For the two people who secretly fell in love with each other, time always passed too quickly, and Li Xiaoyao did not ask her to say goodbye.

Guo Da led the Xuancheng border army dressed by five thousand black armored cavalry to escort the palace team to pick up Li Xiaoyao. With the joy of the people of Xuancheng, he left Xuancheng in a mighty way.

In the luxurious carriage, Li Xiaoyao sat on the collapse of the bed and took out a yellowed letter.

According to Li Dequan, this was a letter from Empress Dowager Lu’s niece, Princess Zhiqing, who asked him to pass it on his behalf.

Li Xiaoyao shook his head, wondering why Princess Zhiqing, whom he had never met before, wrote a letter to him.

He suddenly felt inexplicably, and he opened the letter and looked at the content. In an instant, he was stunned by the contents of the letter.

"I live at the head of the river, and the monarch is at the end of the river. I miss you every day but don't see you, and drink the water of the river together..."

After reading it, Li Xiaoyao threw the letter out the window and smiled foolishly!

There is a Qingshui River in Xuancheng, but he cannot live by the river. What's more, Princess Zhiqing who wrote the letter is far away in the capital. Where did you come from drinking the river water together?

I still miss you every day but don’t see you?

Going to his sister is just making up!

"Stop!" The sound of Li Dequan's duck crowing came from outside the window, and the carriage stopped.

Li Dequan opened the curtain and got into the carriage, holding the letter paper that Li Xiaoyao had just thrown away, and smiled and said, "Prince, this is the letter that Princess Zhiqing wrote to you. It might have been a strong wind just now. He blew the letter outside the carriage, and the servant picked it up for you."

This old thing is really good at ripping it. He knew it was thrown away by himself, but he insisted on saying it was blown away by the wind.

But this just shows that Li Dequan's words are indeed smooth and he cannot be underestimated.

Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "I accidentally dropped the letter outside the window just now. I was about to stop the carriage and pick it up, but I didn't expect that Eunuch Li would help me pick it up. It's a blessing for Eunuch Li."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is what a servant should do." Li Dequan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't lose the letter from Princess Zhiqing to you next time."

When he said he lost four more words, Li Dequan's tone became slightly heavier.

This is giving Li Xiaoyao a hint.

Li Xiaoyao smiled with a clear understanding and said, "Don't worry, Princess Zhiqing is the niece of Empress Dowager Lu. How could I easily throw away the letter she gave me at will? It was just an accident just now."

"It's a surprise." Li Dequan smiled strangely, "Then the servant will not disturb the prince's rest."

"Eunuch Li, this time the journey back to Beijing is long. Just stay in the carriage and talk to me." Li Xiaoyao said.

"It's okay!" Li Dequan frowned and then opened the curtain and said to the servant who was driving the carriage: "Continue to go."

"Prince..." Li Dequan turned around and at the same time, Li Xiaoyao also spoke: "Eunuch Li..."

The two looked at each other and laughed, and Li Dequan said, "Prince, you talk first."

"Okay!" Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I wonder why Princess Zhiqing wants to write this letter to me?"

"Haha..." Li Dequan covered his mouth and chuckled: "The prince is a smart person. Can't you tell that this is Princess Zhiqing's expression of love for you?"

"Is this a love letter written by Princess Zhiqing to this king?" Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly, and a premonition arose in his heart.

"Prince, although I don't know the content of this letter, I know a little about your marriage with Princess Zhiqing." Li Dequan smiled, and at the same time he was also observing Li Xiaoyao's reaction carefully.

"Marriage?" Li Xiaoyao was shocked when he heard these two words, and looked at Li Dequan in surprise and asked, "When did I have a engagement with Princess Zhiqing? Why don't I know?"

Li Dequan smiled and said slowly: "Prince, this marriage was made by the Empress Dowager and Princess Zhiqing. After you ascend the throne, the Empress Dowager will personally host the wedding for you."

"Thank you for your kindness," Li Xiaoyao said with a slight smile.

He was not allowed to refuse this marriage.

Obviously, all this is under the control of Queen Mother Lu.

If Li Xiaoyao insists on not entering Beijing to ascend the throne, then Li Dequan will not give him this letter to Princess Zhiqing.

How could Empress Dowager Lu’s niece condescend to marry a idle prince?

If she wants to marry, she must marry the new King of Han. If Li Xiaoyao does not become King of Han, then he is not qualified to receive this letter at all.

This is a tacit transaction between smart people and smart people.

Li Xiaoyao was silent. Just as he agreed to go to Beijing, he encountered something that made him extremely disgusted.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of difficulties he would encounter next.

He looked at Li Dequan with a serious expression and smiled, "Eunuch Li, didn't you have something to say to me just now?"

"Oh!" Li Dequan smiled and said, "Prince, I just wanted to say to you, I have already told you."

"So, you and I are intimate about this matter!" Li Xiaoyao chuckled.

"How dare I? It's just the order of the Empress Dowager. I dare not ignore it." Li Dequan said.

"It is the Empress Dowager who feels sorry for me. Since my mother passed away, no one has ever cared about me so much. Eunuch Li, after returning to the capital, I will definitely kneel in person to thank the Empress Dowager for her kindness." Li Xiaoyao expressed his true feelings and said with emotion.

Li Dequan said with a smile on his face: "Prince, since you were demoted to Xuancheng by the First Emperor, the Empress Dowager has always cared about you in his heart. She is always worried about whether you have lived in Xuancheng? She is not used to living."

"Sometimes I will talk to you in front of the late emperor, but you also know the temper of the late emperor. The Queen Mother said all the good things, but she couldn't persuade the late emperor."

"Yes!" Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I remember this love for me by the Queen Mother. In the future, I will definitely be filial to her."

"It would be great if the prince has this kind of heart. When you become the prime minister in the future, become the King of Han, and marry Princess Zhiqing as the queen, it will be considered as fulfilling filial piety to the Empress Dowager." Li Dequan said affectionately.

"That's natural." Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Since Princess Zhiqing is the niece of the Empress Dowager, I am naturally willing to get married to her. In this way, I will kiss you more and more!"

"What the prince said!" Li Dequan nodded repeatedly and smiled.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Li Dequan with a smile on his face, but he had already greeted Empress Dowager Lu's ancestors one by one in his heart.

Although he didn't know what Queen Mother Lu was planning, he felt like a mirror in his heart. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.
