For the first time in his life, Emperor Yaoguo felt that he was in control. The reason was simply that his arrogant second son bowed his head and admitted defeat. From daring to challenge him to obediently obeying the arrangements and going to the border, when Yi Huaiyu obeyed and left, this father-in-law
He even refused to see him off, and even excluded all the cronies around Yi Huaiyu.
Ou Suiliang's official position was demoted again and again, and he was already downgraded to the point where he was not qualified to go out with the army. After seeing Yi Huaiyu leave that day, he walked back to the Xiguang Palace in silence with the various looks of the ministers, becoming the most dedicated person in the deserted palace.
defender.
He always tried his best to complete the things he agreed with Yi Huaiyu.
It was on the fourth day after Sima Tulan came to visit that the eldest lady of the Sima family, who had been deliberately deceived, burst into the Yaohing Hall angrily, followed by her brother and uncle who were sweating profusely.
"Where is Yi Huaiyu? Where is he?" He kicked open the door of Yi Huaiyu's room. Naturally, the familiar figure could not be found in the room. Sima Tulan turned around with cold and angry eyes, "Brother said he was in the palace.
What? Where are the people? They also said that the rumors were lies, but I think the people who lied are clearly my brother and uncle!"
Yao Junxian looked helpless: "Yes, yes, the second prince has indeed been sent to the border. Isn't it because my uncle didn't want to tell you because he was afraid that you would do something stupid on impulse? Anyway, he has been gone for four days, and it is too late to chase him now."
Ou Suiliang didn't know what happened to the Sima family, but it seemed that Sima Tulan didn't know about Yi Huaiyu's trip to the southern border. Now that he learned about it, he was furious. Even Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian were implicated in the anger.
It gave him a sense of schadenfreude - seeing the two old foxes in trouble made him feel really comfortable.
Feeling comfortable, I still have to endure the honorable work I have to do. Ou Suiliang cleared his throat and raised his arm to block Sima Tulan: "His Royal Highness has left the imperial capital for more than four days, does Miss Sima know it now? If Miss Sima
If you have anything important to tell me, I will convey it to His Highness word for word."
"No need, I will tell him personally if you have anything to say!"
Glancing hard at Su Shiyun who was standing beside her blankly, Sima Duran strode towards the door. After taking a few steps, she was stopped by Sima Yuan, who had a serious look on her face: "Where are you going?"
"Nanjie, look for Yi Huaiyu."
Sima Yuan took a breath, and there was a hint of anger in his brows: "What nonsense! The southern border may be at war with other countries at any time and it is very dangerous. Isn't that where you should go? Go back to the general's mansion and stay there, and don't make any more trouble!"
"Making trouble? I've already solved this mess, how about it, no?" Sima Duran laughed angrily, completely ignoring that the person in front of her was her blood relative, her tone was sarcastic, "Since my brother knows the dangers in the southern border, why should he let him alone?"
Going there, what should I do if I encounter a bad person who causes mischief along the way? As the saying goes, "Business cannot be done without righteousness." Even if Yi Huaiyu, his brother, and uncle cannot continue their activities, they should still be righteous. What does it mean to ignore him whether he lives or dies? You have to be
It's up to you to cower or look on coldly, I will definitely go and help him!"
Ou Suiliang was slightly startled, a little surprised.
Is Sima Tulan planning to chase Yi Huaiyu to the southern border? There is chaos and chaos there. Does she understand what a stupid choice it is? The love she says is probably not enough to sacrifice her life and death for Yi Huaiyu.
That's right.
Not only Ou Suiliang, but Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian were also shocked. Sima Yuan even widened his eyes and shouted loudly to stop. However, Sima Tulan ignored everyone's obstruction and kicked Sima Yuan before running out of the Xiguang Palace.
"General Sima, Mr. Yao, it's better for me to go. Miss Sima is in a bad mood at the moment. If you two talk more, it will make her angry." Ou Suiliang stood in front of Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian and made a move to Su Shiyun without leaving any trace.
With a look, Su Shiyun hurriedly invited the two of them into the palace. The two looked at each other and shook their heads, leaving Ou Suiliang to pursue Sima Tulan.
"Two adults, please have some tea." Su Shiyun took the tea from the maid and served it in person. Her gentle and polite appearance did not show that she came from a commoner's home in the water town, and the shyness on her cheeks showed her unique charm.
Now everyone inside and outside the palace knew that she was the woman Yi Huaiyu wanted to marry as his concubine, and Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian were no exception. After taking the tea and placing it on the table, Yao Junxian raised his eyebrows and looked at her critically. For a while, he remained silent.
Leng Bure hummed softly: "I thought it was some kind of beautiful lady who captivated His Highness the Second Prince. Take a closer look, but that's all."
"Your Highness is young and impetuous, and it is inevitable that you will be immature when dealing with people and things. When you have more experience in the future, you will understand that although some things look good, they are not so satisfying when used."
What Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian said to each other were ambiguous and had hidden meanings. Su Shiyun could understand that they were "reminding" her that as a powerless civilian woman, she had no feelings for Yi Huaiyu.
There will be no benefit to future great undertakings.
But, so what?
It is his choice to be an emperor or to be a leader. Regardless of whether he is a king or a bandit, she just wants him to be happy. Especially when she is not as valuable as Sima Tulan, she hopes to do her best to bring benefits to Yi Huaiyu.
Something, even just to accompany him and accept his protection.
Facing the almost aggressive reminder, Su Shiyun just smiled gently, which made Yao Junxian's dissatisfaction intensified. Before he could say a few words, his expression became worse and worse: "Miss Su, do you really not understand or are you just pretending? I am pretending.
I don’t want to speak too bluntly in case I hurt our friendship, but if Miss Su pretends to be confused...hehe, for Tu’er, I don’t care who I break up with.”
"I understand what Mr. Yao said about the poetry. It's just that the relationship cannot be arranged by anyone. If His Highness is interested in Miss Sima, the poetry cannot be stopped." Su Shiyun tilted the teapot to refill the fragrant tea. Su Shiyun still lowered his eyebrows and spoke softly, "
Relationships can only be verified through the test of time. Why don't you two adults give His Highness and Miss Sima a period of time to get along before making a decision? If His Highness changes his feelings and no longer needs Shiyun, Shiyun will withdraw immediately, which will never hinder Miss Sima's beautiful marriage.
."
There are all kinds of schemes in the world, but if you meet someone who is absolutely determined, no amount of deep planning will work. When it comes to the relationship between the three of them, Su Shiyun is the character who is completely determined.
It was useless for Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian to say anything, but they just thought about the sister and niece they held in the palm of their hands and had to endure the pain of lovesickness, and they felt uneasy after all.
After a short moment of silence, Sima Yuan, who was more stable, spoke in a low voice: "Miss Su, do you understand the current situation?"
"I have little knowledge of poetry and rhyme, and I don't know anything about the affairs of the former dynasty and the harem."
Sima Yuan sighed, not caring whether Su Shiyun was being modest or just really didn't understand. He frowned slightly with his long and heroic eyebrows, squeezing out a little worry and sadness about his uncertain future.
"The emperor is timid and narrow-minded. On the one hand, he relies on His Highness to maintain peace on the border. On the other hand, he is afraid that His Highness will seek power and usurp the throne and force him to step down. In addition, the prince and some treacherous ministers are making up troubles and nonsense behind his back. It can be said that His Highness is a
Love it and hate it. Miss Su should know something about the affairs of the court. This time the emperor bestowed titles on me and my uncle just to weaken His Highness. In this case, who my uncle and I rely on is very important - Miss Su
I really like His Highness, I should have an idea of what to do."
