I'll take you with me

Xuanyuan Chen saw Xie Qingrong standing at the door with a smile on her face, "A Rong."

Li Chengrui lifted his head slightly, looked at Xie Qingrong with a slight smile, and praised gently: "Chen Er, the wife you have married is very good."

Hearing royal brother's praise towards Xie Qingrong, Xuanyuan Chen smiled slightly, he also felt that Xie Qingrong was the best wife in the world.

He extended his hand and grabbed Xie Qingrong's fingertip.

"As for the matter of this son's death, I hope that royal father and matriarch can keep it a secret for this son. The fewer people who know about this, the better. " Li Chengrui's face was solemn as he said this.

"But …" Queen Zhangsun seemed to want to say something.

But he was interrupted by the Emperor Xuanyuan, "Linglong, listen to what Rui Er has to say."

"Regarding this matter, your son has his own reasons. When the dust has settled, your son will tell you everything. After exiting the Prince Chen's Mansion's gates, royal father and matriarch will pretend to have never seen this son before. " Li Chengrui endured the bitterness in his heart as he spoke.

Queen Zhangsun seemed to have realized the meaning behind Li Chengrui's words, and his face instantly turned pale. "Rui Er, are you saying that you want to leave the capital?"

Li Chengrui could not help but nod his head, "In a while, this son will leave the capital."

Breaking through the last bit of imagination in Queen Zhangsun's heart, she held onto the trembling fingertip of the Queen Zhangsun, silently consoling her.

Although Emperor Xuanyuan could not understand Li Chengrui's way of thinking, he supported his idea.

Although Li Chengrui was once his favorite candidate for the position of emperor, the secret edict had been passed down. Xuanyuan Chen would become the crown prince of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom, and he would inherit his position in the future.

"Don't you plan to tell Wen Yan about this?" Xie Qingrong asked softly, his arms crossed.

However, even if Li Chengrui did not plan to tell him his real identity, Li Chengrui would not be able to hide it for long.

"I will find a suitable opportunity to tell Wen Yan." Li Chengrui said. As she raised Zhangsun Wenyan, the smile on her face grew more sincere and gentle as she thought of the elegant and graceful woman.

The Queen Zhangsun held Li Chengrui's shoulders, her eyes red, her voice trembling slightly: "Wen Yan is a good girl, after waiting so many years for you, you must not let down her heart."

"Yes." Li Chengrui nodded heavily, promised, then knelt on the ground as he said solemnly: "Father, matriarch, this son is unfilial, and was unable to serve by your side. After my marriage with Wen Yan, I will bring Wen Yan away from the capital, away from this place. Chen Er, I shall leave royal father and matriarch in your care. "

Emperor Xuanyuan and Queen Zhangsun helped Li Chengrui up from the ground. No matter how reluctant he was, Queen Zhangsun was still a reasonable and reasonable person.

After the three of them exchanged greetings, the sky gradually darkened. Xuanyuan Chen sent people to send Emperor Xuanyuan and his son back to the Imperial Palace.

Xie Qingrong stood in the great hall and invited Li Chengrui to stay for dinner.

Li Chengrui readily agreed.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingrong secretly sent someone to invite Zhangsun Wenyan.

The sky gradually darkened, and the moon hung in the branches of the willow trees.

Prince Chen's Mansion's dinner officially started. Only, when Li Chengrui saw that Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong did not intend to use chopsticks, he was a little puzzled and asked: "What's wrong? Are there still guests coming? "

Xuanyuan Chen pinched the wine cup with his slender fingers and answered: "Mmm. A Rong has invited Wen Yan. "

Li Chengrui paused while holding the wine cup, he lowered her eyes, his long eyelashes covering the emotions that flashed past her eyes.

When Zhangsun Wenyan received the invitation from the Prince Chen's Mansion, she had some doubts, but in regards to Xuanyuan Chen and his invitation, she naturally did not hesitate to attend.

However, Li Chengrui was also in Prince Chen's Mansion, which was beyond her expectations.

Moreover, looking at Xuanyuan Chen's attitude to him, it seemed to be a little intimate.

Although her cousin always wore a gentle smile on his face, she knew that the smile never reached her eyes. Now, however, it was somewhat real and somewhat inconceivable.

After dinner, the guests were all happy.

Li Chengrui pulled Zhangsun Wenyan's hand and went to the Prince Chen's Mansion's backyard.

Under the bright moonlight, the ground was suffused with waves of silver light that were as warm as jade.

"Cheng Rui, why did you bring me here?" Zhangsun Wenyan flung away Li Chengrui's hand that was holding her wrist, rubbed her wrist, and asked with some confusion.

Instead of answering, Li Chengrui smiled, the gentleness and love between his brows almost overflowed. He lightly caressed Zhangsun Wenyan's face, and smiled: "Wen Yan, it's me."

Hearing this, Zhangsun Wenyan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the disbelief and dense grief in her eyes nearly stung Li Chengrui.

Zhangsun Wenyan pursed her lips and asked: "Why did you intentionally leave an opening to deceive me earlier, and why are you preparing to tell me the truth now? Could it be that in your eyes, Xuanyuan Rui, I am just a woman that is easily deceived? "

Li Chengrui shook his head, as though he was about to raise his head and embrace Zhangsun Wenyan, only to see Zhangsun Wenyan taking a step back, and had no choice but to withdraw her hands.

He opened his mouth, but the pain and struggle in his eyes were clear.

Zhangsun Wenyan didn't know what Xuanyuan Rui was struggling for, or what was in pain, but seeing Xuanyuan Rui so sad made her heart feel very bad.

I was about to say something.

Her waist was held by someone, and she was uncontrollably brought into Xuanyuan Rui's embrace. A clear and cold fragrance wafted into her nose, it was the fragrance that she was used to.

His eyes were red, and hot tears were rolling down his cheeks.

Li Chengrui held Zhangsun Wenyan tightly in his arms, his low voice was filled with regret and depression: "I'm sorry, Wen Yan. "No matter how difficult it is for me, if I deceived you on this, it would be enough to send me to eternal damnation."

"Back then, I had clearly decided to leave the capital forever, to leave everything here. However, when I saw you, I couldn't help but want to get closer and hug you. Just like now, I want to hug you in my arms."

Listening to Li Chengrui's confession, Zhangsun Wenyan smirked.

The Xuanyuan Rui in his memories seemed to always be wise, calm, and self-confident. He looked to be forever wrapped in a cocoon, trembling with fear, and taking every step with caution.

Although he had deceived her, but wasn't her greatest wish at that time just to protect Xuanyuan Rui?

He lowered his eyes, took the initiative to raise his hands, and wrapped his arms around Li Chengrui's thin waist as he whispered into his ears. "Will you leave me behind this time?"

Xuanyuan Rui tightened his grip, and pulled Zhangsun Wenyan even tighter into her embrace. He stroked her long, smooth, jet-black hair and solemnly promised: "This time, I will bring you along with me."
