Chapter 67
He Qin was stunned and didn't know how to explain this problem to him for a moment, because he didn't want to admit that he was the dog emperor.
But Lu Xiaobai thought he was hesitating, and tears fell down: "He Qin, you liar, I don't want to go to the Imperial City with you, and I won't give you seeds, just go away..."
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he ran back to his room and didn't even take the purse given to him by Ling Yi and the others.
He Qin hurriedly chased in, planning to find a way to explain the matter tonight.
After all, he has a great reputation in his life, and he doesn't want to always be a dog emperor who likes to imprison people in Lu Xiaobai's heart.
Lingyiyi was used to this and respectfully put the purse away, knowing that Lu Xiaobai would definitely come back to get it later.
But He Yu was no longer calm. He stood anxiously at the door, trying to look inside through the crack, but he could see nothing.
He pulled Ling Er aside and asked, "General Meng, tell me what's going on. Why did the Emperor's sister-in-law dare to treat my brother like this? And she didn't give him a slap in the face, and didn't execute his entire clan?"
Ling Er looked at Ling Yi and the others, pulled He Yu aside, and whispered, "Third Prince, you don't know that the Emperor has always been very kind to Master Xiao Bai..."
——
Lu Xiaobai ran into the room crying. When she saw He Qin coming in, she grabbed the pillow and hit him: "Get out, let's get divorced..."
"You dare!"
Before Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, He Qin angrily said, "Did you forget to mention the consequences of divorce?"
Lu Xiaobai was instantly frightened and sat on the bed in a daze, staring at the fierce He Qin, tears streaming silently: "Then, then what do you mean, are you, are you..."
Should we hand him over?
"no!"
He Qin said no. Although Lu Xiaobai was still very sad, he was still very panicked. He subconsciously asked: "So how do you want to deal with the Dog Emperor? Otherwise, what if he really imprisoned me? I don't want to be locked up like a dog."
He Qin walked over helplessly, gently hugged the person in his arms, thought for a long time, took a deep breath and said: "Xiaobai, actually...actually, I am the emperor of Nanhe, and He is the national surname."
"What?"
Lu Xiaobai was extremely surprised. He struggled out of He Qin's arms, looked at him in disbelief and asked, "You are the emperor... No, that's impossible. If He is the emperor's surname, then you dare to use the He surname to run around outside. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaobai said, He Qin felt for the first time that this silly guy was quite smart and actually knew all this.
He smiled and grabbed Lu Xiaobai's hand, wanting to pull him into his arms and continue holding him.
But Lu Xiaobai took a step back and stopped him from pulling, saying fiercely, "You're lying to me again, aren't you?"
"No."
He Qin couldn't pull anyone over, so he simply stood up and walked over to him, firmly holding him in his arms and said, "Nan He is easygoing. There is no stipulation that civilians are not allowed to use the national surname."
"I don't believe it!"
Lu Xiaobai slapped He Qin in the face and pushed him away, shaking his head and saying, "I don't believe it. I'll go ask Brother Lingyi."
Lu Xiaobai's tears were still hanging on his eyelashes, and they fell down as he ran.
Lingyi and the others had already gone to warm themselves by the fire. Lu Xiaobai ran over and stood in front of them. He wiped the tears from his face and asked, "Brother Lingyi, He Qin said he was the emperor. Is that true?"
When they heard this, they immediately understood that their master had confessed to Lu Xiaobai.
Therefore, they no longer needed to hide their identities. They stood up and nodded slowly, then clasped their fists and bowed to Lu Xiaobai, saying, "Master Xiaobai, this... is true."
Lu Xiaobai was shocked by Lingyi's attitude towards him, as well as the sudden change in tone and address. He was completely stunned: "How is this possible? Such a ridiculous thing actually..."
Lu Xiaobai took a breath and asked again: "If he is the emperor, then you, you are all eunuchs?"
Zero One and the Others: ...
Not all men around the emperor are eunuchs!
Lu Xiaobai's mind went blank. He turned around and looked at He Qin who was following him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
It was He Yu who couldn't help but say first: "I am not a eunuch, I am the Third Prince of the Southern He Kingdom, He Yu!"
After He Yu finished speaking, he took a few steps to the side and took the initiative to separate himself from Lingyi and the other "eunuchs".
Seeing He Yu introduce himself, Lu Xiaobai felt terrible, but what was even worse was that in order to prove that they were not eunuchs, Lingyi and the others also started to introduce themselves.
Lingyi bowed to Lu Xiaobai and said, "I am Lingyi, the leader of the Ling clan's secret guards."
Ling Er: "I am Meng Jin, the son of General Meng."
Being considered a eunuch, Ling San didn't seem too happy, but he was always quiet, so he just said lightly: "I am a subordinate of the Ling family, Ling San."
Seeing that everyone had said so, Ling Si followed suit and bowed, "I am your Majesty's trusted imperial physician, Pei Qianyi."
Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaobai couldn't help but take a few steps back. If He Qin hadn't supported him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.
Lu Xiaobai's eyes were red again. She turned around and grabbed He Qin's clothes, holding back her tears and whispering, "Is this really true?"
He Qin nodded and said, "Yes, I had a conflict with my third brother due to some misunderstandings. The Nan He family rules prohibit killing each other. I was afraid that I couldn't control myself, so I came out."
He planned to let go and hand over the world to He Yu.
But He Yu couldn't hold on any longer, and the world also needed him, needed Lu Xiaobai, so he had to go back.
Otherwise, he could have kept his identity secret and lived with Lu Xiaobai in this rural village for the rest of his life.
Lu Xiaobai's tears instantly flowed out: "Then, then isn't it you that I always scold?"
Moreover, he beat the third prince of Nanhe in the morning!
He cursed the emperor and beat the prince. If he returns to the palace, he will be beheaded, right?
He Qin suppressed his smile, nodded, and said, "Why, do you still want to scold me?"
Lu Xiaobai wiped his tears, sniffed his nose and choked with sobs, saying: "No, I don't dare anymore. You, don't chop off my head, and don't confine me. I'll give you all the seeds..."
He Qin: ...
Cut off Lu Xiaobai's head?
Who dares to chop off Lu Xiaobai's head?
As long as He Qin is here, no one in this world, no matter whether it is Nanhe or the enemy country, can hurt Lu Xiaobai!
He stroked Lu Xiaobai's hair and said, "Don't behead me. Don't worry about my identity. No matter where you are, you can just call me by my name. You don't have to pay homage or kneel down to anyone. No one can force you to do anything. Do you understand?"
Thinking about going to the palace in the future, Lu Xiaobai nodded as if he understood: "Yeah."
Lingyi looked at Lu Xiaobai's confused look and thought with a smile that only the master could protect him like this.
He Yu listened to his brother's words, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His brother had fallen into this brother's hands...
As Lingyi expected, as soon as the two reconciled, Lu Xiaobai ran to him and took the purse, and sweetly called him Brother Lingyi and said thank you.
Zero Two and Zero Four were fine, but Zero One and Zero Three were extremely shocked.
In the past, Lu Xiaobai treated them kindly and called them Brother Lingyi and Brother Lingsan because he didn't know their identities. But why, now that he knows that they are low-ranking secret guards, he still respects them so much?
Lingyi's eyes were red, and Lingsan didn't quite believe it, but looking at Lu Xiaobai's happy back, he had to believe it.
That night, Lu Xiaobai nestled in He Qin's arms and asked, "Do you have a concubine in the imperial city?"
He Qin shook his head: "No."
He had been on the throne for less than two years, and he had devoted all his energy to Nan He and had no intention of expanding his harem.
Moreover, the Nanhe Kingdom had a regulation that in order to prevent the new emperor from becoming complacent, the harem could only be expanded three years after he ascended the throne.
Moreover, when his father died, he had to observe mourning for three years and was not allowed to spend lavishly.
But marrying Lu Xiaobai is an exception, he can afford it.
Hearing He Qin say no, Lu Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.
If He Qin had other concubines, he would not go and would escape tomorrow.
Lu Xiaobai nodded and asked again: "Then, is your father dead? Otherwise, how could you become emperor at such a young age?"
He Qin: "Yes."
Lu Xiaobai: "Then, is your mother still alive? Is she fierce? Is she a woman or a boy?"
He Qin knew what Lu Xiaobai was worried about. He smiled and touched his hair and said, "The Queen Mother is alive and well. She's not fierce and is very gentle. You don't have to worry about these things. Even if the Queen Mother is fierce and doesn't like you, you don't have to listen to her. You only need to listen to me."
Although He Qin said this, Lu Xiaobai was still worried.
Because those emperors on TV almost always say this when they coax women outside, and as a result, they are bullied badly when they return to the palace, framed in various ways, fall out of favor, and even die innocently.
Lu Xiaobai was afraid that the same thing would happen to him, and he had nightmares all night long.
He Yu, who was sleeping in the shed, lay on the bed helplessly and cried, "It's so cold! I'm a prince, but I've fallen to this point. I can't help but sleep in a wooden shed with only three walls!"
If he had known that his royal brother was planning to go back, he would not have come. If he came, he would be beaten, scolded and punished. It would be better not to come!
He Yu sighed helplessly. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now.
As if knowing they were going back, the temperature began to rise on the first day of the new year. The dazzling sun hung in the sky, and the snow on the ground almost melted in two days.
Early in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Xiaobai boarded the carriage back to the imperial city.
He Qin also lay in the carriage with him, gently holding him in his arms and said, "Don't be nervous, it will be just like here in the Imperial City. If you really can't get used to it, we can come back and live here after the famine is over."
Lu Xiaobai nodded, looked out the window at the back of the carriage, waved to the village chief and the others, and said reluctantly, "Yeah."
The journey took a long time. In the past, Lu Xiaobai only knew that flying was fast and it usually only took a few hours to get from one place to another.
But here, the imperial city and Lujia Village were clearly in the same country, but they were a world apart. The few of them rode their horses at full speed and it took them ten days to get back. Lu Xiaobai almost died in the carriage.
When he arrived at the imperial city, he didn't even want to look at the splendor. He just wanted to find a place to lie down quietly for a while, so that the sound of wheels in his head and the feeling of dizziness and nausea from the bumpy ride would disappear.
As soon as they arrived at the imperial city, He Qin got out of the car with Lu Xiaobai in his arms, and flew back directly using light skills.
He carefully placed the person on his dragon bed, gently covered him with a quilt and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest. The Lantern Festival is in two days. I will take you out to play then."
Lu Xiaobai had lost interest in the end. He just stared at the ceiling with tears in his eyes and whispered, "We're finally here. I don't want to ride in a carriage anymore. It's too uncomfortable. He Qin, I want to vomit..."
