Chapter 231 He Wants to Live Well
"So what?"
Somon shrugged, not feeling anything wrong. "I believe you won't do anything to let me down."
To betray herself is tantamount to betraying the Northwest, the place where she was born and raised.
Yun Ya would never be so stupid as to fall in love with a great prince like Prince Qi.
"Is that all?" Yun Ya looked at the person in front of her and suddenly felt a little dazed.
I don't know since when, Somon seemed like a different person.
Selfish and strong.
He once swore in front of Abu Ana that he would marry her, but since the death of the old Khan, he had been determined to swallow the fat piece of meat of Daqi, and kept postponing his marriage. He even shamelessly followed her to Qi this time.
"First you wanted a marriage, and now you're allowing me to live and eat with the men of Daqi. What are you really thinking?" Yun Ya was on the verge of collapse, like a madman, demanding an explanation from him. "Someng, you swore by the moon before, telling my Abu that you would never betray me in this life. What are you doing now?"
"Because of your two short words, I, Yun Ya, have followed you wholeheartedly. Give me a definite answer today, will you marry me?"
Somon looked at her quietly, ignoring her hysteria. After a long silence, he whispered, "Yun Ya, we must put the overall situation first."
"The overall situation... the overall situation is the most important..." Yun Ya smiled bitterly, her heart sank. "Someng, don't regret it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ya rushed out of the door, her nose was sore and she almost cried.
Somon looked at her back, his brows furrowed. He sighed and ordered his subordinates, "Go and close the door."
"Little Khan..." The subordinate hesitated and whispered, "Miss Yunya...shouldn't you go and comfort her?"
"No need." Somon lay back on the bed, his tone calm, "Yun Ya and I don't have any grudges. She is determined to marry me. At most, she is angry with me tonight."
The subordinates did not dare to persuade him anymore and could only close the door in disappointment, blocking out the view from outside.
Yun Ya hid in the corner and saw that the door was closed. The person inside showed no sign of coming out to chase her. Her tears fell into the mud.
She didn't know that she had returned to Pingyang Palace. She only knew that the moonlight that night was so weak that she couldn't even see the road under her feet.
The next morning, there was a loud noise outside that hurt my ears.
"Third Prince, please don't make things difficult for me. These are orders from above."
Yan Mu stood in front of the small kitchen door, glaring coldly at the eunuchs in front of him, "You took away all the meat, poultry, eggs, and vegetables in Pingyang Palace. Someone kindhearted enough to give me food, and you're not ashamed to fight for it, and even bring it up to block me?"
"I want to ask, who in the higher-ups ordered you to starve me to death?"
"This..." The eunuch chuckled, rubbing his hands, his eyes full of calculation, "Your Highness, you have lived in Pingyang Palace for a long time and rarely go out. You can't finish all the dishes you bring. It would be a pity if they go bad. Why don't you give them to me first? I will deliver meals to Pingyang Palace every day from now on."
"You bastards." Yan Mu had been holding back his anger for too long and could no longer hold back. "It's like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog. Even if I'm down and out, I won't be bullied by a bunch of you dogs. If you keep acting like this, aren't you afraid of losing your heads one day?"
"Third Prince, please don't resist stubbornly. Now everyone in the harem must obey the Queen Mother. Concubine Zhe has been sent to the cold palace, and the Lin family has been exiled. Who will care about a prince without support like you?"
"Asshole!"
Before Yan Mu could get angry, the young eunuch who had just spoken rudely trembled all over and his eyes widened.
Yun Ya slowly drew her dagger and watched the eunuch slowly fall to the ground with a cold smile. "The master is always the master. Even if he's down on his luck right now, he'll still be superior to you. Do you think you can become the master by working like a slave for the noble? You're just daydreaming!"
Yan Mu paused, his eyes fell on her, "Yun Ya..."
She was wearing a maid's palace uniform that didn't fit her well, and no one knew who borrowed it from. She still had her hair in a strange pigtail, and her big eyes were squinted sleepily, as if she had just been woken up, but her movements were exceptionally swift and decisive.
“Someone’s dead—”
The young eunuchs screamed and rushed to the door, fearing that they would be the next to be killed.
Yun Ya looked up at Yan Mu who was standing opposite her, and said in an unhappy tone, "Your Highness, you are a prince of a country after all, why do you have to endure their bullying?"
This is the imperial palace, a place with the strictest rules.
"My mother often scolds me for being soft-hearted, like a piece of mud that can't be supported against a wall." Yan Mu half-closed his eyes, his tone full of sadness. "Maybe it's because I'm too easy to talk to on weekdays. Once I lose power, even they dare to come and trample on Pingyang Palace."
"I know I'm weak and can't accomplish anything, but sometimes I'm glad I have such a character." Yan Mu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled. "If it weren't for my incompetent character, I'm afraid the Lin family would not be able to survive."
Yun Ya opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only close her mouth in disappointment and pretend to be mute.
"But you're right. From now on, I should really fight for myself." Yan Mu smiled at her, his voice gentle, "After all, Pingyang Palace is no longer mine."
Yun Ya was stunned and subconsciously looked up, only to meet his smiling eyes.
When the man smiled, the light in his eyes was brighter than any star she had ever seen.
Yun Ya turned her face away in frustration, avoiding his gaze, bent down, grabbed the dead eunuch, and dragged the body out.
Daqi is full of weirdos!
Looking at her back, Yan Mu smiled silently, turned his head to look at the table full of vegetables, meat and eggs in the kitchen, and a sense of melancholy still rose uncontrollably in his heart.
He watched helplessly as his own palace servants were taken away, yet he remained calm and even sought a good way out for the young eunuch who once served him personally. He remained calm when the food in the small kitchen was snatched away, watching with dispassionate eyes as those greedy people scrambled for it, arguing fiercely over a single vegetable.
He had long lost the desire to live. He was a sinner of the Lin family, unfaithful and unfilial, and a betrayer of his relatives and friends. Only by dying to atone for his sins could he alleviate his mother's hatred for him.
But now it’s different. Since my mother sent Yun Ya here, it means she still has her son in her heart.
"I want to live well." Yan Mu lowered her eyelashes, her eyes gradually becoming firm. "Only by living and working hard for my second brother can I fight for more for my mother and the Lin family..."
"Third brother!"
Suddenly there was a sound outside the door. Yan Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Qi rushing in in a hurry.
"Third brother, shouldn't we go now?" Yan Mo stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, her expression anxious. "Didn't my brother say yesterday that he would take Xiao Qi to see someone who could help?"
