Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Page 272

You can be frank in front of your little emperor.

You can also tell her that I know she is a girl.

At the same time, you can also tell her that I will not do anything to her with this secret!

Although I, Li Chengyuan, am not considered a gentleman, I will not use these things to make a fuss about the State of Qi.

Even if one day in the future I attack the State of Qi, I will only use the normal means of fighting between two countries!

Of course, in order to make you little emperor believe my sincerity.

Tell her that I am willing to use this secret to keep you safe.

As long as she doesn't make things difficult for you, I promise not to let anyone else from Qing Country know about this except me!"

"Chengyuan..."

Si Lili was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

Li Chengyuan really considered her wholeheartedly.

It can be said that Li Chengyuan did almost everything he could for her!

Li Chengyuan also took into consideration the things that she had considered herself.

Li Chengyuan also took into consideration things that she had not considered.

Li Chengyuan is a prince, and he really loves her deeply for treating her like this!

At this moment, Si Lili felt that meeting Li Chengyuan was the luckiest thing in her life.

......

The next day, at the beginning of the fifth watch (three o'clock in the morning).

After Li Chengyuan and Si Lili tidied their clothes, they walked out of the carriage.

The diplomatic convoy will enter Shangjing tomorrow.

By then, the capital city would be full of Jinyiwei spies, and Li Chengyuan didn't want to expose the fact that Si Lili was with him.

After all, so far, no one can be sure that Si Lili is with him.

Even if someone suspects it, there is no evidence.

So when they were at the border before, Li Chengyuan did not hand Si Lili over to those maids.

Some things can be kept tacitly, but cannot be made public.

Therefore, in order not to expose her identity, Si Lili has to leave overnight.

Of course, Li Chengyuan would not let her go alone.

Li Chengyuan brought Si Lili to Nangong's carriage and knocked on the door, saying, "Shu Xiu, come out!"

In the carriage, Shu Xiu, who was still suffering from insomnia, instantly became alert when she heard Li Chengyuan calling her, and immediately got up and got out of the carriage.

After Shu Xiu got off the car, Li Chengyuan introduced Si Lili to her.

"This is Si Lili, my future princess.

Starting now, I will give you a task!"

Shu Xiu glanced at Si Lili, then immediately said seriously, "Your Highness, please give your orders!"

"Well, from now on, you will follow Lili, and your task is to protect Lili's safety.

Also, you are not allowed to act on your own. Your role is to be Lili's personal bodyguard. In everything you do, you must follow Lili's lead and obey her. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Shu Xiu looked at Si Lili with some envy, then nodded without hesitation and said, "As you command!"

Seeing Shu Xiu agree without hesitation, Li Chengyuan's eyes finally softened.

She reached out, gently stroked Shu Xiu's cheek, and said softly, "I know what you mean, but your mind is too complicated and needs to be tempered.

This time is a test for you.

If you can successfully protect Lili, when I take her back in the future, I will let you stay with me forever. Do you understand?"

When Shu Xiu heard this, her entire face lit up. She breathed a sigh of relief from within, regaining her lively personality. She said happily, "I understand. Your Highness, don't worry. Even if Shu Xiu has to risk her life, she will protect the princess!"

"Nonsense!" Li Chengyuan feigned anger and said, "You are also very important to me. Without my permission, you are also not allowed to do anything. Do you understand?"

When Shu Xiu heard this, the smile on her face became even happier, and even a hint of sweetness arose in her heart. Shu Xiu was so easy to coax now.

"Yes! Shu Xiu will obey your Highness!"

"Yeah!" Li Chengyuan nodded in satisfaction, then said to the two women, "You two should get to know each other. I'll go see Duoduo!"

After saying that, Li Chengyuan and Si Lili kissed each other goodbye and headed towards a tent not far away.

......

Because the carriage was occupied by Li Chengyuan tonight, Haitang Duoduo had to sleep in the tent.

However, when Li Chengyuan arrived at the door, he found Haitang Duoduo already waiting for him at the tent entrance!

Chapter 190 Si Lili finally leaves! Intercept Haitang Duoduo's surprise reward!

"Is everything packed?"

At the door of the tent, Li Chengyuan asked Haitang Duoduo who was yawning.

"What do I have to clean?" Haitang Duoduo rubbed her face, perking up a bit. Then, while fixing her hair, she said, "You know what, that fruit wine of yours is really magical. My skin is much softer now!"

"You said I was a liar before~!" Li Chengyuan laughed.

Haitang Duoduo rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault for being short-sighted, okay? Why are you so - vindictive?"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "I don't hold a grudge, I just wanted to tease you!"

"Tsk!" Haitang Duoduo pouted and said, "Oh, by the way, you promised me before that you would send me a batch of beauty-enhancing fruit wine and exquisite jade tea. Does that still count?"

"Of course!" Li Chengyuan said affirmatively: "Don't worry, I will come to you when I get to Shangjing City and have some free time.

You still owe me a meal!

Remember to buy more food, I have a big appetite!"

"I know!" Haitang Duoduo's eyes were full of disgust, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

She approached Li Chengyuan, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Although you are petty, cunning, lustful, shameless, talkative, and full of bad intentions, you also have many advantages. For example, you are very generous, which I admire!

So even though it's a little reluctant, I'm still willing to be friends with you!"

Li Chengyuan's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly, "So... you pointed out a bunch of my shortcomings, and in the end, the only thing you praised was my strengths and called me a sucker? Is that how everyone in Northern Qi compliments others?"

Haitang Duoduo pursed her lips, suppressing a smile as she said, "Just be content. Didn't I at least praise you? Besides, which of those shortcomings I mentioned was wrong?"

"Haha!" Li Chengyuan said seriously, "I don't admit anything you said except that you were lustful!

Especially those who are insidious, cunning and full of bad intentions, they have nothing to do with me!

Throughout the entire Qing Kingdom, who doesn't know that I, Li Chengyuan, am an honest man? "

"You? An honest man??" Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but laugh out loud, her face speechless. "If you were an honest man, there would be no treacherous or cunning people in this world. I was just about to ask you, what do you want to do by holding Sean captive?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan replied seriously, "I'm doing this for your own good!"

"???" Haitang Duoduo's face was full of questions: "For my own good?"

"Yeah!" Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "Look! If I give Sean to the Jinyiwei, you will definitely go to great lengths to kill Sean. That will only cause you trouble!

Now is great. If I don't let Sean go, you won't have the chance to kill him, and you won't have to worry about it. I'm saving you trouble!"

"......." Haitang Duoduo said unhappily, "Then I should thank you, right?"

"That's not necessary!" Li Chengyuan said with a smile: "We are friends, it's my duty to help you!"

Haitang Duoduo curled her lips, speechless and helpless, "Honestly, chatting with you is really tiring. You never tell the truth!"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "You are wrong, Duoduo. It's not that I don't speak the truth, but you have a complicated mind. So no matter what I say, you suspect I have ulterior motives.

If you talk to me sincerely, I will definitely not be perfunctory with you!"

Haitang Duoduo was stunned. Although she didn't want to admit it, it seemed that... what this guy said did make sense.

For such a long time, she had indeed been trying to get information from Li Chengyuan with ulterior motives.

As an "enemy", it was normal for Li Chengyuan to be perfunctory to her. It was even considered a kindness to her that Li Chengyuan did not set a trap for her.

And even so, Li Chengyuan is still willing to be friends with her.

Not only did he promise her many priceless gifts, he also treated her to delicious food and drinks for many days, really treating her like a close friend.

In comparison, she was a bit "excessive".

Thinking of this, Haitang Duoduo's eyes couldn't help but soften, and she looked at Li Chengyuan seriously and said:

"Okay, you're right! I have ulterior motives this time.

So, I promise, next time you come to me, I will definitely not test you again!"

Li Chengyuan also replied: "Then I promise that I will not give you any perfunctory advice when the time comes. I will tell you what I have to say!"

"It's a deal then?" Haitang Duoduo said as she stretched out her hand.

Li Chengyuan took a look, smiled and clapped his hands with Haitang Duoduo.

"A word is settled!"

Haitang Duoduo smiled slightly.

"Okay, let's go first. See you in the capital!"

After saying that, Haitang Duoduo turned around gracefully and went to meet Si Lili.

Li Chengyuan also followed and came in front of Si Lili, handing her a long small box.
