The first thousand two hundred and thirty-three chapters are self-inflicted
"No, I've already eaten. You can eat by yourself." Yu Nanjun said indifferently, turned around and left.
Helan Wan'er's heart only fluctuated slightly, and she didn't feel much disappointed after that. Because she had long been accustomed to Yu Nanjun's indifference and cold eyes, she seemed to be no longer as fragile as before.
"Prince" out of impatience, Helan Wan'er grabbed Yu Nanjun's arm, and then realized that she was being abrupt, so she quickly let go and lowered her eyes unnaturally.
Yu Nanjun turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Helan Wan'er raised her head and said, "Let's go to the palace to see the emperor together tomorrow to plead for my aunt and beg him to spare her life, okay?"
"The Queen Mother committed a capital crime, do you think begging for mercy will be of any use?" Yu Nanjun ruthlessly poured a large basin of cold water on Helan Wan'er.
"My father has already issued an imperial edict, and it is impossible to change the execution of my mother. No matter who pleads for mercy, it will be in vain.
What's more, the queen mother sent people to assassinate the father, and she has done many wrong things in the past, and she deserves her own fault for her current ending."
"You, how can you say that? My aunt is your mother, how can you be so indifferent?" Helan Wan'er couldn't believe her ears.
The reason why Yu Nanjun spoke so harshly and had such a cold attitude was because he wanted Helan Wan'er to give up on him, and now the effect has been achieved.
"You know my relationship with my mother very well, don't you? I have no mother-child feelings for her for a long time." He said with an indifferent face, without any emotion in his tone.
"Whether she lives or dies, it doesn't matter to me at all. I will not plead for her, nor will I be sad for her death."
From childhood to adulthood, the queen regarded Helan Wan'er as her own daughter, so the relationship between the two was very good. Now that the queen is Helan Wan'er's only remaining relative, she naturally hopes to save the queen's life.
But after listening to Yu Nanjun's words, she completely lost hope, and her eyes gradually became dull. "I understand, I'm going back to the house first."
"Wait!" Yu Nanjun suddenly stopped her, "There is something I will tell you now."
Helan Wan'er immediately stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I don't plan to take you to the northwest this time. I have already arranged your future life for you."
"Are you going to divorce me?"
The tone of her question was full of sadness, which made Yu Nanjun suddenly feel unbearable.
Under the light, there were two lines of tears streaming down her white cheeks, as crystal clear as pearls. Yu Nanjun's heart twitched violently, and he suddenly wanted to reach out to wipe away her tears, hold her in his arms and comfort her softly.
Yu Nanjun suddenly withdrew his thoughts and was startled by what he had just thought. What was he thinking? How could he have that thought?
He quickly moved his eyes away and said as if nothing had happened: "There is no such thing as divorce. You and I are not a real couple. When you married me, you were under the orders of your mother and uncle and had no choice but to do so.
Now that the Helan family no longer exists, and the burdens on you and me are gone, we should no longer be forcibly tied together. It is better to separate as soon as possible, and go far away and be free.
You are still young and an innocent daughter. In the future, you can find a man who is happy with you and get married and live a happy life. It is much better than following me to that bitter and cold place."
Helan Wan'er's heart grew colder inch by inch.
He wanted her to find a mutually agreeable man to get married, and then live a happy life. Little did she know that apart from him, she couldn't find anyone else in the world that she could love deeply, so how could she be happy?
"After all these years, you still don't understand my feelings for you?"
Yu Nanjun was startled when she asked this question. In fact, how could he not understand her intentions? If he was not sure before, after these two years of getting along, he was sure enough.
Whenever he was drunk, she would take care of him silently and attentively. No matter how bad his attitude was, she would bear it silently with a smile. She would always turn around and feel sad.
Yu Nanjun saw all this and remembered it in his heart. However, his heart had died with Rou'er's death, and he could no longer have anything with other women.
"Whether you understand it or not, it doesn't make any sense, because my heart has died a long time ago. You should look for someone who can give you happiness."
Deeply hurt, Helan Wan'er smiled suddenly, and the smile on her beautiful face looked extremely bitter. "I understand, don't worry, I will never pester you, I will do as you arrange."
After saying that, Helan Wan'er turned around and went to the inner courtyard.
Yu Nanjun stayed where he was, watching her thin back submerged in the dark night, with mixed feelings in his heart and a bit of reluctance to leave. He thought, it was because they had been together for a long time and had become accustomed to her, right?
What Yu Nanjun didn't know was that Helan Wan'er went to Tianlao to see the queen the next day.
"Aunt, are you okay?"
The queen felt that she had fallen to this point, but Helan Wan'er was still willing to come see her, and she felt relieved in her heart.
Over the years, she has treated Wan'er like a daughter. Although she has a purpose, she has invested her true feelings. Now that they meet like this, she can't help but feel sad.
"I can eat and sleep, but I still can't die."
Helan Wan'er couldn't help but have red eyes. Too many things had happened during this period. She lost her loved ones and couldn't bear it. Seeing that her aunt was about to leave again, she felt extremely sad.
"Aunt, you have suffered so much, Wan'er can't bear to leave you..."
The queen smiled, showed a kind smile, stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and persuaded her: "Silly child, who in life is free from death?
My aunt just passed away a few years earlier than most people. She has had everything she should have in this life and has no regrets.
Don't be reluctant, my aunt's only wish now is that you can live a good life with Juan'er, take good care of him, and take good care of yourself, so that my aunt can rest assured."
Helan Wan'er suddenly remembered her conversation with Yu Nanjun last night, and couldn't help but feel even more sad. She and Yu Nanjun were about to separate, and they would be far apart from now on. Her aunt's wish might not be realized.
"Wan'er is useless. I saw my aunt die unjustly and I can't save you. I'm sorry!"
When the queen heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the light of hope ignited in her eyes. She didn't want to die yet. Although she showed that she was waiting to die, in fact, deep down in her heart, she still had a lot of unwillingness.
At this moment, the queen suddenly came up with a plan to escape. She asked Helan Wan'er: "Wan'er, if my aunt has a way to escape, will you help me?"
Helan Wan'er suddenly raised her head, looked at the queen with joy, and said excitedly: "Really? Does my aunt really have a way to escape? As long as it can save you, Wan'er can do anything."
