Luo Qingqing sat in front of Xiao Jiuchen with a cold expression.
Xiao Jiuchen took a chicken leg and stuffed it into her hand, chuckling and saying, "Are you still angry? Are you still blaming me for being rude to you the other day?"
Luo Qingqing gnawed on a chicken leg and said distantly, "Brother Xiao, what do you want from me?"
Xiao Jiuchen slowly drank a large bowl of wine, looked at the gurgling river, and said, "Xiao Luoqing, do you remember what you said before? If I become emperor one day, don't forget the brothers in the village. Soon, maybe I will really become emperor."
Luo Qingqing was surprised at the suddenness of the incident.
The system said that Xiao Jiuchen would become the emperor. Although she had never doubted the authenticity of this matter, she was still very surprised when it really happened.
Seeing the surprised look on Luo Qingqing's face, Xiao Jiuchen laughed and said, "You also think this is very sudden, right? But the matter is not confirmed yet.
The Lord Wei who came a few days ago is the chief minister of the imperial cabinet. He talked to me for a long time and wanted me to leave for the capital immediately to meet with Emperor Anping in secret.
If the meeting goes well, I will probably be the emperor soon."
Speaking of the royal family, Xiao Jiuchen's face showed loneliness and desolation.
Although he knew since childhood that he was the son of the late emperor, he never thought that he would have any connection with the royal family in this life.
Going to the capital to meet Emperor Anping and fight for the supreme power was really not what he wanted.
But Wei Jinghuan persuaded him.
The court is now in chaos. It is no longer the Xiao family's world. Officials headed by Chen Ruhai have completely taken control of the government.
The upright officials headed by Wei Jinghuan hoped that Xiao Jiuchen would be the one who could turn the tide and change the political situation.
Although Xiao Jiuchen was content to be a bandit, he would not refuse if he had the opportunity to save the people of the world.
One should do something great and earth-shaking in his lifetime.
Luo Qingqing could roughly guess the cause and effect of the matter after careful consideration.
The Xiao royal family is dwindling in number.
There are few successful members of the royal family among the side branches.
The current emperor has no close relatives or siblings, and he has no sons or daughters.
In contrast, Xiao Jiuchen is young, strong and healthy, and has made countless achievements on the battlefield.
Wei Jinghuan's recommendation of such a person to be emperor was the most convincing.
As for how Xiao Jiuchen's life experience can convince the world, I believe that Wei Jinghuan, a shrewd official, has made all the preparations.
Luo Qingqing and Xiao Jiuchen congratulated him, "Brother Xiao, congratulations."
She brought up the past again: "Brother Xiao, you promised me before that after you become emperor, if the Marquis of Zhennan commits a crime, please let his family go."
All she wanted day and night was to ensure the safety and well-being of the Luo family.
Now Xiao Jiuchen is going to be the emperor.
Even if she didn't become his right-hand man, he believed she would agree to her small request because she saved his life.
Although Xiao Jiuchen is moody, he is still a man who keeps his promises.
Xiao Jiuchen frowned slightly, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He stared at Luo Qingqing and asked, "Little Luo Qing, why do you make it seem like we're going to be separated forever?"
Luo Qingqing looked him in the eye calmly, "Brother Xiao, you will be the emperor in the future, the supreme being, and I am just a bandit. I am afraid we will never meet again in this life."
She picked up a jar of wine and said with a smile: "Come on, Brother Xiao, let's have a drink. I wish you can get what you want and reach the top of the treasure!"
Xiao Jiuchen didn't pick up the wine jar to clink glasses with Luo Qingqing. Instead, he sneered and said, "Little Luo Qing, do you think I'm an ungrateful person?
Not to mention you, I will not forget even a blade of grass or a tree in Jiuyou Village.
If I can get what I want, everyone in Jiuyou Village will be properly resettled.
I have handed over the management of the stronghold to the third leader, and the second leader will take care of the military camp.
And you, little Luo Qing, I want to take you to Beijing, are you willing?"
Luo Qingqing was surprised for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Xiao Jiuchen's idea is very simple and beautiful.
He thought that he had become the ruler of the world and could do whatever he wanted like he does now.
But the reality is not like this.
As soon as he becomes emperor, he will understand that there are many things that he cannot control with ease.
The palace rules were strict. If she stayed in the palace as a man, she would either become a eunuch or a guard.
To become a eunuch, one must undergo castration. Not to mention that she is a woman, even if she is really a man, she would not want to become that kind of person.
If she wanted to become a guard, she would have to go through layers of identity verification before joining the Imperial Guards. By then, her identity as a woman would undoubtedly be exposed.
No matter how she thought about it, it was impossible for her to enter the palace.
Luo Qingqing said tactfully: "Brother Xiao, I like Jiuyou Village, so I won't go to Beijing with you. I'm very happy that you still remember us brothers now that you are of an extraordinary status."
Xiao Jiuchen looked at Luo Qingqing in disbelief.
He asked hurtly, "Xiao Luoqing, are you still angry about me yelling at you that day?
I was so angry that day. I didn't want to be dirty by a woman. I wanted to be with you cleanly.
During this period of time, I have also figured it out. As long as you don't dislike me, I will still love you as before.
If you come to Beijing with me, I will let you live a peaceful life. When the time comes, I will be the emperor and no one will dare to bully you.
Do you dislike me? Or are you still mad at me?
I apologize to you. Come with me to Beijing, and I can give you whatever you want."
Luo Qingqing explained calmly: "I'm not angry, nor do I dislike you, I just look at things rationally.
Brother Xiao, you always say that you love me. Let me ask you, if you really become the emperor, do you think the court officials and the world will allow a man to stand by your side?
Also, in order to stabilize the throne, you will have to appoint a queen and take concubines in the future. How do you think a man like me has the nerve to stay by your side?
Do you understand what I mean when I say this?"
Xiao Jiuchen fell silent.
He suddenly stood up and said solemnly to Luo Qingqing, "I'm going to tell Lord Wei that I won't be going back to the capital with him tomorrow."
After saying this, he strode towards the military camp.
If the price of gaining the world is to lose Luo Qingqing, then he would rather not have the world.
Luo Qingqing rolled her eyes speechlessly. She grabbed Xiao Jiuchen and said helplessly, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? You've already discussed it with Lord Wei. It's ungentlemanly to go back on your word at the last minute."
"I'm not a gentleman. I just want to be with you." Xiao Jiuchen answered very seriously.
He looked at Luo Qingqing deeply, then pulled her hand away and strode towards the military camp where Wei Jinghuan was.
Luo Qingqing felt an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart.
This man didn't even know who she was, but he always used the name of love to bind her and force her to do things she didn't want to do.
Why does he do that?
Luo Qingqing blurted out: "I am a woman, do you still want to be with me?"
