In the early morning of the next day, Marquis of Xun'an, Tang Yao, took leave of absence and did not go to court. He waited for Tang Ling and Qi Xiao in the dining room.

Two pairs of bowls and chopsticks were placed on the left and right sides of Tang Yao, which was exactly the same as the scene last night.

There is a large bowl of porridge on the table, steamed cakes and a few side dishes, simple and simple.

Qi Xiao no longer tied his hands and feet like he did last night, but graciously served Tang Yu and Tang Ling with porridge. Tang Qiao watched Qi Xiao stay silent, and took a bite with his chopsticks after he sat down.

Seeing Tang Yan move his chopsticks, Qi Xiao stood up again and added side dishes to Tang Ling's bowl, and took another piece of steamed cake, and he didn't stop until there was no room for him in the bowl.

Tang Ling glared at Qi Xiao, and said in a low voice, "Too many."

Qi Xiao lowered his voice, and whispered back: "You didn't eat much last night, you must be very hungry."

Tang Qiao looked at the two of them and took a heavy breath. Is this a show for him?Or could the two of them be closer if he wasn't there?

Tang Ling glanced at Tang Yao cautiously, then silently lowered her head to eat, and simply stopped talking to Qi Xiao.

The meal was still tasteless, until Tang Qiao put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth, and cleaned his hands. He looked at Tang Ling who was about to speak, but was snatched by Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao got up and asked respectfully: "I wonder if Lord Hou is free today, can you chat with me?"

Tang Qiao looked at Qi Xiao, stood up and said, "I'm free right now, please come to His Royal Highness's study."

"Hou Ye can just call me Qi Xiao, I'm not a prince anymore."

Tang Qiao didn't seem to be surprised when he heard this, his face remained motionless, and he made a gesture of invitation to Qi Xiao.

"Master Hou please first."

Tang Qiao stopped being polite and walked towards the study.

Just like yesterday, Qi Xiao and Tang Ling followed behind.

Tang Ling whispered to Qi Xiao: "No matter what my father says for a while, you have to calm down and don't annoy him."

Qi Xiao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, how dare I make my father-in-law angry?"

Tang Ling glared at him: "Especially don't play tricks in front of my father, put away all the glib things!"

"understood."

"..." Tang Ling stared at Qi Xiao, held back for a while and didn't say anything more. He knew that Qi Xiao was not a ignorant person, and most of his misbehavior was against himself, and he was very measured at other times, but Tang Ling Just uneasy, the person Qi Xiao is going to face is his father, and his father's temper...maybe he will directly beat him up.

The study room was not far away, and it was within walking distance. Tang Qiao "invited" Qi Xiao in, and before closing the door, he glanced at Tang Ling who was standing at the door. The meaning was unknown, but it was definitely not a relaxed and happy look.

Tang Ling couldn't help sighing, he seemed to have never been so uneasy, his ease and poise all disappeared the moment he saw Qi Xiao, not yesterday, but as early as four years ago.

If it was Tang Ling four years ago, he wouldn't be anxious at all, let alone uneasy. The prince of Chen Guo fell into the water and disappeared, and the chaos in Chen's country was something he would like to hear and see.

Putting Qi Xiao out of this matter, the dispute between the princes of Chen Guo, no matter whether the prince is dead or missing, Chen Zhou and his relatives are imperative. Establish another prince as soon as possible to fulfill the agreement made by the two countries.

It's just that now that Qi Xiao has escaped marriage for Tang Ling, offending His Majesty, the marriage has become a deadlock.

Qi Xiao was right, the matter had come to this point, even if he was sent back to the Chen Kingdom, it was impossible for His Majesty to calm down, let alone complete the marriage and continue to let him be the crown prince and succeed to the throne.

In the study, Tang Qiao didn't let Qi Xiao sit down, nor ordered anyone to have a cup of tea, and he didn't treat him as a guest at all, exactly like how he trained Tang Ling yesterday, facing Qi Xiao, the first sentence asked: "Last night, You're not in the east chamber, is it because I didn't greet you well?"

Qi Xiao's throat tightened, as if Tang Yao had strangled his neck, not only guilty, but also a little scared.

"Don't dare to lie to Master Hou. Last night, I stayed in the Nuan Pavilion, and I was indeed not in the East Wing."

Tang Qiao felt that he was about to be out of breath. He couldn't breathe or swallow his breath. He glanced away and didn't look at Qi Xiao. He suppressed his temper and asked again: "You just said you wanted to talk to me, let's talk now .”

Tang Yao went straight, and Qi Xiao was unambiguous, and directly bowed down to Tang Yao and kowtowed to him, which shocked Tang Yao.

"Master Hou, please allow me to stay by Tang Ling's side for the rest of my life."

"...You! What did you say?"

Tang Qiao's ears are very good, but he really can't believe what he heard, please allow him?All my life?By Tang Ling's side?What kind of wording is this?

Qi Xiao crouched low, and repeated again: "Master Hou, please allow me to stay by Tang Ling's side for the rest of my life."

"...What is this? What are you? Let me take you into the Marquis Mansion as Tang Ling's bodyguard? Follower? Or what?"

Yesterday Tang Yao was still questioning Tang Ling, could someone like Qi Xiao be willing to be a servant?Unexpectedly, in just one night, Qi Xiao came by himself, begging him on his knees.

Tang Yao was stunned suddenly. He didn't understand Qi Xiao, nor did he understand Tang Ling. How could his own son like such a spineless thing?

"I want to stay with Tang Ling and be his lover for life."

Qi Xiao's voice was a bit muffled, but Tang Yao suddenly heard a little smile, "I want to marry him, or he can marry me."

Tang Qiao was so angry that he couldn't hold it back for a while, he raised his foot and kicked Qi Xiao on the shoulder, kicking him over hard.

"Crazy rebel! You want to kill him to be happy, right?! Because of you, Chen Zhou's marriage plan will fail! Because of you, even Tang Ling will be forced to take the blame?! What do you think he is?! He is Xun Anhou Shizi! He is the cabinet minister of my Great Zhou! If you have any sympathy for him, even the slightest bit of pity, you shouldn’t let him be charged with disloyalty, unrighteousness and filial piety! Get out now, what a shame! How far away!"

Qi Xiao was not willing to leave, and while listening to Tang Qiao's scolding, he knelt back and knelt down again.

He didn't know that Tang Ling had joined the cabinet, but he wasn't surprised. Which emperor would put Tang Ling, a man of the world, as idle?

"Master Hou, I have no choice about my origin, but I have the same position as Tang Ling on the issue of the two countries. I never thought of causing disputes between the two countries, and I never thought of harming him.

I traveled thousands of miles to Shaoyang just for my love, and I will not let him be that unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial person. "

"You won't?!" Tang Qiao was about to be pissed off, "That's what you're doing now! Isn't it unfilial to let him piss me off?! Let him disregard the overall situation of the country and let you do it for his own selfish desires. Isn't it considered disloyalty to get away?!"

"Master Hou, I know that I am self-willed and selfish, but I can't live without Tang Ling. He is the only thing I want in this world. No matter how difficult it is, as long as he is willing to respond to me, I will do anything. No regrets."

Tang Yao was so angry that he couldn't tell. These two people were determined to be desperate couples, and they wanted to be together at any cost. Tang Ling was really mad, and was poisoned by this kid!

Tang Qiao raised his leg and kicked Qi Xiao again. This kick was much stronger than before, almost breaking Qi Xiao's collarbone.

This little pain was nothing to Qi Xiao, he knelt back again, but his back was still straight, and he didn't have any intention of shrinking back.

"I know that my sudden appearance in Shaoyang will definitely bring troubles to Tang Ling and Lord Hou, but since I have made such a decision, I will not let Tang Ling bear the responsibility for me."

"Joke! When the two countries go to war, you can bear the lives of thousands of people in Chen and Zhou?!"

"There will be no war between Chen and Zhou."

Tang Yao gritted his teeth: "If you are the Emperor Chen, I will believe you!"

"Your Majesty of the Chen Kingdom, my father, his ambition to unify the world has never changed. Even if the marriage can be achieved, it may not be able to protect the peace of the two countries. On the contrary, as long as I am in the Zhou Kingdom, I can prevent your Majesty from using troops against Zhou." .”

"You? My Great Zhou left the prince of Chen Guo as a hostage in Shaoyang? Isn't it a reason for Chen Guo to send troops?"

"Master Hou, I am no longer the Crown Prince of Chen.

His Majesty has not announced my death so far, but he just wanted to delay the marriage between Xi and Princess.

But it is a fact that I escaped from marriage, even if you send me back, it is impossible for me to marry Princess Xihe as the crown prince.

Not only am I worthless to His Majesty, but I am also a traitor who committed rebellion. "

"Heh, it's a good word to make trouble."

"Master Hou, please let me enter the palace to have an audience with the Emperor Zhou."

"Ah?" Tang Yao was taken aback for a moment, he really couldn't figure out what Qi Xiao was thinking.

"I will not let Tang Ling take the responsibility for me, nor will I make things difficult for Master Hou.

Please Lord Hou hand me over to the emperor. "

Tang Ling hid Qi Xiao privately in the mansion, which was to deceive the emperor and treason the country. Tang Yao had no intention of covering it up. If Qi Xiao was willing to leave, Tang Yao would only truthfully report the matter to the emperor and queen mother, but would not do anything to Qi Xiao. But if Qi Xiao refused to leave, Tang Yao had made up his mind to take him directly to prison and listen to the emperor and queen mother.

It would be the best if Qi Xiao could be exchanged for Princess Xihe. If Chen Guo sent troops, it would be useless to keep Qi Xiao, and he should be killed to avoid future troubles.

But Qi Xiao himself said that he wanted Tang Yao to hand him over to the emperor, which was beyond Tang Yao's expectation.

Tang Ling's attitude was clearly to protect Qi Xiao, how could she agree?

"It's not difficult for you to meet the emperor, but so what?"

"I believe His Majesty will know the news of my appearance in Shaoyang soon, as well as my meeting with the Emperor.

There is no way to explain why Crown Prince Chen disappeared after falling into the water and suddenly appeared in the Zhou Palace. Your Majesty can only announce my death. There is a reason for Zhou Guo to welcome back Princess Xihe. and pro.

Isn't this the result Zhou Guo wanted? "

Tang Qiao looked at Qi Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is this the result of your discussion with Tang Ling all night?"

Qi Xiao shook his head: "He doesn't know."

"I don't know?" Tang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, he had to admit that Qi Xiao made him look very different, this young man was more ruthless, ruthless, willful, arrogant and fearless than he thought.

Shocked him and scared him.

"Master Hou, please allow me to stay by Tang Ling's side for the rest of my life."

Qi Xiao said this for the third time, he was very calm and extremely firm, "I will confess my feelings for Tang Ling to the emperor."

For Qi Xiao to meet the emperor, confession is the only way to explain the current situation, otherwise the emperor will not believe that the prince of Chen Guo escaped from marriage and came to Shaoyang, and will try his best to help avoid the war between the two countries.

But to bring Qi Xiao into the palace and let him confess everything, Tang Yao must first admit his relationship with Tang Ling.

This kid!Hard enough!

He also said that he would not harm Tang Ling, but he had Tang Ling in his hands!He even counted him Xun'an Hou Tangyu!If Qi Xiao can really stabilize the two countries, the emperor will acquiesce in the relationship between him and Tang Ling. Not only will he acquiesce, but he might also be very happy. Tang Qiao himself has only one son. favorable.

Tang Qiao stomped back and forth in the room for two steps, but he was out of breath, and kicked Qi Xiao's shoulder again, and kicked hard on the same spot, and he heard a "click", and the kick broke Qi Xiao's body. Only one bone, the anger in his heart can be considered to be relieved.

Sweat broke out on Qi Xiao's forehead, enduring the pain, but still knelt straight.

"Go, let Qing Lan show you the injury. In the afternoon, I will take you into the palace, and Tang Ling has to go too."

Qi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed to Tang Yao again: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your success."

"Get out!" Tang Yao roared, no, he is still angry!

Qi Xiao: It hurts... I need my wife to coax me! (This week is very busy, I have to work overtime on weekends, less, I will make up next week, okay?)
