Chapter 280 I have a fate with you
Xiangying turned to look at the eldest palace maid, who immediately took a step back with a guilty conscience.
"I haven't had time to tell the princess this great news yet."
"A happy event? Do you want to give it to you?" After Xiangying finished speaking, the eldest maid waved her hands quickly, even saying she didn't dare.
She looked at Lu Beiyi again: "Should you tell the queen, or should I go find her in person? If she doesn't give up this idea, either she will die or you will die."
Xiangying was thin but not weak. She stood tall and clear in the cold wind, her cheeks were blown pink, but her expression was full of stubbornness and she didn't give in at all.
She was the only one in the palace who dared to say such bold words.
Lu Peiyi walked down the steps: "Xiangying, don't worry, there are some things I need to tell you alone."
Xiangying stared at him: "I don't want to listen to that nonsense. Getting married is impossible. You are not worthy of me."
That last sentence made Lu Beiyi's face pause, and a look of helplessness flashed across his deep eyes.
"Then, just listen to me for now. If you think what I say is wrong, just turn around and leave, okay?"
Xiangying looked at him up and down, nodded, and agreed.
She turned around and followed Lu Peiyi into the palace. The door was closed and Lu Peiyi took the initiative to sit on the low couch under the window.
Xiangying glanced at him sideways: "Tell me, I'm in a bad mood right now and I don't want to sit down and have a good talk with you."
Lu Paiyi smiled.
"Okay, then if you don't feel tired, just stand and listen."
Lu Peiyi's voice was slightly lowered: "Xiangying, since you are unwilling to succumb to South Vietnam, how about joining forces with me?"
Xiangying raised her eyebrows: "How to join forces?"
Lu Beiyi held his head with one hand, his eyes were warm, but his tone was decisive.
"To tell you the truth, South Vietnam has just ended its war with the Western Zhou Dynasty and is still very weak. Now it is facing the important matter of the theft of the warehouse, and the government and the public are in chaos."
"I have decided to take advantage of his illness to kill him. The army of Northern Qi has been mobilized, and they will be at the city gates soon."
"You pretended to marry me and let the Western Zhou generals who were attacking on the road delay. When my Northern Qi tiger and wolf army arrives, South Vietnam will instantly become yours and mine."
Xiangying looked at him, folded her arms and leaned against the pillar in the hall, and suddenly smiled.
Lu Piyi looked at her quietly: "You don't agree with my idea?"
"I think you're ridiculous. Do you think I'm a fool? Do I delay the Western Zhou army so that you can wait for your Northern Qi people to come and catch them all in one fell swoop?"
Lu Beiyi said calmly: "As long as I am here, I will not let people from Northern Qi hurt you. I will honor everything I promise you now, and you have no choice but to believe in me."
Xiangying sneered in a low voice.
Suddenly, she pulled out a long sword from her sleeve and pointed it directly at Lu Beiyi's neck.
Lu Peiyi did not hide away, he saw the cold murderous intent in Xiangying's eyes.
"First of all, I don't believe in any promises. Words spoken by people are too easy and have no effect;"
"Secondly, of course I have other options. I can kill everyone here and then leave."
Lu Peiyi knew her strength.
He chuckled helplessly: "I know you can do it. At that banquet, you injured the emperor and four veterans were killed on the spot. I know you can do anything."
"But Xiangying, this world is not as simple as you think. You don't care about other people's lives. You always care about the three children who follow you, right?"
Xiangying was startled and frowned: "What do you mean? You want to threaten me with your child?"
Lu Beiyi shook his head and took out a box from the shelf next to him.
"See for yourself." After Xiangying opened it, he saw two bamboo tubes in the box.
She recognized this thing. On the way to exile, she cut a bamboo tube into a water cup and hung it around the necks of the children.
At this moment, these bamboo tubes were stained with dark red blood.
Xiangying took a deep breath: "What on earth do you want to say!"
Lu Peiyi looked at her: "I want to say that you have no other choice but to believe me. I know that you have a close relationship with Jie Chen, but do you know that your three children were killed by him as soon as they left the palace?" People caught it.”
"Jie Chen will definitely explain to you that he escorted the children away, right? In fact, the emperor of South Vietnam asked him to kill three children."
"Because seeds cannot be left in the Western Zhou Dynasty, such a small bloodline needs to be wiped out. If you don't believe it, I can take you out of the palace tonight to see where Jie Chen has hidden your three children."
< br>
"As for your brother... he is missing without a trace. Xiangying, do you still feel that you have a way out now? These people are all for their own interests. I am the only one who doesn't want the jade seal or your reward. As long as you follow me Me.”
He didn't know when he got close to Xiangying.
Her eyes were shining with disbelief, as if she was defending Jie Chen repeatedly in her heart.
Lu Peiyi raised his hand, gently held her palm, and wanted to take the sword away.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Xiangying, believe me, after we annex South Vietnam, the whole world will be ours."
Swish——!
There was a cracking sound, and the sword in Xiangying's hand cut his hair crown neatly.
Lu Beiyi's long hair fell down, he turned slightly sideways, his eyes were cold.
Just now, Xiangying actually swung his sword directly. If he hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid the sword would have cut off his head!
Xiangying pointed his sword pointedly, his eyes filled with dark coldness.
"I don't want to listen to your side of the story. Take me to see where the three children are tonight, and we'll tell you the rest later."
Lu Peiyi watched her put away her sword and remained silent for a moment.
He asked: "Then do you want to go back to the cell now?"
Xiangying hid the sword back in her sleeve and looked at him coldly: "I live here, but you move out."
Lu Peiyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay."
He turned and walked to the door, really looking like he wanted to give up the entire palace to Xiang Ying.
"Wait." Xiangying suddenly called him.
Lu Peiyi turned around and heard Xiang Ying ask: "You just said that you are here with me and don't ask for anything, so why do you have to marry me? There are so many prisoners in the Western Zhou Dynasty, why did you choose me?"
There were no lights in the hall, and the light was slightly slanted. Lu Beiyi stood with his back to the light, unable to see his eyes clearly.
But Xiangying saw the smile on his lips.
"Maybe it's because of fate."
"I don't believe it."
Lu Bandit looked at her steadily: "Don't believe it, maybe we have known each other for a long, long time. In such troubled times, I am willing to protect you just like I protect myself."
After saying that, he asked Xiangying to have a good rest and turned around and went out.
Xiangying was full of suspicion at first, but it seemed that Lu Peiyi was serious.
He didn't send anyone to guard her. If she didn't like being served by palace maids, there wouldn't be any palace attendants in the entire palace.
Xiangying was confused and didn't know what he was planning.
Lu Peiyi tidied up his affairs and moved to the side hall to live.
Soon, at night, he came to pick Xiang Ying out of the palace as promised.
