He killed someone, she finished him off, even the crazy Marquis was shocked

I have to wait until I meet Xiaozhi to ask all the questions clearly.

The two entered the palace unhindered.

Originally, Xiahou Su and Li Siwan wanted to go to the emperor's bedroom first to see the situation.

No matter what, we still have to do enough surface work.

But as soon as they arrived at the palace gate, the nanny beside the queen came directly up to them.

"Young Marquis Su, Madam, I am here on the orders of the Empress to invite you to have a chat."

Li Siwan paused slightly, then subconsciously looked up at Xiahou Su.

It seems that the queen had already guessed that they would enter the palace.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to wait here so early.

"A Su, go check on His Majesty first, I'll be there later."

Xiahou Su frowned secretly, and then spoke again in a warning tone, "If anything happens, remember to stay calm, understand?"

"Okay, don't worry."

Li Siwan nodded deeply and gave him a reassuring smile.

Under Xiahou Su's concerned gaze, she walked towards the Queen's bedroom.

Along the way, the nanny didn't say anything, leaving Li Siwan no chance to ask anything.

"Young Madam, I will not go in."

The nanny stood at the entrance of the hall and bowed to Li Siwan.

Li Siwan nodded in response and walked into the hall.

The queen had been waiting for a long time. Standing next to her was Xiaozhi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a delicate and fair face.

Xiaozhi was born beautiful. When Li Siwan saw her working as a palace maid, he lamented that Xiaozhi had a miserable life.

But now it seems that I was too naive at the time.

Li Siwan withdrew his gaze from Xiaozhi and leaned over to salute the queen.

"May the Queen be well and safe."

"Get up, there's no one here, no need to be so restrained."

The Queen even reached out her hand to help Li Siwan get up.

"Thank you, Queen."

After Li Siwan stood firm, he waited silently for the Queen's next words.

The queen naturally knew what Li Siwan meant, and pulled Xiaozhi to Li Siwan.

"Han Zhi, you should know him too."

"Xiao Zhi's last name is Han?"

At this moment, Li Siwan reacted.

Before, she only knew Xiaozhi's name, but overlooked the most important part, her surname.

Cold citron.

Guangyuan Han, she is a member of the Han family!

It turned out to be the case.

Li Siwan nodded slightly.

"Yes, I know her, but I never thought that Xiao Zhi is actually a member of the Han clan."

"Wan'er, you are a smart person. You understand everything at once."

Then he looked at Han Zhi again.

"As a member of the Han clan, this is Zhi'er's mission and responsibility."

"But this is Xiaozhi's lifelong happiness. She and the Second Prince are not in love with each other at all!"

"So what if we have never loved each other? Is life just for love? When have I ever loved your Majesty?"

After these words came out, Li Siwan was stunned.

Yes, there are so many things to do in life.

Everyone has his or her own direction and path.

Seeing that Li Siwan didn't say anything else, the Queen continued.

"Zhi'er's life was destined since she was born. She was destined to be the Crown Princess. No matter whether the Crown Prince today is the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, or even the Fifth Prince, Zhi'er is still the Crown Princess. Even if the country's constitution is changed one day, she will still be the future Queen."

Li Siwan frowned slightly, "Your life is determined since birth."

Li Siwan finally understood where Han Zhi's gloom came from.

And her desire for freedom is because freedom and self have never belonged to her.

"Yes, this is fate."

The Queen said this and looked towards Li Siwan.

"Wan'er should have heard of our Guangyuan Han Clan."

"Yes, I have heard some of it."

"You should know."

When saying this, there was a special kind of determination in the queen's eyes.

Li Siwan was a little confused.

Why should she know?

Ignoring Li Siwan's expression, the Queen continued.

"Everyone says that the Guangyuan Han clan is the most mysterious existence in the Nanyi Kingdom, but in fact, our Han clan is just following the will of our ancestors and protecting the peace of Nanji for generations, and every saint of the Guangyuan Han clan is the queen of Nanji."

"So, Xiao Zhi is the current Saint?"

"Yes, she has been trained by her family since she was young, how to be a queen, how to assist the monarch, how to stabilize the harem, how to protect the people... Her future path has been determined. After the crown prince is chosen, she will reveal her identity as the crown prince and eventually become the queen of the Southern Wing Kingdom."

Li Siwan had actually heard all of this before, but when he heard it spoken by the Queen herself, it took on a different meaning.

It was a kind of mixed and helpless pride.

Dedicate your life to the peace of your family and country.

Great indeed.

"So, Queen, you..."

"Yes, I am also a saint girl of the previous generation trained by Guangyuan Han Clan. The duty of a saint girl is to be born with the monarch and to disperse with the monarch."

"Follow the monarch? If the emperor dies, your Majesty..."

"Don't worry, our Han family is not so cruel. Once the emperor dies and the new queen takes office, I can return to the family and be free from now on."

At this moment, Li Siwan also saw a hint of expectation and relief in the queen's eyes.

Li Siwan felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Everything the Han family does is for the greater good of their family and country.

But she felt sorry for the lives of those saints.

After that, Li Siwan acted like a younger member of the family and chatted with the Queen and Han Zhi for a long time.

Following the imperial edict, the fate of the family cannot be changed.

But when Li Siwan was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask Han Zhi.

"Xiaozhi, I know your responsibility, but have you really thought it through? That's your whole life."

Although Han Zhi's expression did not change at this time, he tried hard to maintain his calm appearance.

Li Siwan could still see it clearly.

She was suppressing her emotions.

"If it is fate, there is no escape."

"Is there no other way?"

Han Zhi shook her head helplessly, "If there were, there wouldn't be so many saints becoming queens."

"Then... have you met Su Xiaoyao?"

When Su Xiaoyao was mentioned, a strong sense of complexity flashed across Han Zhi's eyes.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

Forget it, how can outsiders influence matters of the heart?

Li Siwan didn't ask any more questions. He said goodbye to Han Zhi and went towards the emperor's bedroom.

Forget it, this is fate. After all, she has no say in the matter between Su Xiaoyao and her.

At this moment, two figures were sitting opposite each other in the imperial garden.

They are Xiahou Su and Song Jingxiao.

In front of the two of them, the hot tea was curling up, bringing with it a refreshing fragrance.

"Second Prince, oh no, I should call you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Are you going to say this to me?"

"Then I won't say anything. I'll just offer tea instead of wine and say congratulations."

"it is good."

The two men clinked their glasses with tea instead of wine, then took a big sip and smiled at each other.

"Is your Highness feeling better?"

"Much better. Thanks to your reminder, I was careful to avoid the vital points. Song Qiyu's sword only looked dangerous."

"Even so, you still need to cultivate yourself well."

"That's natural. What about you? How is your injury?"

"I'm fine."

"That's right. After all, I have a fiancée who is a skilled doctor."

Song Jingxiao put down the teacup with a smile, "Young Marquis Su, the road ahead is long, and you and I will be together all the way. There is something I must say."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"I hope that the young marquis and I will never deceive each other in the future."

With just these few words, Xiahou Su paused for a moment while holding the teacup in his hand.

When I looked up at Song Jingxiao, I saw a faint smile in his eyes.

he knows.

He also knows about the emperor's spine!

Seeing that Xiahou Su didn't say anything, Song Jingxiao smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, it just so happens that's what I wanted to do but didn't dare to do. It's just that I don't like being used secretly. Even if I'm used openly, I'm happy with it."

As he spoke, Song Jingxiao raised his teacup again, "So, neither of us is cheating on the other."

It can be said that they used each other, and in the beginning they did.

But after spending a long time together, they really regarded each other as good friends.

And the Song family is right, we will be together for a long journey.

It is indeed time to treat each other frankly.

Therefore, Xiahou Su looked at him, then chuckled and clinked glasses.

"Okay, let's not cheat each other."
