Chapter 200: Make Up Your Mind
"What does the prince mean to let Nanwei return to Eastern Qi?" The little prince sat upright, telling things in a straightforward manner, and his tone was indifferent, without mockery. "The prince should know that although Nanwei advocates peace, he is not cowardly, if he is really forced to do so, I believe that they are willing to fight against the water, and they don't want to be a prisoner."
Qi Xiaoyun's face did not change, and he replied lightly, "This king has never doubted the patriotism of the people of Nanwei, nor has he doubted their determination. It's just that there are gains and losses in everything, and it is difficult to have both. However, this is Nanwei's state affair, what this king just said is just a rainy day, if His Royal Highness the prince does not want to listen, then this king will not say it again. ”
It is not up to him to decide whether the actual battle is or not, it depends on what the person above thinks. He is not a nosy person, but because the little prince is pure and kind, and he is about to become a father, he wants to accumulate some blessings for the child, and he doesn't want his hands to be touched by more lives, so he has to spend more time on his behalf. I don't know when it started, his heart became softer and softer.
Although the little prince is not familiar with the twists and turns of state affairs, he is not stupid, who is sincere to him and who is flattering to him, he still knows this very clearly. Although Qi Xiaoyun's words were not listened to, he knew that this was the truth, and it was also the dilemma that Nanwei was facing now. Life or death is a choice, how to live and how to die, this is another choice.
He was born most afraid of making choices, perhaps because he was indecisive, and every time he made a choice, he always looked forward and hesitated. "Lord Wang," he raised his head and smiled sincerely, putting away his previous politeness and hostility, "Lord Wang's deep affection for Lone, Lone felt it." Fang Cai was in a hurry for a while, and his speech was not very pleasant, so please don't blame the prince. ”
Lu Anjin looked at the innocent and lovely face of the little prince, and smiled like a toothache, she really wanted to say that idioms can't be used indiscriminately. But thinking of the strange tone when he spoke, it was undoubtedly explained that he was playing the piano to the cow, so he simply didn't waste his saliva. But this little prince can bend and stretch, which is really interesting. I don't know that Emperor Nanwei, but he is also such a wonderful person?
"His Royal Highness the Prince," Qi Xiaoyun was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "This king has a reluctant request," after he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the prince to ask, and continued: "Today, this king brought His Royal Highness here to treat Jin'er's illness." When he left the Lu Mansion, if someone asked, he also asked His Royal Highness to keep it a secret for the king, and said that Jin'er had just recovered from a serious illness and needed to recuperate. ”
"Lord Wang," since Qi Xiaoyun was open and honest, then he didn't pretend to be a snake, and asked bluntly, "Lone has always been puzzled, why does Miss Lu pretend to be sick?" "Obviously they are not sick, why do they want to say that they are dying, such an unfortunate thing, why do they do it so naturally, aren't they afraid that the fake will become true?
When Qi Xiaoyun heard this, his indifferent expression finally had a trace of cracking, and the twists and turns in it were really not enough to be with outsiders, so he had to talk about him left and right, "This king has a last resort, which makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laugh." In the past two days, His Royal Highness has come to Lu Mansion to sit down, and this king is grateful for His Royal Highness's righteous help. ”
The little prince was uneasy to thank him, he intuitively thought that this was not an ordinary lying incident, it should involve the bullying of the Eastern Qi court, and once he participated, it would be difficult to get out. Intellectually, he should avoid it; But morally, since he recognized Qi Xiaoyun as a friend, and his friend was in trouble, he should do his best to help.
That's it, he doesn't care about so much right and wrong, he simply admires Qi Xiaoyun, and he cares about so many conspiracies. Thinking of this, the little prince suddenly felt relieved. He relaxed his back, leaned lazily on the table, and said with a smile, "The wine in the north of the city is said to be very fragrant, and Lone has always wanted to taste it." ”
Qi Xiaoyun smiled helplessly, knowing that he had agreed, so he chuckled and said, "The king has no time during the day, how about taking His Royal Highness down to taste wine at night?" "Count the hours, the people in the palace are almost here, and he still has to cheer up, but he will meet the fierce battle in the palace. He glanced at Lu Anjin without a trace of grievances, but he got a big white eye.
He turned his head in disdain, and saw the little prince's eyes that seemed to be smiling, and he heard the other party teasing: "Lord Wang, you are really unkind today." You came to treat the prince's friend, but you didn't tell Gu that this friend was Miss Lu, so that Gu would not be rude and come empty-handed. The prince and Miss Lu have a deep love for the plaice, and they are envious of the lonely people. ”
Lu Anjin lowered his head shyly, Qi Xiaoyun rarely saw her so shy, his heart moved involuntarily, if it weren't for the presence of others, he really wanted to do something that was not enough to talk to others. God knows that after he was opened a door called desire, every time he saw his sweetheart, he could no longer maintain restraint.
It was really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, the three of them didn't chat a few words, and saw Father Lu hurriedly come over, outsiders are here, the etiquette needs to be thorough, he wanted to salute, but he was held by Qi Xiaoyun's arm, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a friend of this king, and my father doesn't need to be polite." Father looked in a hurry, but someone from the palace? ”
Father Lu saw that the little prince looked like he was smiling and feasting, and seeing that he really didn't have any unusual expression, so he put away his rules and said with worry, "Father-in-law Fang Cai said to his father, Your Majesty is angry, let you return to the palace immediately." Yun'er, now that the palace is in danger, you must be very careful, if Your Majesty asks you to do something you don't want to do, don't be in a hurry to refuse, and then find a way when you come back. ”
In short, he can't conflict with the emperor, he knows Qi Xiaoyun's temperament too well, and knows that he is upright and upright, and he doesn't want to be in the same stream with those small people, so he will be excluded. But it's not that a family really doesn't enter the door, and his character is the same, so he won't say anything on this point. After all, they are all half a catty and eight taels, so don't laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps.
"Father, don't worry, what to do, I am free to advocate." He turned around and said to the little prince with a slight apology, "I'm afraid this king is going to break his promise today, Your Majesty is urgent, this king doesn't know when he will be able to come back, I'm afraid I can't take His Highness out to play." If His Highness wants to return to the palace, the king will send His Highness back; If His Highness does not want to go back, he will bother His Highness to wait here for a while. ”
The little prince smiled indifferently, "If the prince has something important, even if he is busy, there is no need to worry about loneliness." Gu doesn't want to go back to the palace now, so let's disturb Lord Lu for a while, and please don't mind Lord Lu. "Lord Lu and Miss Lu are wonderful people at first glance, and now he finally has the opportunity to inquire about Qi Xiaoyun's private affairs, and if he doesn't seize the opportunity to disturb the casserole to ask the end, he will be a fool.
"In that case, I will bother my father to take good care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on my behalf." When Qi Xiaoyun went out, he saw that the little eunuch from the palace was stretching his neck to look inside, his face was full of anxiety, but he could only stomp his feet in a hurry, that kind of funny appearance instantly pleased him who was in an unhappy mood.
The little eunuch saw that the main lord had finally come out, and hurriedly greeted him, and he said with a flattering smile: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty urgently summoned you to the palace, and it has been delayed for a long time. "Not long after he entered the palace, he messed up the first errand, and after returning to the palace, he might not be punished, the little eunuch's heart was dripping with blood, but his face was not obvious, and he was still smiling very happily.
"This king rode first, and you should follow behind." The little eunuch thought he was hiding it deeply, but he still let him see at a glance the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart. He has no habit of letting innocent people be punished for himself. "After returning to the palace, you can do your own thing, and you don't need to bend your life again."
The little eunuch knew that this was Qi Xiaoyun covering for him, he was just a lowly eunuch, but he was fortunate to have the help of King Xian, how fortunate it was for him. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling but sincerely: "The slave thanks the prince for saving his life." ”
He didn't wait for Qi Xiaoyun's reply for a long time, then he raised his head and found that Qi Xiaoyun had long since disappeared.
It wasn't until twilight that Qi Xiaoyun returned home, her face was not very good-looking, and her walking posture was a little weird, Lu Anjin saw this, hurriedly walked over, carefully held his arm, and said with concern, "The emperor punished you?" ”
Qi Xiaoyun nodded, and he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty didn't see me, but just asked me to kneel outside the palace gate until now." ”
Lu Anjin was angry, "Now the DPRK has raised so many wastes that only eat idle meals and don't do personnel, and he doesn't fix so many moths, and he stares at us all day long." For the first time, she had a great resentment towards the indiscriminate emperor, and she saw that her words were also unconcealed bitterness, "The older you get, the more stupid you become!" ”
Qi Xiaoyun didn't stop her from saying anything, in fact, this kind of being restrained by others made him tired. Now his situation is really difficult to ride a tiger, he does not hand over the right to the army, and the emperor is afraid of him; If he surrendered the military power, the emperor would still be afraid of him unless he died.
But at the moment he doesn't want to die, as long as he lives for one day, it will be a thorn in the flesh for the emperor. Now, he can't manage so much, and if some things are left unresolved, it will make everyone uneasy.
"Ling Feng, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and see this king."
Lu Anjin raised his eyebrows slightly, rubbed his sore knees, and raised his head and asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Qi Xiaoyun lowered his head, his big hand with a thick callouse gently stroked the soft green silk, he nodded slightly, and said in a dumb voice, "Jin'er, follow me to make you feel wronged." We once said that we should watch the clouds roll quietly with each other, and I promised you that we must not break our promise. ”
Lu Anjin didn't speak, just knelt on the carpet and leaned lightly on him. The wetness in her eyes became heavier and heavier, and her face was also wet, and she reached out to touch it, only to realize that she had already burst into tears.
Tears fell silently, and her heart softened into a clear spring. After being silent for a long time, she choked up and said, "Okay, I believe you." ”
