Chapter 350 Protecting her is the wish of his life
A pair of hands moved forward from the waist to hug Ye Wanwan's waist and tighten it, with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Are you thinking about Cheng Yan?"
Ye Wanwan twitched the corners of her lips. At this moment, she was not in the mood to care about Yan Chen's little temper, and she did not refute. She was really thinking about Cheng Yan, not about him, but about the Cheng family's war.
"I'm just feeling a little emotional." Ye Wanwan let out a long sigh: "Everyone in the world talks about the family and the country, but the Cheng family has been stationed at the frontier for more than two hundred years, and several generations have been buried there. What they protect is not the imperial power, but the peace of the people.
The righteousness of the world is worthy of awe."
"They are also knighted nobles. They work hard at the border. Looking back at the princes and nobles in the court, they are all extravagant and have unsatisfied desires. There are also some people who are ambitious and only want to gain power and profit. Who cares about it?
Why is there such a huge gap between people in the world?"
She laughed at herself: "Speaking of which, I am just one of them. I enjoy the prosperous world they bought with their own flesh and blood. How can I say anything about them?"
"What are you thinking about?" Yan Chen kissed the side of her face gently: "The Cheng family is indeed worthy of respect, but you don't have to be so depressed. Madam is already very good."
"The same rice feeds hundreds of people, common people, royal family, ministers, generals, all kinds of existences make up the family, country and world. You can't think that everyone should look up to them just because of the Cheng family's sacrifice and dedication."
"The Cheng family is worthy of admiration, but this is no reason to belittle oneself. It is not only the Cheng family's army that is stationed at the border, but also the Lin family, Wu family, and countless soldiers. They are all worthy of admiration, and so is my wife."
"You were treated unfairly. Although you resented and resisted, you never brought trouble to the world. You chose Zhao Zhuo as the emperor, taught him carefully, and cleared obstacles for him to grow, so that he could finally stand up to the world. He became a
Good emperor, this is your merit."
"As for those people, there is a cycle of cause and effect, and God's will is there."
"Everyone has a different identity, a different destiny, and different responsibilities. It is enough for you to do your best, and there is no need to shoulder other people's burdens on your shoulders."
Ye Wanwan did not feel that she had done anything worthy of respect. She only supported Zhao Zhuo because she was afraid that killing Zhao Yi would cause chaos in the world. She could not bear such a crime.
And she didn’t teach Zhao Zhuo anything, it was Yan Chen who taught him more.
But she really didn't have to go into trouble, she just felt it.
What protects the peaceful and prosperous age is not flowers and beauties, but countless bodies of flesh and blood.
At that time, Yan Chen also fought for his life on the battlefield of Jin Kingdom, killed countless enemies, made great military exploits, and protected the peace of the country. Yan Chen was no worse than them.
He turned around and put his arms around Yan Chen's waist, burying his whole body in his arms: "I just say it's okay, but in fact I'm extremely lazy, lazy and selfish. It's not okay for me to work hard for others."
"Whether it's the world or the people, I can't control that much. I just want to live a peaceful and leisurely life with you."
Yan Chen smiled and hugged her tightly: "Okay, just do what you like best and leave the rest to me."
Protecting her was his lifelong wish.
----
The border battle reports kept coming, but before Cheng Yan could arrive, the Duke of Lu was injured. Although the battle was won, the casualties were heavy, and the situation was not optimistic.
This time, the tribes from outside the region gathered together with great force, threatening to destroy the Central Plains.
The Cheng family's line of defense has been blocking them for two hundred years. This gathering has been planned for a long time and will definitely last until death.
When I think about the situation that will be caused by the barbarians going south, the whole country will not be stable. The bloodbath of the country two hundred years ago is clearly written in the history books. They burned, killed, looted, and ate people. It is terrifying to think about it.
Now they only hope that the Duke of Lu will be brave and invincible, defeat the enemy army, and never let the enemy army enter the pass.
Feng Wei had a little bit of luck, and the Cheng family's child was not seriously injured. Now that the child has been returned, and the Cheng family has accepted compensation, the matter has been solved perfectly. So, does the Feng family's crime just end?
Not so heavy anymore?
Especially Feng Jun's arm was chopped off. This was enough to make amends, right? Thinking of this, she felt quite sad. It was so unfair that the Cheng family's children were fine, but her brother was disabled.
But now the emperor is angry. The emperor scared her last time. She doesn't dare to say harsh words now. He will be detained for a few days. After a few days, when the anger subsides, she can beg for mercy again.
But it had only been a few days, and the borders were in turmoil, and people were in panic.
The barbarians went south, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. The emperor was not an alarmist.
Father, brother, blood relationship, son, emperor, the world, what is more important should be divided lightly.
With her around, the emperor would always have some worries, and the Feng family would not have to worry about being stable and wealthy. As for making contributions and sharing the king's worries, let's forget about it.
She finally thought about the matter clearly, but before she could take a breath, the emperor fell ill.
It's not a serious illness, it's just overwork and a cold.
Feng Wei didn't care whether her son wanted to see her or not, so she hurriedly went to visit.
The imperial doctor had already boiled the medicine and gave it to the emperor to drink. Queen Xu Wanyi was waiting inside.
Seeing the Queen Mother arriving in a hurry, Xu Wanyi stood up quickly: "Mother."
How could Feng Wei care about her? It was her father and brother who caused such a mess and made her prince sick from exhaustion. Thinking about it made her feel extremely guilty.
"Your Majesty, Zhuo'er..."
Zhao Zhuo was lying on the bed, with thin cheeks and a pale face. He was clearly fine a few days ago, but now he has become like this. Feng Wei was so distressed that she shed tears.
Xu Wanyi comforted her softly: "Mother, take care of yourself. The emperor is just too tired. He just drank medicine. The imperial doctor told him to have a good rest."
"What do you know?" Feng Wei yelled at her angrily, and then her eyes became even redder. She seemed to have found an outlet, grabbing Xu Wanyi and scolding her: "How do you take care of people? Why did the emperor suddenly fall ill? What on earth are you doing?
Do you have any intentions? As a queen, why can't you do this well?"
Xu Wanyi was stunned by the scolding: "..."
It's simply unreasonable.
Xu Wanyi learned a lot after being selected as the queen. She is already a qualified queen. She can properly handle all matters in the palace, treat people and things in a generous manner, and is completely different from her past self.
But she is a queen, not a slave. She is not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. Once the emperor is busy, she almost never sees anyone. The emperor falls ill from working on state affairs. Who can blame her?
Besides, she doesn't feel bad when her husband is sick? She wishes she was the one who got sick.
But she also understood that Feng Wei was using her as a punching bag. Feng Wei had always disliked her, and it was the emperor's insistence that she become the queen.
The emperor has only her as his queen so far, and he respects and loves her. Now he is sick. Because of this, she cannot make trouble with the queen mother in front of the hospital bed.
It's not just a few scoldings, it's not like she has never been scolded before.
For your husband's sake, if you endure it, you won't lose a piece of meat anyway.
