Chapter 038: The Price of Delay

Xun Yu has heard people mention the Restoration Division.

The Restoration of Sight takes the meaning of "righteousness and brightness, holding high the mirror", and is personally held by Emperor Murong Yao. The chief inspector of officials, relatives and extravagance, overstepping the system, etc., occasionally replaces the position of Dali Temple to deal with certain cases. They are the eyes and minions of the Son of Heaven in the open and in the dark, and many people are terrified when they hear it.

"Soon after my father's death, the country of Yelou heard the news and slaughtered five cities. The armies sent to retreat were all defeated, and over time a voice arose in the court: "Everything is my father's fault." ”

Yan Huo looked at Xun Yu with a gloomy gaze: "They said that if it weren't for his father, he would have killed them all, forcing Yelou Country to have no way out, and making it impossible for the two countries to negotiate peace, they would never have achieved such a point of losing their conscience." Soon after, Yelou sent envoys, as long as the court handed over the descendants of the Yan family, they would withdraw from the army, and swore to the gods with the blood of the royal family that they would never come to attack within three years. ”

Xun Yu seemed to think of something, and his voice was a little colder. "Those old immortals want to hand you over?"

"The army is overwhelmed, and the people are panicking. His Majesty was worried that the history books of later generations recorded that he betrayed the heirs of meritorious heroes, which would damage the name of the saint for all generations, and hesitated. At that time, only Prime Minister Li Lao tried his best to oppose it...... In order to protect our sister and brother, Concubine Wan exhausted all kinds of means, and finally achieved her goal. Since then, Concubine Wan Niangniang has been confined in the cold palace, although she has not been stripped of her position, her status is not as good as that of ordinary palace people. Yan Huo said: "This matter was told to me by Master Li, although I don't know what method Concubine Wan used, she finally delayed time for our sister and brother." ”

Xun Yu grasped the point, "Procrastination? ”

Yan Hui's head was bowed.

Concubine Wan's sacrifice only dragged on for less than two years. Later, their sister and brother were victimized by "Xun Yu", and his appearance was ruined. His sister cried for him all night, and then cut the green silk herself...... Although Murong Pei is weak, he is a prince anyway, if the plan goes well this time, he will be able to come out of the cold palace.

Xun Yu was quick and quickly understood his intentions. "Murong Pei is not a good candidate."

Yan Huo was silent, which was what worried him the most. Although Murong Pei made up his mind this time, he was soft-hearted, naΓ―ve and stupid for more than 20 years, how could he easily change the softness of his temperament unless he suffered major changes.

If you want to climb out of the quagmire, you can't do it unless you are decisive and make the right choices. When necessary, even the closest people can swing the butcher's knife...... Can he do it? Yan Hui asked in his heart more than once, and the answer he came up with has never changed.

"Since he can't change it, you can help him change it." Xun Yu stared at him fixedly, his clear eyes revealing a bone-chilling indifference, as if human life was on her, nothing more than ants. "Let his mother die."

Cold Palace.

The night is blue and dotted.

After Murong Pei waited for Concubine Wan to fall asleep, he said to the person standing in the shadows, "There is a poor girl to send you off." ”

The poor girl was dressed as a eunuch, and she was the woman who followed Yan Hui that day and looked very ordinary. She said coldly, "The slave is just doing what she is told. If the Nine Emperors have no other instructions, the slaves and maids will retire first. If His Highness has other instructions, please leave three stones in the broken clay pot in the east corner. In addition, please don't forget what you promised your master. ”

Murong Pei froze for a moment, and his gaze moved to the inner room, "...... Thank you, I won't forget. ”
