Chapter 2 and Chapter 2 Life and Death Together
Bai Siye's eyes made her a little unbearable to continue. But she knew that none of them would want to go on like this without making it clear. It's like a pustule that doesn't break, it bleeds, it doesn't feel the pain to the bone, and it will never get better.
Ye Daiwan endured the sharp pain in her heart and continued to speak word by word. "There's no way I'm entrusting my life to him anymore. ”
"Why? Why, just because his surname is Xu, can't you trust him? Can't you see everything he has done? On Qiaoshan, he swore to die for you, and our brother died for the sake of your order that did not want to hurt the innocent. Did he say anything? Did he retreat?"
"Not a single step, not a single step back. ”
Ye Daiwan smiled. Of course, she hadn't forgotten that it was the only reliable back in the shadow of the sword. His armor was covered in blood, but not a single hair of her hair was harmed.
How can you forget such a back?
Of course she remembers.
But there is nothing eternal in this world. No matter how high the mountain peaks are, no matter how vast the lakes are filled in, what confidence does a small human have to ensure that he will not change?
She understands this, and Xu Jingming understands it too. So they chose to say goodbye.
Just to avoid that one day in the future, one of them will take advantage of this trust and hurt the other.
"Then you want me to believe him, even if he has resigned from the position of Right Fengchenwei, even if he has returned to the Xu family's camp?" Ye Daiwan desperately held back, the tip of her nose was sour, and her eyes were slightly red, but she refused to let tears fall out.
This fact made Bai Siye stunned. He stumbled and reassured. "But Ansan will never betray His Majesty. He would never do anything to hurt His Majesty. ”
"I believe that. Even if someone put a knife on his neck and forced him to kill me, he would never obey his orders. But we all know that he will not do anything to hurt the Xu family. If one day the clan that raised him asks him to do a trivial thing, do you think he will do it?"
"If it doesn't hurt His Majesty, he'll do it. Bai Siye scratched the back of his head and said.
Ye Daiwan glanced at him with pity. She now knew why Xu Jingming would push this man to her side, this is a loyal person. He has a simple heart, and it can also be said to be a tendon, such a person will definitely be able to go to the end with her.
He ended up leaving her with someone to use.
"But it's such a trivial thing, which often affects the whole situation of the war. In the first year of Tianyou, Emperor Chengmin ascended the throne, and the family rebelled and captured Luoyang. Do you know how Luoyang City fell?"
"I know that the general defending the city did not know that the other party was a rebel and opened the city gate, causing the city to be lost. "Such an example, how could Bai Siye not know, this is common sense.
Ye Daiwan took it softly. "But do you know that the captain who defended the city did not know the news of the rebels, precisely because one of his maids had received the favor of the Shangguan family and hid the newspaper in his study. As a result, he missed the news and committed suicide by being captured. And it was the Shangguan family who commanded the rebels to attack Luoyang. ”
"It's just a small thing. It couldn't be smaller, and even the maid didn't take the report, but hid it at the bottom of the document, so that he didn't have time to see it. The maid thought that she had done a trivial thing in order to repay her kindness. But her master was harmed, and all the 100,000 troops stationed in Luoyang City were killed. ”
"The war burned for three whole years, and there were corpses of people who died of war and starvation everywhere, and more than half of the population of Luoyang alone was lost. Just because of this trivial thing. Say, 'Do I dare to give him my life?' Do you dare to give him all your lives?"
Bai Siye completely lost the strength to refute, he was like a child, he was full of tears, crying bitterly.
Ye Daiwan stood there, not trying to comfort him. Although she understands this truth, emotions are often not swayed by reason. She looked at him and let him cry bitterly, and the stupid and innocent thoughts in her heart went with the cry.
She couldn't lie to herself forever. The reality is always more cruel than that, and she can only let the little girl in her heart who doesn't want to grow up recognize the facts. She can no longer trust Ansan with life and death.
"But I believe Ansan is still on our side. Ye Daiwan saw that he was crying, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped his tears. "Because Ansan left me a general. He was brave and unstoppable, and most importantly, Ansan thought he was loyal and could follow me to the end. ”
"Who is this person? Your Majesty, you call out, I want to see you. As soon as Bai Siye said this, Xie Xuan and Ye Daiwan couldn't help laughing.
"This person's surname is Bai, his name is Si Ye, and his words are clear. Bai Rongqing, are you willing to be my right Fengchen guard and protect my empress who is in constant danger?" Ye Daiwan looked into his eyes and said solemnly.
"Yes, is it me?" Bai Siye was stunned stupidly, then reacted, immediately laughed, and knelt in front of Ye Daiwan without hesitation. "The minister is willing to serve His Majesty, and I am willing to protect His Majesty on behalf of Ansan. Just Your Majesty, I have a request. ”
Ye Daiwan could guess what he wanted to say, but still asked gently. "Say it. What is it?"
"Please Your Majesty, if the Xu family does something disobedient, don't implicate him. And if possible, can Your Majesty let him come back? No, no, I mean can you call him back after the incident has been calmed down, and there is no danger left. No, I mean...... "This man is really as innocent as a child."
Ye Daiwan didn't refuse, she said with a smile.
"As long as he's not involved, I'm not going to pursue it. And as long as he is willing to come back, I will always be ready to sweep the bed. ”
"That'...... When he comes back, will you trust him?" This Bai Siye is not without any brains. Speaking of which, the surname Bai seems to be a family, but now there is no trace of them in the court.
"Why not? He saved my life. Even if I am a useless empress and cannot give him anything, he is willing to follow me. Of course I trust him. Ye Daiwan is finally willing to face this reality. And she discovers that reality is not as bad as she thinks.
Xu Jingming did return to Xu's house. But there was no way he was willing to go along with them. If they wanted him to rebel with him by the grace of the clan, he would definitely not do it.
Ye Daiwan knew that he was a person with a bottom line and a conscience, so he was willing to go against his ambition and leave her to go back to the Xu family. How could a person who is not grateful simply betray her. If the current situation is lifted, she will be able to grasp the absolute upper hand and control the government.
At that time, the Maison will definitely fight among themselves for their own interests. Ye Dai watched from the wall, and it was not a fisherman's profit. When there is no absolute conflict between the family and the imperial power, Xu Jingming can come back. The Xu family would cry and beg him to come back.
Ye Daiwan clenched her fists, she had to let that day come sooner. That poisonous tongue, I didn't listen to it for a long time, and I missed it very much.
