Thousands of times the two of them had fantasized about the scene of reunion, but they didn't expect that it would be under such circumstances. Seeing Smith's somewhat surprised expression, Li Xuanji burst into tears and said, "Mr. Smith, go busy, I want to chat with this gentleman alone..."

Smith responded and ordered a waiter to take the two to a special reception room, then left and thought, "Is it really wrong for us to brew tea, so that gentleman didn't drink Dahongpao?"

The reception room of Licha Hotel is very luxurious. All the furniture is European, and there is also a small self-service bar. Standing by the bar counter, Li Xuanji suppressed his impulse and asked softly: "Your Highness, what do you want to drink?"

Xiao Yungui approached the counter, but Li Xuanji took a step back unconsciously. Xiao Yungui took two high-legged wine glasses and a bottle of brandy and said lightly: "Are you so afraid of me? Mrs. Rothschild."

When Li Xuanji heard the words "Madam Rothschild" and her delicate body trembled slightly, she turned around and said quietly: "I am afraid that I can't control myself too close to you, Your Highness the Western King."

Xiao Yungui sat back on the sofa, got two glasses of brandy, drank his glass in one go, and then sighed and asked, "Is he good to you?"

Li Xuanji also sat opposite him, but did not lift the wine glass, but just said softly: "He is very nice to me."

The two of them were silenced for a long time, and in the end, Xiao Yungui mustered up the courage to interrupt the silence: "Xuan Ji, I want you to come back to me!"

"Impossible, I'm someone else's wife..."

"But you don't love him, right?"

"He is my husband!"

"You are cheating on yourself!"

“What’s the point of saying this now?”

After the two of them were talking fiercely, there was another silence, and then Xiao Yungui broke the silence: "Your brother was captured by us, and now he is in Shanghai. I think you can meet him."

"Thank you..." Li Xuanji lowered her head and said softly: "I can only see him, and I can't have any other requirements, right?"

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "As a Han man, he helped the evildoer and did a lot of wrong things. I cannot let him go for personal gain. He will accept the trial of the court."

Li Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "It's good. If you take it seriously, I don't know how to repay you as a favor."

Xiao Yungui suddenly stood up, grabbed Li Xuanji's jade hand and shouted: "As long as you come back to me, I can be favored, I can let your brother go!"

Li Xuanji shrank back in panic, but could not open Xiao Yungui's big hand and looked at him miserably, "How can you depose your public because of your personal status? As an emperor, you should not raise troops because of anger. You should not be trapped in love. I don't want you to be favored. You must know that it is difficult to stop the flooding of water. Why do you have to worry about yourself?"

Xiao Yungui pulled Li Xuanji into his arms and said lightly: "I will rule the world in the future, the earth is at my feet, the wind and clouds change color because of me, and everything in the world is up to me. So I will let the person I like beside you forever!"

"It is because you are the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and because you will rule the world in the future. It is because you will control the world in the future that I will never be able to stay by your side!" Li Xuanji suddenly broke free and said with tears in his eyes: "Where does the emperor have true love? Now Clifford treats me at least wholeheartedly. What can you give me? What about the Western King's Lady? What should she do? What about the Heavenly Kingdom? Will you offend Clifford's family for me? The Heavenly Kingdom will be in trouble because of this! You are the Western King of the Heavenly Kingdom, not alone! I left because of this reason, but now it is still because of this reason. Unless you give up the Western King's position, I can go far away with you! Can you give up the Western King's position?!"

Xiao Yungui let go of his hand in a daze, sat back on the sofa, looked at Li Xuanji mutely for a while before saying, "Then what are you doing when you come back?"

Li Xuanji sighed softly and said, "This is my hometown. Of course I want to come back and see. His Highness the King of the West, you need your approval if you don't."

Xiao Yungui lit a Xiaodao brand cigarette in depressed, took a sip and said, "Do you need me to help?"

Li Xuanji slowly shook her head and said, "I'm very happy that you can make me see my brother, thank you."

Xiao Yungui suddenly snatched out the cigarette butt, and said unwillingly: "Xuan Ji, is it really irreversible?"

The tears in Li Xuanji's bright eyes were like shining pearls. She smiled with tears in her tears and said, "You continue to be your Western King, and I will be my Mrs. Rothschild. Since fate has been arranged like this, why bother me? Even if you are in a high position in the future, you will find that many things cannot really do whatever you want. Since that's the case, why not stop? Wouldn't it be better for each other to hide the other in their hearts?"

After drinking the brandy with big mouthfuls, Xiao Yungui felt that the effect of wine was so beautiful. After drinking the brandy with big glass, he slowly stood up and stretched out his right hand and said, "Madam, I will arrange for you to meet your brother as soon as possible. I will have someone to pick you up and wish you happiness." After that, he turned around and took big steps and left without looking back, leaving only Li Xuanji wrapped his arms around his hands, tears flowing down like a fountain, and his teeth bit his red lips tightly, but he saw bright red blood flowing down.

After leaving the Licha Hotel, Xiao Yungui didn't know how he returned to the Xiwang Villa in Shanghai. Then he got drunk. After waking up, he took a cold shower in the cold weather. Then he woke up and laughed secretly: "Xiao Yungui, Xiao Yungui, why are you not the love saint? As Xuan Ji said, how can you get love if you can't let go of power? Is it worthy of a woman?"

On the third day, Xiao Yungui arranged for someone to pick up Li Xuanji to the Shanghai prisoner-of-war camp to meet Li Chong. Li Xuanji happily went there. The Shanghai prisoner-of-war camp imprisoned dozens of senior Qing army generals, and hundreds of ordinary Qing army prisoners, who were all dead and hard-working elements who were unwilling to surrender. Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to conquer Guangdong and Guangxi, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ordered that no more be killed or abused prisoners. The prisoner-of-war camp was established in various places to facilitate centralized management and centralized transformation.

In the reception room of the prisoner camp, Li Xuanji saw Li Chong in prison uniform. His hands and feet were wearing heavy shackles and his braids were cut off. He had not shaved his forehead for a long time and began to grow hair that had grown inch. His beard had not shaved for a long time. Although he looked very haggard, his limbs were still healthy and there was no sign of being beaten.

"Brother, are you okay?" Li Xuanji felt relieved when he saw his brother's appearance.

Li Chong smiled bitterly, raised the heavy shackles on his hand and said, "How good can the prisoner be? I'm just waiting for when to pull him out and behead him."

Li Xuanji couldn't help crying: "If I had known that today, why did you have to kill my parents? They were all killed by the Qing army. No wonder you would have such an end."

Li Chong raised his head and sneered rebelliously: "Are you laughing at me when you come here? Are you filial to your parents? If you are filial to your parents, you will not marry a foreign devil! You will not watch your elder brother beheaded by hair! Then our Li family will be defeated!"

Li Xuanji just cried and said, "You have never regretted it so far. Do you think you ended up like this? Will I feel better as a sister?"

Li Chong sneered: "You wish your elder brother would die. Anyway, your last relative in this world has left, and you can do whatever you want."

Li Xuanji said with some anger: "Brother, how could you say that?"

Li Chong snorted and said, "What should I say if I don't say that? Will you save me? If not, I will teach you a lesson here!"

Li Xuanji stared at Li Chong in a daze. How could the gentle and elegant eldest brother become like this? After a long time, Li Xuanji sighed and said, "I can't save you, please do it yourself." After that, he turned around and was about to leave. Li Chong said anxiously: "Girl, my eldest brother's words were heavier. Don't leave."

Li Xuanji said lightly: "What else is there to wish? I can do it for you."

Li Chong said with a sad face: "Big sister. Are you really watching the prince die like this?" Following Li Chong, he said with expectation and praying, "Big sister, I heard that your husband is a big man in the UK. If you ask him to save the prince, it really doesn't work. Isn't Taiping Xiwang also your old appearance? If you go and beg him, if it really doesn't work, just stay with him for a few nights, maybe..."

Speaking of this, with a bang, Li Xuanji slapped Li Chong angrily, and then said angrily: "You are still not a human being, you actually say such words! I don't have you, my brother!" After that, he turned around and left.

When he walked out of the prisoner-of-war camp, Li Xuanji could no longer support him when he walked to the foot of the wall. He held the wall and covered his face and started crying. His distress towards the King of the West and his disappointment with his elder brother surged in his heart. Tears rushed out, as if he was about to cry out all the sadness of the past few days.

At this moment, a carriage stopped by the road, walked down alone, handed a piece of silk, and said softly: "Are you wronged?"

Li Xuanji raised her head and was slightly surprised. This person was her husband Clifford. A woman always wanted to find a shoulder at this time, so she leaned into her husband's arm and burst into tears.

Clifford hugged his wife gently, not admonishing her, but just hugged her quietly, and waited for her crying to stop before he said softly: "Don't worry, I know that your brother has become a prisoner of the Taiping Army, and I will rescue him."

Li Xuanji let out a soft voice and sobbed, "Clifford, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not agree, you don't have to..."

Clifford smiled slightly and said, "The Western King of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has agreed. I will pay a redemption. Today I am here to go through some procedures. You can take the bus back first, and I will bring your brother back later."

Although Li Xuanji hated his elder brother, the man was still his elder brother after all. He hesitated for a moment and nodded. At this time, Li Xuanji discovered that there was someone standing beside Clifford, but he was the Consul Aliguo of the British Consulate.

A Liguo nodded slightly to Li Xuanji. Li Xuanji blushed and replied with a lady gift, and then got on the carriage and went back to the hotel.

Seeing the carriage leaving, Aliguo stood beside Clifford and whispered: "I didn't expect that the person in the north who asked us to save us was the wife's biological brother. But I couldn't figure out that one brother was from the Qing Dynasty and a sister joined the Taiping Army."

Clifford smiled and said, "In Chinese terms, this is a favor. As for the factional differences, it is normal to hear that the consul's wife also believes in Islam rather than Christians?"

A Liguo laughed in silence and said, "Let's go, go and go through the release procedures for our Mr. Li. Your wife is still waiting for the reunion of her relatives..." (To be continued...)
