Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Love is not accidental

As expected of the original male protagonist...

Ever since she drew the knife on He Songning, did this person dare to think about this?

Xue Qingyin let out a breath, feeling particularly calm.

At most, He Songning guessed that the original "Xue Qingyin" died and was replaced by her.

It would have been impossible to guess that she was wearing a book.

"The letters I sent back were all ghostwritten by you. I think he must have been particularly disappointed the moment he saw the letter."

"But the letter you wrote to the emperor was written by you yourself." King Xuan reminded her.

Xue Qingyin nodded: "Yes, just write to the emperor and ask him, and he will tell me whether He Songning also asked him for a letter to read."

"No need to ask." King Xuan said calmly, "With his temperament, he will definitely do this. When the emperor writes next time, he will probably mention this to you in his letter. As long as he dares to do it, the emperor will be suspicious , once he becomes suspicious, he will come to test you personally."

Xue Qingyin thought for a moment: "That's right. It saves me some energy."

King Xuan lowered his eyes calmly, pinched the letter paper with his fingers, and burned it clean for her.

Xue Qingyin sighed carefully in her heart, took a look at his face, and asked in a low voice: "If you don't ask me, why did He Songning compare my handwriting?"

King Xuan met her gaze and said, "I know."

"You know?" Xue Qingyin's voice changed slightly, "But...how did you know? When did you know?"

"Yin Yin." He whispered her name first, and then continued: "I have been fighting abroad all year round and rarely come back to Beijing. The emperor wanted to choose a wife for me, and just at this time, you appeared in front of me. In front of you."

Xue Qingyin flattened her mouth: "Oh, it was reasonable for you to doubt me at that time..."

King Xuan interrupted: "It's not suspicion. It's just..."

"It doesn't matter, just say it, I'm not a small-minded person."

"Those who enter Prince Xuan's Mansion must go through screening. I found that you are very different from the 'Xue Qingyin' reported here."

"Screening?" Xue Qingyin noticed this word, "Then I happened to be selected, right?"

"It's not just right." King Xuan corrected her in a deep voice, "It's destined that only you will be selected."

"Why?" Xue Qingyin asked puzzledly.

How does he screen?

There are so many noble ladies in the capital, why is she the only one destined to be selected?

She didn't believe that there were just one or two people who were from a similar family background to hers and met the requirements of Prince Xuan's Palace objectively.

King Xuan pursed his lower lip: "Are you thirsty?"

Xue Qingyin: "I'm not thirsty." She grabbed his sleeve, held down his arm and prevented him from moving, and said fiercely: "Hurry up and confess first. After you finish speaking..." She hesitated and said : "I also have something to say to you."

King Xuan then said: "Your parents don't get along, your maternal family is a merchant, and you have great conflicts with your brother. You have no friends. Avoid contact with relatives."

"Whether it's Lu Shuyi or Qiao Xinyu...the more powerful their natal family is, the more different voices there will be in the family. Everyone will plan for their own future, and in the end they will become a burden to you. You don't want to be hurt by anything. People stumble, right?" Xue Qingyin asked.

King Xuan responded: "Yes."

Xue Qingyin said to herself: "The Xue family is different. Sandwiched between princes, nobles and powerful ministers, the position of Minister of Household Affairs is not high, but it is not low either. After all, if it is too low, the emperor will not Agree. Not to mention that you also found that there is a big conflict between the Xue family and me. So I will use your power to threaten the Xue family, and you will let me do it.

She looked at him doubtfully: "But...is this considered the only one?"

"In the home of Wang Peng, the minister of Zhongshu, there was a concubine who killed his wife and forced his first wife to death. Have you ever heard of it?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head.

Maybe the original person has heard of it?

King Xuan said: "This is because the matter was covered up. Wang Peng's original wife's surname was Yang. Her natal family soon found out that Yang was forced to die."

Xue Qingyin's face changed slightly: "Even so, no news has leaked out. It can only be that her natal family and the Wang family have reached an agreement and jointly concealed the news. Does the original wife Yang have children?"

"Yes." King Xuan nodded.

Xue Qingyin felt inexplicably disgusted: "Her children also knew about it? Did they also acquiesce in this matter being covered up?"

"Yes." King Xuan responded, and then continued: "Yu Shi, the wife of Qu Chen, the Minister of Punishment, suddenly fell ill and died. In fact, she was fed too many medicines and died after having sex with someone. And Yu Shi's lover It was her father-in-law who had been persecuting her for several years, and her husband had never helped her, and her children had never helped her. "

Xue Qingyin was so disgusted that she had nothing to say.

"This is the scary thing about wealthy families. Why are they silent? For the sake of their future and their family.

“In order to marry a good husband, a daughter must endure her father’s exploitation of her mother so that she can leverage her father’s influence and marry into a high-ranking family in the future.

"In order for the son to successfully enter the official career, the government and the government often talk about classmates and colleagues from the same hometown, so he has to turn a blind eye to his mother's hardships so that he can rely on his father's classmates and colleagues from the same hometown.

"They are no longer the children of the Yang family and the Yu family. They have been pushed forward by the torrent of ethics and secularity, and have become empty shells that bear the family's reliance and expectations. For the sake of the family and personal interests, they can give up their lives. But all the people and things I can’t let go of.”

"Prince Xuan's Mansion does not need another body."

King Xuan spoke calmly.

Xue Qingyin immediately thought of Lu Shuyi.

Did Lu Shuyi chase him to Xingzhou because she really had no sense of shame? Did she really have to be with King Xuan?

Or... under the heavy pressure of the family, she had no choice but to go all the way?

If this is the most important screening criterion.

"What about Qiao Xinyu? You have also seen her. She is different from them. Her parents are loving, and she is also strong-willed. Even if she is in the Prince of Wei's mansion, she will never become a body carrying the will of others... Then why..." Not her?

Xue Qingyin did not finish her words.

King Xuan said: "Yinyin, the most important thing is... I have to like you."

Xue Qingyin was speechless.

She licked her lips and stammered: "Then, then you... Could it be that you fell in love with my beauty? Then aren't you very superficial?"

King Xuan raised his hand, took the teacup, picked up the pot and poured it.

The tea poured in.

Just a thin layer.

"I knew you were different from the first time we met. We'll see each other again at Princess Jinque's mansion." He pointed to the water in the teacup, "Only a little at that time."

"Only a little like?" Xue Qingyin raised her eyebrows.

But she actually knew that it was rare for someone like King Xuan to like you a little after just a few meetings. It was terrifying to be like King Wei, who was really just greedy for beauty.

King Xuan did not answer her words, he continued: "Riding together in the horse farm is a test. Before this, I couldn't accept how close someone was to me. It was a test for myself and for you. I know that staying by my side is very stressful. Even if the noble lady who said she admired me all the time, she would not dare to raise her head easily in front of me. If it lasted a while, she would be trembling with fear."

Xue Qingyin was amazed.

This man took her to the palace banquet and pointed out to the emperor his intention to marry her. It was really not a decision made on a whim.

Most marriages in this dynasty were blind and dumb, who would try these things?

Only he would.

King Xuan picked up the teapot and poured some more.

Does this mean that he liked her more after the horse race?

Xue Qingyin blushed for no reason.

To show love so directly... This is what such a cold man did.

"I came to see you after the palace banquet, and I told you about the concubine. You agreed."

Was that also a test of me? Xue Qingyin thought.

King Xuan was silent for a while, staring into her eyes and said: "At that time, I was thinking, how much Yinyin should like me to be able to bear it."

Xue Qingyin felt guilty.

At that time, I mainly thought that you would die early anyway, so I borrowed you to hide from the rain and make some money. What's more, you are good-looking, have a good figure, are clean and self-disciplined, and have a lot of male virtues. There are no beautiful women around you, and you don't seem to be interested in beauty.

She opened her mouth, wanting to confess.

But the king deliberately looked away, as if he didn't see her expression, and then poured some tea into the cup.

"I thought, I should protect you in my palm and not let you feel sad and wronged."

He said without stopping.

The tea filled the cup all the way and overflowed onto the table.

Being interrupted by the king, Xue Qingyin swallowed her confession for the time being. But she couldn't help but say: "Your Highness is an upright person. After the palace banquet, he mentioned the matter of the concubine to me to make it clear about the pros and cons of entering the Xuanwang Mansion and let me choose. If someone else married into the Xuanwang Mansion, you should also treat her well, right? You are so good... Maybe that person will also fall in love with you and give up his family for you."

"No ifs." The king denied, "Yinyin, it will only be you. If it weren't for you, I would be alone."

Xue Qingyin's heart seemed to be hit hard.

Because in the original work... isn't he like this? Alone.

"Where are you from?" The king suddenly asked.

Xue Qingyin's heart skipped a beat.

Here it comes.

This is the most important question today.

"What should your original world look like, so that you can grow such a vivid and moving soul that is completely different from this old and decaying world." He said.
