Chapter 94: The Love of Life and Death (2)
"Weichen (courtier) see Your Majesty!" As a sound echoed in the main hall, General Xia Qi and Xia Qingxi were already standing in the hall, kneeling down towards Dongfang Sheng who was seated and bowing.
Dongfang Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at General Xia Qi, the treacherous in his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Flat." โ
Xia Qingxi secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Dongfang Sheng who was seated when he got up, and what caught his eye was still the incomparably dazzling pride of the sky, wearing a dragon robe that added to the nobility of many kings, like the brightest stars in the night sky, making people unable to take their eyes off.
Dongfang Sheng noticed Xia Qingxi*'s eyes, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyebrows, but he said to General Xia Qi: "General Xia doesn't know what to start?" โ
General Xia Qi bowed his body and paid homage again, "Your Majesty has always said that it is a matter of agreeing to Weichen?" โ
Although he expected General Xia Qi's purpose of entering the palace this time, he didn't expect him to be so direct, Dongfang Sheng casually glanced at Xia Qingxi who was standing on the side, and saw that her pink cheeks were becoming more and more shy.
"Nature counts!" Dongfang Sheng knew that since he couldn't avoid it, he would face it head-on. The deep voice sounded again: "General Xia has made great contributions to me, so naturally he should be rewarded in every way." I know that General Xia doesn't care about gold and silver treasures, high-ranking official titles, and what he can't let go of is the marriage of the county lord of Qingxi. โ
Before the words fell, Xia Qingxi heard his name, his face was happy, and his little face became more and more red. General Xia Qi paid homage to Dongfang Sheng again, "Your Majesty knows the will of the minister, so the minister ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"General Xia rest assured, I know that the lord of Qingxi County is both talented and beautiful, and I must find an excellent son to match, and I want to marry her to Bai Yaonan, the son of Shangshu. That Bai Yaonan is both civil and military, has a prominent family background, and is a talent, and the Qingxi County Lord is really a match made in heaven, I don't know what General Xia wants? Dongfang Sheng spoke at the right time and interrupted General Xia's words. Now this remark blocked the words that General Xia was about to blurt out.
Xia Qingxi thought that he could finally achieve what he wanted, but he didn't expect that he was really whimsical, and the original expectation in his heart was poured a basin of cold water by Dongfang Sheng, and it was cold from head to toe.
When General Xia Qi heard Dongfang Sheng's words, he immediately turned his head to look at Xia Qingxi on the side, only to see that Xia Qingxi's face was pale, his posture was a little shaky, and he seemed to be very angry.
When General Xia Qi saw his daughter's appearance, a touch of distress flashed in his eyes, but he was also glad that his daughter heard Dongfang Sheng's refusal with her own ears, so she should be damned! As soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and he never wanted his daughter to be involved in those palace battles. Perhaps such an arrangement is for the best.
General Xia Qi was about to thank him, but Xia Qingxi took the lead, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen, but the courtiers have already had a sweetheart, and I am afraid that they have nothing to do with this Bai Gongzi, and I also ask Your Majesty to be sympathetic to the painstaking efforts of the courtier's father, so that the courtiers have the freedom to choose their husbands, and the courtiers are grateful." After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times towards Dongfang Sheng.
General Xia Qi couldn't bear his daughter's pain, so he had to kneel down again: "I hope Your Majesty can fulfill the wish of the little girl." โ
Dongfang Sheng looked at the two people below, and had to nod, "Okay, General Xia has worked hard for Shengtian all his life, and he only has one daughter, just follow what the general said!" โ
Watching the two fathers and daughters leave the main hall, Dongfang Sheng's eyes actually showed a little killing intent, according to General Xia Qi's style, it was impossible to give up.
When he got home, Xia Qingxi locked himself in his room.
General Xia Qi heard the sound of ping-pong inside, and shook his head and sighed. His daughter's wishes, he never knew it, but now Dongfang Sheng is no longer the hairy boy he was back then, he is a wolf, a wolf who can tear anyone apart at will.
In that palace change, I saw the situation clearly and stood in the right position, so as to ensure the current peace of the General's Mansion. Although in the eyes of onlookers, he made great contributions to Dongfang Sheng's ascension, but he knew that even if he didn't have himself at that time, Dongfang Sheng would still be able to take Yinchuan City, it was only a matter of time.
Xia Qingxi looked at himself in the mirror, still beautiful and moving, but he couldn't enter Dongfang Sheng's heart, so he was annoyed, picked up the mirror in his hand and fell to the ground.
"Why not? Why? Where am I not worthy of you! The sound of a roar echoed through the devastated room.
All is calm.
The door of the room was opened, and General Xia Qi hurriedly stepped forward, but saw Xia Qingxi, who had an indifferent face, and walked out in a wooden manner.
"Father, I want to marry Dongfang Sheng, you have to help me." Xia Qingxi said in a low voice, "Although he is the emperor, the court still needs the support of the ministers, and if the ministers jointly play for the emperor to choose, he will have to do so." I am the head of the family, so I will naturally be the best choice. โ
Seeing that his daughter had been spelled, General Xia Qi immediately refused: "Xi'er, why are you persistent? The life of the harem is not good, it is dull, is it not good to be happy for a lifetime? โ
When Xia Qingxi heard his father's words, he roared for a moment: "If you don't marry him, would your daughter rather die?" Do you really want to lose your daughter? โ
Thinking that the person he was thinking about would hold other people in his arms in the future and show mercy, Xia Qingxi felt that he couldn't breathe, so he definitely couldn't tolerate such a situation.
Looking at his daughter's determined face, General Xia Qi reluctantly turned around and left, but a sentence floated up, "I hope you don't regret it." โ
The dead ashes in Xia Qingxi's eyes instantly resurfaced, and the originally clear eyes had long been replaced by ruthlessness.
A carriage was galloping down the road, and the wheels were already making a sound of wood clashing because they were so fast that the horses were already running out of breath, but they were still moving forward quickly.
Situ Lie sat in the carriage, picked up the whip and threw it on the horse's back again and again, and when he looked back at the carriage, his originally cold face added another layer of frost.
I saw Hanxin lying quietly in the carriage, his little face as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, and his lips had begun to peel due to lack of water. Only the shallow breath showed a slight sign of life.
Seeing that no matter how much he drove the horse, the horse's pace could not be accelerated, so Situ Lie had to stop and let the horse rest. He then turned around and folded into the carriage, gently lifted Hanxin's upper body, put it in his arms, opened the kettle on the side, poured out some water, and then gently dipped the silk cloth on the side, carefully wiping Hanxin's lips.
The action was like stroking a treasure, gentle and delicate.
