Chapter 62: Helping the Prince to Ascend the Throne Together
In the silent night, even the wind was extraordinarily gentle, Zhang Luo took Xue Qing in his arms and flew in the direction of Rui Wangfu.
King Rui's Mansion was heavily guarded, but Zhang Luo and Xue Qing were able to easily evade the guards and come directly to King Rui's study.
In the study, King Rui was studying the art of war under the lamp.
King Rui was an extremely self-disciplined man, and he would find time every day to learn the art of war and tactics, and his ideal was to wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, and he would become a general.
Suddenly, King Rui felt a breath approaching.
"Who!"
"Zhang Luo!"
Zhang Luo's voice reached King Rui's ears, and King Rui subconsciously looked out the window.
He gently opened the window and stood there holding Xue Qing and Zhang Luo outside.
"Is that you? Come on in! β
King Rui opened the window, and Zhang Luo took Xue Qing into King Rui's room.
"His Royal Highness King Rui." Xue Qing saluted King Rui, and ran directly to the subject without beating around the bush.
"Your Highness, tomorrow Xue Qing will follow Divine Doctor Chen back to Dusk Mountain, and this will be half a year.
Xue Qing was not worried about his parents and brothers at home, and wanted to ask His Royal Highness King Rui to take care of him.
In exchange, Xue Qing was willing to walk outside and serve His Royal Highness King Rui. β
Zhang Luo was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this girl to come to see King Rui with this idea.
"Qing'er, what do you mean?"
King Rui didn't figure out Xue Qing's intention for a while, and his heart was full of doubts.
Xue Qing hooked his lips and smiled, and said more bluntly:
Xue Qing promised Doctor Chen to accompany Miss Chen for half a year, as a consultation fee to cure my mother.
It's a great opportunity to go out, and rightly so. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs a pair of eyes if he wants to ascend the throne smoothly, and Xue Qing on the outside can just do these eyes.
Qing'er can keep an eye on every move of the vassal kings for the crown prince and King Rui, and cooperate with his father and brother in the court to help the prince ascend the throne. β
King Rui looked at Xue Qing in front of him, her sick shoulders actually wanted to take on such a heavy responsibility?
"Qing'er, since you have the opportunity to leave the mediation of the capital, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court."
"No, everyone in the world knows that I, Xue Qing, am sick, but I don't know that I am very persistent.
I can't watch my father and brother get in danger and do nothing in the mountains. β
"Why are you persistent, the affairs of the court and the middle are done by my heavenly men."
"Lord Rui looks down on Xue Qing's daughter?"
"Hehe, we have been friends for many years, how dare Rui despise Qing'er."
"Then please give me the right to command all the shops in the splendid world.
Within half a year, the splendid world will not only open all over the north and south of the Celestial Empire, but also become the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Rui. β
King Rui looked at Zhang Luo, who was speechless on the side, did this person just let Xue Qing do nothing?
Such a choice is not what a woman should do, there is obviously a smooth road to go, why should she choose the most difficult one?
"You're just going to let her do that?"
King Rui didn't answer Xue Qing's words, and looked at Zhang Luo on the side. He knew the ambiguous relationship between the two men.
"Whatever she wants, I support. I'm always there for her safety. β
"Huh! Xue Qing, hello, blessed. Zhang Luo, you are so blessed! β
King Rui smiled, as if he was about to burst into tears. For so many years, it was not just his father who was obsessed with letting Xue Qing marry him. He's always hoped.
At the Qionglin banquet that year, the father wanted to marry himself and Xue Qing directly, but the Taifu Mansion was only a concubine.
For many years, his father has been obsessed with Xue Qing, and he is not obsessed with Xue Qing. The more I came into contact with her, the more she was different.
He was always unconsciously attracted to that radiant woman, and they joined forces to open the splendid world everywhere, and the business became bigger and bigger. They talked about everything and had a great relationship.
It's just that he knows that Xue Qing has been waiting for someone. That person is undoubtedly the Jianghu man next to him.
King Rui knew that if Xue Qing entered King Rui's Mansion, she could only be the canary that was rejected in the cage, and when she entered the rivers and lakes, she was the eagle that spread its wings and soared.
This Jianghu man gave Xue Qing the broadest world and let her fly freely, but he protected her under his wings and kept her from being harmed.
"Okay, I will hand over the decision-making power of the splendid world to you, and put the lifeblood of me and the prince's brother in your hands, you will become our eyes and help the prince ascend the throne."
King Rui handed over the token of the splendid world to Xue Qing, and his expression was extremely solemn. Xue Qing accepted the token and solemnly saluted King Rui.
"Qing'er, why did you choose the most difficult path? Obviously, you can be a pampered lady, and you can leave freely. β
Before Xue Qing left, King Rui couldn't help but ask again.
"Because I'm Xue Qing. Xue Qing never accepted his fate. β
Xue Qing left, but that sentence has always remained in the bottom of King Rui's heart, and many years later, because of this sentence, he worked hard to fight against fate.
In the end, he won the time and won the peaceful and prosperous era of the Celestial Empire.
"Xue Qing, if it weren't for the prince's brother who needed your eyes, I really hope that you can live freely with him outside."
King Rui looked at the military book on the table and couldn't study it anymore, he was going to the East Palace.
Flying up, King Rui headed to the East Palace. King Rui's kung fu is not inferior to Zhang Luo, and he walks in the East Palace without a trace.
After discussing with the prince, King Rui told the prince about Xue Qing's decision. The prince was amazed by Xue Qing's boldness, and he was also a little looking forward to what she did and did.
"She's never let us down over the years, hasn't she?"
The prince looked at King Rui, who was looking distressed, and knew it in his heart.
"Rui'er, since you have her in your heart, why don't you ......"
"Can't the prince's brother see that she has no intention of the royal family and any nobles?"
"It's a pity that such a talent is a daughter."
The prince sighed that Mrs. Xue's children are all outstanding talents, but they are two extremes, the son is too polite, and the daughter is too unruly.
"Brother Prince, her father allowed her to marry freely. If his brother ascends to the throne one day, let her be free! β
"Rui'er, don't you regret it?"
"Doesn't my brother already have a fiancΓ©e? That girl is gentle and polite, and she is an authentic lady. The younger brother was satisfied. β
"Alas!"
The crown prince looked at King Rui in front of him, and what could he not understand in his mind.
"Xue Qing is really lucky, he can be protected by my imperial brother like this."
"Please do it with the prince's brother."
The prince of the Rui Dynasty saluted, but the prince was helpless, he had long wanted his father to marry the two of them. As long as the marriage is decided, then Xue Qing is not the emperor's brother.
It's just that the imperial brother has been blocking this matter, as if he doesn't look down on Xue Qing.
"Brother feels sorry for you."
"My brother knows. If there is anyone in the world who is the closest person to the younger brother, it must be the elder brother. β
King Rui trusts the prince very much, and the prince also trusts King Rui very much, and the tacit understanding between the two is not something that ordinary people can destroy.
"Victory or defeat is in this move, Rui'er, it's hard for you. If it weren't for the Celestial Empire, you wouldn't have let Xue Qing get involved in this imperial power struggle!
The elder brother promised that he would definitely give Xue Qing absolute freedom when he ascended the throne. Don't force her to do anything.
It's just Rui'er, at that point, you may not even be able to see her again. β
"Brother Prince, don't worry, as long as she is a good brother, she won't ask for anything."
