Chapter 688: Another dilemma
In the past two or three years, he has been staying by Xiao Lingyan's side. He really didn't know how this master met Miss Zhao, it seemed that the two of them suddenly had a deep affection for life and death without seeing each other, which was really incomprehensible to Xu Zhou.
But this is not important, the important thing is that he knows that Xiao Lingyan values Zhao Ruxi very much. Anything that touched her, he would be in a mess, just like he was now.
People say 'care about chaos', and it's really a wise saying!
"But I think the prince is imagining things too seriously." He said.
Xiao Lingyan stopped the wine glass in his hand and looked at Xu Zhou: "How do you say this?" ”
"Of course, if you marry Miss Zhao, it will increase the weight of our side to win the heir. But the power of Mr. Deadwood's faction is not big after all, only a few people, and it doesn't have much impact on the overall situation. Moreover, the relationship between master and apprentice, brother and sister is not a blood relationship, and Miss Zhao marrying you does not mean that Wu Huaisi, Gong Cheng and others will fall to us and become people of our faction. ”
On the other hand, the emperor attaches great importance to Mr. Deadwood and Miss Zhao, and if someone is unfavorable to her, the emperor will inevitably be furious, make a heavy note in his heart, and even directly kick him out of the ranks of successors. It is not good for Miss Zhao, the effect of damaging the enemy is not obvious, but the consequences are too serious, do you think the prince will do such a stupid thing? ”
"So, in the end, you take Miss Zhao too seriously."
Xiao Lingyan frowned: "You mean, the danger I brought to her after the marriage was not as serious as I imagined, right?" ”
Seeing that Xiao Lingyan finally understood what he meant, Xu Zhou nodded happily: "Yes." ”
"But it's still dangerous, isn't it?"
Xu Zhou: "......"
He didn't want to talk to the love brain.
"Even the slightest danger is something I can't bear." Xiao Lingyan shook her head, "You don't know what she means to me. ”
Xu Zhou: "......" He doesn't want to know, thank you.
"But Lord Wang, as long as you are like this, as long as she has something to do with you, then there is danger. Unless you let her marry someone else, there is always a danger. If you can't let go, then what we need to think about now is how to reduce the risk and not imagine that there is no problem. ”
This time it was Xiao Lingyan's turn to be speechless.
"Oh well. Let's talk about how to reduce risk. Xiao Lingyan sighed.
It's impossible to let go, not in this life. chased from the previous life to this life, and finally caught up, but in the end, he asked her to marry someone else, so he simply bought a piece of tofu and died.
In fact, there is another way not to bring danger to Zhao Ruxi, Xu Zhou did not say, that is, he gave up the identity of the prince.
If he is not the prince and does not participate in the seizure of the heir, then there is no danger.
Xu Zhou didn't say it, probably because he was worried that he would really abandon this identity and escape by dying to get rid of all this.
But although he is a love brain now, he also knows that this identity is not something he can throw away if he wants to. As long as he is Xiao Yu's son, and he has the dragon blood that the ancients said, then no matter what, he can't get rid of the fate of taking the heir. Those who feared that he would take the throne would not allow him to live in this world. Losing this identity, he and Zhao Ruxi are even more dangerous.
So it is useless to escape, you can only face it.
Xu Zhou stretched out a finger and said, "First, you immediately go to the emperor and ask for marriage." As long as the emperor gives you a marriage, Miss Zhao's status as a princess has been decided, and has been approved by the emperor, those people will not dare to act rashly. ”
Xiao Lingyan nodded.
Although the status of the princess will bring danger to her, it is also a talisman.
"Second, as the concubine said, seek refuge from the emperor. But it's not you or the concubine who is looking for it, it's Mr. Deadwood. ”
Xu Zhou looked at Xiao Lingyan: "So the procedure for marrying should be, you go and explain to the emperor, saying that you admire Miss Zhao's talent and want to marry Miss Zhao." The emperor went up to ask Mr. Deadwood for marriage, but Mr. Deadwood did not agree; The emperor begged again, but Mr. Deadwood refused, so he finally agreed to the family matter, but asked the emperor to guarantee the safety of Miss Zhao. In this way, Miss Zhao's safety is guaranteed to a certain extent. ”
He showed a smile that was playful: "How to make the emperor willing to ask for marriage for you again and again, it depends on your performance." ”
The corners of Xiao Lingyan's mouth hooked up a smug amplitude: "Don't worry about this, this king will live up to his expectations." ”
After getting along in the past two years, his relationship with Xiao Qi has greatly improved. Putting aside the entanglement of royal interests, Xiao Qi is actually a good father, and he can feel his sincere love for his son.
For his family affairs, Xiao Qi was not less anxious to get angry. Now he likes a girl, and she is a girl that Xiao Qi himself admires very much, and he will only be happy when he thinks about it, and he will not stop him.
In the past, he may have suppressed them for the sake of Xiao Lingheng. But in the battle last winter, Xiao Lingheng's impression in Xiao Qi's heart was greatly reduced, and Xiao Qi would definitely not let him, a person who has no ambition for the throne, not even have a happy marriage for Xiao Lingheng now.
Zhao Ruxi doesn't marry him, and the person he marries may be the prince or someone from Xiao Lingheng's faction, which will make Xiao Yu even more headache. Marrying him, he believes that Xiao Qi is happy to see it.
"But ......" Xu Zhou smiled and said with a straight face, "Although with the protection of the emperor, Miss Zhao's danger has been reduced, but the danger still exists." The other factions will not watch our faction go smoothly, and they will always make some trouble. ”
The smile on the corner of Xiao Lingyan's mouth disappeared.
"So Lord Wang, don't you feel aggrieved that you put your most beloved girl in danger, but only to add chips to His Royal Highness King An's succession? The two of you have paid so much, and in the end, King An ascends the throne and is suspicious of you, how can you deal with yourself? He needs your help now, so good for you; What about later? ”
"Lord, people can change. So the subordinates felt that instead of making wedding dresses for others, it was better to find a way to sit in that position themselves. ”
Xiao Lingyan glanced at Xu Zhou expressionlessly.
Xu Zhou is good at everything, but he tricks him into becoming the emperor every day, instead of giving the opportunity to Xiao Lingpu.
"Let's talk about it." He said, but sighed in his heart.
He doesn't want to be an emperor, he just wants to be an idle king, eat and drink, and then have some industrial revolution with his daughter-in-law. Life is too short, what is it like to be tired all day long?
But after Xiao Lingpu came back from the border pass and found that his father liked him more and more like him, Xiao Lingyan felt that this brother had gradually changed.
Whoever has it is better to have it than to have it yourself. He understands that. But he was really reluctant to tell him to work hard and then be tired and tired after grabbing the throne.
He believed that Zhao Ruxi did not like him to become emperor.
