1723 Fire, I'll Betray the World for You
Feng Qingchen looked at the nearly crazy Li Xuanyue calmly, and waited until the other party's emotions were slightly balanced before saying: "Miss Li, I don't know how much you love Shaoqi, but I know that whether you love Shaoqi or not has nothing to do with Shaoqi's happiness.
Could it be that, just because you love Shaoqi, Shaoqi's happiness can only depend on you? Don't forget the maid named Youyou, she also said she loves Shaoqi, it seems that the love you two have for Shaoqi is equal."
"Who is Youyou? How can you compare a slave with me? I love Shaoqi not because of his status and position, but the person who gave birth to him." Li Xuanyue was so angry that she stomped her feet, looking insulted.
Feng Qingchen sneered and directly exposed the fact that Li Xuanyue was unwilling to face: "Your family background is indeed higher than Youyou's, but this morning, what you and Youyou did for Shaoqi didn't seem to be much different. Family background is not the only criterion for judgment."
"I was..." Li Xuanyue opened her mouth to explain, but Feng Qingchen interrupted: "Miss Li, I know you have many reasons, but if you really love Xuan Shaoqi, then you would not watch Shaoqi take risks this morning. Maybe you said you have to consider your father and Xuanyue Palace, but these are not reasons for you to let Xuan Shaoqi face danger alone. Don't you know that Shaoqi is likely to die at the hands of your father?"
Feng Qingchen was not exaggerating. Even if they had made all the necessary preparations, they could not guarantee that the three of them would be safe.
The three of them were also gambling, gambling with their lives. If they lost, there would be no recovery. Li Xuanyue knew it clearly, but she watched Shaoqi take the risk. Such love could not withstand the slightest storm.
Feng Qingchen broke the last layer of window paper and revealed everything that Li Xuanyue had tried hard to hide, just because she was unwilling to talk to Li Xuanyue anymore. Li Xuanyue's love had too many conditions, and her love for Xuan Shaoqi was not as deep as she said.
Li Xuanyue burst into tears, covered her face with her hands, slowly squatted down, and roared loudly: "Feng Qingchen, you say it easily, have you ever thought about my situation. On one side is the person I love, and on the other side is my father, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to betray my father and my family? If I really do this, and it harms my father and Xuanyue Palace, then I will never forgive myself in this life, even if I am with Shaoqi, I will not be happy."
"I didn't ask you to betray your family or your father. You can only choose between Shaoqi and Xuanyue Palace, who will you choose?" Feng Qingchen asked cruelly.
Li Xuanyue's face turned pale and she kept shaking her head: "I don't know, I don't know. Don't force me."
"I'm not forcing you. I'm just telling you that Shaoqi and Xuanyue Palace cannot coexist. Sooner or later you will have to make a choice. Instead of both of you suffering in the future, it's better to make a decision early." Xuan Shaoqi is not in love with Li Xuanyue now, but who can predict what will happen in the future? In order to prevent Xuan Shaoqi from suffering in the future, Feng Qingchen had to be cruel.
"Miss Li, you have checked my affairs, so you should know about me and the Ninth Uncle. At the beginning, I loved the Ninth Uncle so much that I could do anything, give everything I had, even my life, and betray everyone in the world for the Ninth Uncle. That was because I had no family to burden me. I just wanted to be Feng Qingchen and be myself, but you are different."
Feng Qingchen paused for a moment, and when he saw Li Xuanyue looking up with a puzzled look on his face, he said, "There has never been a problem of right and wrong between the Ninth Prince and I, and we are not enemies. But the Xuanyue Palace destined us to be in opposition. When the Xuanyue Palace sent people to ambush and kill us, we had a grudge against the Xuanyue Palace. Shaoqi can't stand on your side and join the Xuanyue Palace to deal with me. If you want to be with Shaoqi, you must let go of the Xuanyue Palace to avoid suffering for both of us in the future."
She herself is not a woman who only wants love and not career and family, so she naturally would not ask Li Xuanyue to betray the family for Xuan Shaoqi. But she also cannot let Li Xuanyue plot against Xuan Shaoqi for the sake of Xuanyue Palace in the name of loving Xuan Shaoqi.
"Qingchen is still so calm and rational." In the dark, Xuan Shaoqi looked up at the dark sky, his eyes a little sore.
When Li Xuanyue came to find Feng Qingchen, Xuan Shaoqi and the Ninth Prince came over tacitly to protect Feng Qingchen, but they did not expect to hear these words.
"The eldest lady of the Li family is infatuated with you." The Ninth Prince's face was indifferent, his eyes were deep, and he looked into the unknown distance. Xuan Shaoqi was not sure for a moment whether the Ninth Prince's words had a deeper meaning or were just casually said. He simply did not answer and changed the subject: "Qingchen will be fine, let's go for a walk."
The Ninth Prince did not refuse, and the two of them walked side by side slowly towards an empty place on the top of the mountain. That place was very deserted, and Nanling Jinfan had no way of following them.
However, Nanling Jinfan is never a person who gives up. If the secret method doesn't work, then he will try the open method. Nanling Jinfan turns around to find Princess Xiling.
After an incense stick, Princess Xiling put on new clothes and walked towards the Ninth Uncle and Xuan Shaoqi with Nanling Jinfan. She still had the fragrance of flowers on her body, but it was not as strong as during the day. The elegant fragrance of flowers made people intoxicated.
Princess Xiling's expression eased a little, feeling that she had saved her face. Nanling Jinfan almost rolled his eyes: This woman is so boring.
“Uncle Nine, Palace Master Xuan, what a coincidence.” Princess Xiling stepped forward and stood beside the two men, looking down like them. “What are you two looking at? Can you tell me too, so that I can appreciate the beauty of Tianqiong Mountain.”
The Ninth Prince did not answer her, nor did he even look at her. He turned around and left: Feng Qingchen said that we should not get involved with flowers and plants.
"Dongling Jiu..." Princess Xiling's face flushed red as she pointed at the Ninth Prince's back, her fingers trembling constantly: This man, doesn't he really take people seriously?
Xuan Shaoqi laughed, and when he saw Princess Xiling looking at him, he cleared his throat and said seriously, "I won't disturb Your Highness from watching the night. Goodbye."
After saying this, he turned around and left like the Ninth Prince, not taking Princess Xiling's anger to heart at all.
"These two people don't know what's good for them!" Princess Xiling had never been treated so coldly before, and her face twisted. However, Nanling Jinfan ignored her and took a step forward, standing where the Ninth Prince was standing, and looked down along the Ninth Prince's line of sight.
“That place…” No matter how calm Nanling Jinfan was, he was startled at this moment, and then laughed: “As expected, you are someone I can consider as my opponent. Interesting.”
"What?" Princess Xiling was attracted by Nanling Jinfan's words. She stretched her neck to look down, but saw nothing.
Nanling Jinfan had no intention of clearing up her confusion, and turned around indifferently: "Go back."
"What did you find out?" Princess Xiling was not stupid, on the contrary she was very smart. However, in front of the perverted man Nanling Jinfan, she could only act stupid to get more.
"It has nothing to do with you. Stay out of your own business. Xiling will not send troops to decide the life and death of a princess." Nanling Jinfan's words were a stern warning. Princess Xiling felt a chill on her neck and cold sweat on her back.
Huh... Princess Xiling took a deep breath, maintaining her dignity and grace. Before leaving, she glanced at the foot of the mountain again, then withdrew her gaze thoughtfully.
That location, if she remembered correctly, should be the location of Skydome Castle. So, something happened to Skydome Castle?
Princess Xiling's eyes lit up, and she looked towards the tent of Lord Lingbao in the distance, then lowered her eyes, hiding the calculations in her heart...
