds.
"Yue'er," he said lightly, "I said I wanted you to come to me alone. ”
Xiling Yueqiang suppressed her panic and asked, "What happened to the prince?" ”
"Care so much about him?" Xiao Yi let out a sarcastic smile.
Xilingyue was a little stunned of him, her lips were pursed, and her expression was defensive.
Xiao Yi took a step forward slowly: "Father wants to see him." ”
Father-in-law wants to see Li Chengxuan? Is it to negotiate? Then his life should be worry-free for the time being. Thinking of this, Xiling Yue's heart was a little relieved, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yi was stung by her reaction, and her eyes darkened: "You are really in love with him." ”
Xiling Yue's back was pressed against the stone gate and there was no response.
Seeing her acquiesce, Xiao Yi's voice became tighter: "I originally thought that you would only love me in this life." ”
"I thought you wouldn't lie to me in your life." She retorted.
This sentence was like a sharp needle, piercing Xiao Yi's heart, and he couldn't help but explain: "I have a hard time...... I was taken advantage of by my father. When I was a child, my father told me about the existence of 'His Royal Highness Kangxing', and he said that our Xiao family has been loyal to His Highness for generations, and taught me to uphold the family style...... For more than ten years, I can only accept it as an only son. For this responsibility, I underwent the most rigorous training. Of course, you don't know, my father said that you are not the Xiao family, let me hide it from you. So, I read and practiced calligraphy as usual during the day, and after night, I practiced martial arts with my master, riding horses, archery, short knives, and secret weapons...... Come rain come shine. Later, when you fell from a horse and were injured, my father used this as an excuse for me to start studying medical poison. Xiao Yi finally had the opportunity to talk about the hardships of the past ten years, but he was surprisingly calm.
Then his mood gradually fluctuated: "Later, as we grew up, you liked to cling to me, and my father never stopped me." I asked several times, and my father said that you and I will get married sooner or later, and there is no need to worry about the defense of men and women. I was very happy and upset because I was constantly injured in training and distracted from studying medicine, so I had less and less time to spend with you. In order not to let you find out, my father and I racked our brains to hide from you, and sometimes when we were injured, we went out to recuperate for a while, but you always thought that I was traveling and practicing medicine. Xiao Yi said this, and his face also showed warmth, "Although those days were bitter, I was willing to eat it." ”
With his words, Xiling Yue also recalled the past years. Xiao Yi is indeed very busy, and she doesn't have much time to spend with her, and she can't see him once in ten days and a half months after studying medicine. And she was also learning to take care of the business at that time, and she never suspected the reason for it when she was busy, but when he was the only son in the family, her father-in-law wanted his son to become a Chan and was strict with him, but she didn't expect him to go through such a hard work.
"What about Li Wangzhen? What about Liu Pi's rebellion? What's going on? That's the question she wants to know the most.
"You may not believe it when you say it," Xiao Yi laughed at himself slightly, "Before you went to Zhenhai, I was kept in the dark like you, thinking that all this was true. I even asked my father why His Highness Kang Xing didn't help us, why he never showed up! Recalling the difficult situation at that time, Xiao Yi's eyes had turned red, "Do you know what my father said?" He said that everything was in the hands of His Highness. ”
"I believed it at the time, I thought that the marriage with Ziqing would definitely be abandoned, because His Highness would help us. I even thought that after my father was released from prison, he would end Jinxiuzhuang and we would go to seclusion together! ”
"But I never thought that His Royal Highness Kang Xing would be you." In the last sentence, he said bitterly and helplessly.
Both clear and philosophical, in order to protect his body. Sleepy night bandits, to do things alone. His father gave him the word "Jiming", always reminding him to be loyal to His Royal Highness Kangxing, but he never told him that the master of the Xiao family was actually a woman, his childhood sweetheart and most beloved sister-in-law!
The moment he learned the truth, he felt a sense of despair.
I still remember that last year Xiling Yue left a book and ran away, saying that he was going to find Li Wangzhen, he was returning to Xichuan from Ziqing, and missed the opportunity to meet her.
But his father stopped him and told him all the truth. Only then did he realize that even Xilingyue went to Zhenhai was arranged by his father! 's father deliberately revealed Li Wangzhen's whereabouts, which provoked her to run away from home in a fit of anger, and all this was because Li Chengxuan was about to arrive in Zhenhai with Guo Zhongting!
The father calculated that both parties would go to Li Qi's mansion, and he wanted to take this opportunity to create a chance encounter, so that Xilingyue could impersonate the daughter of the eldest princess and go to Chang'an to recognize the Guo family! Then, they can take the opportunity to climb up to the Guo family, and then use the Guo family to win over the ministers of the DPRK and China, and subtly use them to rebel against them.
After the authorities stabilized, my father would go to a showdown with the Guo family and formally seek cooperation. By then, the Guo family had already fallen into the mud, raised the orphan of the Wu family as a daughter, and did a lot of things for the orphan of the Wu family, and it would be too late to regret it. They could only continue to cooperate with their father until they completely turned their backs on the Li Tang royal family.
And Xiling Yue will also learn the truth in due course. At that time, the consequences of her identity exposure will completely destroy the Guo and Xiao families, and her father is sure that Xiling Yue is affectionate by nature, and he will never sit idly by, so he can only follow his plan.
How ridiculous! Xi Lingyue, Li Qi, the Guo family, and even his own son are just pawns in his father's hands, without exception!
Xiao Yi can still remember the feelings of that day, the sadness and pain that welled up from the bottom of his heart. When more than twenty years of faith turned into a huge deception, when the owner of his allegiance became the most beloved woman...... This is what really cut off his back road, so that he can never turn back.
"Because the Father knows that you have a gentle heart, he will hide from you to this day. You have to think clearly, if you give up just like that, you and Yue'er will never be able to do it again. ”
His father's words pierced deep in his heart word by word, provoking him to speak: "But now it is impossible for me and Yue'er." She is His Royal Highness Kangxing, but I became Ziqing's son-in-law. ”
"Not necessarily, once the plan for her father succeeds, Li Wangzhen will have no value, and she must not live in this world. Of course, even if her father doesn't do it, she won't live long with her body. At that time, his father said that, and deliberately added a sentence, and it was that sentence that really moved him and prompted him to make up his mind to go on-
"Once Yue'er is successfully restored, you marry her again, and your heir will be the prince, isn't this a great joy?"
