Chapter 853: Li Xingsheng & Ling Yuezi Extra Story (18) – Twin Dragons and Phoenixes_2

"No, I will be constantly traveling in the borderlands, and he needs a wife. We... are fated yet not destined." Ling Yuezi’s expression was desolate.

She didn’t want to separate from Li Xingsheng, but she had no choice but to part.

Ling Yuezi continued, "The Queen of Funan Country is always greedy and could shout slogans about avenging a regent king for another country. These two must have been in collusion for a long time. It’s possible that there are many traitors and spies in the south. Our journey is certainly fraught with danger. If I remain with Mr. Li, wouldn’t that implicate him? Let’s part ways before our relationship becomes public."

He needs a home, but she cannot provide it.

.

Ling Yuezi instructed Ah Qing and four maids to stay by Ling Xingyun’s side, while she quietly went to Pearl City in the Southern Land with Ah Lan and four other maids.

Following her orders, Ah Qing came to the residence of Big Master Luo Zhencuan with a letter half a day after her departure to find Li Xingsheng.

Li Xingsheng at this moment seemed to be facing difficulties and was discussing something with Lou Chengye, his expression grim.

Ah Qing didn’t immediately disturb them but stood at a distance, waiting for them to finish.

Lou Chengye first noticed Ah Qing, and exclaimed, "Miss Ah Qing? Why are you here?"

Li Xingsheng turned his head.

Ah Qing smiled slightly and walked over, "Oh, the Princess asked me to bring you some food."

Feeling it a bit heartless to only deliver a farewell letter, she brought along some fresh fruits.

Li Xingsheng nodded to Ah Qing, contemplated for a moment, and said, "Ah Qing, thank you for your trouble. You came at the right time; I need to leave Nanyue immediately to return to Zhao Country. I don’t have time to say goodbye to the Princess, so please tell her on my behalf that... once I’ve sorted out some matters, I’ll return to see her."

Ah Qing was stunned, letting out a breath inwardly, "Ah, if Mr. Li is busy, then go ahead quickly. The Princess will understand."

Li Xingsheng nodded and turned to leave.

Ah Qing was bewildered, was he leaving just like that?

She called out to Li Xingsheng, "Mr. Li, wait a moment! The Princess has something for Mr. Li."

Li Xingsheng turned back again.

Ah Qing pressed her lips together, walked over, and handed the letter she had in her sleeve to Li Xingsheng.

Li Xingsheng looked at the letter.

The envelope was addressed "To Li Erlang".

It was Ling Yuezi’s handwriting.

"Mr. Li, hurry with your journey. Read this letter on the road. The Princess said that if Mr. Li is not in a hurry to read, he could wait a few days as well," Ah Qing thought for a moment and added. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Alright." Li Xingsheng tucked the letter into his coat and turned to leave.

Lou Chengye waved to Ah Qing, "Goodbye, Miss Ah Qing."

"Goodbye!" Ah Qing also waved her hand, sighing, hoping Mr. Li wouldn’t be too saddened.

.

An hour ago, Lou Chengye arrived from Zhao Country, bringing a personal letter from Prefect Lou.

It turned out that the political situation in Zhao Country was becoming increasingly complicated. The Yu Wen Family had gained power and was clashing fiercely with the Pei Mansion.

A secret letter had also arrived from the Northern Land, revealing that Yu Wen Zan had once sent people to poison Baili Rui’s parents.

Li Xingsheng, sharp-minded among the three brothers of the Li Family, immediately guessed that the Yu Wen father and son were plotting something.

Although Ling Yuezi was within the Nanyue court and wouldn’t allow a conflict with Zhao Country, it’s possible someone from Zhao Country might disturb Nanyue, stirring conflicts.

The appearance of one military officer could lead to a second.

In his letter, Prefect Lou stated that recent incidents in both Nanyue and the Northern Land were abnormal.

Fortunately, Nanyue’s issues were suppressed by him and Ling Yuezi, but should a greater conflict arise, Beiyang would surely seize the opportunity to move south, troubling Zhao Country.

He had to return and, together with Prefect Lou, thoroughly clean up those restless individuals in Zhen An Prefecture.

Li Xingsheng was concerned about the affairs in Zhen An Prefecture but also thinking of Ling Yuezi.

Leaving so hastily without saying goodbye to Ling Yuezi made him feel guilty.

However, shortly afterward, he proudly justified himself, thinking that Ling Yuezi, that cold-hearted woman, hadn’t given him status despite their days together.

Why should he personally bid farewell?

Be taken advantage of again?

This time, he insisted on cooling her off for a few days.

Anyway, after returning to Zhao Country, he would come back in seven or eight days.

Thus, once he arrived at Zhen An Prefecture, he opened Ling Yuezi’s letter.

The content made his spine chill and filled him with regret.

Just after reaching the Li Mansion, he didn’t even have time for a drink before hastily riding to Nanyue.

Rushing through a five-day journey, he stayed on the road day and night, reaching the destination in only three days.
