The hero of quick time travel always tricks me

Chapter 186 Secrets of the Shrine (38)

By the time Xiao Qi received the imperial decree, it was already the second day after Ye Shuying entered the palace.

I don't know if it was to avoid embarrassment, or because of other reasons, Ye Shuying did not return to the Princess Mansion immediately after entering the palace to obtain the imperial decree, but stayed in the palace for two more days.

Of course, Empress Wang and Emperor Wu De couldn't have any opinion on Ye Shuying's stay.

However, Empress Wang and Emperor Wu De had no objections, but Xiao Qi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

At first, when Ye Shuying was determined to enter the palace to reconcile the imperial decree, Xiao Qi was naturally angry.

But after the anger passed, Xiao Qi found out that from the bottom of his heart, he actually didn't want to really make up with Ye Shuying at all.

It's not just because they are husband and wife now, as a man, he should be responsible for her.

The most important thing is that Xiao Qi is very clear that he is not completely indifferent to Ye Shuying.

It can even be said that he likes her and cares about her.

The reason why he had been so polite to her before was, in the final analysis, just because she broke the trajectory of his life, and he couldn't change his mind for a while.

He thought that what he wanted to live was the life he had planned. He wanted to be drunk on the battlefield with pride, and to sway Fang Qiu's ambition.

He never thought of blocking his progress because of his children's affair, so that's why when he knew Ye Shuying's true identity, he would keep her cold and stay away from her.

Of course Xiao Qi was angry that Ye Shuying had lied to him and deliberately approached him.

But he is not a stingy person after all, this kind of deception that did not cause too much harm to his life, it is impossible for him to keep thinking about it and refuse to pass it.

So the most important reason why he didn't want to talk to her anymore was because of Dongli's rule that son-in-laws of Dongli country were not allowed to participate in politics, and even more because he was afraid that the longer he spent with her, the more reluctant he would be to let her go.

If the love is so deep that he can't bear to let her go, then he can only give up his ideal.

But later he was still forced to make a choice between the ideal and her, but this choice was not made willingly by himself.

Because of this, he was angry, and he desperately wanted to resist, although he knew that his resistance was actually more like a useless expression of anger...

Of course Xiao Qi also despised himself like this, so he regretted it later, he didn't want to continue to torture himself and Ye Shuying like this anymore.

But it was too late, the distance between the two of them could no longer be brought back, and he didn't know what he should do, so that he could spend the rest of his life with her.

Then the matter came to the final irreversible step, he wanted her soberly under the urging effect of the charming drug.

He thought that after this, the relationship between them could turn around.

But unfortunately, he made a mistake.

The turning point didn't come, and the relationship between them came to a dead end.

He never had a chance to have a proper talk with Ye Shuying and discuss the future of the two of them.

He also had no chance to tell her that he had always cared about her, liked her very much, and wanted to be with her forever in this life.

No chance, it's all over.

Accepting the imperial decree with a numb expression, Xiao Qi hooked the corners of his mouth in a rather self-deprecating manner.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a heartache for no reason.

It turned out that Ye Shuying was the most decisive and heartless person all along.

When she loved him, she ignored everything and flew into the flames. When she no longer wanted to continue this relationship, she didn't even give him any room to regret.

How decisive.

But why does he feel so unwilling now?
For the first time in his life, Xiao Qi didn't want to go with the flow and make peace with the situation.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Grandpa Du, can I see the princess again? I still have something to say to her."

Hearing this, Eunuch Du, who came to announce the decree on behalf of Emperor Wu De, looked embarrassed for a moment.

"Well... Young Master Xiao should ask the Emperor himself. Our family cannot be the master of His Highness the Princess."

Eunuch Du's words were actually equivalent to tactfully rejecting Xiao Qi, because normally speaking, it was impossible for Emperor Wu De to agree to let him go to see Ye Shuying.

After all, Ye Shuying's attitude has been very clear. She doesn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Qi, otherwise she won't even return to the princess mansion.

As smart as Xiao Qi, how could he fail to figure this out?

But precisely because he understood Ye Shuying's intention, he was particularly unwilling.

He was not reconciled that she really did not give him any room for redemption.

So even though he knew that Eunuch Du's words were just rumors, Xiao Qi still climbed up the pole.

"What Eunuch said is true." Xiao Qi thought for a while and said: "Then I will go to the palace with Eunuch to meet the Holy One."

Xiao Qi has said so, what else can Eunuch Du say?Of course I can only agree.

After all, although Xiao Qi is no longer the son-in-law, but as the most trusted eunuch in charge of Emperor Wu De, Eunuch Du has good eyesight, so he will not be so obvious.

What's more, Eunuch Du knew that Emperor Wu De wanted to reuse and promote Xiao Qi, so he didn't hesitate to sell him at this time.

After all, it's not a bad thing to show favor to a promising person.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Du quickly responded with a smile, "In that case, please trouble Mr. Xiao to come with our house."

After saying that, the group of people hurried to the palace again.

In Zhengde Palace, Emperor Wude was quietly waiting for Xiao Qi's arrival.

In fact, Emperor Wu De had long guessed that Xiao Qi would enter the palace after receiving the imperial edict.

As for why he would guess, this is actually very easy to understand.

Everyone is a man, so Emperor Wude can understand Xiao Qi's feelings for Ye Shuying very well, so it is impossible for Emperor Wude to believe that Xiao Qi has no feelings for Ye Shuying.

But Emperor Wu De didn't want to tell Ye Shuying this.

Because, Emperor Wu De always felt that his daughter had suffered too much on Xiao Qi, and he felt distressed, so he also wanted to abuse Xiao Qi, otherwise, how could that boy know how to cherish such a good girl like him ?
What's more, now that Beizhen is so ambitious and aggressive, Dongli really needs to send a talented person out to show Beizhen some color.

In this way, it would be an excellent way to let Xiao Qi and Ying'er separate temporarily and calm down.

Sometimes, an appropriate distance and a sense of crisis can actually help a person understand his own heart clearly and quickly.

Whether they care about it, whether they are happy or not, whether they want to live a lifetime or not, these are questions worth pondering, and they all have to think about it clearly.
