After hearing this, Ling Xiao stopped and wanted to hear how Marquis Zhongyuan responded.

But Li Wenji didn't give him a chance. She forced him out of the Moon Gate next to her, stretched out her arms and hugged his waist, crying: "Is the incident about the concubine true or false? Such a big thing happened. Why didn't you tell me? Do you know how worried people are? You were fine over there, but you didn't come to tell them. It was only after my father told me that I found out. Do you have someone in your heart? "

Ling Xiao was startled by her actions, held her shoulders and pushed her away, "Do you think I'm okay now?"

Li Wenji pouted her lips, looked him up and down, and said angrily: "Anyway, you will remember it from now on. No matter what happens, you must tell me as soon as possible, so as not to make me worry so much that I almost died of panic." ."

Ling Xiao thought about what he had agreed to that woman's words last night, took a step back, coughed slightly, and said, "I came today because I have something to tell you..."

"Let's go sit in the wing and talk." Li Wenji smiled and walked to the east wing and said, "I'll have someone bring you some fruit. My aunt brought it from Jinling during the Chinese New Year."

The Xianwang has never been very favored, so although the location of the Xianwang's mansion is good, the space is not big.

Fortunately, the population of Prince Xian's Mansion is simple. There are not many masters, but it is enough to live in. However, there are a lot of servants. During the day, the courtyard is full of people coming and going.

Ling Xiao looked around and went to the wing with Li Wenji.

Li Wenji was like a happy bird, circling around Ling Xiao, "This is the tea collected by my grandfather. You taste it. If it tastes good, I will get you a pack."

Ling Xiao took the tea cup and said in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "Li Wenji, I have something to tell you."

"What's going on?" Li Wenji sat next to him and pushed the snacks on the table in front of him.

"I told you before that I released the engagement information just as a temporary measure. Now I have decided to go to the border to resolve the matter with you."

"Resolved?" Li Wenji looked at Ling Xiao with a serious face, not quite understanding, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You can use this incident at the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion as an excuse to announce to the outside world that you have no engagement with the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion." Ling Xiao said.

"I denied the engagement when you were in trouble, and a few days later, your palace clarified the matter. Then I, Li Wenji, became a blind fool?" Li Wenji's eyes suddenly turned red, "Ling Xiao, are you trying to push me to a dead end?"

"The Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion will not explain this matter, and I will leave the capital for a while." Ling Xiao said, "I will not return to the capital in the short term."

"Marquis Zhongyuan returned to the capital in a hurry, and the emperor did not reprimand you, nor did he cancel your status as heir apparent. Isn't this the best explanation?" Li Wenji took out a handkerchief and covered her face, sobbing: "Besides, a while ago , because of your matter, I waited outside Mrs. Wei's courtyard for more than an hour, froze at the palace gate for two hours, and was thrown on the street..."

Li Wenji just pretended to cry at the beginning, but in the end, she was really heartbroken.

When had she ever done such a shameful thing?

She had lost all her face because of the man in front of her, but this man said such heartless words...

"You don't have something to hide, do you?" Li Wenji looked at him doubtfully, "Isn't it because the matter in the Hou Mansion has not been resolved yet, and you are afraid of dragging me down?"

"It has nothing to do with anything else," Ling Xiao took a sip of tea and said, "You and I grew up together and have known each other for more than 20 years. I really treat you as my sister..."

"You lied!" Li Wenji interrupted him, "It's all because of your mother... Mrs. Hou, she was afraid that you would find someone with a prominent family background to overpower her, so she always instilled bad thoughts about me in front of you. She If she was really good for you, she should have come to propose marriage a long time ago." Ling Xiao had to admit that Li Wenji was telling the truth. Mrs. Yang really said in front of him that Li Wenji had a bad temper and was not suitable to be a mistress.

But these are not the reasons why he does not marry Li Wenji.

He didn't know what it felt like to like someone before. He just thought that it would be the same for anyone he married, as long as he was a good match, his parents approved, and he could continue the family line.

But it was only after he met Zuo Xiangning that he knew what it felt like to like a woman.

Even if everyone disagrees, he still wants to be with her.

Even when he was angry with Zuo Xiangning, he thought that if Zuo Xiangning didn't agree to be with him, he would force her to stay with him.

"You have known me for such a long time, you should know my temperament. I just look a little arrogant, but in fact I am the most reasonable and kindest, and I am sincerely good to you. And I am the only one in the Prince Xian's Palace. Girl, Prince Xian’s Mansion will be your best support in the future, and it will be of great benefit to you without any harm." Li Wenji kept talking.

She had never realized that her eloquence was so good.

But these words also made her particularly embarrassed.

But she couldn't care so much at this time.

"If you really have to go to the border, then just go and I will wait for you in the capital." Li Wenji wiped the red and swollen corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "If you go for one year, I will wait for one year, and if you go for ten years, I will wait for you for ten years."

Ling Xiao was blocked by Li Wenji for a long time and couldn't say a word. When Li Wenji stopped talking completely, he calmly said: "Didn't we make an agreement at the beginning? I really regard you as my sister. It's not appropriate for us to be together. , even if we are together reluctantly, we will not be happy in the future."

"How do you know you're not happy?" Li Wenji looked at the unmoved Ling Xiao, and gradually felt a little annoyed in her heart: "We were very happy together before, weren't we? Why can't we be together now?"

"Before, we were all young and ignorant. We talked and played together and were just friends. But now that we have grown up, what we are looking for is not a playmate, but someone with whom we can spend our whole life." Ling Xiao said: "Human life is very long. I hope that I can live a happy life, and I also hope that you can live a happy life."

Li Wenji's face turned pale and she asked nervously: "Do you have someone you like in your heart?"

Ling Xiao almost nodded and admitted.

But seeing Li Wenji's face was so ugly, he didn't want to irritate her, nor could he bear to hurt her, nor did he want Zuo Xiangning to appear in front of everyone in this situation.

"You think too much." Ling Xiao felt that he had expressed his meaning clearly. He stood up and said, "I'm going to see what my father and King Xian are talking about."

For more than ten years, Li Wenji has only had Ling Xiao in her heart. She knows Ling Xiao very well.

The reason why he didn't agree to be with her was definitely not for the reason he said.

As soon as Ling Xiao stepped out, Li Wenji sent someone to go to the front yard to find the wise king. "I want to find a way to find the wise king before the crown prince. Just tell me that I am at the back door of the study. There is something urgent and I need to see him. I must see him immediately!"
