The Survival Path of a Vicious Female Partner

In the Longyin Hall, Chu Qing bowed down in front of the sage. His voice was loud and he said, "You can see the father and the emperor."

He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chu Qing up with both hands. Chu Qing looked at him. Compared with twelve years ago, he was much older, and his straight back also buckled. When he was in Shacheng before, every time he won a battle, he hoped to come to a decree to forgive him and declare him back to the capital. Now that he truly returned to the capital city with his true identity, he didn't have the happiness he should have.

Suyun Hall was on fire, and he was furious, saying that he would severely punish the arsonists, but finally came to the conclusion that it was caused by the negligence of the cooking maid, so he did not pursue it any further.

Last time he bleeds the blood to treat Chu Ye and was sent to Longyin Hall. Although he didn’t embarrass him, he even gave him a snack and let him rest, but he knew it, in fact, at that time, He already recognized him. If he just treated him as Li Zhao, a courtier, he would not be able to rest in the Longyin Palace. He was testing him by giving them the opportunity to be alone. If he hated him for what happened twelve years ago, he could kill him on this great opportunity.

And he didn't move any murderous intentions, so after that night, he could safely get out of the Dragon Yin Palace. He was born in the royal family, his brothers were broken, and his father and son were jealous, which really made him a little tired.

This time when he returned from Qingyun Temple, before he reached the capital, Lu Xiaoran led a group of officers and soldiers to greet him. They were ready long ago, just waiting for him to enter the city. In other words, his father knew what he would experience when he went there beforehand. He was testing him. See if his wings are really plump, and see if his claws are really hard.

He came back to the capital this time because he heard that Chu Ye said in the letter that he was in poor health and sickness, so he came back desperately. This is the affection of a son to a father.

As for his father, he knew that he was coming back, and he had long guessed that he was Li Zhao, but he did not recognize him and did not disclose his identity, but only after he passed his many tests. His identity was announced.

Thinking of this, he was really chilly!

The Sage looked at Chu Qing with a gratified expression, "Qing'er, how are you all grown up."

"In response to my father, my son is twenty-four."

He nodded, "Twenty is four. That should be the age to get married. I heard that you haven't married a wife yet."

"Yes."

"Xiao Wan, the daughter of Xiao He from the Ministry of War, is sixteen this year. She was born in a shameful month. Qing'er can think about it."

"Father, my sons and ministers already have someone they like."

The sage walked to the dragon bed and sat, his eyes were very peaceful, he couldn't see kindness or anything else, but extremely plain, "The woman Qing'er likes is the eldest lady of Lu Manman, isn't it?"

He also made no secret, "Yes."

Since he knew that he was the one who pretended to be Li Zhao and returned to the capital, then he knew the things he had experienced with Lu Manman, and knew that he had long been enamored with Lu Manman. Of course, he still knows his father and the emperor better. He has always been a person who puts the overall situation in mind. This son and daughter's personal love is in his eyes, and I don't know how far they have been arranged.

"Qing'er, Lu Manman is indeed a strange woman. Unlike other women, she is so courageous that she dared to do something with Yue'er. I still admire such a woman. But...I am already sealed. She is Princess Yong'an. If you count it seriously, she is now your sister."

Chu Qing knelt on one knee, he clasped his fist and said, "Father, that Princess Yongan is just a name, and Lu Manman has no blood relationship with me."

"That being said, it is inevitable that some people will gossip."

He had known that he was Li Zhao, and he had already known what happened between him and Lu Manman, so he also responded to Chu Ye’s request and sealed Lu Manman as Princess Yongan. That was because he wanted to use Lu Manman Princess Yongan. To prevent them from being together.

Chu Qing squeezed his hand tightly, his joints were pale.

The Lu family has been an official from generation to generation, and has been loyal from generation to generation. In the capital, it is already intricate and deeply rooted. Lu Manman is also a daughter of the Lu Mansion, no matter which prince married Lu Manman, it is a great help to him.

He was originally the God of War King, and he held the power of the army, and he was very prestigious in the Shacheng generation.

The world only knows the King of Heaven, but not the current Lord. This is the first hurdle between their father and son. They are not only the relationship between father and son, but also the relationship between monarch and minister. As a monarch, how can he allow his courtiers to be more prestigious than himself.

His only drawback is that he has lived in the frontier for a long time. His mother is just a girl from a small family who was selected into the palace and was admired by the sage. He does not have a strong mother. He has no power in the capital yet, but if he marries Lu Manman again, then he will be even more powerful, and if he has a heart to do so, then the world is within easy reach. Therefore, the saint would never allow him to have a relationship with Lu Manman.

These, he should have expected. But he must express his position and express his mind.

He still holds a trace of luck, which is to let a father know who a son really likes and who he wants to marry.

However, he seemed disappointed again.

Just like every time he wins, what is waiting is not the imperial decree proclaiming him back to the capital, but the rewards again and again.

Is he not understanding his heart?

No, he is a monarch and his father. He understands his heart better than anyone else. He just pretends not to understand.

"Qing'er, if you don't like the daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, there are actually many famous ladies of the right age. Your mother is gone, and the emperor will let Fuyuan father-in-law choose a few good girls for you and put their portraits Deliver it to your house."

"No need."

He sighed, "Qing'er is actually as stubborn as your mother and concubine."

Although he put his mother into the cold palace, he occasionally recalled the happy days together, especially after seeing more of the harem concubine's intrigue, he missed her peace and non-competition, he went I have seen her and have shown that she can be released from the cold palace, but she refused.

She said that things are right and wrong, and the heart has changed, and the heart is cold, and she can't go back again.

She said that Lenggong is very good. Although it is called Lenggong, people's hearts are warm.

What she meant was that in his harem, although the flowers looked like brocades and wrapped in gold and silver, in fact, people's hearts were cold.

These, he doesn't know where. But he is an emperor and has many rights, but he has also lost many rights. Every man has his own home, a wife he loves, and children he loves. Although he has many children, the children are intrigue and fight each other to achieve their goals. His wives have been involved in the struggles of the major families, and they have been fighting over and under.

When he was tired from the affairs of Chu Li's affairs, when he wanted to find a place to rest, no matter which concubine he went to, he would feel more upset.

Their seemingly ordinary words are actually purposeful, he knows, but he doesn't bother to break them.

So in recent years, whenever he was particularly irritable, he went to Lenggong for a walk, drank a pot of tea she made, and listened to her to calm down.

"Father, in terms of feelings, the child minister wants to follow his own heart."

"Want to follow one's own heart, to be able to follow one's own heart, these are all commendable things. I cannot say that you are wrong, nor can I say that you are right, everything has its two sides, right or wrong, because of the difference. Time, place, and characters have changed. The ancient kings all sent their daughters to other countries and kissed them to avoid war. What is Qing'er's opinion on this?"

"Erchen believes that the stability of the country should not be exchanged for the happiness of a woman."

He nodded, and then said: "Qing'er is right. If the two countries really want to go to war, how can one woman stop the war. But if one uses one woman, you can delay time and have plenty of time to prepare for battle. To increase the chance of victory in battle, then Qing'er thinks, should we exchange the happiness of a woman?"

"Women are born weaker than men and should be the object of protection."

"Then Qing'er has ever thought that every soldier who defends his home and the country has his own home, parents, wives, or sisters. If one person dies among them, a family will have infinite His sorrow, his wife will become a widow, his son will become an orphan, and his parents will become lonely. If a woman’s happiness can be used to prevent these and reduce casualties, I think it is worth it. It is said that the emperor is ruthless, but if the emperor is an emperor. Too affectionate, so how can he protect his country and his people?

As smart as you, you should understand what I mean. I deliberately agreed to Ye'er's request and gave Lu Manman the name of Princess Yongan. I understand that you really love her.

You are too empathetic and righteous, and you are too faithful to your promises. Li Zhao saved you. As Li Zhao, you don’t hesitate to protect Lu Manman with your life. A battle with the man in black outside the capital. If your cronies are too late, you Do you know the consequences?

You tried the poison with your own body and used your own blood to get rid of the smallpox on Lu Manman's body. What would happen if you didn't get through it?

Ye'er is seriously ill. I originally planned to take this opportunity to suppress the Lu Family's arrogance, but you turned Lu Manman into the general's mansion despite your own comfort, and did not hesitate to make a military order in front of me for her, if I didn't recognize it. Out of you, do you know what will happen?

Suyun Temple was on fire, and the door was sealed by fire, but you broke in again. If you were not saved, what would you do?

As for Qingyun Temple, your cronies are not in the capital. You learned that Lu Manman was in trouble, so you rushed to rescue her. Knowing that there were traps and ambushes on the road, you still moved forward. You know, if you haven't escaped. What will happen to it?

Qing'er, you lost your sanity for Lu Manman. When you were fighting outside, you were a brave and courageous general. You never acted with enthusiasm, but now, you have become like this for a woman. Try to think about it, if the two countries go to war and the enemy grabs Lu Manman as a bait, will you lose your head in the game? If the enemy army wants to exchange Lu Manman's life for the opportunity to open the city gate, would you be willing? How would you choose the lives of women and people in the city? "

Each of these questions turned out to be too much for him to answer. When he was a child, his mother told him, Qing'er, if you like a woman in the future, you have to treat that woman in good faith. Every woman is selfish. Yes, she is unwilling to share her husband with others. The greatest happiness of a woman comes from her husband.

At that time he asked his mother and concubine, are you happy?

She touched his head, Qing'er, mother is also a selfish woman, mother can feel that your father is affectionate to us, but mother can also feel that he is also affectionate to his other wives and children Yes, a person’s love is limited, if it is divided into too many parts, then each part will be less. Mother's greatest happiness is to give birth to Qing'er.

Because he remembered his mother's words and listened to his mother's teachings since he was a child, he placed great importance on emotional matters. But I didn't expect that after listening to the words of the emperor tonight, I felt that what the emperor said was reasonable.

Her safety and the safety of the people in the city, her safety and the safety of the soldiers and generals, her safety and the safety of the entire West Chu country, how should he choose?

The saint continued: "Born in the house of the emperor, there are many helplessness. You can marry a wife, but the wife you marry is definitely someone who can't contain you. You must understand that you are not alone, and there are thousands behind you. Ten thousand people, you are their faith and their patron saint.

"One month ago, the emperor of the Eastern Liang Kingdom sent a letter, intending to marry me, Xi Chu. He sent his most beloved son over. The oldest princess in the Western Chu Kingdom is Yue'er, but Yue'er is only ten. She is three years old, and what her temperament is, you should understand. If she is really married to Dongliang Kingdom, she will not be willing, and secondly, her marriage will not allow Xichu Kingdom to have a good relationship with Dongliang Kingdom. , But it will be even worse,"

When Chu Qing heard this, he reacted. It turned out that the emperor father had said so much to him to pave the way for this matter. He wanted Lu Manman to marry Dongliang Kingdom as a princess of the West Chu Kingdom.

His tone was firm, "Father, I absolutely disagree."

"Although you haven't seen Yue'er, she is indeed a sister who is connected to you by flesh and blood. Would you like to let her pass? Also, our war with Beijing is just flat, the soldiers are still training, and there are princes in the country. If the dispute does not make a good deal with the Dongliang Kingdom, if the war starts again, the people of the Xichu Kingdom will suffer."

"Father, I believe there will be a way."

"Only sacrificing the happiness of a woman can stop the war in the world, why not do it. Moreover, Lu Manman marries the prince of Dongliang Kingdom, it is her blessing. She does not necessarily sacrifice happiness to be able to become the Western Chu Kingdom. Married, this is her glory, the glory of the entire Lu family."

Chu Qing's voice was sonorous and powerful, "Please think twice."

He looked at Chu Qing and took a few steps back. Although he would not be murderous against him because of what happened twelve years ago, he blamed him for hating him. Although he is still his son, he has lived with the Li family for a long time, and his affection for his father and son, and his brother and sister relationship with the prince and princess has become very indifferent. Although he said that he was the King of the Sky in the West Chu Kingdom, he would cut through thorns and ignore his life for the people of the West Chu Kingdom, but he could not give up Lu Manman because of these.

He drove him out of the capital twelve years ago. He originally wanted to protect him in this way, but now it seems that he is far away from the disputes in the capital, he has escaped the cruelty of the clansmen, and he has grown to spread his wings. Flying eagle.

But he was also completely far away from him, his thoughts were not under his control, and his life was not under his control.

Lu Manman, this woman can no longer keep her in the capital.

His voice was a little weak, "Get out!"

Even if he drove him out of the capital, even if he was so dissatisfied with him in his heart, he would still call him Father Father, but now he called him "Holy Supreme" for that woman.

He got up and walked outside the Longyin Hall, and his words came from behind him, "Qing'er, don't forget, you are the prince of Xichu Kingdom."

He didn't look back, and went straight out.

He remembered that he was the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom, and he also knew that war would bring infinite disaster and pain to the people.

But even so, he couldn't give up Lu Manman, he couldn't let her marry the prince of Dongliang Kingdom.

When he arrived outside the Longyin Temple, Father Fu Yuan met Chu Qing, he walked to his side and said to him: "His Royal Highness, the Holy One has always remembered you recently, and now you are finally back. The Holy One does not know much. happy."

He often thinks of him, is it because he misses it?

He knew he was back.

He turned his head slightly, and said to Father Fuyuan, "Father-in-law, please tell the Lord, there are many unmarried women in the Western Chu Kingdom, and there are many women who want to become princesses and receive honorable glory, but there is only one person in Lu Manman. She is the woman I love, and this king will never allow her to be married."

Father Fu Yuan was stunned. He knew that the prince of Dongliang Kingdom was coming to marry him, but the saint did not say that the married woman was Lu Manman. When King Qingtian returned to the capital today, he rode with Miss Lu Family. Now No one in the capital did not know the relationship between King Qingtian and Miss Lu, but the saint had to tell him the news as soon as they met with King Qingtian. It was natural that King Qingtian could not accept it, but he did not expect that King Qingtian would actually It is for a woman to speak to the Holy Master like this.

He has been with the saint for decades, and he knows a little bit about the temperament of the saint. The more King Qingtian cared about Miss Lu so much, the less likely they were to be together. The Holy Lord has placed heavy expectations on King Qingtian.

Fuyuan is fair and just: "His Royal Highness, what you just said, Fuyuan cannot tell the Lord for you. But Fuyuan has a word to remind His Highness that if Your Highness is really good for Miss Lu, then don’t treat her. Her performance is so sharp, otherwise it will only cause trouble for her."

He glanced sideways, his eyes swept across Fuyuan's father-in-law, and he said, "This king is a rough man who grew up on the frontier, and he doesn't know this. Since this king cares about and loves her, he will not do anything to hurt her, and he wants to be beautiful. The name protects her. If this king is really capable, he will create Ronghua and enjoy it with her. If this king is useless, this king believes that she is willing to share insult with this king.”
