Chapter 69: Soft-heartedness
Huangfu Ye Han left, and Shangguan Jingxuan also left. One of them is resolute and the other is weak, they are so different, but when Yuan Chengcheng watched Shangguan Jingxuan step by step away from the back of Huawang Palace, she had a strange feeling - it was not Shangguan Jingxuan but another Huangfu Ye Han.
Huangfu's cold departure made her fall into an unprecedented confusion, with no goal and no idea where she was going in the future. But Shangguan Jingxuan's departure woke her up like a bell, the two of them had already taken on their own responsibilities, and she should also learn to grow up, and she could no longer use the excuse that the future colt could take on everything and just have fun. No matter where Huaguo's future goes, she should be as brave as Shangguan Jingxuan to face her own part of the responsibility.
Different from the long incubation period of the Anguo Palace Change, although the Palace Change of Ningguo has been brewing for ten years, it seems that it is only an overnight thing when it is actually implemented. After a night of restful sleep, the people of Ningguo woke up that the whole Ningguo had changed, and the smooth progress of the whole process far exceeded Huangfu Yehan's expectations, but the smoother the process, the more uneasy Huangfu Yehan's heart became, and he had a hunch that the real obstacles of this palace change would be more difficult to overcome than he imagined.
When Huangfu sent troops to surround the Fengming Palace, the dressed Yuan Tingguo was standing on the highest level of the Fengming Hall as usual, with a calm face, as if those people were not surrounding her.
Huangfu Yehan had imagined countless times when he led his troops to besiege Fengming Hall to avenge his mother, but when he really stood at the bottom of the palace steps and looked up at Yuan Tianguo at the highest part of the palace steps, he suddenly had a moment of confusion and was not sure whether she should be killed.
Yuan Tingguo didn't look at him, her gaze crossed the ridge of the heavy eaves and towers, and finally stopped somewhere far away, and Huangfu Yehan almost immediately realized where she was looking. This is not because he thinks Yuan Chengcheng is so calm, because she thinks that her father still has the strength to save her, but the look on her face. He couldn't say what the meaning of Yuan Qiguo's expression was, but it was not the fear and trepidation he imagined, but a kind of sadness that he was familiar with.
"Actually, I never understood you," Yuan Chengcheng said to him as he looked at the darkening sky, "Whether your attitude towards me is cold or intimate, I have never been sure of your heart. I don't know why you've been treating me badly, and I don't know why you've been so nice to me all of a sudden. ”
He suddenly remembered Yuan Chengcheng's expression when he said those words, it was so similar to Yuan Chengguo's expression at this time, but Yuan Tingguo's expression was more decisive than Yuan Chengcheng's.
Huangfu Yehan walked up step by step, at this time he should be thinking about how to kill Yuan Tingguo to avenge his mother, but maybe because their sisters are too similar, he always unconsciously thinks of Yuan Tingcheng when he moves the idea of killing. Hua Guo has no heirs, and there are not many ministers who can rely on to defend the country, Hua Wang has created a perfect dream place for Yuan Chengcheng, but Hua Wang may die at any time when he is old and weak, once Hua Wang goes, who can Yuan Chengcheng rely on? Today he sent troops to surround Yuan Tianguo, what should she do if someone plotted against him and surrounded Huawang Palace?
"I thought you would kill me and avenge your mother." Yuan Tianguo retracted his gaze and smiled at Huangfu Ye. She rarely smiled at him, and the sincerity of her smile at the moment made Huangfu Yehan unable to tell whether she was too good at disguise or really wanted to show favor to him before she died.
Seeing that Huangfu Yehan did not respond, Yuan Tianguo's face became more calm instead of becoming embarrassed, and she asked with a smile: "Did Allure let you go?" ”
Huangfu Yehan frowned slightly, thinking that she wanted to borrow Yuan Chengcheng's kindness to let him spare her life. Although he hesitated slightly, he still answered her truthfully: "Yes." ”
"She's always so soft-hearted!" Yuan Tianguo sighed, "My father doted on her too much, and didn't let her see the darkness and blood of the royal family, making her think that as long as she relied on the five words of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, she could govern the country, but one day she will understand that as a member of the royal family with millions of souls, her soft-heartedness will only cause more killing." ”
Huangfu Yehan thought that she meant that Yuan Chengcheng let him come back to launch a palace mutiny and cause killing, and he didn't think much about it until he recalled the scene many years later, and he realized the deep meaning of her words.
"Back then, your mother also tried to arrest me, but instead of succeeding, she trapped herself, guess you will succeed this time?" Yuan Tianguo looked at Huangfu Yehan with deep meaning, and the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc.
This is the Yuan Tingguo he is familiar with, cunning, insidious, and charming, although her words made him feel uneasy, but seeing the opponent he is familiar with is always better than always seeing the shadow of Yuan Tingcheng on her just now. "Ten years ago, my mother was bitten by you because my father favored you, and now the entire Ning Kingdom is under my control, do you think anyone else will save you?"
"Looks like you thought you had won! But if you want to kill me, the sky wants to save me, what should I do? Yuan Tingguo's smile carried a kind of determination and confidence, as if he really expected that Huangfu Yehan would not kill her.
Huangfu Yehan looked at her, neither of them refused to show weakness first, just when this stalemate, Huangfu Yesheng suddenly ran out, he didn't feel the strange atmosphere between his mother and brother, and happily stepped forward and hugged Huangfu Yehan's thigh: "Brother Wang, why did you come back, Yesheng misses you so much!" ”
Huangfu Yehan thought that Yesheng would be in his palace at this time, but he didn't expect him to run out suddenly, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Huangfu Yesheng saw that Huangfu Yehan didn't react, and raised his head curiously: "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Can't you recognize Yesheng after only a month of not seeing you? Is it true that the queen mother said that you will never come back after marrying Aunt Wang? ”
"I ......" Huangfu Yehan was asked by him and didn't know how to answer, but Yuan Tianguo bent over and stroked Yesheng's head unhurriedly and said: "Your brother Wang has just come back, and the queen mother still has something to say to your brother Wang, you go back to your palace first, and then let him go to you when your brother Wang is free." ”
Huangfu Yesheng hesitated to look at his eldest brother, then at his mother, and whispered into his mother's ear: "Brother Wang has just come back, can the queen mother not discipline Brother Wang today?" Yuan Tianguo glanced at Huangfu Yehan and nodded at his son, and Huangfu Yesheng happily retreated.
Yuan Tianguo straightened his waist, looked at the Fengming Hall behind him, and admonished: "Remember the person who ordered you, don't mess with the things in the Fengming Palace, I don't want my dormitory to be turned over beyond recognition when I come back!" ”
"I'll remember what I was told, but I'm afraid you won't come back." Huangfu looked coldly at Yuan Qianguo, who was still proud. Yuan Tingguo just sneered and said provocatively: "Then try it!" ”
