Chapter 126 A Glass of Wine

Xiao Fengming was entangled by Shang Lingyu and those Canglong generals. Although he tried his best to go to the banquet of the sixth prince with Xiao Lingxiao, he was stopped by Xiao Lingxiao.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't even bring Bao Rong'er this time. He came to the sixth prince's house alone. When he got out of the carriage, he saw that the sixth prince had already stood in front of the door waiting. Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently and entered the house with him.

The invitation only said that the sixth prince invited Xiao Lingxiao to have a banquet. After coming, Xiao Lingxiao found that there were no other guests today, and the sixth prince only invited herself.

The two sat at a table in an inner room, and the atmosphere seemed extremely intimate.

The sixth prince poured a glass of wine for Xiao Lingxiao and said, "Miss Lingxiao, I take the liberty to invite you to come here today. I hope you don't blame me for being reckless."

Xiao Lingxiao shook his head with a shallow smile, "Your Highness specially found me here. There must be something important."

The sixth prince took a sip, put down his glass and said, "At present, the war between Wuqian Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom is getting worse and worse. Prime Minister Xiao is taking care of every opportunity. I asked to see him several times, but I finally can't see him. I also heard that recently, in your house, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are in good health. I think about it and think it's still inconvenient to talk..."

When the sixth prince said this, he looked up at Xiao Lingxiao. When he saw her listening quietly, his heart couldn't help but jump.

The sixth prince was also very clear about Chufulou. He thought that Xiao Lingxiao would go to Chufulou alone with the fourth prince. There must be something between the two. But when he was frustrated, he heard that the fourth prince seemed to be a different person. Finally, there was news that his body had collapsed. The sixth prince hurried to visit his house. At a glance, the sixth prince was also scared to death.

In the past, they used to be proud of the fourth princes, but now they don't look like ghosts. The royal doctor sent to him said that he was hit by some strange **, and he didn't know why the drug power lasted for so long, and it was so powerful. In short, his lower body was useless, and his whole body became crazy. I'm afraid it would be difficult to cure it anymore.

After the sixth prince came out of the fourth prince's mansion, he was so angry that he immediately began to prepare. After thinking about it for a long time, he deliberately found Xiao Lingxiao to the house.

In fact, if he wants to find Xiao Shuyong and others first, he will never have the obstacles he said. It's just that the sixth prince is very clear that Xiao Lingxiao is different from other daughters of other rich families. She is in her own decisions, especially her lifelong major events. Only with her consent can she be counted.

The sixth prince took another sip of wine and took a deep breath. It took him a long time to raise his head and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Ling Xiao, I want to go and beg my father to give me an order to marry you... Are you willing?"

Hearing the sixth prince say this, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help frowning.

But the sixth prince seemed to expect that Xiao Lingxiao would have concerns and hurriedly explained, "Ringxiao, I know that I was in a desperate situation at the beginning, and my status as a prince was precarious. But this evening is different from the past. Now the fourth brother has got the crazy strange disease, and the city is full of wind and rain. My father is very angry about this, and the fourth brother is over! Without the fourth brother, not only my father valued me again, but also the ministers in the court turned to support me. At the beginning, you were the only one who thought that I would finally get things done, but now, my father and ministers have seen my good, and I am no longer the prince!"

The more the sixth prince said, the more excited he became. He put down his wine glass and grabbed Xiao Lingxiao's hand. His eyes flashed with brilliance, and his voice also increased a little. "I promise you to be the position of concubine. In the future, you will be the mother of this country and the mother of the world!" I will definitely be crowned as a prince for the child you gave birth to, and I will never let him suffer from me again! Ling Xiao, marry me!"

Xiao Lingxiao frowned and looked at the man in front of him. He was really different from before.

When he saw Li Jingxuan at the beginning, he behaved elegantly and wisely. Although he was in danger, he did not lack that kind of righteousness. But now looking at him again, it is clear that he has been overwhelmed by dirty desires and has become a desperate person who pursues high positions.

Xiao Lingxiao once saw his current eyes in the eyes of the fourth prince. Xiao Lingxiao inevitably felt some heartache, which made the sixth prince like this. In addition to his father who could even give up his own son, perhaps Xiao Lingxiao himself also had some responsibility. She used Li Jingxuan more than once to make him have fighting spirit, but also made him fall deeper.

Xiao Lingxiao did not back her hand. She sighed, looked at Li Jingxuan, and whispered, "Your Highness, Lingxiao has a few heartfelt words today. Please listen to me patiently."

The sixth prince looked at Xiao Lingxiao's expression, and his heart turned over. He slowly let go of Xiao Lingxiao's hand and nodded gently.

"His Royal Highness is intelligent, but he doesn't understand people's hearts." Xiao Lingxiao's voice was like running water, gurgling, "The emperor's skills are all in the hearts of the people. The reason why the emperor treated the sixth highness like that at the beginning was not because the sixth highness had no ability, but that the emperor saw that the sixth highness could not be the emperor."

As soon as Li Jingxuan heard this, his eyes suddenly stared, but before he had a seizure, Xiao Lingxiao raised his hand and held his hand and suppressed his words.

I heard Xiao Lingxiao continue to say, "The emperor asked His Royal Highness to investigate and handle the case. His Royal Highness has done it cleanly and neatly again and again. Presumably, the emperor knows the ability of His Royal Highness. But such a ability is enough to be a good minister, but you can't be a good emperor. His Royal Highness is straightforward and does not know those cunning gimmies. He can't see through the emperor's thoughts, but also can't see the situation in the court. In this way, even if His Royal Highness really becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely have a hard time. If he is not careful, he is afraid that he will be the disaster of the country. Although the fourth prince is not as good as the sixth prince everywhere, he knows power and can buy people's hearts. However, if I guess correctly, the reason why the emperor has loved him for so many years is not to pass the throne to him, but to put him on the forefront of the storm to protect the real heir in the emperor's heart.

After listening to Xiao Lingxiao's first few words, the sixth prince still wanted to be angry, but after listening to her words, the sixth prince couldn't help opening his eyes and sighing secretly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingxiao, a woman, had more vision and insight than he thought.

Xiao Lingxiao doesn't care what the sixth prince thinks now. She knows very well that today's words, whether the sixth prince can hear it or not, she must say it to feel at ease.

"The fourth prince is a shield. Now the fourth prince has fallen. If the sixth highness takes a step forward, you will become a shield. In the future, the emperor will set up a crown prince, and the crown prince will definitely not tolerate the sixth highness. Now those ministers gathered around you, since they can abandon the fourth prince, they will naturally abandon you in the future, so those people are not worth believing. Xiao Lingxiao took Li Jingxuan's hand and sighed, "Six Highness, although the emperor's position is supreme, it is also extremely cold. Instead of competing for the power at that time, it's better to be a free prince and find someone to love each other for a lifetime.

Xiao Lingxiao's voice was backward, and the room was quiet for a long time. The two of them held their hands and looked at each other. Only the candlelight on the table swayed and their thoughts were continuous.

Suddenly, there was a long sigh. The sixth prince seemed to have unloaded some heavy object. Tears flashed in his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile, "Ling Xiao... Ling Xiao... Do you really think so? Are you saying this to help me? Is it to save me? Or do you look down on me, an incompetent prince?"

"Your Highness, I, Xiao Lingxiao, don't have the ability to help you save you, let alone look down on you. You used to help me save me. I just said it from the bottom of my heart today.

Xiao Lingxiao felt the slight trembling of the sixth prince's big hands. At this time, she suddenly understood why he became another person. It turned out that he was working hard. He was forcing himself to chase and reach the peak set by others.

A tear slipped from the corner of Li Jingxuan's eyes. He hurriedly let go of Xiao Lingxiao's hand and erased the tears.

"I thought I was the most lonely person in the world, but today you said this to me. Ling Xiao, you're right. I won't play tricks like the fourth brother, and I can't fight with courtiers all day long like my father. In fact, I have known for a long time that I can't be an emperor at all. You said that if I really get that position, there will be a disaster of national subjugation if I am not careful. This sentence is really an enlightenment. Think about it, it's really scary."

Li Jingxuan smiled bitterly and felt relieved. He forced himself to make up his mind to compete for the position, but in fact he was deeply afraid of the position. If you don't want to get it, you won't get it after all, and once you put down your obsession, it seems to open up another world for yourself.

It's just...

He looked at Xiao Lingxiao, and he was already clear in his heart.

Since Xiao Lingxiao can say this to him, it shows that she only regards herself as a friend and does not want to marry herself. Especially her last sentence of looking for someone who loves each other and accompanying him for a lifetime is to refuse him.

Before today, Li Jingxuan repeated the scene in front of him over and over again, imagining that Xiao Lingxiao would promise himself, refuse himself, happy again and again, sad, looking forward to and afraid, but it was not until today that he found that he might have been a man who could afford to let go. What about my husband?

This may also be because of Xiao Lingxiao's calmness.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the change of expression on Li Jingxuan's face and felt a little admiration in his heart. Although this sixth prince is not a material to be an emperor, as long as there is a wise king in the dynasty, he will be the mainstay of this Wuqi Kingdom in the future. He has a mind, courage, a belly, and wisdom. Such a man will definitely find a good fate that belongs to him.

Xiao Lingxiao raised the glass, and Li Jingxuan also raised the glass. The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a tacit understanding. They touched the glass and drank a glass of sake, as if they had washed everything.

After drinking this cup, Xiao Lingxiao told Li Jingxuan that she was going to leave Wuqi Kingdom. The cup in Li Jingxuan's hand fell down, and it took him a long time to recover.

"You... are you leaving?"

I thought I could afford to let it go, but this heart was still tightly touched by this woman.

Li Jingxuan came to his senses and couldn't help smiling bitterly. Then he looked up and whispered, "Lingxiao, you said that those fairy stones are probably in the hands of the royal families of various countries. I will take you to see the fifth brother tomorrow. He will definitely help a lot in this matter."
