    Thousands of times, the two of them had imagined the scene of their reunion, but they never expected that it would be under such circumstances. Seeing Smith's somewhat astonished expression, Li Xuanji burst into tears and said with a smile: "Mr. Smith, go ahead.  Well, I want to have a chat with this gentleman alone"

    Smith responded, ordered a waiter to take the two of them to a special reception room, and then left, thinking: "Could it be that the way we brewed tea was really wrong, that's why that gentleman didn't drink Dahongpao?"  of?"

    The reception room of Licha Hotel is very luxurious. All the furniture is European goods, and there is also a small self-service bar.  Standing at the bar counter, Li Xuanji suppressed her inner impulse and asked softly: "Your Highness, what would you like to drink?"

    Xiao Yungui approached the counter, but Li Xuanji took a step back unconsciously. Xiao Yungui took two tall wine glasses and a bottle of brandy, and said lightly: "Are you so afraid of me? Mrs. Rothschild.  "

    When Li Xuanji heard Mrs. Rothschild's words, her delicate body trembled slightly, she turned around and said quietly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself if I get too close to you, Your Highness the King of the West."

    Xiao Yungui sat back on the sofa. After getting two glasses of brandy, he drank his own glass in one gulp, then sighed softly and asked, "Is he good to you?"

    Li Xuanji also sat opposite him, but did not lift the wine glass. She just hummed softly and said, "He is very good to me."

    There followed a long period of silence between the two. Finally, Xiao Yungui mustered up the courage to interrupt the silence: "Xuanji, I want you to come back to me!"

    "It's impossible, I'm already someone else's wife"

    "But you don't love him, right?"

    "He is my husband!"

    "You are deceiving yourself!"

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of talking about this now?¡±

    After the two had a fierce talk about themselves.  There was another silence, and then Xiao Yungui broke the silence: "Your brother was captured by us and is in Shanghai now. I think you can meet him."

    "Thank you" Li Xuanji lowered her head and said softly: "I can only meet him, and I can't have any other requests, right?"

    Xiao Yungui hummed and said: "As a Han, he helped the tyrants and did many wrong things. I can't let him go for personal gain. He will accept the trial of the court."

    Li Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, hummed slightly and said, "That's fine. If you are really showing favoritism, I don't know how to return this favor to you."

    Xiao Yungui stood up suddenly, took Li Xuanji's hand and said loudly: "As long as you come back to me. I can show favoritism, and I can let your brother go!"

    Li Xuanji shrank back in panic, but she couldn't open Xiao Yungui's big hand. She looked at him miserably and said: "How can you abolish the official position for selfish reasons when you are in a high position? As an emperor, you cannot raise an army out of anger. Nor can you.  Trapped in love, I don¡¯t want you to show favoritism. You must know that it¡¯s hard to recover from flooding, so why are you looking for trouble?¡±

    Xiao Yungui pulled Li Xuanji into his arms and said calmly: "I will rule the world in the future, the earth will be under my feet, the wind and clouds will change color because of me, and everything in the world will be decided by me. So I will let the person I like always be by my side.  !¡±

    "Precisely because you are the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and precisely because you will rule the world in the future. Precisely because you will control the world in the future, I can never stay by your side!" Li Xuanji suddenly broke away and said with tears:  "How does an emperor get true love? Now Clifford at least treats me wholeheartedly, what can you give me? Where is the Queen of the West? What will she do? What about the Kingdom of Heaven? Will you completely offend Clifford's family for me? Heaven will do this because of this  You are in trouble! You are the Western King of Heaven, and you are not alone! It was for this reason that I left at the beginning, and it is still for this reason now. Unless you give up the power of the Western King, I can fly away with you! Can you give up the title of the Western King?  Bit?!"

    Xiao Yungui let go of his hand in a daze, sat back on the sofa slumped, looked at Li Xuanji blankly for a while and then said: "Then what are you doing back?"

    Li Xuanji sighed softly and said quietly: "This is my hometown. Of course I want to come back and see it. Your Highness, Your Highness, doesn't this also require your approval?"

    Xiao Yungui lit up a Xiaodao brand cigarette very depressed, took a deep puff and said, "Do you need my help?"

    Li Xuanji slowly shook her head and said, "I'm very happy that you can let me see my brother. Thank you."

    Xiao Yungui violently put out the cigarette butt, and said unwillingly: "Xuanji, is it really irreversible?"

    The bright tears in Li Xuanji's eyes were like shining pearls. She smiled sweetly with tears in her eyes and said: "You continue to be your King of the West, and I will be my Mrs. Rothschild. Since fate has already arranged it this way, why bother? Even if  When you are in a high position in the future, you will also find thatYou can't really do whatever you want with many things, so why not just let it go?  Wouldn't it be better for each other to keep each other deep in their hearts?  "

    After drinking a large glass of brandy, Xiao Yungui felt that the effect of wine was so wonderful at this moment. After drinking a large glass of brandy, he slowly stood up, stretched out his right hand and said: "Madam, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible."  Meet your brother, and I will ask someone to pick you up when the time comes. I wish you happiness." After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back, leaving only Li Xuanji with her hands wrapped around her arms, with tears in her eyes.  Like a spring flowing down, Beiqi bit her red lips tightly, only to see bright red blood flowing down.

    After leaving the Licha Hotel, Xiao Yungui didn't even know how he returned to the Xiwang Villa in Shanghai. Then he got drunk. After waking up, he took a cold shower in the cold weather. Then he woke up and laughed secretly.  Standing up: "Xiao Yungui, Xiao Yungui, you are not a lover, why do you have the troubles of a lover? As Xuanji said, how can you get love if you can't let go of power? I'm just a woman, is it worthy of you?"

    On the third day, Xiao Yungui arranged for someone to take Li Xuanji to the Shanghai Prisoner of War Camp to meet Li Chong, and Li Xuanji went happily.  The Shanghai prisoner-of-war camp held dozens of senior Qing generals and hundreds of ordinary Qing prisoners of war, all of whom were die-hards who were unwilling to surrender. Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began its conquest of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had ordered that no more prisoners should be killed or tortured. The prisoner-of-war camp  They are established in various places to facilitate centralized management and transformation.

    In the reception room of the prisoner of war camp.  Li Xuanji saw Li Chong in prison uniform. His hands and feet were heavily shackled, and his braids had been cut off.  A few inches of hair had begun to grow on his forehead, which he hadn't shaved for a long time, and his beard hadn't been shaved for a long time. Although he looked very haggard, at least his limbs were sound and there were no signs of being beaten.

    "Brother, are you okay?" Li Xuanji saw her brother's appearance, and any anger she had towards him disappeared.

    Li Chong smiled bitterly.  He raised the heavy shackles on his hands and said: "How can a prisoner under the stairs be better? I'm just waiting to be taken out and beheaded."

    Li Xuanji couldn't help but shed tears: "If I had known, why would I have to do this today? My father and mother were killed by the Qing army. You helped the evildoer, no wonder you would end up like this."

    Li Chong raised his head, still sneering rebelliously: "Are you here just to laugh at me? Are you filial to your parents? If you are filial to your parents, you won't marry a foreign devil! You won't watch your eldest brother being raped.  Changmao beheads him! Then our Li family will be extinct!"

    Li Xuanji just shed tears and said: "You said this even though you haven't regretted it yet. Do you think you have ended up like this? Will my sister feel better?"

    Li Chong sneered: "You wish your eldest brother would die. Anyway, your last relative in this world is gone, so you can do whatever you want."

    Li Xuanji said angrily: "Brother, how can you say that?!"

    Li Chong snorted and said, "What should I say if I don't say that? Are you still going to save me? If not, just stop teaching me a lesson here!"

    Li Xuanji stared at Li Zhong speechless. How could the gentle and elegant elder brother become like this?  After a long time, Li Xuanji sighed softly and said: "I can't save you, so you can take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned to leave. Li Zhong said anxiously: "Sister, what I just said was a bit harsh. Don't  Walk."

    Li Xuanji said calmly: "If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can do it for you."

    Li Chong said with a mournful face: "Sister, are you really going to just watch my brother die like this?" Then Li Chong said with a look of hope and prayer on his face: "Sister, I heard that your husband-in-law is from England.  Big shot, if you ask him to save my brother, if that doesn't work, isn't Taiping Xiwang also your old friend? Go and beg him, if that doesn't work, just stay with him for a few nights, maybe"

    At this point, there was only a snap sound, and Li Xuanji angrily slapped Li Zhong in the face, and then shouted angrily: "You are still not a human being, and you actually said such words! I don't have a brother like you!" After that, she turned around and rolled her sleeves.  And go.

    After walking out of the prisoner-of-war camp, Li Xuanji walked to the foot of the wall and couldn't hold on any longer. She covered her face with the wall and started crying. Her anguish about the remaining love for King Xi and her disappointment in her elder brother came to her heart at the same time. Tears rushed out, as if to make her cry.  I've been crying out of sadness these past few days.

    At this moment, a carriage stopped on the side of the road, and a man walked down, handed over a piece of silk, and said softly: "Are you grievanced?"

    Li Xuanji raised her head, slightly startled, but this person was her husband Clifford. Women always want to find a shoulder at such times, so she leaned into her husband's arms and cried loudly.

    Clifford gently hugged his wife, not trying to persuade her. He just hugged her quietly. When her crying gradually stopped, he said softly: "Don't worry, I know your brother has become a widow."I will rescue the prisoner of the army.  "

    Li Xuanji let out a soft sigh and sobbed: "Clifford, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not agree, you don't have to"

    Clifford smiled slightly and said: "The Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has promised that I will pay a ransom. I am here today to go through some procedures. You go back by car first, and I will come back with your brother later.  .¡±

    Although Li Xuanji hated her eldest brother, that person was still her eldest brother after all. After hesitating for a moment, Li Xuanji nodded. Only then did Li Xuanji realize that there was another person standing next to Clifford, but he was the consul of the British Consulate, Ali Guo.

    Ah Liguo nodded slightly to Li Xuanji. Li Xuanji blushed and responded with a ladylike salute, then got on the carriage and headed back to the Licha Hotel.

    Watching the carriage leave, Aliguo stood next to Clifford and whispered: "I didn't expect that the person in the north who asked us to save was the madam's brother. It's just that I can't figure out that an elder brother is from the Qing Dynasty and a younger sister joined the Taiping."  military."

    Clifford smiled slightly and said: "In Chinese terms, this is just a favor. As for the differences in factions, it is normal. I heard that the consul's wife also believes in Islam and not Christianity?"

    Ali Guo laughed dumbly and said: "Let's go and handle the release procedures for our Mr. Li. Your wife is still waiting for her relatives to be reunited" (To be continued)
