In the dark hall, Yuan Xi was in a daze as he looked at the courtyard illuminated by the moonlight.
He is often dazed like this recently.
Although he is still the nominal master, everyone knows that Shen Pei is the master of Yecheng, he is just a puppet. If there is any big deal, he is probably the last person he knows about, and signs at the designated place of Shen Pei.
Just draw a name.
He was like a trapped beast, knowing that a disaster was coming, but he had nowhere to escape.
Even if he wants to discuss it, he can't find a suitable person.
Those who can believe cannot get close to him, but those who can get close to him do not know whether they can believe him. No one knows whether those people have accepted the order of the Seifu and monitor him nearby.
Even Yuan's disciples and former officials, he could not believe them.
He knew that he did not have the prestige of his father and could not represent the Yuan family.
Even his brother Yuan Tan is not as good as him.
At least the people of Ruying would support Yuan Tan, and many rangers even regarded Yuan Tan as He Yong's heir. When Yuan Shao was backed up, they were willing to obey his orders. After Yuan Shao was captured by Yuan Shu, these rangers looked at him.
The eyes changed.
"Husband." Queen Guo walked over from behind, holding a light in her hand.
Yuan Xi glanced at her and couldn't help but sigh.
As a reward for his retreat to Yecheng, Shen Feng fulfilled his promise and asked him to marry Anping Guo Yong's daughter, Queen Guo. However, Queen Guo is not only not the real queen, but also a maid.
The Guo family was displaced during the war, Guo Yong and his wife died of illness, and Queen Guo was lost in the Tongshi Hou family and became a maid.
For Yuan Xi, this was simply a humiliation.
But he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only bow his head and obey.
People are the slaughter and I am a fish. The family's lives are in the hands of Shen Pei, and he dare not disobey at all. Not to mention a maid, even if he is an advocate, he can only accept it.
At least he can't think so much about how to meet people in the future.
He didn't even know whether there was a future.
"Husband, it's getting late, so let's take a break early." Queen Guo sat down next to Yuan Xi, picked up a palm-leaf fan, and slapped it gently.
The summer night was mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, Yuan Xi was too lazy to care, and several bags of them had been bitten on his face.
"I can't sleep." Yuan Xi sighed again. "You can rest first."
"Worry about the safety of my mother and her younger siblings?"
Yuan Xi looked at Queen Guo in surprise, hesitated for the film, and nodded again.
"The autumn harvest is coming. If nothing unexpected happens, the court will siege the city before the autumn harvest." Yuan Xi sighed: "Once the siege is encircled, it will be too late to surrender. People in the city, no matter young or old, may die, not just me.
My mother and younger brothers and sisters.”
"Auspicious people will have their own appearance, so your husband doesn't have to worry too much."
"What auspicious person I am? I'm just..." Yuan Xi suddenly thought of Queen Guo's identity and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"The husband's surname is Yuan. If the family is Yuan, the upper and lower clothes are all lucky people." Queen Guo smiled and said, "When Mr. Shao was lying in Xue Luoyang, the situation was even more dangerous than today, and he could turn danger into auspicious things.
The glory of the four surnames and three dukes of the Yuan family is a portrayal of the auspicious human and heavenly appearance. What is this danger in front of you?”
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "After that being said, I'm afraid that Yuan's luck will end here."
"Otherwise." Queen Guo waved her hand, and the maid brought some wine and poured a glass of Yuan Xi. "I think the Yuan family's destiny is not over yet, it just depends on whether you can catch it."
"What do you mean?" Yuan Xi picked up the wine glass and glanced at Queen Guo sideways, with a smile on his lips.
Even though he knew that Queen Guo was just comforting him, he was already very pleased to hear such words at this moment.
"Husband, in your opinion, will the uncle end up in good or bad?"
Yuan Xi didn't say anything. After thinking about it for a long time, he understood what Queen Guo meant.
The best result is that Yuan Shao’s actions were not beheaded and hung in the northern palace. It is already the best result. Being able to return to Ruyang alive, or even return to his clan and be buried beside his ancestors in the past is really not considered evil
end.
Thinking about Yuan Shu still gaining the trust of the emperor, Yuan Heng still has the opportunity to enter the palace, and the hope of Yuan's resurgence in the future has not been cut off. This result is far from a dead end.
It is not outrageous to say that it is auspicious people and heaven.
"It's a pity that these have nothing to do with me." Yuan Xi sighed: "I only live and die with Nengye City."
"It should be said that it is coexistence, not coexistence."
"Why do you say that?" Yuan Xi said cautiously.
Queen Guo was Shen Pei, and Tian Feng married him because of the decision. He didn't know if Queen Guo was Shen Pei, but Tian Feng was stuck by his side and never dared to believe him easily.
Even though she acted normally and was filial to his mother Liu, she took good care of her younger brothers and sisters, and even Yuan Shao's concubines were well taken care of.
"After all, there are a few people who are willing to burn their bodies." Queen Guo said Dandan: "The reason why Shen Zhengnan can still control the situation is that people doubt each other and dare not express their feelings. Anyone who dares to climb a high place will dare to climb a high place.
Huh, those who are left will have many people."
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment before she understood what Queen Guo meant and became uneasy.
"Queen, what are you saying?"
Queen Guo raised her head and smiled slightly. "Husband, this person should be you, but you are confused and dare not stand up."
Yuan Xi put down the wine glass, his heart pounding. "You...you can't say that, I...I don't..."
"Husband, do you think I married you because of Shen Pei, Tian Feng?" Queen Guo put away her smile and frowned slightly. "I am willing to marry you because your surname is Yuan. The people of Jizhou follow the Yuan family.
, not the Shen family. Even if the Yuan brothers fight and fail to do anything, the current lord of Yecheng should be you, not Shen Pei. If you want to save your family, you must be brave enough to do things instead of hiding here and complaining about yourself."
Yuan Xi's face turned pale. He opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say.
"Ba, sbang, sbang." There was suddenly a sound of applause from the side, and a man slowly walked out.
Yuan Xi was shocked and stood up. In a panic, the eucalyptus in front of him was overturned. The wine pot on the eucalyptus was sprinkled all over the floor, and the oil lamp fell to the ground. The fire rushed up and illuminated it.
There is a figure of someone coming.
Queen Guo stepped forward, blocked Yuan Xi, stared at the person who came, and looked alert.
"Who are you?"
"Xinpi Yingchuan." Xinpi bent down and picked up the wine pot on the ground, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all. "I didn't expect to enter Yecheng again, but I heard this noble statement from my wife. I felt happy,
happy."
"Zuo Zhi?" Yuan Xi recognized Xin Pi, was overjoyed, and reached out to push Queen Guo away, and stepped forward to Xin Pi. "Zuo Zhi, it's really you."
Xin Pi nodded, but looked at Queen Guo and smiled slightly. "There are many martyrs in Yan and Zhao, and even women are different. There is Zhen Mi in Zhongshan and Anping has a wife. Although Tian Feng was old and confused, he was the best partner selected for the general.
But he has good intentions.”
Seeing this, Queen Guo relaxed and bowed to salute. "It turned out to be Xin Jun, who was rude. Xin Jun came, and the general had a think tank, so my mother had to ramble. The big thing could be decided."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Xinpi returned a bow. "Madam, if you want to settle the big things, you may not be able to help you. Please wait and listen to me."
Yuan Xi looked at Xin Pi with some anxiety, and then looked at Queen Guo.
Queen Guo pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll listen to Xin Jun's high arguments."
