Chapter 54
"How can we talk here? Please leave." Xie Sui made a "please" gesture with a gentle look.
Wu Lei did not thank him and went straight inside. This meant that he did not want to give Xie Sui face. The eunuchs and guards beside him were sweating profusely, but Xie Sui kept a faint smile on his face.
After the little palace maid poured tea for the two of them, she retreated and closed the door.
Wu Lei did not touch the cup of tea.
"Since I'm here, I'll speak frankly. As the king of a country, you canonized my sister as the queen, but you keep her trapped in Kunning Palace every day. What's the reason?"
Xie Sui's smile faded. "Prince, are you meddling too much? After all, this is my Daning's business. I can guarantee that Ah Chun will have no worries about food and clothing in Daning, and her status will be above everyone else. She will have all the honors of any queen in the previous dynasty, but since she is the queen of Daning, she can't think about running away all day long."
"Since the prince has chased me to the imperial capital, I'm sure you know that Ah Chun, as the queen of a country, has disregarded the friendship between the two countries, deceived me, disobeyed me, and insisted on escaping back to Southern Xinjiang, I spent a lot of effort to bring her back, how can I let her move freely in the palace and escape from me again?"
He said calmly, but with a bit of stubbornness.
Wu Lei's face darkened, "But have you ever thought about why she wants to escape? It's because she is not happy with you, she hates you, so she wants to leave you."
Xie Sui was hurt by some of the words, and a few blue veins bulged on the back of his hand hanging at his side. After a moment of silence, he slowly smiled at Wu Lei, "Even if she hates me, it's only temporary. She stays by my side for the rest of her life, and I treat her well. How can she always hate me?" "
Since you are stubborn, then I have nothing to say. This time, I must take my sister out of this prison, even if it means sacrificing my life!" Wu Lei's words were sonorous.
Xie Sui clenched his fists
. An eunuch outside shouted, "Your Majesty, someone from Kunning Palace came to tell you that the Empress wants to meet the Prince of Southern Xinjiang to reminisce. We kindly ask you to release her for a few days." Wu Lei glanced outside the door and then stared at Xie Sui.
The Qianqing Palace seemed to have become a battlefield, with invisible smoke everywhere.
"I know." Xie Sui said slowly, "I will take the Prince of Southern Xinjiang to Kunning Palace."
The implication was that it was impossible to release Wu Chun.
Although Wu Lei was very dissatisfied, it was more important to see his sister now, so he went to Kunning Palace with a cold face. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team
The pepper wall has a faint sign of spring budding, and the branches still hang down from the flower window like a waterfall. Inside the fiery red courtyard wall, a group of servants kneel down and salute, "Your Majesty."
Wu Lei walked out from behind Xie Sui and strode towards the hall where Wu Chun was. His eyes were firm and arrogant. There was only Wu Chun in his eyes. When he reached the door, his steps quickened because of his excitement.
"Brother!"
The person inside exclaimed happily, and after trotting out, he hugged Wu Lei.
Wu Lei didn't say much, and he was very excited, so he said less. He hugged Wu Chun with solid strength for a moment, let her go, and looked at her.
She seemed to have grown up, already had the charm of a mature woman, and was much thinner. She had two long and thin chains on her wrists. When she came to the door, the chains were almost straight.
Xie Sui just walked over, "Why don't you go in and talk? It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
Wu Chun didn't look at him well, and took Wu Lei's hand and went into the hall, intending to lock Xie Sui out.
Xie Sui grabbed the edge of the door, but his eyes fell on the hands held by her and Ulei. "Are the folk customs in southern Xinjiang so open?"
"My brother and I have been here this way since we were young. Our southern Xinjiang talents are not like you here, with red tape and boring." Wuchun glanced at him indifferently, "My brother and I are reminiscing about old times, what are you doing here?"
Ulay sat down
.
"Xie Sui doesn't intend to let me go, but I don't want to do what he wants. I must go back to Southern Xinjiang. He can't hold me back."
Wu Lei said, "I came here to take you back. As long as you don't go back to Southern Xinjiang, I won't leave. I've already thought about it. If I want to escape, it will certainly not be easy, but you are a princess married to a foreign country after all. If you get into trouble in Daning, not only will Xie Sui's reputation be damaged, but Southern Xinjiang will not let it go."
"Me?" Wu Chun thought for a moment, "But I'm locked up here every day. The only one who can make me get into trouble is myself, which means..."
Her voice sank, and she and Wu Lei looked at each other. The two of them understood each other's intentions and said no more.
Wu Chun asked about Wu Lei's recent situation, and Wu Lei just said that he was doing well in Southern Xinjiang.
"Brother, be careful. If dad wants to give you a princess, it's probably the stepmother's advice."
At this time in the previous life, Yue Clan arranged a marriage for Wu Lei, but Wu Lei died on the wedding night. In this life, Wu Chun wanted to return to Southern Xinjiang, in fact, part of the reason was this.
Wu Lei said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of getting married before your problem is resolved."
The two said a few more words, and Wu Lei walked out. Not long after, Xie Sui came in. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team.
He held a food box in his hand, took out a few plates of snacks from it, and placed them in front of Wu Chun. They were all Wu Chun's favorites.
"Jinglian said you only had a little porridge this morning, and I think you must be hungry now." Xie Sui pinched her sleeve, picked up a piece of cake and held it to Wu Chun's lips.
Wu Chun felt that there was no need to be hard on the food, so she opened her mouth and took a small bite. She ate slowly and carefully, and when she got close to Xie Sui's fingers, she was very careful, but her soft lips still rubbed his fingertips.
Wu Chun shrank back instantly.
Xie Sui still had a small half of the lotus cake in his hand, and he ate the remaining half of it, and picked up another piece to feed her.
"I don't want to eat anymore." Wu Chun turned her head.
Xie Sui moved the food aside.
Even if she didn't want to, she had to admit that something was changing between her and Xie Sui.
Xie Sui was always thorough and meticulous, and he was even more attentive to her.
Sometimes she was surprised that Xie Sui could be so attentive and gentle under his cold appearance.
But she would not fall into it again.
Xie Sui went to pour her some tea.
An emperor who was high above her was doing things for her that only servants would do, and he was happy to do it.
Wu Chun finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Xie Sui! You don't have to please me like this, it seems like I owe you something. You should stay in the Qianqing Palace every day, as cold as in the last life. Don't come to me, I don't want to owe you anything, don't be nice to me. You betrayed me in the last life, it's useless to please me in this life, I won't fall for your tricks."
She hated Xie Sui's kindness to her. It was something she had been longing for in the last life, but in this life she avoided him like a flood or a beast.
Xie Sui put down the teacup, walked in front of her and squatted down. Because he was born tall, even if he squatted down, he was not much taller than her who was sitting. He held her face in his hands.
"Why is it useless? If it is useless, why are you so excited now?" he asked quietly.
Wu Chun brushed his hand away, and he looked down and found that she was barefoot in her shoes, with protruding ankle bones, lonely and beautiful.
"I don't want to see you, I hate you. Why don't you marry a few noble ladies? Isn't this the easiest way to win people's hearts? You just made me the queen, didn't the civil and military officials send you a memorial asking you to recruit concubines? Eh..."
Wu Chun exclaimed.
While she was talking, Xie Sui had already gone to get the stockings, held Wu Chun's ankles, took off her shoes, and put on the stockings.
He did this in his previous life, but now is different.
Wu Chun felt a rough warmth on his ankle.
He bowed his head and said, "Two kinds of people will worry about my harem. One kind is old loyal ministers. They are inevitably stubborn and pedantic, but they are not bad at heart. Even if I ignore them, they will still be loyal to me. At that time, I just need to give them more rewards to let them know that the emperor is not someone who does not understand the sincere hearts of his subjects. The other kind is people who want to cling to the royal family and try to please me. Such people do not focus on serving the country and the people, so there is no need to pay attention to them. The others are just accomplices and will not achieve anything great."
After putting on his stockings, he raised his head again, "Don't worry, you are the only one in the six palaces. I would rather leave these palaces empty than take concubines."
"Then do you really want to lock me up for life?"
He said calmly, "Why not?" This book is exclusively
compiled The madness in his bones has never disappeared. Even if he shed that layer of ice in front of her, he is still the madman who lost everything when he was five or six years old and traveled thousands of miles alone to conspire with his father's former connections to seize power. He
is like this in everything he does. He must get it before he stops. He executes the tasks in his hands with an almost cold and cruel attitude, and never makes mistakes. It doesn't matter even if it means sacrificing himself and letting himself bleed and suffer.
Including her.
Wu Chun no longer had the patience to argue with him about this. She was thinking about how to get out of this situation and asked, "What happened to Shen Ying and Xiao Huaiwen?"
Xie Sui did not answer but said, "Did you intend to win over Xiao Huaiwen and use the connections of the imperial guards to get out of the palace?"
He was always sharp, and Wu Chun did not deny it. "So what?"
Xie Sui did not want to continue asking, "Xiao Huaiwen caught you before, but because Shen Ying released you, he has to atone for these sins in three years. After three years, I can arrange a marriage for him."
Another three years. She was also thinking of using the excuse of their marriage to visit Shen Ying and then do things more conveniently.
This approach was not feasible, Wu Chun asked again: "My birthday is coming soon, remember? I am a queen, I must have a birthday party, you can't lock me up at that time."
"I have thought about this a long time ago, you can ask the musicians and dancers to come to the courtyard for your birthday party, as for those ministers, it is enough for them to send gifts, you don't have to attend in person, and there is no need to leave Kunning Palace." Xie Sui took it as a matter of course.
He raised his eyes again, "If you want to find a chance to escape, you'd better give up this idea."
