Chapter 1568 What do you want? (2)
"Your status is different now. You will soon ascend the throne and everyone will surround you. You should know best what the result was last time."
"This time, I may not be able to remind you like before."
"What my elder brother and his wife want is just a peaceful life. What's the point of giving them thousands of ounces of gold? They never want wealth and glory."
Si Jing's words made Li Hong fall into deep thought, and he subconsciously classified Fang Chen into those families.
"What would I do without you?"
Li Hong held Si Jing in his arms. What more could a husband ask for than to have a loving wife who cared about him so much?
"Just don't blame me for being nosy!"
Si Jing leaned in Li Hong's arms.
"People say that the emperor is ruthless. I am also afraid that one day you will be suspicious of me and think that I should not be involved in government affairs."
"If possible, I don't want you to become an emperor. I want you to be an ordinary couple like my elder brother and his wife, and live an ordinary life."
"But I also know that you can't, so I just hope that you can know that my heart is with you!"
"You can tell me anything you want, and there should be no suspicion between us."
Si Jing slowly expressed her long-cherished wish, but she knew in her heart that she could not ask Li Hong to have only her.
With an unstable foundation, he had to give up his own wishes and take the daughters of important officials as his concubines...
She only hoped that he would not harbor any suspicion towards her.
Li Hong hugged Si Jing, feeling both distressed and angry at the humbleness in her words.
What made her feel sad was that she seemed certain that he would be like the late emperor and repeat their old ways.
She was also angry because she didn't trust him, and Fang Chen also didn't trust him.
He had suffered a loss once, so how could he not know that today's sweet words are just honey on the lips.
The more they did this, the more determined he became.
"Jing'er, believe me, there will be no one else in the palace except you."
Li Hong's words shocked Si Jing, and she looked up in disbelief.
"Husband..."
Si Jing felt sweet in her heart. She was happy even if Li Hong just said it involuntarily at the moment.
Li Hong held Si Jing in his arms, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. When he thought of Fang Chen and Ji Xiaomu, his eyes became more determined.
In Heyang City, Ji Xiaou, who did not wait for Fang Chen to return, received the "express package" sent to her by Si Jing.
"Greetings, madam. May you live forever!"
Yang Xi knelt in front of Ji Xiaomu and said excitedly.
"You said she was sent to me by Jing'er?"
Ji Xiaomu looked at the secret guard who escorted Yang Xi here and asked.
"Yes, ma'am."
The secret guard said respectfully.
"Anything to say?"
Ji Xiaomu asked.
"She helped the princess, so the princess granted her a favor. She begged the princess to let her leave the palace. She wanted to find a way to survive."
The secret guard told Ji Xiaomu what had happened, and Ji Xiaomu glanced at Yang Xi.
"Of course you can. Is there anything you want to do?"
Ji Xiaomu looked at Yang Xi and asked curiously.
Taking her in is not a problem. As long as she is an honest person, Heyang City will naturally welcome her.
"Madam..."
Yang Xi said respectfully to Ji Xiaomu.
"We don't talk about these empty formalities here, just relax. This is not the palace of the king, we are just common people."
Ji Xiaomu smiled at Yang Xi and reached out to pull her up.
Seeing how respectful she was, as if she was afraid of losing her life, Ji Xiaomu patted her soothingly.
