Chapter 88 I am not Wei Zhiying, not the daughter of the Xiangfu, do you want to break off the engag
It was very late at night. King Chu Xinghai of Hunan stood in front of the window, looking at the endless darkness outside, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
After what happened during the day, he began to envy the third child, who had been alone and helpless since childhood, and now had someone protecting him at all costs.
Thinking of Wei Zhiying, Chu Xinghai's eyes flickered. After a while, he turned his head and glanced at his sleeping wife, the slender and weak Ye Yiyi, and sighed.
At the beginning, the emperor mentioned several daughters of rich families to him and asked him to choose one. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose Ye Yiyi. Because Ye Yiyi's father, Ye Hong, was the Minister of War at that time, he was in a high position and had great power. He thought that she would be of great help to him in the future. But what he didn't expect was that not long after he and Ye Yiyi got married, Ye Fan, who was in his prime, suffered from a serious illness and could no longer perform the duties of the Minister of War. This made him very depressed for a while.
Chu Xinghai closed his eyes. The fathers of several daughters that the emperor recommended to him at that time had the highest official position, Ye Fan, the Minister of War. If Wei Zhiying was available at that time, he would definitely not choose Ye Yiyi. Wei Zhiying was the daughter of the left prime minister, and the prime minister's mansion and the general's mansion had always been on good terms, and now they were even married. From anyone's point of view, this was the best choice, but Chu Xinghai did not have this blessing.
Huai Wang Chu Xingchen had long said that although he had read a lot of books, he had no interest in governing the country. This was also the reason why the emperor had not appointed a crown prince. The eldest prince had no intention of becoming the crown prince, so he could only choose from the remaining princes. Chu Xinghai slowly opened his eyes. With his ability, he was confident that he was much better than the other princes in terms of both literature and martial arts. He was determined to get the crown prince position!
On the morning of the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, Xia Taoyuan sat on the bedside in a daze after getting up. She was a little uneasy about going to Yunzhou to see the real Wei Zhiying tomorrow. It was not because of Wei Zhiying that she was uneasy, but because she had to explain her true identity to Chu Xingluo after she came back. Although she knew that Chu Xingluo would not do anything to her after knowing the truth, she was afraid that Chu Xingluo would part ways with her and never see her again.
It was not until Yu'er brought her some water to wash that Xia Taoyuan came back to her senses. After washing, she ate a few mouthfuls of rice and packed some clothes. Then she went to sit in Madam Wei's room, chatted with her, and had lunch with her before returning to Yingyuan.
After waking up from her lunch break, Chu Xingluo's handsome face came into Xia Taoyuan's sight. She smiled and said, "When did you come?"
"I've just been here for a while." Chu Xingluo smiled slightly, "I'll take you out for a walk later."
Xia Taoyuan hurriedly got up, packed up, and followed Chu Xingluo out the door.
Instead of going to the palace or Taotao Garden, Chu Xingluo brought her to a teahouse. In the afternoon, and with the hot weather, the teahouse was very quiet, with no customers upstairs or downstairs. The waiter saw the two of them coming in and hurried forward to greet them. Chu Xingluo ordered some tea and snacks, then took Xia Taoyuan up to the second floor and found a seat by the window.
"The tea here is very good, with a fresh and mellow fragrance and a long aftertaste." Chu Xingluo said lightly.
Xia Taoyuan looked at him and suddenly remembered the first time she met him, which was in the guest house. Thinking of the scene on that day, she couldn't help but smile. After the waiter went downstairs, Chu Xingluo poured tea for Xia Taoyuan and said, "You said you had something to tell me when you came back from Yunzhou..."
Xia Taoyuan had just taken a sip of tea and almost spit it out when she heard this. She quickly put down the teacup. At this moment, she felt her heart beating faster. She was not ready yet. She didn't dare to look at Chu Xingluo and lowered her head guiltily.
"Did you choke?" Chu Xingluo stood up and went forward to check with concern.
"No, I'm fine." Xia Taoyuan said in a low voice.
Chu Xingluo sat back in his seat, but Xia Taoyuan still didn't dare to look up. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind. After thinking it over again and again, she finally decided to say it now, as she would have to say it sooner or later anyway.
Xia Taoyuan looked around and stood up to look downstairs. At this moment, there was no one on the street downstairs, so she said, "Lolo." She was afraid that only she could hear the voice.
Chu Xingluo couldn't help but laugh. He actually guessed that she wanted to tell him her true origins, so he said softly, "What's wrong?"
Xia Taoyuan lowered her head, twisting the belt around her waist with both hands. It was the first time Chu Xingluo saw her so helpless. He couldn't bear it and said softly, "How about I help you speak?"
Xia Taoyuan nodded, then was startled, looked up at Chu Xingluo, and stammered: "Tell me, you, you, what can you say for me?"
Chu Xingluo held back his laughter, handed the teacup to Xia Taoyuan, and said, "Have a sip of tea first."
Xia Taoyuan took the tea, but still didn't dare to look at Chu Xingluo, but she couldn't figure out the meaning of Chu Xingluo's words.
"I know you are not Wei Zhiying." As soon as the words came out, there was a snap and the teacup in Xia Taoyuan's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. She stood up and looked at Chu Xingluo in panic.
"You, how do you know?" Xia Taoyuan's voice trembled and his body shook with nervousness.
Chu Xingluo went forward and hugged her, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, Taotao, it's okay, everything you worry about will not happen." He knew her worries, he had known all along, and he had guessed that she hesitated to speak several times. The reason why he wanted to make it clear before she went to Yunzhou was that he didn't want her to be always worried, he wanted her to be at ease.
Xia Taoyuan leaned on Chu Xingluo's chest, listening to him talk about how she secretly went to the Xiangfu under Qingyun Longyan's instigation after the emperor arranged the marriage, and discovered Wei Zhiying's secret, and then Wei Zhiying left home overnight. Xia Taoyuan sobbed, then raised her tearful eyes and asked, "I'm not Wei Zhiying, not the daughter of the Xiangfu, do you want to break off the engagement?"
Chu Xingluo gently wiped the tears from her face and said softly: "No matter who you are or where you come from, you are my Taotao and you will be my Chu Xingluo's wife."
Xia Taoyuan cried even louder. Chu Xingluo comforted her for a long time before she stopped crying. She sobbed, "You are the only one I have in this world. Will you still be the same as before?" After saying that, she looked up at Chu Xingluo eagerly.
Seeing Xia Taoyuan's pitiful appearance, Chu Xingluo touched her hair distressedly and said affectionately: "My love for you will never change, for all eternity."
Xia Taoyuan was touched and hugged Chu Xingluo's waist tightly. She felt like she was dreaming. What she was worried about did not happen. She did not lose Chu Xingluo. What made her even happier was that Chu Xingluo fell in love with her and was deeply in love with her even though he knew that she was not the daughter of the prime minister and that she had an unknown background.
Then Xia Taoyuan told Chu Xingluo in detail how she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Looking at Chu Xingluo's incredible expression, she murmured, "I also find it incredible, but it really happened. I often wonder what kind of opportunity made me meet you when time and space reversed."
Chu Xingluo looked at Xia Taoyuan, and he also felt it was magical that he could meet and know the woman thousands of years later. The two must have a deep fate. They could meet and know each other through thousands of years, and their fates were intertwined. How deep was this fateful entanglement?
"Have you ever thought about going back?" Chu Xingluo asked hesitantly. He was afraid that she would leave.
"Unless you come with me, you can't drive me away." Xia Taoyuan looked at Chu Xingluo.
Chu Xingluo smiled and was about to kiss Xia Taoyuan when he heard the waiter downstairs greeting the guests. They stood up and saw that it was getting late, so they went downstairs and returned home.
