Han Yichen's slender fingers bent slightly and gently pinched Yuwen Tianqi's philtrum. As he moved, Yuwen Tianqi's eyes slowly opened and his consciousness gradually became clear.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?" Situ Ye asked with concern, a hint of anxiety in his voice. He sat by the bed, holding Yuwen Tianqi's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry.
"Hmph, of course the sky is falling, what else can I do!" Yuwen Tianqi replied angrily, his face still gloomy and his chest heaving with anger.
Han Yichen narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and his gaze moved back and forth between Situ Ye and Yuwen Tianqi for a moment.
At this moment, he finally understood why Situ Ye wanted to take him back to his father's house. It turned out that this was so that he could be there to rescue Yuwen Tianqi in time when he was about to die of anger.
Thinking of this, Han Yichen couldn't help but sigh that Situ Ye's sister was really thoughtful!
But, compared to watching those two naughty kids in the palace, I might as well save them. At least I can have some peace and quiet for a while... no, a whole day! I can't work for nothing. I finally managed to sneak out of the palace, so of course I have to have fun before going back to face those two naughty kids. Han Yichen thought to himself.
In fact, before Situ Wanqing sent a letter home to Yuwen Tianqi, she had already passed a letter to Situ Ye in the palace.
In the letter, Situ Wanqing explained in detail the situation of herself and Lianxing, and asked Situ Ye, her brother, to help her calm down their stubborn father before she returned to the capital from Lengyue Kingdom.
When Situ Ye learned that Situ Wanqing actually wanted to marry Lianxing, he was initially angry. After all, in his opinion, Lianxing and Situ Wanqing's status did not match. Moreover, Lianxing had fallen into prostitution and now had a child.
However, when Situ Ye saw that Situ Wanqing mentioned in the letter that when he and Hua Qingcheng were discussing marriage, their father strongly opposed it, and that at that time she, as a younger sister, had done her best to help him, and now was the best time for him as a brother to repay his sister, his attitude changed.
After reading the letter, Situ Ye couldn't help but admire his sister Situ Wanqing. She had actually paved a way out for herself four years ago. She was indeed a natural-born scheming official...
"This stinky bean is really good at playing the emotional card!"
Situ Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head, but finally decided to do as Situ Wanqing asked. After all, the relationship between them had always been good, and he didn't want to disappoint Situ Wanqing.
So, Situ Ye began to plan how to deceive... no, how to persuade Yuwen Tianqi. Then, this morning, Situ Ye went to Han Yichen's palace and invited him to return to the Prime Minister's residence.
"Ye'er, you must stand on dad's side this time and persuade Wan Qing well! Otherwise, dad will probably soon become the laughing stock of the noble men in the capital..." Yuwen Tianqi held Situ Ye's hand, with a bitter face, and said earnestly.
At this moment, the son in front of him had become the last straw for Yuwen Tianqi.
You know, back then, Hua Qingcheng was just a peasant girl, yet his wife, the Prime Minister, had agreed to the marriage between Situ Ye and Hua Qingcheng. Now, regarding his daughter's marriage, he naturally couldn't expect Situ Luoyun to stand on the same front with him.
Situ Ye observed Yuwen Tianqi's expression and saw that his anger seemed to have eased, so he said, "Dad, in my opinion, you should be more open-minded. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings! If you push your sister too hard, she might resign from her official position and become a nun one day, or even elope with Ye Liangchen to a foreign country. By then, I'm afraid you will never see her again in this life..."
Hearing this, Yuwen Tianqi's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of horror. He quickly shook his head like a rattle, waved his hands and said, "No, absolutely not! Ye'er, Wanqing is the only legitimate daughter of our prime minister's family. She is also your sister and the apple of my eye! She shouldn't really run away to become a nun, or elope with that Ye Liangchen, right? Also, if she really does something like that, what should I do?"
Situ Ye looked at his father's anxious expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He knew that his father had good intentions in wanting to arrange a satisfactory marriage for his sister, but this dictatorial and meticulous arrangement had actually made his sister feel depressed and suffocated, so much so that she even asked to leave the capital to become a local official.
Situ Ye understood this point very well. Otherwise, he would not have run away from home for three years in order to escape marriage.
Thinking of this, Situ Ye's face darkened as he nodded solemnly. He said without sounding alarmist, "Dad, look at my sister since she was little. Has she always followed everything you arranged? No, right? That means she's a very opinionated person. Once she makes a decision, she won't change it easily."
"Just like this time, she could have directly joined the cabinet as a Grand Secretary, but she gave up this excellent opportunity and went north to Yuheng County to become the prefect, right?"
Situ Ye's voice was steady and gentle. Hearing him say that, Yuwen Tianqi couldn't help but become nervous.
"Ye'er!" Yuwen Tianqi grabbed Situ Ye's hand tightly and asked in panic, "Then in your opinion, what should I do now?"
Situ Ye patted Yuwen Tianqi's hand and said soothingly, "Father, as far as I know, my sister has recently asked to go on a diplomatic mission to Lengyue Country. It seems that there is something important going on. When she returns to the capital in a few days, you can persuade her in person. What do you think?"
