Master Su continued: "Li Niang has never talked about her origin and family background, and I don't ask. We lived in peace in the capital, and our lives were plain and warm. Later, I became an official and entered the Hanlin Academy, and Liniang gave birth to a child for me. The child's early death was an eternal pain in her heart. ”

I once heard the old grandmother of Su Mansion say that the child of Lord Su and Mrs. Su is well-behaved and smart, and she is a smart girl, but unfortunately God does not bless people, and the child died of a sudden serious illness before she was full-term. If that girl were still alive, she would be about the same age as me. When Mrs. Su saw me, she burst into tears and called me her daughter, perhaps because of her love for her daughter.

"Maybe it's because I feel fate after seeing you, and Liniang and I treat you as our own children. Although I don't know who your father and mother are, it is their blessing to have a well-behaved and clever child like you. ”

Master Su rarely praised me in front of me, and when he said so much at once, I suddenly had a bad premonition, as if he was confessing his last words. I hurriedly said: "Actually, Xi'er has always regarded Sufu as her home, and you and your wife are Xi'er's parents." ”

Master Su smiled kindly, and then he said with a straight face: "Xi'er, my father has no other requirements for you, I just hope that you are safe and sound." But King Xuan is at the center of the power of the imperial court, what kind of complicated power struggle is behind this, have you ever considered it? King Xuan is unfathomable, and his decision is even more involved in the whole body, which is related to the overall situation. If King Xuan loses his heart, how will you deal with yourself? ”

I shook my head and looked at Master Su blankly, he was an official of the Hanlin Academy, and he was a seemingly useless civil official, but he didn't want his careful mind to give me such a clear insight into my situation, so that I had to re-examine my relationship with Li Xuan. The benefits and disadvantages of this were pointed out by Master Su, and the cocoon was peeled off, and the clues were gradually revealed.

Marrying Li Xuan was an accident, and until now, the big marriage that caused a sensation in the capital still seems like a dream to me, so unreal. There is no husband and wife between me and Li Xuan, and I don't understand why he wants to marry me. The title of Princess Xuan is coveted by many ladies, and I never thought it would fall on me.

Li Xuan holds great power and is the emperor's favored minister, he has the token to enter and leave the palace freely, as long as he wants, he can even ignore the court and political affairs. In order to treat me, he was able to invite Imperial Doctor Zhang, who was in charge of diagnosing the pulse of the emperor and queen in the Tai Hospital, and I really couldn't see the bottom line given to him by the emperor.

As far as I know, there are no more courtiers in the DPRK who can check and balance Li Xuan. How could an ambitious king like Emperor Qi endure the dominance of courtiers like Li Xuan? Li Xuan seems to have no ambition, but I can feel that he is by no means a simple person.

I've always allowed myself not to care about his identity, and just want to live a leisurely life in the ink garden. Master Su reminded me that the identity of Princess Xuan of my Xuan was already an ironclad fact, and it was impossible for me to draw a line with Li Xuan. He and I are both prosperous and lossy, and we are people in the same boat.

I couldn't see my heart more and more, and I felt more and more confused about my future. Li Xuan and me, where is the turning point between us? I honestly said, "Dad, I don't know what to do." Li Xuan and I, we are very different people. ”

Could it be that Master Su wants me to do everything I can to win Li Xuan's favor like Mrs. Xiang and them? If I don't love Li Xuan, what's the use of competing for these false favors? If I love Li Xuan, I will disdain to use such means to get his love. I, Qin Xi, love to love frankly and honestly, and I can't tolerate any hypocrisy.

How could I not know the meaning of Lord Su's words, Su Fu no longer has the ability to protect me, only by relying on Li Xuan's power can I protect my life, I and Li Xuan are inseparable, Lord Su should also be able to see that he admonished me like this, telling me that it is the best choice for me to live by relying on Li Xuan.

Seeing that I didn't want to face it, Master Su sighed and said, "Hey, child, people are in a changeable position in a high position, you must know how to protect yourself." Li Niang once said that King Xuan is a good person worthy of trust, and his father has no ability to protect you, but he begs King Xuan to take more care of you. ”

Master Su took out a stack of papers from his arms, handed it to me, and instructed: "Xi'er, this is my deed of ownership in Qinzhou, and there are a few valuable shops. Now I don't need it, I'll leave it to you, remember, you must keep it properly, even King Xuan can't say a word, this is your way out in the future, just in case. ”

This stack of house deeds and title deeds are very heavy in my hands, I can't speak for a long time, Master Su is so thoughtful for me, he understands that I don't want to please Li Xuan and live, even I have thought about the way out of Li Xuan, my eyes are wet, and tears are streaming down my face.

"Girl, stay here with your mother, dad is tired." Master Su staggered out of the mourning hall, looking at his slightly clumsy back, I suddenly felt that he was old.

I put away the title deed, wiped the tears on my face, knelt in Mrs. Su's mourning hall and burned the paper, my chest was so stuffy that I couldn't see through, I just wanted to cry.

Xiao Ye didn't know when she came in and knelt down beside me, her eyes were red, she said that the year her mother died, she also cried as sad as me, and then her father sold her to Xuanwangfu as a maid in order to support her younger siblings in the family.

Xiao Ye cried and said that she missed her mother very much, and the two of us hugged our heads and cried, crying silently.
