Su Bai walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Su Qing and Li Jiye, and then he poured himself a cup to greet everyone and sat down.

"This is freshly brewed tea, Childe, you're tired all the way, right? But did you find any suspicious people on the road? Su Bai asked as if it was a routine matter.

Su Qing was not at ease, he was worried that someone would follow Li Jiye over. After thinking about it, he still asked Su Bai to check around and see if there were any suspicious people patrolling around.

Su Bai felt right when he heard his brother say this. After all, they are now in the Chu State, not the Yan State, and it is absolutely impossible to be careless.

So he saluted Li Jiye and went out to reconnoiter the surrounding situation.

The newly brewed tea, Biluochun, the tea leaves are floating and sinking, gradually stretching, and the tea fragrance is overflowing.

Li Jiye stared at the clear tea in the tea bowl and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

For a while, he didn't know how to describe his feelings, the ups and downs of the world, just like the tea leaves in this tea, he felt that he had no place to return to. Thinking about how he escaped in the first place, and how he wants to go back now, Li Jiye couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Su Qing saw through his thoughts, picked up the teacup with his fingertips, and then put it down gently, and said after calming down: "Childe, are you worried about where to go after returning to China?" ”

Li Jiye glanced at him, a little unclear. If he wants to return to Yan Kingdom, he will naturally return to the palace and continue to live in seclusion.

"Childe has been away from his homeland for many years, and how much the pattern of the court has changed, presumably Childe cannot be understood for the time being, but one thing is for sure, Your Majesty has no other heirs to inherit the throne now, so Childe ......"

"How is it possible, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my second brother ......"

Su Qing actually smiled slightly on his serious face, which was undoubtedly mocking in Li Jiye's eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Jiye somehow became a little annoyed, what was Su Qing's words obviously stirring?

Could it be that Su Qing didn't actually come on behalf of his father at all? Does it represent other forces?

When these people find themselves, they actually want to use themselves to seek power and usurp the throne?!

It is extremely normal for Li Jiye to have such thoughts, because in the past, when he was in Yan Kingdom, he was not very well received, and he was only full of poetry and books, and he was talented. But he didn't have the slightest political talent, which he knew as clearly as a mirror in his own heart.

For a prince who has escaped, is not favored, and is almost useless, unless he is blackmailed to be a puppet, otherwise, what is the use of him?

Su Qing saw Li Jiye's face change, and he pondered for a while, originally he didn't want to tell him, these things could have been used when Li Jiye refused to return to Yan Kingdom.

However, now it seems that Li Jiye has developed a distrust of him, which is very bad, if he does not cooperate, then the plan to take him back will be in vain.

"Childe, your eldest brother and second brother have already fallen one after another, so what I said is actually not wrong." Su Qing pondered his tone, trying to ease the atmosphere between the two, and said word by word.

Li Jiye was still a little angry, but when he heard Su Qing's words, he didn't know how to describe his mood except for being shocked and surprised.

Subconsciously picked up the teacup and took a sip directly, but the teacup was still relatively hot, and the scalding hand was directly released, and the teacup fell directly to the ground, shattered, and the tea leaves splashed everywhere.

"Don't fool me, whether this matter is true or false will be known when I return to China."

Li Jiye said in a tone of disbelief that his eldest brother and second brother had turned against each other to fight for the throne because of their father's improper decision-making. It's often a lose-lose fight, but it's not so much that both of them die.

"Have you forgotten why you fled the court in a hurry?" Su Qing added.

"At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were already fighting in full swing, and you were in a state of dire distress in the palace, and you could no longer protect yourself, so you escaped from the palace and were covered here."

"One day more than a year after the departure of the prince, a large-scale bloodshed broke out in the court, and in the end, the two princes both died, but the news was strictly suppressed, and you will not know if you are in a foreign country.

The bloody coup d'état in the palace was too tragic, all the people who knew the inside story died, and almost all the ministers in the grass hall were replaced, and now, even if it is a new policy, it is not an exaggeration. ”

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, I don't believe it!" Li Jiye said excitedly and loudly, the shock was beyond measure, and his stunned eyes were about to fall out.

His chest rose and fell repeatedly, and his emotions fluctuated.

Su Qing didn't take out the matter of Luo Shu, he felt that this was not the right time at this moment.

After Li Jiye returns to China, he will be able to say anything, and now he will not do anything to add to it.

"Your Majesty is exhausted by this matter, and he has been hit hard, and his body is not as good as day by day, so he will say that in the future, and I hope that the son will forgive me."

What Su Qing said was neither humble nor arrogant, it was reasonable and well-founded, and it made Li Jiye unable to refute it for a while.

"So, you let me go back for the sake of inheritance, right? So you're still thinking about using me, right? After all, I'm the one who is being used, right? ”

Li Jiye's heart was in turmoil, he felt a little self-defeating, and his mood did not become very good.

He never imagined that one day he would inherit the throne.

He can't fight and doesn't want to fight, he doesn't want to pay attention to those pickled things in the court, the reason why he was able to stay in Chu for so long is that he doesn't have much nostalgia for the life of the palace at all.

Of course, he never thought that he would become a tool to be used by others, he would rather be a child of an ordinary family, living in poverty and stability.

"It's not easy to say anything about this matter, everything can only be known after the son returns to China." Su Qing took a new cup, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Jiye.

He could be sure that his words had already moved Li Jiye, and it was not too late to go back.

In the state of Chu, he has been tracked down by people with good intentions, and his identity has risen because of the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, so it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a hot potato now.

After all, the current Li Jiye is likely to be the monarch of the Yan Kingdom in the future.

Once the people of the Chu State knew that Li Jiye was the only prince to inherit the throne, it was estimated that they would be even more crazy.

"I have to say that if Gongzi takes that sister of yours with him, when she returns to Yan Kingdom, her situation will be ......."

Su Qing suddenly mentioned Li Jicai, according to the order given by the lord before, they only asked to bring Yan Chengli back, and did not say that they would bring extra burdens.

Therefore, if they bring Li Jicai with them, there will inevitably be all kinds of unexpected troubles, after all, she is a woman.

"What? What do you mean by that? Didn't you say it before?

You arranged a route for me to return to Yan Kingdom with my sister, what do you mean now to let me leave her alone?

Do you know that she offended Luo Lianfang, do you know that her enemy is in the capital, and she almost killed her by the neck yesterday, you told me to let me leave her here alone, do you think it is appropriate? Is it possible? ”

Li Jiye was emotional like an angry beast, roaring at Su Qing with a fierce look, he had endured it for a long time, he couldn't wait to take Li Jicai away, so when he asked Li Jicai if he wanted to go with him, Li Jicai said yes, he was actually very happy.

Because he found that even if he became an official, he couldn't protect Li Jicai, she still lived a very hard and embarrassed life, and he didn't even dare to guess how she came over in Qi Qingchu's mansion for more than two months, and when she came back, she lost a lot of weight.

Although she said that her sweetheart was Qi Qingchu, she also knew that she couldn't be with him. But he just couldn't bear to look at her like this.

There are a lot of good-looking men, and when he returns to Yan Kingdom, he will help her find another one.

She has suffered enough, and if she can return to Yan Kingdom, she may be able to live a better life.

He is a prince, at least outside the palace will give her a good life, with food, clothes to wear, and a place to live.

Even if the two of them can't live together often, it doesn't matter, he can still visit him often.

Suddenly, what did Li Jiye think?

"In this way, after Childe brings her back, she will become your weakness, how many people are eyeing her?

Have you ever thought about it, Childe? Have you ever thought about her safety? Is she in the crosshairs? ”

Su Qing continued to induce unhurriedly, he could see that in the past few years among the people, he had not grown much, and his scheming was still too shallow, Li Jiye was not even as smart and cunning as he was in the court, but seemed to have degraded into a simple teenager.

In the end, the environment has a great impact on people, and it seems that Li Jicai is really not simple.

Li Jiye heard Su Qing's pinprick words, and he didn't want to admit it on his face, but he really agreed with it in his heart.

Yes, he himself returned to Yan Kingdom and didn't know what the future situation would be, so would he be able to give Li Jicai a stable life? How easy it would be to make promises that could not be kept

It's not a question of whether it's cumbersome or not, he will never feel embarrassed by Li Jicai as a burden to him.

She was a very important, very important person to him.

But if he returns to the country, the situation in Yan State is not much better than that of Chu State, and even some people will target him, he has no strength or strength to protect her, what should she do?

"According to the advice below, it is better for you to stay in the Chu State for a while, and when you return to the country to settle down, and then send someone to pick her up quietly."

This is equivalent to saying that it is in Li Jiye's heart, and it seems that this is the most appropriate way to deal with it.

After all, he is now a mud bodhisattva, and it is difficult to protect himself when he crosses the river.

"And, there's one thing I don't know if I should say or not." Su Qing suddenly remembered something as if he was talking, and said with a frown.
