Chapter 80: Disappointment
Calm was closing his eyes in the side hall to recuperate, and Sima Nan walked in quietly.
Calmly feeling the pressure around him, he opened his eyes and looked at him.
"You have always been a god-like existence in my heart, can you really not save him?" Sima Nan sat down in a chair, sighed heavily, and looked sad.
Shake your head calmly.
"Have you heard about the rebels out there?" Sima Nan asked her again.
Calm still shook his head.
Although she was not thrown into prison, she was locked up in this side hall, and she was not free at all, where would she know what was happening outside.
"It's not strange to say, sometimes, I especially hope that this person will die soon, but now that he is really going to die, I am starting to feel sad and panic, if he is really dead, what should I do?"
Sima Nan continued.
"You already have the answer in your heart, so why bother pretending in front of me." Calm and cold.
Sima Nan fell silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke again: "You know that I don't like to stand on a high place, I come from a humble background, although I am now in a rich country, but what I miss the most is the time spent in the countryside." β
"Now is not the time for you to talk nonsense, the emperor has no heir, if you don't do it as soon as possible, I am afraid of great changes." Calm couldn't help but say.
"But the more times like this happen, the more I want to talk nonsense to you. I don't talk nonsense much on weekdays, there used to be Jiang Ming, and I could still say a few words, after Jiang Ming left, I thought you could say a few words, but you had a lot of ups and downs with me, and I really didn't even have a person who could talk. Sima Nan said in a low voice.
Calmly lowered his head, feeling a little pain in his heart: "You are so smart, how can you not know why." β
"I did think about it, but I can't be sure, I can't believe that such a traitor as me will get such deep love from you." Sima Nandao.
Calmly swallowed.
Suddenly, I understood Sima Nan's feelings.
Two very smart people are really not suitable to be together, because anything, as long as you guess correctly, will feel dull, and all your efforts to pretend will be in vain.
She thought she was pretending to be cold to him, and he would give up, thinking that he didn't like him.
But in fact, he really thought that it was for his sake to be calm, so he deliberately did this.
"What do you think of this person? Is the personality talent more than the emperor? Sima Nan suddenly changed the topic again.
This makes Calm a little sad.
She had expected him to follow the topic and give her a chance to tell the truth and resolve the misunderstanding between them.
After all, Emperor Xiao's life and death are only on the line now, and it is too late to take care of himself, so he should not have the energy to use her to deal with Sima Nan.
She and him can be like before, even if they are speechless, at least make each other feel warm.
But Sima Nan didn't seem to mean that.
"He's a fool, how can you compare with the emperor, is your brain broken?" A cold light melted into his calm eyes, and he said coldly.
"The person who asked him to pretend to be a fool and escape the pursuit of the emperor's mother and son was me." Sima Nan said lightly.
Calm almost choked on his saliva and coughed loudly.
Sima Nan handed her his Mianpa: "Of course, the mother and son of the Nine Princes didn't know that the person who came up with the idea was me, they always thought it was Jiang Ming. β
Calmly picked up his handkerchief and blew his nose heavily, which was regarded as revenge on him.
She always thought that she was very smart and saw through the situation in this harem.
Who knows, in the end, she is still walking the maze, and the person she thought has been walking the maze with her turned out to be the most powerful opponent she will face after getting out of the maze.
It made her kind of accept incompetence.
"You're the leader of that organization?" Calmly asked angrily.
Sima Nan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "I don't know what organization is, I only know that because of your strategy, you let Concubine Guan go, and she was like a fish in water after leaving the palace, so there was this siege incident."
So I've been wondering if I've been too indulgent to you to make things get to where they are now. β
glanced at him calmly, a little sad in his heart.
She thought of the story of the Monkey King making trouble in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Great Sage who escaped death from the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, thinking that there was no more opponent for him in this world, but in the end he lost a bet with the Buddha.
The Great Sage did not turn out the palm of the Buddha's hand, and she was calm, as if she had never gotten rid of Sima Nan's control over her.
"It's a pity that you didn't please anyone, although you did a lot of things, but you still became a traitor and thief that everyone shouted at." Calm down.
Sima Nan nodded: "I know, I was not born as an emperor, I don't have the wisdom and decisiveness of Emperor Taizong, and I don't have a mother who is willing to turn the clouds and rain for me, so I am destined to achieve nothing, and I can only be mixed like this." β
"Why don't you leave and stay here and gossip, don't you have a lot to do now?" Calm didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Because she was faintly afraid, she was afraid that the decision he was going to make was not at all in line with what she had in mind.
Although she felt that he was not the perfect lover she imagined, she really couldn't imagine what she would do if she lost him in her later life.
Yes, she has a good impression of Zhang, and believes that Zhang knows herself better than him and understands herself.
But she has never felt disgusted with Zhang.
A person who is too perfect in her mind cannot be a lover.
Those who suspect the goods are real buyers, and those who praise the goods and think that the goods are flawless usually refuse to pay and only come to watch.
For Sima Nan, what he wants to do calmly is obviously not just onlookers.
He grabbed the bottle in her hand and looked for death without hesitation, she remembered.
She admits that she is greedy, and she wants Sima Nan's careless care, and she also wants Zhang to be wise and understand her inner confidant.
But Sima Nan's current behavior made her feel cold.
He guessed her intentions, but he refused to continue to say what she wanted, but he seemed to be afraid that she would pursue it, so he changed the subject.
Sima Nan was about to answer his words, when he saw a cadre of civil and military ministers push the door and walk in, and the first one didn't care about being calmly present, he angrily stretched out his hand and pointed at Sima Nan, and shouted:
"Sima Xiao'er, it's a matter of social safety, why did you make such a decision? Are you dizzy? β
Sima Nan slowly stood up, his face expressionless, and his voice was cold: "Yuzhong Cheng, what decision did General Ben make that made you so angry?" β
"If you have something to say, you will say it directly, you have monopolized power and controlled the government all these years, and everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak, if it weren't for the fact that you are still loyal and upright, and the decisions you made are correct, the old minister would have joined you with all the ministers!
Even if you can't get involved, at least you will end up as a loyal volunteer, which is better than being angry with you and other children! The more Yuzhong Cheng spoke, the louder he became, and he couldn't wait to come over and slap Sima Nan.
"Yuzhong Cheng, this decision was made by me, and it has nothing to do with the general, I said it twice, why don't you believe it?" Emperor Xiao walked into the hall and said loudly.
"Your Majestyβ" Yu Zhongcheng shouted, knelt on the ground, and all the ministers knelt down with him, shouting to the emperor.
Emperor Xiao swept over the heads of all the ministers and looked at Sima Nan, his expression was clearly telling Sima Nan that he did not expect such a consequence.
"What decision did the emperor make?" Sima Nan asked.
"I have decided not to pursue the traitor any further, and now that the General has quelled the rebellion and killed the leader who took the lead, this is the end of the matter." Filial piety.
"Your Majesty, don't do this!" Sima Nan said quickly.
"I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say more." Emperor Xiao said coldly and walked away.
"Your Majestyβ" Elder Yuzhong burst into tears, shouted, and lowered his head to hit the pillars in the hall.
Sima Nanfei walked over, grabbed his shirt, dragged him back, and said coldly: "Lord Zhongcheng think twice, the emperor is just confused for a while, I will go and explain the benefits and disadvantages to him, and let him take back what he just said." β
As he spoke, he also flew out of the palace and chased after Emperor Xiao.
All the ministers gathered around Yuzhong Cheng and booed.
"Traitors and thieves! This is for us to see, and the emperor must be controlled by him and at his mercy. β
"Lao Zhongcheng, you can't take the road of death, the court needs you to be presided over by prestigious old ministers, if there is no you, wouldn't you let that yellow-mouthed erector succeed? We don't even have a place to stand. β
"Old Zhongcheng! You have a close relationship with the Queen Mother, so let's find the Queen Mother to come forward and solve this matter. β
γγγγγγγγ
Listening to their words calmly, a slight mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
No matter how kind of good intentions a person has, if he is not good at explaining his behavior and will not whitewash his behavior, then it will definitely be Sima Nan's current fate.
Go your own way and let others say go.
It is not at all a realm that mortals can reach. If you keep going like this, what awaits you will be a dead end.
Calmly walked out of the temple gate.
Sima Nan and Emperor Xiao quarreled in the hexagonal pavilion not far away.
said that it was a quarrel, but in fact, it was just Sima Nan speaking alone.
Emperor Xiao's expression was calm, and he didn't want to listen to him at all.
Calmly walked over and heard Emperor Xiao say: "No matter what, this is the last few things I can do for you before I die, I have been targeting you all these years, but the pain in my heart, you will never understand."
You don't know how much I don't like to have you there, or not to have me. β
"It's not your fault, in fact, you don't have to torture yourself for this, if you know about it, tell me, you won't be so miserable all these years, and you will become a good emperor who works hard.
Then, when I meet calm, I can take her away and live the life I want to live. Sima Nan said in a hoarse voice.
"In short, it's all my fault, I really can't understand Master Liao's original intentions, since he knows everything, why do you want to let me be enthroned, wouldn't it be better for Zhang to be the emperor?" Emperor Xiao said bitterly.
"How old was Zhang then? If he had become emperor, would he have been able to control the complicated situation at that time? You have to believe in yourself, the master chose you, that is the reason why he chose you. Sima Nandao.
"Yes, I understand, because at that time, my maternal uncles held military power and were powerful, and your father didn't dare to offend them at all, and I even felt that your father and emperor didn't know that I was not his biological son, but just forced by the situation at the time, he had to make me the crown prince."
Emperor Xiao said with a sad face.
