Chapter 280 I have a destiny with you
Xiangying turned his head to look at the head maid, who immediately took a step back guiltily.
"I haven't had time to tell the princess about this great event."
"Happy event? Do you want to give it to you?" After Xiangying finished speaking, the senior palace maid quickly waved her hands and said she dared not.
She looked at Lu Feiyi again: "Do you want to talk to the Queen, or should I go find her myself? If she doesn't give up this idea, either she will die or you will die."
Xiangying was thin but not weak. He stood in the cold wind, his cheeks were blown pink, but his expression was full of stubbornness and he didn't give in at all.
She was the only one in the palace who dared to say such bold words.
Lu Feiyi walked down the stairs: "Xiangying, don't worry, there are some things I need to tell you alone."
Xiangying stared at him and said, "I don't want to hear that nonsense. Marriage is impossible. You are not worthy of me."
The last sentence made Lu Feiyi's expression pause, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his deep eyes.
"Well, just listen to me for now. If you think what I say is wrong, just turn around and leave, okay?"
Xiangying looked him up and down and nodded in agreement.
She turned around and followed Lu Feiyi into the palace. After the door was closed, Lu Feiyi took the initiative to sit on the low couch under the window.
Xiangying glanced at him and said, "Go ahead. I'm in a bad mood right now and I don't want to sit down and talk to you."
Lu Feiyi smiled.
"Well, if you're not tired, just stand and listen."
Lu Feiyi lowered his voice slightly: "Xiangying, since you are unwilling to surrender to Nanyue, how about joining forces with me?"
Xiangying raised an eyebrow: "How to join forces?"
Lu Feiyi supported his head with one hand, his eyes were gentle, but his tone was decisive and sharp.
"To be honest, Nanyue had just finished a war with the Western Zhou Dynasty and was in a very weak state. Now they are facing the serious issue of the treasury being stolen. The government and the people are in chaos."
"I have decided to kill him while he is ill. The Northern Qi army has already been dispatched in full force and will be at the gates of the city soon."
"You pretend to marry me, so that the Western Zhou generals who are on their way to attack can delay the attack. Once my Northern Qi army arrives, Nanyue will be yours and mine in no time."
Xiangying looked at him, folded his arms and leaned against the pillar in the hall, and suddenly smiled.
Lu Feiyi looked at her quietly: "You don't agree with my idea?"
"I think you're ridiculous, but do you think I'm stupid? Am I delaying the Western Zhou army so that I can wait for your Northern Qi people to arrive and capture them all in one fell swoop?"
Lu Feiyi said calmly: "As long as I am here, I will not let the people of Northern Qi hurt you. I will fulfill all the promises I made to you now, and you have no choice but to trust me."
Xiangying sneered in a low voice.
Suddenly, she drew a long sword from her sleeve and pointed it at Lu Feiyi's neck.
Lu Feiyi did not dodge. He saw the murderous intent in Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes.
"First of all, I don't believe in any promises. People say things too easily and they have no effect;"
"Secondly, I certainly have other options. I can kill everyone here and then leave."
Lu Feiyi knew her strength.
He chuckled helplessly: "I know you can do it. At that banquet, you injured the emperor and four old ministers were killed on the spot. I know you can do anything."
"But Xiangying, this world is not as simple as you think. You don't care about the lives of other people, but you care about the three children who follow you, right?"
Xiangying was startled and frowned, "What do you mean? Are you trying to threaten me with the child?"
Lu Feiyi shook his head and took out a box from the shelf next to him.
"Look for yourself."
After Xiangying opened it, he saw two bamboo tubes in the box.
She recognized the object, and on her way to exile, she cut a bamboo tube into a water cup and hung it around the children's necks.
At this moment, these bamboo tubes were stained with dark red blood.
Xiangying took a deep breath: "What on earth do you want to say!?"
Lu Feiyi looked at her and said, "I want to say that you have no choice but to believe me. I know that you have a close relationship with Jie Chen, but do you know that your three children were captured by his people as soon as they left the palace?"
"Xie Chen will definitely explain to you that he escorted the children away, right? In fact, the Emperor of Nanyue asked him to kill the three children."
"Because Xi Zhou cannot keep offspring, such a small bloodline needs to be wiped out. If you don't believe me, I can take you out of the palace tonight to see where Jie Chen hid your three children."
"As for your brother... he has disappeared without a trace. Xiangying, at this point, do you still think you have a way out? These people are all for their own benefit. Only I don't want the seal or your reward. I just want you to follow me."
He didn't know when he approached Xiangying.
There was a gleam of disbelief in her eyes, and she seemed to be repeatedly defending Jie Chen in her heart.
Lu Feiyi raised his hand, gently held her palm, and tried to take the sword away.
"Xiangying, believe me, after we annex South Vietnam, the whole world will belong to us."
Swish——!
With a cracking sound, the sword in Xiangying's hand cut through his hair crown neatly.
Lu Feiyi's long hair fell down, he turned slightly sideways, his eyes were cold.
Just now, Xiangying actually swung the sword directly. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the sword would have chopped off his head!
Xiangying pointed his sword straight ahead, his eyes filled with dark coldness.
"I don't want to hear your one-sided story. Take me to see where the three children are tonight, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Lu Feiyi watched her put away her sword and was silent for a moment.
He asked: "Do you want to go back to the cell now?"
Xiangying hid the sword back into his sleeve and looked at him coldly: "I live here, but you move out."
Lu Feiyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay."
He turned and walked to the door, and it seemed that he really wanted to give the entire palace to Xiangying to live in.
"Wait." Xiangying suddenly called him.
Lu Feiyi turned around and heard Xiang Ying asking, "You just said that you don't ask for anything from me, so why do you have to marry me? There are so many prisoners in the Western Zhou Dynasty, why did you choose me?"
There was no light in the hall and the light was slightly slanted. Lu Feiyi was standing with his back to the light and his eyes could not be seen clearly.
But Xiangying saw the smile on the corner of his lips.
"Maybe it's fate."
"I don't believe it."
Lu Feiyi looked at her steadily: "Don't disbelieve me, maybe we have known each other for a long, long time. In such a chaotic world, I am willing to protect you, just like I protect myself."
After saying that, he told Xiangying to have a good rest and turned to leave.
Xiangying was full of doubts at first, but it seemed that Lu Feiyi was serious.
He didn't send anyone to guard her, and if she didn't like the palace maids' service, then no palace maid would be seen in the entire palace.
Xiangying was confused and didn't know what he was trying to do.
Lu Feiyi packed up his things and moved to a side hall.
Soon, at night, he came to pick Xiangying up from the palace as promised.
