Chapter 93
"Yeah, his stuff is not good."
He Qin laughed, touched Lu Xiaobai's hair and said, "You like folding fans. I will make one for you in a few days."
"That's fine."
Hearing that He Qin was going to give him a folding fan, Lu Xiaobai immediately became very happy and said with a smile: "Don't make it too heavy, I can't lift it."
Actually it’s not that I can’t lift it, it’s just that my hands are sore.
Lu Xiaobai smiled sweetly, and when he turned around and saw the door, he suddenly thought of Li Yuan and frowned and asked, "But, but what did you just say you understood?"
Talking about what happened just now, the smile on He Qin's face gradually disappeared, and then he shook his head and said: "He meant that he wanted me to help him get rid of Han Xiao."
Let He Qin get rid of Han Xiao?
Although Lu Xiaobai didn't understand power, he was also confused and asked in confusion: "Even if Han Xiao rebelled, it's not up to you to help get rid of him. You're not from Beili. What if you help him and he bites you back, accusing you of alienating them, or even murdering the Beili generals? Then, you won't be able to explain yourself!"
This is the legendary "bumping into a car"!
Hearing this, He Qin looked at Lu Xiaobai in surprise, then laughed: "My husband is quite attentive, it's true."
He poured Lu Xiaobai a glass of water and said, "You're right. It's indeed inconvenient for me to interfere in Beili's affairs. Besides, what he said may not be true, and Han Xiao may not have betrayed me."
This matter is very complicated. Even if what Li Yuan said is true, he cannot intervene because it is very likely a trap. Once trapped, he will either pay compensation or go to war.
Moreover, what Li Yuan said might not be true. Maybe it was because Han Xiao's achievements were too great and frightened the emperor. After the world was at peace, Li Yuan could not tolerate him. He wanted to use He Qin to get rid of Han Xiao, and then bite Nan He back and make huge profits from it.
He Qin didn't have to worry about this matter, but He Zhou's whereabouts are still unknown, so he has to be worried.
He Zhou is the noble Fourth Prince of Nan He. Although his life is destined to be sacrificed for Nan He, it is not to be sacrificed in this way.
At least if He Zhou was killed by the Beili people in this way, it would be equivalent to Beili slapping Nan He in the face in a high-profile manner, which would hurt Nan He's entire face!
As for this slap, Nan He could either swallow his anger or fight back. In the end, not only would Nan He be inevitably injured, but he would probably win the momentum but lose the fight.
Even if they win, the country will suffer heavy losses and the people will suffer.
He Qin has to consider Nan He's reputation, the national strength, and the millions of people.
If you have never been an emperor, how can you understand the sadness of an emperor?
"ah?"
Lu Xiaobai was stunned by what he said, and stammered, "No way, telling the truth already has so many traps and dangers, so if it's a lie, no, isn't it even more dangerous?"
He Qin nodded, smiled mockingly and said, "Yes, but what can we do? Born in the royal family, most of these traps are inevitable."
But most people in the world only see the royal power and wealth, but fail to see the hardships behind the imperial power.
If he succeeds, he will be an emperor of all ages; if he fails, he will be considered incompetent. Even worse, he may even be charged with treason.
If the royal family really did those things, it would not be unfair for them to bear these charges, but what if they didn't?
He Qin sighed helplessly, took Lu Xiaobai's hand and said, "But don't worry about these things, I'll take care of them. Go, call Lingyi in to prepare the meal. After dinner, we still have to do the work we need to do. We can't let them delay our own work."
"Oh... okay."
Lu Xiaobai nodded blankly, feeling terrible. Whether he was watching TV or studying history, he knew that there were many royal traps, but, but there were not so many. This was too scary.
With his small head, if he were to deal with this matter alone, even ten heads might not be enough to chop off.
Lu Xiaobai shuddered subconsciously, shook his head helplessly, turned around and hugged He Qin tightly: "Thank goodness I have you."
Otherwise, he might have died within a few days of traveling here.
In ancient times, this was not a place for people to stay.
Moreover, he understood why He Qin was unwilling to stay in the palace, but he did not expect that he could not escape such a fate even if he ran to the countryside.
After carrying He Qin, Lu Xiaobai turned around and went out. Just as he was about to ask Lingyi to get some food, he saw several strange men in black carrying large tree trunks, holding axes and machetes and walking towards their yard with expressionless faces.
Lu Xiaobai was so frightened that he almost fell down. It was Lingyi who helped him up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaobai was trembling with fear, "He, He Qin asked you to go in and make dinner."
After saying that, she turned around in panic, ran towards He Qin and cried, "It's over. If you hadn't agreed to him as soon as possible, they would have come to demolish our house. What should I do..."
He Qin: ...
Demolishing the house, that's not the case...
He Qin followed Lu Xiaobai outside, and Li Yuan appeared. He smiled and said, "Although I'm not used to living here, in order to wait for your reply, I plan to... build a canopy and stay here for a few days. Brother He, do you mind?"
He Qin didn't say anything. It was already a good thing that Li Yuan didn't compete with him for the room. Now others were just building a shed in the yard. It would be inappropriate for him to stop them.
However, Lu Xiaobai, who was almost frightened just now, was stunned, tears still on his face, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say, build, build a shed?"
Isn't it about demolishing the house?
Hearing Lu Xiaobai's words, Li Yuan turned to look at him. He was a little surprised to see that Lu Xiaobai took the initiative to talk to him. After all, Lu Xiaobai had always avoided him since he entered the door.
So he smiled and said, "Yes, if He Fulang is willing, he can come and live here."
Lu Xiaobai subconsciously looked up at He Qin and asked in a low voice, "He asked me to live in his shed. Does that count as teasing me?"
He Qin took a deep breath and shook his head: "No, he doesn't like you."
He Qin glanced at Li Yuan as he spoke.
Li Yuan instantly understood what He Qin meant, raised his eyebrows at Lu Xiaobai, and said in a doting tone: "Yes, I don't like such a well-behaved and cute little husband like you~"
Lu Xiaobai: ...
Something always feels wrong.
He Qin clenched his fists tightly, wanting to lose his temper, but due to the other party's status, he could only hold it in and said in a deep voice: "Lingyi, serve the rice."
After talking for so long, lunch time was delayed. Lu Xiaobai got hungry as soon as he mentioned eating.
But looking at Li Yuan who followed them in, Lu Xiaobai said a little embarrassedly: "Well, Brother Li, we are going to eat."
I don’t know if Li Yuan has eaten or not. If he has, he should just leave immediately. Wouldn’t he feel embarrassed watching them eat?
If you haven’t eaten, why don’t you go back and cook?
They only cooked enough rice for five people, and Lu Xiaobai's bowl was still leftovers from the morning.
There is no food for this treacherous Emperor Beili.
Moreover, the Emperor of Beili would definitely not look down on their brown rice and corn!
Lu Xiaobai wanted Li Yuan to be more self-aware and leave on his own.
But he overestimated Li Yuan's thick skin. He saw Li Yuan calmly walk to the table, lift his robe, sit down with a smile and said: "Thank you for your invitation, young master. I will not be polite."
Lu Xiaobai:!!!
What's going on?
When did he extend the cordial invitation?
He was clearly driving him away!
Lu Xiaobai looked at He Qin anxiously, and He Qin shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Anyway, Li Yuan will understand sooner or later that he is the redundant one.
He Qin said to Ling with a sullen face, "The dishes are getting cold. Ask Ling Er to come out and heat them up. Also, stir-fry a couple more dishes and cook some rice."
Hearing this, Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, resisting the urge to look up at Li Yuan. He saluted and left.
After a while, Zero Two hurried over.
He walked into the kitchen with a defensive look on his face, washed his hands, and put the dishes that He Qin had cooked earlier into the cabinet where Li Yuan couldn't see.
He took another large piece of greasy fat meat and started slicing it...
Li Yuan hadn't eaten lunch and was already a little hungry. When he heard Lu Xiaobai say that it was time to eat, he immediately wanted to stay and have a free meal.
After all, if he didn't eat here, he would go hunting in the mountains and barbecue.
But the barbecue was not tasty and Li Yuan was disgusted.
Otherwise, he would have to go to the farmers' homes to exchange for food, but he really couldn't eat the soups and drinks at the farmers' homes, so he could only eat at He Qin's house.
At least He Qin is the Emperor of Nanhe, so even if he experiences common people's life again, he won't eat too ugly.
But he didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, what he got was a small bowl of corn rice, a pile of white fat meat that was not cooked enough and lacked salt, and a large bowl of burnt vegetables.
Li Yuan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly...
In order to avoid vomiting, Lu Xiaobai turned around and ate with his back to the table, holding his bowl, the moment the food was served.
Anyway, he drinks porridge quickly, and the porridge here is very fragrant, so he can eat a bowl without pickles.
But Li Yuan was not so calm. He looked at Ling Er in confusion, wanting to ask him what he was making.
But before he could say anything, Ling Er said awkwardly, "I used too high a heat when frying the vegetables and accidentally burnt them. So I used a low heat when frying the meat. I put it in the oil and scooped it out immediately. It definitely didn't burn. Your Majesty Beili, would you like to try it?"
Li Yuan swallowed subconsciously. He wanted to eat something delicious, but he didn't expect that this would be it?
He lowered his head, scooped a mouthful of corn rice into his mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, and said, "I think corn is best used to make porridge. Eating it like this is too choking and a waste."
The corn kernels are too small and not soft. They move around in my mouth and feel uncomfortable.
It would be better if you make porridge.
But He Qin shook his head, took a mouthful of corn with an expressionless face, and said, "We are all men. You should understand the amount of food we eat and the amount of energy we consume. Since my guards are there to protect me, they must be well fed, even if it means just corn."
Li Yuan: ...
Forget it, let’s eat first.
I didn't eat properly all the way from Beili to Nanhe, and I even gave the last box of candy to Lu Xiaobai on purpose to keep it secret, so I had no more to eat.
Li Yuan was helpless and took another mouthful of corn, but he heard Lu Xiaobai burst out laughing, and he almost dropped the bowl of porridge with laughter.
Lu Xiaobai finished her porridge, grinned, and stood up. Resisting the nausea of the greasy food, she used her serving chopsticks to pick up several slices of undercooked fat for Li Yuan. Then she said with a smile, "My husband is right. Men have big appetites. You are a man too. You should eat well, otherwise when you return to Beili, you will say that Nanhe was not a good host and did not treat you well. Come, eat more..."
