You are good at seducing people.
"Master Fu, haven't you ever had moments of romantic love? You, Master Fu, are allowed to have a family, but I, Xie, am not allowed to yearn for marriage?" Xie Linyuan felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of Su Qingli.
Even though he went to the border town two years ago in grief, he still couldn't forget Su Qingli.
Perhaps he shouldn't have despised her for not being a virgin and left her so cruelly.
Now I won't regret it so much.
Fu Xuechen narrowed his dangerous eyes, keenly aware of Xie Linyuan's implication, and asked with interest, "Marriage is of course the most important thing in life. I wonder which young lady General Xie is interested in?"
"Master Fu, there is no need to ask about my marriage!" Xie Linyuan felt his chest suffocate for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise on his cold face.
The officials present were silent, and the atmosphere in the court was close to freezing point.
The emperor spoke up at the right moment to smooth things over, clearing his throat. "My two beloved ministers, please discuss any private matters in private. There is no need to bring your emotions to the court. Today's morning court session ends here. Dismissed!"
When the ministers heard the words "stop when enough", they all bowed respectfully to the Supreme Being on the Dragon Throne and left the Golden Palace in an orderly manner.
The weather warms up with the arrival of spring, and the long-awaited sunshine shines on the imperial city.
Below the magnificent palace is a long staircase with brilliant golden light falling on it. Court officials in official attire walk down the stairs in groups of three or two.
Xie Linyuan, who was standing behind him, called out to Fu Xuechen. His expression softened considerably, and his tone was even pleading. "Master Fu, I have offended many people in the court. There are some things I cannot say in public, but I, Xie, would like to speak freely to you now."
Fu Xuechen glanced at him, reading his thoughts. "Thank you, General. If you can't speak, then don't say anything. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you any longer."
Xie Linyuan pursued him relentlessly, stepped forward, and eagerly said what Fu Xuechen didn't want to hear.
"Master Fu, I will pay off what Qingli owes you. Please be kind and let Qingli go!"
"Su Qingli is now my concubine. It is not General Xie's turn to interfere in our family affairs. I advise General Xie not to have any improper thoughts about my concubine. She is mine in life and mine in death!"
Fu Xuechen angrily declared his sovereignty and flatly rejected Xie Linyuan's plea.
Xie Linyuan smiled bitterly, his brows twisted into a frown, "Master Fu, since you don't love Zhong Qingli, why do you have to tie her up tightly and let her suffer?"
Little did he know that the more Xie Linyuan was obsessed with Su Qingli and the more he harbored unreasonable hopes for her, the worse it would be for Su Qingli.
"General Xie, even if I don't love her, I will never let her be with someone like you. You were disgusted with her losing her virginity to me and resolutely abandoned her. How can you have the nerve to talk to me about her future today?" Fu Xuechen said indignantly.
"You might as well tell General Xie that she didn't really lose her virginity to me back then, but you didn't know how to cherish it. For a man like you who is bound by prejudice, losing her is actually a good thing! If you don't want to go to the border, then stay out of our business."
Upon hearing this, Xie Linyuan was stunned and petrified on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
Fu Xuechen's words were like a heavy hammer, making his head buzz.
Xie Linyuan took two steps back in despair and fell onto the steps.
After a long time, he clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked. Considering that Su Qingli was staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion against her will, he felt that he still had a chance.
As long as they can rescue Su Qingli from the sea of suffering, they may be able to reconcile.
"Master Fu, you are deliberately trying to separate Qingli and me. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Facing Fu Xuechen's threats and provocations, Xie Linyuan asked loudly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials stopped and looked at Fu Xuechen with a curious look on their faces.
Fu Xuechen stopped, turned around and walked towards Xie Linyuan step by step.
He lifted Xie Linyuan's collar with one hand and punched him viciously in the face.
Xie Linyuan was not willing to be outdone, and swung his fist back to punch him.
Fu Xuechen's fists came more fiercely, falling like raindrops, and Xie Linyuan, a military general, almost couldn't resist.
"Lord Fu looks gentle and refined, but I never thought that he is also powerful. It is me, Xie, who underestimated you." After saying this, Xie Linyuan fought hard and did not dare to underestimate the other party anymore.
After a round of fistfights, Fu Xuechen and Xie Linyuan were both injured.
Xie Linyuan's injuries were more serious, and it was the eunuch beside the emperor who came to deliver the message and persuaded the two men who were fighting to stop.
"Your Majesty has ordered that fighting is prohibited in the palace!"
No one dares not to give the emperor face.
Fu Xuechen glared at Xie Linyuan angrily, dusted off his dusty Qilin robe, and took the initiative to part ways.
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fu Xuechen opened his mouth and questioned Su Qingli unhappily, as if interrogating a criminal, "Miss Su, your old lover, General Xie, really loves you deeply. He fought with me for you. All these injuries I have are caused by him."
Su Qingli didn't know why, so she stood by and asked, "What do you mean, Prime Minister? I've made it clear that General Xie is an old friend, and what he did has nothing to do with me."
"Really, Miss Su? Don't even think about getting away with it. Come and apply the medicine on me."
Fu Xuechen pointed to the medicine placed on the table and ordered Su Qingli to apply the medicine to her. He stubbornly blamed Su Qingli for the harm caused to him by Xie Linyuan.
Su Qingli knew that he had been moody ever since he became the Prime Minister, and things were getting worse now.
The tender white fingertips picked up the medicine box and applied it to Fu Xuechen's dark cheeks.
She simply kept silent, for fear of making more mistakes.
It can be seen that Fu Xuechen cares a lot about Xie Linyuan's affairs and is preventing her from having any contact with Xie Linyuan. In fact, she has already forgotten about Xie Linyuan. Why would Fu Xuechen bother with this?
Perhaps it was because the Prime Minister's reputation was more important than anything else that Fu Xuechen treated her so unkindly.
"Miss Su, you are truly capable. General Xie, despite not being stationed at the border, returned to the capital specifically to care for you, whose property had been confiscated. You were the one who informed him of our deal, right?"
After Fu Xuechen sat down, his face became gloomy. Su Qingli's touch on his skin made him irritated and uneasy, and he blurted out suspicious words.
Su Qingli didn't want to ask about their past, but Fu Xuechen's words were full of thorns. She didn't want to be wrongly accused of something she hadn't done.
Her voice was cold and clear: "Master Prime Minister, why do you think so? What did General Xie say to you? Why did you have a conflict?"
Fu Xuechen suddenly grabbed Su Qingli's chin with great force. "Miss Su, stop pretending nothing happened. Your innocent face is annoying! Xie Linyuan fought with me just for you. Your ability to seduce people has really improved."
