Chapter 3 Change
night.
The bustling streets have passed away from the hustle and bustle of the day, and a black shadow has quickly passed through the streets and alleys of Xuancheng.
Outside Qinchuan's mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and the black shadow flashed to a dark corner, took a few steps back, and then kicked the wall with all his strength a few times. A pair of white hands were placed on the wall. With force, the black shadow jumped onto the wall and jumped into the yard.
The black shadow squatted on the ground, hiding behind a big tree, and he carefully observed the situation around him. A team of patrolling guards had just walked by.
The black shadow flashed out and followed them quietly. After passing an ancient corridor, the black shadow stopped in front of a small building, looked up at the upstairs, and the lights were on.
He tiptoed to the second floor and knocked on the wooden door twice. Soon, the wooden door opened from inside, and the black shadow flashed into the room and closed the wooden door again.
"Brother Xiaoyao!" A very familiar and sweet voice came from behind.
Li Xiaoyao turned around and looked at her with a smile.
She was wearing a thin blue shirt, with thin collarbone, and a fairy-like face, with a hint of sorrow, a little charming and charming.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Xiaoyao noticed the expression on Qin Xiaotong's face and asked worriedly.
"Aren't you coming to propose marriage today? Why did you go back halfway?" Qin Xiaotong stared at Li Xiaoyao with her watery eyes.
"Oh..." Li Xiaoyao understood: "So you are angry with me?"
"Hmph!" Qin Xiaotong muttered, feeling sulky, and turned around and walked towards the room.
"Tsk! Woman! Be petty." Li Xiaoyao muttered softly, then followed.
At the table, Qin Xiaotong sat on the chair and said with a dull face: "Brother Xiaoyao, my father wants me to marry the prince."
"Hmm?" Li Xiaoyao frowned and sat next to her: "Do you want to marry the prince?"
"I..." Qin Xiaotong lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyao, I don't want to marry the prince, but I can't make the decision on the major marriage."
After waiting anxiously for a long time, the result that came was not what Li Xiaoyao thought. He stood up in disappointment and asked in a low mood: "So, do you want to follow Qin Chuan's arrangement?"
"But he is my father after all." Qin Xiaotong raised her head with a serious expression, her tone was a little heavy.
"Yes! I forgot, Qin Chuan is your father." Li Xiaoyao's throat squirmed, and his dry throat hurt slightly.
He suppressed his anger and said warmly: "Give me some time, I will definitely ask your father to agree to our marriage."
"It's useless. The person sent by His Highness the Crown Prince to pick me up into the capital is already in the mansion." Qin Xiaotong stood up, turned around and walked to the sandalwood cabinet beside her, took out a tube-shaped lipstick from the cabinet, handed it to Li Xiaoyao, and said indifferently: "I'll give it to you, we won't meet again in the future."
"Why?"
He couldn't understand why he had known Qin Xiaotong for four years, so why did he become like this now?
Four years of love have disappeared.
Is the parents' order really a barrier between the two?
"Brother Xiaoyao, the reason why I still call you that is because I hope we can get together and part. I don't want to say some things too bluntly, I hope you can understand." After Qin Xiaotong said that, she took Li Xiaoyao's hand, stuffed the lipstick he gave to him, and stuffed it back into his hand.
Li Xiaoyao held the lipstick in his hand tightly and asked with a lonely expression: "I want to know, why did you treat me like this?"
"Since you want to know why? Then I'll tell you."
"That's right, when I was with you, I did bring me a wonderful memory, but you are just a down-and-out prince who has no money and power. His Royal Highness, who will ascend the throne to the emperor in the future. If you marry the prince, I will be the queen of Han in the future."
"Li Xiaoyao, if it were you, a down-and-out princess, and a queen who commanded the harem mother in the world, who would you choose?"
Li Xiaoyao took a few steps powerlessly. Qin Xiaotong in front of him was no longer the gentle and cute girl he knew.
She has changed.
"Are you just trying to separate from me for the vanity of the queen?" he asked in disbelief.
"Vii?" Qin Xiaotong chuckled and said, "Li Xiaoyao, what is vain? Isn't it vain to be a down-and-out princess with you?"
Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "Xiaotong, I know these are all Qin Chuan forced you. This is not your real idea. Don't worry, I will go back to prepare the bride price now, and I will definitely let Qin Chuan agree to let you marry me."
"Li Xiaoyao." Qin Xiaotong stopped Li Xiaoyao who was about to leave. Her expression became cold: "Don't be wishful thinking anymore. My father didn't force me. This is all my own thoughts. It was because my father said that you were the prince personally named by the emperor. Marrying you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
"But now I understand that you were sent to Xuancheng because you were not favored by the emperor. You are a down-and-out prince who is not favored by the emperor. I don't want to marry a person with no future."
"A person without a future?" Li Xiaoyao laughed at himself, then said with a cold face: "You just want to climb a dragon and a phoenix, why bother to find so many high-sounding reasons? Isn't it just that I don't have money or power?"
"Li Xiaoyao, don't say so badly." Qin Xiaotong glared at Li Xiaoyao.
"Uncle?" Li Xiaoyao chuckled, then figured it out himself, so he walked back to the room, came to Qin Xiaotong, looked down at her and said, "If one day I become the emperor, would you marry me?"
"You are the only one who is down and out prince? Still want to be the emperor?" Qin Xiaotong looked up and sneered: "If there really is such a day, it will be your dream in the daytime."
"Hahaha..." Li Xiaoyao laughed to the sky and said to himself: "I didn't expect that the first person I, Li Xiaoyao, fell in love with, was a vain person, for nothing."
With a creaking sound, the door of the room was pushed open by several servants holding sticks.
A middle-aged man in his forties walked in with a stern back and a serious expression. He was Qin Xiaotong's father, Qin Chuan, the leader of the border army in Xuancheng, holding 100,000 heavy troops.
"My father, he, he wants to be careless to me." Qin Xiaotong ran behind Qin Chuan and pointed at Li Xiaoyao and cried aggrievedly.
"Prince Xiaoyao, are you so bold?" Qin Chuan said coldly: "You have entered my Qin Mansion at night and dared to do such a thing that is worse than beasts. Even if you are the prince personally named by Your Majesty, I can still kill you in the mansion."
trap?
Li Xiaoyao's face darkened and he looked at the father and daughter with a cold expression: "Do you want to kill this king secretly?"
"That's right!" Qin Chuan sneered coldly, then turned around and shouted, "Take it down for me."
