Yu Linglong looked at him deeply, her eyes full of regret, but she said nothing .

She can only vaguely imagine, but she was not sure, or she was unwilling to think about how he spent those difficult years in Mongolia when he was young .

He lost his mother at a young age and was sent to an enemy country to be a hostage at the age of seven . Who would believe that he could survive? Who knew how much hards.h.i.+p and suffering he had experienced?

Pulling the cloak on her shoulders upward, Lord Xu’s thin lips showed a cold smile, and his voice was deep and far away as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him .

“…When I arrived in Mongolia, I was only seven years old and didn’t understand many things . Before I set off from East Chu, my father told me that I was the prince of East Chu, so I had to maintain East Chu’s reputation . I wanted to protect the people of East Chu, I wanted to protect the land of East Chu, so I had to take this responsibility . At that time, I was ignorant and only remembered these great principles in my heart, but never thought of other reasons . ”

The dry wood in the fire was crackling, and the light of the jumping fire reflected on the inner wall of the cave . Not only was it dim, but it also looked very dark and gloomy .

“I took eighteen attendants and set off from East Chu to Mongolia . I still remember the day when I arrived at the palace of Mongolia . The emperor of Mongolia pointed at me and laughed triumphantly at his prince . They said: Look, this is the son of trash . ”

Yu Linglong’s hand clenched involuntarily . This happened long ago, but the moment Lord Xu spoke, his tone was still full of repressed grief and anger .

For Lord Xu, who was only seven years old at the time, the consequences of this sentence were obvious .

Lord Xu paused and continued: “…I yelled at them, but they just looked at me with a contemptuous smile . The smile was like they were watching a monkey playing tricks, and in the end, they were tired of watching it . He beat me up and locked me in a secluded palace room . ”

“…My attendant wanted to rescue me, but was discovered, and was ordered to be executed by the emperor . Only the two youngest were left to serve me . w.a.n.g Jing was very smart and stole food from the imperial dining room for me to eat . Zong Chuan had a calm personality but very good skills . He kept teaching me martial arts . After more than two months, the emperor sent someone to go to the Mongolian Kingdom . The emissary asked to see me, and the emperor ordered someone to dress me up, put on new clothes, and bring me out to see the East Chu envoy . ”

Thinking of the dusty past, Lord Xu smiled coldly, looking at the fire with his inky eyes, and spoke softly: “I said to the messenger, I am very good, the emperor is very good to me, and the princes of Mongolia are also very good to me . I told him to go back and report to Father so he wouldn’t worry about me . ”

“Perhaps he didn’t expect that I would be so obedient . The emperor changed his att.i.tude towards me . After the envoy of East Chu left, he gave me a mansion and allowed me to enter the palace to study with the princes and grandchildren, and later he allowed me to learn riding and shooting . Of course, most of the time, I was the target of those princes…”

His voice was getting lower and lower, and recalling these humiliating past events obviously made him very uncomfortable .

“At the age of twelve, riots broke out in the frontiers of Mongolia . The emperor ordered the three princes to lead the army and ordered me to accompany him . The reason was that the East Chu hostage would appreciate the majesty of the Mongolia Kingdom . This was three years . ”

“Mongolia Kingdom is located in the north . In winter, the air was cold, and the desert was barren . When the army traveled, there was no food and gra.s.s for a long time, so it was good to be able to eat snakes, rats, and lizards . Once we were alone and got lost in the desert, and we ate up the sod and roots . I have even seen soldiers eat the corpses of dead people just to survive . ”

Yu Linglong’s heart was convulsed . She couldn’t think of the fact that Lord Xu, who wore white clothes who lived a life of debauchery, had such a past .

When the crown prince of East Chu was learning of the Tao, Confucius, and Mencius in the magnificent palace, he walked through the desert full of corpses, desperate to survive, so he knew better than anyone else and was good at disguising, just to survive .

It was also because he had suffered too much in Mongolia, so when he returned to the capital, he pretended to be fascinated by the glory and wealth .

“…When I was sixteen years old, the emperor of Mongolia sent me back and hinted that the Father wanted to make me the heir . Father found an excuse to refuse, but despite this, the empress and the prince still doubled down on me . Not only did they monitor my every word and action, but they also monitored Father, for fear that Father will give me the position of heir . When Father noticed their changes, he gave me the command of the secret guards and instructed me to act secretly to monitor whether the prince had any such intentions . ”

Yu Linglong was stunned . She couldn’t help thinking of the appearance of the emperor’s warm face in the daytime . He seemed to rely heavily on the prince, and all the princes and grandchildren were also kind as if this spring hunt was really just the emperor bringing everyone out to relax .

But she didn’t expect that there are so many secret things and those princes who seemed to be honored and rich had such thoughts .

This was the benevolent prince, this was the gentle and n.o.ble emperor, and this was the father and brother of Lord Xu .

They were suspicious of each other, guarding against each other, full of hostility to each other, and even ready to kill the father and son and brothers . This was the royal family’s affection . For power, for the throne, they can do whatever they want . Even if the family affection is cut off, they would do whatever it takes .

Her waist suddenly tightened, Yu Linglong was pulled into his arms, and his low voice sounded in her ears, with a scorching breath: “…The emperor asked me to pretend to be ignorant of the affairs and just enjoy the appearance to let the prince relax his vigilance . Although I agreed, I often felt depressed and uncomfortable . I often drank with my horse in the capital . One night, I was drunk again, and I rode my horse back and forth in the street as usual . I heard the cries of the people running and talking, and hearing their panicked footsteps fleeing, there was a burst of laughter in my heart . It was so good that everyone was afraid of me, that everyone was hiding from me . The street was empty, and I couldn’t see anyone . Everyone was hiding in the dark, cursing me, but no one dared to care about me, because I’m the Ninth Prince and I’m Lord Xu!”

“But that night, I saw a lone woman walking on the street with a little maid walking on the street without anyone else . You seemed to have never seen me or heard my voice at all . I was very angry at that time . Why did everyone avoid me but you? Why were you not afraid of me?”

Yu Linglong listened to him recalling how they met for the first time, and there was a sweetness in her heart, and she said with a slight smile: “Why should I be afraid of you? You don’t have three heads and six arms, and you can’t eat people . Why should I hide from you? “

Feeling her move in his arms, Lord Xu tightened his arms, as if he was afraid that she would leave soon, and muttered: “At that time, I only thought you were special . Then I woke up from the alcohol, and I suddenly thought, if I pretend to pursue you, the prince will definitely think that I am an unruly person . With you as a cover, he will relax his vigilance even more . So the next day, I started preparing to let everyone know that you, Linglong, are the woman I like . ”

Even though she knew that he was talking about his previous thoughts, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but squeeze him on the shoulder, and said with an angry face: “I knew you were using me!”

The powerful arms hugged her tightly, with deep apology and distress . His cold lips fell on her ears, turning into a soft kiss . Lord Xu said softly: “But even I didn’t expect it . In fact, from the first time I saw you, I could never erase your shadow in my heart . At that time, I just wanted to pretend to be myself and use all kinds of excuses to get close to you, but I didn’t know that my heart was tied to you a long time ago, and can’t be separated anymore . ”

“…Whenever I close my eyes, I always think of you . The first time I met you, you kicked me off the horse to protect a little maid; on the top of the mountain, you jumped into the crowd with your horse in order to protect your grandmother, even facing the danger alone; even for an injured stranger, you will do your best to protect his safety . Linglong, oh, Linglong, you are always protecting others, but do you know that every time I see you like this, how painful I feel, how much I want to hold you in my arms, protect you forever, stay with you forever, and never let you suffer the slightest grievance . ”

His words seemed to be directed to her like he was making a promise to her: “I said, I will protect you forever, I said, I will never leave you . I can let go of my self-esteem, and I can give up my pride . But I just can’t give up on you . Forgive me, forgive me for being so stupid, for not knowing how to please you; forgive me for not understanding my feelings, but only thinking that I wanted to use you; forgive me for putting you in a desperate situation, but you still take care of me…”

Listening to his sincere voice, Yu Linglong quietly tightened her pink lips, raised her pretty face from his arms, and tried to show a flowery smile: “If you want me to forgive you, then you will live well, and you will be able to make up for it in the future . ”

Lord Xu couldn’t help himself, and he lightly pecked her lips and said in a low voice: “Then you promise me, never leave me . If you leave—”

The big hand dragged her and put her little hand on his heart: “Even if I live, then in here, I will die . ”

Feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat in the palm of her hand, in this vast snowy night, in this uninhabited cave, she only felt a calmness that she had never had before .

It turned out that she could really give herself to another person, let him give her infinite strength and an infinite sense of security .

Her tender face was tightly nestled against his chest . Her voice was very soft, but it sounded extremely firm .

“I won’t let you die . From now on, you are me and I am you . We will live and die, and we will share honor and disgrace . ”

The flames leaped, projecting two dependent figures on the wall of the cave, appearing so intimate .

…

The morning sun poured into the cave, s.h.i.+ning on Yu Linglong’s eyes, and awakened her from her sleep .

Yu Linglong got up and looked around the cave, only to find that Lord Xu was not there . His cloak was still on her body, but she didn’t know where he was .

She didn’t know what time it was . She could only tell from the sky outside that it should be morning, but where did Lord Xu go? He still had injuries on his leg, so why would he leave her alone in the cave?

She suddenly became worried, and shouted, “Yu Lieyang!” without even thinking about it . She got up and walked out .

Before the entrance of the cave, she saw his long figure, like a big bird falling in front of her .

“Are you awake?” His handsome face smiled slightly, and his ink-colored eyes looked at her without blinking .

With a random wave of his big hand, he threw what was in his hand on the ground, and stretched out the hood to put it on her head: “It’s very cold outside, so stay in the cave and don’t walk around . ”

When Yu Linglong saw him, she felt relieved . When she heard him say this, she couldn’t help but purse her mouth in dissatisfaction: “You’re telling me not to walk around . I don’t know who is the one who dragged his injured leg and walked around in the morning?”

When she said this, she was still worried in her heart . Yu Linglong leaned over to check his wounds . Seeing that no blood was flowing out, she relaxed and raised her head, and asked, “What did you do?”

Lord Xu smiled, and said nonchalantly: “This little injury is nothing, it’s almost healed after healing all night . ”

With that said, he deliberately walked a few steps in front of Yu Linglong, showing that his injury was really much better .

He still didn’t dare work his injured leg too hard, but he was able to walk, and he couldn’t perform his flying martial arts temporarily .

Lord Xu walked into the cave and added some firewood to the fire that was about to go out . He pointed to the two hares beside him, and said, “You didn’t eat anything yesterday . I was afraid you were hungry, so I went out to find something to eat . ”

Yu Linglong’s heart warmed, and she walked over to him and sat down and smiled: “It turns out that you are not an incompetent person . He only hunted one hare that day, but he caught two hares today . It is really gratifying . ”

Lord Xu was amused by her, and he stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose: “If you said you were hungry, this prince would show his talents and try his best to give the princess something yummy!”

Seeing him skilfully skinning the hare and putting it on the fire, the smile on Yu Linglong’s face faded a little, and she looked at Lord Xu seriously: “How long do you plan to live here?”

They disappeared all night, and the emperor will definitely send people to search for them . The hunting ground of the spring hunt was not large, and she estimated that this valley will be found soon .

Now that Lord Xu was wounded, hiding here is obviously untimely, but if he just went back to the tent, the prince will probably take advantage of the injury and kill him .

Putting the hare on a branch, Lord Xu stretched out his hand to embrace her, and whispered: “If we can just live like this and I can stay with you for a lifetime, even if we live in the cave for the rest of our lives, why not?”

Yu Linglong leaned on his shoulders and smiled faintly: “If life can be so free, there will not be so many people hurting the spring and the autumn . ”

The two sighed at the same time and looked up at each other . Lord Xu shook her hand and said in a low voice: “If it is possible, I really want to leave everything behind and take you out of the dispute here . If the father found out, he would act like we were already dead . From now on, you and I can retreat from the ruling and the country, wander all over the world, and be idle people . How good would that be . ”

Yu Linglong shook his big hand back and patted it comfortingly: “Don’t forget what you said . When something big happens in the future, you will take me around the world and admire the beautiful scenery—”

Lord Xu gently kissed her on the cheek and said solemnly: “Okay, then we’re settled . When the big event comes, you and I will retreat from the world . From now on, we won’t ask anything of the world, only to give birth to a son . ”

Yu Linglong listened to him seriously, and when she heard the last sentence, she couldn’t help but laugh out loudly: “In your dreams!”

In the small cave, the two laughed and laughed at this moment, full of warmth .

Lord Xu stroked Yu Linglong’s long and silky hair, and said softly, “If I were to leave now, the prince would have no opponents, and he would be disloyal . My father is old, how can I be selfish and ignore him? Linglong, wait for me . Wait for me to serve my father for a hundred years, and I will definitely take you out of here . ”

Yu Linglong was silent for a moment, gathered the hair around her temples, and looked up at him: “Well, no matter what swords and fires are ahead, I will accompany you . ”

Lord Xu looked at her, and the two of them sat holding hands, both with the same thoughts .

After a long time, Lord Xu stretched out his hand to take the rabbit that had been roasted on the fire, tore it into shreds of rabbit meat, and handed it to Yu Linglong: “Hurry up and eat . ”

Yu Linglong stretched out her hand to take it, took a bite, and was a little surprised: “How is this done?”

When the two came out in a hurry, it was naturally impossible to bring any condiments with them . Yu Linglong originally thought that this rabbit meat without any seasoning or even salt must be unpalatable . Who knew that it tasted very delicious .

The pliable rabbit meat had the fragrance of charcoal fire, and it was grilled to be tender inside and out . It had a really special flavor .

Lord Xu took a taste and seemed to be very satisfied with his craft . He couldn’t help but smile triumphantly: “I picked up a lot of pine branches . This rabbit meat is roasted with pine, so it brings a fragrance of pine wood . Isn’t it delicious?”

Yu Linglong lowered her head and looked at the rabbit meat in her hand, with a mixed feeling in her heart .

She could hardly imagine how Lord Xu, dragging a wounded leg, was searching for pine branches in the snow on this cold winter morning, just to let her taste the best rabbit meat .

In addition to him, who else would mind her tastes so meticulously and carefully consider her feelings . Even in this extremely scarce snowy field, he must work hard to make her eat well, live warmly, and let her have the warmest and most intimate care .

The palm of his hand sank suddenly . He tore another rabbit leg to give to her, and he urged: “Hurry up and eat it while it is hot . It won’t taste good when it’s cold . ”

Yu Linglong nodded, just as she was about to say something, she heard one voice after another voice from afar: “Prince Xu, Princess Xu!”

It seemed that they disappeared all night, and it really caused the emperor to panic, and they were found so early .

The rabbit legs in his hands were unknowingly put down, and the two looked at each other silently . No one was willing to answer, as if they were reluctant to leave this narrow and cold small cave .

The voice from outside was getting closer . Lord Xu sighed, touched her hair gently, and whispered: “Let’s go out . ”

Yu Linglong stood up, draped his cloak on her shoulders, and her pretty face returned to her natural glamour: “Let’s go . ”

Leaving this cramped but warm cave, walking outside is another world .

They couldn’t see the weather when they were waiting, whether it was a gust of wind or rain or a warm spring sun . What was important is that they had each other, and even if they went to the ends of the world, they would not be alone again .

As soon as the two of them walked out of the cave, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention . On the icy and snowy cliff, a man and a woman stood side by side, both beautiful and extraordinary, like G.o.ds, standing on top of the ice and snow .

Seeing them, a cry of joy was heard immediately: “Princess, Lord!”

Ling’er, in thin clothes, stumbled over the thick snow and ran for a while before finally reaching them . Ling’er looked at Yu Linglong and Lord Xu, with tears of joy in her big eyes: “Princess, princess, you are all right, this is so good, oh—”

When Yu Linglong saw Ling’er safe and sound, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground . After the avalanche yesterday, she lost Ling’er’s whereabouts . After so many things happened, she has been unable to find time to find Ling’er . Now Seeing that Ling’er was okay, her face couldn’t help showing a faint smile: “Ling’er . ”

Lord Xu was also very lively . Several guards stepped forward and bowed, with relieved expressions on their faces: “Prince, we are too late, please forgive us!”

Lord Xu nodded as a response . He turned around and stretched out his big hand to Yu Linglong . With determination on his face, he said softly: “Linglong, let’s go down the mountain . ”

…

The large carriage was covered with thick fur mattresses . Two exquisite charcoal stoves were burning blazingly, making the carriage warm like spring, and a pot of Lord Xu’s favorite wine was blanched on the stove as usual . With a faint fragrance of wine, as the heat rose, it made them feel drunk .

Lord Xu leaned on the couch, wearing only a moon-white silk s.h.i.+rt . The sapphire crown on his head was slightly crooked, like a few strands of ink were scattered randomly, making him look as handsome as a person in the painting .

The wound on his leg had been treated and bandaged properly . At this moment, his face was a bit lazy and a bit relaxed . While playing with the wine gla.s.s, he smiled and looked at the person opposite .

“It’s worth the injury to be able to ride in the same carriage with you . You have to take care of yourself . ”

Yu Linglong was dressed in a white magnolia flowered gauze, with only a loose bun on her head, and wispy sideburns . Her hairpin ta.s.sels trembled gently as the carriage moved . It looked like her eyebrows were flying gracefully .

When she heard Lord Xu’s words, she smiled slightly, lifted the jug on the charcoal stove, filled the gla.s.s in his hand with some wine, and said, “You have a wound on your body . You should drink less of this wine . ”

After pouring the wine, she was about to pull back her hand, but her wrist was grabbed by him, and the carriage b.u.mped . She could not stand steady and could not help falling into his arms .

Lord Xu blew a breath in her ear and whispered: “I don’t need to drink it, I’m already drunk . Have you never heard that wine is not intoxicating, and people are intoxicated, and flowers are not charming, people are…”

His hot lips were caught in her ears, and he whispered in a low voice: “You are the flower that intoxicated me . ”

The carriage was as warm as the late spring . Yu Linglong was hugged by him so much that it felt hot and unbearable . She stretched out her hand and gently pushed him away, fixed her sideburns, and said, “I was injured and still so restless . I shouldn’t have given you a good face if I knew it a long time ago . ”

Lord Xu couldn’t help laughing, but he was still reluctant to let go of her, saying: “If you can do this every day, I would rather get hurt every day . ”

At this time, they were on their way back to the capital . Lord Xu was suddenly injured during the spring hunting period and almost died in an avalanche . The emperor naturally took it seriously and arranged chariots and horses to escort Lord Xu back to the capital to recover from his injuries .

Of course, this was some external rhetoric . Only Lord Xu and Yu Linglong knew that the emperor was worried that the prince would attack Lord Xu again, which immediately allowed Lord Xu to return to the capital .

The two of them rubbed their ears and temples for a while . Yu Linglong sat upright, stretched out a hand to open a gap in the curtain, and looked at the situation outside before whispering: “How did you tell the emperor?”

Lord Xu’s handsome face showed a bit of coldness, and he said: “I only told Father that the prince was going to kill me . ”

After a pause, he continued: “Even if I didn’t say it, Father would guess it . It was better to be honest . ”

It seemed that the emperor had long been suspicious of the seemingly benevolent prince . The emperor was in his prime of life, and the prince was full of misfortunes, and he would kill his compatriots . Such a prince was afraid that the emperor would no longer be pleased .

That’s why the prince must try his best to establish his own image of benevolence among the officials and the people so that the emperor can’t find excuses to abolish him . As long as he survived a few more years, once the emperor reached one hundred years, the world would belong to the prince and he will naturally be at his disposal .

Although the emperor was gentle on the surface, he might not have guessed the thoughts of the prince . For the prince, Lord Xu and others were his enemies and stumbling blocks on his path to the throne . He wished to remove them all and quickly, but to the emperor, Lord Xu was his most beloved prince . The prince was his own flesh and blood, and he must do everything possible to save his son’s life . However, the prince was getting older, and there was the power of the queen behind him . He was no longer under the control of the emperor, and would not listen to the emperor’s words . Under this contradiction, what choice will the father and son make?

Yu Linglong looked at the slightly trembling curtain, and said softly: “In the heart of the emperor, there is still hope for the prince . ”

A complicated look flashed across Lord Xu’s eyes, saying: “Yes, Father always hopes that the prince can be merciful to others . After all, the prince was established as a prince since he was a child, and the teachings he received were all the words of the sages and how to govern the country . Majestic plans, abilities, and cultivation are the best candidates for the prince . If there is no major change, Father will not be willing to abolish the prince . However, the prince is narrow-minded and extremely suspicious . The more he promised him that he would never establish another prince, the more the prince thought that his father had the intention to abolish him . Linglong, you don’t know, now the ruling and the opposition are changing, and the courtiers are gradually criticizing them . If this continues, I am afraid small conversations will become disputes, and the foundation of the court will also be affected . ”

The emperor and the prince were not in harmony with each other . It was already a secret that cannot be concealed . The courtiers will naturally be divided into different parties . Some support the prince and some support the emperor . There will be people with ulterior motives who want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and encourage the courtiers to support other princes . Over time, the court will naturally be greatly affected .

Lord Xu put down the wine gla.s.s and said coldly: “The prince is very suspicious now . Almost everything is a plan, Linglong, you don’t even know . Even Yu Peng was sent to southern Xinjiang by the prince secretly . ”

Yu Linglong was startled when she heard the words, and couldn’t help but blurt out and ask, “What?”

She could not have imagined that even the small General Yu mansion would be implicated in this partisan dispute . How could Yu Peng be involved in this partisan dispute because he was not high in the rank and had been fighting abroad all the year round?

Lord Xu sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand over Yu Linglong: “Just because I like you, the prince suspects that I am deliberately drawing the military commander, thinking that I want to plot the military power in Yu Peng’s hand, so he ordered Minister Feng to find an excuse to send Yu Peng to southern Xinjiang to keep him as far away from the capital as possible, so that I cannot use Yu Peng’s strength to make a plan . I only learned about this not long ago . ”

Yu Linglong was both angry and suspicious . The prince was too narrow-minded . Wasn’t it better to kill a thousand by mistake than to miss one?

As soon as her thoughts turned, Yu Linglong suddenly suppressed her smile, and her nerves suddenly tightened: “You mean, from the beginning when Minister Feng was finding a fault, it was a plan?”

Lord Xu nodded and said, “Yes, and you are only here because of me . ”

Yu Linglong tightened her pink lips and some broken fragments in her mind gradually connected together, like a puzzle, forming a hazy image . This was the first time that she realized that the answer she wanted was so extensive and deeply buried .

With a cold heart, Yu Linglong said in a deep voice, “So, everything I encountered before was arranged earlier . ”

Then the people involved were not as casual and natural as it seemed on the surface, but they were deliberately set by a big hand in the dark, and she was just one of the small chess pieces, pushed by the winner .

The anger that she was used to gradually burned in her heart . Yu Linglong’s pretty face was frosty, but she suppressed her anger . She tightened her lips and said nothing .

She was not stupid . Of course she immediately thought of the reason . The prince was able to play the big game of chess before because he had seen her personality: irritable, hard, and refused to bow her head to be soft, and refused to admit defeat . So he wanted to kill her with one hit .

Her courage and strength were originally her weapons to protect herself, but now it seemed that it was also a weakness that was exploited by others .

From the very beginning, she and s.h.i.+ Huiru met Feng Sihuai at Pudu Temple . This was a trap designed in advance . Feng Sihuai was born to be romantic, color-centric, and bold . When he saw her beauty, he would naturally salivate, plus she was in the wilderness again . In the temples in the wild, Feng Sihuai, who relied on his family’s dignity, would naturally tease her and even use his hands and feet . This was also expected early on .

And her character was not willing to suffer . It was only natural to teach Feng Sihuai a lesson . With her skill, Feng Sihuai will definitely not be pleased, and will definitely suffer greatly, and he will never easily spare Yu Linglong . And the spoiled Feng Sihuai, and the eager wife of the minister, will make the whole situation worse and worsen the situation . The final result was that the Feng family and the Yu family will forge a death feud .

As for future events, including Yu Qianliu’s death, it was even possible that the big hand behind it was pus.h.i.+ng it, and it was the last one!

Along the way, she looked back on the path she had traveled, and she couldn’t help feeling chills . She once thought that she could be a maverick, breaking out a unique path in ancient times and subverting all secular prejudices, but now it seemed that she was self-righteous, resolute, and ruthless . It turned out that it was just a path designed by others .

However, they might not expect that she would choose to marry Lord Xu in the end . Or, for them, her humble status was not enough to attract their attention, so they did not stop her from marrying into Lord Xu .

Yes, in their eyes, what help can a ruined general’s b.a.s.t.a.r.d daughter give to Lord Xu?

Seeing the unpredictable look on her face, Lord Xu couldn’t help worrying, and stretched out his hand to hold her hand: “Linglong, are you okay?”

Yu Linglong came back to her senses but did not get into a rage as usual, and a delicate smile appeared on her face: “I’m fine . ”

Now that she had figured out this section, she couldn’t even lose her temper at every turn as before . Maybe in the Yu house, this method could protect her from harm, but in this wave of treacherous waves, in the dispute between the ruling party and the opposition, her behavior was tantamount to handing herself over, letting others control her own destiny .

Did they think she could only play with violence? They underestimated her too much!

If you want to play, sister, I will accompany you to the end!

Nestled in the arms of Lord Xu, Yu Linglong smiled like a flower: “Husband, when we return to the palace, can I manage the household?”

Lord Xu only heard the first half of the sentence and interrupted her in surprise: “What did you call me?”

Yu Linglong covered her mouth and smiled, and said, “Of course I called you husband . Why, don’t you like it?”

Hearing what she said, Lord Xu pecked her on her lips heavily, and laughed: “I like it, of course I like it! I love it!”

Seeing his surprise, Yu Linglong shook her head helplessly, and had to repeat what she said just now: “I just asked you, when we go back to the palace, can I manage the household?”

Immersed in the joy of her calling him her husband, Lord Xu nodded without even thinking about it: “Okay, of course! You are the princess, of course you can manage the household!”

Yu Linglong nodded and said unceremoniously: “Okay . The first thing is I want you to send a letter to the emperor, saying that you want to heal your wounds at home, and you will never leave the house . ”

Lord Xu agreed: “Well, this is what I want to do . ”

The prince worked hard but still failed to hurt Lord Xu’s life . The next step was likely to have to jump over the wall or even tear his skin . Since there was no way to contend with it, it was best to avoid his sharp edges and heal his wounds and not leave the house .

Seeing that Lord Xu was connected with her, Yu Linglong smiled slightly and continued: “The second thing is, I want to clean up the door . If you want to come to see Lord Xu, you won’t need so many idlers, only the people you know, and all the other people are dismissed . ”

Although Butler Zhao had already dismissed a group of subordinates last time, Yu Linglong did not believe that the current Royal Palace of Xu was safe . Since the prince was so suspicious, there should still be spies among the servants . Since she had decided to fight side by side with Lord Xu, she naturally wanted to keep their residences clean, rather than let them live under surveillance .

Lord Xu nodded and agreed: “You are the princess, I will listen to you!”

Yu Linglong smiled and nodded, and then said: “The third thing, I want to use silver, and I need a lot more money . “

Lord Xu said: “Well, I’ll go to the accountant to pick it up when I go back . You can use as much as you like . ”

Yu Linglong was startled and asked, “Don’t you want to ask me what I want money for?”

Lord Xu didn’t even think about it and said, “You have your reasons naturally . I am your husband . I will give you whatever you want . I will give you as much as you want . As for how you want to use it, you can use it for whatever you want . As long as you are happy . ”

Yu Linglong pursed her pink lips, and said softly, “You said this as if I was going to do something bad . ”

Did he know how much she wanted? Did he know what she wanted? He agreed so happily, and she even wondered if he would regret his decision in the future .

Lord Xu laughed and rubbed her head: “Little fool . What do you think? Since you married me, of course I want to make you happy forever without any worries . ”

Yu Linglong’s heart was warm . She couldn’t help leaning on his shoulder and whispered: “You are so good to me . I’m so happy . ”

It turned out that there was such a man in the world . If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her ears, she would never believe that there would still be a man in this world who loved her so much, and he loved her, not for anything, just because she was Yu Linglong, the woman he wanted to love for his entire life .

The painful memories of her previous life seemed to be just a nightmare, painful and hurtful, but after all, it was over .

Once upon a time, she almost thought that her heart was broken, and she would never trust any man again, never believe any sweet words, but in the end, she was still defeated by his hands and his heart .

In love, there is always one party who concedes first . She was so proud and never bowed her head, so she thought she would never lose . But she didn’t know that there was a kind of surrender, but it was a fatal temptation . He was willing to let go of his pride, give up his status, and lower his high head in front of her, not because he was humble, but because in his heart, she was more important than his status .

The man bowed his head and gave up . The woman couldn’t resist this temptation . She had no choice but to fall completely .

On her cheek was his hot kiss, with his soft breath gently falling on her sideburns: “You are my wife . If I am not good to you, who will be good to you?”
