88, [1 more] Abandoned Concubine in the Cold Palace (15)
Whether people want to believe it or not, it is a foregone conclusion that Chu Xiang is "Lin Mu". More and more evidence has been found to confirm this matter. Li Bohan and Chu Xiang have the first time quarreling about it, and Li Bohan does not allow Chu Xiang to go out again.
"Now everyone knows that you are my princess, not just a subordinate. Do you know what this means? It means that you are a living target, and countless people are staring at you and wanting to catch you. If you go out, you will encounter the same crisis as me. Do you understand?"
Chu Xiang looked at him calmly, and after a while, he asked, "Are you worried about me or are you starting to be afraid of me?"
Li Bohan was stunned, "What did you say? I'm afraid of you? Don't believe me and worry about your safety?"
Chu Xiang shook his head, "I believe you are worried about me, but when you ask yourself, did you feel a little afraid of me when you find that I am much stronger than you imagined? You don't need to deny that if you don't even fear this, I will feel that you can't become an emperor."
Of course, Li Bohan would be afraid. When he was on the battlefield, his first reaction was to be afraid. But he also liked Chu Xiang. He had never thought about how to do it. He just hoped that everything would not get out of control. But he looked at Chu Xiang Qingming's eyes and couldn't say anything, so he could only remain silent.
Chu Xiang saw him too thoroughly, and he was in this position and could not believe in a person wholeheartedly. The conflict between them once again made him feel deeply powerless.
Silence spread between the two, and at some point they had gradually moved away. They were obviously facing each other day, but they could no longer return to the simplestness when they first met, and could no longer return to the intimacy before the rebellion.
Looking back now, haven’t they used each other from the beginning? How can they talk about true love? He himself thought it was ridiculous, and he was not as ridiculous as Chu Xiang and was really trapped by love. But in this game, he was the only one who was the one in the game, which was his greatest sorrow.
Li Bohan moved out of the bedroom where they had lived together for five years in silence, and refused to let Chu Xiang go out. Even he himself did not think clearly about how to treat Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang was prepared and was at peace with her Qin Princess in the Qin Palace. Everyone knew that she was Lin Mu, and their attitude towards her became awe. No one messed with her at all, and life was very comfortable. Then she naturally sent the news and asked her people to stop supporting Li Bohan.
In recent years, Chu Xiang has been the leader in supporting the financial, material and military supplies of the Qin King Army. Although other merchants were supporting it, as soon as Chu Xiang retreated, a huge funding gap immediately appeared, and the strategist hurriedly consulted with Li Bohan.
Before, these strategists were disgusted with Chu Xiang one by one, thinking that it was the demon concubine who had confused their lords, and they had been thinking about how to eliminate the demon concubine. Now that they had not yet come back to the fact that the demon concubine was Lin Mu, Chu Xiang did not support Li Bohan. They suddenly realized the importance of the princess Qin to them, and were eager to know what conflict the couple had had, and they circled around and persuaded Li Bohan to comfort Chu Xiang.
Li Bohan angrily went to the bedroom to look for Chu Xiang, but he couldn't tell whether he was angry that Chu Xiang had made such a big deal without him, or that Chu Xiang was angry that he would be breaking up without giving him some time. Seeing Chu Xiang, he couldn't help but question: "You just don't believe me so much? Are you afraid that I will lock you up?"
Chu Xiang spread his hands with a expressionless expression, "I can't leave the palace gate now. Isn't it that you have locked up? Apart from the rich clothes and food, there are people here to serve you, which is actually different from the cold palace?"
"You! Do you really can't see my affection for you? I have only been moved by you, spoiled you, protected you, and even considered how to not set up a harem in the future and grow old with you alone. Even if you say you don't like to be trapped in the palace, I'm thinking about how to let you go out of the palace occasionally to relax. In the end, you just think that I am a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and you don't believe me at all, right?" Li Bohan suppressed his anger, staring at Chu Xiang with hurtful emotions, as if his true heart was trampled by Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang said lightly: "I believe. You use me, appreciate me, and fall in love with me until you are willing to compromise for me. I know every time you change. But there is only so much you can give me, and this is not what I want.
What kind of queen do you need in the future? What kind of heir? I can't give you what you want. Instead of becoming a resentful partner, it's better not to start. Today you can trap me in the Qin Palace, and in the future you can trap me anywhere. The reason is that you want to do this. You should remember that I hate that others control my life, and it is inevitable to cut off military supplies. You and I have been together for five years, and no one owe anyone. In order to leave, I can do anything."
Chu Xiang's eyes were fearless. Li Bohan believed that she could really do anything and blurted out: "Aren't you afraid of what your father and brother will encounter?"
He regretted it as soon as he said that. Before Chu Xiang could speak, he turned his back to Chu Xiang in annoyance, "It's my fault, I won't threaten you with them. You're right, what I deserve is that I will have the idea of restraining you, and I want to tie you to my side."
Li Bohan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, there is nothing to think about. Either I let you go, from now on, the mountains are high and the road is far, and it is difficult to meet again; or I will wipe out your forces, break your wings, trap you by my side, and never get your response."
He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You know I can't bear to hurt you, I have no choice at all. Sometimes I really hate your rationality."
Li Bohan walked out of the bedroom with big strides, Chu Xiang stood by the window and watched his figure gradually disappear. Li Bohan had a true relationship with her. Maybe she would be the only woman Li Bohan was moved by in his life, but she was still not touched.
She can be heartbroken because she knows that Li Bohan will become a real emperor, and even if she likes her, she will not be able to compare with Jiangshan. Once she has a conflict with Jiangshan, Li Bohan will definitely sacrifice her. She is not leaving a man and cannot live, so why put herself in such a position?
Li Bohan said he hated her for being too rational. Indeed, another woman might have been moved by Li Bohan and was willing to compromise and become Li Bohan's only queen.
But why did she compromise? She traveled through worlds to be happy for herself, not to make others happy. The more men who are willing to give her all, this kind of reserved love was not within her acceptance from the beginning, and it was better to be a fool who loved her than the country to match her wishes.
They can use each other, appreciate each other, be friends, but they will never be husband and wife.
Chu Xiang walked to the corridor outside the door and opened the three bird cages hanging under the corridor one by one. He watched the birds fly happily into the sky, showing a faint smile.
Li Bohan stood behind a tree at the corner, looking at Chu Xiang with his hands behind his back.
How long has it been since he saw her laugh? The atmosphere between them has become tense since she rescued him on the battlefield. She seemed to have expected all this and never smiled at him again.
He stopped here, wondering if Chu Xiang was touched by the matter between them. He wondered what would happen to her alone after he left.
Seeing this scene in front of him, he no longer had a trace of luck, only endless regrets.
Their relationship has never begun, but has ended.
Li Bohan stood behind the tree for a long time, and did not turn around and leave until Chu Xiang returned to the room. After he left, Chu Xiang closed the window and took a look at the direction he had just stopped.
Everything afterwards developed as Chu Xiang hoped. Li Bohan no longer restricted her from entering and leaving the Qin Palace, but only arranged two secret guards to protect her. Now everyone knows that Lin Mu was the princess of Qin, Chu Xiang, who dressed as a man, and Chu Xiang no longer concealed her and showed her to others in capable women's clothing.
The Qin Wang Army's military supply was fully supplemented, and people were talking about her in public, but no one in the Qin Wang Army did not like her. Isn't such a powerful mistress the woman who deserves her lord the most? They were too proud to be "princess" and defend Chu Xiang to the end.
When Chu Yiru returned to the Qin Palace after a while, he made an appointment with her and asked her if she still insisted on her original ideas. With Chu Xiang's current reputation, if she enters the central palace in the future, her status will be as stable as a rock. Even if the Qin King wants to favor her, he may not encounter many obstacles.
Chu Xiang made a pot of tea for him and said with a smile: "Dad, after the prince re-approved me to leave the palace, he specially arranged two secret guards to protect me."
"Oh?" Chu Yiru instantly understood what she meant, "Your Majesty is going to check your background, he should indeed do this."
"The two secret guards he gave me are his best secret guards, that is, he regards my safety as more important than himself. But he still asked them to check me, because an emperor does not allow forces outside of his control." Chu Xiang knew that it was difficult for men of this era to understand her thoughts, and she didn't need them to understand. She only said to Chu Yiru, "I have decided and will not change it. Don't worry, he will let me go and will not make things difficult for you in the future."
Chu Yiru looked at her and sighed, "Since that's the case, I won't say much for my father. Go and do what you want."
A person has many helplessness to be an emperor, and he cannot have both fish and bear's paws. Chu Xiang has learned almost 10% of Chu Yiru's craftsmanship over the years, and every change in Li Bohan's mind was within her expectations. Only in this way can she escape unstoppable, and even if she has enough power to protect herself, she will not be targeted by Li Bohan.
It's like walking a tightrope in the air. If there is a slight mistake, it will fall into the abyss. Chu Xiang controlled the delicate balance, so he did not end as miserably as countless tragic characters in history.
She revealed some news to the secret guards, allowing Li Bohan to see part of her power, but mysteriously only see the tip of its iceberg, including some maritime forces and private soldiers. This mysterious and powerful feeling will make Li Bohan feel threatened, and even find that if he really wants to eradicate Chu Xiang's power, he will definitely hurt the enemy by one thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.
With the dual considerations of feelings and interests, Li Bohan naturally lets Chu Xiang go. Feelings play a very important part of this, otherwise how could others snore on the side of the bed?
Chu Xiang's steel wire was successfully gone, so she also supported Li Bohan without hesitation and helped Li Bohan advance northward and break through the capital with unstoppable momentum.
On the day they entered Beijing, Chu Xiang and Li Bohan rode their horses in front of the team. People not only saw the wise and powerful Qin King, but also the heroic Princess Qin. When they entered the city, the people on both sides knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"
