The next morning.

When the Xiliang delegation left, Qin Xuanling was still kneeling in front of the Queen Mother's mourning hall with an expressionless face, without saying a word.

Qin Xi looked ashamed, "Brother Emperor... I was in a hurry that day and said very unpleasant and hurtful words... Go talk to Xihe and tell her not to leave."

Okay? I...I don't have the face to see her..."

"If she wants to leave, she can leave."

Qin Xuanling held a wad of paper money and was about to put it into the brazier. Hearing this, his fingertips paused and were immediately burned by the rushing flames, but he didn't feel pain. No matter how painful it was, it didn't hurt as much as him.

But he still made an indifferent expression, "I am the emperor, the country, the country, the people, none of which is more important than women? Qin Xi, don't be ridiculous!"

"Qin Xuanling!"

Qin Xi gritted her teeth, her face full of disbelief. She stood up suddenly, pointed at him with trembling fingers and cursed, "How could you say such a thing? Have you forgotten, could it be that Xi He solved it for you?

Poison, how can you be today? How can you still be destined to be the emperor?"

Qin Xuanling remained silent.

Qin Xi's eyes were red, "Qin Xuanling, Xihe almost took out her heart and gave it to you, can't you see it?! Do you want her to live in guilt?"

"..." Qin Xuanling only felt that his heart was throbbing, and he almost couldn't hide it. He took a deep breath, "Really? Is there anyone in the world who is a royal minister? As a subject, she can do anything for me.

It’s a matter of duty.”

His voice was cold and hard, like a meteorite falling from the sky, crushing people's hearts into pulp, "Emperor, how can there be any love?"

Of course he was very sad and reluctant to leave, but he didn't want to ruin Xihe's plan. He also remembered the promise he made to Xihe, to expand the territory and bring Dazhou and Xiliang into his pocket, so that she could be justified.

Be your own queen.

So, just act so calm and calm in front of the world.

"...If you don't go, I will. I must keep her. Dashun is her home!" Qin Xi was so angry that her voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth, "Qin Xuanling, you are so heartless.

Unrighteous!"

"Don't be too presumptuous in front of me!" Qin Xuanling said in a cold voice, "Someone, take Princess Youning down."

After such a commotion, everyone in the He Palace knew about it. Even the eldest princess was scolded so badly. Who dared to talk about Xi and Princess behind his back?

——

"Sister, do you still want to wait?"

The Xiliang envoy's car had been parked at Shili Changting outside Chang'an City for half an hour.

Yun Xihe said nothing.

Although she had been mentally prepared in advance and knew that Qin Xuanling must know what she was going to do, she still felt a little emotional when she thought about having to stay away from her hometown of Dashun from now on.

Tuoba Kui told her the news he had learned, "Princess Youning planned to come to see her off, but was stopped by Qin Xuanling. Sister, he has never come to see you until now. Such a man is not worthy of your love."

."

Yun Xihe blinked and pinched himself again, tears falling down, "Really?"

Tuoba Kui coaxed gently, "Why are you lying to me? If sister doesn't believe it, let's wait a little longer?"

"...No need, let's set off."

Yun Xihe forced himself to smile, took a few sips of tea, and fell asleep at some point. When he woke up, he had already arrived at the border of Shuzhou. Outside the car window, the sky was full of glow, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

This is a place farther and farther away from Chang'an.

Yun Xihe squinted his eyes and looked outside, his eyes clear, "I seem to be able to see again..."

"...Maybe my sister is in a good mood." Tuoba Kui smiled, but did not answer her words. He poured her a cup of tea, "I will rest at the inn here tonight, and then set off again tomorrow, etc.

Go back to Xiliang and find a doctor to give your eyes a good diagnosis and treatment."

"good."

Xiliang is a small country, but it has a profound cultural heritage. The capital of Xiliang is called Dala. It is not as luxurious as Chang'an, but more comfortable and leisurely. There is plenty of sunshine here, and I heard that it is also very warm in winter. You can see blooming flowers everywhere

of flowers.

It's a few months' drive from Chang'an.

——

After the Empress Dowager was buried, the Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony and organized it grandly. At this point, Qin Xuanling finally became the emperor of Dashun.

When going to court on this day, the courtiers naturally mentioned the matter of the wedding.

Qin Xuanling raised his eyes and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside. What a beautiful weather. Why do people always say these disappointing things? Then he said, "I will observe mourning for the Queen Mother for three years. There is no need to mention the draft in the future."

The courtiers looked at each other in confusion and wanted to say something else, but faced with their cold eyes, they really didn't dare to say any more nonsense.

Until one day, news came from Luo City saying that Miss Wanqing, who had been recuperating there, was going back to Chang'an.

When Qin Xuanling heard the news, his voice was softer than usual, "Well, I understand."

When Song Wanqing entered the palace, her face was still pale and she looked a little sickly. The light green dress on her body made her even more frail.

But the expression on her face was very joyful, as if she was very happy, and there was a soft smile at the corner of her mouth.

When Song Wanqing was about to kneel down and salute, Qin Xuanling stood up and helped her up, "Why do you care about these false gifts? Are you feeling better?"

"It's still not good."

Song Wanqing stood up with his hand, her clear eyes were gleaming with water, and her voice was bitter, "I stayed in the snow nest for a long time, and it hurt my roots... After seeing each other for many years, Ling

Brother Ling has become the emperor...cough...cough...Brother Ling, when I was in Luocheng, I heard that Xi and my sister had excellent medical skills, so I thought of coming to Chang'an.

, I beg her to diagnose and treat me, I don’t know..."

Back then, her father, in order to carry the seriously injured Qin Xuanling out of the pile of dead, hid the six-year-old her in a snow nest. When he came back to find her later, she was almost frozen.

"She is no longer in Chang'an." Qin Xuanling brushed her hand away, "I will ask people to tidy up Prince Xuan's Mansion. You will be placed there temporarily. As for the doctor, I will find it for you."

Song Wanqing smiled and said, "I listened to Brother Ling... but I'm so hungry. The journey has been bumpy and the food is not to my liking. I only have a cup of tea in my stomach right now."

"What do you want to eat?" Qin Xuanling was particularly easy to talk to her. After all, a little girl who hasn't even had hair extensions is just a child in his eyes.

"Eat roasted sweet potatoes." Song Wanqing showed a nostalgic look, "It's the kind that Brother Ling baked by himself when I was a kid. I've never eaten anything so delicious since I grew up."

"Okay." Qin Xuanling sneered, a little speechless, "What's so difficult about this."

Song Wanqing only ate half of the roasted sweet potato that she had been thinking about for a long time before she couldn't finish it. She took a sip of the bird's nest, and a smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, "It's as delicious as in her memory."

Qin Xuanling still had political affairs to deal with, so he asked someone to send her back to Prince Xuan's Mansion and take good care of her.

Song Wanqing blinked, "Brother Ling, can I still come to you? I'm very scared to be alone."

"Hmm." Qin Xuanling responded casually, "You Ning is currently preparing for her wedding to Pei Jijiu. If you are bored, go find her to play."

"I do not want."

Song Wanqing narrowed her eyes when she smiled. She was very beautiful. Her illness did not detract from her beauty. Instead, it made her even more charming. She looked especially beautiful when she smiled like this. "I want Brother Ling to play with me."

.”

Qin Xuanling paused and said in a cold tone, "I'm very busy." He seemed impatient.
