Chapter 274 The Emperor's Family Is the Ruthless Family
"I believe in you, and I also believe in the Xiang family."
Qin Yun said lightly, with a calm and friendly demeanor.
This made Xiang Shengnan feel good in his heart.
She looked melancholy and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that my aunt couldn't be trusted back then, and all she got was a glass of poisonous wine."
Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned slightly.
"Isn't this the most fundamental gap between the Xiang family and me?"
"I know that this clue letter is just an expression of gratitude from your Xiang family, not loyalty."
Xiang Shengnan was silent. As a civilian, he did not dare to say some things.
Qin Yun continued: "You don't have to be afraid, just speak up."
"The living talk about the dead, and the people today talk about the ancients. It's just to bully them because they can't speak. Could it be that a wise woman like Miss Xiang would also listen to the rumors among the people and think that I am a tyrant?"
Xiang Shengnan's beautiful eyes lit up.
I was amazed in my heart, what a living person talking about dead people, but just bullying them because they can't speak. He is indeed a poet!
Deep in her heart, she had an inexplicable feeling of trusting Qin Yun, and was impressed by his charm.
She spoke slowly: "My aunt is an extremely gentle woman. She deeply loves the late emperor who was both civilized, political, and martial arts, but her infatuation always goes wrong."
"She died in a palace fight, at the hands of the person she loved most."
"A glass of poisonous wine will make the fragrance disappear."
Having said this, Xiang Shengnan's charming pupils showed a hint of desolation.
Not only because of the kinship, but also because as a woman, I feel the same way!
Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "There are some things that even I can't undo. When your aunt was sentenced to death, I was probably still in her infancy, right?"
"To put it bluntly, the late emperor is the late emperor, and I am the former emperor."
Hear the words.
Xiang Shengnan raised his head and looked at Qin Yun thoughtfully.
He said softly: "Your Majesty, the palace fight back then and my aunt's glass of poisonous wine were not without the shadow of Dowager Dou."
Under her gaze, Qin Yun felt a little embarrassed.
Could it be that she also knew that Dou Ji had become his concubine?
It's possible, after all, this matter is not top secret to begin with.
For a moment, Qin Yun was even more embarrassed. After all, "pushing aunt" had some ethics.
Seeing his reaction, Xiang Shengnan understood something in his heart. It seemed that the rumors were true. Concubine Dou was unparalleled in beauty, mature and sexy, and was favored by the emperor.
She took the initiative to change the topic to avoid embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, actually there are other things that make my father feel sad."
"After my aunt passed away, the Xiang family became worse and worse day by day. In order to help Daxia stabilize the world and prevent the martial arts masters from breaking the rules, the Xiang family offended too many people."
"The assassin you saw on the shore last night was one of them."
"The Xiang family lost power, and the enemies took revenge, but the court did not take care of my Xiang family."
She paused and hesitated: "My father has always felt abandoned and betrayed."
Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned.
"The imperial court owes you this, and I deeply apologize for this."
"In the years since I took over the throne, I did not pay attention to these issues. Now I am willing to make amends. I wonder if Miss Xiang can serve as a middleman and mediate among the senior officials of the Xiang family?"
His words and attitude had already set him very low, and he did not even speak in the tone of an emperor.
It can be said that Corporal Li Xian is extremely friendly.
Xiang Shengnan was surprised and warmed by it.
But, that's all.
In her heart, the imperial family is the ruthless family.
The reason why Qin Yun speaks like this now is because he needs his own Xiang family, and what he says can only guarantee his sincerity for a period of time.
A few years later, choices will still be made based on benefits.
She lowered her eyebrows and replied softly: "Your Majesty, you have been tolerant and patient enough to the Xiang family. My father and I are grateful."
"But the Xiang family is no longer what it used to be. We are really helpless. Please forgive me."
Qin Yun patted the snowflakes on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Miss Xiang, you have misunderstood me."
"I'm not asking you to persuade the Xiang family to come back out of the world and do things for me, but I want to resolve the estrangement and compensate the Xiang family."
Xiang Shengnan's beautiful eyes flickered as he looked at Qin Yun, wanting to see through.
But the harder she tried, the less able she was to see clearly that Qin Yun, this emperor, was really different.
Qin Yun put his hands behind his hands and continued: "Don't you believe it?"
"You write down those forces that come to take revenge on the Xiang family because they helped the imperial court."
"I promise you, within a month, I will destroy them all!"
The four words "disintegrate into ashes and smoke" are so impactful!
Mixed with the tyranny of an emperor and the power of life and death.
The "ugly face" under the veil is a bit complicated, and it actually feels like it is being protected.
She lightly pursed her red lips and said gratefully: "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. I hope that one day I can see you wipe out old enemies, pacify the rebels, and prosper the Great Summer."
Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned slightly.
Her subtext was that she declined the kindness, but still could not eliminate the gap.
She also represents the Xiang family.
There was silence for a while.
Qin Yun didn't force it. An emperor's courteous corporal could do it, but he definitely couldn't show his kindness one after another. It would only look cheap.
This has something in common with the relationship between men and women.
Changing the subject, he said: "Miss Xiang, I have a miracle doctor named Sun Changsheng who is the most skilled in the world."
"I think he can do something about your face. Why don't I send him to show it to you?"
Seeing how cautious he was, fearing to hurt himself, Xiang Shengnan felt a warm current pass through his heart, and he liked him better.
He stretched out his hand to tuck his temple hair, smiled and shook his head, looking very relieved.
"No, Your Majesty."
"Thank you for your kindness."
"In my opinion, the skin is just an external thing. The Bodhisattva who shows compassion to all living beings has a male and female appearance, so why should I care about this appearance?"
"A hundred years later, it will still be nothing but loess. Over the years, I have gotten used to it."
Qin Yun took a deep breath.
He could hear sadness in his open-minded tone.
This woman's indifference is definitely an act. Her inferiority complex last night cannot be faked. She cares about her appearance, but she just doesn't want to accept her kindness.
There was another short moment of silence.
"Well, my promise is valid. When did you figure it out, or the Xiang family figured it out."
"You can come to the imperial capital and ask me for help with anything."
"Everything can be regarded as my compensation to your Xiang family."
He smiled warmly, like a spring breeze.
In this cold winter month, it is strangely warm. This smile, by chance, is deeply embedded in Xiang Shengnan's mind, and it cannot be removed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." She bowed and saluted, very politely.
After talking for a while.
She's gone.
Qin Yun looked at her back and was still jealous of beauty. Beauty has its shortcomings.
Sudden!
Old Feng approached with a livid face.
He bent down and said: "Your Majesty, something happened in the imperial capital!"
