Chapter 472 Don’t Pick Up 29
Xie Chengyao originally didn't want to go to Nanlin Kingdom so quickly.
After all, he was not ready to face his lover.
He had faked his own death and deceived her, and he was not yet ready to give any explanation.
Besides, Su Lingruo doesn’t seem sad at all. Does she dislike me?
When he thought of this possibility, Xie Chengyao's heart felt like it was being gripped and crushed by an invisible hand.
I want to stay by Su Lingruo's side openly.
In his capacity.
In his own capacity.
Instead of wearing a mask, pretending to be another man's face, and pretending to be sick.
Xie Chengyao, who had been staying in Nanlin Kingdom before, enjoyed it. He liked watching the two idiots in Nanlin Kingdom fighting openly and secretly, which added spice to his boring life.
But since meeting Su Lingruo, everything has changed.
He approached her, forced the emperor to grant the marriage, and forcibly married her.
Even if Su Lingruo stayed by his side and became his wife, it would be far from enough.
Because Xie Chengyao used the identity of the Crown Prince of Nanlin Kingdom, he was another man, with another man's face, and imitated a sickly posture, approaching her step by step.
Does she know his true identity?
she does not know.
Xie Chengyao has always been afraid that Su Lingruo would know his true identity.
Would she still want him? Would she still accept him?
Uneasy and hesitant, Xie Chengyao dared not go to Nanlin Kingdom to look for Su Lingruo.
Until I heard the news that the Queen of Nanlin Kingdom was planning to expand her harem.
He had only been "dead" for a few years, and she had found another man so quickly?
I have always heard that the empress has an empty harem and Xie Chengyao, who doesn't even have a male favorite, is still complacent. It turns out that she has him in her heart.
Even after he died, she was unwilling to find another male lover.
But now, Xie Chengyao rushed to the southern border in almost a blink of an eye, and then sent an envoy to meet Su Lingruo.
Su Lingruo would never refuse such generous conditions. After all, as long as she married a man, she could unify the world and obtain the Kingdom of North Vietnam.
She certainly wouldn't refuse.
He could get back to her again.
Be with her again.
However, Xie Chengyao did not expect that after arriving in Nanlin Kingdom and staying in the harem of Nanlin Kingdom for several days, he had not seen Su Lingruo once.
"Your Majesty is very busy... He dealt with the new champion the day before yesterday, and had a candlelit conversation with General Lin last night."
When the palace servant saw Xie Chengyao's dark face, he shuddered for unknown reason. Why did he feel that the king from the North Vietnam had such a terrifying look like the dead emperor?
"Have those princes, generals, prime ministers, and top scholars ever seduced the empress?" Xie Chengyao said this almost gritting his teeth.
The palace servant swallowed and nodded, "They all like your Majesty very much and have tried their best to enter your Majesty's harem, but they have not succeeded yet, but..."
"But what?"
"According to gossip, the reason why Her Majesty didn't let them enter the harem was because she wanted them to work hard for her. If they entered the harem, it would be difficult for them to interfere in government affairs. But Her Majesty also likes them very much, and I think they have taken them in private."
The palace maids were full of envy: "The crown prince and the general are so handsome, His Majesty must like them too. His Majesty has never opened up the harem to a large number of people before, and the sons of the court officials have never had a chance, but this year, who knows, the harem will be lively."
The palace maid continued, "You are the prince of the Northern Yue Kingdom. I think His Majesty will also make you a concubine..."
The rare treasures displayed on the cabinet with dragon and phoenix patterns fell down with a crisp sound and turned into broken porcelain on the ground.
"roll,"
The palace maid shuddered, not understanding why this man from North Vietnam who came to marry into the royal family was so angry, and she quickly got out.
Concubine?
He doesn't want it.
That damn prime minister, general, and prince, all get out of here.
Xie Chengyao no longer cared about being reserved. Originally, he wanted to wait for Su Lingruo to come and see him, and then start over with him in his current identity. But now, if he didn't take the initiative, wouldn't there be a new group of male concubines in the harem?
Su Lingruo was reviewing memorials in the hall when a palace maid came up to her and told her that the king of North Vietnam, who was coming to marry a foreign princess, wanted to see her.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Xie Chengyao walked into the hall and saw Su Lingruo at first sight.
After not seeing each other for a year, the woman sat tall, her face was still as beautiful and charming, her eyebrows and eyes were still gentle, but with a bit of imperial sharpness.
Su Lingruo raised her eyes slightly, but her eyes that looked at him were cold and without any warmth.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty." Xie Chengyao raised his head and looked directly into those cold phoenix eyes, holding back the bitterness that surged in his heart, "This king is willing to give North Vietnam to Nanlin, but there are conditions."
"Of course I know. Haven't I satisfied you?"
"Marriage is only one of the conditions. Your Majesty, I want you to send all those top scholars, princes and generals away to my North Vietnam."
He could hardly suppress the jealousy surging in his heart.
Originally, he wanted Su Lingruo to kill them all, but Xie Chengyao suddenly remembered that if he killed them, wouldn't it be an easy opportunity for those despicable men? Those who dared to seduce his Majesty would naturally be sent to the bitter and cold land of North Vietnam and tortured.
Su Lingruo: “….”
"I don't agree."
She is not a tyrant. The top scholar and the prince are her loyal ministers and capable subordinates. There is no reason to send them away.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that North Vietnam will break the agreement?" Xie Chengyao's voice was filled with a hint of grievance. He looked straight at Su Lingruo, as if she was a heartless man.
"Have you forgotten that you are still in my Nanlin?" Su Lingruo chuckled, "But since the king wants to break the agreement, I am willing to give you this opportunity. Go back. When you return to Beiyue, we will settle the accounts."
Is she chasing him away?
Xie Chengyao, however, did not move. He just stood there in a stalemate, his eyes reddened a little, and he looked at her pleadingly, "Lingruo, please don't leave me."
His voice returned to the way it had been when he was in the south.
Su Lingruo sneered, "Are you not pretending anymore?"
Xie Chengyao lowered his head. The arrogant king of North Vietnam was now like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for judgment.
"I don't want to hide it from you. I just want to give you a surprise."
At that time, he just wanted to return to North Vietnam, take care of everything, and then hand North Vietnam over to Su Lingruo to please her.
Faking death was just a whim.
He wanted to change his identity, wanted to see how important he was in his lover's heart, and wanted to make room for her.
"Surprise?" Su Lingruo was so angry that she almost laughed. If she hadn't noticed his abnormality early on and knew that it was not Xie Chengyao who died, but Xie Chengyao was still alive and well, she would have been scared to death by him.
What a surprise! It's clearly a shock.
But looking at Xie Chengyao in front of her with a pale face and lifeless eyes, as if he would break if she said any words of reproach, Su Lingruo's anger was mostly subsided.
After all, he left her because he wanted to give North Vietnam to her. Even though his method of leaving was a bit extreme, it was only so that she would remember him deeply.
If I forgive Xie Chengyao like this, would it be too indulgent for him?
