Chapter 410: Private Conversation
"I didn't expect that Lord Wan would come here at this moment. Bai Xiyun wore a dark blue plain brocade robe and came to the front hall with a blank face.
"After all, it's coming. Wan Congyuan's sideburns turned white in less than two months, and when he saw Bai Xiyun, he no longer had the same joyful smile on his face, only barely hooked the corners of his lips and smiled.
As soon as Bai Xiyun saw Wan Congyuan's expression, his heart was filled with a burst of suffocated and complicated suppressed anger.
As long as you see this person, it is difficult not to think about this life of Concubine Wan.
In fact, she can simply be a happy woman, as long as Wan Jia did not send her to the palace because of Wan Guifei's beauty, if she married an ordinary family with Wan Guifei's beauty and mind, it seems that it is not difficult to live a plain and happy life. No matter how bad it is, it is better to participate in the life of the Dao Heavenly Family step by step. The outbreak of the change of children back then actually showed that before the emperor practiced Zuo, the life of the palace was actually very tense.
It's just that everyone has an unshirkable responsibility and an unavoidable fate.
Wan Guifei in his previous life did not die, and even his true life experience has always been in the dust. Because he was terminally ill at the time, it didn't matter if he was activated or not.
So he was tortured to death and no one came to his aid, and he knew that those people must be watching his struggle in a corner, but he didn't see it. He died, even his wife and children died, but Wan Guifei was always alive.
In this life, his body was healed by Qi Miao, not only as an official in the court, but also operated the Yintong number and mastered the economic power in his hands, and even Qi Miao's medical skills were outstanding and attracted much attention. The struggle of the husband and wife kept them alive. But Wan Guifei died.
It seems that no matter how things develop, their mother and son must not have the fate of reunion, no matter what, they will go to one of them.
Bai Xiyun lowered his eyes and waved his hand behind him. The maidservants bowed and withdrew, leaving the antechamber alone for the two of them.
The room was silent, and the cicadas in the distance could be heard clearly.
After a long time, Wan Congyuan said quietly: "The possible insiders of the day have now been killed by the rod, and I am afraid that there will be no strong evidence." ”
"And what about the evidence?" Bai Xiyun smiled bitterly, and looked at Wan Congyuan with burning eyes: "If there is evidence, will you come up with evidence to make a case with the emperor, or will you press down on this matter?" If you really have the heart to think about the concubine, you would not have done this kind of thing back then, without changing the child, there would be no hidden dangers later, when you made this decision back then, with your cleverness, didn't you have long expected that there might be an incident in the future? Could it be that you feel sorry for your daughter now, feel sorry for her, and want to take the entire family to bury her? ”
Bai Xiyun's words were too straightforward, and he didn't know what the euphemism was and poked directly in Wan Congyuan's heart.
In fact, whether there is evidence or not, they can be sure that the perpetrator must be the second prince. And if the second prince is pulled out, he must be able to talk about the change of children back then, so that not only will Concubine Wan's image in the emperor's heart collapse over the years, but the ten thousand families will also be pulled out for burial.
"I think you know that. If there is such a day, no one wants to see it. Even if Concubine Wan Guiquan had knowledge, she definitely didn't want the family she was protecting at the expense of everything to completely collapse. In that case, what has become of her perseverance in this life, hasn't it become a vain effort and a joke?" Bai Xiyun's eyes gradually softened, got up and walked to Wan Congyuan's side and sat down, looked at the much older old man, and said: "So, you don't have to blame yourself, although we are all responsible for the death of the concubine, we can't be impulsive, and we need to think about it step by step." ”
Wan Congyuan's heart was like carrying a warm stone, both warm and heavy.
He was an iron-clad man, but when he raised his head to look at Bai Xiyun at this time, he felt that his eyes were a little hot. This child is so good, he can still stay calm in times of crisis, this temperament is really like Wan Guifei, as well as his appearance, if you look closely, you can see the shadow of Wan Guifei when she was young.
His daughter is the meat of his heart, how can he not hate the pain of being stripped of his flesh?
However, the daughter is also a little lucky after all, because her child is so good.
Wan Congyuan's gaze was complicated, and he patted Bai Xiyun's shoulder with his big hand.
When Fang just entered the door, the tense atmosphere between the ancestors and grandchildren vaguely dissipated at this moment.
Wan Guifei is no longer there, if their ancestors and grandchildren still want to turn against each other for this, Wan Guifei underground will definitely be cold when she sees it.
Bai Xiyun comforted: "You also have to pay attention to your body. This time is the most critical moment, since Chen Tianyou dares to make a move, he has made up his mind to get rid of all the insiders one by one, and he is not in a hurry to deal with the Bai family, because the Bai family wants to be prosperous and rich, they will not divulge his secrets, and he will not feel threatened in the short term. And the next thing to make him feel threatened is you and me. ”
Wan Congyuan said: "This is the purpose of the old man's visit today. Ten thousand families are flourishing and have a huge root system, and he just wants to destroy us and he doesn't know where to start, does he think that dealing with Wanjia will be as likely to be done quietly as dealing with a weak woman? And he couldn't be sure who knew about what happened back then, and even if he could imagine that there must be very few people who knew about it, he would still be suspicious. ”
Speaking of this, Wan Congyuan looked at Bai Xiyun.
The young man sitting in front of him is handsome and handsome, with a noble temperament, he is such a handsome person, and it is also a great joy in life for him to have such an excellent grandson.
He was worried.
His decision has already harmed his daughter, his heart is full of remorse, but the matter has been irreparable at this point, he is afraid that he will lose his grandson under his negligence, if he let Bai Xiyun and Brother Yuan have something, he will not have the face to see his daughter in the future.
"You have to be careful. If it is inconvenient for him to touch us, then he will attack you first, after all, you are the real prince, if we get rid of you, won't our family be able to let him slaughter after he ascends to the throne in the future?" Wan Congyuan Yi grasped Bai Xiyun's hand.
Bai Xiyun's fingers were slender and slender, completely different from Wan Congyuan's big hand that took the patient out of the calloon, and felt the sincerity of the old man's dry and warm palm when he held himself, Bai Xiyun also held it back hard.
"I know what you're worried about. Rest assured, I will be careful and will not allow them to succeed. In fact, during this time, I have already hired people with money, and I have already taken precautions. ”
"That's good, as long as you're willing to take precautions. Wan Congyuan nodded with satisfaction.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other with warm smiles on their faces.
After a while, Wan Congyuan suddenly said, "You...... Do you have the heart for that position now?"
Bai Xiyun didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but carefully examined Wan Congyuan's expression, and then sneered: "You and I are a family, so there is no need for such a careful temptation between us." ”
Wan Congyuan couldn't help but feel hot when he heard this, shook his head and said, "It's my villain's heart." ”
"No, your concerns are understandable. In the past, I said, I am not keen on that position, if Chen Tianyou can ensure that he is honest and be a wise man, let's keep this secret and save the lives of our two families and live a life in peace and security. What can you do if you sit in the most revered position in the world?
Bai Xiyun sighed, and then continued: "But now that he has killed us, then this person will definitely not be able to stay. As for that position, I still say this, it doesn't matter who does it, but the authority must be in my hands. ”
"You ......" Wan Congyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Bai Xiyun in disbelief: "Do you want to be a regent?"
"No, I don't care who I am. Now my first priority is to get rid of Chen Tianyou. It doesn't matter who the throne will fall to in the future, as long as the person who sits in that position will not be disadvantageous to us, and of course, if this position does fall on my head, I am confident that I can afford it. Having said that, Bai Xiyun thought of Qi Miao under his ambition.
He was sorry for Qi Miao in his previous life, and he didn't give Qi Miao a day of stability and comfort in this life, she was tired and frightened with her, but she never gave up on herself, he once promised a lifetime and a couple, and he really didn't want to break this oath because he would be an emperor in the future. Besides, his appetite has already been cultivated by Qi Miao, how can he fall in love with other women?
If this is analyzed, there is nothing good about being an emperor.
Bai Xiyun's words were equivalent to giving Wan Congyuan a dose of reassurance.
Wan Congyuan was really worried that the death of Wan Guifei would provoke Bai Xiyun to retaliate like crazy, he was afraid that Bai Xiyun would be ruthless when he retaliated and forgot to protect the Wan family, if the Wan family finally fell into the victim, then wouldn't he and Wan Guifei's business in this life be ruined?
Fortunately, Bai Xiyun is a clear-headed child, and he understands what matters.
Wan Congyuan can finally put his mind at ease.
"Good. That being the case, I get it. He stood up and said, "Then I'll go back." lest someone find out that we are together, I am afraid that I will make King De suspicious. He's that guy...... Hmph, take care, if there is anything, our ancestors and grandchildren will discuss it, and don't be alone if you have something. ”
"Yes. Grandfather. Bai Xiyun responded, but naturally called Grandpa Wan Congyuan.
Wan Congyuan showed the first happy smile of the day and patted Bai Xiyun on the shoulder: "Okay." Good!"
Bai Xiyun was afraid of being seen by the spies, so he didn't send it in person, so he asked Guan Junyan to send Wan Congyuan. I went back to the inner house by myself.
Qi Miao was worried, and had already gone back and forth on the verandah several times. Seeing Bai Xiyun coming back, he immediately responded: "You're back." What's the matter with you?"
