Chapter 84: Cruel Emperor vs. Fatal Sister (10)
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jiang has repeatedly provoked the border of our Great Jin, killing countless civilians. How can this be tolerated!" The old ministers of the two dynasties cried blood with every word.
"Your Majesty, please allow the princess to marry a foreign prince!" The gray-haired general knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please allow the princess to marry a foreign prince to keep the peace on the border of the Jin Dynasty forever." The civil official Fang Yuan also knelt in the hall.
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
...
Other ministers knelt one after another.
Zhao Jinyuan sat high on the throne, his eyes calm as water, but the anger in his heart was already choking in his throat.
"The great Jin Dynasty actually needs a weak woman to marry a foreign prince to keep the peace on the border forever. This is a shame for our Great Jin! It is a shame for all the ministers! It is also a shame for the emperor!" He stood up suddenly, raised his arms and shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty..." Some ministers continued to dissuade him.
"My great Jin actually needs to use women to exchange for peace. If it were your family members and children, would you be willing to do so?" His eyes were red, and he wished he could catch these hypocritical ministers and bring them to the palace to force them one by one...
Wei Shiyi is his elder sister, how dare they force her when they know the truth!
"Your Majesty, please calm down..." In the palace, all the ministers prostrated themselves, trembling with fear.
The emperor was furious and millions of people died.
"Eunuch Wu, send someone to the homes of Liu Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, and Fang Aiqing to invite their family members and children. I want to see today whether the three ministers agree that they should go to Jiang State for marriage!"
"Your Majesty... spare my life..."
"Your Majesty..., my little girl is weak and can't travel far..."
"Your Majesty, my family only has this one child, and if she goes, the family will be cut off..."
The three ministers who first asked for permission are now finding various excuses to prevaricate.
"I'm going to marry a foreign prince." The wooden door of the hall suddenly opened, and the sunlight that came in was a bit dazzling. The woman's voice was light.
Zhao Jinyuan squinted slightly and saw the woman standing in front of the hall against the light. She had long hair down to her waist and beautiful eyebrows. It was his elder sister.
Zhao Jinyuan was stunned, a little aggrieved, as if he was still the boy he was before: "Sister."
Wei Shiyi lowered his eyes and repeated: "I'm going to marry a foreign prince."
Zhao Jinyuan was stunned, and his heartbeat stopped. For a moment, he felt as discouraged as a dead person.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wu called softly beside the bed.
Zhao Jinyuan woke up from his dream, sweating all over, and his voice was hoarse, "What time is it now?"
Since Shiyi went to war, he has been worried every day. His dreams are all dark, so dark that he can't see anything, which makes people scared. It was not until yesterday when Shiyi came back that his dreams were colored.
"It's three quarters past midnight." Eunuch Wu answered cautiously, "You had a nightmare again tonight."
Zhao Jinyuan thought of his dream that couldn't be more real, pinched his thigh, felt real pain, and then realized that it was reality.
"Go down." He was sweating and sat on the bed.
"Yes." Although Eunuch Wu was worried about the emperor's body, he cherished his life more.
He was very scared when he thought of the look in the monarch's eyes when he was awakened by him.
Zhao Jinyuan sat quietly, and the moonlight poured down at his feet like water.
In the dream, he was forced by the ministers to let his sister go to marry, and his sister was willing. He hated the weak self in the dream, and hated the ruthless sister.
He must not let this happen.
His sister finally returned safely from the battlefield, how could he bear to let her leave him again.
You can't miss people. Because you can't help seeing each other.
Zhao Jinyuan and his shadow guard quietly slipped out of the palace. He wanted to see his elder sister before the morning court.
"Princess, bear with it." The nanny wrung out the handkerchief and gently pressed it on Shi Yi's bleeding chest. The wrinkles on her face were mixed together because of worry. "The doctor said that it was only an inch away from injuring the heart meridian. How could you be so careless?"
"I'm sorry to worry you, nanny." Shi Yi couldn't bear the pain. His brows were deeply furrowed. His exposed skin was covered with dripping sweat, but there was another kind of temptation of forbearance.
It turned out that when she led the army to rush back to Kyoto overnight yesterday, she was ambushed by the remnants of the Jiang Kingdom and was shot in the chest. She was afraid that Zhao Jinyuan would worry and the people would panic, so she held on all the way and started treatment after returning to the mansion.
"You almost lost your life on this trip." The nanny wiped the wound gently, not daring to look at the scars on her body for a second time, "How are you going to get married in the future?"
"Mammy, I will never get married in this life." Shi Yi smiled and comforted her, "I will accompany you all my life and take care of you in your old age."
"Princess, you are joking. As a woman who doesn't get married, what kind of woman is she." The nanny was moved and wiped her eyes, "You, don't learn from me. You won't even have a companion when you are old."
"Mammy, I'm not joking. After my mother passed away, you took care of me like my second mother. I really want to take care of you in your old age." Shi Yi held her hand, "This huge mansion has been taken care of for the past few years, thanks to you."
What do people want in their lives? Isn't it just respect. The second most powerful person in the world said such words to her from the bottom of his heart, and the nanny felt so warm in her heart.
She held Shi Yi's hand tightly again and again, and even though she tried her best to hide it, she could still choke up, "My life is worth it with what the princess said."
"Mammy..." Shi Yi patted her back gently.
"If His Majesty's heart is not crooked, he should know that you are the one who loves him the most in the world." Mammy wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued to treat Shi Yi's wounds.
Shi Yi suddenly laughed, "Mammy, why are you bringing this up again?"
"I just feel sorry for you." The tears that the nanny had finally stopped fell again, "I heard from those soldiers that you had a life-and-death experience at the border and almost didn't make it back. You finally came back, but you were ambushed on the way and almost lost your life again. Does the emperor know about your injuries and illnesses? He doesn't know a word!..." The nanny didn't notice that the door was pushed open and someone came in, and she was still talking to herself.
"Why are you here?" Shi Yi exposed his wound and looked directly at the person who came in.
When the nanny heard Shi Yi's voice, she turned around to look. It was not a big deal to look at him, but it turned out to be the emperor she had just mentioned.
"Mammy, please leave. I have a word to the princess." Zhao Jinyuan knew that she and her elder sister were like family, so he naturally respected her.
The nanny was flattered to be addressed by the king himself, and she went out dizzy.
When she stepped out of the door, she realized that they were the king and the minister, and there was a difference between men and women. If people knew about it , it would be hard to avoid gossip.
But if she took a step back and turned around, she didn't have the courage.
Finally, after thinking for a long time, she stepped out and closed the door.
But she didn't go back to the room, but stood guard at the door as a door god.
