"What?"
Empress Xiao didn't expect Chu Yanyan to respond to her.
Ever since that day in the palace, there seemed to be something between the mother and son. She had some questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to force them too much.
But seeing that he was willing to sacrifice his life for a woman, she felt depressed and painful.
When he heard Chu Yan speak at this moment, he was stunned and surprised. He finally spoke to him.
But at this moment, his heart also skipped a beat. He wanted to marry a woman? Who to marry? Qing Yue was gone.
"I want to marry a woman."
Chu Yan repeated it again expressionlessly, his eyes cold and deep.
"Yan'er, who do you want to marry?"
Empress Xiao asked tentatively, really afraid that his next words would be to marry Qingyue's corpse, which would be really crazy.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ling's bloodless lips moved and uttered two words, "Qin Wan."
"who?"
Empress Xiao felt a thud in her head, and thought she had misheard. Her eyes widened and she looked at her son.
Chu Yan didn't seem to realize how shocking his words were. He spoke word by word, "Qin Wan."
hiss.
Even Empress Xiao was so frightened that her breath was caught. She covered her chest and took two steps back, holding onto the table behind her before she could stand firm. Her eyes were full of disbelief, "A Yan, are you kidding me, mother?"
"Mother, you know me well. I never like jokes."
hiss.
Empress Xiao was completely unable to remain calm this time. Her eyes were filled with shock. "Yan'er, do you know what you're talking about? Are you crazy? Qin Wan? That's Princess Yu, Feng Ling's princess. Do you want to marry her? Isn't Qingyue the only one in your heart? What's with this sudden thought? Did she put a spell on me when she came in just now?"
Empress Xiao almost gritted her teeth as she began to scold, asking a series of questions in return.
She really didn't expect Chu Yanyan to make such a request.
Qin Wan?
Qin Wan!
Empress Xiao's head was buzzing. She couldn't understand why her son made such a ridiculous request.
Not to mention Qin Wan's current identity, just the fact that she is the unparalleled old man and the abilities she displayed in the Golden Palace, now she is not only a favorite of the emperor, but Concubine Feng is also very fond of her. The Qing family also treats her as a guest of honor. After all, it was she who helped the Qing family expose Qing Yunyao's true face.
Even she was polite when asked to save her son today.
It can be said that Qin Wan is now a celebrity in the entire capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The reward will come soon, but his son suddenly made such an absurd request. She has reason to suspect that Chu Yan was stimulated by Qing Yue's death.
"I'm not crazy. I just want to tell you that I'm going to marry Qin Wan."
Chu Yan spoke expressionlessly.
Empress Xiao was so angry that she almost vomited blood. In the past, she would have been furious, but Chu Yan died in front of her, so she could only suppress her temper.
"Yan'er, can you tell mother why you are doing this?"
Empress Xiao asked, covering her heart.
Chu Yan pursed his lips and remained silent.
This look made Empress Xiao's vision darken and her breathing became heavier. "Yan'er, don't you like that girl Qingyue? You even gave up your life for her. What do you mean by suddenly wanting to marry Qin Wan? Huh?"
Empress Xiao asked repeatedly.
Chu Yan, however, was indifferent and said, "Mother, haven't you always wanted me to take that position? I agree."
Chu Yan's voice was low and cold, but it caught Empress Xiao off guard.
She let out two breaths. She should be happy. If she had received such an answer from A Yan a few days ago, she would have been extremely satisfied. But that day in the Golden Palace, his eyes were full of blood and tears, and he shouted with hatred. He had no interest in that supreme position at all. The reason he worked hard for so many years to move up was just to marry the girl he loved.
The heartfelt words that day are still vivid in my mind.
She watched her only son vomiting blood and seriously injured. She couldn't sleep all night, constantly reflecting and regretting. It was because she pushed him too hard, demanded too much, and had excessive expectations, which made her child lose his attachment to this world at such a young age. Finally, a girl from the Qing family broke into his life and became his salvation, but was killed by someone.
She felt sad and blamed herself, and it seemed as if she had realized in an instant that she cared more about her son's life than the supreme position.
As long as her son can survive this disaster, she will never force him in the future.
She let it all go.
But what did her son say? He agreed, he agreed!
"Yan'er, did you agree to this in order to marry Qin Wan?"
Empress Xiao asked tentatively.
Sure enough, Chu Yan's bloodshot eyes turned and he said, "Yes."
"Oh my god...this is crazy!"
Empress Xiao's face turned red with anger, and she looked incredulous. It was actually because of this reason. But why was it so?
Empress Xiao was shocked and angry. Her eyes gradually became sharp as she stared at Chu Yan, trying to see something from her son's face. She suspected that Qin Wan had done something to her son, otherwise why would her son say such a ridiculous thing?
Chu Yan didn't look at the gaze that Empress Xiao cast on him. He just looked at a certain place deeply. His girl Yue'er still didn't understand him well enough. How could she think that he would really let it go?
He was in a dark and hopeless state. She was the only ray of sunshine in his life. If he lost her, he would die.
And he didn't want to die because he wanted to be with her.
But he has nothing now. He has lost Yue'er's heart and the status to compete with Feng Ling. So if he wants to get her, he has to reach the highest position.
It doesn’t matter if the Queen Mother doesn’t understand, as long as he understands it himself.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to look at me like this. I am not crazy."
"You're not crazy, how can you say such things? You and Qin Wan...you, you?"
Empress Xiao was furious, her eyes filled with confusion, when suddenly an idea struck her. She remembered the bloodstains on Qin Wan's clothes when she left, and her slightly swollen eyes, clearly from crying. So, had she and Ah Yan... hugged each other? Otherwise, how else could she explain the bloodstains on Qin Wan's chest and her red eyes?
"Hiss, Chu Yan, you and Qin Wan, what were you doing in the room just now?"
Empress Xiao's voice trembled. In just that short moment, the shock and fear she felt were simply indescribable, and the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"Mother, you think too much."
Chu Yan frowned, speaking in a cold tone, somewhat displeased.
Chu Yan, however, was unwilling to say more and directly ordered them to leave. "Mother, you can go back and think about it carefully."
"Considering what?"
Empress Xiao asked.
"Marry Qin Wan, ascend to a high position; lose Qin Wan, and your son will hang himself."
