Chapter 438: Confrontation (Part 2)
"Princess." Yuan Ziyou looked at Princess Linyang's hesitant expression and understood after a moment's thought. So he said, "You don't need to persuade me. What I did today, even if I could do it again, I would not change."
After saying this, he glanced coldly at Emperor Wen of Qi and said coldly, "My father has guarded the border for the Dali Dynasty for twenty years, devoting himself to his loyalty. He doesn't ask for much grace, but at least he should be kept safe. But what is the reality? He received an imperial decree to confiscate our property. The emperor is trying to sentence my Yuan family to death without any clear reason, and wants to wipe out my entire family. Do you expect my Yuan family to accept it without resistance?"
These words made Princess Linyang and the Queen Mother feel extremely guilty, and even Queen Xuan didn't dare to say anything.
only……
"Second Miss Yuan," Xuanyuan Che frowned and said, "That's wrong. His Majesty is not one who doesn't know right from wrong. I believe that His Majesty would never convict the Yuan family without reason. Perhaps Second Miss Yuan and General Yuan could think about whether they have indeed done something wrong and angered His Majesty, thus bringing disaster upon themselves."
At these words, Princess Linyang frowned. Was the prince truly foolish, or was he just pretending? When was this happening? Instead of trying to appease them, he was actually adding fuel to the fire. By saying this, wasn't he clearly implying that the Yuan family was guilty?
"Che'er." The Queen Mother was furious at Xuanyuan Che's words. Just as she was about to say something else, she heard Huo Xifei sneer and say, "Prince, are you saying that the Yuan family is guilty?"
Xuanyuan Che was stunned for a moment, dissatisfied with Huo Xifei's mocking tone, and frowned, "Why did Master Huo get involved in this matter?"
"The prince is meddling too much." Huo Xifei said in a light tone. He had originally thought that Xuanyuan Che was kind-hearted and would be a good emperor in the future, but now it seems that he was really wrong.
Yes, being born in an imperial family, how can one be truly kind-hearted?
Who wouldn't want to sit in that seat? Who wouldn't want to sit there as soon as possible?
Huo Xifei also vaguely guessed some of Xuanyuan Che's real intentions, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Want to kill someone with a borrowed knife to achieve his own ulterior motives?
dream!
"You..." Xuanyuan Che was choked by Huo Xifei's words, but he could not act rashly. No matter what, even if Emperor Wen of Qi died in this incident, at least on the surface, it could not be because he disregarded Emperor Wen of Qi's safety and launched a forced attack.
On the contrary, he wanted everyone to know that he was trying his best to protect Emperor Wen of Qi's safety.
Yuan Ziyou was impatient to argue with Xuanyuan Che, so he held Emperor Wen of Qi hostage and said to Xuanyuan Che in a cold voice, "Get out of the way."
"You..." Xuanyuan Che was so angry at Yuan Ziyu's attitude that his face turned pale: "Yuan Ziyu, don't go too far."
"I've gone too far today. What can you do to me?" Yuan Ziyu said with a sneer.
Xuanyuan Che was about to speak again when he heard the Queen Mother say, "Che'er, let them leave."
"Grandmother." Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Che quickly turned to look at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother ignored Xuanyuan Che and only looked at Yuan Ziyu: "Girl of the Yuan family, I will not persuade you to leave today, but can you promise me, an old woman, at least not to harm his life? Just treat me as an ordinary mother and pity my love for my son?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Ziyu earnestly.
The Queen Mother's words shocked everyone. Even Emperor Wen of Qi, who had been silent the entire time, was moved and said, "Mother..."
Yuan Ziyou pursed her lips and looked at the Queen Mother. After a long pause, she said, "Queen Mother, I know you are kind-hearted, and I want to fulfill your motherly wishes. However, the lives of hundreds of people from both the Yuan and Huo families hang in my hands. For their sake, I have no choice but to put Your Majesty in a difficult position. As for whether Your Majesty can survive, it all depends on Your Highness the Crown Prince."
After hearing Yuan Ziyu's words, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"The girl from the Yuan family..."
Before the Queen Mother could say anything else, Yuan Ziyou continued, "Queen Mother, you must consider your son, but I must also consider the lives of the hundreds of people from the Yuan and Huo families. I promise you that as long as these hundreds of people from the Yuan and Huo families are safe, I will definitely protect His Majesty's life."
As for the extent of preservation, that's up to her.
"Okay!" The Queen Mother also knew that this was the maximum extent of Yuan Ziyu's concession, so she nodded and looked at Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che had no choice but to let everyone make way. When Yuan Ziyu and the other three passed by, he said to Yuan Qifeng and Huo Xifei with a hint of sarcasm: "General Yuan, Master Huo, you two let a woman make all the decisions. You really are good at avoiding trouble."
Huo Xifei sneered, "I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ever experience this blessing."
"Hmph." Xuanyuan Che snorted coldly.
Yuan Ziyou sneered and looked at Xuanyuan Che: "Your Highness, I hope no one will disturb us until the people in the Yuan and Huo mansions are safe. Otherwise, His Majesty may be injured or even lose his life. After that, the news that Your Highness is plotting to kill His Majesty in order to ascend the throne will spread far and wide."
"You..." Xuanyuan Che glared at Yuan Ziyu: "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not." Yuan Ziyou smiled. "I am just reminding Your Highness to prevent you from getting anxious. It would be bad if something happened. I also have good intentions."
Good intentions as hell!
Xuanyuan Che was almost going crazy. How could these three people defeat so many guards?
These guards are absolutely useless, otherwise they wouldn't have put him in such an embarrassing situation.
"Don't worry." Xuanyuan Che gritted his teeth and said, "I will take care of my father's safety."
"That's good."
Just as Yuan Ziyou and the others were about to leave, Princess Linyang couldn't help but call out again, "Sister Yuan."
Xuanyuan Che said angrily: "Linyang, what kind of sister is she to you?"
When Yuan Ziyu heard the voice of Princess Linyang, she turned around and looked at her, feeling infinite emotion in her heart. She never thought that one day she would stand against Princess Linyang.
It is undeniable that Princess Linyang is really good to her.
In the end, she let down this friendship.
Looking at Princess Linyang with guilt, Yuan Ziyou sighed softly, "I will always remember your protection of me. Take care, Princess."
After saying this, he took Emperor Wen of Qi and walked out of the palace without looking back.
Looking at Yuan Ziyu's back getting farther and farther away, Princess Linyang couldn't help but tear up.
She knew that from today on, she and Yuan Ziyu were destined to no longer be friends.
