"Duke Protector, what are you thinking? "But what I said, we support a prince …" Su Qing Jiu said halfway, the remaining half stuck in his throat.
For a moment, Liu Yi felt that Su Qing Jiu was trying to plot against him. It had been many years since he had heard something like this. Su Qing Jiu's words were outrageous even if he supported the prince. Qi Hao had no intention of abdicating the throne.
"Then which prince do you plan on supporting?" Liu Yi pretended not to understand and asked.
It was impossible for Crown Prince Qi Chenfeng, since Su Qing Jiu had a terrible relationship with him. As for the Third Prince, he didn't need to consider it at the banquet last time. Of the remaining princes, the Fifth Prince was on good terms with Qi Mo Xuan. Did Su Qing Jiu want to support him?
"Second Prince, Qi Chenyi …"
Su Qing Jiu had chosen the innately ill Second Prince, Qi Chen, and Liu Yi's originally relaxed heart had tensed up again. If he could not cure Qi Chen's mental illness, he definitely would not live past thirty years old!
Liu Yi restrained his aura and joked, "So it's because I chose my second brother-in-law. That is also fine. "However, you also know that the one who is on good terms with Ah Xuan is Little Zhe, why are you …"
Why didn't he choose Little Zhe? Su Qing Jiu didn't know why either. She had only met Qi Chen Zhe a few times, and there was nothing wrong with him for her. Perhaps it was because the other party's performance was too perfect, but she felt that something was amiss.
"I don't know, I just feel that he's not pure. I can't say what that feeling is." Su Qing Jiu calmly thought that she had a strange feeling of vigilance towards Cheng Zhi. Towards the feeling of being born from years of wandering at the edge of darkness, she had no way of convincing herself to be at ease.
"Little Zhe …" Liu Yi let out a long sigh and disappeared into thin air.
Time was the best proof, and he did not have to say anything to Su Qing Jiu. Hopefully, Qi Chen Zhe hadn't changed. He could still call him "Little Zhe" in the future.
"Alright, you and I don't have much to talk about. You should know that you don't have any chips yourself. "White wolves have to be separated into different groups as well …"
This Liu Yi was really direct when he spoke. Su Qing Jiu could not help but feel slightly discouraged. The time was too short. She needed at least three years to nurture her own forces. Three years in Ji City in the Qi was too long, and there were too many uncertainties.
She wanted to find her allies and build an unshakable wall.
"Give me time, I will prove to you that I have the power to form an alliance!" Su Qing wine did not give up as he pleaded one last time. The main reason was because she couldn't find any good allies in the Qi Kingdom other than the Head Protector.
Anyone else who could cooperate would have a very low status. It was still alright for him to be certain of his own fate when things went on like this. If he was a fence-sitter, he wouldn't talk about it when the wind blew, but he would be done for if he revealed the truth.
"Alright, I'll give you some time." Liu Yi relaxed his limits. He also wanted to know how far Su Qing Jiu could go. And there were things he didn't think clearly about. He wanted to know how she did it.
Su Qing Jiu shook his hand into a fist and took a step forward. "Come, you can touch my fist and swear that you will not forget the words you have spoken today."
Liu Yi also shook his hand into a fist. He actually felt his blood boil at this childish thing. He didn't know what that feeling was, but it felt pretty good.
After everything was settled, Su Qing Jiu snapped his fingers and said: "Since that's the case, let's form an alliance. "Also, as one of the allies, I will give you an adopted son."
foster son? Liu Yi and Liu Tianli felt dizzy. They did not hear Su Qing Jiu's words wrongly!
Did the Duke of the Kingdom need a foster son? Even if they needed a foster son, it was not Su Qing Jiu's turn to gift them one. What was his intention in saying such words?
"Who are you talking about?" Liu Tian Li asked Su Qing Jiu, the number of people around could be counted on one hand. It was possible that his foster son was Su Yan and the end of the season.
"Who else can it be?" Su Qing Jiu looked at Su Yan, then at the end of the season. Would the Protector of the Kingdom not choose one of these two youths?
Liu Tian Li was furious, how could her foster son not say anything? She was the young miss of the country's protector, what was wrong with having an adopted son?
Pointing at Su Yan, Liu Tianli asked, "But him? He's your man. "Why aren't you teaching me? You're throwing it at us?"
Sure enough, the unhappy Liu Tianli could not say anything good. However, Su Qing Jiu did not reveal everything that had happened to Su Yan. He just looked down on Su Yan, as if he was in a bad mood.
"Him, there's no need for you guys to worry about it. I will teach myself." With a single sentence, Su Qing Jiu cut off Liu Tian Li's words. The foster son she was talking about was at the end of the season, not Su Yan.
"You, you can't be? You want to be my father's adopted son, a lowly person on the streets? "Stop messing around, my father has helped a lot of people like him before, why would he take me in as his foster son?"
"Because you are too stupid. Not only are you unable to help your elder brother with anything, you even caused trouble for your father. So, I feel that it is extremely necessary for your father to accept a foster son. Since you want to take me in as a foster son, and I just happen to have someone with me, why not? "
Su Qing Jiu's words caused Liu Tian Li to blush with anger, did he mean that her abilities were insufficient? She knew a lot of things to do, and now that she had been belittled, she would not accept it.
"Your people, be my foster sons. "Are you going to say that you're sick, or am I?" Liu Yi poured his wine straight away. He had probably adopted his adopted son for a few years and taught him how to do everything. In the end, he would have to marry into someone else's family.
Su Qing Yin listened quietly as Liu Yi finished speaking. She knew about this matter. She wasn't sick. If there was something wrong with this other person, she couldn't help it even if she wanted to!
"All I know is that a beast tamer will never despise the beasts in their hands." Su Qing Jiu made an analogy and continued, "I have brought you people, in the future, you will have to trouble the protector of the nation."
"He is called the end of the season, his ability to do things is considered pretty good amongst his peers." Su Qing Jiu suddenly patted on the shoulder, then blinked and said: "I have given you the chance. "If you still want to climb up in the future, then please start working hard now."
At the end of the season, when she heard Su Qing Jiu's words, she was unable to calm down for a long time. The opportunity that he didn't dare to dream of was right before his eyes. If it was a dream, he didn't want to wake up.
"Good day protector, I'm called the end of the season," Ji said as he knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists. His heart was beating uncontrollably fast at this moment, with eyes filled with reverence.
"Get up, we will talk about the rules later. Today, I don't want to talk to you about anything... "
Liu Yi's words were extremely important to the end of the season. Regardless of the reason, it would be easier for him to get involved with the Duke's Mansion in the future.
"Thank you, Imperial Protector," the end of the season said, and thanked him again.
