Chapter 277 Xue Bin
A guest came to the Jingmoxuan study room in the Qin Palace.
He was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, of medium build, with a delicate and handsome appearance. There was a scar on the end of his eyebrow that was as long as his hair, which somewhat ruined his elegant and gentle image.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang personally poured him a cup of hot tea, "Cousin, you have worked so hard these past two years. It is so dangerous to be a spy in the enemy's territory and collect intelligence. You need to be vigilant all the time and work so hard. It must be very stressful and tiring, right?
This time I transferred you back to Beijing because of Xian'er's matter, and I also want you to take a break for a while and relax your tired body and mind."
Xue Bin silently took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the teacup, and slowly spoke: "Thank you for your sympathy and care, my prince. Xue Bin has been accustomed to the life of licking blood under the eyes of the enemy, so it is not that hard. I just want to avenge my parents and family and make sure that the Liao Army Iron Cavalry will never set foot on the land of our Song Dynasty.
As for Xian'er's matter...how do you plan to deal with her?"
"Anyone who dares to harm my princess should be sentenced to death!" The King of Qin said in a cold voice, "However, Xian'er is our blood relative after all, and my uncle died for me. Fortunately, the princess is unharmed, so I can't bear to get rid of Xian'er."
Xue Bin breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed again, "Alas! Xian'er was so pure and unworldly when she was a child, smart and cute, sensible and kind. She was kind, but she was taught by her second aunt to be like this, which is really heartbreaking!
It was the mother's fault for not educating her. No wonder grandfather disliked the vain and domineering second aunt the most. The mother was not upright, so how could the daughter not be affected? Poor Xian'er, such a fairy-like girl, was taught by her second aunt to become..." Xue Bin was reluctant to say bad things about Xian'er.
The King of Qin smiled faintly, "Cousin, although I can't bear to get rid of Xian'er, the King of Qin's Mansion can't accommodate her.
Liu Min has taken over your affairs in Liao. From now on, you will stay in the safe Yanmen Pass and be responsible for remotely controlling the "Eagle" team lurking in Liao to collect intelligence.
You can go to the dungeon of Wenquan Villa to see Xian'er. It's best to persuade her to go to the northern border with you. My aunt is unwilling to go to the bitter and cold north. I can buy a yard for her in the capital to take care of her in her old age."
Xue Bin's heart was throbbing. Can he take Xian'er back to be with her day and night? Is Xian'er willing to go with him?
Qin Wang Zhao Defang personally refilled Xue Bin's cup of tea, and looked at his excited cousin with encouraging eyes, "Cousin, I know that you have liked Xian'er since you were young, and Xian'er also liked you the most when she was young. After I came back from studying at the age of twelve, Xian'er gradually distanced herself from you. Cousin,
your love for Xian'er is so sincere and unparalleled, but Xian'er doesn't know how to appreciate the blessing she has!
Now, maybe she will suddenly realize who in this world she likes and values the most. Cousin, your sincerity may move her. If you can become a loving couple, your uncle will also die with a smile on his face in Jiuquan."
"Cousin, thank you for your encouragement and support!" Xue Bin called his cousin with emotion. He knew that he loved Xian'er deeply, and when Xian'er fell in love with his cousin, he had tasted the pain and helplessness alone in the middle of the night for many years.
Fortunately, Defang had never liked Xian'er, and he finally waited for the opportunity to make his beloved change her mind. ...
When Mrs. Lin saw Xue Bin, she burst into tears and said with a sob: "Bin'er, you are finally back. Zhao Defang...he...he is too cruel, this heartless and ungrateful thing, Xian'er's father died for him to block the arrow, he forgot his uncle's life-saving grace, and was so heartless to us orphans and widows!"
Xue Bin hated this second aunt from the bottom of his heart, and could only comfort her with gentle words: "Second aunt, don't be too sad. Uncle died for my cousin to block the arrow, but if he didn't rush out to block the arrow, my cousin would not die, so it can't be regarded as a life-saving grace. My cousin
is now the King of Qin, so don't always talk about this matter, lest you be labeled as seeking favors for rewards."
: "What kind of bullshit are you talking about?" Mrs. Lin immediately got angry, "Your uncle clearly died for him to block the arrow, such a great favor, I can't even mention it?"
"Consider it a life-saving favor!" Xue Bin admitted helplessly, but in his heart he felt unfair for the King of Qin, "Aunt, the cousin of the King of Qin has treated you and your daughter very well over the years. He has been honored and respected over the years. You know that, right?"
: "That's what he should give us!" Madam Lin wiped her tears, "Everything has changed since he married the silly princess. The power to manage the rations in the palace was taken away from me, and he refused to give Xian'er even the title of concubine. Now, Xian'er has made a small mistake, and he has ruthlessly locked her up in the dungeon.
Bin'er, please judge, is Zhao Defang ungrateful?"
: "Aunt, murdering the Princess of Qin is just a small mistake? If grandfather were alive, he would definitely lock you up in the dungeon!" After Xue Bin finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily!
Madam Lin was so angry that she cried and cursed behind him, saying that her nephews and nieces had lost their consciences and none of them were good!
Xue Bin came to the dungeon. There was only an oil lamp in the dark and cold dungeon, emitting a dim light.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang did not let Lin Xian'er suffer much. The bedding on the small wooden bed was clean, and the tea and food were still provided according to the master's standards.
A beautiful figure sat on the wooden stool under the small bed. She was slender and had black hair like clouds. She was staring at the wall in a daze.
"Xian'er!" Xue Bin's throat was a little choked and his nose was sour.
Lin Xian'er's delicate body trembled, and she turned her head silently. Tears welled up
in her beautiful eyes when she looked at Xue Bin, "Cousin, why... why are you here?" "Xian'er!" Xue Bin walked over, squatted down, looked at the pretty face he had been thinking about day and night, and held her slender hand with tears in his eyes, "Xian'er, it was my cousin Defang who ordered me to be transferred back. Have you... have you reflected on it? Do you know that you are wrong?"
"Cousin!" Lin Xian'er pulled her hand back with all her strength, her pretty face flushed with anger, "Did you come back to blame me? Then... go away! I don't want to see you."
"Xian'er, Xian'er, don't be angry." Xue Bin quickly apologized, "It's my cousin's fault. I shouldn't blame you as soon as we met."
Only then did Lin Xian'er's anger disappear, and tears of grievance rolled down her cheeks. "Cousin, Brother Defang is too partial. He turned a blind eye to my infatuation and married that stupid princess with brain disease. He always favors that idiot and hurts my heart. Cousin, since you are here, please say a few fair words for me and take care of Brother Defang, okay?"
Xue Bin's heart sank, and he smiled sadly, "Xian'er, what fair words do you want me to say for you?"
Lin Xian'er grabbed Xue Bin's hand, "Cousin, you have done a favor to Brother Defang, he will definitely listen to you. Let him divorce the stupid princess and marry me...ah...no need to do that, I won't compete with a fool for the position of princess, just let Brother Defang marry me as a concubine."
