Bactria Kyoto Yongan Castle. Nanqing Palace.

Xiao Qiye stood in the small building of Jiang Yue, describing him as haggard. Since that day, he was stopped by Xiao Xuan and sent to this small courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was locked, and there were many guards outside the courtyard. The guards were loyal to the prince and ignored whatever he said. He is a scholar, and there is really nothing he can do.

On this day, Xiao Xuan sent Jiang Xinyue's letter, Xiao Qiye couldn't wait to open it, the mutton fat jade fell out, he quickly caught it with his eyes, held it tightly in his hand, and only felt that his heart ached.

Xiao Sui looked at his dejected appearance, sighed, reached out and patted his son's shoulder, and said, "Ye'er, Jiang Xinyue has already made her attitude, she understands better and is more sober than you." It's time for you to let go too. ”

Xiao Qiye gritted his teeth and was silent. Staring at blood-red eyes, "Put it down, father, how do you want me to let it go?" If it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago! Where did the prince of Nanqing come from?! ”

"If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have caused this flying disaster! Didn't Zhu Guangyuan frame you because of her? Xiao Xuan said loudly.

"Father! Was it her fault? If it weren't for this calamity, where would you find your son! Xiao Qiye shouted.

Xiao Xuan seemed to be hit hard, and his voice was hoarse, "Ye'er, are you blaming me?" Blame me for breaking you up? ”

Xiao Qiye turned his face to the side and was silent.

Xiao Xuan's figure shrank down, and after a while, he said: "Ye'er, you complain about me today, but one day, you will understand me." It's not that I want to break you up, in fact, I like Xinyue very much. But you also have a great responsibility. At the beginning, Xinyue found me on my way back to Mobei, and I went to Mobei precisely to normalize diplomatic relations between the two countries. Now the imperial court and Mobei have agreed to make peace, and are ready to marry Princess Mobei Liang'an to the prince of Great Xia, but the only unmarried seventh prince of Great Xia has been in poor health since he was a child, and the king of Mobei is unwilling to marry his daughter to a medicine jar, so the court is considering a suitable candidate. ”

"Father! What do you mean by that? Do you want me to marry Princess Mobei? Xiao Qiye's eyes widened, shocked and angry.

"Ye'er, this is not my idea, it is the emperor's intention. Our Great Xia and Mobei are not enemies or friends, but partners who are allied because of interests and the situation, and the emperor does not want to be too deeply involved with them, so even if the king of Mobei agrees to marry his daughter to the seventh prince, the emperor will find a reason to shirk. The emperor didn't even want the royal family to have anything to do with Mobei, and he didn't want the royal blood to be mixed with foreign blood. Therefore, the only king with a different surname in Great Xia, the princess of Nanqing Wangfu, is the greatest sincerity that Great Xia can get. There was a hint of helplessness and desolation in Xiao Xuan's voice. Perhaps, he shouldn't have recognized his son, and shouldn't have let him succeed to the throne of King Nanqing, if that, Ye'er's life would be much simpler and happier, right?

"Father! I will never agree, in my life, except for Jiang Xinyue, I will not marry anyone, I will not be the son of this world! I'm going back to Qingzhou! You let me go back! Xiao Qiye pleaded.

"Confused! The ceremony of canonizing the prince of the imperial court is over, do you think this is child's play? Holy Decree, there is no second way for you but to obey! Xiao Sui was anxious and sad, but he had no choice.

"Father! That's why you let me confess my ancestors? Be a chess piece for the court, add luster to the power of the palace, as if I have no feelings, no thoughts, I have to marry whoever I want, let me do whatever I want, I am not a puppet, I would rather not be the son of this world, and I don't want to live like this! Xiao Qiye shouted insincerely.

"Shut up! Listen to what you have to say! Xiao Xuan trembled with anger, and his eyes turned red.

"Ye'er, when you say these words, you are poking me in the heart with a knife! I made you take on the responsibility of the prince of the palace and forced you to grow up, which is what you should bear as a man! For all these years, I have not forgotten your mother, my son, whom I thought would have died a long time ago! More than once I fantasized about what my son would be like if he hadn't died, and what would he like to do? He must be a young man who is both civil and military, and is outstanding! Until that day Jiang Xinyue appeared in front of me and told me that you were not dead, but facing death, I was surprised, shocked, overjoyed, and then even greater fear rose from my heart, I thought that if I didn't have time to save you, you would die unjustly, and that blow to me would be devastating! It's like, a person is born blind and has never seen the world, then, he can accept the fact that he is blind, but one day, he suddenly regained his sight, suddenly saw, the sun is red, the mountains and rivers are green, the flowers and plants are flourishing, and he also saw what his relatives look like, and then, and suddenly made him blind again, that kind of despair will definitely make him worse than death! I was in this mood at the time, I didn't delay for a moment, and rushed to the court non-stop, so close to the danger! At that time, I thought that as long as I can have my son, even if I no longer be the king of Nanqing, I am willing, as long as I can let my son live in peace, I am willing to exchange everything I have! But you actually said that I was using you to seek prosperity and wealth, karma, you disappointed me so much. ”

After Xiao Xuan said this, his eyes were full of tears and he trembled.

Xiao Qiye opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He reached out to hold his father's trembling shoulders, but he shrank back and fell to his knees.
