"Have you guessed who I am?"
Xue Li calmly looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of him. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Lin Siyao stared at the man in front of him who was said to be the King of Blood Hades for a long time before nodding. "Isn't that the King of Blood Hades?!" It was the man he had met once at the wine shop in Moonflower Town.
Two days ago, when he had visited the palace, he had flipped out in front of Emperor Dahui.
It was all him — the King of Blood Hades, Xue Li.
"Not just that."
Xue Li shook his head lightly and looked at Lin Siyao. He slowly spoke of an extremely bizarre matter. "Twenty-four years ago, on a rainy summer night, This King's child, who was not yet one year old, mysteriously disappeared in the cradle of Blood Hades Palace. What replaced him was actually a pitch-black raccoon cat … Ha … The next day, there was a rumor in and out of Blood Hades that the Crown Prince of Blood Hades was actually a raccoon cat.
This King did not believe in the magic of liches and used all methods to find the missing child.
This search … has been going on for twenty-four years. "
At this point, Xue Li looked at Lin Siyao and asked with a smile, "Have you guessed what This King is going to say next?"
"No matter what it is, I'm not interested."
Lin Siyao suddenly turned around and threw out a cold sentence with his back to Xue Li. Then, he took a few steps out of the side hall that Li Wenxiu had specially left open for them to talk privately.
"Running away won't solve anything …" Xue Li did not stop him from leaving. He only threw out a sentence that made Lin Siyao's body stiffen slightly.
"What?
You don't want to acknowledge me?
Tsk … I told you earlier … "The Great Benevolent Emperor, Li Wenxiu, had appeared from a corner of the side hall at some point in time. He looked at the entrance of the side hall that Xue Li was staring at and shook his head.
"Shut up!" Xue Li snapped out of his daze, glanced at Li Wenxiu, and shouted at him to stop him from speaking.
He lifted his feet and walked towards the entrance of the side hall.
"Sigh … when do you plan to leave this emperor's palace?
You can't keep living here just because he doesn't want to acknowledge you.
This is the Dahui Imperial Palace. Every day, my concubines … "
"Don't worry, we'll leave today.
Do you think This King really wants to stay here? "If he didn't know that the man was going to enter the palace on the eighth day of the New Year, he wouldn't have bothered to stay here and wait.
He was used to having only his beloved wife by his side. When he looked at Li Wenxiu, who had a different wife every day and could live a leisurely private life for a month, it was really unpleasant to look at.
There were even a few headless concubines who didn't fear death. When they saw him alone in the back garden, they actually dared to take the initiative to approach him, as if they had never been pampered by a man in their lives.
He wasn't afraid of his wife being jealous, but he was afraid that he would lose control and let their blood dye the Dahui Imperial Palace red. He would lose Li Wenxiu's face.
"That's good!
By the way, I'll give you a piece of news. I heard that he's leaving the imperial capital today. "Li Wenxiu raised his voice to Xue Li, who was walking out of the side hall without stopping.
Oh, if that indifferent young man with outstanding martial arts was really his son, then it would be a good thing for Dahui!
After all, the woman who gave birth to that young man's adorable twins was the legitimate daughter of Dahui's Prince Jing Palace.
In this way, the Blood Hades and Dahui could be considered in-laws.
Let's see what Xue Li can use to threaten Dahui!
The people of Dahui's northern border wouldn't have to worry about the fierce people of the Blood Hades invading their peaceful lives.
Tsk … Why didn't I consider using this move in the beginning?
Marrying his daughter to a few neighboring countries to be the crown prince's concubines, or even the king's concubines … In this way, would Dahui still have to worry about the neighboring countries invading?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a foolproof plan. Emperor Dahui, Li Wenxiu, walked towards the imperial study while thinking. He decided to first see which neighboring country had ulterior motives towards Dahui, and which daughter to marry …
…
"Have you really decided to leave today?" Liang Xuanjing frowned and asked unhappily.
In any case, he was his father-in-law. If he wanted to leave, he didn't even discuss it in advance. He just left like that!
"Yesterday, I told … Enzai." Lin Siyao paused. He really couldn't bring himself to call Liang Enzai elder brother.
He was older than the other party by a full seven years.
"Hmph, such an important matter, and you didn't tell me!" Liang Xuanjing would never admit that he was jealous.
To think that he kept calling him "good son-in-law", but the other party didn't even tell him when they were leaving.
Did he even have him in his eyes?!
"Father-in-law, is there anything else you need me to do?" Lin Siyao looked at Liang Xuanjing in confusion.
He had come to the imperial capital this time to meet the Emperor.
If Liang Enzai hadn't made the matter so serious in the letter, he wouldn't have dragged his family along.
Shuiche and the twins couldn't bear the long journey.
"Eh?
Can't I let you stay for a few more days?
In any case, Xu 'er is my daughter. Does a daughter need a reason to stay with her parents for a few more days? "Liang Xuanjing blew his beard and glared.
"En.
It's good that you're fine. "Lin Siyao got the answer he wanted and nodded. He directly ignored Liang Xuanjing's series of complaints.
"Father —" Su Shuiche, who was helping to pack the bags in the twins' bedroom, heard Liang Xuanjing's series of complaints as soon as she entered the door. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry and went forward to take his arm. She slowly walked to the side of the table and helped him sit down. She poured him a cup of fragrant tea and said softly, "Father, Ah Yao and I can stay here for a few more days, but there will always be a day when we have to leave … Besides, although the family has Chun Lan to take care of things, there will always be things that we need to go back to take care of … You and Mother … if you have time, you can also come to Flower Town to see us."
"You have no conscience. Your mother and I are already so old. How can we withstand the constant torment of going back and forth!"
Liang Xuanjing glared at Su Shuiche. He originally wanted to take advantage of the time they were staying here to buy a residence nearby and simply persuade them to settle down in the imperial capital.
Unexpectedly, he hadn't even started to look for a residence when they said they wanted to go back.
Tsk … Girls are always extroverted. That's right!
"Father!
I didn't ask you to go to Flower Town all the time. Every year, find a free time to go there and live for a while to change your mood.
Mother also said that the air there is much fresher than in the imperial capital. "Indeed, she was powerless to deal with a group of concubines who appeared to be polite and amiable on the surface.
She also didn't want to tell Liang Xuanjing and his wife. After all, this wasn't the place where she and Ah Yao would live for a long time. Since they were going to leave, she didn't want to complicate things and make them unhappy.
"Humph!
Your mother will naturally side with you. "Liang Xuanjing lightly snorted.
"Alright, Father. When Xiao 'er and Long' er grow up, we'll bring them to the imperial capital for a tour. At that time, it'll be fine as long as you don't find them annoying." Su Shuiche comfortingly patted Liang Xuanjing's arm.
"Who dares to dislike them!" Liang Xuanjing glared and said in a hoarse voice.
"It's getting late. Let's set off." Lin Siyao packed up his personal belongings and wrapped a cloth bag as he reminded Su Shuiche.
Oh right, Xiyue was still waiting for her near the city gates.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, your daughter will take her leave.
Take care! "Su Shuiche smiled at her parents and brothers who were sending her off.
There were already four carriages waiting for them at the entrance of the Prince Jing Palace.
In addition to the two carriages they came with, there was one more carriage for goods and one more carriage for Long Xiyue and Qing Lan to settle down.
Of course, Su Shuiche only said that she wanted to have more carriages so that everyone would have more time to sit.
Feng Caiyun tightly held Su Shuiche's hand, unwilling to let go.
From the main courtyard all the way to the entrance, she still didn't show any signs of stopping.
"Xu 'er, if there's anything, just write a letter. If there aren't enough servants, Mother will let Chief Steward Liang arrange it.
Don't wrong yourself. "
"Mother, don't worry. Your daughter knows." There was no reason to refuse a mother's care. Su Shuiche obediently listened and nodded.
"Alright, since you're leaving, then leave the city early.
So that you don't miss the lodging. "
Liang Xuanjing pretended to be impatient as he interrupted the mother and daughter's chattering farewell ceremony. He waved his hand at Lin Siyao and urged him.
Everyone boarded the carriages one by one. As they gradually went farther and farther away, Liang Enzai also turned around and returned to the mansion to pack up.
"Enzai, what are you doing?"
Liang Xuanjing originally wanted to find his son to discuss the matter of Xue Li, the King of Blood Hades, finding his son-in-law for a secret meeting. However, he saw that Liang Enzai was packing.
"I'm preparing to go out.
Father, is something the matter? "Liang Enzai didn't intend to say it clearly.
In the past, he had gone out many times, so Liang Xuanjing didn't continue to ask him what he was going to do.
He only pulled him to ask about Xue Li's intentions.
"Didn't Brother-in-law say that it's nothing?"
Even though Liang Enzai was curious as to why Xue Li was looking for Lin Siyao, but when Lin Siyao returned to the mansion, he replied with a "nothing" that couldn't be any more normal. Thus, he believed that it was indeed nothing.
Furthermore, according to the Emperor, the matter of the twelve blood horsemen was no longer pursued by the Blood Hades.
"Sigh, I hope it's nothing.
I still feel that there's something fishy about this matter. "
Liang Xuanjing sighed softly. He sat down at the table in Liang Enzai's bedroom, as if he was going to have a long chat with his son.
"Father — —" Liang Enzai helplessly reminded his father, "I'm going out." This meant that he could return to his own courtyard.
"Oh, you go."
Liang Xuanjing waved his hand. His thoughts were still on the matter of Xue Li and Lin Siyao entering the side hall to have a secret talk. He completely didn't realize that he was in his son's room.
In the end, he gave his son a strange look, "Do you need me to send you out?"
"No need!"
Liang Enzai powerlessly held his forehead. He carried his bag and sat down across from his father, "Father, what are you worried about?"
"Didn't you hear the Emperor say that we have a big wedding in the near future?"
Liang Xuanjing glanced at his son, "Before, I thought that you were going to get married, but … …" He paused and used the corner of his eyes to look at the plain clothes, "This possibility is almost zero.
So I can't figure out why the Emperor would give that hint. "
"The Emperor has always liked to beat around the bush. It's not like it's a day or two ago. You should get used to it, Father." Liang Enzai turned his head to look at the gradually westward sun and sighed inwardly.
If he delayed any longer, it was still a question whether he could make it to the Blood Hades in time today.
Liang Xuanjing suddenly changed the topic. He stared at the bag in Liang Enzai's hand and asked, "What are you going out to do this time?"
"Chase …" Liang Enzai slammed on the brakes and swallowed the word "wife" before he could say it out loud.
That was close!
He secretly patted his chest.
He didn't dare to openly admit that he was going to the Blood Hades to chase his wife before he was sure that the girl didn't have any feelings for him.
If he didn't succeed, wouldn't he lose all of Liang Enzai's face?
"No matter what you're chasing, remember to come back safely!"
Liang Xuanjing didn't want to make things difficult for him. He got up and walked towards the main courtyard, "Say hello to Doctor Ouyang for me on the way!"
Liang Enzai, who was just about to leave, almost slipped and fell to the ground when he heard this!
When did his father know that he was going to the Blood Hades?
