"Don't you even want the best for you?" There was a sigh in her voice, since Qi Zhi was sensible, he had never seen E-Niang have such a look now, he had always been strong, but now he has become so fragile, the memories of the past have come up, and his heart has softened a little.

"E-niang, why do you say that? How could I not want you. You and Ye'er are the two most important women in my life, how could I not want to? ”

"What if you could only choose one between me and that Wu Ye'er? If you want me, you can't want her. If you want her, you don't want me. I see that you have been harmed by that demon girl a lot, even your lofty ambitions that have been planning for so many years will be delayed for her again and again, and you will be willing to die in her gentle country if you continue like this. ”

Qi Zhi showed a bitter smile, it turned out that Eniang knew everything, but he still couldn't hide it from her. Since E-Niang learned of his plan, she has been paying close attention to this matter, and she has also used her own strength to be his eyes and ears in the palace. Later, I met Li Bing brought by him, if she asked anything, Li Bing would definitely tell the truth, of course she would know, but he didn't tell anyone about his current decision, he thought he could hide it from her, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

"Yes, I don't want to seek that throne anymore, but I have cultivated a lot of power, and after a while, I will get Eniang out, and then take Ye'er away and fly away, and the family can live happily."

"To make it clear, you just gave up your good future for the sake of that Wu Ye'er." Eniang's voice was full of hatred.

Sure enough, she is her child, she is her adopted child, and she knows herself best. I can't lie to her, and I can't fool her, I can only tell the truth, so there is no confidence in his voice at all: "Yes, I just gave up for Ye'er." I figured it out, that position is not so good, even if we don't want it, we can still live well. ”

"You've changed, you've just been fascinated by that enchantress. What did you say before? From the day you were born, you are not living alone, you carry all my hopes, you are also doing very well, since you were a child, you are much better than the prince of the same age, so I can also give up everything for you. I beg you to think more about what happened to Eniang, don't you know how I'm doing? And don't you know how you grew up? What are we suffering so much for, not to get ahead. We've been working hard for so long, and the opportunity is in front of you, you just have to reach for it, and you actually told me that you were going to give up? Li Bing has already told me that General Li will fully support you, and the request is that you marry her as the queen, and now you are going to give up this opportunity to be a couple with her for the sake of that Wu Ye'er's children? Xiao Qi, ask yourself, is this worth it? Or does that Wu Ye'er really understand you? If she understands you, she should support you unconditionally! ”

"Yes, I want to be the emperor, and when I become the emperor, I can rectify this corrupt system, give more children of the poor family some opportunities, and also make the Wu Kingdom strong. However, after I met Wu Ye'er, I changed this mind, in fact, happiness can be very simple, and ambition can be small. Qi Zhi looked at the woman who was heartbroken for him and said, "Eniang, I really owe you a lot in my life, and I don't want to live up to your expectations." But in order not to lose Ye'er, I don't want to ask for that position anymore, I know her, if I marry Li Bing, she will definitely leave me. Eniang, I will buy a field servant for you in the countryside, and you can also enjoy the blessings, let's give up. ”

Lu Hui's hand stroked her kneeling son for a while, and her voice was low as if she was crying: "Xiao Qi, you told me to enjoy Qingfu, I have never enjoyed happiness in my life, and I don't know how to enjoy happiness anymore." I only know that poor people mourn everything, and only the life of being exploited by others. In the past, when I didn't enter the palace, I lived with my brother, and although my father and mother died early, my brother and I could barely get by. The peasants do not have their own land, and we have to rent the landlord's land, but you also know that the landlord's things are so easy to rent. My brother was very energetic and diligent in his work, and he also got a good harvest on a piece of third-class land. At that time, in addition to having a lot of room after paying the rent, my brother also wanted to live a better life, so he was more diligent. Later, I didn't know how the landlord found out, so he raised our rent, and my brother went to theorize, and was beaten by the landlord's subordinates. Life is getting worse day by day, and no one will care about your life or death, and if you don't rent land, there will be others to rent. But you can't not rent his land, what can you do if you don't rent it, you will only be starved to death, one day he will be eaten by wild dogs, and the next day he will live as he should live, and he will not be retributed. My brother has also reached the age of marrying a wife, and he and I are both worried that no girl in our family will suffer in such conditions. Fortunately, someone came to the draft girl later, and there were five taels of silver selected, God finally favored us once, I successfully became a show girl, and I also left the money to my brother, and our old Lu family will not be extinct. Entering the palace is to break off with the previous life, how good is the palace Here the lady casually rewards more than five taels of silver, and it costs ten taels of silver to raise a flower, but I also realized that in their eyes, the lives of the poor are cheaper than grass. I have a humble status, but I don't fight or rob, and I can survive in the palace. I thought I would be like a captive pet, worry-free about food and clothing for the rest of my life, but at a time when the emperor touched me, and then I became pregnant with you. How big is the harem, today's pillow people, the next day they forgot all about it, that's it, once in my life, I will be content with the rights of women. The difficult thing is that I am pregnant with you, and when I was three months old, I showed my body, and everyone knew that I was pregnant, and those who wanted to harm me also knew. At that time, I didn't know who had poisoned me, and the blood was seeping out through my legs. The doctor told me that you may be gone, let me beat you, but I am unwilling, even if I die, I will give birth to you, the big deal is that I will bury you for you, at that time I was thinking, if I died, I would not let them go, and I couldn't run away. Fortunately, I succeeded in giving birth to you, but I was also accused of a trumped-up crime. My whole life has been involuntarily, Xiao Qi, I don't know any reason, and I haven't read the sage book. E-Niang just wants to tell you that people with low status have no future, if someone higher than you wants Wu Ye'er, you can only send her to someone else's arms with a smile, otherwise you will suffer a catastrophe, you know? That's why I want you to be the most honorable person in the world. ”

Qi Zhi was convinced of every word that Eniang said, not to mention that he couldn't forget the pain and confusion he experienced when he was a child. It was precisely because he had seen hell with his own eyes that he cherished Wu Ye'er's kindness to him even more, and he was even more reluctant to let the people around him feel unfortunate, he grabbed Lu Hui's hand and trembled slightly, he made his belief not so easy to shake: "I know, I know." But Eniang, I won't let you feel powerless anymore, you believe me, I will become very strong, even anyone can't control our strength, we will be very happy together, and you will slowly get used to enjoying happiness. ”

Lu Hui stared at Qi Zhi deadly, and the belief in his eyes never wavered, Qi Zhi had seen this kind of look, every time Eniang defended him, when he worked hard for him, it was like this: "No, I won't be happy." I can't rest assured of you, you have become now that I don't know you, you used to work so hard, and your goals were so firm, which made me so proud and proud. But now you are ready to give up the opportunity to change your life for the sake of a selfish woman, and you have to hide it from me. E-Niang has no ability, and she doesn't have a strong maternal clan to help you, so she made you suffer so much. But you have met a good girl, Li Bing, she likes you, can give everything for you, and she can really change your fate. Li Bing can rebel for you, and that Wu Ye'er let all her Wu clan withdraw as soon as she heard the news, such an obvious contrast, you should also know who to choose. Are you still obsessed with it now? You're just being deceived by that woman, and you're still thinking about marrying her, and you're still in the mood to think about it, depending on what you're drawing. Are you going to me off? Don't give you gold, do you want to pick up your broken copper and iron? You became an emperor, what woman didn't? You can also lock her up with you and keep others from getting involved, why can't you figure it out? ”

Qi Zhi still recognized the reason for death: "Eniang, Ye'er is very good to me, and she didn't fail me, I can't do anything to be sorry for her." ”

Lu Hui looked at the tattered cold palace around her, and shook her head disapprovingly: "I don't understand your so-called love and love, I only know what I have experienced, and I am not allowed to believe in these ethereal things." Love? It's just that you fell in love with that skin, and when you get old and decrepit, there will be younger and more beautiful people to replace you, maybe if she changes to an ugly skin, will you still hold her and say that you love her? I'm not trying to stop you from loving others, I don't hate that Wu Ye'er, everyone has their own way of living, her birth environment is like that, we can't force her to do anything. I'm very selfish, I just hope you live well, when you become the emperor, I won't interfere with whoever you love, at that time you can focus on your love and love, and you have qualifications. Men like beautiful women, I know, you can get carried away by love at your age, and I know too. But you also know that the current Wu Ye'er will not benefit you at all, and it will drag you down. She can't even endure a little hardship, how can you believe that she will help you in times of trouble. But Li Bing is different, she is a person who has endured hardships, and with her help, you can sit back and relax, so that you have no worries at all, and the throne can be easily obtained. A woman like a vase, it's not something you can have now, you have to have that qualification. And when you become emperor, you will meet more beautiful women than her, they will love you, they will flatter you. Xiao Qi, listen to Eniang, when you become the emperor, everything has not changed, and you can still have her. But you miss this opportunity, and you really don't have it in the future. ”

Qi Zhi's eyes closed, and he said in a low tone: "Eniang, I don't want to do this, I really don't want to, why do you have to betray Ye'er, is the throne really so good?" ”

Lu Hui smiled miserably, and was silent: "Do you think all this I did was for my own enjoyment?" My body has long been riddled with holes, and even if I can wait for you to succeed, how long will I live? You are a smart child when you are young, and when other children are still saying childish things, you have already recognized the reality, so you should understand whether what I said makes sense, or you just don't want to be a wicked person, then I will do it, I will drive her away, and I will do it for you if it is inconvenient for you to do. When you work hard when you pay, E-Niang looks at it, you may think it's nothing, but E-Niang is distressed. I don't want to watch you work hard for so many days and nights in exchange for a bad result. Haven't you hesitated? You don't think it's necessary now, but when the day comes, it's irretrievable, and you'll lose not only what you gain, but even more. Therefore, I want you to put love behind for a while, and think about it with reason, what kind of absolute should be made that is good for everyone. ”

After saying this, E-Niang left, and her thin body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind. Her back is no longer as vigorous as she remembers, Qi Zhi still remembers that Eniang was also a beautiful and healthy woman when she was young, and until now she can't find a trace of youth. Time wears everything, youth becomes old, but what about love? Wu Ye'er is immortal, and she will get older day by day, and when she gets old, will love gradually lose its taste like youth? At that time, will he still be able to keep her?

He was silently immersed in the darkness alone, and began to find his original intention, and now no one affected him, and what he did was absolutely out of his heart. His memory was divided into fragments and tattered, looking at the smiling Wu Ye'er in his memory, his eyes became calm and wise, he finally regarded himself in his memory as an outsider, and began to treat this other person's matter calmly, the answer was clear early on, he always knew it.

"Ye'er, you'll forgive me......"

It's been a while since everyone left the Academy, and although they miss each other occasionally, it's not as uncomfortable as before. Wu Ye'er also wrote to the five sisters one after another, asking them about their recent situation.

All in all, Rosie was the first of the sisters to make her wish come true. After visiting the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of History with Wu Ye'er last time, I received the news of the new official in less than two days, and there were many reasons why Wu Ye'er went through the back door. In this way, she can go to poor places and lead them to a good life. He Jing weighed Rosie's interests with the eyes of a businessman and found that it was not worth it at all. Rosie's grades and thoughts are good, being a big official should be her way out, why destroy her future and run to the kind of place where birds don't. There is no real benefit, and the reputation is not much better. However, many years later, Rosie was still beyond He Jing's imagination, and at that time, Rosie was about to become a saint-like figure, with a great reputation and disciples all over the country.

Sister Zheng Li doesn't like to be an official, she travels more between mountains and rivers, in her words, only like Li Bai is not in vain.

Tan Xiang fell in love with Tang Jun wholeheartedly, she said that she didn't know when she would be dragged to get married, so she had to work hard to induce Tang Jun to take her away from the witch country.

However, Liu Jing has been working hard to become a figure like Lord Lu Zhen, once Wu Ye'er saw her wearing plain clothes to help people in need, obviously according to her current official position, there is no need to do such a trivial matter. Wu Ye'er didn't think it was right to do this, so she said to Liu Jing: "Don't you want to be a person like Lu Zhen, you should do some big things, and leave this kind of small things to your subordinates." At that time, Liu Jing was still single, and the person who had been sending her love tokens had never appeared before, but Wu Yeer felt that person should be the baby kiss that Liu Jing had set since childhood. But it's a pity that Liu Jing doesn't want to be bound by feelings, and has forced the family to return the doll with death. Wu Ye'er shook her head, she was too ruthless to herself like an exterminator. Liu Jing's has never regretted it, and her eyes are far away: "If I get married, there will only be one more small family in this world, but as long as I protect everyone, all the small families will be safe, and I just made a decision that is good for everyone." ”

Before Wu Ye'er wrote the letter, what she was most curious about was He Yan's plan, He Jing's concept and mind were so good, and inheriting the already huge He family's property was just icing on the cake, and it could not reflect her talent. However, He Yan said that she didn't care about this kind of thing, and her goal now was to explore all the countries and then spread her business to all the areas. She told Wu Ye'er that she was already building the biggest and best ship in the whole Wu country, she firmly believed that there must be a country on the other side of the sea, she wanted to explore the whole world and experience the novelty of the unknown, and her business could not be limited to the Wu country, she wanted to spread her family all over the world, and create a business country, only a business country with interests.

He Yan said that only when all countries abandon mutual suspicion and let all things that can be circulated circulate can the common people's lives become rich, and only by starting from the most basic life can we lay a good foundation.
