Chapter 277 Xue Bin
A guest came to the Jingmoxuan study in the Prince Qin's Mansion.
He was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, of medium build, with a delicate and handsome appearance. There was a scar at the end of his eyebrow that extended to his hair, somewhat ruining his elegant and gentle image.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang personally poured him a cup of hot tea, "Cousin, you have worked so hard these past two years. It is very dangerous to be a spy in the enemy's territory and collect intelligence. You need to be vigilant all the time and worry a lot. It must be very stressful and tiring, right?
The reason I transferred you back to Beijing this time is because of Xian'er's matter, and I also want you to take a break for a while and relax your tired body and mind."
Xue Bin silently took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the teacup, and slowly spoke: "Thank you for your sympathy and care, Your Majesty. Xue Bin has become accustomed to the life of licking blood under the enemy's nose. It is not that hard. I just want to avenge my parents and family, and make sure that the Liao army cavalry will never set foot on the land of our Song Dynasty.
Regarding Xian'er, how do you plan to deal with her?"
"Anyone who dares to harm my princess should be sentenced to death!" The King of Qin said sternly, "However, Xian'er is our blood relative after all, and her uncle died for me. Fortunately, the princess is unharmed, so I can't bear to kill Xian'er."
Xue Bin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then sighed again, "Alas! Xian'er was so pure and innocent when she was little, smart and cute, sensible and kind, but she was taught by her second aunt to be like this, it's really heartbreaking!
It is the mother's fault if she does not teach her child well. No wonder my grandfather disliked my vain and domineering second aunt the most. How could my daughter not be affected by a mother who was not upright? Poor Xian'er, such a fairy-like girl, but she became... "Xue Bin was reluctant to say anything bad about Xian'er.
The King of Qin smiled faintly, "Cousin, although I can't bear to get rid of Xian'er, the King of Qin's Mansion can no longer accommodate her.
Liu Min has taken over your affairs in the Liao Kingdom. From now on, cousin, you will stay in the safe Yanmen Pass and be responsible for remotely controlling the "Eagle" group lurking in the Liao Kingdom to collect intelligence.
You can go to the dungeon of the Hot Spring Villa to see Xian'er, and it would be best if you could persuade her to go to the northern border with you. My aunt doesn't want to go to the bitter cold land in the north, so I can buy her a courtyard in the capital and take care of her until she dies."
Xue Bin's heart was beating fast. Could he take Xian'er back with him to spend every day with him? Would Xian'er be willing to go with him?
Qin Wang Zhao Defang personally poured Xue Bin another cup of tea, and looked at his excited cousin with encouraging eyes, "Cousin, I know that you have liked Xian'er since you were young, and Xian'er also liked you the most when she was young. After I returned from my studies at the age of twelve, Xian'er gradually distanced herself from you.
Cousin, your love for Xian'er is so sincere and genuine that it cannot be compared to anyone else. It is Xian'er who does not appreciate what she has so well off!
Now, maybe she will suddenly realize who she loves and values the most in this world. Cousin, your sincerity may be able to move her. If you can become a loving couple, your uncle will also die with a smile in his eyes in Jiuquan. "
"Cousin, thank you for your encouragement and support!" Xue Bin called him cousin with emotion. He knew that he loved Xian'er deeply. When the person Xian'er loved became his cousin, he had tasted that painful yet helpless feeling alone in the middle of the night for many years.
Fortunately, Defang never liked Xian'er, and he finally waited for the opportunity to make his beloved change his mind. …
When Mrs. Lin saw Xue Bin, she burst into tears and said with a sob, "Bin'er, you are finally back. Zhao Defang...he...he is too cruel, this heartless and ungrateful man. Xian'er's father died for him. He forgot the grace of his uncle who saved his life and was so heartless to us, an orphan and a widow!"
Xue Bin hated his second aunt from the bottom of his heart, and could only comfort her with gentle words: "Second aunt, don't be too sad. My uncle died because he blocked the arrow for my cousin, but if he hadn't rushed out to block the arrow, my cousin wouldn't have died, so it can't be considered a life-saving grace.
My cousin is now the King of Qin, so please don't keep talking about this matter, lest you be accused of seeking a favor for nothing."
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about?" Mrs. Lin immediately became anxious. "Your uncle clearly died to protect him from the arrow. How can I not even mention such a great favor?"
"Let's call it a life-saving favor!" Xue Bin admitted reluctantly, but in his heart he felt sorry for the King of Qin. "Aunt, the King of Qin's cousin has been very kind to you and your daughter over the years. He has been rich and respected over the years. You know that, right?"
: "That's what he should give us!" Madam Lin wiped her tears, "Everything has changed since he married the silly princess. He took away the power to manage the household affairs of the palace from me, and he refused to give Xian'er even the title of concubine. Now, Xian'er made a small mistake, and he ruthlessly locked her up in the dungeon.
Bin'er, please judge for yourself. Is Zhao Defang being ungrateful?"
"Aunt, murdering the Princess of Qin was just a small mistake. If my grandfather were alive, he would definitely lock you up in the dungeon!" After Xue Bin finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily!
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she cried and cursed, saying that her nephews and nieces had lost their consciences and none of them were good people!
Xue Bin came to the dungeon. In the dark and cold dungeon, there was only an oil lamp emitting a dim light.
Prince Qin Zhao Defang did not let Lin Xian'er suffer much. The bedding on the small wooden bed was clean, and the tea and food were still supplied according to the master's standards.
A beautiful figure was sitting on the wooden stool under the small bed. She was slender with black hair like clouds, and was staring at the wall in a daze.
"Xian'er!" Xue Bin felt a lump in his throat and a sour feeling in his nose.
Lin Xian'er's delicate body trembled, and she turned back silently. Her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears as she looked at Xue Bin. "Cousin, why...why are you here?"
"Xian'er!" Xue Bin walked over, squatted down, looked at the pretty face he had been thinking about day and night, and held her slender hand with tears in his eyes, "Xian'er, it was my cousin Defang who ordered me to be transferred back. You... have you reflected on it? Do you know that you are wrong?"
"Cousin!" Lin Xian'er pulled her hand back with all her strength, her pretty face flushed with anger, "Did you come back just to call me to task? Then... go away! I don't want to see you."
"Xian'er, Xian'er, don't be angry." Xue Bin apologized quickly, "It's my cousin's fault. I shouldn't have blamed you as soon as we met."
Lin Xian'er finally calmed down, tears of grievance rolling down her cheeks. "Cousin, Brother Defang is too partial. He turned a blind eye to my love for him, but married that stupid princess with a brain disease. He always favors that idiot and hurts my heart. Cousin, since you are here, can you speak a few fair words for me and take care of Brother Defang?"
Xue Bin's heart sank, and he forced a smile with a depressed and bitter look, "Xian'er, what fair words do you want me to say for you?"
Lin Xian'er grabbed Xue Bin's hand and said, "Cousin, you have done a favor to Brother Defang, he will definitely listen to you. You ask him to divorce the silly princess and marry me...ah...you don't have to do that. I won't compete with a fool for the position of princess. You can just ask Brother Defang to marry me as a concubine."
