Xing Bang transmigrated into the palace as a fake eunuch. He started in the Cold Palace, where there were not only abandoned concubines but also the female family members and daughters of convicted...
“No!”
Liu Li hurriedly stopped Liu Zhixi who was about to turn around and leave. He just had many doubts in his heart, but it was not that he didn't want to believe his daughter.
Moreover, no matter what, we cannot go to war with the imperial court at will, otherwise, it will be a waste of time and effort.
As you can imagine, not only would he lose his daughter, but it would also be a huge shame if the news got out.
It was impossible for Liu Zhixi to leave in anger. She was helpless now. She didn't want to betray her father, nor did she want to let her husband down.
Therefore, she would rather die on the battlefield, as it would be considered as fulfilling her duty.
After coming back to her senses, Liu Zhixi didn't say much, but her expression was full of helplessness and disappointment.
"Xi'er, father knows what you are thinking, but father is helpless. If there is any way out, even if it means shaving my head and becoming a monk, father does not want to cut off ties with my ancestors, but your uncle will never give father this opportunity."
"Also, Xi'er, it's not that father doesn't trust you. You are father's most outstanding and most beloved daughter. How could I not trust you? It's just that this matter is of great importance, so I have to be extremely careful."
Liu Li knew that his daughter was angry, but he didn't expect that she would hate Northern Qi so much.
He really wanted to not have any suspicion towards his own biological daughter, and not trust her at all, but the one he didn't trust was Xing Bang...
A daughter who is married off is like water spilled, this is an eternal truth.
What's more, that boy, as a eunuch, could reach such a prosperous level. It was no joke. It was possible that he could make his daughter fall in love with him.
However, Liu Li had no choice now. It was impossible for him to meet that boy again, and he could only do it through his daughter.
Logically speaking, Liu Zhixi can no longer be said to be a member of his family, but he still has to say polite words and comfort her.
To put it bluntly, Liu Li knew Liu Zhixi's character very well. She was a very strong-willed person. Knowing that he had such plans, he might have some strong opinions about him.
It is impossible to respect my old father as much as before.
Thinking of this, Liu Li paused and said, "Xi'er, although it is not appropriate for your father to say something, it is of great importance, so I still want to ask you."
"Father, if you have anything to say, just speak frankly. No matter what you ask, your daughter will answer you frankly."
Hearing this, Liu Zhixi answered without hesitation, and could guess something in her heart.
It was obvious that the father was moved, but he just couldn't fully believe it. He must be trying to test him.
Liu Li nodded and continued, "Xi'er, um, that boy treated you..."
Having said this, Liu Li paused subconsciously, looking at Liu Zhixi with something that was difficult to express.
However, Liu Zhixi knew in her heart what her father wanted to know.
There was no display of embarrassment, as the depression in his heart was greater than these things.
"Father, my daughter understands what you mean..."
"She treated my daughter with great respect, which was different from the imagined eunuchs who were all shady villains."
Liu Zhixi did not hide anything and basically told the actual situation, but that secret could not be told.
Hearing this, Liu Li nodded and said, "Well, Xier, are you sure you can get him to surrender now without waiting any longer?"
"Father, let me tell you this. If this is the case, your brother is in great danger in Northern Qi..."
"If you are lucky enough to accomplish great things, your father's legacy will be yours after a hundred years."
Hearing this, Liu Zhixi frowned slightly, and she understood. The reason was simple. Her father just didn't want to take the risk and hand over his family to others as hostages.
Also, he didn't want to wait any longer. He just wanted to get the Xing Bang to help him. As for how much strength it could bring, it didn't matter.
If this is the case, then I can kill two birds with one stone. I don't have to send my family over. It also makes sense and I can just go alone.
The important thing is that Xing Bang’s intentions and sincerity can be seen more quickly.
Liu Zhixi did not think too much and answered directly: "Father, I understand what you mean. He is very fond of his daughter. It can be said that he has deep feelings for her."
"But, father, let's not talk about whether my daughter can speak or not. He is a smart man. Even with my daughter's guarantee, you still have doubts, let alone him?"
"He must have many suspicions and precautions in his heart. How could he take such a step so easily?"
"Then, Xi'er, do you think he is truly loyal to his father?"
Liu Li understood this logic very well, and thought that this was just a final test for his daughter. His answer was very frank, which made him feel a little more comfortable.
Liu Zhixi said without hesitation: "Father, I really can't guarantee whether he is wholeheartedly devoted to me or has any other intentions."
"But there is one thing that my daughter is very confident about, and that is that his feelings for her are genuine."
With these words, Liu Zhixi was fair and impartial. At the same time, she also realized that her father had basically dispelled his doubts and accepted it.
Compared with surrendering to Northern Qi, Liu Zhixi naturally chose the strategy she and Xing Bang had planned.
In her mind, surrendering to Northern Qi was a road of no return, and it would be a life-or-death struggle, and most importantly, it would be even more humiliating.
So, in the end, Liu Zhixi thought, it would be better to protect her family first. As for her father's final outcome, that was not something she could reverse.
As expected!
Liu Li hesitated for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief: "That's fine!"
"Xi'er, father believes in you. Just do what that kid wants."
"Go see your mother first, and then your father will give the order. Take them and leave."
Since Liu Li had made up his mind, he naturally would not change it. However, he could not feel relaxed and happy. He waved his hand helplessly, signaling Liu Zhixi to leave.
It was obvious that Liu Li wanted to be quiet at this moment.
Liu Zhixi nodded. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing more to say. She had done her best.
She had no hesitation in not going back to fight against the imperial court together with her father to the death, but she would rather die than completely break away from Dayao's betrayal of his ancestors.
Moreover, she was also very clear that if her mother knew that her father wanted to defect to Northern Qi, she would most likely rather die than do so.
