But no matter what, traveling through Qi will be faster.
About eight days later, they arrived in Shangjing City.
That night, because they missed the post station, they had to rest in the wild.
The envoys from Qi and Qing set up camp separately.
Li Chengyuan ate alone in Qi's tent tonight.
After all, I have been eating it for many days in a row.
Having fulfilled all the necessary courtesies, Li Chengyuan was too lazy to continue playing along with them.
...
In the carriage.
The one who will be dining with Li Chengyuan tonight is Si Lili, and she is the only one there!
Si Lili is in a bad mood tonight.
Li Chengyuan's appetite is also average.
So the two of them took a quick bite and ended the dinner.
After dinner, Si Lili took the initiative to throw herself into Li Chengyuan's arms.
Holding Li Chengyuan tightly, he did not let go.
Li Chengyuan gently stroked Si Lili's pretty face, feeling extremely reluctant to let her go.
It can be said that among the women, Si Lili is definitely the woman who impressed him the most and is also one of the women he finds most difficult to let go of.
Now that they are about to be separated for a while, Li Chengyuan is naturally very reluctant.
Not to mention Si Lili.
If she hadn't still had her sanity, she would have wanted to beg Li Chengyuan to take her back to Qing Kingdom.
But Si Lili can't leave, she has her own reasons for staying.
Si Lili had already confessed her life story to Li Chengyuan.
Li Chengyuan has no idea about Si Lili's background in the novel.
But in reality, Si Lili's real name is Li Lisi, and she is indeed a descendant of the Nanqing royal family.
However, Si Lili's royal bloodline is extremely rare, almost non-existent.
In fact, Si Lili’s grandfather was Prince Nanqing, but he was not a direct descendant, not even a collateral line.
Si Lili's ancestors were relatives of the founding monarch of Qing State, and because he had made great contributions to the founding of the country, he was named a prince.
The throne was passed down to Grandpa Si Lili's generation after many generations!
So, Si Lili and Li Chengyuan are not related by blood, they just have the same surname Li!
However, Si Lili's grandfather did participate in the struggle for the throne, which led to the destruction of the entire family.
This matter is related to Emperor Qing, so strictly speaking, Emperor Qing and Si Lili have a grudge.
But the right and wrong of this kind of grudge has long been unclear.
Si Lili did not, or did not dare to, have any thoughts of revenge.
Because of Emperor Qing's purge, she fled to Qi with her brother.
Just when he was about to starve to death, he met Zhan Doudou who was on a secret tour.
Zhan Doudou felt pity for them and brought them back to the palace.
Later, Zhan Doudou and Si Lili developed a deep relationship.
However, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi did not like Zhan Doudou and Si Lili to have too close a relationship, so in order not to embarrass Zhan Doudou, she took the initiative to propose to go to Qing Kingdom as a spy.
So she made the trip to Qingguo.
The reason why she insisted on returning to Qi was not only because she felt a sense of belonging to Qi.
Moreover, because her younger brother has always been controlled by the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, she cannot betray Northern Qi even for her brother.
Because Li Chengyuan knew all this, he never told Si Lili many secrets, just to prevent Si Lili from being put in a dilemma by the Queen Mother of Northern Qi's interrogation!
Li Chengyuan even left Haitang Duoduo behind because he wanted to tell the Queen Mother of Northern Qi through her that Si Lili knew nothing, and that he valued Si Lili very much, and warned the Queen Mother of Northern Qi not to make things difficult for Si Lili!
Of course, even if he didn't do this, the young emperor of Northern Qi would be able to protect Si Lili. Li Chengyuan was just giving Si Lili an extra insurance just in case.
......
Because the carriage is specially made, the voices talking inside cannot be heard outside.
So Li Chengyuan never lived in a tent, preferring to squeeze in a carriage.
In the carriage, Li Chengyuan held Si Lili in his arms and kept comforting her.
But this time, no matter how Li Chengyuan comforted her, Si Lili seemed to be in a bad mood and couldn't cheer up.
Seeing this, Li Chengyuan asked with concern, "Lili, are you worried about something?"
Si Lili bit her lip, her face full of confusion.
She did have something on her mind, but she didn't know how to tell Li Chengyuan.
Seeing this, Li Chengyuan did not urge Si Lili, but kept caressing her and comforting her.
Finally, Si Lili couldn't stand the torment in her heart any longer. She looked up at Li Chengyuan and said pitifully, "Cheng...Chengyuan?"
This was the first time Si Lili called Li Chengyuan by his name!
Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, then he hugged Si Lili tighter and said softly, "Don't worry about it. Just tell me what's going on. You have to have faith in me!"
"It's just...I..." Si Lili bit her lip, and after struggling for a moment, she finally asked, "Chengyuan, if I make a mistake one day, will you give me a chance to explain?"
"Yes!" Li Chengyuan said, "Each of you is my beloved in my heart. Unless you make an unforgivable mistake, I will not give up on any of you easily!"
"Then..." Si Lili suddenly became extremely nervous, "What if I become someone else's concubine?"
Li Chengyuan's expression froze, and then he suddenly thought of something and laughed, "So that's what you're worried about!"
Li Chengyuan patted Si Lili's butt gently and chuckled, "You mean to say that you will be a concubine to your Qing Kingdom's young emperor?"
Si Lili was extremely nervous and had even prepared herself for Li Chengyuan's rage.
Si Lili knew very well how strong Li Chengyuan's possessiveness was towards them.
But she really didn't expect that Li Chengyuan would react like this after hearing this.
So she asked in great confusion: "Chengyuan, aren't you angry?"
"Um...how should I put it?" Li Chengyuan said with a smile, "If you become someone else's concubine, then it's not a question of whether I'll be angry or not. If anyone dares to steal my woman, I will chop him into pieces with my own hands and feed him to the dogs!"
Li Chengyuan almost gritted his teeth when he said this.
But Si Lili was not afraid at all when she heard it, instead she felt it was very sweet.
She had never thought of betraying Li Chengyuan, and Li Chengyuan's words proved that he cared about her.
But what Si Lili doesn't understand is...
"Then will it make any difference if I marry our Majesty?"
"Of course it's different!" Li Chengyuan smiled, lowered his head and kissed Si Lili, saying, "Because I know your little emperor is a girl, so I won't be angry!"
“!!!” Si Lili’s eyes widened in shock!
The reason why she was conflicted was that she could not tell Li Chengyuan that Zhan Doudou was a girl, because this was the biggest secret of Qi State, and if Si Lili told it, it would be considered treason.
She and Li Chengyuan have long been in sync with each other, and Li Chengyuan will not betray the Qing Kingdom because of her.
Li Chengyuan also tacitly agreed not to force her to betray the State of Qi.
This is also one of the reasons why Si Lili is so infatuated with Li Chengyuan, because Li Chengyuan truly loves her, protects her, and truly cares about her.
But Si Lili couldn't tell Li Chengyuan the secret that Zhan Doudou was a girl.
So Si Lili was worried that if she was named imperial concubine in the future, she was very afraid that Li Chengyuan would abandon her directly.
If that happened, Si Lili would feel worse than death.
But what the manager could not imagine was (bfbd), Li Chengyuan actually knew that Zhan Doudou was a girl, an absolute secret of Qi State!
This made Si Lili completely confused for a moment!
Seeing Si Lili's dazed expression, Li Chengyuan couldn't help but ask softly, "Why are you so shocked?
Don’t you know my abilities?
Since I dared to send you back, I must have considered your safety thoroughly.
Don't you think about it, if I didn't know Zhan Doudou was a girl, with my personality, would I let you come back? "
When Si Lili heard this, she was shocked and understood many things in an instant.
She asked why she always felt that Li Chengyuan was not particularly worried about her or cared about her, and she thought that Li Chengyuan was distracted.
Now she understood that it was not because Li Chengyuan did not value her, but because Li Chengyuan had already considered her affairs after her death clearly.
This made Si Lili's heart, which had been hanging in the balance, suddenly filled with warmth and emotion.
Moved by emotion, Si Lili took the initiative to move forward.
Li Chengyuan originally wanted to explain something to Si Lili, but he was interrupted before he could say a word.
Another round of whispering!
......
After a long while, Li Chengyuan hugged Si Lili and said softly:
"Lili, when you go back, no matter what your little emperor asks, you can answer truthfully.
Don't worry, I didn't tell you anything that I shouldn't tell you.
Whatever you know, you can tell!
So, you don't need to be embarrassed.
