Chapter 189 Using Power

In the dim sky, looking at each other, Zhuang Xun got off the carriage and looked up at Li Rusi on the horse, with heavy shadows.

"Don't you understand? I have divorced you, Your Majesty. Now you and I are no longer husband and wife. Men and women are not intimate. Please forgive me for not agreeing."

Li Rusi held the reins, the winter solstice wind blew her clothes, and her slightly messy hair gave her a heroic and delicate look.

His red face was unyielding, and he looked at Zhuang Xun with condescending eyes, seeming to have some kind of persistence.

"Then as a minister, you have to come down and talk. Isn't it a bit impolite to ride on a horse?" Zhuang Xun had a vague suspicion and his attitude became gentle. He didn't like to quarrel with others.

After hearing this, Li Rusi dismounted hesitantly and saluted Zhuang Xun.

"Your Majesty, Li Rusi, has met. May your Majesty be safe."

"My beloved, be safe. I have done something wrong. My dear, I want to divorce my husband."

Zhuang Xun raised Li Rusi's arm forward.
He grabbed Li Rusi's wrist.

"Your Majesty, men and women cannot be intimate." Li Rusi wanted to retract her hand, but He Zhuangxun held on tightly, just like he did in Yindu.

"You always have to catch Aiqing to prevent her from running away, right?" Zhuang Xun smiled, he was not joking, he really thought so.

If Li Rusi divorced her husband just to escape back to Chengguo, and she did it for Zhuang Xun, then Zhuang Xun would be crying.

Now, in order to avoid this extreme situation, Zhuang Xun directly repeated the same trick and grabbed Li Rusi's soft wrist.

"Your Majesty, I have divorced you." Li Rusi looked at Zhuang Xun's gentle attitude, all her proficiency in human relations and sophistication went away, and her tone was stiff.

"I know, isn't this my reason for you? I am dissatisfied with you in some way, let's go to the inn and tell you..."

Holding Li Rusi's hand, surrounded by guards, Zhuang Xun took the initiative to stay away from the crowd, holding Li Rusi's hand towards the inn not far away.

Just like before, although his hand was powerful, it was difficult to break free from Zhuang Xun's hand. Because he was afraid of hurting Zhuang Xun, he couldn't use any force at all.

The more she cowered, the more Zhuang Xun pushed her forward without any scruples, dragging her towards her destination.

It was not appropriate to say that he was being dragged, and he was reluctant to say that he was being dragged, so he was dragged into the room of the post house by Zhuang Xun.

"What are you going to do? Let go of my hand." After entering the post house, Li Rusi's cheeks were already hot and her tone was embarrassed.

Pulling her into a posthouse room in front of so many people had never been like this before. She felt like she was back in Yindu in a dream, but Zhuang Xun at this moment seemed more powerful than Zhuang Xun when he was in Yindu.

"Didn't I tell you why you divorced me? What did I do wrong?"

Zhuang Xun had actually guessed the reason, but he deliberately didn't tell Li Rusi so he could refute it.

After listening to Zhuang Xun's words, Li Rusi seemed to soften slightly.

"Because I feel sorry for Your Majesty. Daddy, he betrayed your Majesty's trust. You clearly trusted him so much and took him as your support. I didn't expect that he had evil intentions."

Li Rusi confessed that she could see her pain. Knowing Zhuang Xun's experience in Chengguo and the helplessness of being trapped in Chengguo, she felt the same way. Her natal family had betrayed Zhuang Xun's trust.

"Is this really so? Why don't you apologize to me? Do you think I will be angry with you?"

Zhuang Xun pretended to be angry and said, Li Pingyuan is Li Pingyuan, Li Rusi is Li Rusi, Zhuang Xun knows Li Rusi's feelings for Zhuang Xun very well.

"I'm just ashamed. I no longer have the face to be His Majesty's concubine. My status is no longer suitable for you to be your princess."

Li Rusi looked ashamed and turned her head, unable to speak because Li Pingyuan was unscrupulous.

"Really? Is it because Grand Master Li imprisoned me, or because Grand Master Li wrote a letter?"

Zhuang Xun saw that she was stubbornly refusing to talk about the letter, so he pointed it out directly.

"How did you know?" Li Rusi was startled and looked at Zhuang Xun with surprise.

"Because I also received a letter from Grand Master Li, asking me to make you queen." Zhuang Xun admitted generously, observing Li Rusi's expression and laughing.

"How could it be? This letter..." Li Rusi didn't have enough brains, but then she thought it was reasonable, because Zhuang Xun was in Yindu. It made no sense to give a copy to Hengdu and not to Zhuang Xun.

"So why do you want to break up with me? If you don't explain clearly, I won't let you go." Zhuang Xun said with a slight smile, squeezing the soft and smooth face.

"You know everything, can't you guess it?" Li Rusi's expression turned bitter.

"I can't guess, tell me. I also want to know what you think."

Zhuang Xun had basically determined that Li Rusi didn't want to embarrass herself, so she used this almost evasive method to resolve Li Pingyuan's conspiracy.

"Oh, really, you are seeing my concubine... your joke again." Zhuang Xun's smile made Li Rusi relax a lot, but it made her even more embarrassed.

"No, I just want to know what happened that made Madam so determined to divorce her husband. Tell me, I know it, don't I?"

Zhuang Xun held Li Rusi's palm with his other hand. He wanted Li Rusi to speak out so that he could further persuade her.

"When the letter arrived in the hands of Sister Wei, she announced it to me in the palace and let me know the content of the letter and how my father imprisoned you. At the same time, she said that she would give up the position of queen to me."

Li Rusi took a deep breath and said that her respect for Si Qinmi could be seen from her expression, which was sincere.

"Of course I don't want to accept it. I know how much Your Majesty likes Sister Wei, no, how much he likes Queen Wei, and the Queen has sacrificed so much for the Xia Kingdom."

In terms of qualifications and achievements, Si Qin Mi's achievements are enough to take up the position of queen. She is calm and decisive, gentle and kind. Li Rusi used to think that she could compete for it.But the further back she went, the more powerless she realized that the other party's jealousy could not be compared to anything close to it. Frankness made her find the feeling she had at home. Sometimes she mistakenly regarded Si Qinmi as her sister.

She recognized that there was such a queen sister. She made it very clear last time that she did not have Si Qinmi's ability to be a queen or a lady, so she was willing to take Si Qinmi's seat.

"Madam, what did she say?" It was Zhuang Xun who recognized Siqin Mi. Zhuang Xun rushed back in such a hurry, wasn't it because of Siqin Mi's temperament.

Zhuang Xun showed kindness, and she repaid the kindness. As long as it was beneficial to Zhuang Xun and sacrificed her interests, she didn't care. Originally, the bottom line was not to be petty, but now it doesn't matter if she is petty. That's why Zhuang Xun loved her so much.

"The queen said that she knew this was a conspiracy. In order to strip away the influence of the minister in the army, the queen said that she could not trust the minister, just like she did not allow the minister to attack the Yu State this time."

Li Rusi smiled bitterly but was not angry. She imitated Si Qinmi and said:

"Even if we are honest with each other, how can we guarantee that I will not have any thoughts in the future? How about she hand over the position of queen to me. As the main palace, even if her father really recruits me, the temptation will not be greater than that of the main palace. As the second palace, she Say she won’t feel jealous, and this conspiracy can be solved.”

"By the way, there is another advantage of this. The forces in the army will not be wary of the minister. If it were not for the queen and father's instigation, many generals would recognize your majesty, such as General He and the surrender from Youguo. General, they will be wary of me and remind Your Majesty of you at the same time, so even if I have talents, I will not be able to use them."

"After all, they are also human beings, and their hearts are separated from each other. How can they believe that the minister who was rejected by His Majesty as the queen will not complain. The generals brought out by the minister will also complain about this. All these will weaken our precious strength."

"So the queen is willing to give up her position as queen to me, and is willing to continue to assist your majesty as a noble concubine."

"That's a good analysis. I just trust you. You told me that we should put the interests of our family first in the future. I still remember it."

When Cheng Guo brought Li Rusi back, Li Rusi promised not to be impulsive again and to do everything for the benefit of the banker.

"Time will prove everything. As long as I trust you, it doesn't matter. You can still lead the troops to fight."

Zhuang Xun expressed his trust in Li Rusi. Naturally, he supported Si Qinmi in the selection of the queen. However, he also had trust in Li Rusi. He may be a bit naive, but it can be considered his advantage. A woman who can entrust his sincerity to his heart will also reciprocate. sincere.

If he can't believe his wife, then he has nothing to believe. Many time travelers feel that anyone will betray them all day long. Zhuang Xun does not have this kind of delusion.

One day, he guarded his family as much as he guarded against thieves, and even demanded that the other party be sincere to him. Zhuang Xun couldn't comment, at least he couldn't do it.

"The Queen also said that after a period of time, everyone can see the sincerity of the minister, or the country will perish and become a country, then everyone will have no objections, but we don't have this time."

Speaking of this, thinking of Si Qin Mi's helplessness when he said this, Li Rusi's expression also showed the slightest helplessness.

"We have robbed the land of the aristocratic families and distributed it to the common people. We are short of talents, especially military talents. We are poor in culture and rich in martial arts, let alone generals who understand strategy. This cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. Therefore, to deal with Chengguo, I am You must do your best.”

"This trick is so sinister. If the ministers of the Cheng Kingdom do not go to war, it will be a great advantage for the Cheng Kingdom. Kill our generals before the war begins, and go to war, because the ministers who cannot be made queens will not be killed by the soldiers. If you don’t trust me, then the commander won’t be convinced.”

Li Rusi could also see clearly. Zhuang Xun's method was a good one, using time and victory after victory to change people's ideas.

But there was no time, he was about to face Cheng Guo, and Si Qin Mi's attitude was also very clear. If Li Rusi did not become the queen, Si Qin Mi, as the queen, would not trust her either.

"It seems that you didn't choose either of the two options, so you took the third option and divorced me?" Zhuang Xun was a little silent after hearing this. The reason why the conspiracy is a conspiracy is that conventional methods cannot solve it.

"Yes, then there will be no conflicts between you and the queen. I remember that your majesty must support the queen's position in the palace, and the queen means to abdicate to solve this problem."

Li Rusi became energetic because facing this problem, she finally thought about it all afternoon and made an impulsive decision, opening up a third way.

"As long as I am not your concubine, there is no possibility of fighting for the post. This is enough to show your attitude. Daddy's instigation of discord will not affect us. Secondly, you and the queen don't have to argue. We can unite as one to unify the world."

Li Rusi clenched her fists. She could not miss the battle to conquer Chengguo. She also did not want to seize Siqin Mi's position, let alone get Siqin Mi's position, causing conflicts between Zhuang Xun and Siqin Mi. At the same time, she was in Zhuang Xun's position. His eyes were still a little lower.

"Furthermore, a concubine's control of military power is always unjust and unjust. Now I have much more freedom, and I don't have to go to pay respects to the queen every day."

Li Rusi smiled. At least she was thinking so clearly at the moment. How could she have the face to sit on the throne of the queen? Her father had imprisoned Zhuang Xun and resorted to such alienation tactics. She had no face anyway.

"Then have you ever thought about why you want to fight for me?" Zhuang Xun shook his head and rubbed Li Rusi's skillful hands.

"Huh? Chen..." Li Rusi got stuck, unable to speak until her words reached her throat.

"If you are not my concubine, don't you have no need to fight for my world? How can you let the soldiers trust you?"

Zhuang Xun held Li Rusi in his arms. Li Rusi, who was stuck, did not resist and was placed on his lap by the little Zhuang Xun.

"So it's not right for you to do this, do you understand? If you feel that your identity is restricting you, you don't have to do it, but this is not a forced method. Not only is it useless, I also feel bad for you."

Zhuang Xun leaned close to Li Rusi's round earlobe and breathed a sigh of relief. Li Rusi didn't think comprehensively.

"Did you run away privately? Where are you going? I thought you were going back to Chengguo, which worried me to death." Biting Li Rusi's ear, Zhuang Xun's tone became aggrieved.

"No, the Queen concluded that the National Assembly took advantage of you to return to Hengdu and then attack Yindu. I was afraid that General He would be unable to hold it, so I came here."

Lying limply in Zhuang Xun's arms, Li Rusi wanted to scold her for breaking up with Zhuang Xun, but it was of no use at all. Her body felt soft when touched and her speech was choppy.

"I am also worried. When, when, the time comes, I, I will be held up and roasted on the fire. I, I will fight against dad, dad, he..."

Who told her to like Zhuang Xun? When Zhuang Xun grabbed her wrist, she went limp. Instead of the valiant and heroic appearance of a battlefield valkyrie, she turned into a tangled finger. The tall, heroic and beautiful female general was dominated by Zhuang Xun. From the beginning He couldn't resist for even a few minutes.

"Is that so? It's late today. I'll go to Yindu with you tomorrow. Let's rest first." Zhuang Xun kissed Li Rusi's face and pushed her down.

"No, I am no longer your concubine. In order to prevent you from having any conflict with the queen, I am willing to withdraw. Moreover, the general is right in doing so. I also hate the red tape of the palace. The most important thing is that I will not give you anything. There is no reason or excuse for dad to use me to hurt His Majesty. Although there may be some immaturity in it, this is my decision!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Rusi said loudly.

"I understand, but aren't you my subject? I order you to accept the blessing."

"Dark Lord!"

　Mrs. Jiang, just wait for the plot. I don’t want to argue with you. If you can’t write it vividly, can you continue to criticize it?
