When Yu Tanqi was leaving under the protection of Dan Hua, he met Gao Rui who came to support him.
She saw that Gao Rui's gorgeous bright yellow brocade clothes were stained with blood, and his expression was terribly gloomy.
Yu Tanqi could probably guess what had happened to him.
Since Yun Xuan appeared here, Gao Yan naturally appeared in the palace and forced the emperor to abdicate again.
But Gao Yan still failed.
When Yun Xuan saw Gao Rui leading his troops to support him, he seemed to hear some sound at that moment.
It was noon in this huge and prosperous capital city. The sun was so bright that it was blinding, yet it also made people feel cold all over and shiver.
He was standing in the sunshine, but still couldn't feel the warmth.
The darkness followed him like a shadow, like a thorn in his flesh, which made him disgusted and hate it to the extreme.
There was a buzzing in my ears, and everything in front of me seemed to slow down several times.
But Gao Rui still came too quickly.
Yun Xuan had a blank expression on his face: "Gao Yan is really useless. He can't even beat Gao Rui."
Jiang Shi said: "It's not that the King of Qin is useless, it's that you all underestimate the King of Jin."
How could Gao Rui, the Queen's only legitimate son and the eldest prince who was once personally taught by the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife, be as mediocre as he appeared on the surface?
Yun Xuan also thought of this and chuckled softly, "Yes, I really underestimated you. The emperor is worthy of being the emperor. He has been doting on Gao Yan for so many years. I guess he is just flattering her to death, just like Concubine Wang back then."
Jiang Shi didn't say anything.
The heart of an emperor is unfathomable, and living with him is like living with a tiger.
The art of an emperor is to maintain checks and balances in order to last.
Yun Xuan looked at Jiang Shi. Although the situation was obviously hopeless, he still stood with his back straight, his posture tall and straight, without showing any sign of dejection or fear.
He said, "Jiang Shi, you work so hard for Gao Rui, but have you ever thought about what Gao Rui will do to you if your achievements surpass yours one day?"
The young man laughed softly, seeming to be mocking himself and showing contempt.
"My Yun family's current fate is your future fate, Jiang Shi, you won't be any better than me."
Jiang Shi said calmly, "Just do good things and don't worry about the future. I just want peace in the world and the people to live in peace."
"What a good thing! Just do good things and don't worry about the future. The world is peaceful and the people live in peace. Jiang Shi, you are truly a savior who cares about the world. I am a villain who rebels and seeks power to usurp the throne. I am not worthy."
Yun Xuan praised Jiang Shi and belittled himself, but his expression revealed deep resentment and resentment.
His tone gradually became gloomy and crazy.
"But when my Yun family first joined the Gao family in conquering the world, wasn't it also for peace and prosperity for the people? After finally establishing a new dynasty, how did the Gao family treat the brothers who followed them to conquer the world? And how did they treat my Yun family?"
"How many of the civil and military officials who followed the Gao family to conquer the world are still alive and well, enjoying wealth and glory? Why is it that the Gao family can sit high and mighty on the throne, while my Yun family can only cautiously serve as their pawns, living a humble and humiliating life. If we arouse the emperor's suspicion, our entire family will be killed?"
Every word Yun Xuan wrote was heavy, as if written from falling scarlet tears of blood.
This is the resentment and unwillingness accumulated by countless people in the Yun family over the past hundred years.
It makes people feel sad.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips and whispered, "So, in order to avenge the Gao family, you and your father didn't hesitate to murder loyal officials and rebel, causing thousands of innocent people in Wanjin to become the victims of your vengeful blade?"
"If you succeed in seizing power and usurping the throne, how much better will you be than the Gao family? Can the Wanjin Kingdom, experiencing civil strife, withstand an invasion from the Tianqi Kingdom? The world is in chaos, and the people are displaced. Have you ever considered this? Have you ever considered it?"
"You don't. All you see and feel is the humiliation your Yun family has suffered over the past century, and you're unwilling to accept it. I have no way to resolve your resentment and unwillingness, and I'm no saint. I simply don't want to see the world in chaos and the people displaced. I just want to do my best to protect the people of Dawn."
"When will the cycle of revenge ever end? The grudges between our fathers and mine were resolved long ago. I know you can't let go of your grudge with the Gao family, and I can't stop you from doing so. You and I are destined to be enemies, and I don't want to say anything more."
No matter how much you say, you can't change the established facts.
Jiang Shi just felt regretful. If the Yun family and the Gao family had not had a century-long hatred, with Yun Xuan's character and talents, he would definitely become a pillar of the country.
But things don't always go as we wish.
This is a dead end.
Jiang Shi held the sword in his hand and no longer faced Yun Xuan.
Yun Xuan was holding a dagger in his hand, which he had snatched from Yu Tanqi.
At this moment, the blade of the dagger that was originally against Yu Tanqi's neck was still as clean as a mirror, without a trace of blood.
Yun Xuan raised his hand and looked down at the dagger in his hand.
"This is the dagger you gave her for self-defense."
Jiang Shi also saw the still clean dagger in his hand, his eyes moved slightly, as if he realized something.
Yun Xuan lightly scratched the blade with his fingertips, and a bead of scarlet blood jumped out.
He smiled.
"It's a sharp weapon that can hurt people. Just a slight touch can cause blood to flow."
Before Yu Tanqi left, her slender and fragile neck was still as white as before.
"Jiang Shi, I used to feel sorry for you. You were so pitiful. Both your parents died when you were born. Your so-called uncles and aunts wanted you dead. The only one who treated you well was your grandmother. But when you were young, your grandmother also died, leaving you a real lonely person."
"So even though your parents died because of my parents, and my parents died because of your parents' men, I never thought of killing you. I even allowed my only biological sister to pursue you. If you marry my sister, I wouldn't mind treating you as my brother-in-law.
