Chapter 53 It's hard to have both

"Mother, do you really want to do this?"

Ling Xiao looked at the Concubine Dowager in disbelief. In his impression, the Concubine Dowager had never been so strong, nor had she ever forced him to do anything like this.

Now she is forcing him like this for Zhu'er.

Why can’t you tolerate Zhu’er? She is such a good woman, why can’t your mother see her goodness?

The concubine said firmly: "It has to be this way, think about it yourself, after Su and Yun entered the mansion, the mansion has been peaceful and quiet, and nothing has ever happened.

And since Li came into the family, just think about it, how many things have happened?

The emperor punished you to stay at home and reflect on your mistakes because of these things, right?

Mother hopes that you will not focus on these romantic relationships for the time being, but focus on your own affairs. Only when you are well, will we be well too. If you are not well, if you have any problems, we will be in trouble with you."

Ling Xiao knew that he couldn't convince the Concubine Dowager, and instead was somewhat shaken by her words. He said helplessly: "Let my son think about it."

"Okay, mother will only give you one day. We don't have much time to waste on these trivial matters."

"Yes, my son knows."

Ling Xiao bowed to the Concubine Dowager, left Ronghua Hall, returned to the study, and lay down on the chair tiredly, thinking about what the Concubine Dowager had said in his mind.

He also knew that what the concubine said was true, but he really couldn't bear to part with Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu is his white moonlight, the woman at the top of his heart, the woman he wants to be with for the rest of his life, the woman with whom he wants to see all the ups and downs of life.

If he achieves his great goal in the future without her by his side, what is the point of him doing all these things?

Ling Xiao suddenly felt like he was trapped in a blind spot.

Sometimes his mind was filled with what the concubine had said to him, and sometimes he thought of all the wonderful things that had happened with Li Yuzhu over the years.

Sometimes he felt that he should send Li Yuzhu away, and sometimes he felt reluctant to let her go. These two thoughts intertwined in his mind and tortured him, making him miserable.

So he simply went to the martial arts training ground, picked up a sword, and started practicing swordplay desperately in the training ground.

Suddenly there was a flash of swords and sabers.

When I felt completely refreshed, I felt that the irritability and conflicts in my heart had dissipated a lot.

"Your Majesty, you haven't been in good condition lately."

At this time, an aide from the government came over and spoke to him.

Ling Xiao threw the sword in his hand to him and said, "Mr. Shu is right. I just want to have a good talk with you. Let's go to the study."

Shu Muliao Ming Zhixing was a man of great learning, but he was just unlucky. Every time he took an exam, he would run into one problem or another, which resulted in him doing very badly in each exam.

Now I am in my forties and have achieved nothing. So I gave up on the college entrance examination and wanted to find a job and live a stable life.

By chance, Shu Zhixing met Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao was attracted by his talent and took him as his aide.

Shu Zhixing did not disappoint Ling Xiao and always gave him advice and suggestions, making Ling Xiao's life smooth sailing.

This time he went back to his hometown for some business. After he came back, he learned what happened in the mansion and came to find Ling Xiao.

The two of them came to the study, and after they sat down, Ling Xiao asked the servant to come and pour tea for them.

"Sir please."

The tea was poured and Ling Xiao made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shu Zhixing bowed and apologized, then picked up the teacup and drank the tea without hesitation. Lingxiao's tea was all tribute, it tasted great and smelled good, it was hard to taste this kind of good tea at ordinary times.

He drank the whole cup of tea in one breath, put it down, and then asked Ling Xiao: "Your Highness, are you worried about the Princess and Aunt Li recently?"

Ling Xiao nodded: "What do you think, sir?"

Shu Zhixing bowed his hands and said, "Before Your Majesty listens to my opinion, I want to ask you, is your great cause more important, or your woman more important? And what does Your Majesty want?"

Ling Xiao was stumped by Shu Zhixing's question. He was stunned for a long time before he slowly said, "Of course, my great cause is more important."

Shu Zhixing smiled and said, "That's it. Your Majesty knows what's important. You don't have to listen to me."

Ling Xiao: "Sir, please speak up. I want to hear what you think."

Shu Zhixing straightened his face, thought for a moment and said, "Then I will speak boldly."

Although Ling Xiao knew what was important, he wanted both the kingdom and the beauty, and Shu Zhixing saw it at a glance.

"Ah."

Ling Xiao nodded.

Shu Zhixing said: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, Your Highness should not get caught up in the love affairs at the moment. The affairs of the backyard are under the jurisdiction of the Concubine Dowager, and Your Highness should still focus on the great cause.

When the prince accomplishes his great cause, he will have three thousand beauties in his harem.

The momentum in the court is not very favorable to us now, and the prince's chance of success is not 100%, so at this critical moment, the prince needs to give 100% of his energy. "

Ling Xiao's eyes shone. He was very clear about all this, but he thought it was not a big problem and would not affect him much, so he did not take it seriously.

He pursed his lips and said, "I know all this, so how do you think I should deal with Aunt Li?"

This is his focus. He wants to hear what Shu Zhixing thinks.

Shu Zhixing sighed in his heart. Since ancient times, beauties have been the burial places of heroes, and heroes have always been tempted by beautiful women. Even though he has explained it so clearly, Ling Xiao is still obsessed with it.

He said, "I dare not speak nonsense about this."

"This king says you are not guilty, sir, you can speak frankly."

Shu Zhixing: "Then I will say a few words boldly. Aunt Li has seriously affected the prince's heart. The prince should keep a distance from Aunt Li. When the prince wears the yellow robe, it will be up to the prince to decide how to treat Aunt Li."

Li Yuzhu is really annoying, she's always acting like she's dying.

A woman can be pampered, but she cannot be pampered blindly. This is Shu Zhixing's idea.

It's not that Ling Xiao doesn't listen to Shu Zhixing's words, but he really can't just leave Li Yuzhu alone now.

Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?

He looked at Shu Zhixing solemnly and asked, "Sir, do you have a way to have the best of both worlds?"

Shu Zhixing smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this. This Prince Rong was really crazy. Leaving Li Yuzhu alone was only temporary, but he couldn't let her go, let alone the great cause.

Even if his great cause is accomplished, he will still be a tyrant who only loves beautiful women.

Shu Zhixing immediately regretted helping such a person.

Then he shook his head decisively: "There is no perfect solution in the world. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Your Majesty, please choose one."

If Ling Xiao still devotes himself to Li Yuzhu, then the relationship between them will no longer exist. He has a wife and children, and he will not risk his life to mess around with Ling Xiao like this.
