Looking at Zhao Xi, who was so sad and self-reproachful, Luo Qing had no choice but to do her best to share the burden for him, "Lord Wang, if you don't let Qing'er go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, maybe Qing'er can persuade His Highness?" After all, the prince did this kind of thing because he protected Qing'er, His Royal Highness is a reasonable person, if he knew that you had to do something and were embarrassed, he would definitely forgive you. ”

With that, Luo Qing was about to stand up and go to Zhao Ling.

Zhao Xi stretched out his hand to grab her at this time, and said, "It's useless Qing'er, the third brother won't listen; I always thought that as long as I sincerely apologized, the third brother would give me another chance, but I was too naïve to think about it. I know why the third brother is so angry and disappointed in me. The third sister-in-law has no other relatives in the capital, after the accident of Chu Shizi, the only person the third sister-in-law can rely on is the third brother, but I appeared in front of the third sister-in-law after my father sent the imperial forest army to surround the Ling Wang's mansion and then stabbed a knife in her heart, such a ruthless, unrighteous and selfish act, even I can't really forgive, how can the third brother turn a blind eye to everything and forgive me like a nobody? In the end, I caused all this by myself, and I deserve to bear the current results. ”

Luo Qing didn't want to see Zhao Xi like this, especially when she heard what he said, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Lord Wang, Qing'er don't listen to you say this, say something rebellious, the person who should really be punished for this whole thing is not you, but the emperor, isn't it?"

Luo Qing was really angry, and said: "Your Majesty, he knows how deep the relationship between you and the crown prince is, and he knows that the crown princess also trusts you very much, and he knows that if you do this kind of thing, he is embarrassing you, and he is forcing you to do things against your will; But in order to achieve his own goals, he did not hesitate to threaten other people's lives to make you compromise; Just ask what father in the world would be so ruthless and persecute his own son so much. ”

"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Xi was frightened by Luo Qing's words, and he couldn't care about his uncomfortable mood on the spot, so he quickly covered Luo Qing's mouth and lowered his voice: "Are you crazy?" If you dare to say such a thing, if someone spreads it, you and Luofu will be in trouble. ”

Luo Qing looked at Zhao Xi with wide eyes, letting him cover his mouth, and his eyes that seemed to be able to speak were full of worry about him and dissatisfaction with Emperor Showa.

Facing Luo Qing, who was protecting him like a brave warrior, Zhao Xi finally realized at this moment how big a mistake he had made.

When he was coerced by his father, when he chose to help his father break up the third brother and third sister-in-law, he had already made a big mistake; However, he did not dare to be at that time, like a deserter, he did not dare to face his mistakes, put himself in the position of a fellow victim, and again and again wanted to exchange for the sympathy of others, so as to get forgiveness and mercy.

What the third brother said is right, a mistake is a mistake, and no reason can be an excuse to shirk mistakes and evade.

He was entangled and painful because he had done something wrong, but now he brought this pain to the people around him; Luo Qing is a dignified and decent lady, and no one knows better than him, but he brought his sadness to her, and even made her say such irrational words for himself; It's all his fault, his fault......

Zhao Xi hugged Luo Qing, who was looking at him in a daze, in his arms, and tears fell from his eyes: "Qing'er, I'm sorry, I won't let you worry so much in the future." ”

Luo Qing knew that the reason why Zhao Xi became what he is now was all because of her, if he didn't care about her too much, he wouldn't choose to accompany his brother, if it wasn't for loving her too much, he wouldn't be controlled by others; Her man has always lived a chic and wanton life, she heard her father say that after the abolition, he wanted to annihilate the truth in the court and seek the world for King Xuan, and most of the courtiers stood on the side of the Jiang family.

Even in such a dangerous situation, he was not afraid to stand up and dare to go against the abolition queen, such a man who was neither humble nor arrogant, tenacious and unyielding, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to protect her, how could he do something against his will?

Therefore, when he is in pain, she will not let herself leave him, let alone underestimate such a him, even if he will one day be identified by others as betraying the crown prince and the crown princess, she will let herself be his strong backing; Advance and retreat with him, share glory and disgrace.

"Lord Wang, Qing'er will always be with you, forever ......!"

Zhao Xi believes that Luo Qing's heart for himself, the little girl he loves, is naturally different from ordinary women.

It's just that after waking up, after knowing how seriously wrong he had done wrong, how could he selfishly make himself happy, and watch his third brother and third sister-in-law have lovers separated by two places?

Therefore, at the moment when he hugged Luo Qing tightly, Zhao Xi's heart was also full of deep guilt, because he knew that what he was about to say next would be very cruel to her.

"Qing'er, I can't marry you now."

Luo Qing was meekly leaning on Zhao Xi's arms listening to his steady heartbeat, and suddenly all his thoughts were interrupted by his words, and the whole person became tense because of his words, and raised his head to look at him with wide eyes: "Lord Wang, you, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhao Xi knew how cruel his decision was to her, but there was really no way for him to care about himself and nothing else at this time.

"It's my fault that the third brother and the third sister-in-law are separated, even if I had a lot of unavoidance and hardships at the beginning, what I did wrong is what I did wrong, and no reason can erase the fact that I did something wrong; Since childhood, the prince who taught us many princes to read has taught us that a manly man is in the world, and the first thing to learn is to be a person and take responsibility, if I don't even dare to face my own mistakes, and even lose the courage to take responsibility, then I am not even a person. ”

"Qing'er, from now on, I will go all out to find the whereabouts of my third sister-in-law, until I find her, until I bring her back to my third brother, I am not qualified to talk about my happiness; So Qing'er, is it okay for us to postpone our wedding date? When I find my third sister-in-law, and when I forgive my mistakes, I will definitely give you the grandest wedding and tell the whole world that you are the only princess of my Zhao Xi in my life. ”

Luo Qing wanted to say that she was not shocked, it was definitely false, she had always known that the prince had a pivotal weight in Zhao Xi's mind, otherwise Zhao Xi would not have such a strong sense of guilt and apology, but she never thought that that guilt would make Zhao Xi make such a decision to postpone their marriage?

You must know that the capital is a place of right and wrong, and any little wind and grass may be passed on by people with a heart.

She gave Zhao Xi a marriage as the daughter of a courtier, which made many ladies in the capital who admired King Xi's demeanor chew the root of her tongue in private, and she didn't pay attention to these words at all before, and she didn't even care about listening to them; Because she knew that those words were just some good people making things up behind their backs.

Anyway, as long as she can marry Zhao Xi smoothly and live a peaceful and happy life with him after marriage, those gossips will naturally be self-defeating.

However, she didn't expect that Zhao Xi would make such a request to her before her wedding; She could understand the anguish in his heart, and she could understand that he was trying to make amends to the crown prince and the crown princess, but did he know that if he did this, what would those people who were waiting behind her back to see her jokes say?

At that time, she didn't know if she could still take those words as a deaf ear and not listen to or think about them, let alone if she could still be immovable and unchanging her original intention under those malicious slanderous words.

Zhao Xi also knew how cruel his proposal was to Luo Qing, but he really couldn't marry her at this time; thought that he was going to have candles in the cave room and a beautiful woman by his side, but the third brother had to bear the loneliness after the third sister-in-law left; As soon as he thought of this, he regretted that he couldn't hit his head against the wall; I can't let time go back to the past, when the time comes, he will definitely come up with a foolproof plan to protect his beloved little girl while helping the third brother protect the third sister-in-law.

However, these naïve ideas can never be realized, and there is no way for him to go back in time and start all over again.

Right now, the only thing he can do is to do his best to make amends; It's just that if he does this, his beloved woman will be wronged with him; He was reluctant, and he felt uncomfortable, but these were all things he had to carry, even if it was full of thorns, he couldn't let himself escape and retreat.

Zhao Xi looked at Luo Qing apologetically, put his hands on her shoulders, and said in a firm tone, obviously having made up his mind, and said, "Qing'er, I know I'm sorry for you, but I really can't marry you with a smile at this time." From the very beginning, I should have understood that after I did something wrong, the first thing I did was not to ask for forgiveness from the third brother, but to help the third brother get the third sister-in-law back, which is what I should do; It's a pity that I understood it too late, and I didn't realize it until I was ruthlessly abandoned by the third brother. I know that I have caused a lot of harm to the third brother, and I am no longer naïve enough to beg for his forgiveness, all I ask for is a clear conscience. ”

Luo Qing looked at Zhao Xi with tears in her eyes and asked, "Lord Wang, do you know that if your marriage date is postponed, the gossip about you and me in the capital will be very loud, what should I do when the time comes?" ”

Looking at Luo Qing with tears, Zhao Xi was really distressed, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her thumb, promising her: "Qing'er, don't cry, I know the pressure Qing'er is under; Therefore, I will get the third sister-in-law back as soon as possible. And I have also found a reason for us to postpone the marriage, my father has been in poor health recently, and as a child, I should be filial piety by his side at this time; I will ask the people of Qin Tianjian to find an excuse, just say that if you want to protect the health of my father's dragon body, the royal family and clan must not have red and white things to interfere with it in the near future. When the time comes, our wedding date will naturally be postponed, and those gossips in the capital will not dare to slander you openly. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Xi's voice lowered, and he couldn't help lowering his head and gently kissing Luo Qing's forehead, his eyes were full of distress: "Qing'er, I know that all this is wronged by you, you have done so much for me, I shouldn't have treated you like this again; But, at the moment, I am in such a mood that I really can't get married to you without distractions, Qing'er, you believe me, I will definitely make you my Zhao Xi's wife, in this life, I will not marry you. ”
