Chapter 406 The disabled prince with no heir 27
Zhao Yun went to the General's Mansion upon invitation. The General's Mansion was a very large house. Although the late emperor was extremely afraid of the Xu family, he would still do some superficial things at certain times.
This house was given by the late emperor in the past, and it is very grand.
As he walked further inside, Zhao Yun realized that something was not right. This did not seem to be the front hall, but instead seemed to be in the backyard.
"Old General, are you on the wrong path?"
Zhao Yun's expression didn't show, but he was already a little angry in his heart.
Emperors are suspicious, and he is no exception.
It's not that he thought the Xu family dared to assassinate him, he just thought that General Xu had also learned the tricks of others.
The Xu family is small and there are no girls of suitable age, but they can recruit people.
It was not like no one offered women to him in the past, and Zhao Yun did not accept them at that time.
"Your Majesty, you are not making a mistake. You are almost there in front."
Zhao Yun followed patiently and continued walking. He also wanted to see the Xu family's clumsy methods.
What kind of counselor did the Xu family find?
If it was true as he suspected, he would not reuse the Xu family again in the future, nor would he hold an official position as Xu Heshi.
After walking another hundred steps from the rockery, Zhao Yun was led to a pavilion.
There was a woman sitting in the pavilion at this time.
Just by looking at her back, Zhao Yun could confirm that this woman must be pretty.
He became more convinced of his guess, and his face instantly darkened.
"What is the old general trying to do? The Xu family has now begun to use some heretical means?"
Zhao Yun's voice was extremely cold and he spoke angrily: "I misjudged your Xu family."
"Zhao Yun." Xu Lingyi said calmly.
This sound was like thunder on the ground, exploding in Zhao Yun's heart.
Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, Zhao Yun's mind went blank, and it seemed that no sound could be heard for a while.
After a few seconds, Zhao Yun seemed to finally react, and he suddenly jumped towards the pavilion.
"Yi'er?" Zhao Yun stared blankly at Xu Lingyi's face, his voice extremely dry and hoarse.
Although he has never seen Xu Lingyi's face with his own eyes, he has seen her portrait thousands of times.
The person in front of me is exactly like the woman in the portrait, but she is far more lively and beautiful than in the portrait.
"Am I dreaming?"
Zhao Yun stared at her, clenching his palms tightly, and his fingertips turned white with force.
He was afraid that he had recognized the wrong person, and that it was all just his imagination.
"Your Majesty, isn't he looking for me? It's me."
At this moment, Zhao Yun's brain exploded.
The familiar voice and tone, as well as the pain in his palms, all reminded Zhao Yun that all of this was true.
He finally found her.
Realizing this fact, Zhao Yun's blood coagulated all over his body, and he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Yi'er!"
He suddenly held Xu Lingyi's hand with frightening force.
"Your Majesty, please respect yourself." Xu Lingyi pulled her hand away from his palm.
Realizing her struggle, Zhao Yun quickly let go of her.
"Yi'er, I'm too excited."
Zhao Yun's voice was hoarse and choked: "I thought you were dead before, and I have been looking for you since I found out you were still alive. Now that I suddenly saw you, I lost my sense of caution. Is there something wrong with your hand?"
Zhao Yun was a little nervous and lowered his head to hold her hand and check.
Xu Lingyi took a few steps back and said, "What did your majesty want from me? I thought that if I died, your majesty would be happy or relieved. After all, I got rid of a burden that has lost its use value."
Her voice was particularly cold, which also made Zhao Yun come back from his excitement.
Sure enough, she faked her death and escaped because she misunderstood him.
This was not her fault, it was his own fault. If she hadn't been so decisive on the day she left, she wouldn't have missed him so much.
He will not leave Yaowang Valley and give up his original identity.
"Yi'er"
He stared at her blankly, and explained rather eagerly: "I know it was all my fault before, and you deserve to blame me and hate me. At that time, I was blinded by hatred, and all I wanted to do was avenge my mother." .”
"I didn't realize my feelings for you at the time."
At this point, Zhao Yun was full of regret: "If you give me another chance, I will definitely choose to take you to Beijing together. No matter what the situation, we will be together."
The more Zhao Yun talked, the redder his eyes became, but Xu Lingyi shook his head.
Although she initially just wanted to have some fun, Zhao Yun's subsequent choices, including his behavior, were not to her liking.
She showed up now just to make things clear to Zhao Yun.
No one else should be involved between them in the first place.
"It's too late to say this now,"
Zhao Yun stubbornly shook his head: "It's not too late, you are still alive, and I have survived the struggle to seize the throne. We still have a lifetime. I will do my best to make up for my debt to you in the future."
"Although I did want to use you and the Medicine King Valley at the beginning to cure my eyes and the poison on my body."
After confessing these words frankly, Zhao Yun felt better: "But I will never use you even a little bit in the future, and you are by no means a person who is casually discarded in my heart. You are the person I like, the one I love." The only wife I want to marry.”
Zhao Yun's words fell into Xu Lingyi's ears, but she only thought it was ridiculous. She didn't like this belated love.
If she really wants to find her sweetheart in the future, she will only find someone who firmly chooses her.
But at the same time, she also knew that Zhao Yun's behavior was only determined by his living environment.
It can only be said that they were not suitable from the beginning.
"I won't be your wife."
Xu Lingyi said firmly, "Even if I want to get married in the future, my husband-in-law cannot have other women. As far as I know, there are many concubines in your harem. These people can all be your wives, but I will not. "
What she said was extremely serious, and Zhao Yun could see that this was her truest thought now.
His heart sank to the bottom with her words.
"Yi'er, I have never touched those women. They are my women in name only. In order to seize the throne, I had no choice but to marry them. No matter now or in the future, I will not touch them at all."
Seeing that Xu Lingyi still had a cold face and no reaction, Zhao Yun explained eagerly with red eyes: "If you don't like it, I will send them all home immediately."
His posture was particularly humble, but it couldn't make Xu Lingyi look good.
"Zhao Yun, you are always like this. In the past, you needed the power behind them, so you married these women back to the palace. Now that you have ascended to the throne, they have lost their use value, so you just throw them away. What have these women done wrong? Woolen cloth?"
"You treat them like this, how can I believe that one day you will treat me like this."
Her words were like a sharp knife piercing Zhao Yun's heart, and he felt unspeakable grievance.
He was angry with her for misunderstanding, but at the same time he was even more angry with himself.
All this is his own fault.
"Yier, you are different from them, how can they compare with you."
"What's the difference? Aren't they all people you have taken advantage of?"
Xu Lingyi said this deliberately, she still remembered his senior brothers and sisters who captured her.
Sure enough, Zhao Yun's face turned pale again.
