Even Li Xiuye didn't expect that the emperor would cheat on him.
Li Xiuye was originally very confident in this battle, but who knew that one of his own people would actually attack him, severely injure himself while he was fighting with others, and then abandon him in this poor place in the wilderness.
Then let the enemy troops break through the city gate, so that the emperor will blame him for neglecting his duty, and then the emperor will definitely find a reason to kill him.
If he could bear it before, he can no longer bear it now.
Qu Xiaonan felt worried when she saw his bad expression. She walked over and held his hand, asking softly: "Where are we going now?"
Li Xiuye turned to look at her with a complicated expression.
"We can't go back to Fengyun Mansion now. The emperor wants to harm me. If we go back now, we will be convicted by the emperor and escape from the battlefield. Now the emperor is worried about how to convict me. I'm afraid I will have to hide here for a while."
Li Xiuye sighed.
Qu Xiaonan snorted and nodded: "It doesn't matter, then I'll stay with you here, and we, husband and wife, will advance and retreat together."
Li Xiuye suddenly laughed: "Stupid or not, you can't kill anyone, but I don't want to tell the emperor the truth until the last step."
"What's the truth?" Qu Xiaonan raised her head in confusion and looked at him, with a pair of big black and white eyes, full of innocence.
Li Xiuye reached out and stroked her soft long hair. He was very pleased and touched that she could appear in front of him at this time and take care of him. He even actually fell in love with the little girl in front of him.
He gently held her in his arms, placed his chin on her smooth and delicate forehead, and said softly: "Do you want to have a good life with me and become a real couple in the future?"
Qu Xiaonan was stunned after hearing his words. She didn't expect that he would actually ask this question at this time.
She raised her head and looked at him, their eyes meeting.
Real couple...these words attracted Qu Xiaonan.
"I want to!" She nodded vigorously without concealing it.
Li Xiuye laughed deeply, stretched out his hand to rub her head, his eyes were so gentle that they were about to drip with water: "If I were alone, even if he killed me now, I would never tell him the truth.
, I will only get what I want through my own means.
But with you, I seem to have longed for a family, which seems like a good idea, and I also want to use some correct means to get what I want and what I want to give you."
He paused and continued: "Xiaonan, are you willing to stay with me forever?" He stared at her deeply.
Qu Xiaonan looked into his eyes, into his dark eyes: "I do."
She didn't hesitate at all and agreed to him without hesitation, because this was what she expected.
They had been married for half a year. They lived under the same roof every day, and she was always secretly peeping at him, peeping at his exquisite appearance and indifferent face.
There is always a faint melancholy between his brows, and he always remains silent, but it can be seen that he is not as calm inside as he appears on the surface.
But now, Li Xiuye thinks so too.
Li Xiuye also fell in love with her after a long period of love.
Both of them decided to live a down-to-earth life in the future.
Li Xiuye lowered his head, kissed her lips, and whispered in her ear: "If you escape the wind for a while, I will take you home."
Qu Xiaonan nodded, but Qu Xiaonan didn't expect that this time would be much more difficult than she imagined.
They had nowhere to go. There were officers and soldiers outside arresting Li Xiuye. The emperor had already convicted him of dereliction of duty, and he would be executed immediately if caught.
How could he be executed by this group of people? He wanted to stand in front of the emperor alive and take back everything.
Li Xiuye didn't want to hurt Qu Xiaonan, so he collected firewood and timber in the forest and repaired the house. Qu Xiaonan kept helping her.
When they were hungry, they would catch some pheasants to eat. In the true sense of pastoral life, the two of them depended on each other, and their hearts seemed to be much stronger.
At night, when the fire was burning high, Li Xiuye held her in his arms and put thick clothes on her. Qu Xiaonan leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "I always feel that you have a lot on your mind."
"I have no secrets in my heart, I just don't want to cause trouble to you." Li Xiuye lowered his head and kissed her, his eyes loving and warm.
Qu Xiaonan smiled: "Then tell me why the emperor is targeting you, and what truth do you want to tell the emperor?"
Li Xiuye sighed, his eyes dark, and his tone revealed a sad feeling.
"My biological mother is the emperor's concubine. Few people know about this. When my mother-in-law fell in love with another man, she never thought about entering the palace as a concubine. She was forced into it by her family.
After entering the palace, she could not forget her young man and wanted to run away with someone else. Later, the emperor found out about this and ordered the man's head to be beheaded.
Later, my mother-in-law became pregnant, and the emperor thought that I was a scoundrel, so he sent people to take me out of the palace. After they sent me out of the palace, my biological mother died with hatred, and there was not even a funeral ceremony." After Li Xiuye finished speaking.
Qu Xiaonan was a little shocked when he heard this shocking secret: "So, you are the emperor's biological son, but the emperor has always thought you were an evildoer and has been trying to get rid of you for so many years?"
"If he wanted to kill me, he would have strangled me in the cradle long ago. He has only tortured me for so many years and kept me alive. He just wanted to see me suffer and watch me do things for him.
Now that my prestige is greater than that of his prince, he is naturally panicked and wants to get rid of me." Li Xiuye said it in a nonchalant way.
Qu Xiaonan felt a little angry when she heard that. She clenched her fists tightly, and the anger in her heart could not be eliminated: "How could he deny his son."
"Xiao Nan, I never thought of telling him that I was his son. I just wanted to use my own means to force Fu Liang back and snatch his throne directly. I never thought of relying on this kind of family card.
"Li Xiuye lowered his head and kissed her forehead, comforting her softly.
Qu Xiaonan hugged his neck: "That's really wronging you, but I don't want you to be involved in so many killings. I want you to know the truth. The emperor treats you like this because he doesn't know that you are his.
Son, otherwise he wouldn’t treat you like this.”
"Let's not talk about them, Xiaonan, you are my only relative now. It would be better if we could have a child, and I would have more relatives. Are you willing to give birth to a child for me?" Li Xiuye
Suddenly the child was mentioned.
Qu Xiaonan's face turned slightly red, and she punched him sweetly: "How old am I? I don't want children."
The two people have been in love here for a long time, and sparks fly.
They were in this house, a beautiful room, with endless love. He tossed her all night long, and from this night, they became a real couple, cherishing each other's hearts and loving each other.
They slept in each other's arms, surrendering their hearts to each other, and from now on, there was no longer any barrier.
The next morning, the moment the sun rose, Li Xiuye opened his eyes.
He hugged the petite girl and said with satisfaction: "This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery here is endless. This house was built and renovated by us together. We can come here often in the future."
Qu Xiaonan smiled: "Then this will be our place of love from now on."
