Chapter 383

Liu Yuan looked sideways at a bud sticking out of the blue and white porcelain bottle without blinking. Xu Hanfei put on his coat and looked at her for a while, reaching out and patted her on the shoulder. "What are you thinking? You're so distracted. You're not thinking about the Xiyu who came to see you."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm thinking about Xiyu. He left the palace with the king." Liu Yuan's eyes darkened. "It can be seen that it's because he always went to Huade palace to see the queen, which angered the emperor. Otherwise, he is a relative of the emperor, and the emperor won't let her leave."

Xu Hanfei raised his lips and said, "that Xiyu seems to be very interested in you. Don't you have any ideas about him yourself?"

"I don't have any idea. I used to like Xiang Wang," said Liu Yuan, with a crimson cheek. Said unnaturally. "I'm a newcomer and don't know much about the world. Xiang Wang is the first man I know. I didn't expect that he has such a big deviation from what I thought. I'm really naive."

"What's the matter? No matter who you are, you will fall in love with strange people." Xu Hanfei smiled faintly. "But I'm really surprised that you actually fall in love with the prime minister. Moreover, you have such a good relationship with the queen. I think the prime minister likes the queen so much. I thought you would fall out for it."

"How could it be that the queen and I are not such stingy people. How could we fall out over an illusory thing? Besides, the king likes the queen but not the queen. The queen loves the emperor, and why should I fight with the queen because of what I can't get?" Liu Yuan smiled gently, "You say that things in this world are so magical that those who appear don't like them and those who like them don't appear."

Xu Hanfei's eyes became more and more profound. "Do you still feel this way about the prime minister, and do you still like him?"

"Of course not. After such a long time, how can I still have such feelings for him, but I still hope he is good," Liu Yuan sighed faintly. "He doesn't help the emperor in government affairs. I'm afraid this ancient and modern demolition of rivers and bridges will be staged on him for a while."

"That's unlikely, but his chance of returning to the palace is relatively small," Xu Hanfei thought with a low eyebrow for a while. "The emperor should not let him come back again. After all, he is unfaithful to the queen in his heart, and the emperor really cares about his mind."

"The emperor is also interesting," said Xu Hanfei with a sarcastic smile. "With the affection of the prime minister, let him take good care of the queen in the palace so that he can have time to win the throne. Now that the throne is in hand, he has become the emperor, so the prime minister will become an unnecessary existence."

"What you can understand, how can he not understand?" Liu Yuan frowned and smiled. "It's just self deception for the love in his heart."

"But you didn't deceive yourself. I've seen too many people lose themselves because of love, but you're not lost, but quite sober," Xu Hanfei half narrowed his eyes. "No wonder Xiyu is interested in you. He looks at me with hostility."

"You think too much," said Liu Yuan. "I don't have any feelings for Xi Yu. I don't like him, so his feelings for me will bother me very much. I can only hide from him."

"Empress," Feihong looked at her, "the emperor is coming. He is outside the window."

Xue ronghua put down the scroll in his hand, frowned and said, "is he outside the window? Why doesn't he come in? It's strange for the king of a country to stand outside. Others thought there was a gap between us."

Feihong felt his head shyly. "The emperor is reading about your illness, so he doesn't dare to come near. He'd better stand outside the window. Even if he comes to talk to you, there's nothing else to do."

Xue ronghua's throat made a vague voice, "I see. Just let him by the window. Since he said so, I can't let him in."

Chu Zongge stared at the lattice on the window for a while. Suddenly he heard a beating sound coming from inside. He raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "is it you?"

"Who else will answer you besides me? You don't think there are others here," Xue ronghua's voice said with a coquettish smell. "Why don't you come in? I don't feel like I've seen you for a long time. I thought you came to have dinner with me today."

"How's your body?" Chu Zongge put his head against the window pane, hoping to hear her voice more clearly. "I haven't come to see you for a long time. I remember coming two days ago. After that, I stayed in the study. The recent government affairs are too busy, and I can't afford to be busy."

Xue ronghua's eyes slowly darkened. "I know you're tired, but you still have to pay attention to your health. You should also send some tasks to Liu Bingliang. As your prime minister, he should share some important tasks with you."

"Although Liu Bingliang is the prime minister I elected, I think he still has doubts about me in his heart, but I don't think others are competent," Chu Zongge said with a bitter smile. "Liu Bingliang is really a powerful role. The emperor trusts the prime minister, but the prime minister doubts the Emperor's affairs. It's really worrying."

"Since he doesn't believe you, don't give him too many things. The most important thing is the unity of monarchs and ministers. As prime minister, Liu Bingliang can't do this at all. It's really doubtful," Xue ronghua thought with a low eyebrow for a moment, "I know what he means is to see you ascend the throne as the only adult Prince and bring down the king and Prince of Jin without mercy in your early years, so I have some doubts in my heart."

Chu Zongge's eyes flashed a little strange, rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "I know what you think, but now it's an extraordinary period. The envoys of Xirong will come to Kyoto soon. I can't have any accidents in the imperial court. Everything has to wait until the foreign invasion is removed. I must teach Liu Bingliang well."

"It's best if you can think like this," Xue ronghua lowered his eyelids. "I don't vomit blood anymore, and I feel much ruddy. Just focus on what's at hand. Don't worry about my condition. Resident Liu Yuan will take good care of me."

Chu Zongge looked deeply at the figure behind the window paper and sighed softly, "I'm really worried about your body. Sometimes I think of your body when talking to others. How can there be so many fetters between us? It's always one after another. It's not easy to ascend the throne and make you my queen, but there's the problem of soul taking."

Xue ronghua pursed his lips and said, "everything is wasted. If we can get a new life through soul taking, we are doomed to suffer more suffering in this life. God can't let a person go smoothly all his life, especially those who have stood above 10000 people."

Chu Zongge's fingers slowly touched the window, lowered his voice and said, "if you had another choice, would you choose to help me in the imperial palace or would you like to forget the Jianghu with me?"

Xue ronghua's pupils tightened and looked nervously at the figure outside. "How can you say such words? Are you tired of life in the palace? This is just the beginning. You always wanted to live such a life before."

"I know, but what I want most is not to be able to master power and glory, but to protect you," Chu Zongge said with a curved lip, "I go hand in hand with you today. With you by my side, I seem to have no problem doing anything, but I feel disappointed when I see you sick."

Xue ronghua panicked and hurried close to the window. "Don't think so. My body will get better slowly. I won't leave you. I will always be with you. Don't be afraid."

Chu Zongge's eyebrows and eyes flashed a trace of worry, and his lips still maintained a warm smile, "I just have you in my heart, but you must stick to it. I heard some from the Liuyuan resident. She said that if you stay away from me in the future, you still have the hope of recovery. I'll wait until the day you're good."

Xue ronghua's eyes were red and wet. She didn't expect that resident Liu Yuan chose to hide her real condition in front of him. "I'll get better slowly. Don't worry. If you have to worry about my condition and be busy with government affairs, you'll really tired yourself. I don't want to distract you, and I don't want to make you sad."

"I just can't control myself," Chu Zongge gently moved the corners of his mouth. "I know what you mean, but I'm afraid that you will leave one day, and I'm even more afraid that I will lose you. I really can't imagine a day without you. What's the meaning of sitting on the throne without you."

Xue ronghua sucked his nose. "Just rest assured. I will accompany you to the end. I will take good care of my body. Wait for me to come back to you, so you don't have to talk to me like this outside the window."

Chu Zongge looked at the figure on the window paper and smiled, "in fact, this is also good. In the end, there is a hazy feeling. I look at your side face here. It seems that you have lost a lot of weight. Don't you have a good meal?"

"What hazy beauty, I don't want to talk to you through a layer of window paper," Xue ronghua said. "Of course I have a good meal, and if I don't eat, my body will be better slowly."

Chu Zongge said softly with a smile, "if there's anything I'll tell Feihong, just have a good rest in the palace. There's nothing to do and you don't have to go outside the palace. The temperature has dropped recently and it's going to winter soon. I'm afraid your bones will catch a cold."

"It's late autumn. It's still a long way from winter," Xue ronghua frowned and heard a hint of parting from his words. "What's the matter with you? What happened? Won't you come to see me in the future?"

"Maybe I can't come to see you for a while. Don't worry. This is because the envoys of Xirong have come. I have to deal with them. It's related to the national luck," Chu Zongge touched the window as if comforting her. "You don't have to worry. I'll come to see you when the envoys of Xirong go back. You have a good rest for a while."
