Chapter 2428 It would be nice if she was a concubine
This time, Wei did not speak immediately.
A gleam flashed in her eyes, and she said, "What's going on between you and the Emperor of Yan?"
“…”
Xue Yun's face was pale, his lips were moving, and he was completely unable to speak.
Seeing that she hadn't made any movement for a long time, Wei came over impatiently, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and said, "Tell me quickly, how did you get to know the Emperor of Yan?"
“…”
"When did you two meet?"
“…”
"How did you become an official in the palace? Now, what status will be given to you?"
“…”
"what is going on?"
Xue Yun's head was still buzzing.
Wei's string of questions was like a hammer hitting her head, leaving her even more bewildered. After a long moment, she slowly looked at her anxious mother and said in a bewildered tone, "The Emperor... The Emperor has been to our house."
"What?"
Wei frowned, thought about it again, and suddenly remembered something.
"Is that the man who brought a pregnant woman to our house and offered you a huge sum of money to see a doctor?"
"……yes."
Wei took a deep breath.
After a moment of silence, he said softly, "No wonder, he's different from ordinary people."
She thought for a moment, then continued, "Then, when did you know he was the emperor? And when did he bring you here?"
Xue Yun's face turned pale as he told Wei about how she left the Xue family, how she met Zhu Feng on the road, and a series of events that happened afterwards, until now, when she entered the palace and became an imperial physician.
Only the fact that she detoxified the emperor and the imperial concubine made things difficult for her were erased.
After hearing this, Wei fell silent.
After Xue Yun finished speaking, he also fell silent.
She slowly walked to a chair nearby and sat down, grabbing the armrests with both hands and twisting them hard, as if she was in a mess at the moment.
She really admired Zhu Feng and loved him deeply in her heart.
But all this happened too suddenly.
Perhaps everyone wants to be close to the one they love, but for some reason, when she heard the news that the emperor was going to give her a status, she wanted to escape instead.
When she thought about this, she felt like a lunatic.
Why? Don't I like him?
There is an opportunity to get close to him and stay by his side, so why do I want to escape?
Could it be that it was because the imperial concubine was making things difficult for him?
With her own personality, it is absolutely impossible for her to survive in a place like the harem. Although she has only been working in the Imperial Hospital these days, she has seen a lot of intrigues and deceptions in the harem.
Even Princess Xinping almost lost her life due to someone's conspiracy.
How many days can I live like this?
But--
She knew in her heart that it wasn't because of this.
The intrigues in the harem and the methods used by the imperial concubine were not obstacles that prevented her from getting close to the person she loved. The real reason she wanted to escape was—
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath.
He stood up and said to Wei: "Mother, you are going to take me away tomorrow, right?"
“…”
This time, Wei frowned.
She looked at her daughter's pale face and dazed eyes, and said in an uncertain tone, "Are you willing to leave?"
Xue Yun nodded and said, "Let's go, let's talk first."
“…”
"But I, I don't want to get married. I can't kill anyone else."
Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at his daughter, and fell silent.
Xue Yun, on the other hand, became a little anxious. She walked up to Wei and said anxiously, "No matter what, let's just go first, okay?"
“…”
"Mother, I absolutely cannot stay."
“…”
Wei looked up at her, and after a long while, he suddenly said slowly: "Why not?"
“……!”
Xue Yun was also stunned by her question.
But he immediately said: "If that's the case, my identity will be exposed."
“…”
"Aren't the uncles and aunts at home making a scene?"
Wei said calmly, "This place is a thousand miles away from Bailong City. I didn't even know that you knew the emperor and became a royal physician. How could they possibly know anything?"
"Can--"
"Besides,"
Wei said slowly: "What are you going back for?"
“…”
"Since you don't want to marry, your identity will be exposed sooner or later when you return. By then, you won't be able to keep this family business. It would be better for you to stay here and become an imperial physician, or—"
She looked at Xue Yun and said, "The emperor will give you a title."
Xue Yun gasped.
She never thought that her mother would say that.
She said in disbelief, "Mother, don't you want to keep this family business left by father?"
"Of course I do."
"Then why don't you want to leave?"
"Because I changed my mind."
Wei said, "Although we are wealthy and powerful in Bailong City, it is only a small city after all. Our business dealings are limited to a few teams. Besides, our medicinal herbs are all from the Western Regions, and merchants from the West may not like them."
“…”
"But, if we can move our family to Yan Country."
At this point, Wei's eyes lit up: "Then we can do business with so many people."
“…”
"How can that be compared to what we have in White Dragon City?"
"Can--"
"Besides, let's keep the family business," she smiled at Xue Yun and said, "The Emperor of Yan is going to give you a title. I'm afraid the title is not low. It would be great if you could be a concubine."
“…”
"If you really marry into the Yan Kingdom's royal family, who would dare to covet our family business?"
“…”
"Please ask the Emperor to issue an edict allowing me to adopt a child from my brother. Wouldn't that make everything possible?"
He said, looking at her with a smile: "I have fulfilled your wish. I don't have to force you to marry, and I don't have to kill anyone."
“…”
“Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
Just now, when Xue Yun heard what Eunuch Tu said, he felt cold all over.
Now, there was no heat left in her body.
She looked at her mother, her whole body trembling, and said slowly in a choked voice, "Mother, in your eyes, I'm just a tool to protect the family business. As long as I can protect the family business, you can let me marry, you can let me get married, you can let me do anything. Is that right?"
“…”
Wei glanced at her.
The despair in her daughter's eyes also made her heart ache.
But she still said calmly: "Who told you not to be a son? You are a daughter, and I will let you do what a daughter should do. Marry someone, especially marry the emperor, isn't it good?"
