How can you fall hard if you don't climb high?
"Please resign on behalf of my father-in-law, saying that my wife is seriously ill and I need to take care of her and have no interest in government affairs."
Su Yan was stunned. King Xuan was at the peak of his power, and he actually wanted to resign?!
Is he afraid that he won't die fast enough?
"It's hard for me to believe you still have hope of turning things around."
"Then it's still not too late for you to surrender to King Xuan."
Su Yan: “…”
Xie Xianyu threw him another letter: "Check everyone on this list."
Su Yan opened it and was stunned: "Aren't these all your people?"
Xie Xianyu's brows were thick with anger. "It's impossible for King Xuan to suddenly realize that I've betrayed him. There must be someone behind this."
To fight against foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. Let him find out who it is and then we will chop him into pieces piece by piece.
Su Yan's face changed before he reacted.
"Give me the results within three days."
"T!"
Xie Xianyu didn't say anything else and just walked away.
Su Yan looked at the list carefully again, and suddenly his pupils shrank. He even checked his father?
Xie Xianyu returned to his bedroom and Cuizhu was feeding Wanruo medicine.
He took the medicine bowl and said, "I'll do it."
Cuizhu tactfully withdrew from the room.
"Why is Lord Su here?" she asked.
"A little thing."
He scooped a spoonful of medicine and was about to feed it to her when he suddenly remembered something, took it back, blew it clumsily to cool it down, and then put it to her lips.
Wanruo frowned and took a sip.
"Is it bitter?" he asked softly.
Wanruo was originally feeling miserable, but was frightened by his gentle look.
“A little.”
"I'll give you some candy after you finish this bowl of medicine."
She asked again, "Why didn't you attend the morning court today?"
"I'm on sick leave, taking care of you at home."
Her eyes paused slightly: "Did you promise the Queen something?"
He said nothing, but scooped another spoonful of medicine and put it to her lips: "Drink the medicine first."
Wanruo's mind began to form a vague guess, and her eyes became more panicked: "You gave up your power?"
He ruffled her hair: "Wanwan, don't think too much."
She froze there, almost in disbelief. In order to save her, he gave up the power that was within his grasp?
He is Xie Xianyu, how could he do such a stupid thing?
Her throat suddenly felt dry, and her already weak voice became even hoarse: "If King Xuan gains power, you will end up in a terrible situation."
His voice was calm: "So what?"
Wanruo was stuck there and suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
She had long been accustomed to being abandoned. When she was in Fengyi Palace, she knew she would not survive, and she had never had any expectations.
But he took her home.
Her nose felt sore, and she avoided his eyes, her voice muffled: "Will you regret it?"
He asked her, "Will you regret it?"
"What?"
His dark eyes locked onto her, a hint of coldness lingering in them: "If you had known I would end up like this, would you have regretted not running further away with Lin Han?"
