Xi Lingyue felt very guilty and sad, so she could only say sincerely: "Lord Wang, no matter who I am, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and you don't have to be like this in the future." ”

Li Chengxuan turned his eyes to look at the lights under the corridor: "One Zhongting, plus you, run to my mansion two times in three days, what will the saint think?" He drank all the wine in the cup and reminded cautiously, "Remember, in the future, your words and deeds represent the Guo family and my imperial sister, so you must be cautious." ”

Xiling Yue burst into tears when she heard this: "The royal family is so complicated...... I knew it was ......," she stopped suddenly, not finishing.

"Yes, I knew it was ......" Li Chengxuan snorted slightly, and didn't continue. After a while, he smiled again, "But it's not all without benefits, at least your stepfather's family business is saved." ”

Xilingyue didn't know that the eldest princess and his wife would always help in order to thank the Xiao family for their nurturing kindness.

"I used to think that I was abandoned by my parents, but now that I know the truth and know that they have been looking for me, I ......" Xilingyue couldn't tell what she felt, and seemed to have joy, excitement, relief, and apprehension and anxiety.

Li Chengxuan saw that she was in a complicated mood and comforted: "Not all orphans can find their biological parents...... You're in luck. ”

"yes, I've been lucky." It's just that her heart is suddenly a little stuffy, and her expression becomes lost, "You know what? I'm moving out tomorrow. ”

"Hmm." Li Chengxuan naturally knew, "My imperial sister and brother-in-law are very good people, and you will definitely like your new identity." ”

"Really?" Xilingyue asked lightly, she didn't know what the answer was. She had so many emotions mixed in her heart that even she couldn't tell whether it was sad or happy, bitter or sweet.

She had to start another topic: "That Atsui and Adan ......"

"They'll go with you."

"What did they do wrong?"

Li Chengxuan didn't say it directly, but said, "You just think I'm looking for a reason to drive them away." ”

"But I've heard...... They are your ......" Xiling Yue was difficult to say after all.

Li Chengxuan sneered: "Concubine? I don't lack it yet. ”

Xiling Yue was a little embarrassed.

Li Chengxuan seemed to remember something, and a trace of gloom flashed on his face: "Actually...... I've had a woman. ”

This surprised Xiling Yue. She always thought that Li Chengxuan was not close to women, and the rumors outside that he deliberately let go. She didn't know why he was bringing it up, and she didn't know if he should ask any more questions.

However, Li Chengxuan said to himself: "In order to reassure the imperial brother over the years, I have been pretending to be a wandering wreck, frequently going in and out of the Qinglou Jì Pavilion, but only letting one woman accompany me. ”

"Her name is Linglong." He named it.

"Linglong...... "Xilingyue repeated, "it's a good name." ”

"Outsiders say that she is my forbidden body, but in fact, we have always treated each other politely, and everything is a show for the royal brother."

"And then?" Xilingyue suddenly felt that this story would not end too well.

"Later," Li Chengxuan fell into his memory, "Later, I wanted to help her get out of slavery and admit her into the house...... I think I ruined her reputation and I should be responsible for her. ”

Xilingyue nodded: "This is as it should be." As soon as the words fell, she saw Li Chengxuan's sad color.

"But she had a sweetheart at the time, but she didn't tell me, and I also mentioned it to the queen mother......" Li Chengxuan said this, and his sadness was even stronger, "The queen mother sent someone to check on her, thinking that she had lost me, so she ...... Executed. ”

"Execution?!" Xiling Yue was shocked, "That'...... What about her sweetheart? ”

"Now that I am an official in the DPRK, I hate me to the core."

"Who is it?" Xiling Yue felt a pang of worry.

Li Chengxuan didn't answer, only looked at her with complicated eyes, and said with a straight face: "Since then, I have decided that I will only marry one person in this life...... Someone with whom I have a mutual affection. I wouldn't ask for any other women. ”

He looked at Xiling Yue and said very seriously: "Therefore, Ah Cui and Adan have no future with me, so it is better to give it to you, I don't think you will treat them badly." Only you, the queen mother, will not blame me. ”

Hearing this, Xiling Yue finally understood what he meant. Ah Cui and Adan are the people given to Li Chengxuan by the Queen Mother, even if he makes a mistake, he can't just give it to others, and he is reluctant to come. Only himself, is the lost granddaughter of the Queen Mother, when she first arrived in Chang'an, there was no willing person to serve, he gave it to her under the banner of her uncle, and the Queen Mother not only will not blame, but will feel more sorry for her granddaughter.

This is a double win, not only to find a good way out for Atsui and Adan, but also to arrange proper manpower for himself, so that he can adapt to his new identity and life as soon as possible.

Xilingyue was moved by Li Chengxuan's intimacy, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. A stream of heat immediately rose in her abdomen, driving away some of the cold, and she felt a lot warmer around her, so she asked again: "Then will I have to ...... with Guo in the future?" Like Brother Zhongting, what about calling you uncle? ”

Li Chengxuan smiled again: "Whatever you want, a title can't change anything." ”

Xiling Yue pursed her lips, struggling for a long time in her heart, and finally asked a certain question. She thought about this question for several hours, and as she sat in the garden, her legs stiffened, and she could not think of a reason to convince herself.

"Lord Wang......" she asked hesitantly, "Are you worried about my marriage because you have become my uncle?" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengxuan's expression was slightly sluggish, his eyes were silent, and he only held the wine glass in his hand very tightly, and his slender knuckles were faintly blue. After a while, he slowly raised his head, and saw that Xiling Yue's eyes were full of confusion, incomprehension, and suspicion.

He always knew that she was a beauty, especially with a pair of smart eyes. From the day he met her, all her emotions were presented in those eyes, good and bad, simple and complex, he could see through it at a glance. It was also because these eyes impressed him too deeply that in the dungeon of the Jiedu Embassy, he would recognize her at a glance, so as to untie her scarf and have more entanglements with her.

She once said that he could read minds, but no, he just liked to read her, and he could read it. There were many things he thought he had done so bluntly enough that others could see them, and she was the only one who was still dull and ignorant.

Before, he always hoped that she would figure it out; Now, he hopes she will never understand again for the rest of her life.

Why worry about her marriage...... The question was too simple and too complicated, and he wanted to pretend to find a reason easily, but unfortunately he couldn't. Looking at such a pair of clear eyes, his mask also produced cracks, revealing his heart that was difficult to hide.

He could only reply with difficulty: "Xiling, there are some things in this world that can only be understood, and once you say it, you will lose everything." ”

Xi Lingyue became more and more confused when she heard it, as if she understood it or not, she thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to have anything to do with her problem, and it seemed to be related. She had no choice but to be ignorant and continue to think in her heart.
