Xie Wanyun remembered that when he was young, he would occasionally see his father standing quietly on the high city wall of Blue Moon Pass, his eyes always looking into the distance, but his eyes were empty and blank.
Perhaps at that time, my father had already had a premonition in his heart. But he had no way out and no choice.
Tragic and brutal, this is a drama of life that is destined to end in tragedy.
This is also the fate of powerful officials and generals in all dynasties.
Xie Wanyun's heart was bleeding and the pain was like a raging fire.
"Mingmian, if time goes back five years, would you still save him?" Yan Suizhi felt her heartache. His heart was bleeding as well.
Xie Wanyun bit her lips tightly with her teeth, and a trace of red dripped from the corner of her lips.
"Will it?" she asked herself.
But there are no ifs in this world.
If she doesn't save him, he will die in the bear's mouth. She will get her revenge, but the dead person still can't come back. The country may fall into chaos.
The crown prince has just been appointed, and his foundation is not yet stable. He still needs the help of the queen's mother's family. By then, the power of the foreign relatives will surely be monopolized.
The enthronement of a new ruler will usher in another wave of power reshuffles, and who knows how many more lives will be lost. The nation's growing power will be destroyed by power games and factional struggles.
The Queen's brother is a general of the first rank, but he is ambitious but incompetent, and is fond of showing off his achievements. If he starts a war against Mobei, it will surely drag the country into eternal disaster.
Once again, there was devastation and corpses were everywhere.
So, no matter what she chooses, it will be wrong.
Yan Suizhi used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her hand and held her hand tightly.
Xie Wanyun nodded. "Yes, I will save him again. I will save the emperor, not him."
Yan Suizhi gently embraced her in his arms.
"Yan Suizhi, do you hate Huang Yanjing? He is your teacher, but he framed you like this." Xie Wanyun asked.
"Factional struggles have always been like this. Even fathers, sons and brothers kill each other, let alone teachers and students. I'm just a little unwilling to accept this. If I had made preparations earlier, I wouldn't have surrendered. I can only blame myself for being too bookish." Yan Suizhi said calmly.
"I must seek justice for the Xie family."
Xie Wanyun nodded. "We have worked so hard for so long and have overcome crisis after crisis. I believe that one day the truth will be revealed to the world."
As the two were talking, Qingshu suddenly came in to report. "My lord, my lady, the Prime Minister Huang Yanjing has sent a letter, asking you to go to his residence. He has something important to tell you."
They were both stunned. Huang Yanjing? What was he doing? Why was he looking for Xie Wanyun instead of Yan Suizhi?
Yan Suizhi had just said he didn't hate Huang Yanjing, but now his face was filled with anger. He said coldly, "No!"
Qingshu agreed and left, but came back in less than a moment, looking embarrassed.
"The person who came said that Elder Huang has something important to tell me, something that can solve the mystery that Madam Xie has been trying to solve for many years."
Yan Suizhi was really angry now, "Qingshu! Whose servant are you? Do you listen to me or him?"
Qingshu was so scared that he fell to his knees and didn't dare to say anything.
Xie Wanyun stood up and said, "Suizhi, since he said so, I will go see him. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Maybe he really has a secret to tell me."
Just at this moment, the imperial physician arranged by the empress dowager also arrived, waiting to take his pulse and prescribe medicine for him so that he could go back and report to the empress dowager.
Yan Suizhi was helpless and could only say, "I knew I couldn't stop you. Let Jin Bai go with you, otherwise I won't be at ease. This man is very cunning and I'm afraid he'll play some tricks again."
Xie Wanyun found his nervous expression somewhat amusing. Not wanting to go against his wishes, she called Jin Bai to go with her.
Soon they arrived at Huang Yanjing's residence and followed the visitor all the way to the inner hall. Huang Yanjing had not married for many years, so there was no mistress at home, only an old nanny who had been taking care of him for many years.
Xie Wanyun had previously found it strange that Huang Yanjing was alone, without even a concubine. It wasn't until she learned about his relationship with the eldest princess, Li Chenfeng, that she finally understood.
It's not that he doesn't want to marry, it's that he doesn't dare! Everyone in the court knows how strong and overbearing Li Chenfeng is. How could such a man allow other women to be around him?
So, there is a price to pay for reaching a higher level. Behind power are all shame and sin.
