Chapter 321: Determination
Know!
How could he not know?
Imperial power is supreme, as the Son of Heaven, a word can decide people's fate and life and death! Competing with the emperor for a woman is like using a mantis arm as a car, which is similar to committing suicide.
If he was smart enough, he should weigh the trade-offs and give up on the idea.
But he couldn't!
He can't and doesn't want to let go!
First Empress Xu, then the emperor! They are high above the sky and naturally decide the fate of those around them. Are those who are humble supposed to live in despair and helplessness?
No, he doesn't want to accept his fate!
"I'm sorry, big sister. I can't let go, I can't turn a blind eye. Wei Yan's deep eyes were full of apology: "I'm really sorry." I am willful for a while, and I am afraid that it will implicate you in the future. ”
Wei Jieyu was stunned for a moment, slowly let go of Wei Yan, and then slowly sat down.
Wei Yan stepped forward and knelt in front of Wei Jieyu: "Back then, you were brought into the palace by Queen Xu, and I was alone outside the palace and full of panic. Later, you became the emperor's concubine, and I entered the Tai Hospital to learn medical skills. ”
"For so many years, others have only seen our sister and brother in a prominent place, and they have ascended to the sky in one step. Who knows how sad and helpless we are! ”
"I know that you never envy any glory and wealth, and you don't want to be a concubine. You already had a crush back then, and you were just waiting for the other party to propose. Unexpectedly, because of his outstanding appearance, he was snatched away by the street. Since then, you've embarked on an involuntary path in life......"
Wei Jieyu trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"There's a secret that I've never told you. Actually, there is a reason why I haven't gotten married for so many years. ”
Wei Yan took a deep breath and told the secret hidden deep in his heart: "Empress Xu has always had ill intentions towards me. Back then, she wanted to give me the daughter of the Xu family to marry, but she was just tempting me. Because she likes me, she sees her as a thorn in her eye. Later, Queen Xu secretly poisoned Luzhu. Therefore, Luzhu died at a young age. ”
Wei Jieyu's face turned white, and she looked at Wei Yan in disbelief: "What did you say?" Empress Xu...... She actually had such a dirty mind? You and Princess Changping ※ (2) dǐng ※ (2) diǎn ※ (2) 小 ※ (2) said, .↑.o≧s_ (); is similar in age, and her age is not much younger than our own mother. How could she have such a thought! ”
No wonder Wei Yan has never been willing to marry over the years!
No wonder Queen Xu is particularly favored by Wei Yan!
I see!
Wei Yan has been holding back, in the final analysis, it is all for her. Otherwise, what man could have stood such humiliation.
Fortunately, Empress Xu has fallen and can no longer threaten Wei Yan. Otherwise, wouldn't Wei Yan really want to never marry for life?
The more Wei Jieyu thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and tears fell: "Ah Yan, such an important matter, why didn't you sue me earlier?" ”
Wei Yan's voice was low: "This kind of thing is difficult to talk about. Second, it doesn't do you any good to sue you. If you show your deeds in front of Queen Xu, I am afraid that Queen Xu will not tolerate you. Rather than that, it would be better to hide it from you. ”
"I have secretly vowed in my heart that I will do my best to protect you and Anya and not let you suffer half-grievances. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate to do it. ”
Wei Yan's voice was also a little choked: "I'm sorry, eldest sister, I'm going to break my promise." I have a girl I like in my heart, I can't let go of her, I can't watch her be wronged. ”
"I couldn't save you back then, but now, I'm going to try to save her with this life."
"I'm sorry ......"
For the first time since she was ten years old, Wei Yan cried in front of her.
Wei Jieyu's heart was like a knife, heartache and pity, but more helplessness and sorrow, tears quickly blurred her vision. The words "I'm sorry" kept lingering in my ears.
Wei Jieyu cried for a long time, as if she wanted to cry out all the pain over the years.
Wei Yan is a man in the end, and after his feelings got out of control, he quickly regained his calm and composure. He wiped his tears with his sleeve, and wiped the tears on Wei Jieyu's face with a handkerchief: "Eldest sister, you should blame me, you scold me and get angry!" ”
Wei Jieyu sobbed for a while before she settled down and said, "We are sisters and brothers, and we are also the closest people in the world. And what do you do with these outward words. ”
"Ah Yan, do whatever you want! I'm not going to stop you! If there's anything I need to do, just open your mouth. There is no queen in the palace, and now I am in charge of palace affairs, and I can meddle in all things in the palace. It's much easier than ever to do anything. ”
Wei Yan looked at Wei Jieyu gratefully and movingly: "Eldest sister, I told you this today, because I didn't want to hide it from you anymore." It's not like I'm going to drag you into this troubled water. ”
"You just don't know anything. If there is an incident in the future, you have not done anything, and the emperor is not the kind of person who does not miss the old love and is ruthless. At least you and Anya can save our lives......"
"Don't talk about it." Wei Jieyu resolutely interrupted Wei Yan: "If one day I want to do something rebellious, will you just watch and never stretch out your hand?" ”
Wei Yan was dumbfounded.
Wei Jieyu looked at Wei Yan steadily: "You tell me honestly, Empress Xu and her chamberlain Xu Chun were witnessed by the emperor himself, did you also contribute to it?" ”
There are some things that I can't figure out, and when I figure it out in one place, I can figure it out everywhere.
For example, Empress Xu has always acted carefully, how could she summon Xu Chun to serve in bed?
For example, the emperor has rarely set foot in the Jiaofang Palace in recent years. Occasionally, he will also let the chamberlain announce in advance. That night, why didn't you just go quietly?
The emperor didn't want to get to the bottom of this ugly matter, and preferred to press it down so vaguely.
Although Wei Jieyu felt suspicious everywhere in her heart, she would never mention these things in front of the emperor without interest. Today, when I heard Wei Yan tell this shocking secret, I suddenly had many associations.
Wei Yan didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence.
Wei Jieyu gasped: "Your courage is too big!" How dare you make such a bold move! Aren't you afraid that the matter will be revealed, not only did you not bring down Queen Xu, but put yourself in danger? ”
Wei Yan said calmly: "Of course I'm afraid!" But there are some things that you have to do even if you are afraid. Otherwise, you have to live in fear and trembling all the time. ”
What's the point of living like this?
Wei Jieyu was silent for a moment before sighing lightly: "What you said also makes sense. It's me who is too cowardly and timid. After a pause, he said: "However, the emperor and Empress Xu are completely different. If you want to save people in the hands of the emperor, you must think long-term, and you must not act rashly! You have to promise me that you can't take risks lightly. ”
Wei Yan solemnly agreed. (To be continued.) )
