Chapter 65: Resignation
Inside the Royal Palace. Ming Gong Gong came to report.: "Qi Yu Emperor. Prince Yu Liguorui would like to see you."
Li Qingyuan and Mai Feng glanced at each other. There are doubts in my hearts. Li Qingyuan said to Gonggong Ming, "Please let him in."
Li Qingyuan thought to himself: "It's always been. Xuanyuan Rui never took the initiative to enter the palace. This is the first time. What is the reason for this?"
After Xuanyuan Rui came in. A simple etiquette was given to Li Qingyuan. Li Qingyuan immediately said: "Prince Rui doesn't need to be polite. It's rare for you to get into the palace. This time, I must have a good drink. A few more rounds of gambling before you are allowed to leave the palace. Haha."
Li Qingyuan even hoped that Xuanyuan Rui would die. In order to create chaos for Yu Liguo. But in front of Xuanyuan Rui. He still behaved as friendly and enthusiastic as Xuanyuan Rui.
Xuanyuan Rui replied respectfully, "Emperor Xie for raising love."
Noon. After Xuanyuan Rui and Li Qingyuan finished their meal together. I played chess in the Imperial Garden.
Xuanyuan Rui finally opened his mouth to say the main thing about entering the palace this time. He said, "Your Majesty. This palace entered the palace this time to bid farewell to the emperor."
Li Qingyuan listened. I'm not too surprised. He thought that Xuanyuan Rui was no longer a proton. As for him, he never returned to Yu Liguo. Li Qingyuan believes that there are two reasons: one is that Emperor Yu Liguo has been healthy. And Empress Ling has been trying to get rid of him. If you go back, you will only fight to the death with Queen Ling. It's not a good thing for Xuanyuan Rui, who has no power. The second is. Xuanyuan Rui must have had a purpose in staying in the new country. Or to monitor everything in the new country. Or maybe some kind of power will be cultivated here. But. Li Qingyuan felt that the first possibility was more likely.
He pretended to be surprised and said to Xuanyuan Rui, "The prince is going back. Hehe. But. It's also a matter of time. I hope that our two countries will continue to be friendly in the future. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Xuanyuan Rui also responded: "That's nature."
Li Qingyuan asked again: "I don't know which day the prince chose to set off."
Xuanyuan Rui said, "It's almost there. The palace decided to return home with all the people in the palace at the beginning of November."
Li Qingyuan was surprised when he heard this: "So urgent. Isn't that two days away? Is everything ready in such a hurry?"
Xuanyuan Rui said: "Emperor Xie cares. Everything is ready for you. You'll be ready to go."
Li Qingyuan heard Xuanyuan Rui tell him that everything was fine. His face also showed a look of joy for him. Then he sighed again and said, "Alas... You and I have known and fellowshipped since childhood. I don't know when we'll see each other again. If you weren't in a hurry. I still want to keep you until I get married before I leave for China. It's a pity that .......... hehe. Do not say. I know you're like an arrow. So I won't keep you anymore. I wish you a safe journey." After all that's said. Li Qingyuan and Xuanyuan Rui drink wine.
After Xuanyuan Rui listened to Li Qingyuan's words. A shock passed through the bottom of my heart. He opened his mouth and asked, "The emperor is about to get married."
Li Qingyuan said brightly: "Yes. The date is set for November 15th. The day of the founding of the country."
Xuanyuan Rui suppressed the surprise in his heart. He asked calmly, "Oh. It's also very fast. I don't know which lady the queen chose. Or a lady in the palace. Hongu is also curious."
Li Qingyuan laughed. And replied, "The prince need not be curious. The queen is the daughter of the Guo family. He is also my beloved."
Xuanyuan Rui listened to Li Qingyuan still selling Guan Zi without revealing his real name. Then he continued to ask tentatively, "Hehe. It turned out to be Ning Guifei's mother. Well deserved. The only candidate for the Queen. Congratulations to the Emperor. Congratulations to the Emperor."
Li Qingyuan heard Xuanyuan Rui say this. And didn't think much about it. He immediately clarified Xuanyuan Rui's words and said, "Prince. Misunderstanding. Misunderstanding. It's not Ning Guifei. It's Miss Xin'er, General Guo's righteous daughter."
Xuanyuan Rui listened. Stunned. Sure enough, it was as I thought. But I just don't believe it's true. You have to ask the question. Originally, he only hoped that the candidate would not be Xin'er. Even though he knew it in his heart. No matter what the outcome is, Xin'er will not choose herself. But. When I really heard that Xin'er was going to become Li Qingyuan's queen. I still can't help but feel sad in my heart. Feeling lost.
Xuanyuan Rui and Li Qingyuan played chess for a few games before taking their leave. On the way home. Xuanyuan Rui thought, "Do you want to see Xin'er again?" Maybe this meeting is goodbye. But. Since Xin'er has made a choice between Li Qingyuan and herself. It's better not to see each other than to see each other. In case there is any gossip because of this. Haven't you become a sinner who has harmed Xin'er all her life? Ay. It's still gone."
Inside the Thousand Bamboo Garden. Lu Xin looked at the bronze mirror at the obvious pinch marks on his neck. There are also kiss marks on Li Qingyuan's neck and chest. A few days passed. Still bruised. Clearly visible.
Lu Xin thought: "Li Qingyuan really almost killed himself at that time. Does he really love himself. Why is his love like a sharp blade? You could kill yourself at any moment." She thought about it. I couldn't help but shiver. There is still some fear in my heart. A sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. It seems to feel physically and mentally exhausted. But she was not willing to succumb to this status quo.
Lu Xin comforted herself in her heart: "There is no endless road. There is only one way to change this. I, Lu Xin, will never give up."
Lu Xin thought crankily while quietly looking at the plane tree in the yard outside the window. The leaves on the trees have long since fallen away. Only bare branches remain. Standing in the cold wind. Waiting for spring to come. Lu Xin sighed: "The sycamore tree can wait for spring after all. And whether I can survive the winter and welcome the spring is still uncertain."
And Xiaoxuan, who is making the bed. A small object resembling a hidden weapon was found under Lu Xin's pillow. She thought to herself, "I don't think I've ever seen a young lady have such a thing. Why does the young lady have this strange thing under her pillow?" Thereupon. She took this little thing and asked Lu Xin, who was in a daze.
Xiao Xuan said, "Miss. The slave had just cleaned up the bed and found this under the lady's pillow. If it's a useless thing for a young lady. Then the slave will throw it for the young lady."
Lu Xin slowly turned her head to look at what Xiao Xuan was holding in her hand. He said indifferently: "Throw it away. Don't." After speaking, he looked out the window in a daze.
Xiao Xuan responded silently: "Yes. Miss."
And then. She muttered a few more words, "I don't know what kind of gadget this is." How could it be put under the lady's pillow. It's weird." Because the ancients would store valuable or important tokens close to their homes or put them under pillows. So. Xiao Xuan began to think that this would be something important. Otherwise. She didn't even have to ask the young lady to throw it away.
A few seconds later. Lu Xin immediately came back to her senses. happily ran to Xiao Xuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, don't throw it. Don't throw it."
Xiao Xuan still looks inexplicable. Looking at his own young lady's happy and anxious expression. Lu Xin grabbed Xiao Xuan's hands and hurriedly asked, "What about that thing just now?"
Xiao Xuan pursed her lips and smiled. Said to Lu Xin: "Miss. Hold your horses. It's still in the hands of the slaves."
After all that's said. Xiao Xuan spread her palms. Lu Xin grabbed it. Said excitedly: "Xiaoxuan. XIAO Xuan. We are saved. We're saved."
Xiao Xuan looked at the excited young lady for some reason. I was very skeptical of Miss's words. She also wondered: Is Miss crazy?
Xiaoxuan asked, "Miss. What is saved. How can it be saved? The slave doesn't understand. Miss, don't scare the slaves."
Lu Xin looked at Xiao Xuan with a surprised and puzzled expression. Of course, I know how abnormal my expression is now. Xiao Xuan must have thought that she was becoming a neurotic. I was indescribably happy at this time.
Lu Xin said to Xiao Xuan seriously: "Xiao Xuan. You don't need to understand. I'll take care of everything. Just wait for Miss Ben to take you out."
After all that's said. Lu Xin clung to the signal weapon that Xuanyuan Rui had left her. She remembered what Xuanyuan Rui had said to her at the last time: "Xin'er. If one day you regret it. Hope you think of looking for me first. I'll help you. Let me repay you for saving your life."
Lu Xin thought: Did he expect that he would regret it. That's right. Although he is the crown prince of Yu Liguo. But he must know Li Qingyuan. No matter how much it is. Now that's the only chance you'll have in front of you. In this new country, only this prince of another country, Xuanyuan Rui, dares to compete with it. Saved myself. You must take advantage of this opportunity.
Lu Xin immediately remembered what Xuanyuan Rui had said when he taught him how to use this little secret weapon: "Open this and it will send out a signal. Then my men will come and answer you."
Lu Xin's heart was excited again. She had a hunch that Regulus would keep her word. Rescue yourself. She silently clutched the small hidden weapon to her chest. With my eyes closed, I seem to feel the hope of life. Feel your future beckoning to you. Now she just has to wait. Wait for the night to fall.
In the cold night. The people in the general's palace have rested early. Lu Xin after everyone fell asleep. called Xiaoxuan into the room. Together, the two of them turned on the signal switch out of the window. I saw a turquoise light shoot out from one end of the signal tube and rise straight into the sky. After that, it was gone.
Xiao Xuan asked nervously, "Miss. Does this gadget really work. Can they really know that we sent it?" Xiao Xuan didn't suspect that this secret weapon was fake. She just hoped that the young lady would not have too much hope for it. So as not to dash hopes. The sadness is even worse.
Lu Xin didn't have much confidence. But he could only say comfortingly: "I don't know either. I can only trust him for the time being. Hopefully they'll receive it. XIAO Xuan. Let's sit down and wait."
After all that's said. The two of them waited patiently in the room. Xiaoxuan sometimes goes out the window to take a look. From time to time, I go behind the door and listen. See if someone will pick them up.
