Ye Fuxun looked at Yu Xiunan, and saw that his face was full of calmness and calmness. He was obviously not wearing a mask, but he seemed to be wearing one, because no one could see any clues from his expression.
This person's heart is unfathomable and he is really not an easy person to deal with. I don't know whether he is willing to facilitate peace talks or whether he doesn't care.
"Actually, there's something I really don't understand. Why does my father insist on letting me go back to the Western Kingdom?"
Yu Xiunan held the lid of the tea cup, slowly plucked the floating leaves on the water, and moved her lips:
"My father is getting older and has become more and more ill in the past two years. He said that he always recalls many things from his youth. Among them, the most vivid people and things in his memory are Concubine Shu and getting along with Concubine Shu.
time.
Father misses Concubine Shu, and naturally he also misses you. Thinking of his neglect and indifference towards you over the years, he feels quite regretful in his heart, so he wants to see you again in his lifetime. It's that simple!"
Hearing this, all the memories of Yu Siling's past came flooding in, making Ye Fuxun feel a strong resentment and sadness growing in his heart, which spread instantly, and for some reason, he sneered:
"If I remember correctly, Concubine Shu was sent to death by Emperor Father himself, right? Why does he miss her?"
Concubine Shu was Yu Siling's mother-concubine. When Yu Siling was five years old, she was given poisonous wine by the emperor because of some things, and she died in hatred.
Yu Siling was still young at that time, but she clearly remembered the desperate and desolate look in her mother's eyes before she died. With tears in her eyes, she said to her daughter: "Ling'er, you have to live well.
When you grow up, escape from this deep palace and never come back again."
At that time, Yu Siling couldn't understand her mother's words. The palace was their home, so why did they run away? Why didn't they come back? When she grew up, she understood, because it was a place where people could eat people without spitting out their bones, and it was a dark hell.
Even though she suffered a lot of grievances and torture there, she still couldn't bear to leave, because it held the best memories of her and her mother-in-law, and she didn't want to throw them away.
But in the end, she was forced to get married by an imperial edict issued by her cruel father. She once thought about dying and going to the underworld to look for her mother and concubine, but she recalled her mother's concubine's words before she died, so
She gritted her teeth and lived again.
But she never expected that on the way to get married, she would be killed, and no one would even try to save her.
Ye Fuxun uncontrollably recalled the past events of Yu Sailing, and felt extremely sad. It turned out that Yu Sailing's fate was as rough and miserable as hers, but she was not as lucky as she was. With the help of God, she lived another life.
Suddenly, a sense of responsibility arose in Ye Fuxun's heart. Since she had used Yu Siling's body to live on her behalf, she should do something for her to repay her kindness for giving up her body.
Back then, Concubine Shu was framed to death. Yu Siling always believed that her mother-in-law was innocent, but it was a pity that she could not reverse the case for her mother, so it was better for her to complete the matter on her behalf.
In this way, it not only stabilizes the Western Kingdom for Dongchen, but also avenges Yu Siling's mother.
Yu Xiunan's faint voice interrupted Ye Fuxun's thoughts.
"Perhaps older people like to miss old memories. Or maybe he regrets that he didn't leave a way for Concubine Shu to survive. How can we, as ministers, make random guesses about our father's thoughts?"
Ye Fuxun sneered again, indicating that she didn't believe it. Yu Yunxuan on the side said:
"Sixth sister, my father really misses you. He often said that he was sorry for Concubine Shu and for you. He knew that you didn't want to see him again, so before I came, he told me to persuade you to go back and meet him.
"
Seeing Yu Yunxuan's sincere words and sincere expression, Ye Fuxun believed it. Maybe they were right, old people like to miss the past.
Ye Fuxun then looked at Yu Yunxuan and asked: "What about you, Third Sister? Did you come to Dongchen voluntarily? Or were you the same as me? Were you forced to do so?"
When asking questions, Ye Fuxun's eyes were filled with confusion, inquiry, and even suspicion. Yu Yunxuan lowered her eyes, with a touch of sadness in her eyes, and answered something that went against her will:
"I came here willingly. As a princess of the Western Kingdom, I have been growing up under the wings of my father and emperor and my mother and concubine since I was a child. I am safe and happy, without any worries. Now, it is time for me to share their worries and do something for the country.
.”
Ye Fuxun curled her lips and smiled without saying a word. Are you willing? There shouldn't be a princess in this world who is willing to leave her hometown and get married far away from her motherland, right? If so, that would be really admirable!
Now that the conversation has reached this point, Ye Fuxun is no longer going to hesitate. She asks again: "You have taken a fancy to the regent, right?"
There was a rare hint of appreciation on Yu Xiunan's handsome face. He looked at Ye Fulun and his smile deepened. "I didn't expect that Sixth Sister is so much smarter than before that she can see this."
Ye Fuxun felt that there was a chill in his tone of voice. No, it should be said that it was vigilance and hostility. He was worried that she would go back and say something to Bai Yuxian and the others, right?
"Not only can I see it, but they can also see it. Xiao Yunchen is not a fool. How can he not feel the third sister's deliberate closeness?"
"So what if you see it, we are just using each other. As long as he marries the third sister and lets you go back to the Western Kingdom, then the covenant will be signed."
"What about the future?" Ye Fuxun asked again, "In the future, the third sister will be alone in Dongchen, and even her husband will be on guard against her day and night. How will she live?"
Hearing this, Yu Yunxuan looked at Ye Fuxun, her eyes flashing with water, and her heart was filled with emotion. As expected, Liu Mei was the only one who really cared about her.
"In the future, it will depend on Third Sister's own abilities." Yu Xiunan tilted her head and turned her gaze to Yu Yunxuan. These words have a deep meaning. Yu Yunxuan's mission is not to marry Xiao Yunchen.
It's the end.
Ye Fuxun thought that Yu Xiunan only meant to let Yu Yunxuan fend for herself in Dongchen, and felt angry for a moment.
Since ancient times, the interests of the country have involved women. When women are sacrificed, they still do not get what they deserve. It is a tragedy from beginning to end. However, how can Yu Yunxuan, a good person like her, be allowed to suffer such a fate?
Yu Xiunan turned her gaze back to Ye Fulun and asked, "Sixth sister, after talking so much, you haven't said anything about your thoughts and decisions yet."
Ye Fuxun stretched out his hand to hold the slightly hot tea cup and said: "The second emperor brother has already made a condition, do I still have the right to choose?"
Yu Xiunan raised her lips and smiled and said: "As a brother, I still say the same thing. You are the princess of the Western Kingdom, and your heart should be towards the Western Kingdom, not Dongchen."
Yu Yunxuan frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Second brother, how can Sixth Sister not understand this truth? Why do you have to be like this..."
