Chapter 479 Li Chengxiu Wants to Die
This is a bit shameless. Is that what you call begging abroad? Isn't it just robbing abroad?
Xu Hui is a clever pretty boy. He only complains about others in his heart and would never say it to the emperor's face to hurt his reputation.
"Cousin, if my wife wants to beat me when we get back, you have to be there to take the blame for me!"
"Uh-huh?!"
"Why are you making such a frightened dog expression? Aren't we good brothers who eat from the same trough anymore?
When you wanted to ask my cousin for help, wasn't it all thanks to me who introduced you to her?
Now I want you to help me fight back, what's wrong with that? You don't want to?"
Three questions in a row revealed his pettiness.
This made Xu Hui, who was following next to him, want to fuck and spit out a green feeling from his mouth loudly.
"Marshal, this isn't a matter of my willingness or unwillingness. The main thing is that you're doing well and have accomplished such great things. How could you feel about being beaten? Aren't you being a little overly worried?"
"No, you don't understand."
Li Chengxiu looked at the capital city getting closer and closer with a vicissitudes of life on his face, raised his head to look at the sky and spoke earnestly.
"Sometimes getting beaten is just a gut feeling. It has little to do with whether I've done anything meritorious, but has a lot to do with my wife's mood."
With his wit, he immediately heard the hidden meaning in the words. He moved his lips several times before forcing himself to ask with difficulty.
"But what did you do that you shouldn't have done?"
"…cough."
Li Chengxiu lowered his head and coughed.
"What's the point of saying what should or shouldn't be done?
After all, although I am the emperor, I am just an ordinary man, and I definitely have all the seven emotions and six desires that everyone in the world has.
If I accidentally make some mistakes that all men make, it’s not really a mistake, right?”
This time Xu Hui was really scared!
When did this happen? I was watching it right under my nose, how could such a disaster as the emperor falling in love with someone else happen?!
His whole body was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. He just asked respectfully in a low voice.
"I wonder, Your Majesty, when did you find this... favorite?"
"Just last month, weren't we still in Linyue Kyoto? You and my cousin went out to play, and then I was wandering around and came across this lovely little thing.
You don't know how sweet that little girl is. She's pretty and smart. Oh, she's so cute that I can't get enough of her.
I hid it and played with it secretly during this period, but I really couldn't bear to let it go, so I made up my mind to bring it back.
But,"
He looked towards the capital city with a distressed look.
"I'm worried that my wife will be angry if she sees it. After all, I spent a lot of money to get that cute little thing. Alas."
Xu Hui listened to the dog emperor chattering about how lovable his new love was, and he lowered his head to hide the cold light in his eyes.
"You are the Emperor, the supreme ruler. The Empress has always been virtuous and kind. She will definitely not embarrass the Emperor. You don't need to worry so much."
"Do you really think so? I'm a little panicked..."
Bah, why are you panicking and doing such a thing?!
I can’t imagine how heartbroken and sad my cousin will be when she finds out about this.
"I don't have any good ideas for this. Your Majesty, please make the decision yourself."
He thought he had to pass the news back to his cousin as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard.
After all, my cousin is the queen and has the eldest prince by her side, as well as her family to rely on. She will definitely not be defeated by a woman from Linyue.
Don't say Dayu has the marriage law as a guarantee. Rules are set by rule-makers for rule-abiding people. Once the rule-makers are unwilling to abide by the rules, then the rules will be meaningless.
A carrier pigeon quietly flew from the army to the capital, carrying such important news to the Empress.
Jiang Wan couldn't believe his eyes.
He held the note close to his eyes and read it over and over again, a dozen times, until he was certain every single word was written by his cunning and treacherous cousin. Then a huge heartache slowly spread from his chest, piercing his soul.
It turns out that Li Chengxiu, who loves Jiang Wan so deeply, would also change his heart?
She felt so cold.
It was just an ordinary night, but it was colder than when it was snowing heavily.
"Mother, don't cry."
Li Rui was not yet three years old, but ever since his father went to war, he had been with his mother every day.
Attend court, review memorials, and handle state affairs.
In the little child's heart, his mother was almost omnipotent and indestructible.
But now, she was crying.
He climbed onto the dragon throne and stood up, stretching out his chubby little hands to wipe her tears, but it seemed as if he could never wipe them all away, and the child, who had never been a crybaby since she was a child, frowned anxiously.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Azhu."
Jiang Wan looked at his exceptionally intelligent son and tried hard to put on a smile.
"Your father is coming back."
"I know. Grand Tutor Qin told me about this a few days ago. So why are you crying?"
"I have no idea."
She reached out and held her child in her arms. This soft and warm little ball finally made her feel less cold, and her eyes regained their former clarity and wisdom.
"It's only about three days' journey left before your father returns triumphantly to the capital. So your mother will probably be quite busy these days. Please listen to Aunt Hongzhu and don't act naughty, okay?"
"Mother, when has this son ever been naughty?"
"Yes, my Ah Zhuo is the most sensible and polite person. It's my fault that I didn't remember it well. I'm sorry."
“You don’t need to apologize to me.
My great uncle was reading to me yesterday, and he said there was a line in the book: "There are no parents who are not good in the world." I didn't understand it, so my great uncle explained it to me.
I think what the book says is right, especially since your mother is so wise and capable. Whatever you say is right. If it is wrong, then I will firmly believe it."
"Which point?"
"Everything you say is right!"
“Puff~”
Jiang Wan was indeed amused. He gently rubbed the little baby's head with his forehead, his eyes full of love.
"You're so young, and you've already learned to be smooth-talking?"
“No need to learn, it’s innate.
When my father writes to me, he always tells me to protect my mother. I don't think I can protect her for now, but I can make you happy.
Mother, are you happy now?"
"Mother is happy. As long as my little Azhu is by my side, Mother will be happy every day."
"Azhu is also very happy to be able to accompany the Queen Mother."
The little dumpling has a cold face, but he always says some pleasing things. How can one not fall in love with him?
Jiang Wan decided that even for Azhu's sake, she would give Li Chengxiu a chance to explain.
His eyes fell on the letter, slightly cold.
