After the great victory in Hexian County, Li Tongguang and King Shaxi brought Chuyue and others back to the court.
The day after Li Tongguang returned to Andu, Emperor An died.
Emperor An left a legacy and appointed Qing Duke Li Tongguang as regent to assist the third prince in enthroning the throne, and to handle the affairs of the court before the emperor was underage.
Regent's Palace.
Chuyue sat in the hall and waited boredly for Li Tongguang.
As soon as Li Tongguang stepped into the hall, Chu Yue suddenly stood up.
"Li Tongguang, come here, I'll discuss something with you."
Li Tongguang glanced at Chuyue, walked to the tea table and sat down: "What's the matter?"
Chuyue leaned over, approached Li Tongguang, and said softly: "Look, you are now the regent. This marriage between us..."
Li Tongguang poured tea by himself: "What happened to the marriage? The county master is not satisfied with this king?"
Chuyue: "What are you dissatisfied with? Look, we were forced to get engaged originally. Now that the late emperor is gone, and you are the biggest in Anguo, you can just back out of this marriage if you want."
Li Tongguang's eyes flashed: "Have you ever thought about it, county master, if I break off the engagement now, how will the whole court and the people of Da'an feel?"
Chuyue sat back down and said nonchalantly: "You are now the regent, and you are not afraid of the emperor. If you are afraid of what they will do, just say that you and I have no feelings, and we don't want to delay each other, right?"
Li Tongguang took a sip of tea and said quietly: "I am the regent, but without the support of Sha Xixi, I cannot be the regent. Now if you and I break off the engagement, Sha Xixi..."
There was a hint of threat in the second half of his words.
Chuyue's eyes narrowed and she looked at Li Tongguang: "You want to take action against Sha Xixi?"
"If Sha Xixi is one of our own, then I naturally have no reason to take action, but if not, then I can't keep him." Li Tongguang shook the tea cup in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips, and his tone was casual.
Chu Yue slapped the table and stood up, shouting at Li Tongguang: "Li Tongguang! How could you do this? You can't turn your back on others."
"Although you and I have broken off the engagement, it doesn't mean Shaxi is no longer on your side."
Li Tongguang put down his tea cup, stood up, and looked directly at Chu Yue: "County Lord, it is better to have some restraint than nothing, are you right?"
Chuyue frowned and said in an anxious tone: "No, then you, wouldn't it be great if you could choose another girl you like from Shaxi? You and I hate each other, and marrying me will only make the two of us unhappy. It’s not comfortable.”
Li Tongguang lowered his head and said with a smile: "Compared to others, you, the beloved daughter of King Shaxi, have more weight."
"I have important matters to deal with, so I won't accompany the County Lord. The County Lord does as he pleases."
Li Tongguang left after speaking, not giving Chu Yue a chance to speak again.
Chuyue looked at the merciless back and almost cursed.
When she returned to the Duke of Chu's palace, she became more and more angry as she thought about it.
"What's going on with Li Tongguang? Now is a good time to break off the engagement. He's already the regent, and he's still worried that Sha Xixi won't side with him."
Xiaoxing looked at the angry look on his county boss's face and was a little puzzled: "County boss, isn't it good not to break off the engagement? My future uncle is now inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. We, Shaxi, will also benefit from it, right? ?”
Chu Yue calmed down and said, "That's good. He and I hate each other. Originally, when the late emperor was still here, he wanted to coexist peacefully and treat each other with respect."
"But now that the late emperor is gone, he has the ability to break off the engagement, but he just chose not to break off the engagement because he was worried that Shaxi would not support him after the breakup."
Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment and said: "But the regent often came to the house to see you some time ago, but I didn't see you looking at each other with disgust."
Chuyue paused: "Well, then I thought he was coming to break off the engagement, so I didn't give him a look. Who knows, he came several times and didn't mention the breakup, so I had to go and mention it in person."
Xiaoxing's eyes were questioning: "County Lord, is this really the case?"
Chuyue said confidently: "Of course it's true! Well, since he won't retreat, then I will make trouble with him every day until he retreats."
Xiaoxing looked at Chuyue who was determined not to give up, and she shook her head gently.
Obviously when the regent came, the county owner's temper was much softer than before, and she looked like a little girl waiting for her sweetheart.
The same goes for the regent. Although his face is expressionless, he is unusually gentle when facing the county master.
She didn't realize that these two people were in a state of mutual dislike.
