Chapter 228: Want Her or Me?
Chapter 229: If you want her or me
Emperor Ze was speechless. Dongfang Xia Lan pointed at Lixia and asked Gu Du: "I told you in person, do you want her or me?"
Gu Du scolded: "Rareless!"
Dongfang Xia Lan shouted: "I was so arrogant! I am their aunt, I am an elder, I was so arrogant!"
Gu Du frowned and said, "Don't mess around."
Dongfang Xia Lan shouted: "You are my husband, shouldn't you think about me first? You don't even care about your own wife and children. Who can you control? Even if you can control others, you are just a villain who is greedy for fame and fortune! Besides, why did you betray the Lingguo and invest in the Zeguo? Isn't it for Jin Lan? Why did you lose your heart when you hit me?"
Just as Gu Du was about to open his mouth, Dongfang Xia Lan rushed to shout again: "Don't tell me about the people of the country. Without you, those people will still be alive! Don't say how much love you owe Lixia. You are wearing strong and holding sharp points for the country. After ten years of fighting, you will pay off any more love!"
Gu Du raised his hand in anger, Dongfang Xia Lan raised her face to meet her, shouting: "You beat me! Unless you beat me to death, don't want me to stop!"
Zedi and Lixia both looked embarrassed, and they could not avoid it, nor did they know what to say to persuade them.
Gu Du sighed and saluted Emperor Ze and said, "Please take your leave."
Zedi quickly responded: "Accurate."
Gu Du pulled Dongfang Xia Lan and left. Dongfang Xia Lan turned around and stared at Li Xia and shouted, "He is my husband! If he dies, what will happen to me and my children? You are afraid that Zeguo will cause civil strife and you want your mother to be in the world. All of this is up to you, but you can't exchange my husband's life!"
Li Xia stood up and said loudly: "I don't have one!"
Dongfang Xia Lan's voice came from outside the hall: "Do you know best if you have a daughter who is married! She is poured out of the pot... um..."
Gu Du had no choice but to hold her tightly with one hand, cover her mouth with the other, and glared at her and scolded: "Have you made enough trouble?"
Dongfang Xialan closed her eyes and cried in a muffled voice. Gu Du quickly let go of the hand covering her mouth and hugged her tightly in his arms. Dongfang Xialan's sharp cry echoed throughout the palace.
In the inner hall, Li Xia was also crying like rain. She remembered the sleepless embroidered quilts for Gu Du and Jin Lan, the heart-wrenching instructions of Jin Lan, and the countless days and nights, grinding with Gu Du…
Once upon a time, Gu Du was her life, and her god, even if she married Emperor Ze, it was for Gu Du.
But before she knew it, Gu Du no longer occupied the most important position in her heart. Even though she knew this was a trap set by the Spirit Emperor, what she thought of first was the stability of Zeguo and the imperial power of Zeguo.
It’s not that Dongfang Xia Lan said that his daughter who was married and poured water from a basin of water. No matter how close his brother is, he will never be able to kiss his husband.
The entire palace was silent, and even the patrol guards deliberately took light steps, and walked away from Gu Du and the others.
Dongfang Xialan cried for nearly half a quarter of an hour, lost her strength and her voice gradually faded. Gu Ducai said softly in her ear: "Of course I want you and the children. If I want Li Xia, why bother marrying you?"
"Yeah." Dongfang Xia Lan agreed aggrievedly, still thrusting.
Gu Ducoued, "Okay, I've made trouble and cried. Let's go home first, okay?"
"Yeah." Dongfang Xia Lan agreed, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and followed Gu Du away.
In the inner hall, Li Xia was crying so hard that she couldn't help but feel angry. The tears wet the clothes on Zedi Ze's chest. When the wind blows in the hall, it feels cool.
Emperor Ze felt comforted, and understood Li Xia's sorrow and guilt. He still remembered that when he first met, Li Xia pressed the handle of the knife with his hands and his eyes were cold. It seemed that as long as one sentence was inappropriate, he would draw his sword and chop him.
Emperor Ze knew even more that the reason why Li Xia was willing to marry him was half the more because Gu Du could monopolize the power so that he could integrate the power of Zeguo against Lingguo and avenge Jin Lan.
However, time has changed, things have changed, and brothers have never been married to their husbands. Li Xia is no longer the junior sister beside Gu Du who obeys the orders, but the real Queen Xia.
But Zedi didn't know how to persuade Lixia, so he could only hold her and let her cry.
Finally, Li Xia's crying stopped, and she was piling on his shoulder and gasping tiredly. Zedi put his face on her face and said softly: "National uncle will not blame you, don't be angry with Xia Lan. She is still young and she is spoiled at home. National uncle also spoiled her. Please let her."
Li Xia sighed and said, "I'm not angry. I have different positions and no one is wrong. This matter is difficult to deal with. The envoys of Lingguo will arrive in the imperial city tomorrow. Let's see how my brother decides."
Zedi nodded and replied: "Okay."
After pausing for a moment, Li Xia said again: "Remember, this time you must not make your own decisions. Everything will follow my brother's wishes. My brother told me that a benevolent monarch and sage know the suffering of the people, but he may not know how to make tricks and tricks. If the matter is not done well this time, my brother will resign and retire, and you and I will never find him again."
Zedi nodded again and replied, "I've recorded it."
Back at the uncle's mansion, Gu Du hugged Dongfang Xia Lan and sat on the edge of the bed, saying, "My wife, let's go. I don't care about Lixia, let alone Zeguo. Now the sea is open. Let's go out to sea to find a suitable place to live."
Dongfang Xia Lan glared at him viciously and scolded: "If you have something to say, just say it! My parents are still there, Jueling Sect is still there, what sea is there?"
Gu Du said with a careful look: "Don't be angry, listen to me first. Even if I resign and retire, the Spirit Emperor will not be relieved. In fact, as long as I don't die, he will never be relieved, right?"
Dongfang Xialan reached out and pinched the flesh on his waist and twisted it hard.
Gu Du grinned and shouted: "It hurts! It hurts! Let go! Let go!"
Dongfang Xia Lan let go, shoved him, and scolded: "Go up there and sit down!"
Gu Du rubbed his waist and walked to the table to sit down, looked at her and said, "I'm telling the truth. You said you had to go to Mo Xuan, why? Isn't it just for the Jueling Sect? Right?"
Dongfang Xia Lan jumped up, stepped forward to Gu Du, and raised her hand to hit him.
Gu Du quickly held her arm and said innocently: "What are you doing? Don't we have to explain the matter clearly? What should we do in the future? Is it over this unclear way?"
Dongfang Xia Lan flattened her mouth and tears fell down instantly. Gu Du quickly stood up and hugged her and coaxed her, "Don't cry, I really am not trying to abdicate you. I am the national uncle. I have been commanding the army for ten years. Even if I want to resign, I have to have an explanation, right?"
Dongfang Xia Lan stomped her feet and shouted, "Are you really trying to refute me? What do you mean by looking for Mo Xuan? Isn't it that I can take risks for Jueling Sect but not let you take risks for Zeguo? You just want to say, I can do anything, but I won't do it if you change it?"
