After the kidnapping incident, Adi no longer allowed Li Qingyou to go out alone, even with his servants. He could only go out with him.

Li Qingyou was very dissatisfied with this.

"Sister, I'm just worried about you." Adi buried her head in Li Qingyou's shoulder, her warm breath tickling her ears, and she suddenly remembered Princess Duanyang's words.

"Don't you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have?"

Li Qingyou was pretty sure she didn't. In her heart, Adi was her brother, but she couldn't explain the strange reactions that happened to her when he came near.

Her heartbeat would speed up inexplicably, and her nervous hairs would stand on end. She hadn't noticed this before, and she didn't have this strange reaction until what Princess Duanyang said.

Although she couldn't explain what this feeling was, it made her panic.

But, this is wrong.

Whether it's ethically or morally speaking.

Adi is her younger brother, and he is engaged.

The best way was for her to leave. When Adi came back that night, Li Qingyou brought up this matter, and Adi's face instantly became so gloomy that water dripped from his face.

"Sister, are you leaving me?" Adi tried his best to control himself, suppressing the anger in his eyes. He took a few deep breaths, and when he raised his eyes again, he had regained his gentleness. He pressed Li Qingyou's shoulders with both hands, "Why, but Adi did it?"

What made my sister angry?"

Of course there is none.

"No, you did a good job." Li Qingyou avoided Adi's eyes. The real problem was herself. She couldn't explain her feelings towards Adi.

She used to think that the relationship between them was just a simple brother-sister relationship, but recently it felt like something was gradually getting out of control, and this was the feeling she hated the most.

Not to mention that it is unacceptable for her to have such thoughts, and it is inconsistent with etiquette and law.

"Since I have done a good job, why did sister leave?" Adi pressed forward step by step, staring at Li Qingyou with icy eyes, trying to see clearly what she was thinking, "Didn't sister promise Adi that we should

Are we together for the rest of our lives?"

Li Qingyou, "..."

When did she say this?

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had said it before, but at that time she thought he was her sister. Besides, even if they were sisters, they couldn't be together for the rest of their lives. The younger sister would always get married.

"No, there is always a banquet in the world. No matter how good the relationship is, sooner or later we will break up." Li Qingyou tried to explain, but Adi didn't listen at all.

"Except for death, no one or anything can separate us." Adi said firmly and resolutely, he would never let her go in this life.

Li Qingyou simply didn't know what to say. She couldn't say that she felt something was wrong with her, but she wasn't sure about this idea. What was this?

"Brother, you heard what my sister said, you are the consort, you..." You will marry the princess in the future, what will happen if she is here then?

Furthermore, it can be clearly seen from Princess Duanyang's words and deeds that she does not like him.

"That's why." Adi breathed a sigh of relief, and then a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Sister, please relax, Adi is not a prince-in-law, and he will not be in the future."

Li Qingyou raised his head in astonishment and looked at his brother in disbelief. The emperor had personally issued the edict, how could he go back on his promise?

Soon Adi gave her the answer, "Princess Duanyang is in love with Second Young Master Qu. The Emperor has already withdrawn his order and re- betrothed Princess Duanyang to Second Young Master Qu."

Mr. Qu?

Li Qingyou remembered that this second young master Qu was the second young master from the Qu family, Minister of Justice. It was said that Tao was outstanding in literary and military skills and was known as the first young master among the noble families in the capital.

"How is this possible?" Li Qingyou was stunned, "What if..."

If Princess Duanyang likes Young Master Qu and they are always in the capital, why would she go around Young Master Qu to get engaged to her brother?

In this era, a woman's betrothal was almost equivalent to getting married. To a certain extent, destroying a betrothal was tantamount to losing her integrity. Although no one dared to say anything as a princess, the imperial power could not stop the public from talking, and the legitimate princess was reduced to a commoner.

The conversation they had after dinner was a shame to the entire royal family.

"How is this impossible?" Adi smiled like a spring breeze, making it possible.

As early as the night he rescued his sister Qingyou, he had smoothed out the whole incident. First, Princess Duanyang sent someone to transfer Zhang Tieniu to the patrol camp, and then arranged for him to take up his post in the suburbs that day.

Later, Princess Duanyang planned to take his sister Qingyou out of the city and arranged for a few "bandits" to rob them. The reason why she arranged for Zhang Tieniu to come to rescue the beauty was because they were childhood sweethearts.

layer relationship.

In the dead of night, a man and a woman alone, a raging fire, and unresolved feelings. As long as Zhang Tieniu is a man, it is obvious what he can do.

Even if Zhang Tieniu is really a gentleman, his sister Qingyou's disheveled clothes have ruined her reputation. According to secular conventions, she must marry Zhang Tieniu, and this whole plan was arranged by Princess Duanyang.

Of course it can't be her alone. Adi guessed that the queen was behind it, otherwise it would be difficult for a princess with no real power to accomplish these things. Just finding out the details of Li Qingyou and bringing Zhang Tieniu back so quickly would be difficult.

Easy to do.

Fortunately, Zhang Tieniu was still a gentleman and did not do anything animalistic to his sister Qingyou. After he settled Qingyou's sister that night, he interrogated Zhang Tieniu that night.

Fortunately he didn't, otherwise...

As for Princess Duanyang, Adi originally thought of other ways to ruin the marriage, but coincidentally, the second prince took action against him at this time.

It was probably because the second prince learned that he was the third prince's son, and because he was granted the title of consort, Emperor Wei broke the old rule of the number one scholar being appointed as a sixth-rank imperial scholar, and promoted him to be the first prince of the dynasty.

The reason why he entered the court was as a fifth-rank official.

In short, he made the second prince feel threatened, so he thought of arranging a prostitute for him to ruin his reputation.

In fact, this kind of thing is nothing for men. Even if the law of this dynasty stipulates that court officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, it is just superficial.

There are not many real officials who are innocent, but no one exposed such things. After all, they are all men. There were court officials who were exposed for such things, and Emperor Wei did not pursue them.

But after all, my brother-in-law is still the consort. If the emperor and the empress find out that the consort is having sex with a prostitute, they will not be able to tolerate it.

However, the second prince also had people from the third prince, and when the plan reached Adi's ears, he used the plan, but changed the people, and replaced them with Mr. Qu and Princess Duanyang.

And the person whom the second prince arranged to "catch the adulterer" happened to show up, and now Princess Duanyang couldn't admit it even if she wanted to.
