Chapter 274 He Wants to Grant You a Marriage During This Hunt

Wen Yueyin left happily.

Wen Xingluo silently lit a candle for the three brothers of the Wen family.

After washing up, Wen Xingluo sat down in front of the dressing table to put on her makeup, but found a note under the butterfly hairpin.

She picked it up and saw a long note with a sentence on it:

——You love Xie Guanlan deeply, and you decide that every time you see him in the future, you will kiss him affectionately.

Wen Xingluo stared at the note.

This is her handwriting.

But when did she write this?

The spring breeze, carrying the fragrance of flowers, blew open the hibiscus window.

Wen Xingluo was still a little vague about the past, and couldn't remember whether he was really so reckless when he was with Xie Guanlan in private, so he had to hide the note in his pocket first.

She put on a butterfly hairpin and went to pay her respects to Wei Si.

At this time, Wei Si was helping Xie Zhe change his clothes.

Today was a day off and she didn't have to go to court, so she picked out a dark green casual suit for Xie Zhe.

Xie Zhe looked at the person in the bronze mirror.

Although he has been diligent in archery and horse riding over the years and believes that his muscles are stronger than those of young people, yesterday's competition with Xie Guanlan made him clearly realize that even if he takes good care of himself and even if he has all the power in the world, time will not be kind to him.

Being old is being old.

Emperors are no exception.

Xie Zhe's mind flashed back to Xie Guanlan's performance yesterday, and fear grew in his eyes.

He would not allow a second person to seize power in the world.

Xie Guanlan, you can’t stay.

Wei Si fastened his belt for him and asked softly, "What are you thinking about, Your Majesty?"

Xie Zhe held her hand.

A woman's hands are delicate and tender.

It reminded him of when he was a hostage in the capital when he was young. Although he was entangled with Wei Si and although he pretended to be nice to her, he had never really touched her.

Now that he has gained the world, he suddenly misses the fragrant breeze brought by the little princess's sleeves that year, and her eyes of pure love, which he seems to never get.

He should have held her hand once when he was young.

He glanced at Wei Si, "I've been thinking about how much I've missed out on from you in my life. Back when I was young, I was so obsessed with revenge that I never held your hand. I wonder how holding your hand when we were young compares to how it feels now."

Wei Si lowered her eyes and smiled, "I am old now, and naturally my youthful beauty and delicate skin are no longer as delicate as they once were. Your Majesty holds the throne of the world. If you like young girls, you can order a selection of new concubines."

Xie Zhe laughed, "Young girls should naturally be liked by young men."

Although he likes to seize power, he has no interest in little girls, and the talent show has been shelved for many years.

He prefers mature women.

He stroked the back of Wei Si's hand, as if stroking a lost and recovered treasure, and his tone was calm, whether it was true or false, "I only want Si Si. It is my honor to be able to reconcile with Si Si."

Wei Si bit her lips and smiled shyly with her head tilted to the side.

After breakfast, Xie Zhe went to the imperial study to handle official business.

Wen Xingluo came over to pay his respects, but before he could say a few words to Wei Si, Wen Yueyin suddenly arrived.

Wen Yueyin coughed lightly, "Little sister, I have something important to discuss with Mother, you should go back first."

Wen Xingluo looked at her, suspecting that she was going to tell her mother about the rebellion.

She sat there without moving. "I want to listen."

"You want to hear everything!" Wen Yueyin said impatiently, "You know I'm going to help my three brothers get on the right track, so you want to eavesdrop on my specific plans so you can take all the credit for it, right?! I'm telling you, no way!"

Wen Xingluo: “…”

She had no interest in Wen Yueyin's "broad road"!

Wei Si suddenly patted the back of her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Wen Xingluo hesitated for a moment before retreating.

Wen Yueyin dismissed her attendants and lowered her voice excitedly, "Mother, we Wei people have a deep blood feud with the rulers of the Great Zhou. I won't be able to sleep or eat until this hatred is avenged! You are actually an undercover agent staying by Xie Zhe's side, right? I have it all planned out. When you sleep with Xie Zhe at night, you can stab him to death with a hairpin! Then we can forge a will and arrange for my eldest brother to inherit the throne!"

Wei Si looked at her hesitantly.

She didn't expect that even Wen Yueyin knew about the restoration of the country.

Was it Pei Lin who recruited her to join the gang?

still……

Another test of her by Xie Zhe?

She remained calm and said, "I don't understand what you are saying. I have never thought about restoring my country."

"Mother, how could you be so hopeless? Last night, I dreamed that we still have 50,000 old subordinates in Jiangnan. They are the capital for our resurgence! If you refuse to assassinate me, then let my three brothers join forces with 50,000 troops in the capital to seize the throne in one fell swoop! Then, my eldest brother will be the emperor, and you will be the empress dowager!"

A look of surprise and suspicion flashed across Wei Si's eyes.

Since she even knew about the 50,000 soldiers and horses, Wen Yueyin must not have been sent by Xie Zhe to test her.

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses...

Wei Si secretly clenched her hands.

When she and Xie Zhe went south, she sent two eunuchs who were loyal to the Wei State to ride to the south of the Yangtze River at full speed in advance.

According to their report, the princes in the south of the Yangtze River were independent of each other and did not have 50,000 old subordinates.

The information Gao Yang received was most likely false.

The State of Wei was in ruins, the grass and trees were withered, there were no soldiers or old ministers left.

Only Gao Yang, Pei Lin and others were left - hundreds of survivors who had been trapped in the palace like caged birds and served as slaves since birth.

However, these remnants who were loyal to the Wei State were unable to give birth to offspring.

The bloodline of the Wei State was completely cut off.

His nails dug deep into the palm of his hand, squeezing the tender flesh until it was bloody.

Wei Si suppressed the pain in her heart and looked at Wen Yueyin with a smile, "Yueyin is truly remarkable. You have such a broad mind. Just go and do what you want. Who knows, maybe your elder brother can really become the emperor."

Wen Yueyin was immediately greatly encouraged and left the bedroom happily.

On the other side, Wen Xingluo had already returned to the bedroom.

As soon as she sat down, a voice suddenly came from behind her:

"I brought you peach blossom cakes."

Wen Xingluo was startled and quickly looked back. Xie Guanlan had come over and was putting a bag of pastries on the table.

She touched her chest and said, "Next time you come, can you go through the main entrance?"

Xie Guanlan sat down beside her, opened the cake, picked up a piece and fed it to her mouth, "The imperial examination results are out. Xie Zhe plans to go hunting in the royal hunting grounds of Ziyun Mountain with all the officials and the newly graduated Jinshi in seven days."

The peach blossom pastry melts in your mouth.

Wen Xingluo swallowed it and guessed, "He wants to attack you. The mountains and forests are dangerous and prone to ambushes. If I were you, I would refuse immediately."

Xie Guanlan wiped the crumbs from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. "According to the information I received, he wants to arrange marriages for you with several princesses in the palace during this hunting trip. I have to go."

Wen Xingluo was stunned.

Xie Guanlan took a sip of hot tea.

He fixed his gaze on her face again, as if expecting something.
