Chapter 560: Confession
Fu Ruolan has always been afraid of being restrained by the deep palace again, and she doesn't want to repeat the misery of the previous life, so she doesn't want her husband to be the current saint.
Nan Yuchen didn't know these things, and she didn't understand why she was so resistant to the throne.
If he knew, maybe he would understand her.
But she can't say.
"Your Highness the Seventh, can you answer a question for me?" Fu Ruolan stopped suddenly.
Nan Yuchen stopped and nodded.
"If one day, His Royal Highness inherits the throne, can he reconcile with me?"
"What?" Nan Yuchen's heart tightened, his brows frowned, and he looked at Fu Ruolan's serious eyes, and it took a long time before he spoke: "No." β
"Then I will immediately enter the palace and ask the emperor to dismiss this family business." Fu Ruolan was very resolute.
Nan Yuchen was also a little angry, and his tone turned cold in vain: "Is it child's play that you should be a holy decree?" When you go to the emperor, you are putting the Fu family to death, have you thought about it clearly? β
"I, Fu Ruolan, have sworn in this life that I will not serve a husband with other women."
She knows that the key to avoiding tragedy is to cut off all possible conditions.
So in this life, she avoided Nanhuaqing and Jing Ying'er, but she couldn't guarantee that there was only one Jing Ying'er in this world.
Both of them did not speak, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was delicate.
After a while, it was Nan Yuchen who took the lead in speaking: "I have no intention of competing for the throne, even if the emperor is obsessed with me, I can give up, he can't tie me to the dragon chair, right?" β
"Your Highness really doesn't have any ambitions?" Fu Ruolanzai carefully observed Nan Yuchen, as if she wanted to find a flaw, and then saw nothing.
"Ruolan, you believe me, there is no more important thing in this world than you, even the throne is nothing more than broken copper and iron in front of you, I just want to stay with you for a long time."
Nan Yuchen finally explained to her soft-heartedly, and finally let Fu Ruolan feel at ease.
Just as the two were about to leave the palace, a palace maid came out of nowhere, who seemed to be someone from Wu Guifei's side.
"Slave and maid, see Your Highness the Seventh, the noble concubine Niangniang, please come over."
Nan Yuchen waved his hand to show that he understood, turned to Fu Ruolan and said, "It seems that I can't send you back today." β
"Don't bother Your Highness, I can go back by myself." Fu Ruolan expressed her understanding, and she could probably guess Wu Guifei's intention of calling Nan Yuchen over at this time.
Nan Yuchen was still more worried, and let the carriage of the Seven Kings Mansion send Fu Ruolan back to the house.
Ligong.
Wu Guifei stood at the gate of the palace and paced anxiously, with words in her mouth.
The emperor summoned several emperors into the palace early in the morning, and the significance of this is self-evident, and the harem soon received news, and the major forces began to move.
Her personal palace maid Cui'er couldn't help but step forward to comfort: "Don't be anxious, Your Highness will be here in a while." β
Wu Guifei glared at Cui'er angrily: "This palace is naturally not anxious because of this matter!" What do you know as a minion? β
Cui'er was afraid of being punished by Wu Guifei, so she was so frightened that she immediately knelt in front of her and begged for mercy: "The slave knows her mistake, please forgive her sins!" β
Wu Guifei wanted to get angry, but was interrupted by a voice.
"Mother!"
Nan Yuchen walked over from not far away, and when Wu Guifei saw him, her face immediately changed to a smiling expression.
The mother and son walked into the palace hand in hand, and the topic of greeting naturally turned to entering the palace today.
"Chen'er, today your father summoned you and a few royal brothers into the palace for the prince's business?" Wu Guifei asked.
Nan Yuchen didn't hide it, and told Wu Guifei all the emperor's words, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise after hearing it.
"That's a good thing! You have been talented and intelligent since childhood, and the emperor has always favored you, and the conditions for establishing the crown prince this time are also of great benefit to you, son, don't let me down. β
Wu Guifei is very happy, if Nan Yuchen becomes the heir to the throne, she will be the queen mother in the future!
However, Nan Yuchen's words in the next moment made Wu Guifei stunned in place.
"Queen Mother, I have decided to give up the fight for the throne."
"What?" Wu Guifei's eyes widened, her eyes full of disbelief: "You say it again?" β
"I think the Queen Mother already understands what I mean."
When Wu Guifei realized that Nan Yuchen was not joking, she was furious: "Rebel! Do you know what you're talking about? β
Nan Yuchen did not change his attitude because of Wu Guifei's anger, and insisted: "Erchen knows what he is saying and doing, and Erchen has made up his mind. β
"Nonsense! What are you doing here? You say give up, give up? Do you think you have a choice? β
"Mother!" Nan Yuchen knelt down in front of Concubine Wu with a plop, his eyes were sincere: "Isn't it possible that we can't live if we are not in the royal family?" Do you need these false names so much? β
"Shut up!"
"Smack-" There was a crisp sound, Wu Guifei froze in place, one hand raised high, Nan Yuchen's head was already turned to the side, and there were five red and swollen finger prints on his face.
"Chen'er!" Wu Guifei reacted, with apologies in her eyes: "This palace is too excited. β
It's not that Nan Yuchen didn't think about Wu Guifei's reaction, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
Can't you live this life if you don't become the emperor?
He didn't understand.
Wu Guifei seemed to see his doubts, returned to her previous dignified and noble appearance, stretched out her hand to sort out the few strands of hair falling from her forehead and said, "You have become more and more naΓ―ve recently. β
"Born in the royal family, you have no choice at all, do you think you can sit back and relax without grabbing the throne?"
"As a prince, you were born to rule the country. Do you think you can live your life in peace without fighting or grabbing? It's really a big laugh off people's big teeth! β
"When your brother becomes the emperor, he won't let you go, do you think you still have a way back then?"
"I entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and now I have been in this deep palace for twenty years, and this palace just wanted to be an inconspicuous nobleman at the beginning."
"Mother, you believe me, even if I don't want the throne, I won't let you live a life of fear." Nan Yuchen couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, he naturally understood how much Wu Guifei had suffered before she became a concubine.
When Nan Yuchen was a child, he witnessed how Wu Guifei climbed to her current status step by step, how many detours she took, and how many beatings she received, he knew it all clearly.
Therefore, Nan Yuchen vowed to have the ability in the future and not let his beloved woman suffer, so he secretly expanded his power and founded Qingfeng Pavilion.
"Mother, the sons are not filial, they just want to stay with Ruolan for the rest of their lives, and they would rather give up these imperial powers and wealth." Nan Yuchen still didn't change his words.
Wu Guifei sank her face, it turned out that all this was because of Fu Ruolan, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes, this woman must be a stumbling block on Chen'er's road!
