The corners of Meng Huang's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a half-smile: "What are you talking about? I valued you very much at the beginning. It was you who gave up on being an official in front of me and followed Mu Yunjing."
"You once said that the people's hearts should not be offended. The people call it water, and the king calls it a boat. Water can also carry a boat and capsize it. Have you ever remembered this sentence?" Lu Hongqing looked at the domineering man in front of him seriously.
, asked without fear at all.
Meng Huang laughed, "Yes, this sentence has always been correct. It has been an iron rule since ancient times. Offending the people of Li will undoubtedly lead to self-destruction." Meng Huang said happily.
"Then you still...?" Lu Hongqing said helplessly, not knowing why he had to do this.
"Even if I offend the people, they are the people of the Mu Kingdom. The people of the Meng Kingdom will never say a word about me. If I still have trouble making a decision on this simple issue about the prince's marriage, wouldn't it be a smile on the world?"
Meng Huang then walked down, came to Lu Hongqing, patted his shoulder and said: "I know very well mentally that Concubine Xia is indeed a beautiful woman, and I have also been in contact with her. She is considerate, intelligent, and always
How can a man not be tempted when he sees such a woman? As Mu Yunjing's servant, you hope to accomplish things for your master. I know this feeling very well, but you were once mine, so try to do it for me
Think about it, I am such a prince, and now my body is getting worse every day, and I can't support it for much longer. If I see that the prince has buried himself and lives a passive life all day long, how can I leave with peace of mind?"
Now that Meng Huang has said this, there is no other room for negotiation. Lu Hongqing glanced at Meng Huang, clasped his fists and said: "Since the emperor has already talked about this, then the villain has nothing else to say.
I just hope that the emperor can treat Concubine Xia well and that the next things will continue to go according to plan."
Meng Huang nodded, "Since I promised the Ninth Prince, there is no problem." After that, Lu Hongqing resigned, walked to the secret door, and ducked in. When he came outside, Lu Hongqing looked at Lan
Lan Tian suddenly knelt down on the ground, and then shouted towards Lan Tian. The sound spread out and headed towards the mountains in the distance.
Now that Emperor Meng had made up his mind and had already made exchange terms with Xia Ziying and discussed it with the prince, the matter had reached the final stage. As long as they were brought together, Meng Zhiqing could be happy.
When Xia Ziying heard what the eunuch who came to report the news said, she immediately fell silent. The day she was afraid of had come, and it came so urgently. After hearing this, Ling'er in the room looked surprised, and she
He grabbed Xia Ziying, looked at her and said: "Sister, tell me, this is not true. You can't marry anyone else. You are already Concubine Xia of the Mu Kingdom. The Emperor has always loved you deeply mentally. You
I am also thinking about the Emperor, do you remember that?"
Xia Ziying smiled bitterly, pulled away Ling'er's hand, and said with a half-smile: "This world is full of interests and demands. Naturally, I remember the emperor's past with me, and I will keep every bit of our time together in my heart.
, every night I think of the time we went to the top of the snow-capped mountains together that year, and when we met the destiny black bird, he said so much to me from the bottom of his heart. I never thought that we would have such a day, God can't bear to see it.
We are together, and if it insists on torturing us like this, then let it do whatever it wants."
"Sister, tell me, this is not what you mean. You will never leave the emperor. You said you would be together forever." Ling'er almost cried and said it, with a hint of worry in her voice.
Begging.
Xia Ziying held her tightly in her arms and said: "Silly girl, don't say that. If I marry the prince in exchange for him getting out of this prison and living a dignified life, then my sacrifice will be the same."
It's very valuable. No one leaves anyone in this world, only who lives better than others, do you understand?"
Ling'er understood what she meant, but she still shook her head vigorously, not wanting to understand Xia Ziying's words at all. For her now, just following the emperor well is the best result.
Xia Ziying let go of Ling'er and slowly came to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face in the mirror was still so beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, and skin that could be broken by blows. Perhaps it was because of these
As a result, my life has suffered so many hardships. Suddenly, I had a thought in my mind, if I destroyed all these beautiful things, would I be able to completely abandon the pain?
Her hand couldn't help but touch the scissors, she held it in her hand and slowly put it in front of her, picked up her black hair, looked at it and was about to make the decision to cut it off, when suddenly Ling'er stopped her hand,
He took off the scissors and said, "Sister, there is no need for you to take it out on yourself. We have encountered some things now, and they are not insurmountable. Don't let your mind wander. If you commit suicide like this, in the future, your Majesty will
How can we live on?"
Ling'er's words immediately calmed down Xia Ziying. She suddenly felt like a deflated balloon. She slowly put her hands on her face and stroked it gently, "Ling'er, tell me, sister, where am I?"
Is it Zhang Jiao’s face that makes those men value her?” After saying that, he turned around and looked at Ling’er.
Ling'er looked at a loss and said reluctantly: "Sister, why do you say that? It's not your fault that you have such a beautiful face. It's our fault that we can't control our own destiny. Women are born to be
Men are shouting and drinking, sister, you are already a lot happier like this. You have to know how many women have a fate hundreds of times worse than you, sister."
Although Ling'er's words were very extreme, they reminded Xia Ziying that in modern times, some women were trafficked by men, suffered humiliation and abuse, and finally died in pain. That kind of life was hellish.
In comparison, I am already very happy now, but for me, happiness is so far away, so far away that it is hard to touch, and so far away that I can't even see it.
Ling'er saw that Xia Ziying was deep in thought, squatted down and said to her: "Sister, let me go and tell the emperor about your matter and see what the emperor's plans are. Maybe there will be a good solution."
Xia Ziying grabbed her and said nervously: "No, Ling'er, this must not be said. If you just say that, the emperor will definitely think of ways to save me, and the reason why I want to do this is
, just want to save the emperor, so let me do the last thing for the emperor. Seeing him depend on others all day long, without any freedom, and depressed, this is not the emperor we like to see, he should be
For a man who is upright, fierce and fierce, and can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger, this matter will be over soon. Then you should stop following me and follow the emperor back to the country. Remember to take good care of the emperor for me."
"Sister, I won't leave, I will follow you." Ling'er cried, tears streaming down her face making people feel heartbroken.
"Silly girl, Mu country is your home. You will never have a sense of belonging here. You will not know anyone else except me. If anything happens to my sister in the future, will you have to stay in Meng country forever? I remember
You still have a mother and a younger brother to support, how could you be so irresponsible for me?" Xia Ziying said, gently holding Ling'er's hand, Ling'er lowered her eyebrows and felt a sense of reluctance in her eyes.
look.
Seeing her worried look, Xia Ziying laughed and said, "Okay, don't worry about me. I will live well. Waiting for you to come see me."
"Sister, Ling'er is not a three-year-old child. Why do you deceive me like this? I just can't bear to leave you. Over the years, we have experienced so much, and we have come through so many times. This time Ling'er really doesn't want to
You and your sister are separated." Linger pouted and complained. She looked at Xia Ziying bitterly, as if she was making her last request.
Xia Ziying still shook her head. She felt a little helpless when she spoke like a child like Ling'er. It was not a trivial matter at this time. If she died in Meng Guo in the future, who would take care of Ling'er? She came to this place and she didn't know
After coming from any dynasty, I finally met a best friend who could tell the truth. If he ended up with a bad end because of me, that would be something I didn't want to see.
Ling'er pouted, with an unhappy look on her face, "Well, since sister wants Ling'er to leave in the future, it's okay, but sister must promise Ling'er that she must take good care of herself and must not do anything stupid.
After returning to the Mu Kingdom, I will ask the emperor to find a way to rescue you. Then our sisters will meet again."
Hearing Ling'er's idea, Xia Ziying suddenly wanted to laugh, but finally held back. It could be seen that she was very serious when she said it, and there was no adulteration in it at all. After all, a little girl treats others like this.
sincere.
"Okay, sister, I promise you, I will treat myself well and take care of myself to see you in the future. Are you happy now?" After saying that, Xia Ziying couldn't help but patted her little head again, not knowing that this little head
He had been thinking about something all day long. Ling'er covered his head and said angrily: "Sister, if you hit me again, I'm afraid that Ling'er will be beaten stupid by you, and he won't be able to take good care of the emperor for you in the future."
"Haha, you little girl, you are still joking at this time, you are really asking for a slap." After saying that, Xia Ziying went to slap her on the head again, but Ling'er immediately dodged away, leaving Xia Ziying in the air.
, the two people immediately started playing happily in the room.
