General Su was a little puzzled as he didn't get a reply from Yuwen Ran for a long time.
Could it be possible that Yuwen Ran would turn against him for a woman?
Just for Gu Yanyue?
I sent troops to help him defend this great country. He wouldn't be so disrespectful to me, right?
General Su felt that Yuwen Ran was absolutely a rational person and acted cautiously. After a long silence, he said, "Why is the emperor so slow to speak? Is there something else wrong?"
When Yuwen Ran came to his senses, the ministers thought he was weighing the importance of Gu Yanyue and General Su.
However, the only person who weighed heavy on Yu Wenran's heart was Gu Yanyue, so he didn't need to consider it at all.
If he were asked to choose between Gu Yanyue and General Su, he would decisively choose Gu Yanyue!
Even if he broke his promise or lost General Su's trust, he would never let Gu Yanyue suffer again.
What's more, General Su was not really sincere in his willingness to send troops to help him, but only did it for the sake of the pregnant Concubine Su.
Even if he did not agree to this unreasonable condition, General Su would still send troops.
"I will not abolish the queen's position. Gu Yanyue will always be my queen." Yu Wenran said with a serious face, and his tone revealed the firmness of his decision.
General Su was stunned when he heard this. He had never imagined that Yuwen Ran would actually turn against him for a woman. He was a hero who had defended this country! How could a woman be compared to this country?
Even though General Su didn't believe that this was Yuwen Ran's decision, between the country and the beauty, he did choose the woman.
"Your Majesty? Are you really going to break your promise?"
Facing General Su's question, Yuwen Ran didn't hesitate at all. With a firm look in his eyes, he replied, "My mind is made up and will not change. Besides, General Su sent troops only to protect Concubine Su. She is pregnant and has difficulty moving around in this deep palace. General Su only sent troops out of personal feelings, not to protect me."
Yuwen Ran spoke coldly word by word, implying that if General Su had not been for Concubine Su, he would not have sent troops at all, and he would not care about the fall of the country, which meant that he, Yuwen Ran, was not taken seriously.
But General Su didn't care about the sarcasm behind this. As long as his sister was fine, he, as a brother, would be satisfied.
"But Your Majesty, even if I sent troops for my sister, you still broke your promise for a woman. Could it be that this great country is not as important as a woman in your eyes?" General Su raised the corner of his mouth and looked up at Yuwen Ran, his eyes full of provocation.
"No need to say more. Gu Yanyue is my queen. She has been with me all the way and has endured so much hardship. I have seen it all. How could I easily depose her?" Yuwen Ran held his forehead, feeling very annoyed. He no longer wanted to argue with General Su: "I have made up my mind. I am withdrawing from court."
"I never thought that the emperor, who is so high and mighty, would go back on his word. It's really disappointing!" General Su said this and left the court.
Yu Wenran felt physically and mentally exhausted. If he really had to choose between Jiang Shan and Gu Yanyue, he would choose Gu Yanyue.
But he also knew that this choice would make Gu Yanyue hate him.
Gu Yanyue, this silly woman, always wanted to bear the burden alone. Not only did she suffer by herself, but she also didn't want anyone to feel sorry for her...
When Yu Wenran thought of all the suffering Gu Yanyue had endured in the past, his heart ached and he felt so sorry for her. So from now on, he would protect her even better and not let her suffer any grievances again.
…
Fengqi Palace.
"What? General Su wants you to depose me as queen and make Concubine Su the queen? The point is... you didn't agree!?"
After hearing what Yuwen Ran said, Gu Yanyue was a little shocked. He actually turned against General Su for a woman.
"Ayue, I won't let you suffer." Yuwen Ran said firmly, thinking that she would be very happy, but after being shocked, she kept frowning and looked sad.
"But you broke your promise, not just to General Su, but to me as well." Gu Yanyue's face showed no good emotions, and she looked particularly angry: "I said before, in this country, if I have to make sacrifices, I am willing to make them. It's my own choice. You turned against General Su just for a woman. What's the difference between you and a tyrant emperor? Since ancient times, beautiful women have always been the source of disasters. I guess it's all because of people like you. You don't understand the overall situation. It's really stupid!"
Yuwen Ran's choice touched Gu Yanyue deeply, but state affairs were no joke. How could Gu Yanyue's life be compared to the hundreds of thousands of people in the country? She didn't want to become a woman like Bao Si, who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Right now, he was only willing to let Yuwen Ran dethrone Gu Yanyue as empress. If he really had to choose between the throne and the beauty, wouldn't Yuwen Ran become a tyrant? Gu Yanyue not only failed to help him, but became his weakness!
Gu Yanyue was determined not to let this happen. Between love and national affairs, national affairs should be put first!
"If you make Concubine Su the queen, then General Su will submit to you. You know his military strength. This time, the annihilation of the Gu family depends entirely on him. How can you turn against General Su?" Gu Yanyue was so angry that she was afraid that she would be angered to death by Yuwen Ran.
"Ayue, you..." Yuwen Ran frowned. In his heart, Gu Yanyue was so precious, but Gu Yanyue herself thought of herself as just a tool, a tool to protect Yuwen Ran and secure his throne...
Yuwen Ran was a little angry: "That's enough! You are my queen, and you will always be. I will never depose you! Even if you want to call me stupid, so what? I don't want to lose you or my country, but I just want you to be happy. Why don't you understand me?"
As Yu Wenran spoke, his brows furrowed into an eight-shaped frown. He looked very aggrieved, like a wounded little rabbit, crying bitterly...
Gu Yanyue was a little shocked. Seeing Yu Wenran's reaction, she felt that she had really become his weak spot.
She quickly turned her head away, afraid that Yuwen Ran would see the tears in her eyes, so she pretended to be indifferent, not even looking at him, and said coldly: "Go away, I don't want to see you now."
Yuwen Ran stood there in a daze for a long time, looking at her determined back. She still refused to turn around and look at him, so he stopped forcing her. He was very disappointed. "Okay, but I want to tell you, I have both you and the country, but I will rely on my own strength to keep it. My queen is not a tool!"
