The hero of quick time travel always tricks me

Chapter 187 Secrets of the Shrine (39)

When Xiao Qi entered Zhengde Palace, Emperor Wude was sitting in front of the desk and reading the memorial.

Seeing Xiao Qi, Emperor Wu De didn't put down the memorial in his hand immediately, but deliberately put him aside.

Xiao Qi couldn't guess what Emperor Wu De meant by this move, but he didn't ask any more questions, just stood aside obediently, silently waiting for Emperor Wu De's next move.

Seeing Xiao Qi standing without saying a word, with no panic or anxiety on his face, Emperor Wu De couldn't help but secretly nodded.

It seems that this kid has a good heart and is worthy of great responsibility.

In this way, Emperor Wu De did not intend to continue to embarrass Xiao Qi any longer.

After reviewing the last memorial in his hand, Emperor Wu De casually put it on the table, raised his eyelids and cast a glance at Xiao Qi, who was still standing upright, and said in a light tone: "Here you come? Sit down."

Emperor Wude granted him a seat, of course Xiao Qi had no reason to refuse.

So the two monarchs and ministers sat down facing each other in the side hall of Zhengde Palace, ready to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Have you seen the imperial decree?" Emperor Wu De said casually.

"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded, and then said: "I came here just for the imperial decree."

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Emperor Wu De raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked knowingly: "Oh? Do you have any objections to the imperial decree?"

"I dare not have any objections." Xiao Qi said, "It's just—"

"Just what?"

"It's just that I hope that the Holy Majesty can take back his order." Xiao Qi said, and knelt down in front of Emperor Wu De resolutely.

Emperor Wu De didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so direct, so he couldn't help being silent for a while.

He stared heavily at Xiao Qi bowing his head and cupping his hands, and it took him a long time to utter two words coldly.

"reason?"

"I don't want to be divorced with the princess. I just want to be husband and wife with the princess for the rest of my life."

Xiao Qi's tone was very firm and his attitude was very sincere. Emperor Wu De didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, there are probably not many people in this world who like to do things like beating mandarin ducks with sticks.

Now that Xiao Qi has confessed his heart to him, it stands to reason that Emperor Wu De should not be able to refuse his request.

But—this kid made Ying'er so sad, as a father, how could he let this kid get what he wanted so easily?
Wouldn't that be too cheap for him?
Thinking of this, Emperor Wu De didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed, he just took a cup of tea in front of him and took a sip.

In the silence, the sound made by the lid of the cup hitting the body of the cup was particularly crisp, and Xiao Qi felt a little more pressure for no reason.

But he also knew that at this time he absolutely couldn't back down, because once he backed down, he and Ah Ying would be completely finished.

Because of this, Xiao Qi forcibly withstood all the pressure, and never wavered or flinched in a daze.

His back was straight, and although he maintained a kneeling posture, he obviously never bowed his knees because of his status as Emperor Wu De.

Even, the more stagnant the atmosphere is now, the more oppressive Emperor Wu De gave him, the more he showed a bit of indomitable momentum.

Emperor Wu De looked at Xiao Qi quietly for a while, and found that the power he deliberately radiated didn't seem to scare Xiao Qi at all, so he couldn't help curling his lips in embarrassment.

But in the end, I am a little more satisfied with Xiao Qi.

So Emperor Wu De no longer deliberately continued to scare people, he put down the teacup casually, and said: "Okay, you get up first."

Emperor Wu De called out, Xiao Qi naturally couldn't continue to kneel down, although he really wanted to kneel and beg Wu De Emperor to agree to his request first.

But after thinking about it, Emperor Wu De is not his own father after all, so he may not be able to accept him as a rascal, so Xiao Qi can only give up.

Forget it, let's take it slow.

Xiao Qi thought about this, and was about to say something more, when he heard Emperor Wu De say: "But I dare not agree to your request."

"The matter of Heli was brought up by the princess herself. She said that she was unhappy with you. As a father, I can't wrong my daughter, don't you think so?"

Xiao Qi couldn't accept these words.

What can he say?Your Majesty, you are right. Of course, my daughter cannot let her be wronged.

But in this way, wouldn't it be even more useless for him to save A Ying?
If he wants to say that what Emperor Wu De said is wrong, he can't justify it.

After all, in the three months since they got married, he had really treated Ah Ying badly. She felt that it was normal for her to be unhappy with him.

At this moment, Xiao Qi really regretted it in his heart.

If he had known that Ah Ying held such a heavy weight in his heart, he should have treated her better from the beginning, and even better, instead of waiting until he was about to lose her now, and then tried every means to get her back.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Qi's tone was a bit difficult when he spoke again.

"I know that I am not a competent husband, so the princess should have opinions on me."

"But even so, I really don't want to lose the princess."

"The mistakes I made in the past, I don't want to quibble, and I can't quibble."

"But Chen believes that the most important thing for a person is the past, not the future."

"I can assure you that I will treat the princess well in the future and do my best to give her happiness and make her happy."

"If you break this oath, I will let you die alone and depressed in this life!" Xiao Qi paused every word, with a particularly serious expression.

Seeing that Xiao Qi was serious enough to swear, Emperor Wu De couldn't help sighing.

Of course he believed that what Xiao Qi said at this time was the truth, and he also believed that he would do what he said.

But what is the use of his belief?His family Ying'er is obviously heartbroken now.

Only those who have tried it will know how difficult it is to warm up a cold heart again.

But since Xiao Qi was able to say such a thing, it is impossible for Emperor Wu De to pretend that he did not hear it.

So he couldn't help but sighed, and said in a calm tone: "The question now is not whether I believe you or not, but that Ying'er is no longer willing to give you any more chances."

"So, there's really nothing I can do."

Hearing Emperor Wu De's words, the light in Xiao Qi's eyes dimmed uncontrollably.

In the end, his eyes that were usually as deep as a deep pool had already become dull, as if he had lost all vitality in an instant.

It's sad to watch.

But what can be done?He didn't make it himself.

This is probably called, self-inflicted, not to live.

Emperor Wu De thought about this, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something important to say that he forgot to say, so he cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Although Ying'er is a little disappointed in you now, this matter is not beyond the point of no return. "

"Speaking of which, I have a way to help you."

Hearing this, Xiao Qi's eyes immediately burst into a dazzling light, and he couldn't wait to say: "What method?"
