Chapter 1050

This was a dilemma.

For the indecisive Yi Xiaochuan, it was difficult to choose.

From the perspective of gratitude and righteousness, Master Hearing Xiang Liang and Brother Xiang Yu were deeply indebted to him. It could be said that when he first arrived in this world, he was saved by them. Afterward, they taught him martial arts and many ancient studies.

If it were not for their teachings, Yi Xiaochuan doubted whether he could survive in this era.

Killing his own teacher and sworn brother was something Yi Xiaochuan could not do.

But if he did not do this,

both he and Yushu would die.

It did not matter if he died, but Yi Xiaochuan did not want to implicate Yushu to die with him.

Even if Yushu did not mind.

They could be a pair of lovers in the underworld after death, but was that the end? No, it was not that easy.

Yushu was, after all, the Princess of Tu'an.

Coming to Qin this time, she represented Tu'an to marry into Qin, wanting to seek Qin's protection for Tu'an.

Tu'an was a small country, close to the Rongdi and Xiongnu. These two forces were powerful. Tu'an could not resist them alone. Only by relying on Qin could it avoid the fate of being annexed by the Rongdi and Xiongnu.

It could be said that as long as Yushu was alive, the alliance between the two countries would always exist, and Qin would protect Tu'an.

But if Yushu died with a scandal,

the so-called alliance would be a joke to Qin.

Yi Xiaochuan did not doubt Su Xuan's previous words at all. Perhaps before the Rongdi and Xiongnu annexed Tu'an, to prevent them from picking up a bargain, Qin would destroy Tu'an first.

Yi Xiaochuan knew very well what Tu'an meant to Yushu.

Back then, it was for Tu'an that Yushu gave up her personal feelings for him and chose to come to Xianyang.

Even though they had a chance to escape on the way, Yushu chose to return.

It could be said that if anything was more important than her own life, for Yushu, that thing must be Tu'an.

This choice was something Yi Xiaochuan could not make.

On one side was his teacher and brother who were deeply indebted to him, and on the other side was Yushu.

"Xiaochuan, you don't have to worry about me..."

Yushu saw Yi Xiaochuan's struggle and forced herself to say to Yi Xiaochuan while holding her breath.

Although she said so, her heart was actually trembling.

She did not understand what Hearing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu meant to Yi Xiaochuan, but she could see that these two people were very important to Xiaochuan.

She did not want to see Xiaochuan hurt people who were important to him for the sake of her own life.

Of course, if she died, it would implicate Tu'an. This matter made her very miserable, but compared to Xiaochuan's misery, her own misery was not that important.

"No, there must be another solution!"

Yi Xiaochuan heard the resolution in Yushu's words and hurriedly said, whispering constantly, "I will definitely think of another solution!"

Although he said so, did he really have a solution?

No.

At least, now, he could not think of any perfect solution.

Either he and Yushu die, and Tu'an is buried with them.

Or, he goes to kill Hearing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, uses their heads to perform a great service, and exchanges it for his and Yushu's survival. Even, according to the words of the person in front of him, he might be able to live with Yushu.

But this happiness was built on the basis of killing his teacher and brother. Yi Xiaochuan could not do such a thing.

Su Xuan looked at the struggling Yi Xiaochuan, a faint sneer outlining the corner of his mouth.

"I have already given you the choice. I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. My patience is limited."

"If you cannot give me an answer for a long time, I don't mind telling the Emperor about your affairs. In that way, you don't have to make a choice, and you can even be ghost husband and wife with her, and there will be a country to be buried with you. This is a great honor!"

Calling it a great honor, but did Yi Xiaochuan really want such an honor?

No, he did not want it.

(aiee)

Su Xuan glanced at Yi Xiaochuan one last time and then left.

After Su Xuan left, Yi Xiaochuan was in no mood to feed Yushu breakfast.

This morning, because of Su Xuan's arrival, his mood became extremely heavy. His good mood for the day was completely destroyed, and he no longer felt any happiness in being with his beloved.

After leaving Yi Xiaochuan's place, Su Xuan went to Seeing Ying Zheng.

Although he told Yi Xiaochuan that he would help him hide the truth for Lu Su's sake, that was just an excuse to fob Yi Xiaochuan off. After arriving in front of Seeing Ying Zheng, Su Xuan directly told him about the matter between Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu.

Learning that the Jade Beauty he had conferred had an illicit affair with an outsider, Seeing Ying Zheng was furious.

Originally, to him, she was just a barbarian woman, and he had not received her favor, so it was not worth his anger. But Seeing Ying Zheng hated "illicit affairs" and "adultery" the most, which made him think of his mother, Zhao Ji.

In his own world, he had experienced his mother having an affair with Lao Ai and betraying him.

After coming to this world, by reading the memories of the previous Qin Huang, besides knowing the difference between the two worlds, what was even more unforgettable to him was the memory of the Qin Huang in his youth, which was similar to his experience, having also experienced his mother having an affair with Lao Ai and betraying him.

At this moment, learning that Yi Xiaochuan had an affair with Yushu, Seeing Ying Zheng subconsciously wanted to send someone to arrest Yi Xiaochuan and execute him.

However, Seeing Ying Zheng soon realized a detail.

"Since the State Preceptor discovered this matter long ago, why didn't he deal with Yi Xiaochuan immediately, but instead informed me?"

Moreover, this so-called Yi Xiaochuan seemed to have entered the palace with Cui Wenzi.

On the day of the epidemic in the imperial palace, Su Xuan cured everyone, but only left Yushu behind. The explanation Su Xuan gave him was that he was fishing out the person who refined the elixir of immortality by issuing an imperial edict to the common people.

Then, why would the person who could refine the elixir of immortality enter the palace?

Now, Seeing Ying Zheng knew.

Cui Wenzi might have entered the imperial palace because of Yi Xiaochuan.

Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu had an affair long ago. Upon learning that Yushu in the imperial palace was ill, he found Cui Wenzi, took the imperial edict, and came to the imperial palace.

Since Su Xuan knew this long ago but did not deliberately make it public, he must have his own calculations.

Su Xuan revealed a mysterious smile and said indifferently: "To tell the truth, Your Majesty, Yi Xiaochuan is very useful!"

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Seeing Ying Zheng was puzzled.

"What if I tell Your Majesty that Yi Xiaochuan is a traveler?"

Su Xuan's words left Seeing Ying Zheng stunned.
