Chapter 59: Hardship
Chapter 59 Love Difficulties
Soon, the news of King Wei's visit spread to the palace, and Wen Ya had just arrived at this time, and was discussing the security with him in Liu Xiu's room.
But when she heard Liu Ziyu come with King Wei, she stood up all of a sudden, her face pale.
And even if he was as calm as Liu Xiu, after hearing the news, he couldn't sit still.
Which one is Liu Hongwen singing? said that he respected Liu Xiu, the king of the empire, but he should have greeted him ten miles outside the city, but he didn't do it, but if he said that he was disobedient, and now he led the people to the palace to meet him, there is no great disrespect.
Liu Xiu frowned, subconsciously waved his hand, nodded to Wen Ya, and the two rushed to the door of the mansion together, surrounded by the surrounding attendants and errand officials, watching the approaching train in front of them.
The carriage soon arrived at its destination, and the people above came down one after another, Liu Xiu saw it in his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to pretend to have an indifferent smile expression, but his heart was still beating wildly involuntarily, and his hands turned gray from clenching hard.
After Liu Hongwen, the familiar and slightly unfamiliar graceful figure slowly walked down from the car, and the past instantly poured into his mind, and in a trance, he was still the ignorant young man, who was anxiously waiting for his beloved in front of the house, opened the sedan curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and then walked towards himself, threw himself into his arms, and laughed together.
In a trance, nothing has changed, and the person in front of him is looking at him with a smile, his eyebrows are full of love.
The heart beat violently, it turned out that he had never let go, the vows of his life, the promises of the moon before the flowers, at this moment, poured into his heart.
He couldn't hold back any longer, so he was going to open his arms, move forward, and hug the beautiful woman! I don't care about the country and the society, the people in the world, I don't want to be self-respecting, I just want to walk hand in hand with her, and I have gray hair for a lifetime!
However, vaguely, he saw Ziyu's hand, wrapped between the other fingers, it was a pair of men's hands.
It was the hand of Liu Hongwen, the king of Wei.
Liu Xiu's gaze tightened, and his heart was violently painful, but he also came to his senses.
Beside him, Wen Ya took in the changes on his face, and there was inexplicable sadness in his heart!
Ten years, a night of spring breeze, how much space does he occupy in his heart, and even, has he ever left a little space for her?
Tears slipped down in an instant, and the scene that I didn't want to see was still ahead of schedule after all.
She wiped her tears, took a step forward, and stood beside Liu Xiu.
He is already his person, so why should he surrender to others!
She pretended to be proud, tilted her head, pursed her lips, and moved forward!
Seeing this, Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, and watched Liu Hongwen join hands with the princess, followed by the four powerful ministers of the country, and walked towards him together.
Soon, they were in full view of everyone, in full accordance with the etiquette of the Han court, and called His Royal Highness a thousand years old.
King Wei and his princess bowed and saluted, and the others knelt on the ground, and everyone saluted Liu Xiu at the same time.
Liu Xiu finally glanced at Ziyu, who had been hanging his head silently, took a step forward, suppressed his slightly trembling voice, and said loudly:
"Everyone, please get up!"
Everyone got up at the same time and said in unison:
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Liu Xiu greeted Wei Wang and others at the door, and then let them into the room, and at the moment of entry, his eyes fell on the dressed woman behind Liu Hongwen, only to see the beautiful and unparalleled figure in this world, Liu Ziyu, who has an unrivaled appearance in the world, walked over pretty, and the beauty was suffocating.
When Liu Xiu saw her, she subconsciously smiled.
The two lowered their heads at the same time, and Liu Hongwen and Wen Ya on the side tightened their eyes and looked at the two people in unison.
The atmosphere became inexplicably tense.
Fortunately, Wa'er was clever, seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, he hurriedly pretended to be panicked and missed, and threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, the sound was not loud but very crisp, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were gathering towards him, Val made a frightened expression, fell to his knees, and exclaimed:
"Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life."
Liu Xiuhui calmed down, walked over, and said lightly:
"Get up."
Val thanked him and got up, and another attendant handed the tea again, and everyone sat down in turn.
Liu Xiu sat straight on the main seat, Wen Ya and Wa'er stood behind him, and in the guest seats, they were Wei Wang, Fang Zhenyao, Chen Fuxin, Song Xunwen and Sun Zhengwu in order.
When everyone was seated, King Wei was the first to speak, and confessed:
"A few days ago, I heard that His Royal Highness will come to defend the country, although he has been prepared, but I don't know which day, so that His Royal Highness came from afar, this king failed to meet him ten miles outside the city, I really deserve to die, fortunately, I got the news in time, saying that His Royal Highness's car has arrived, so I led his ministers to visit, fortunately, there was no delay, where it was rude, I hope His Highness will forgive his sins!"
Liu Xiu nodded after hearing this, how did he not know that there was something in King Wei's words, and he pleaded guilty on the surface, which was really disrespectful, and the dignified vassal king, if he didn't know the situation of the king driving and walking, it would be a strange thing.
But Liu Xiu still smiled:
"King Wei is polite, in fact, when I arrived at Wei Realm, I wanted to send a messenger to Dongping to deliver a letter and inform the distance of the carriages and horses, but I was bound by affairs and delayed the trip, so I dragged it down."
King Wei: "Oh? With a sigh, his brows immediately furrowed, and he said in surprise:
"I wonder what's going on? Can you miss Your Highness's itinerary? ”
Liu Xiu looked up and looked around, and Wa'er immediately understood, and led a group of attendants to bow down and retreat.
He turned his head to look at King Wei, and glanced at Liu Ziyu, who was silent, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his deep eyes, and his tone was cold:
"I don't know if King Wei knows about the cannibalism of people on Shili Street?"
King Wei and Song Xunwen glanced at each other, they were a little surprised, they knew that Liu Xiu would ask about this matter sooner or later, and even ask the teacher about the crime, but they didn't expect him to ask questions before he finished greetings, which surprised them.
Even Wen Ya was surprised when she heard this, she was thoughtful, and immediately understood, almost subconsciously looking at Princess Wei, Liu Ziyu, who was sitting beside King Wei, who was wringing her hands and bowing her head silently.
And King Wei immediately stood up, with a heavy expression, solemnly saluted Liu Xiu, and replied:
"His Royal Highness is so worried about the people, it is the blessing of the Han Dynasty, and the king only learned about this matter half a month ago.
He paused, took a step forward, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and said to Liu Xiu:
"But this king has other news, saying that there is another reason for Fengcheng's 'conscription', I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
Liu Xiu replied lightly:
"King Wei, please speak."
Liu Hongwen was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Song Xunwen standing up next to him, stepped in front of King Wei, and bowed to Liu Xiu:
"Your Royal Highness, since King Wei learned that such a tragedy had happened in Fengcheng and its surroundings, he was deeply furious, and often couldn't sleep at night, and his spirit was in a trance.
Liu Xiu sat there, motionless, Song Xunwen couldn't see the change in his demeanor, and he couldn't hear the difference between his tone and just now, he only heard a coldness, which revealed:
"Oh? Lord Song's words are serious, King Wei has always valued etiquette and etiquette, how can he 'misspeak and deed', but just now King Wei said that 'there is another reason for conscription', I don't know where the words came from? ”
Song Xunwen bowed and calmly replied:
"After learning of the 'conscription', King Wei immediately instructed the foreign ministers to supervise the matter, and the old ministers were ordered to set off, and went to Fengcheng and other counties overnight, after a lot of hard work, and finally together with the pavilion chiefs in various places, they successively caught a few criminal soldiers, according to them, to go to the village to 'borrow grain' and 'conscription' is under the orders of Your Highness."
Liu Xiu sneered after hearing this, and slowly stood up, his eyes were deep and distant, and he couldn't see the bottom, he stared at Song Xunwen for a long time, and he didn't speak, this kind of scene couldn't help but have no majesty at all, but it seemed to be debunked, speechless, and stood on the spot in annoyance and anger.
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became a little awkward, and even King Wei was stunned, not knowing how to speak.
And Liu Ziyu was still there pulling her clothes tightly and hanging her head, and she didn't look at the situation in the house, as if the people and things here had nothing to do with her.
Seeing this, Wen Ya frowned slightly behind Liu Xiu, then stretched out her hand, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and pulled it gently.
Just like the young third prince back then, when she saw that the emperor was so nervous that she even forgot to kneel, she gently pulled her clothes behind her to remind her.
Wen Ya suddenly had an illusion, as if she had been standing behind Liu Xiu like this all along, and had never been separated.
I really want to hold on to each other for the rest of my life, side by side.
At this time, in this place, she let out such an emotion.
Liu Xiu suddenly woke up, turned around, and smiled.
In an instant, Wen Ya's heart beat suddenly, a trace of joy flashed on her face, she subconsciously glanced at Liu Ziyu, who was sitting opposite with her head down, looking a little cramped, and she was a little proud in her heart, as if she won the candy competition with her brother when she was a child, showing a child's posture.
Liu Xiu coughed lightly, and in the eyes of everyone, he glanced at Song Xunwen deeply, only to see Song Xunwen standing solemnly and respectfully.
He then turned around slowly, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, only to see that everyone's expressions were different, and Chen Fuxin and Sun Zhengwu were even more stunned and couldn't believe it.
And Liu Ziyu seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little strange, and finally raised his head, his eyes were facing each other, and the two pairs of eyes seemed to blend together in an instant, no longer caring about others, and confiding in each other about parting melancholy.
King Wei's gaze tightened.
After a while, Liu Xiucai shook his head and continued to look, and finally his gaze fell on King Wei.
Liu Hongwen is frank.
Liu Xiu nodded to King Wei and said straight:
"I wonder how King Wei will deal with these 'rumor-mongers'?"
King Wei was stunned for a moment and said:
"Your Highness is laughing, the Fengcheng 'conscription' case is a serious matter, the trial has not been fruitful for half a month, and even the Holy Lord has not made a ruling, how can His Highness say that they spread rumors?"
Liu Xiu's eyes were like knives in an instant, piercing the air in front of him, his tone was cold and without warmth, and he replied coldly:
"Because I, like King Wei, care about the world, how can I be willing to do this self-destroying thing."
