After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais

After Lin Yishan left in a hurry, Gao Wenyan was the only two people left in the box.

She was worried and wanted to follow him to have a look, so she grabbed Chu Xu's wrist.

"What's going on between the two of them? What's the girl doing here?"

Gao Wenyan naturally knew, but she was worried that Lin Yishan would really leave instead of chasing Li Wanqing.

"I'm going to see if he's gone after Qingqing. If so, I'll come back."

Seeing Chu Xu's disapproving look, Gao Wenyan had no choice but to sit down again.

After calming down, she also felt that she was being troublesome.

Whether it was Gao Wenxi or Lin Yishan, Gao Wenyan saw that they were hesitant and wanted to speak for them.

She really wanted them to have a good outcome, so she didn't want to watch them miss out.

However, these are all their own affairs after all. Gao Wenyan did not get it in a hurry, nor should she.

She looked dejected, and Chu Xu couldn't help but get angry again.

"Do you still remember what the girl said in Zhihe City?"

After being stunned for a long time, Gao Wenyan remembered what he meant, which was that she no longer liked Lin Yishan.

She said strangely: "Of course I remember, but the Prime Minister asked why?"

If it weren't for the sachet girl, Gao Wenyan would have even thought he was jealous.

"nothing."

He turned his head and said, "I'm just curious."

Gao Wenyan choked on his words, and the strange feeling in his heart came again.

She took a sip of tea and accidentally put it down with a little force, which attracted Chu Xu's attention.

"Yes."

She thought of Li Wanqing and asked, "The Prime Minister and Qingqing are actually engaged?"

"Well, it doesn't count anymore."

Gao Wenyan understood: "Are you helping Qingqing? Are you deliberately trying to make Yishan feel bad?"

Chu Xu glanced at her and remained silent.

He and Li Wanqing's parents had a good relationship, and they had arranged a baby wedding for them early.

Later, Li Wanqing's father was promoted and his family moved to the capital, while Chu Xu's family fell into decline and his parents died early.

If it counts, Taifu Li would have appeared in the years since he had been homeless.

But no, never seen it once.

When we met again, he was already the Prime Minister of Chu, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Mrs. Li went to see him, burst into tears, and told him about his guilt over the years.

He said that he had never stopped looking for Chu Xu in so many years, and even asked him where he had been, so that he could be found easily.

Chu Xu said, right under your nose.

So Mr. Li immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

"You lied again."

Gao Wenyan laughed. Who was Longnan under his nose?

Chu Xu refused to comment, and at least Taifu Li did not answer the question, which confirmed his guilty conscience.

His eyes followed the light, flashing with unknown emotions.

Gao Wenyan thought that maybe Chu Xu had gone to see Taifu Li, maybe he had hit a wall, or maybe he had suffered other grievances, so he wouldn't say anything.

"Then why do you still have such a good relationship with Qingqing?"

Thinking of Li Wanqing's words "Axu" again, Gao Wenyan's eyes changed several times, and he finally suppressed his emotions.

Chu Xu said rationally: "What does it have to do with her?"

Li Wanqing was just a canary raised in the yard by Mrs. Li and carefully cared for and grew up.

She is well-educated, smart, and a role model for everyone, but she can never make any decisions for herself.

Including liking Lin Yishan.

How noble, elegant, and virtuous Li Wanqing is, how great Taifu Li's ambition is.

"Then why did you choose Prince Zhuang?"

If, as Chu Xu said, Taifu Li wanted to send Li Wanqing to the position of queen, then it should not be Prince Zhuang.

"Your Majesty Ankang, the prince has been waiting for a long time."

It's just a short sentence, but the meaning behind it is surprising.

Gao Wenyan looked outside warily and lowered his voice.

"The prince wants to rebel?"

"It depends on whether King Zhuang wants him to rebel."

The prince was incompetent, and the idea of ​​​​changing the emperor became more and more intense.

As long as there is more fire, it is not impossible for the prince to rebel.

The battle for the reserve position has always been bloody.

The ancestral motto of the Gao family has always been not to participate in the fight for the right to inherit the throne, so there is a lot less right and wrong.

What about Chu Xu?

Which camp is Chu Xu from?

He shook his head and said calmly: "I only want to be a fisherman."

Waiting for the two clams to fight, he will profit again.

But Gao Wenyan read something else: Chu Xu would participate in seizing the heir apparent.

Was it Prince Gong or Prince An who was being supported by him?

Gao Wenyan was still guessing, but Chu Xu saw through her thoughts.

"If it's Prince Zhuang, I think it's not bad."

One sentence disrupted all her thoughts.

"Then Qingqing is looking for you to help Prince Zhuang?"

He shook his head and asked, "Guess why she still hasn't married to the East Palace after so many years?"

Yes, after all, the East Palace is the safest route.

It is not an easy task to depose the prince, and the prince has been sitting in this position for so many years.

"Did you mess it up?"

Chu Xu laughed out loud and said, "The girl does underestimate me sometimes."

He said: "Qingqing set up a trap for himself, I only helped a little bit."

Chu Xu just pulled the strings and allowed her to meet the emperor's grandson "accidentally". It was Qingqing who made the emperor's grandson lose interest in him and found his beloved girl again.

"Then Mrs. Li is considered a conscientious person and did not let Qingqing marry His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Do you think the Crown Princess is a kind person?"

So it is better to marry the emperor's grandson, occupy the position of the royal concubine, and wait slowly.

Who would have thought that this wishful thinking was disrupted by Li Wanqing himself, so Li Taifu observed it for two years and chose to bet on King Zhuang.

"If Qing Qing is so unwilling to be arranged by her family, why not follow Lin Yishan to the border?"

When the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, it would be nice for the two of them to be a pair of carefree mandarin ducks on the border.

The sky is high enough for birds to fly, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and I feel at ease.

"Do you think Qingqing doesn't want to?"

Gao Wenyan nodded clearly. This was undoubtedly Lin Yishan's problem.

So Gao Wenyan didn't understand again. What else was Lin Yishan dissatisfied with?

Qingqing is devoted to him and is willing to leave everything for him.

Such courage would not have been possible if it were Gao Wenyan.

Chu Xu said, "Those who are willing to let go of everything will naturally be willing to do anything."

"But he really likes it, so he can't let it go."

If your love for her requires her to make a choice between everything she cherishes, it would be better to be the one who is given up.

She didn't understand the situation of Mrs. Li's family and subconsciously thought that Li Wanqing was unhappy at home.

Since Li Wanqing doesn't like his family either, isn't this a solution to both problems?

Chu Xu explained to her that Li Wanqing just didn't like her father using her as a tool for his official career, but she also grew up in the hands of Taifu Li.

Li Wanqing thought that as long as she and Lin Yishan were together, Mrs. Li would have nothing to do, and her father had always loved her and would one day forgive her willfulness.

But Lin Yishan didn't dare to bet, because no one knew when this day would be.

And before this day comes, Li Wanqing is burdened with more and more longing for his family, guilt for his father, and maybe even accumulated melancholy.

She clearly has a better choice, why bother following her and worrying day and night?
