Ximen Qingkong held her face in her hands. Her breathing hastened as if she was struggling in a hopeless situation. She shouted, "I don't agree!"
Xuan Wei laughed and cried. She raised her head to look at him and nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Good! If you don't agree, then I won't agree! "
She agreed decisively and happily. Ximen Qingkong, who had gotten the answer she was eager to hear, was stunned. The next thought she had was: Then what?
Seeing her crying and smiling like a pear blossom in the rain, Ximen Qingkong's heart ached. He was by her side to protect her. He had never made her cry, nor had he seen her cry like this.
Even in the face of such a storm, even when she locked up her brother, she had never shed a single tear. She had always been a strong woman, but now she was crying like this.
Ximen Qingkong's heart was suffocating. She held her face with both hands and helped her wipe her tears.
Xuan Wei shook her head to stop him from wiping them off. She placed her head on his chest and apologized again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
Hugging her, the two of them embraced each other naked. Ximen Qingkong gradually realized some things. She finally understood why Jin Lingzan and the others looked at her strangely during the day.
Because he understood, a bitter smile gradually appeared on his face. He did not know why he had become like this.
Previously, Xuan Wei had said that she would leave with him after gradually handing over power. But in the end, the situation suddenly changed. She said that she would marry him after the situation stabilized, but in the end, Xuan Wei had to marry someone else.
Why was this happening? He gradually understood that in the end, it was his own incompetence.
He had originally thought that with his martial strength, as long as he could protect her personal safety, he would be able to protect her. Only now did he realize that his martial strength was actually so powerless.
He had a body of cultivation and great strength, but he didn't know who he should point his sword at, and who could he point it at? Would they be able to resolve the crisis of Wei Nation or defeat the army of Jin Nation?
He pulled out his sword and looked around in a daze. His cultivation was not enough to help Xuan Wei stabilize the hearts of the people of Wei Country. In the current situation, he was not even able to help Xuan Wei at all.
As a man, he was so useless. He did not know what right he had to ask Xuan Wei.
"The number one expert of the Pill List …" Ximen Qing Kong who was muttering suddenly hugged her and laughed out loud towards the sky. His laughter was miserable. "Number one expert! He couldn't even help the woman he loved! The number one expert on the Pill List! What a joke … haha … "
She laughed miserably and desolately. She laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. It hurts! The pain penetrated his heart!
At this moment, he finally understood that those people whom he had looked down on in the past must have also looked down on him.
"No! It's not like this, Qingkong, it's not like this … "Xuan Wei quickly raised her head and comforted him. She held his face with both hands and wiped away his tears.
He grabbed her hands and pushed her away. "If agreeing to the State of Qi can really help you, then agree."
After saying this, Ximen Qingkong seemed to be extremely dispirited. She pushed her away and turned to pick up the clothes on the ground.
Xuan Wei had never seen this cold and aloof man like this. Her heart ached, and she burst into tears as she threw herself at him and hugged him. "No! I was wrong! I don't agree! I shouldn't have told you this! I was wrong. I don't agree. Why should I, a woman, be responsible for the country? I don't agree. I don't care anymore. I'll go with you. Qingkong, take me away. Take me away now! "
Then, she snatched the clothes from his hands and did not let him put them on. She was afraid that he would put them on and leave. She was afraid that once he left, he would never come back.
Ximen Qingkong laughed weakly. "You can't leave. If you leave now, the people of the State of Wei will completely collapse. The three major sects of the State of Wei will never let you go. They won't let me take you away."
Unable to snatch the clothes from his hands, Xuan Wei suddenly hugged his neck and pressed her red lips on his, kissing him passionately.
Ximen Qingkong was indifferent at first, but gradually, he responded. Gradually, he became as violent as a wild beast, as if he wanted to vent.
Soon, the two of them fell onto the cold ground, tangling and rolling.
In the end, the man used up everything, but the woman refused to let him go. She demanded endlessly, as if she wanted to keep him by demanding endlessly, afraid that he would leave …
The guards outside the courtyard stopped Tang Yi and the cultivators of the Sect who were patrolling in the night. "My husband has ordered that no one is allowed to enter tonight."
Tang Yi was somewhat surprised. She used her Dharma Eye to look at the situation in the courtyard. Outside the brightly lit bedroom, there was not a single person. Not to mention guards, there was not even a eunuch or palace maid. This was not normal.
The night was quiet, but there were some strange movements in the bedroom.
Tang Yi listened for a while. Although she had never experienced the affairs between a man and a woman, she could understand the movements in the bedroom. Her cheeks instantly became hot.
She looked again with her Dharma Eye, but did not see Ximen Qingkong. This was even more abnormal. When she was resting, Ximen Qingkong would always stay outside the bedroom, always on guard.
"Where's Ximen Qingkong?" Tang Yi asked.
"This …" The guard at the door hesitated and did not say anything. He just glanced at the direction of the brightly lit bedroom.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Yi understood. She was a little surprised when she realized who was the one who made the movements in the bedroom.
She was a little surprised. After being by Xuan Wei's side for so long, she had witnessed the relationship between Ximen Qingkong and Xuan Wei. Even though they had feelings for each other, the two of them were only interested in each other.
She did not expect that the couple would actually be together tonight.
The unbearable sounds came from the room. What happened? The scene inside made Tang Yi feel ashamed to continue thinking about it …
The people of the Sect kept watch outside for the whole night. At this moment, Xuan Wei's safety was of utmost importance.
Since ancient times, there were countless examples of leaders being beheaded during the Nation War. Xuan Wei was related to the future of the entire Sect Leader, so the Shanghai Sect did not dare to be negligent.
What happened in Xuan Wei's bedroom tonight was a secret, but it was also not a secret. The news soon reached the ears of the Sect Masters of the three major sects.
The three major sects didn't have any reaction. They allowed and connived with Xuan Wei. As long as Xuan Wei could handle the matters that they wanted, she could do whatever she wanted with her personal matters. As long as Xuan Wei was happy, it was fine as long as she didn't ruin the plans of the three major sects.
The next day, the door of the bedroom creaked open. Tang Yi, who was guarding outside the courtyard with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and looked back.
She saw Xuan Wei and Ximen Qingkong walking out of the room together. Both of them seemed to be in low spirits as though they had not slept for the whole night.
The Sect Masters of the three major sects were very happy that Xuan Wei had agreed to the marriage of the Qi Kingdom.
They immediately replied to the Qi Kingdom and ordered people to prepare for the wedding. They wanted to organize Xuan Wei's wedding without restraint and wanted everyone to know about it.
When the Qi Kingdom received the news, they immediately offered their Seventeenth Prince, Hao Cheng. Hao Cheng was only sixteen years old.
In the military area of the palace, a handsome and thin young man was stopped by the guards.
The handsome young man was Prince Hao Cheng. When he suddenly received the imperial edict, he couldn't believe that it was true. It was like a nightmare.
He was a prince, but he was going to marry an old woman who was almost forty years old in the Wei Kingdom!
He had thought that he might not be able to decide his future marriage. He might marry a woman that he didn't like, but he never dreamed that he would actually marry someone and marry into the Wei Kingdom.
Even though he was extremely unwilling, he couldn't disobey the imperial edict. He had no choice.
Not only did he have no choice, he was immediately told to go to the Wei Kingdom without delay.
Before he left, he wanted to see his father. He just wanted to see him or ask him why.
However, the guards stopped him and said that the emperor had important military affairs to deal with.
Looking at the military area, Hao Cheng's eyes locked on a pavilion. He saw the figure of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Bu Xun. After staring for a while, he slowly turned around and walked towards the back palace.
Bu Xun, who was leaning against the railing, suddenly turned around and bowed to the side. Hao Yun Tu slowly walked out from behind the door and expressionlessly watched his son's lonely figure leave.
"Will he hate this Emperor?" Hao Yun Tu asked indifferently.
Bu Xun bowed and replied tactfully, "The Seventeenth Prince will understand one day."
Hao Yun Tu said, "This Emperor is not a good father. This Emperor has wronged him, but … he is my son. When Cheng 'er and Xuan Wei are married, pass this Emperor's edict to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort and take charge of the West Palace! "
Consort Jing was Hao Cheng's birth mother.
"Yes!" Bu Xun bowed and accepted the order.
Inside the back palace, Hao Cheng saw his mother. He wanted to ask why, but he saw that his mother's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She used a thick layer of makeup to cover it up and forced a smile.
Seeing this, Hao Cheng didn't say anything. He understood the situation in the back palace, and he didn't want to harm his mother. So, he just said a few words of farewell and told his mother to take care.
Consort Jing had to force a smile. The emperor had decreed that she was not allowed to cry or show any unhappiness when bidding farewell to her son. Marriage was a happy event, and she had to be happy. She also had to persuade her son to marry into the family.
The situation was urgent, and time was tight. Under the urging of the entourage, Hao Cheng hurriedly left after seeing his mother.
He knelt down and kowtowed a few times. After getting up, he resolutely turned around and left without looking back.
Once her son left, Consort Jing was on the verge of collapse. She could no longer pretend and collapsed in the crowd, crying her heart out.
It was said that a mother's status depended on her son's, and this was especially true in the back palace. Apart from this, this was her son after all. Once her son left, his life would be completely ruined.
A prince marrying into someone else's family, and to such an old woman no less. Moreover, it was said that the woman had a world-famous lover! Her son, whom she had high hopes for, would carry a stain that could never be washed off. He would become a joke in the eyes of the world, and it wasn't hard to imagine how he would be able to face others. Her son's life was finished …
The State of Qi sent Hao Cheng to Wei Country immediately. Other than the guards accompanying him, Hao Cheng didn't bring any luggage.
He was settled in the Wei Country's imperial palace. Once he arrived, someone measured him and cut him new clothes. Hao Cheng was very cooperative and let them do as they pleased like a puppet.
The next day, the entire imperial palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The newlyweds who had never met before came together to worship heaven and earth.
The scale of the wedding was grand, and it was very festive and lively.
Tang Yi looked at the newlyweds who were worshipping heaven and earth, and then looked at Ximen Qingkong who was standing at the side. Almost everyone was dressed in new clothes to welcome this joyous occasion. Only Ximen Qingkong was dressed in old clothes, and he stood there silently with a sword on his back.
How could this be? Tang Yi sighed inwardly. She didn't know how Ximen Qingkong would feel if she had to watch Xuan Wei marry someone else.
The scene of them worshipping heaven and earth made her recall the past. The scene of her worshipping heaven and earth in the Shangqing Sect surfaced in her mind.
