Chapter 233 Don’t Say This Casually

“Cough cough cough…”

Yun Wanyao was choked by her saliva and started coughing violently. She looked embarrassed and flustered, with a blank look in her eyes.

Such a big reaction was completely beyond Yun Wanning's expectations. His dark eyes widened and stared at her in a daze.

[Uh, sister, don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually. ]

"No, I'm not nervous."

Yun Wanyao stopped coughing and replied randomly, but her eyes were darting around and she didn't even look at her. It was unclear whether she felt guilty or something.

Yun Wanning tilted her head and looked at her quietly for a moment, a hint of understanding flashing across her eyes.

[It seems that my sister likes the emperor, right? ]

"That's not the case, little sister, you can't say that casually..."

Hearing her words, Yun Wanyao immediately turned her head and looked at her in panic and nervousness. She subconsciously wanted to cover her mouth with her hand, but soon realized that she couldn't speak at all.

Those are just the voices in your heart, so covering your mouth won't do any good.

Yun Wanyao withdrew her hand and added awkwardly, "Uh, don't let your imagination run wild."

Yun Wanning: “…”

What is that like?

Meeting Yun Wanning's curious eyes, Yun Wanyao gradually calmed down.

She sighed and said with a tangled expression, "To be honest, I don't know whether I like the emperor or not..."

When she was young, she really liked the Crown Prince.

Even though he always had a cold face and looked like he didn't want anyone to come near him, making everyone in the East Palace afraid of him, but she never found him scary.

But then, that happened.

That incident cast a huge shadow on her young mind. It was the first time she truly witnessed how terrifying he was and realized that if he wanted to, he could take her life at any time.

From then on, his image in her mind was completely overturned. She began to avoid him and felt only fear of him in her heart.

Now, suddenly knowing that he liked her, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel any ripples at all, but she didn't seem to have any other emotions either.

【ah????】

Yun Wanning looked at her in surprise, having never expected such an answer.

After a moment, she continued to ask.

[Then, the emperor seems to want my sister to enter the palace. What do you think? ]

"I agree, but I want to hear my little sister's opinion. Do you think I should enter the palace?"

When saying this, Yun Wanyao couldn't help feeling guilty.

She had already promised the emperor, and she really didn't understand why she was asking her younger sister's opinion now. Could it be that she wanted to go back on her word? Yun Wanyao narrowed her eyes, feeling very confused.

【Well……】

Yun Wanning felt a little embarrassed. It would be fine if he asked her about other things, but she didn't know much about matters of the heart.

She had been single in both of her lives, a true single person. How could she have the right to comment on such matters? However, since her sister had already made the decision, she still came to ask her, probably because she wanted a sense of security.

Yun Wanning quickly came up with an idea and reached out to hold her hand.

[Since you are not sure whether you like the emperor or not, why did you agree to enter the palace? You must have your own considerations, right? ]

Yun Wanyao nodded and said, "I do have some considerations."

"I've thought a lot about it. Some of what Yun Wanye said actually makes sense. The emperor is far superior to other men in the capital in terms of both appearance and ability. He is a good candidate for a husband."

"His only shortcoming is that as an emperor, he is destined to have three palaces and six courtyards in the future. With too many women in the harem, the struggle will be uncontrollably fierce."

"But in this capital, how many men have clean backyards?"

"Being fickle and having affairs with other women is a common problem for most men in the world."

"Not to mention the high officials, even some ordinary people, after getting married, still linger in the red-light districts and covet other women."

"If their money and status did not allow them to do so, they would like to marry all the women."

"A man's change of heart is as easy as the change of the weather."

"Over the years, I have seen many couples who had made vows to each other break up, and many couples who became unhappy couples. So, love is the most unreliable thing in the world."

"Compared to love, responsibility and self-control are much more reliable..."

Just like Dad, he has been the same to Mom for so many years, is it really all because of love? No, she felt that Dad definitely loved Mom, but no matter how deep the love was, it couldn't last so long. How could deep love beat the novelty?

How could a woman be more attractive to men than young and lively women?

The reason why Dad didn't change his mind was more because he had a strong sense of responsibility and a commitment to keeping his promises. Over the years, he has been trying hard every day to uphold the promise he made to Mom.

In addition, Dad has strong self-control. Therefore, even though countless women have seduced him over the years, he has always been able to stay true to himself and remain unmoved.

"But what most men lack most is a sense of responsibility and self-control. Some men who have a strong sense of responsibility have too many responsibilities on their shoulders and are easily overwhelmed, which turns out to be a disadvantage."

"So, I think there are almost no perfect good people in this world. Even if there are, you can't tell. After all, a true good person wouldn't stick these two words on his head."

"I don't have anyone I really like or want to be with, and marrying anyone involves risks."

"In that case, why not pick someone who has superior conditions? At least I can actually enjoy his superior conditions."

For example, being good-looking, being rich and powerful, etc.

All men in the world love beauty, so why can't she desire the emperor's beauty?

Although the emperor is scary, he is really handsome.

"When he changes his mind, I will break up with him. After the divorce, no one will dare to marry me again, and I can have peace and quiet."

[Wow, I never thought that my sister, at such a young age, could see things so clearly.]

Yun Wanning always thought that although Yun Wanyao was beautiful, she was silly, looked easy to deceive, and didn't look very smart. She was a complete naive person.

But I didn't expect that she was only fifteen years old, the beautiful age when a girl is in love and longing for love, but she could see the nature of men so thoroughly and analyze it so rationally.

This really surprised her.

"So young? Little sister, it's really weird to hear this word coming out of your mouth."

Who is so young? A baby, and she is so young that she is about to reach the age of marriage.

The corners of Yun Wanyao's mouth twitched, and she looked at the baby on the bed with a strange expression.

[Hehe, of course not compared to me now. In my previous life, I was still in junior high school at the age of fifteen, so I was very young.]

[Sister, you said before that if the emperor changes his mind, we will break up. What do you mean? ]

[The emperor changed his mind. Didn't he take a concubine and ignore you? How could he break up with you? 】

【Are you thinking too simply? 】

"Ah, this, he promised me that if I change my mind, he would let me leave the palace, give me a mansion, and make me a female marquis."

With her own mansion, she won't have to worry about living under someone else's roof after her parents pass away.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Although her eldest brother treated her well, no one knew whether her future sister-in-law could tolerate her being kicked out of the palace. Even if she could, she would be the source of a lot of gossip among her brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews after being divorced.

She can't drag down her brother and sister-in-law.

Therefore, being an independent woman is the best outcome for her.

[A man's mouth is a lie, and his words are not reliable, my sister.]

"It's not just empty talk. I asked him to write me a divorce decree before I entered the palace. When he changes his mind, the decree will take effect."

Speaking of this matter, Yun Wanyao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, secretly delighted with her own intelligence.

Hearing this, Yun Wanning raised her eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

[Sister, you are so thoughtful. I never thought that you would have such foresight.]

However, as the emperor is the ruler of a country, it is probably not feasible for the emperor to control him with just an imperial edict. But it doesn't matter. Plans cannot keep up with changes. Things haven't reached that point yet. It's useless to think too much.

Who knows, maybe the emperor will really keep his promise.

"These are my thoughts. Do you think there is anything wrong with them? Or do you have any other suggestions?"

Yun Wanyao humbly asked for advice.

She didn’t know why she asked her younger sister’s opinion after making the decision, but now she knows.

My younger sister is wise and powerful, just like a god. My younger sister's views must be correct.

[Sister, I think there is nothing wrong with your idea. You have a very thorough plan and a clear purpose. You know what you want. It is not just a simple impulsiveness. You are not just jumping into it because of love. ]

[You have left yourself enough ways to fall back, but times change, and nothing is absolute.]

[No matter how well you plan, things may change in the future, so don’t worry too much and just follow your heart. ]

[You don't have a man you like, and you don't hate the emperor. It's okay if you want to try with him. As long as you are prepared for the worst and have the courage to bear all the consequences.]

[Of course, what I mean by this is not that the worst thing will definitely happen. ]

"Yeah, I understand. Thank you, little sister."

Yun Wanyao was very happy that her idea was recognized. She hugged the soft little baby with a milky smell and kissed him fiercely.

Yun Wanning couldn't handle such enthusiasm.

[Sister, stop, stop, stop kissing...]

Yun Wanyao stopped and looked at her with a resentful look on her face, "Wow, why don't you give me a kiss? Don't you love me anymore?"

Yun Wanning: “…”

[No, sister, I feel dizzy. I'm not well yet. Uh, I feel so uncomfortable...]

Yun Wan Ning touched her forehead with her small fingers, closed her eyes, and looked very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Yun Wanyao's expression changed and she looked at her nervously.

"Ah, you still feel uncomfortable? What should I do? Do you want me to call the court doctor?"

[No need, sister. The court doctor can't solve my problem. Is there anything else, sister? If not, I'll just rest for a while. ]

"That's all, that's all. Little sister, please have a good rest."

The heavy stone in her heart fell to the ground. Yun Wanyao felt sleepy and lay down beside Yun Wanning. She soon fell into a deep sleep.

After she fell asleep, Yun Wanning opened her eyes and turned her head to look at her peaceful sleeping face.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Mrs. Yun's slightly anxious voice.

"Yao'er, are you up? Open the door quickly so I can see Ningning."

【Hey, it's my mother. 】

[Sister, wake up quickly, mom is here to find me. ]

Yun Wanning stretched out her hand and used all her strength to push Yun Wanyao.

However, she was too weak and Yun Wanyao was sleeping too deeply, so she didn't react at all.

[Hey, sister, please wake up. I can't use my mental power anymore and can't tell mom that I'm safe. Please let mom take a look at me before you go back to sleep.]

[If she can't see me, my mother will be worried. ]

However, no matter how hard she screamed in her heart, Yun Wanyao always slept peacefully.

[Looking at my sister like this, it seems that the voice in my heart will not become louder because of my thoughts. No matter how I shout, it will not affect the pitch of the voice. ]

[Mom, I tried hard, but I couldn't wake my sister up. You should figure out a way yourself.]

There was a creaking sound.

Yun Wanning had just calmed down when the window was suddenly pushed open and a figure tiptoed in.
