Chapter 131: Not Worth It
"Yan Yan, thank you for not only caring about the spirit stone at that time, but saving me!" Lan Xinran suddenly said sincerely, grateful that he was not a person who was just for profit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just now he said that on the day he woke up the spirit stone, he was in a hurry to save her, so he didn't pay much attention to the spirit stone, which proved that she was more important than the spirit stone in his heart at that time, otherwise if he was a person who only wanted to get the spirit stone, he would not care about the safety of the person who woke up the spirit stone, and Lan Xinran was very moved in her heart.
An Lieyan smiled lightly, "Although we didn't get married according to the normal wedding procedures, how can I say that you are also my princess, and you should be saved!" ”
Lan Xinran smiled softly, and then asked, "Then what's the matter with you never entering the palace?" ”
Asked about this, An Lieyan sighed slightly, and then said lightly: "It's not that I never enter the palace, it's just that I will only enter the palace to participate in the memorial service on the day of the first emperor's sacrifice!" ”
"Why?"
"Actually, it was because of the emperor that I didn't enter the palace again, and I didn't care about the affairs of the court anymore!"
"At that time, I was very angry with him because of that incident, I didn't want to face him anymore, and I couldn't face it, because I couldn't forgive him for betraying the brotherhood between us for his own selfishness, after all, in the situation at that time, all the princes were ready to move, I didn't trust anyone, I only believed him, I thought that even if everyone wanted me to die, they wanted to deal with me, but he would never be, and in the end... The person I believed in the most betrayed me! ”
Speaking of the past, An Lieyan's face was cold and a little indifferent, but it had been a long time since the incident, and the anger in his heart had already gone, so when he talked about it again, there was no anger, and some were just melancholy and sadness.
In the past, he hated his younger brother Lie Yun, who is now the emperor, and hated him for seeing the dragon chair more than the brotherhood between them, but he had always been attentive to him, and when all the princes were eyeing the dragon chair at that time, he still trusted him very much and never doubted him.
Because in addition to the good relationship between them, they are also brothers of the same mother, and they are closer than other princes, so in his heart he has always simply thought that the feelings between them are different, and their feelings will not be polluted by the power of *, but what he didn't expect was that in the end he didn't hold back the power in his heart* and chose to betray him.
Although he regretted what he had done afterwards and begged him for forgiveness, the trust between people is really only once, and it is impossible to become the same trust as before in the future, and there will always be a mustard in his heart, so after so many years have passed in a flash, he has not returned to the palace again, and slowly his heart is used to the emperor is now so unfamiliar!
"What made him betray you, it can't be because of the throne, right?" She asked with a confused look, because from An Lieyan's words, it seemed to be the weather when the prince was competing for the throne, and then it was the current emperor who ascended the throne, and the ten* was because the throne betrayed him.
"That's right, at that time, my father always favored me, and everyone thought that the throne would be passed on to me after a hundred years of father, so all the princes at that time dealt with me openly and secretly, but only the emperor who was the same mother as me would not, he had a very good relationship with me, no matter how other princes dealt with me, he always stood on my side to help me, and even clashed with other princes for me many times, at that time in my heart, my relationship with him could not be changed no matter what, but in the end, it ......"
An Lieyan didn't continue to say anything after saying the last sentence halfway, and his deep eyes were full of sadness.
Seeing the discomfort in his heart, she was also a little sad in her heart, but she continued to ask, "Then how did he seize the throne later?" ”
"When Xiang Yaoguo led the troops to attack, I led the troops to fight, but at that time, my father suddenly fell seriously ill, and the emperor knew that although my father loved him the same, but my father always felt that it was most suitable for me to succeed to the throne, so my father wanted to call me back to the palace when he knew that his body was about to be unable to support it for long, but the emperor lied at this time that the front line came to report that I was surrounded by enemy troops and my whereabouts were unknown. Although he sent someone to find my whereabouts, I think the emperor must have obstructed it, and he will not let people tell me that my father is seriously ill, and finally my father knew that he could not wait for my whereabouts, so for the sake of the overall situation, he passed the throne to him, and when I came back from victory, he had already ascended the throne! ”
"How can the emperor be like this, it's too much, how can he do such a thing, the most pitiful thing is the old emperor, as a parent, he loves you so much, and when he is seriously ill, he will hear the news that you are in distress, he must be sad and die, maybe he will still be worried until he dies, and he can't go with peace of mind, the emperor is simply not human!"
Lan Xinran was very excited after listening to the ins and outs, feeling unfair for him, and even more pitiful for the emperor, although he was the emperor, but aside from this identity, he was a seriously ill old man, when he heard the news of his son's death, how could he bear it, the current emperor is also his son, does the emperor have no conscience at all, and he can't bear to let his elderly father hear such a cruel thing.
However, since ancient times, the struggle for power and throne has been like this, there is no so-called conscience at all, it has long been wiped clean by desire, and there is only the imperial power and throne in my heart, and I can't tolerate anything else!
An Lieyan frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and sighed lightly, with sadness, his father has always loved him very much, and his father is kind like ordinary people's families, when he learned that he had false news, he must have been very sad to learn that he had falsely reported the news, but he couldn't come back to see him for the last time, so he died with worry, and he felt very uncomfortable when he thought about it!
"Then what about later, Yan Yan, don't you tell the truth of the matter after you go back?" Seeing that he didn't speak, she continued to ask about the future, since everything was fake, then he could tell everything after he won the battle and came back, so that everyone knew, since the old emperor had always intended to pass on the throne to him was something that everyone knew, as long as he told the truth, everyone could know that the current emperor was seeking power and usurping the throne.
"What else is there to say, things are not so simple, it was a foregone conclusion at that time, once the truth is told, it will involve a lot and cause a lot of controversy, which is also related to the royal face!"
"And at that time, I was already extremely disappointed, I had no intention of facing him again, and I didn't want to care about anything anymore, so I chose to leave!"
At that time, his father passed away, and his most trusted brother betrayed him, and his heart was already seriously hit, how could he still have the heart to discuss the truth?
"Then no one asked you about your distress? You're back all of a sudden, someone is always going to ask, right? ”
"It's a question, but I helped him round that lie!" An Lieyan was silent for a long time before answering.
"Why, Yan Yan, why did you do that, he treated you like that, why did you help him deceive everyone and admit that there was really such a thing as being in danger?" Lan Xinran was very excited and asked three whys in a row, and couldn't understand why he did this.
"Because it's a foregone conclusion, because the truth is harmful, and because ......" and because although I hate him and am angry with him, I can't be so decisive, after all, he is my brother, and the bits and pieces between me and him are still in my heart.
An Lieyan wanted to say this, but he didn't continue to say it halfway through, because he didn't want to say the feelings for him anymore, even if he was no longer worthy of forgiveness, but once he told the truth regardless of all the consequences, in the end he would end up with a fiasco, and he couldn't do it so absolutely, so he finally chose to back down, but although he didn't want to hurt him, he couldn't forgive him anymore, so he left the palace and no longer cared about anything about the palace and the court!
Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, she knew the pain in his heart, so she comforted: "Yanyan, don't be sad, it's not worth being sad for someone like him!" ”
He hooked the corners of his lips slightly, "I'm not sad, it's been so many years, I was angry with him at first, and even hated him, but now I don't care about this anymore!" ”
"Since you haven't been involved in the palace for so long, why is it rumored that the Flame King is so powerful that even the emperor has to give him three points?"
When she was still in the General's Palace, she could often hear about the Flame King, saying that he was a terrible person, moody, eccentric, and lived on top of a cliff, and she made many speculations about it, but these were nothing, because these were facts, but why would someone say that the power of the Flame King was even above the emperor, and the emperor wanted to let him come with three points? He obviously never had anything to do with the emperor or the palace, why would there be such a thing, strange!
"These are all reasons why the emperor has done too much, which will make people misunderstand!" An Lieyan replied lightly.
