"Since it's a show, let's do the whole thing. Why are Princess Qingyun telling this to the king?" Li Fu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Qingyun, half-smiling and said: "Princess Qingyun is in the palace, so she can't see clearly. She is the patron of the palace. Is it related to your royal family?"
"It's because I can see clearly that I'm telling you this." Xia Qingyun winked playfully at Li Fu and smiled sweetly: "After all, outside of this courtyard, no one will believe anything you say to the outside world."
Hearing these words, Li Fu couldn't help but look at Xia Qingyun with admiration.
Then I heard Xia Qingyun continue: "As for why I am telling you this? Haha, if I want to cooperate with the young prince, I always have to show some sincerity!"
"Cooperation? What cooperation?" Li Fu asked curiously.
Seeing that Li Fu finally began to look at her seriously, instead of treating her as a silly and sweet vase, Xia Qingyun showed a satisfied smile on her face and began to say: "The young prince does not want to marry me, and I happen to have the same intention. But the father's intention to marry me to you is even more determined than you think, little prince. The joke that the young prince said that day that he liked the eldest princess and would marry her if he wanted to marry her could only be regarded as a temporary statement. The excuse is not a reason to break off the engagement. In a few days, your father will definitely summon you to the palace again to discuss marriage. Unless the patron palace rebels, our engagement must be fulfilled. Therefore, If the patron palace has no plans to rebel in the past two years, then how about the young prince cooperating with me?"
Li Fu asked: "What kind of cooperation method?"
Xia Qingyun replied: "In a physical marriage, let's act out the drama of a happy marriage and a harmonious relationship. The young prince promised his father to get married, just delay the time, and we will not interfere with each other after the marriage. My father is so eager to get us married because he just wants me to be pregnant with your child. If we only want the name of husband and wife but not the reality of husband and wife, naturally we will not let our father get his wish."
"He is eager to get you pregnant with my child? Why?" Li Fu asked.
Hearing Li Fu's question, Xia Qingyun's eyes evaded obviously, she shook her head and said: "I don't know, maybe I want to contain you, the young prince, with blood and family ties. After all, you will have the final say in the future of this patron palace. "
"Really?" Li Fu was noncommittal to Xia Qingyun's answer.
Although he had no respect for Xia Zhende in private, and was even very contemptuous, Li Fu did not think that Xia Zhende was a fool who was naive enough to think that if Li Fu had a child with his daughter, the palace would not rebel.
There must be some other reason among this, which is extremely fatal to Li Fu and even to the palace of his patron.
However, although he saw that Xia Qingyun was hiding something, Li Fu did not pursue it. The two have just started talking about cooperation and have not let down their guard yet. It is normal for them not to tell the whole story.
Li Fu asked again: "Then you can't always have children, right? As a princess, you have been unable to conceive. The emperor will definitely send an imperial doctor to check you. Wouldn't that be exposed?"
"I will have my own way when the time comes. In short, I can delay it for a while. It won't take long anyway, right? How many years can I endure the royal family after so many years of strength accumulated in the patron palace?" Xia Qingyun said with a confident smile.
From the mouth of Xia Qingyun, a princess of the royal family, she openly said that the palace of her patron was going to rebel, which made Li Fu sound a bit awkward and inconsistent.
Putting his hand on the table and tapping "tick-tick-tick", Li Fu pondered for a moment and then asked: "But what good does this do to you? Whether it is a physical marriage with this king, or a supporter It seems like you won’t get any benefits from the rebellion in the palace, right?”
Regarding Xia Qingyun, Li Fu didn't do anything to hide it, and directly acquiesced that it was a fact that the palace of his patron would rebel.
Anyway, just like what Xia Qingyun said at the beginning, with the relationship between the patron palace and the royal family, no one would believe any bad things the two said about each other outside this courtyard.
He could understand that Xia Qingyun didn't want to be married off like a puppet and a victim.
But why did Xia Qingyun hope that her patron's palace would rebel and overthrow the Xia family's rule?
Li Fu couldn't figure this out anyway.
Why do you think Xia Qingyun won't get any benefit from it?
Unless...the royal family continues to exist, it will do more harm to Xia Qingyun!
Regarding Li Fu's doubts, Xia Qingyun still did not answer directly, but said half-jokingly: "Whether it is a physical marriage or not, I will be your princess after the marriage. This is a fact. If the rebellion of the patron palace is successful, then I will be the queen. , isn’t this considered a benefit?”
"Okay." Li Fu still didn't ask for details. After casually agreeing, he gently led him away, then stretched out his hand and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
Xia Qingyun was slightly startled. She didn't expect Li Fu to agree so readily. Although she didn't understand what Li Fu meant by wanting to shake hands, after she realized what she was doing, she still stretched out her hand and shook it with Li Fu.
Li Fu's big hand tightly wrapped Xia Qingyun's weak and boneless hand. He did not let go immediately, but said with a smile: "Princess Qingyun, if my hand has been touched by this king, you are my king's. As for what you just said Generally speaking, I have no objections. There is only one point. I can only agree to half of the clause of not interfering with each other after marriage. If you don't want to do it with me, that's okay; if I don't interfere with you, no problem. Even if it's In a physical marriage, if you dare to mess around after marriage, I will also get angry. The consequences of my anger will be very serious. "
Li Fu's tone sounded like he was joking, but looking at his smiling face, you knew she was serious.
Xia Qingyun said without any hesitation: "No problem, I am not that kind of licentious person. I used to stay in the palace every day, but after I got married, it was just a change of place, even more so than in the palace." If you feel more at ease, young prince, you don’t have to worry that I won’t be able to bear the loneliness.”
"Hahaha, that's good! That's good!" Li Fu laughed loudly and let go of Xia Qingyun's hand, and began to apologize: "I was in the palace that day and acted a little impulsively. I hope Princess Qingyun can forgive me. ! Is your personal maid getting better from her injury? There are high-quality healing medicines in the palace. Remember to bring them with you when Princess Qingyun returns to the palace later!"
"Of course not. The young prince is also putting on a show to break off the engagement. I know it in my heart, so naturally I won't take it to heart. It's just a pain for Xiaojuan. She passed away the next day because of her serious injuries." Xia Qingyun said with some regret.
The maid is dead? Li Fu was a little surprised.
He still knows the severity of his attacks. Although that slap looked serious, it was absolutely stupid and not nerve-wracking. The most serious thing was that he lost a few teeth. How could he die?
Could it be that the maid was an undercover agent sent to Xia Qingyun, and she took this opportunity to kill her directly?
Looking at Xia Qingyun, who had no sadness on her face, Li Fu felt that he must have guessed the truth.
