Chapter 19: Inner Struggle
Xie Chengxuan smiled, but that smile was full of helplessness, Su Wanning, would she be willing?
From the first time he saw Su Wanning, he felt that he was destined for her, at least, he did not reject her.
Returning to Qi State, these days when he was separated from her, he didn't think about her for a moment, and her figure lingered in his mind.
Xie Chengxuan thought: Probably, he really fell in love with her.
He suddenly felt that he was really lonely living alone, as if he was looking for someone to accompany him, but he didn't know: Su Wan would rather or not.
These days, he had thought about the outcome with Su Wanning, and he really couldn't imagine if she really married He Yu, would he collapse. He couldn't watch the woman he loved become someone else's wife.
Xie Chengxuan probably really fell in love with Su Wanning.
He is very similar to marrying Su Wanning, he keeps fantasizing, how can he make Su Wanning fall in love with him and marry him willingly?
But an answer came out in her heart, Su Wanning didn't love him at all, as far as she was concerned, he was just a passerby in her life, just a pawn she used to sabotage her and He Yu's wedding, she wouldn't fall in love with him at all.
Xie Cheng also thought about whether he could find a way to make Su Wanning fall in love with him? The answer was, no.
Thinking of this, Xie Chengxuan was very disappointed, although there were many women who wanted to get close to him, and he saw a lot of all kinds of women, but he had never really touched a woman.
Years of fighting on the battlefield and fighting for his life in the tiger's wolf's den made him ruthless and cruel, lacking patience, and coaxing women was not his strong point.
He was helpless against Su Wanning, and he didn't know how to win her favor at all.
In the struggle of thoughts, a sick thought gradually arose in Xie Chengxuan's heart: could he forcibly tie her to his side regardless of her wishes.
That out of his identity as the crown prince of Qi State, out of the majesty of letting Yan State cede land and pay compensation five years ago, he took out the means to make others submit to him, and used the same and most ruthless means to force Su Wanning and make her obediently accept her fate.
Let her lose her parents, lose all her support, and come to the country of Qi and this strange place alone.
Here, she doesn't know anyone, and she can't rely on anyone.
In this world of the jungle, the only person she knows is him, and as a weak woman, if she wants to live, she must rely on him, obey him, and become his woman.
What's more, he even considered taking the real Gu poison for her and tying her up for the rest of his life, so that she could not escape.
However, Xie Chengxuan loves her, he doesn't want to use means to possess her, he wants her to fall in love with her and willingly become his woman.
If he really forced her to marry, with Su Wanning's temperament, he might rather die than obey.
Xie Chengxuan sat down on the ground, looking at the round of contemplation in the sky, thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh.
He gave Su Wanning the hairpin, I don't know if she likes it or not?
The "love letter" he wrote to Su Wanning, I wonder how she will feel after reading it?
Yan Guo
Yandu
Palace
After seven days of traveling, Xie Ci finally came to Yan Kingdom and met the emperor of Yan Kingdom.
If it was an ordinary letter, it would take a month to send it from Qi to Yan, and the reason why he was able to come to Yan State so quickly was all thanks to those sweaty BMWs.
You know, the reason why he was able to compress the journey from thirty days to seven days was entirely due to the nine sweaty horses that died of exhaustion and the day and night, sleeping only one or two hours a day.
Xie Ci really couldn't imagine how Xie Cheng managed to rush back to Qi from Yan State in fifteen days at that time?
You know, he was seriously injured at the time, and there was no replacement horse on the way.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The thank-you greeting met the emperor smoothly and handed him the letter.
The thanksgiving showed neither humility nor arrogance, neither contempt for Yan Guo, nor groveling because the other party was the emperor.
He came to Qi on behalf of Xie Chengxuan, and when he saw that the emperor did not kneel, he stood in front of him and presented the letter with both hands, which completely showed the demeanor of the envoys of the great powers.
The emperor took the letter and opened it.
Seeing the content of the letter, he gasped, he was very happy, glad that he had seen that the jade pendant had released Su Wanning and had not given her the death penalty.
The content of this letter is all about Su Wanning, asking him to pardon Su Wanning for canceling the wedding, not allowing embarrassment of the Su family, etc., and the content of the letter is all about Su Wanning except for the formulaic content of the last sentence "May His Majesty Yan Guo live forever and be safe".
Fortunately, fortunately, Su Wanning was not killed at the beginning, and if Xie Chengxuan was offended because of this, Yan Guo would be worried about the future in the future.
The emperor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, asked and said, "Dare to ask your envoy, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to Miss Su?"
Xie replied without humility or arrogance: "Your Highness has not mentioned it, and the lord's mind and courtiers dare not speculate, but"
"Just what?" the emperor hurriedly asked.
Xie Ci looked into the emperor's eyes and said: "Your Highness sent me to give this letter to Your Majesty, and secondly, to send something to Miss Su, Your Highness specially sent me to send a hairpin and a letter to Miss Su, this is the first time Your Highness has sent something to a woman." ”
The meaning in the words of thanks is obvious, and the meaning in his words is to say: Our Highness sent something to a woman for the first time, why don't you know what this means? In the future, Su Wanning will be His Highness's woman, if you dare to embarrass him again, he will embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince!
After a polite and routine affair with the emperor, Xie Ci returned to the post station, changed into civilian clothes, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
