Long Bing'er chased Xu Qing on the path and looked at Xu Qing who was walking. He crossed his arms and glanced at him: "The Chu people who escaped from the battle!"
Xu Qing glanced at Long Bing'er: "Follower Zhao Guoren."
This girl has gone too far!
To be able to catch up here from the banquet?
Just as Long Bing'er was contemplating vocabulary, Xu Qing saw the swaying King Qi not far away staring at Li Mingyue with ill intentions.
And Li Mingyue did keep retreating.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qing frowned, what did King Qi want to do?
Taking advantage of the night of flowers and candles in Xiao Ye's bridal chamber, when no one can control him, let him go and let himself go?
Intention to tease Princess Zhou?
This is not acceptable, not to mention that it is a crime to molest a woman from a good family, and she is also a princess of the Zhou Kingdom, although Li Mingyue is a princess with almost no status.
But since this mission is carried out in the name of a princess, it represents the face of Zhou State.
Zhou Guozheng was worried that he could not find an excuse to start a war!
According to the calculations and plans of Xu Qing and King Xian, it is not yet time for Zhou to take action, let alone Chu.
At this time, King Qi made a mistake and even caused conflicts in advance.
Having said that, even if Li Mingyue was just an ordinary woman without the title of princess, Xu Qing could not stand by and watch. The education he had received since childhood did not allow him to do so.
Just as Li Mingyue kept retreating, she suddenly bumped into a warm chest. Li Mingyue turned around in panic and saw a handsome face.
"An...An Ding County uncle."
Seeing Xu Qing, although Li Mingyue was still a little panicked, her heart felt much calmer. Perhaps Xu Qing helped her without asking for anything in return last time, so this time she faced Xu Qing again.
There is an inexplicable sense of trust.
[Anyway, the reason why Li Mingyue feels stable is not because Xu Qing is the uncle of Anding County and has the attribute of stability. 】
King Qi looked at Xu Qing with squinted eyes and a hint of drunkenness in his words: "Uncle Anding County, have we met again?"
The tone of voice was so clear, it seemed that he was not completely drunk, but just wanted to do something he didn't dare to do with the help of alcohol.
Even so, Xu Qing still found a step up.
Xu Qing walked up to Li Mingyue, looked at King Qi and said, "His Royal Highness is drunk, so you should go back home early."
It's Xiao Ye's wedding now. If there is a conflict, it will lose the face of King Xian and the face of Chu State. It would be better for everyone if King Qi knows better and takes the initiative to withdraw.
King Qi looked at Xu Qing and said, "What if I don't go back?"
Xu Qing said: "Does Your Highness know the consequences of causing trouble in Prince Xian's Mansion?"
King Qi sneered and said: "The consequences? Do you think Xiao Ye can still come here at this time? Who can protect you?"
Xu Qingdao: "If today's incident is spread, I'm afraid it will have an impact on His Highness's reputation. Aren't His Highness afraid that the position of the East Palace will become farther and farther away from His Highness?"
"Fengju? The position of the East Palace? Ridiculous!" King Qi broke the jar and said: "Does the Anding County uncle think that this king is still destined for the position of the East Palace?!"
Sure enough, Xu Qing said that even if King Qi was a fool, he would not be so stupid. King Qi was once the son of a beloved concubine and had been competing with two other princes, no, one prince for the position of the East Palace.
King Xin has always looked weak, helpless, pitiful, but cheerful, and is not in the competitive ranks at all.
If King Feng finally ascends the throne, how will King Qi end well?
The end result is probably that he will either die of illness on the way to the fiefdom or die of acclimatization in the fiefdom, or even worse, a group of bandits who have received professional military training will rush out halfway.
In short, once you fail to seize the rightful son, your life and reputation will be ruined.
Fail? Give up?
The person who wins the bet is life! Failure means death!
Is it okay to just admit defeat?
Deep in despair, King Qi finally began to let things go.
As for morality, law and Xiao Ye?
[See clearly, this is a progressive relationship.]
He only has a few years left to live, so he still cares about this?
Don't take advantage of the few days to enjoy it.
others?
Even after I die, the floods will be overwhelming.
King Qi approached Xu Qing unsteadily: "Get out of the way!"
Xu Qing said: "What if I don't let you?"
King Qi wanted to reach out to grab Li Mingyue, who was lying behind Xu Qing, but Xu Qing grabbed his arm.
King Qi narrowed his eyes and said: "Does the uncle of Anding County know the following crimes? Is it worth it for an unpopular princess in a foreign country?"
Xu Qing looked at King Qi and said: "The state-owned laws are worth it even for an ordinary woman."
Li Mingyue, who was held behind by Xu Qing, looked at the tall figure in front of her in confusion, but her heart was filled with emotion and warmth.
But soon Li Mingyue began to blame herself again.
The county uncle of Anding offended the eldest son of the emperor of Chu State because of her. How can he continue to live peacefully in Chu State in the future?
He helped him repeatedly, but he was so weak that he had no ability to repay him...
It even delayed his future.
How can I repay this kindness?
Feeling King Qi's harder and harder arms, Xu Qing said: "Your Highness is injured. If you move violently, I'm afraid the injury will recur. Let's stop here. It's good for Your Highness. Don't let the leg injury recur."
Just when the two were in a stalemate, a figure came over.
After King Feng approached, he saw King Qi and Xu Qing and smiled and said: "So the emperor is here? How rude."
King Qi retracted his arm, looked at King Feng, and said coldly: "What are you doing here? To watch my jokes?"
Prince Feng quickly shook his head and said, "Brother, why did you say this?"
King Qi said: "From now on, your Highness, Prince Feng, will probably already be firmly seated in the East Palace. If you didn't come to see my joke, why would you come here?"
Prince Feng said: "Brother, you are worrying too much. I have never thought of competing with my brother for the throne. This is really a huge misunderstanding."
King Qi glanced at King Feng coldly: "Do you think I will believe it? Will you let go of the throne you have obtained?"
Prince Feng shook his head quickly and said: "Since ancient times, the throne has been inherited by the eldest son. How can the emperor's brother get a younger brother here?"
King Qi had a look on his face that said: "If you don't want to seize the direct line, why are you trying to steal the credit from me over and over again?"
Prince Feng said: "What an injustice! How can I dare to compete with my brother for credit? It's obvious that my father insists on doing it, and I can't refuse!"
"Furthermore, Brother Huang, you might as well think about it. When did the younger brother not just finish what the father ordered and immediately make a mistake? This is because the younger brother knows that he is not worthy of the position of the East Palace, so he gives way again and again. Little Brother
All this is done to wait for the emperor to sit in that position!"
When King Qi heard this, he couldn't help but think about it and found that it was indeed the case. Could it be that he had really wrongly blamed this third brother all along?
At this time, Prince Feng supported Prince Qi and said: "Brother, don't be anxious. Something happened to Concubine Hui, which has affected your brother. There is still room for remediation for small things, but if your brother makes a mistake at this moment, it will be terrible."
It can no longer be difficult to remedy this! Come on, Brother Emperor, you and I will discuss this matter in the long run."
With that said, King Feng helped King Qi turn around and walked in the opposite direction. King Qi actually believed a bit of King Feng's words and was supported by him and followed him.
Then Xu Qing saw Prince Feng's other hand behind his back, making a gesture to Xu Qing, a gesture that said "Don't worry, it's done."
