203. A little selfishness
"If Qiang Baitao is assassinated at this time, I am afraid that he will attract people's handles, and Qiang Baitao's martial arts are not weak, and it is not so easy to start. Huo Huan casually put the fold aside, "Delay him for the time being, let him continue to make trouble, and after a few days, he will ask for his own trouble." ”
Mu Qizhi couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw Huo Huan's indifferent appearance, how could it be so at this juncture, he sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to give Qiang Baitao an explanation first, if Huo Chen attacks, and Qiang Baitao refuses to lead troops to fight, what is it good for?" ”
"Xiang Han didn't kill Qiang Zhensheng, this matter is simply Qiang Baitao making trouble." Huo Huan frowned and said, he had given Xianghan to Qiang Zhensheng at the beginning, but he couldn't stand Xianghan, how could he sacrifice Xianghan now.
"Your Majesty, at the moment of national crisis, you can't manage too much, I hope the emperor will think twice."
Huo Huan stared at Mu Qizhi, a little displeased: "If Huo Chen said that he could withdraw from the army after handing over Qing'er, would the prime minister agree?" ”
Mu Qizhi was stunned, but he hesitated in his heart.
Seeing that Mu Qizhi hesitated and did not answer, Huo Huan smiled slightly: "That is, Xianghan is my own sister, I can't let her be wronged, wait a few days, I will release Xianghan, Xianghan has suffered in prison for a long time, and it can be regarded as giving Qiang Baitao an explanation." ”
"Your Majesty!" Mu Qizhi wanted to say more, but Huo Huan was already waving his hand and didn't want to listen to it anymore, Mu Qizhi saw this situation, so he had to retreat, but he was still unwilling, feeling that he had put Huo Huan on the throne, but today he didn't listen to his words.
Thinking of this, Mu Qizhi snorted coldly, and went to Zhengshou Palace to find Mu Yanrong to discuss important matters.
In Fengren Palace, Mu Wanqing was preparing her clothes, and since she made her decision that day, her whole body and mind were relaxed.
But just gone, I don't know what will happen to Mu Qizhi, but the most important thing is what will happen to Yin Yuan in the future.
Yin Yuan has become Huo Huan's concubine, if Huo Chen enters the capital and becomes the new emperor, then according to the rules, Yin Yuan will go to the Yuan Palace to live this life alone.
Mu Wanqing finally couldn't bear it, Yin Yuan is such a good woman, she shouldn't have such a life.
She took her clothes and was slightly distracted, and only when the palace maid was spreading it outside, did she come back to her senses, stuffed her clothes into the futon indiscriminately, and then put down the curtain before she spoke: "Hurry up and invite Xinmei in." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yin Yuan walked in, and she saw that Mu Wanqing's complexion had improved a lot, so she happily owed: "It seems that the queen mother has been in a good mood recently." ”
"It's fine." Mu Wanqing asked Yin Yuan to sit down, and also asked the palace maid to retreat.
Yin Yuan was a little puzzled, glanced at Mu Wanqing, and found that Mu Wanqing's expression was solemn.
"Is there something going on?" Yin Yuan has lived in the palace for many years, and he will also observe words and feelings.
Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth, but still decided: "Yin Yuan, listen carefully, Huo Huan and I will leave the capital soon, do you want to go with us?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yin Yuan just widened his eyes and couldn't speak for a long time.
"It's all up to your personal wishes, I won't force you, but I don't want to leave you alone in the palace and let you suffer." Mu Wanqing expected Yin Yuan's reaction like this, but Yin Yuan had helped her before, and she would not leave Yin Yuan alone.
Yin Yuan's whole body trembled, but she didn't expect Mu Wanqing to call herself, she actually said this, she was undecided, and asked, "Is it because Huo Chen is about to attack the capital?" So you want to escape? ”
"You're half right, Huo Huan and I don't want to go to war, as long as Huo Huan abdicates, then the war can be avoided." Mu Wanqing didn't want to explain so much, but when she saw Yin Yuan's moist eyes, she still couldn't bear it.
"But the emperor wasted so much thought to ascend to the throne, and now he gives up, isn't it a pity?" Yin Yuan's heart was full of Huo Huan, she didn't want Huo Huan to regret it, "I must ask to understand, will the emperor regret doing this." ”
Mu Wanqing grabbed Yin Yuan and didn't let her be impulsive: "Yin Yuan, Huo Huan has already thought it through, you are his woman, so I will ask you, if you startle the snake, then we won't be able to leave." ”
Yin Yuan calmed himself down, thinking that after he was sealed, Huo Huan had always been lukewarm to himself, and now that he was leaving, it was also told by Mu Wanqing, thinking of this, Yin Yuan's heart was even more sad.
"Are you selfish? Don't you have a little bit of selfishness? If the emperor abdicates, then it must be Huo Chen's accession to the throne, don't you have any selfishness at all? Yin Yuan asked in a trembling voice.
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a long time before she replied: "I do have selfish intentions, but I understand that Huo Huan wants a peaceful and comfortable life, not the same as now." ”
Because he couldn't help but sneer: "Don't you think it's too late for you to make this decision today?" ”
Mu Wanqing was stunned, and lowered her head again, also speechless,
"At the beginning, the emperor was infatuated with you, if you went away with the emperor that day, I would think you were a good woman, but you just deceived the emperor because of Huo Chen, and now you want Huo Chen to ascend the throne and leave with the emperor, I think you are like this...... It's really not worth my kindness to you anymore. Yin Yuan said, tears had fallen, in her heart, everything Huo Huan did was right.
Mu Wanqing couldn't imagine that Yin Yuan already had a prejudice against herself, and she was also angry in her heart, so she said: "You love Huo Huan, I can understand if you speak for him, but someone has ever asked me what I want, the reason why I am doing this today is not for Huo Chen, but now that the war is about to break out, do you really want to see a war?" Don't say whether this battle is won or lost, if Huo Huan loses, do you think Huo Huan will still be able to live? In my opinion, this is the best option. ”
She turned away, her chest rose and fell, and no one knew how sad she was: "Even if Huo Huan once persecuted me, how could I not understand his affection for me, and it is precisely because of this that I don't want him to die, and I don't want the people of the capital to suffer." ”
Yin Yuan pursed her lips, her body couldn't help trembling slightly, she saw Mu Wanqing turn away, and her heart was even more sad.
"I don't understand these big truths, I just want to let the emperor live happily." A smile appeared at the corner of Yin Yuan's mouth, gentle and satisfied.
"Yin Yuan, at this time, it is no longer the time to be willful, and we can't let the struggle of the royal family harm the people." Mu Wanqing said slowly, she also had no choice, if she could, she didn't want to stay, to forget the love in her heart, how painful it was. ~
