Chapter 184: Leaving the Palace Again
These days, the courtiers all knelt in the palace and begged the Son of Heaven to immediately execute Lan Cainu, and the people also criticized the behavior of the Son of Heaven for harboring and conniving at the murderer of the monarch. When the son of heaven pampered the murderer of his father, he felt incredible just by hearing it, but the easy act did not fulfill people's wishes, no matter how turbulent the criticism from the outside world was, he also swore to defend Zhilan's life and safety.
"Your Majesty, everyone is golden, and my subordinates think it's still ...... It's better to send Lan Cainu out of the palace first, and then replace the corpse of a person casually, and you will be considered to have executed Lan Cainu. ”
Yan Qi did not regret the decision he made at the beginning, after bringing Lan Cainu back, the physical condition of the Son of Heaven was indeed much better than in the past, but now Yan Qi does have to be responsible for his original actions, after all, the matter of Lan Cainu is related to the stability of the throne of the Son of Heaven, once it is detected, it is better not to try to go against public opinion.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhixing did not intend to accept Yan Qi's mind, for him, it was impossible to take off Lan Cainu's head, and similarly, if he wanted to separate from Zhi Lan, Yi Zhixing would never be willing.
"Impossible! I don't want to! I finally wanted Lan'er to come, but now I want to get rid of her for these ridiculous reasons? How will I be able to meet Lan'er in the future? If this group of people come back to threaten me with public opinion, how will I deal with myself in the future! ”
Today, Zhilan also participated in this conversation, but she did not agree to Yi Zhixing's partiality proposal, but preferred what Yan Qi said.
"I think it's better to be Yan Qi's proposal, now that people's hearts are unstable, it's not beneficial to you at all, I'd better leave the palace first, at least you don't have to worry about public opinion in the future."
"Where do you want to go? Isn't it self-defeating for you to return to Xundi now? Do you think the monarch of Mu Guoguo may have let you go? If you leave my shelter, your safety will be compromised. Besides...... Besides! I don't want you to leave! You said you would always be by my side! ”
Yi Zhixing's emotions were quite excited, obviously, he didn't want his beloved woman to leave his side because of the noise from the outside world, wasn't it the arrival of Zhilan that he was longing for day and night? However, a few days after the arrival, such a thing happened, and no one could accept it.
"Lan'er, my Yin Palace is your home, I won't kill you, I won't drive you away, I can resist public opinion for you, you don't need to care about this, you just need to stay by my side, I will never let you be wronged!" If you wish, I can make you queen now! They dare to talk badly about the girl in private, but they never dare to talk about the queen in private! Those who disobey will be punished! ”
At the end of these words, Zhi Lan's expression changed extremely complicated, she never expected that Yi Zhixing would be so firm in her heart, and she never expected that Yi Zhixing would one day make herself the queen. However, not everyone can be the queen, especially the one who killed the first emperor, how can she be the queen of the Yin Dynasty?
"Nonsense! I killed your father! The former son of heaven in the Yin Dynasty! If you push me to the top, I am afraid that your country will be toppled by public opinion! Yi Zhixing, don't talk nonsense anymore, it is impossible for me to become the queen of the Yin Dynasty, not to mention that nothing has happened to the two of us now, you will push me to the back of a murderer at will, you are clearly cutting yourself off! ”
Emotion and indignation were mixed in Zhi Lan's heart, perhaps it was because she couldn't easily give a promise to the heart of the person in front of her, so Zhi Lan seemed so excited now, Yi Zhixing was too heavy on her, so that Zhi Lan couldn't afford it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope you will think twice, not to mention the identity of Lan Cainu for the time being, just by virtue of her killing the king, it is impossible for the Yin Dynasty and the opposition to have a place for her! Even if you are the Son of Heaven and now hold the power of the military, if the courtiers protest together, your position as the Son of Heaven will eventually be unsecured. The sins committed by Lan Cainu cannot be washed away at all, no matter whether the previous emperor was good or bad, the Yin people cannot accept a Xunren queen who killed the king. No emperor's favorite concubine has ever been so spoiled in the past, Your Majesty, you must not joke about your future. ”
Yan Qi on the side was also anxious, and dissuaded the person in front of him seriously, Yi Zhixing was disturbed by the joint offensive of the two of them, but subconsciously he still hoped to let Zhi Lan reach the top of the post, except for her, Yi Zhixing could no longer find a second suitable candidate, at least in his heart.
"So what do you say? Could it be that there is only one way to get rid of Lan'er now? Then you shouldn't have brought her back in the first place, and provoked my apprenticeship's affection! And you, Lan'er, you shouldn't have made a promise to me to be by my side for the rest of your life, I almost believed it, but I didn't think that you would leave me in a hurry in a few days, if I were Suijing, would you leave me at will because of some current problems? ”
The Son of Heaven mentioned Sui Jing again, but Zhi Lan was very dissatisfied with this, one of the purposes of her coming here was actually just to forget Sui Jing, but Yi Zhixing always regarded it as an imaginary enemy, and now Zhi Lan was already angry, so she was naturally more resentful. The most important thing is that she doesn't want to be a burden to others from the bottom of her heart.
"That's right! But you're not Suijing, so I'm just in a hurry to leave you, right? ”
This remark, Yi Zhixing was even more aggrieved, everything he was doing now was because he cared about Zhilan's emotions and safety, but Zhilan was ruthless and didn't take his feelings into his heart, at least from Yi Zhixing's eyes, Zhilan didn't have any friendship with him at all.
After that, the Son of Heaven was silent, but the two people on his side could see that Yi Zhixing at this time must be holding back his stomach of grievances and grievances, and because of his dignity, he couldn't cry here, right? Although Zhi Lan could fully see what the silence of the Son of Heaven represented at this time, she never comforted it, because in such a dangerous situation, she was bound to leave Yi Zhixing, even if she broke the promise made some time ago.
This time, Zhilan walked quietly, and she didn't even say hello to the Son of Heaven, and the only one who sent her away was Yan Qi.
"Lan Cainu, I hope you can forgive Zaixia, Zai Xia did not have the intention to drive you away, but this time is different from the past, I have to let you leave the palace for the time being, I only hope you can understand the helplessness of Zaixia."
Today's Yan Qi is also different from the past, for Zhi Lan, he no longer adopts an attitude of rejection, but is more concerned than the surface of Yi Zhixing, when Yi Zhixing is angry, he has the responsibility to help his master take care of Zhi Lan.
In the same way, Zhi Lan no longer raised eyebrows at Yan Qi, at least at the current juncture, she and Yan Qi had the same thoughts, and they didn't want Yi Zhixing to be in trouble over this.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter to me whether I stay or not, anyway, I'm also a drifter, and I'm used to the days of running around."
Even so, Zhi Lan's eyes are still full of sorrow at this time, once she leaves the shelter and warmth of Yi Zhixing, she feels confused about the current day again, where can she go in the future, Zhi Lan doesn't know, even where can she go now, Zhi Lan has no direction, in short, Xun Di can't go back, and the wandering Zhi Lan seems to never be able to integrate into stability.
"Lan Cainu, you don't need to be shaky, the house has been set up for you in the middle of the city, in the Qingwu Building in the middle of the city, most of the people there are people who have been arranged in advance, you don't need to hide your identity in front of them, the most important thing is that you can live in peace there, and the people on the side can protect your safety, so that you don't have to wander around, Your Majesty can see you anytime and anywhere, that place is not far from the palace. I don't know what you think? ”
When the words fell, a tremor suddenly passed through the woman's eyes, and then she was moved and grateful.
"Yan Qi, thank you for your consideration, but I still don't want to trouble the two of you anymore, it will be bad for the Son of Heaven for me to stay in Yin Country now, I think it's better for me to leave quickly."
"Lan Cainu, you don't have to think too much, these are all things that should be done in the next, let you run in vain this time will make you feel ashamed, if you can accept the kindness of the next, not only is it an affirmation of everything you have done in the next, but it is also not a good thing for you and the Son of Heaven. If you want to start a new life again, how can you be sure that there will be no more danger here or there in the future? Instead of looking for a new place to live, it is better to stay in the Yin Kingdom, at least when you are in danger, the people around you can help you, and Your Majesty can feel at ease. What's more, you used to live in Jiaoyikan for a long time, but now you live in Yanliudi for the time being, at least you won't be at a loss, you have shamisen and sharp tools at your disposal in your house, and you can still make a living as an artist, so you don't rely entirely on us. ”
Yan Qi endlessly comforted that Zhi Lan was indeed moved by the days he described, mainly because Zhi Lan had nowhere to go now, her long-standing heart had long been tired of running around, Yan Qi could choose a place for her to live, of course she couldn't bear to refuse.
"Lan Cainu, you agreed, I believe Your Majesty will be able to be relieved a little after knowing about it."
After thinking for a moment, Zhi Lan finally bowed her head, now she was afraid that she would never expect that she would completely live here in the future because of today's helpless actions, and become more and more prosperous in this Yin country capital, right?
"Okay, I promise you."
The woman eventually stepped into the familiar land of smoke willows, but it is undeniable that Zhilan will find her purpose and meaning in life, and from then on, she will no longer have to rely on others.
Today will be a turning point in Zhilan's life.
On the side, after learning about this, Yi Zhixing was relieved, even if Zhi Lan was not waiting by his side, he was still living on the territory within his reach, and he was indeed very satisfied with Yan Qi's performance. However, his face has always maintained a stern and cold posture, as if he doesn't care at all, and the words in his mouth are even more meaningless.
"Oh? Is it? Then it's up to you, she doesn't care where she likes, and I don't want to care. ”
As he spoke, Yi Zhixing sipped his tea, and his leisurely posture was filled with his contemplation, and he hated to go to Qingwulou immediately to see the situation.
"That'...... In this case, I will not inform Your Majesty of the situation of Lan Cainu in the future......"
Yan Qi deliberately joked, and Yi Zhixing became excited.
"You dare!"
As soon as the words fell, Yi Zhixing had already realized his gaffe, and accidentally exposed his true emotions, and he quickly changed the wording: "Whatever you want!" What does it have to do with me! You'd better not tell me about that woman in the future! I don't want to hear it! ”
"Yes."
Yan Qi's 'yes' made Yi Zhixing get emotional again, but he couldn't reprimand him directly because of his face, so he could only hold his emotions in his heart, and in the end he was still angry.
