Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

To ensure Li Yuanqi's safety, the old emperor specially appointed Lian Jinghuai and his son to accompany him to the battlefield.

The situation was urgent, and Li Yuanqi was to set off the next day. But once Li Yuanqi and the Lian family left, the capital would fall to Qi Wangde and Li Yuanyi.

On their way home after court, the four men fell silent.

Finally, Lian Yicheng spoke first: "Have you figured out how to explain this to Little Sister?"

“No need to explain, I will take her with me!” Li Yuanqi said firmly and decisively.

Hearing Li Yuanqi say this, Lian Yicheng's face, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally showed a slight smile.

"To be honest, I was quite conflicted when His Highness volunteered for battle today."

As the older brother, I actually blame His Highness! But as a general of the Great Sheng Dynasty, I admire His Highness's sacrifice.

After saying this, Lian Yicheng turned to look at Li Yuanqi: "But now, whether as an elder brother or as a general, Your Highness's decision has won me over!"

The four men exchanged smiles, and even the old general, Lian Jinghuai, laughed heartily, saying with a flourish:

"Last time, our whole family fled; this time, our whole family is going into battle!"

"Alright!" the three juniors responded in unison, and then the whip cracked, and the four steeds galloped away.

Inside the General's Mansion

"What did you say? You're not coming with us?" Li Yuanqi had just finished announcing the four people's decision when Lian Rongrong refused.

Seeing Li Yuanqi so agitated, Lian Rongrong quickly stepped forward and gently comforted him.

"It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's that I can't go with you! Yuanqi, Father Emperor is still in the capital!"

If we all leave, what will happen to Father? I know you volunteered for the cause of the people of Dasheng.

If Li Yuanyi and Qi Wangde are released, they will inevitably raise an army and establish their own independent state. At that time, the Great Sheng Dynasty will be divided in two, and it will ultimately be the people of the world who suffer.

Therefore, your decision and that of your father and brothers are correct. I support you! However, the current situation is that if you leave, Li Yuanyi may very well take the opportunity to seize the capital.

He wants to become emperor, and the first person he needs to eliminate is my father! I know what my father means to you, so I stayed to protect him and the innocent people in the capital.

"I've already thought things through with Father. With Ruan Nianzhi here, and having kept An Ye and the others around as well."

If a palace coup were to occur, they would protect their father and help him escape through the secret passage. You should remember that secret passage leads directly outside the city.

We will leave an elite force outside the city to provide support, so you need not worry about Father's safety!

Lian Rongrong smiled and shook her head: "Li Yuanqi, you know better than anyone that whether I leave or not will have completely different outcomes!"

Li Yuanqi certainly understood Lian Rongrong's meaning, and he was also well aware that once the entire Lian family went to war with the army, the final result would definitely be to accelerate Li Yuanyi's rebellion.

Even if Lianjia doesn't leave, will Li Yuanyi give up his rebellion? It's only a matter of time.

"Lian Rongrong, do you know that if you stay in Kyoto, you'll be the most dangerous person there!"

“I know, I’m not stupid! My husband loves me so much, they will definitely try to take me down and force you to submit.”

But don't forget, your wife is no ordinary woman. I have the West Tower, and the secret guards you left behind.

I have Mingyue Hall, Father Emperor, and Little White too! Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself.

If all else fails, I'll just hide in my spatial dimension with my father. Anyway, no one but you can enter my space.

Even Li Yuanyi and Qi Wangde can't do anything to me!

Seeing that Li Yuanqi's complexion was still very bad, Lian Rongrong got up and took two steps toward him.

"For the sake of your ability to fight without distractions, and for the sake of the situation in Kyoto, I really cannot leave!"

"Lian Rongrong, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Li Yuanqi's eyes were filled with suppressed anger, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

At a time like this, asking him to leave his beloved woman here is harder than killing him.

But Li Yuanqi knew perfectly well that every word Lian Rongrong said was true!

"Li Yuanqi, the lives of the people of the world are precious, are they not precious in the capital as well?"

Stop being stubborn! You know this is the best choice!

"I don't know! All I know is that you have to stay by my side! Lian Rongrong, I have never asked anyone for anything in my life, but this time is the last time."

I beg you, come with me!

"Li Yuanqi, just this once, I cannot agree to your request!"

The sounds of their argument reached outside, arousing the curiosity of the passing servants.

Since the prince and princess got married, they had never quarreled so fiercely.

Lin Chuyue, who had just finished speaking with Lian Yijun, also came over upon hearing the noise. After listening to only a couple of sentences, Lin Chuyue had a general idea of ​​what the two were arguing about.

The knocking gave Lian Rongrong a brief respite.

But Li Yuanqi, extremely annoyed, shouted at the door, "Get out!"

Lin Chuyue was taken aback; she had never been treated like this before. But thinking of how furious the person inside must be, she could only smile helplessly.

"At home, I'm the eldest sister-in-law. Even if Your Highness is a prince, you can't just tell me to get out of here!"

Lin Chuyue pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Li Yuanqi felt a little embarrassed. He composed himself and said apologetically, "I didn't know you were my sister-in-law. Please don't take offense!"

"Don't be offended, I know His Highness is in a bad mood! Why don't you go and have a chat with your elder brother? He's not in a good mood either!"

“Sister-in-law, you…” Li Yuanqi looked at Lin Chuyue with a helpless expression, the latter’s words already showing her position.

The women in this Lian family are all so stubborn!

"In this round, I'm on Rongrong's side, and Your Highness, rest assured, I will always stay by Rongrong's side."

I have already discussed it with your elder brother. He will leave behind two thousand elite troops, and defending the capital should not be a problem.

Moreover, with us mediating in the capital, the county lord probably won't rebel so easily. Besides, Mother feels the same way!

"You're going to war, so what's the point of bringing your female family members along?"

"Big brother agreed?" Lian Rongrong secretly glanced at Li Yuanqi and asked deliberately.

"Does my decision, Lin Chuyue, need his approval?"

"You're all crazy! Do whatever you want!" Li Yuanqi was furious, flung his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Only the two sisters-in-law remained in the room, and even Rongrong's eyes dimmed instantly.

"Little sister, don't blame him, he just cares about you too much!"

"Of course I know. Sister-in-law, do you know? Actually, I really wanted to run away with him!"

But I know that if the capital falls and my father is killed, he will be the one who regrets it for the rest of his life!

"With us here, that kind of thing won't happen!"

As night fell, Lian Rongrong waited in the bedroom, but Li Yuanqi did not return for a long time.

"Where is Prince Qi? Is he still in his study?" Lian Rongrong asked Qiu Ju, who was standing beside her.

"Hmm, still in the study! It seems the prince is truly angry this time."

Lian Rongrong sighed with a wry smile, then slowly stood up and said softly:

"He's such a grown man, still holding a grudge! Fine, go and coax him!"

With Li Yuanqi's keen hearing, he naturally heard Lian Rongrong enter the study.

But this guy was so angry that he simply turned his back and refused to look at the heartbreaking woman.

However, Lian Rongrong didn't care about such a little trick. She slowly walked behind Li Yuanqi and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.

"You're setting off for war tomorrow, are you going to spend tonight sulking with me?"

Lian Rongrong's voice softened Li Yuanqi's heart.

But the thought of this woman insisting on leaving him in such a dangerous place made Li Yuanqi want to blame her.

Seeing that Li Yuanqi remained unmoved, Lian Rongrong tilted her head slightly and whispered, "You really won't talk to me?"

Li Yuanqi still did not respond.

"If you don't pay attention to me, I'm leaving!" Lian Rongrong let go of her hand and took two steps back.

"Am I really leaving?" Lian Rongrong glanced at Li Yuanqi's retreating figure, then turned and walked towards the door.

Just as Lian Rongrong's hand was about to touch the study door, Li Yuanqi's heavy hand suddenly pressed the door firmly down.

Li Yuanqi grabbed Lian Rongrong's arm with his left hand and pulled her into his arms with a force.

"What exactly do you want from me? Lian Rongrong, I'm going crazy!"

Looking at Li Yuanqi's bloodshot eyes, Lian Rongrong felt a pang of heartache. She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Li Yuanqi's lips.

"Li Yuanqi, I swear, I will wait for you to come back safely!"

A frenzied kiss, accompanied by Li Yuanqi's domineering aura, swept over them.

Lian Rongrong felt like she was suffocating, but she didn't want to push him away. At this moment, she just wanted to merge into his body.

More dedicated and more intense than ever before.
