Li Ruiqing's back had long since disappeared, and Zhao Xiangling stood in place for a long time before looking at the sky and smiling bitterly.

Not everyone will be waiting for her in place.

Everyone will have a bottom line, no matter how good Li Ruiqing is to her, she will never let her mess around like this.

But how could he understand that it wasn't her who came this time.

It wasn't she who wanted to let go or push him away this time.

Zhao Xiangling clenched his fists.

What was written on her original decree was to recognize Zuo Tongguo as one person. Now that he has been replaced, he can no longer announce it like this.

In this case, it is not difficult to make a move according to Zhao Xian's plan.

Zhao Xiangling sneered. Oh, since he doesn't put himself in his eyes so much, let him understand what the real Southern Monarch is!

Packing up his emotions, Zhao Xiangling went to the study of Wutong Palace without hesitation.

She put away all her sadness and replaced it with an unstoppable force.

===

After Li Ruiqing left the palace, he did not return directly to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

He went to Hu's house.

Wei Wei, Hu Jia.

He arrived at the Hu family's compound one step after the decree of marriage.

Li Ruiqing climbed over the wall and entered, without alarming anyone, sitting in a pavilion and asking Zhimu to invite someone.

The Weiwei family does not need to be the Wang family in the capital, the Sun family is not a century-old family, and there is no foundation, so the house is only built on the edge of the capital, and the area is not large.

The pavilion is small and is one of the few decorative buildings in this house.

Li Ruiqing did not change into court clothes, and sat on the stone bench, attracting the sideways glances of the maids who occasionally passed by.

He didn't seem to react much to this, just let them watch, sitting still, like a stone.

In less than half an hour, Gengi invited the person he wanted to meet.

Hu Lelan carried her skirt and hurriedly followed behind Gen Mu, her face was crimson because of running, adding a bit of glamour.

Li Ruiqing didn't look at her, he still sat and didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Genmu retreated and Hu Lelan stood next to him that Li Ruiqing glanced at her.

In the first sentence, he said: "You shouldn't have a maid or a maid." ”

Meeting in private, it is worth chewing the root of the tongue, and this maid does not bring it, and coming alone makes people have a loophole to drill.

Hu Lelan blushed a little and said, "Lord Zuo, I have received His Majesty's holy decree, and we ......"

"Forget about it." Li Ruiqing's second sentence.

Hu Lelan froze her smile, and she sneered, "Forgot? Forgot something? ”

Li Ruiqing raised his eyes: "Forget that holy decree, I won't marry you." ”

Hu Lelan's face turned a little pale. She sat down on the stool next to Li Ruiqing on the stone table, and whispered: "Why ......?"

Li Ruiqing said: "You know that I am the Young Pavilion Master of the Sword Shadow Pavilion, and you can know with a little inquiry that I am already married." ”

"But......" Hu Lelan whispered, "this is Your Majesty's holy decree. ”

Li Ruiqing sneered: "What about the holy decree? What does it have to do with me? ”

If others heard Li Ruiqing's words, they might only think he was rampant, but Hu Lelan knew Li Ruiqing's details and knew that his words were not lies.

He really has this ability, and he can really resist disrespect.

"Lord Zuo Xiang." But Hu Lelan still wanted to persuade him, after all, the matter of resisting the decree was not a trivial matter, "Please think about this matter, don't offend the emperor." ”

"I said I had a wife, and I wouldn't marry you." Li Ruiqing was quite impatient, "For the sake of your life-saving grace for me, I didn't dismiss it in court, and now it shouldn't be too difficult for you to dismiss this matter yourself." ”

Hu Lelan's face was as pale as paper: "I'm just a little folk girl, I really don't dare to disobey His Majesty's will......"

"You'll be fine if you disobey." Li Ruiqing said, "I will protect you." ”

Hu Lelan's face turned even paler, and she said, "Who is it?" Who is your wife? ”

She thought that she had liked Zuo Xiang for three years, and had never heard of a woman beside him, except for her.

She? Hu Lelan's eyes widened.

Yes, it's just her!

Li Ruiqing's answer verified her point of view: "The monarch of the Southern Dynasty, Zhao Xiangling." ”

Hu Lelan's face was pale and colorless.

She whispered: "How could she be your wife, Lord Zuo Xiang, don't deceive yourself anymore, this matter is clearly ......"

"I said that I had a wedding in the Sword Shadow Pavilion, believe it or not." Li Ruiqing got up, "So, it's impossible for me to do such a ridiculous thing again, and I won't welcome you into the door." ”

Hu Lelan got up and said bitterly: "Lord Zuo Xiang, you can't treat me like this, I am your life......"

"I owe you a favor, I've repaid a lot in the past three years." Li Ruiqing said, "It can be said that my life may not be so valuable." If you insist that I use the position of the wife of the left prime minister to repay the grace of saving my life......"

took the sword from his subordinate's wooden waist, Li Ruiqing handed it to Hu Lelan: "Life is here, you can take it." ”

The tip of the sword shimmered, suggesting that it was more than just sharp.

Hu Lelan didn't take it, but tears fell first: "You know, you know that I won't be able to kill you......"

"Then you should also know that I can't marry you." Li Ruiqing's words were not tactful at all, and there was no room for negotiation.

He knew that he couldn't let go of his mouth at all, otherwise it would be an even greater scourge.

"You obviously don't hate me, why can't you give it a try, maybe you'll think I'm actually very good." Hu Lelan almost pleaded. She looked at Li Ruiqing with a pair of watery eyes, wanting to cry or not.

Li Ruiqing was very calm: "I don't hate you, and I think you're very good, but I don't want to marry you." I didn't think about it before, I don't think about it now, and I won't think about it in the future. ”

"You can get out of the marriage, that's the only option I give you. If you wait until I do it myself, you know, you will become the laughing stock of the entire capital. ”

A woman who has been divorced, especially if the divorce is still the left minister, spreads out, who will dare to marry her in the future?

"A laughing stock?" Hu Lelan smiled bitterly, "What about the laughing stock?" Zuo Xiang, would you really rather die than marry me? ”

Li Ruiqing didn't answer, but just handed the sword to her.

Hu Lelan's heart was crossed, and she actually took the sword in Li Ruiqing's hand, pressed it against his chest and asked him: "Li Che, let me ask you again, you would really rather die than disobey the holy decree than marry me!" ”

Li Ruiqing said lightly: "Yes." ”

He didn't dodge, not even blinking an eye.

It seems that the sword is not pointing at him, or he is sure that Hu Lelan will not move.

"You!" Hu Lelan wanted to push the sword forward, but she only slightly pierced a fold in her clothes, and before she could even cut through her clothes, her hands trembled, and she couldn't move half a minute.

With a 'clang', the sword fell to the ground, Hu Lelan threw the sword on the ground, and ran away crying.

Zhimu hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the sword: "Master." ”

Li Ruiqing waved his hand and motioned for him not to speak.

"There's a lot going on here." Li Ruiqing said, "I suddenly felt that the holy decree may not be written by Xiang Ling himself. It's just that it's weird, I can't say what it's like. ”
