Chapter 430: A Heavy Price
Xiao Shuozheng glanced at her lightly and said calmly.
"King Jing sent a message and asked me to come to the dock, I just arrived."
Wei Qingguan faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, he just frowned and looked at the sea like purgatory on earth.
It was a long time before the Wei army came to support.
Looking at the corpses that were carried out, Wei Qingguan's heart ached, and the air was filled with pain.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Ye Shaoyan and Li Rongshi would not have an accident, and that nothing would happen.
The next morning, the fire was extinguished by the sea, and there were corpses floating on the surface of the sea, which looked shocking.
Some of these people drowned, some were blown up, and some were burned to death, and the death was horrific.
By the time Wei Qingguan recovered from the shock, Li Chongshu had also arrived.
Li Chongshu glanced at the messy sea, and said lightly: "For the time being, I haven't found Yafu, nor have I found Ye Shaoyan." β
Wei Qingwan's face was blank, she had expected this answer.
She stared blankly at the sea.
The scorching ashes were still floating in the air, and the red sun slowly rose from the horizon, and the golden light shone on the chaotic sea.
The sea was originally as blue as a mirror, but now it is calm, as if it is afraid of disturbing the broken and calm picture in front of you. Although the fire has been extinguished, the sea still remains with charred wreckage and charred corpses.
Her heart was empty, and her eyes were sour.
Why did uncle and Ye Shaoyan have an accident overnight.
Wei Qingguan couldn't help but suspect that all this was premeditated.
Wei Qingguan knew that she couldn't be sad anymore, she had to cheer up.
She endured the trembling of her body and looked at Li Chongshu's grief-stricken face.
"Yesterday, what did you say to Ye Shaoyan?"
Li Chongshu seemed to understand what she meant, let out a long sigh, and patiently comforted her.
"He said that as long as I agree to your marriage, he will give me the letter of war and help me unify the world, he has no ambition, he just wants to marry you, and he has nothing else to ask for."
The corners of his lips lifted slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile
"I only want to have multiple friends, and he has no ambition to compete with me to dominate the world, he is just a man who loves a woman, not an ambitious bad guy."
"I envy him too, he can do anything for the woman he likes, but I can't! So I agreed to his offer. β
Wei Qingguan raised his head and glanced at Li Chongshu.
She seemed to want to see through his heart, and she wanted to find a trace of lying on his face.
Li Chongshu was frank and open, not afraid of Wei Qingguan's gaze at all.
"Wei Qingguan, I am not so despicable, Ye Shaoyan is the proton of Wei, if I want to kill him, it is as easy as a hand, there is no need to make such a big fanfare."
He looked at the rough sea, a mess.
His heart ached at the thought of the burned fuel.
"Look at how much I lost last night, it's not something I'll do."
He was very sincere and couldn't see the slightest hypocrisy, Wei Qingguan closed his eyes deeply, and replayed everything that had happened in the past few days in his mind.
Li Chongshu said stubbornly.
"Although the temptation given by Ye Tianling is great, as long as you are prevented from getting married, he will give ten cities. But I prefer to sit on the throne! In contrast, it is still the conditions that Ye Shaoyan gives to tempting people. β
Wei Qingguan opened his eyes lightly and glanced coldly at Li Chongshu, who was still trying to defend himself.
"Your Majesty, I want to be quiet."
Wei Qingguan just wanted to be alone and think about it.
Li Chongshu felt that he was asking for hardship, and couldn't help laughing: "You don't believe anything now, and I don't know why, I just want you to believe me." β
Wei Qingguan stayed awake all night, her eyes were red, dry and astringent, and she closed her eyes heavily and rested for a while.
"Do I believe you or not, does it matter?"
Li Chongshu was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "I just don't want to be hated, and I don't like to be wronged." β
"Hmm."
Wei Qingguan didn't bother to pay attention to him, just quietly looked at the sea shrouded in smoke.
Wei Qingguan didn't know how long she had been standing here, until the dirt and corpses on the sea had been cleared, and she didn't leave the dock.
Wei Qingguan stood on the pier day after day and looked out at the sea.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Wei Qingguan figured it out, and she wanted to cheer up.
The burden of the Li family is now on his shoulders, and Ye Tianrui is in Wei again, so he must return to Daqi no matter what.
Although everyone told Wei Qingguan that her uncle and Ye Shaoyan might have been blown to pieces and sunk to the bottom of the sea, she didn't believe it.
Wei Qingguan believes that Ye Shaoyan is a person who believes in his word.
He had promised her that no matter what happened, he would live well.
To die is to see the corpse, and to live is to see the man.
As long as he didn't see the corpse, Wei Qingguan firmly believed that his uncle and Ye Shaoyan were still alive, and they would definitely not die.
She put away her depressed mood and began to take care of the Li family's affairs.
The Li family has a big business, Wei Qingguan naturally can't let it go, not to mention, to send people to the sea to find Ye Shaoyan and them, it also needs a lot of money and manpower.
If she can't pull herself together, the Li family will soon fall apart.
Ye Tianrui is the monarch of the Great Qi Kingdom, how could Li Chongshu let him go like this?
Li Chongshu used Ye Tianrui as a pawn to force the people of Daqi to surrender or submit to Wei.
In Wei Qingguan's view, Li Chongshu's approach is too naΓ―ve and unrealistic at all.
Wei Qingguan couldn't see Ye Tianrui, and he was very worried, for fear that he would be wronged in Wei State.
At this time, Li Chongshu sent someone to invite her into the palace.
Wei Qingguan had no way to avoid it, she wanted to see Li Chongshu.
After arriving at the Wei Imperial Palace, the palace people led Wei Qingguan into the imperial study.
The ministers who had just discussed major matters with Li Chongshu came out one after another.
After a while, the imperial study room was empty, and Li Chongshu sat on the dragon chair, his eyes falling coldly on Wei Qingguan.
Wei Qingguan gave him a symbolic salute.
Li Chongshu sat on the high dragon chair with a tired face.
"Wei Qingguan, do you know what I'm looking for you?"
Even if Wei Qingguan knew, she wouldn't tell the truth, just shook her head slightly.
Li Chongshu was very displeased with Wei Qingguan's careless attitude.
"I have one thing I want to ask you for."
The corners of Wei Qingguan's mouth hooked up a smile.
"I can't help Your Majesty."
With that, she bent her knees and left.
At this moment, Li Chongshu's cold voice came from behind him: "You don't care about Ye Tianrui?" β
As soon as Ye Tianrui was mentioned, Wei Qingguan's footsteps stopped.
"Ye Tianrui committed suicide on a hunger strike, I can't help him, but I can't kill him, I must let him live!"
Wei Qingguan didn't expect that Ye Tianrui wouldn't eat.
But Ye Tianrui is now held hostage by the Wei State, and with his arrogance, he must not want to live.
