Chapter Seventy-Two: As Your Future Wife
Xuan Yue was stared at very uncomfortably by Pei Xiu's sharp eyes at the moment, but he couldn't figure out what he meant by this sudden sentence, "I don't understand what you mean." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Do you know that the Lord Wei Chi, whom you love deeply, is the murderer of the former emperor?"
"Do you know what you're talking about? Are you crazy? "Even though Yu Chi Xin's ancestor is indeed not a Xizhao person, but he has always served the royal family loyally, now that Pei Xiu has said such a thing, Xuan Yue naturally can't believe it, and it is a capital crime to talk nonsense about the death of the emperor, is it just to make Xuan Yue give up, Pei Xiu slandered Wei Chixin like this, is he really confused?
"I know you don't believe it, I only learned about this secret not long ago, and I didn't believe it at first, but there are all the human and material evidence, and the emperor was indeed poisoned by the commander."
"The first emperor died of illness, and besides, I know Wei Chixin, it is absolutely impossible for him to harm the first emperor." Xuan Yue clenched her fists, and her heart was firm: Impossible, the death of the first emperor must have nothing to do with Wei Chixin, and the human and physical evidence can be fake!
"You said you knew Governor Wei Chixin, so do you know where he came from before he became the head of the royal family?"
"This..."Xuan Yue was speechless for a moment when asked, indeed, she only knew that it was the emperor who brought him back at the beginning, but she didn't know where Wei Chixin came from and what his identity was in the past.
"Do you know the country of Qianyuan?"
"Chihara Country? Is it the small country north of the Guansuoling Mountains? Later, it seemed to be ......" Xuan Yue was a little evasive about the history of Xizhao and did not continue to talk about it.
"Yes, more than ten years ago, we destroyed the country by Xizhao, and Wei Chi Xin, who was the deputy general of the army of Qianyuan Kingdom, in a battle with Xi Zhao Kingdom, the two armies were almost wiped out, only Wei Chi Xin survived, and I don't know what happened in the middle, but it is certain that he came to Xi Zhao Country to take revenge."
Pei Xiu noticed Xuan Yue's pupils trembling slightly in shock, and continued: "After Wei Chixin was brought back to Xizhao Kingdom by the first emperor, he secretly poisoned the first emperor's tea every day, maybe because of the first emperor's trust in him, he used ******** because of his inner conflict, so this is why it is difficult for others to detect. ”
Xuan Yue seemed to finally understand the source of the indifference and death in Wei Chixin's eyes.
"Where do you know these things......
"Before the death of the emperor, he called Yu Chixin to the dormitory alone, it turned out that the emperor knew that Yu Chixin was poisoned, but he did not expose Wei Chixin and drank poisoned tea every day, because the emperor was guilty and remorseful about destroying the Qianyuan Kingdom at that time, and because the emperor saw the ability and personality of Lieutenant Chixin, he hoped to exchange his own body for Yu Chixin to serve Xizhao loyally in the future, and let go of the hatred in his heart. In order to make that incident a secret, the emperor sent all the inner prison maids around him out of the palace, including the inner eunuch who heard the secret. A few days ago, by accident, I learned everything from the prisoner. ”
"Could it be that he wants..."
"That's right, he has been guarding this secret for so many years, and although the emperor intended to protect Wei Chixin, the servant finally hopes to be able to make everything public and avenge the emperor who was kind to him."
"So you're going to tell Your Majesty all this?"
"Yes, soon, Governor Wei Chixin will become a sinner in Xizhao Kingdom, such a person is not worthy of your love, Xuan Yue."
"Don't denounce him." Xuan Yue's eyes were full of pleading.
Pei Xiu seemed to have expected Xuan Yue to say this, and replied to her flatly: "That's about the emperor, I don't have any reason to shield such a sinner, although Wei Chixin has been loyal to the country for so many years, but the fact that he killed the emperor is still unchanged, I can't sit idly by, I hope you don't forget, you and I are both people of Xizhao Kingdom." ”
Xuan Yue's mind was in a mess, and her loyalty to the country told her: The person who poisoned the former emperor deserved it even if he was cut with a thousand knives. Can...... This is Wei Chixin, how can she watch him be given to death. Even if he came for revenge, after so many years of fighting on the battlefield for Xizhao Kingdom, he made great contributions, the emperor in heaven, he can get a chance to be forgiven, right?
In the end, all the contradictions in Xuan Yue's troubles turned into a cry from the bottom of his heart: "I don't want to watch Wei Chixin being spurned by the people and executed!" No! ”
Xuan Yue came back to her senses, slowly picked up the pigeon blood red necklace in the brocade box on the table, and stretched it out in front of Pei Xiu, "So, what if I, as your future wife, ask you not to denounce him?" ”
Xuan Yue's actions were unexpected by Pei Xiu, he looked at Xuan Yue in disbelief, his hand was tightened, and after a while, he regained the smile on his face, took the necklace, and got up to put it on her slender neck for Xuan Yue.
"Well, I'm going to keep it a secret forever."
Early in the morning, Xuan Shao was summoned into the palace.
Xuan Yue proposed that he also wanted to go out for a walk, so he walked to the palace with Xuan Shao.
"Have you really decided to marry Pei Xiu?" Walking on the road, Xuan Shao remembered that the night before, Xuan Yue came back and said lightly: "Mother, brother, I agreed to Pei Xiu's proposal to marry." After that, he went back to his room and locked the door, so Xuan Shao didn't have a chance to talk to his sister about it.
"Hmm."
"Why did you suddenly accept him, you are not in your heart..."Xuan Shao almost blurted out the word "Wei Chixin".
"Brother, people change, don't they, besides, Pei Xiu is very much in line with his mother's requirements in all aspects."
"But this is your own lifelong event, brother doesn't want you to be dissatisfied and unhappy, just to cater to your mother's expectations and the needs of the family."
"I know, I ...... I like him very much, he's been very good to me these days together, everything needs a process, doesn't it? Xuan Yue pretended to smile at Xuan Shao easily.
How could Xuan Shao not see that Xuan Yue's words were insincere? He knew very well that it was impossible for Xuan Yue to let go of Wei Chixin in his heart, so why did his sister suddenly want to marry Pei?
The guard's salute interrupted Xuan Shao's speculation, and he came back to his senses to find that the two had already walked to the west gate of the palace.
Approaching the time of the last dynasty, many princes and ministers who were about to enter the palace around, the two continued to move forward, but found that everyone was slightly different today, it seemed that they were talking about something, and when they saw Xuan Shao and Xuan Yue coming, everyone surrounded them.
"Congratulations, I heard that Xuan Yue and you and Pei Xiu are about to get engaged."
"What a talented man and a woman, a pair of beautiful women!"
"This is really a great joy for our Xizhao country!"
I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and in the face of everyone's congratulations, Xuan Yue thanked him stiffly, but he didn't find that he was about to enter the palace after returning from an errand outside the palace.
