In the Yangxin Hall, Feng Yehan and Feng Xuan both looked at the signed lotteries in surprise, and kept secret about the name on it.
However, only Feng Wuyan silently took the stick and dumped the full tube of wooden sticks on the ground.
"Ah, the secret is revealed..."
Xiao Xiruo blinked helplessly, looking at the wooden signs with her name written all over the floor, without any regrets on her face.
Because this is what she specifically asked Xue Xue and the others to do, to make it look like she wanted to draw lots to harm others, but unfortunately she harmed herself.
However, Feng Xuan and Feng Yehan, who saw the truth, did not expose it. Ayan, who she thought understood her best, made a mistake.
Seeing Feng Yehan and Feng Xuan coughing and saying goodbye, Xiao Xiruo finally walked slowly to Feng Wuyan, stared at him with a pair of bright eyes and said with a smile:
"What's wrong? Didn't I agree that the plague will belong to me..."
Feng Wuyan didn't say anything, but just darkened his peach blossom eyes, lowered his eyes and bit her lips.
Raising his hand to touch the memorials all over the table, he pressed her on the imperial desk and took away her voice skillfully and gently.
It wasn't until the girl gently pulled his sleeves with her hands and looked at him with watery eyes that he opened his thin lips and uttered three words in a low voice.
"You're not allowed to go."
Not confident, but firm enough.
I obviously said it, but I just want to go back on it.
He is not Feng Yehan, so he cannot take his Yan Moqing to the disaster area to act righteously like Feng Xuan remembered in his previous life.
He is a tyrant, a person who never intends to bring peace to Dayan and peace to Beiyi...
In other words, he is cold-blooded from beginning to end.
He doesn't care about human life, let alone human life that has nothing to do with him.
It can be said that it is good that he does not take the initiative to cause trouble now.
His ailment was so dangerous that he could not wait to hang it on his body every day, watching and guarding her all the time.
The plague in the capital a few days ago has already made the sick and mentally exhausted, let alone the twelve counties in the river?
He sent out spies last night before Lu Liang fell asleep, and the intelligence just returned by the spies told him that the situation in the river was far more serious than what Lu Liang saw.
"Ayan, we clearly agreed."
Looking helplessly at Feng Wuyan who was holding her down and not letting her go, just using the iron chain she made to tie her body, Xiao Xiruo didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
"If I had known that there was a river outside the capital, how would I have agreed to it that day?"
Feng Wuyan buried his face in Xiao Xiruo's hair, acting like a fool and not being honest.
"But you still agreed."
Xiao Xiruo raised her hand and stroked his back, carefully grasping the key points for him.
And before he wanted to refute again, he said softly:
"Ayan, if I don't go, who are you going to send? Cousin? Feng Xuan? Or those people in the court? Although my Xiao family has several capable ministers, they can only fight and train troops to defend the city. They may understand
People's livelihood, but they don't know anything about epidemic prevention. You think about the world, so you must know that I have to go, right?"
Gently pushing the young man away, Xiao Xiruo's bright eyes were as clear as water, penetrating and gentle.
At the very beginning, when she met Ayan, she just wanted to get points and use his high emotions to save her own life.
Does she have any big ambitions?
Not really.
She just wanted to protect herself, her family in this body, and do what she could for her mother's family.
But most of the time a person lives, he cannot help himself.
Just like she bought food for the Xiao family and then thought about cotton-padded clothes, she had to think about the government situation after having cotton-padded clothes.
Just like she knew that the villain was cold-hearted and murderous, but she still fell in love with him and wanted to protect him.
Reality is pushing everyone to move forward.
No one can really do whatever they want.
Ayan can't do it, and neither can she.
From the moment she became Xiao Xiruo, she was destined to shoulder the responsibility of the Xiao family, and what is the Xiao family for? It is the peace of the country and the people of Yan...
Similarly, she didn't want Ayan to think of himself as a tyrant, so that the Owl tribe could only hide in Tibet, and let the identity of the Owl tribe become Ayan's lifelong criticism.
When you have something you want to protect, there are certain things you have to do.
For example, try to find ways to attract more people, save more negative income, and work hard to live longer for yourself and Ayan.
Seeing the refusal in the girl's eyes, Feng Wuyan fell silent again.
He seemed to have a lot to say, and even his peach blossom eyes, which shone like stars in the sky, were tainted with a trace of unspeakable compassion.
"Xiruo, you tried your best to save them from misery, but they may not be grateful to you, did you know that?"
Feng Wuyan said this very softly, but Xiao Xiruo was keenly aware of a trace of ridicule.
"If people talk about selfishness and interests, not only will they not be grateful, they may even bite you, curse you, and destroy you."
In a daze, Feng Wuyan recalled the curses that echoed in his mind. They were a woman's desperate cry, and they were lessons written in blood by the owl tribe.
Then, he saw Xiao Xiruo tilting his head and said seriously:
"But I don't need their gratitude in the first place. Look at the patients who have been discharged from the hospital in the capital, is there any one who is grateful to me?"
Feng Wuyan: "?"
He thought about the chaotic dance of demons he had seen.
And the resentful and forbearing eyes of those patients.
Feng Wuyan fell silent.
In the end, Xiao Xiruo finally convinced his great beauty.
There is no way, she is the best candidate for both public and private matters.
And in order to cope with the possibility that the beauty would regret the matter, she had people spread the news that she was the one chosen by lot early in the morning.
So whether it was for her reputation or the Tian family's face, she had to go.
Unless Feng Wuyan, who cares most about her reputation, is willing to let her be a villain who breaks her word and is ridiculed by all the courtiers and people.
Obviously, Feng Wuyan wouldn't.
After Wen Susu, Chu Jiaojiao, and all the imperial doctors promised to take good care of her health, Feng Wuyan's last reason for opposition was gone.
So he said he wanted to go too.
Then he was rejected by Xiao Xiruo, Feng Yehan, and Feng Xuan.
The reason is very simple. He is the king of a country and the best person to stabilize Dayan and confuse Sang Qing.
If even he went to the river, then the court would not only be in chaos, but also the people would be distracted.
Sang Qing will smell everything more keenly and make some unexpected changes again.
The most important thing is that it is useful in the capital, but useless in the river.
In Xiao Xiruo's words, you are a majestic emperor. Do you want to come with me to watch the patients dance?
Feng Wuyan felt bitter.
But if the little sick guy said that, what could he do?
So in the sunny afternoon, Feng Wuyan still stood under the Zhengyang Gate, watching Xiao Xiruo get on the carriage leaving Beijing with the remaining officials.
Also leaving with her were thousands of people from Yiluan Division, as well as a group of elites from the Xiao family and Hongchen.
Of course, she also studied in Beiliang and asked her father for five thousand elite soldiers, which her brother would lead personally.
There's nothing you can do about it, angering people is risky, so why don't you bring some thugs?
