Seeing that Xu He was frightened, Zhang Huiheng finally put the knife back proudly: "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Xu He originally thought about explaining his affairs clearly in front of the other party.
But when he saw it was Lu Heng, he didn't know where to start.
After thinking for a long time, he asked: "Since you already know that I am coming to Beijing, why don't you find an opportunity to come out and meet me?"
Zhang Huiheng rarely blushed and said: "I originally wanted to find an opportunity to wear eunuch clothes and sneak out of the palace with my uncle, but my father and mother were very concerned about me. Even when I came out this time, my mother was relieved!"
When Xu He heard this, he secretly guessed that the emperor had already planned it!
"After you returned to the palace, did you mention me to the emperor and queen?"
Zhang Huiheng said proudly: "That's natural. You and I have been running away for so long. Even if I didn't say anything, Lao Zheng would have told my mother!"
"Old Zheng is...?"
"A eunuch who specializes in serving my mother! Old Zheng is in charge of all the keys in the palace, including the keys to the inner treasury!"
"Well, you don't need to go into such detail!"
With that said, it's no wonder.
Eunuch Zheng and the princess must have mentioned this matter in front of the queen, and the emperor became interested when he found out.
After such negotiation between the two parties, hey...
As for the British government, the Japanese literary society was just a cover. The so-called literary society probably had a lot of eyes on itself.
He also served as Wu Decao's gunman... I covered my face just thinking about it.
Zhang Huiheng probably didn't know these things. When she saw Xu He, she was extremely excited and said: "Did you bring that grill? I want to eat the barbecue you made! I'm so greedy. In the palace, every day Everyone wants that bite.”
Xu He scratched his head: "If you want to eat it, I can find a craftsman to make one!"
"Okay, okay, after I leave the palace, you take me with you..."
Just as he was saying this, Zhang Huiheng's face suddenly turned red: "I, uh, it's my father, the queen and my queen's wishes. I don't want to marry you!"
Xu He: "..."
Although he knew that this was not the time to speak his mind, Xu He still felt that since the princess was Lu Heng, he had to say some things in advance, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
"Princess……"
"Call me Huiheng or Lu Heng. Every time I hear you call me [Lu Heng], I think you are calling me uncle. It makes me laugh to death!" Zhang Huiheng was as excited as a child who has not grown up. .
Xu He said seriously: "Huiheng, there is something I want to tell you!"
Seeing that Xu He became serious, Zhang Huiheng stopped making trouble: "Well, you say it!"
"Actually, I was quite surprised that the emperor granted me a marriage!"
"Me too!" Zhang Huiheng blushed.
Xu He swallowed: "You, you know Sister Gu, right?"
Hearing this, the smile that had been on Zhang Huiheng's face gradually faded.
Xu He said anxiously: "I, um, I promised Sister Gu before that I would definitely give her the title of concubine in the future, and I will never treat her as a concubine!"
Zhang Huiheng stared at Xu He without saying a word.
The person who originally liked to laugh suddenly stopped talking, and Xu He was in a state of confusion.
But what needs to be said is: "Huiheng, I know the rules..."
Zhang Huiheng stretched out his hand to stop Xu He: "Is this why you called me out?"
Xu He nodded.
"Then what do you mean now?"
"Should I just sit back and enjoy the blessings of everyone, or should I stay and fly with your sister Gu, and then..., then, retreat..."
When the word "withdrawal from engagement" was mentioned, Zhang Huiheng's eyes turned red. Although he did not shed tears, his voice was so choked that he could no longer speak.
After Xu He was silent for a while, he said bravely: "Hui Heng, someone has advised me to slowly tell the story about Sister Gu after we get married!"
"But I think this is irresponsible to the princess and Sister Gu."
"I've been tossing and turning these days, thinking about this all the time!"
"But in the end, I told myself that since I made a promise to Sister Gu first, then I must fulfill my vow! Otherwise, who would I be..."
Zhang Huiheng stared at Xu He and said: "But now you have accepted and asked for the name. In that case, why did you agree to this marriage in the first place?"
Xu He was speechless.
He couldn't say that it was all your father's fault.
Seeing that Xu He was speechless, Zhang Huiheng said coldly: "Xu Liangsheng, I tell you, you are determined to marry this princess! If you want to break off the engagement, it's too late, unless you hold your head in your hands and break off!"
"Huiheng!"
At this time, Princess Qinghe Zhang Huiheng flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked back.
Xu He sighed.
Sometimes, the price of being an honest person is so high.
Zhang Huiheng, no, Lu Heng just left.
Regardless of whether they are married or not, the bad blood between the two parties is deep. As a result, even the escape route that Zhang Tengxiao and Wu Decao had planned for themselves has been blocked by themselves!
Moreover, he also lost a friend who was closer than a friend, Lu Heng!
But Xu He has no regrets.
Now, Zhang Huiheng hates himself, but at least, there is still room for redemption. At worst, he will resign and take Sister Gu around the world, no matter what the floods are.
But if he didn't confess now, he would let Zhang Huiheng know the promise he had made to Sister Gu after the marriage.
That would just make her look down on her.
I feel like I am a power-hungry person.
After thinking about this, Xu He felt enlightened.
At this time, the previous palace maid came back and said: "Master, now that you have finished talking to the princess, the slave will also leave!"
"Wait a moment!"
Xu He said: "Please girl, please wait for a moment behind the screen."
The woman looked at Xu He in surprise, wondering what else he wanted?
At this time, Xu He walked out of the room and shouted to the courtyard door: "Is there anyone outside? Bring a pen and paper!"
"Yes! Mr. Xu!" replied the British servant who was waiting outside the door.
After a while, a maid walked into the room holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Xu He picked up the ink and started grinding it on the inkstone. At this moment, the wind suddenly started blowing outside the window.
He dropped the ink stick, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper:
A strong wind rises in the capital,
There is a lot of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's too late to meet you,
Farewell to Jianghu!
The strong wind blew today, and I suddenly thought of the fun and shared time in Hailing.
It's too late to meet you, but I have an appointment.
From now on we say goodbye, and when we meet again, I may already be a passer-by in the world!
Xu He dried the ink on the paper, carefully folded it, walked around the screen and handed it to the palace maid.
"Please pass it to Princess Qinghe and tell her that Xu He is sorry for her!"
After saying that, he held up the Shifang Guan and straightened his clothes. Thinking that the palace maid was Zhang Huiheng, he bowed deeply and turned around to leave.
The palace maid was stunned for a long time before she remembered the letter in her hand and hurried back.
After just two steps, she saw the princess with tears on her face looking towards her on the veranda.
It turns out that the princess has not gone far.
The palace maid quickly and carefully presented the letter.
After Zhang Huiheng opened it and finished reading, he suddenly burst into tears: "Mom..."
