Ye Xiaochuan was taking a walk on the street.
I saw Ye Xiaonian holding Lian Qiao's hand, the two of them walking and talking.
Although Lianqiao couldn't see, she had a gentle smile on her face.
After seeing Ye Xiaochuan, Ye Xiaonian said something to Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao nodded gently.
The two then walked towards Ye Xiaochuan.
"Brother Chuan."
Forsythia brings good fortune.
"Young Master Ye."
"Get up."
“Xiao Nian, Lian Qiao, I heard from my father that my elder brother has agreed to bestow a marriage upon you two.”
Congratulations.
"Thank you, Brother Xie, but... Prince Ji—"
Ye Xiaochuan shrugged.
“Father has just entered the palace. He is still not reconciled to the fact that my eldest brother was beheaded back then.”
"You two don't need to worry, just focus on preparing for your wedding."
"I'll keep an eye on my father and make sure he doesn't hurt you."
Ye Xiaonian sighed.
"Brother Chuan, I'm so sorry to have to make you choose between family and morality."
Ye Xiaochuan patted Ye Xiaonian on the shoulder.
"Xiao Nian, you don't need to worry, I have my own plans."
"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. I should also prepare for entering the palace and tell my elder brother that I have no intention of getting married!"
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ji Wang had been gone for less than a quarter of an hour.
Ye Xiaochuan then came to request an audience.
"pass."
"yes."
After Ye Xiaochuan entered, he made his stance clear at the beginning.
"Your Majesty, if I may be so bold as to ask, does my father still insist that I marry Lianqiao?"
Ye Ling nodded.
"yes."
He paused for a moment.
Ye Ling continued.
"I have already bestowed a marriage upon Ye Xiaonian and Wu Lianqiao, and this decree cannot be taken back."
Ye Xiaochuan nodded.
“Xiao Nian and Lian Qiao grew up together and have a deep bond. If we forcibly separate them, then I will be committing a great sin.”
Ye Ling sighed
They are both Prince Ji's sons.
The eldest son, however, acted arrogantly and unreasonably, taking advantage of his status.
The second son, however, remained calm and focused on doing his job well.
Just because Prince Ji disregarded the law for the sake of his eldest son.
In order to avenge his eldest son, he deliberately made things difficult for Wu Ying.
Ye Ling could deal with Old Prince Ji.
It was only because of his age, and also because of Ye Xiaochuan, his younger brother, that they decided to do it.
Ye Ling then refrained from attacking him.
"Your father still insists that I rescind my order."
"Xiao Chuan, tell me, what should I do?"
Ye Xiaochuan frowned.
"Why not make it a fait accompli and let Xiao Nian and Lian Qiao get married as soon as possible?"
"They are not people who care about pomp and circumstance; they are willing to keep things simple."
"Once the die is cast, even if my father is angry and anxious, there's nothing he can do."
Ye Ling nodded.
"That's one way."
"But what about your father—"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will handle Father's situation."
"Very well, then I will begin the arrangements."
Ye Xiaochuan and Wu Lianqiao's wedding was quickly scheduled for three days later.
The wedding was kept simple.
Upon hearing the news, Prince Ji...
We must leave the Prince's residence immediately.
But Ye Xiaochuan stopped him.
"Is Father going to the palace to ask the Emperor to rescind his decree?"
"Get out of my way!"
Ye Xiaochuan immediately drew his sword.
He aimed it at his own neck.
"Everything my father arranged was nothing more than avenging my elder brother."
"But Father, have you ever considered what my intentions are regarding my revenge plan against you?"
"Am I nothing more than a pawn in my father's quest for revenge?"
"Does it really have to be my happiness that's sacrificed?"
“If that’s really what my father thinks, then I will give my life back to him.”
Ye Ren was startled by Ye Xiaochuan's actions.
"You, you unfilial son!"
"Are you threatening me?!"
Ye Xiaochuan pressed the sword against his neck again.
A bloodstain quickly appeared.
"It's not a threat, I just want to know an answer."
"What am I in my father's eyes?"
"Is he his biological son, or a pawn in his revenge?"
Ye Ren was stumped by Ye Xiaochuan's question.
Over the years.
He always wanted to avenge his eldest son.
He never put himself in Ye Xiaochuan's shoes to consider whether all the arrangements he made were truly what Ye Xiaochuan wanted.
now.
Ye Xiaochuan pressed him with these questions.
Ye Ren, on the other hand, didn't know how to start the conversation.
Why doesn't Father answer?
Is it because the answer is the latter?
"In that case, Father, please find another chess piece."
"I don't want to be a cold, lifeless tool!"
It looked like Ye Xiaochuan was about to slit his own throat.
Ye Ren immediately shouted.
"Stop!"
"good!"
"I promise you, I will no longer force you to marry Wu Lianqiao!"
Ye Xiaochuan then put the sword down.
"I hope that my father will keep his word!"
"What I say, I will do; but one thing will never change!"
"I will definitely avenge your elder brother, no matter what method I use!"
"But don't worry, I won't involve you!"
Ye Ren looked at the wound on Ye Xiaochuan's neck.
"Let the imperial physician treat your injuries. How can you face anyone looking like this?"
Ye Xiaochuan's story is filled with mixed feelings.
on the one hand.
His father's decision to abandon his marriage to Lian Qiao put his mind at ease.
