Sima Tulan was stunned for a moment, then showed a strange expression: "You want to tell me that no matter how hard you chase Yi Huaiyu, there will be no results, right?"
Ou Suiliang was silent for a moment and nodded lightly.
"Stop joking, how can that kind of weak, useless woman who can only cry be worthy of him?" With a bang, the priceless white jade tree sculpture fell to the ground, and most of its snow-white branches were broken off. Sima Duran's face was filled with joy.
His expression faded away in an instant, and his cheeks, which had never known shyness, turned red with anger: "Do you men just like submissive women? Who doesn't know how to be pretentious? What's better? What can that woman do to help him? Is it better to conquer the world or conquer the world?
To settle the country? If you marry me, you will just cry in his arms!"
Sima Tulan was used to being straightforward, and didn't care that this was near the palace, and the person she was talking to was Yi Huaiyu's confidant. Fortunately, there was no one around. Ou Suiliang was a sensible person, so he just shook his head to signal her to calm down, and said
No other actions were taken.
"Let him go. Anyway, the emperor can't agree to him marrying a commoner. When the time comes, I won't accept it if he asks me for it!"
Sima Tulan groaned angrily and walked away, leaving Ou Suiliang standing alone, looking at the broken white jade tree at his feet in trance.
No one can explain the relationship clearly, and there is no rule in the world that stipulates who should like whom and who should not like whom. It is said that the ambitious Yi Huaiyu and the rebellious Sima Tulan have no problem in matching each other. It is said that the suave and affectionate Yi Huaiyu and the gentle
There is no problem if the virtuous Su Shiyun is a good match. Whether you love her or not, in the final analysis, it is just an endless struggle.
The breeze picked up and fluttered his clothes. It was a long time before he came back to his senses. Being interrupted by Sima Tulan's angry shouting, Ou Suiliang suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask the most important question - if Yi Huaiyu refused.
Is she willing to give him a chance to marry Sima Duran?
As long as he can keep the power that supports Yi Huaiyu to continue to fight for the world, he is willing to be a villain and owe her a lifelong debt of love.
After all, reality is not as beautiful as dreams. There is no satisfaction, no smooth sailing. The result of two people being happy may not be everyone's blessing and growing old together. When Yi Huaiyu informed the emperor about his desire to marry Su Shiyun, not surprisingly, in exchange
A scolding.
"Why does my father insist on sticking to status? What I like about Yun'er is her character rather than her background. No matter how beautiful or noble the daughter of a prince or minister is, she will never be able to catch the attention of my sons and ministers. Nothing in this world is from God.
Destined, regardless of status or fate, only the survival of the fittest can keep the bloodline alive, and some pedantic and outdated things should be eliminated."
Faced with the emperor's objections and the ministers' pretended surprise and heartbroken expressions, Yi Huaiyu's brows were calm without a ripple, and he bravely faced the Nine-Five Emperor with fearless eyes. His neither humble nor arrogant attitude was more like a provocation, and his words were as follows
Like the tip of a knife, every word pierced deeply into the fragile heart of the emperor, causing panic and pain.
Ou Suiliang was not present when Yi Huaiyu argued with the emperor. Later, when he heard someone describe the scene, he couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.
On the surface, Yi Huaiyu was talking about his feelings for Su Shiyun, but if he thought about it more deeply, didn't he imply that the emperor could only occupy the dragon chair with virtue? The impatience shown by Yi Huaiyu made me sad.
Suiliang was uneasy when he arrived, probably because he was not a member of the royal family and had more to consider. Even Suiliang was three points more cautious than Yi Huaiyu. Especially in this sensitive period, he suggested that he should keep a low profile.
The news that Yi Huaiyu was quarreling with the emperor over a commoner woman spread like wildfire. Those civil and military ministers who wanted to support Yi Huaiyu came to his door one after another. They almost tried their best to persuade him not to be emotional, but the one who should come to him the most
Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian did not show up. Not only that, even Sima Tulan stopped running to the palace, and the lively Xiguang Palace suddenly became deserted.
"The calm before the storm?"
A few days after Yi Huaiyu looked at Su Shiyun's sleeping face and murmured to himself like this, the dead calm was finally broken, and a violent storm swept over——
On the fourth day, the emperor issued an imperial edict, granting the title of Prince of Bei'an to the second prince Yi Huaiyu, and marrying him to the official daughter of the Chancellor. Half a month later, he set off for Changling County, the fiefdom.
On the sixth day, Sima Yuan was granted the title of Marquis, Yao Junxian promoted him to participate in political affairs, and Sima Tulan made an exception and was granted the title of Princess.
On the seventh day, Yi Huaiyu was reassigned to the post of general of border guard, and he was ordered to rush to the southern border to stabilize the border within a month, becoming the first prince to be granted the title of general.
In just seven days, the emperor almost tried every means to cut off Yi Huaiyu's wings. All the courtiers who supported Yi Huaiyu were demoted if they could. Those who could not move, such as Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian, were treated with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and even gold.
A large number of silver and rare treasures were rewarded. For a time, all the insidious forces turned away from Yi Huaiyu and turned to the prince's side. Yi Huaiyu was almost completely isolated.
The emperor's orders cannot be violated. Under unfavorable circumstances, Yi Huaiyu had to accept the emperor's arrangement and prepare to go to the southern border. With heavy pressure on his shoulders and heart, on a moonlit night, the idea of having sex with Su Shiyun naturally disappeared.
.
When Ou Suiliang, who had been demoted again and again, received a message from the young eunuch and rushed to the Xiguang Palace, Su Shiyun was wandering at the entrance of the palace with Yi Huaiyu on her back, her eyes red and full of tears.
"What's the matter with Miss Su calling me here in such a hurry? It's cold in autumn and it's easy to catch a cold. It's best for Miss Su to take care of herself." Ou Suiliang didn't want to communicate too much with Su Shiyun. Yi Huaiyu was confused because of her talent.
, it is inevitable that there will be some conflict; secondly, it is also because of Sima Tulan.
In Ou Suiliang's consideration, Sima Dalan is indeed more suitable to be Yi Huaiyu's wife than Su Shiyun - at least judging from the current situation, Yi Huaiyu very much needs the power behind Sima Dalan.
"His Highness has not been able to eat well for the past two days and has had trouble sleeping. He has been frowning at night and stayed up all night. He has lost a lot of weight in just a few days. I know that His Highness has been under a lot of pressure because of my affairs. I am the only one to blame.
It’s not like Miss Sima can share His Highness’s worries, so I have to invite Sir to come and persuade him if I can. If not, I also ask Sir to convey Shi Yun’s words to His Highness.”
"Your Highness's temper won't allow me to persuade you." Ou Suiliang sighed silently, looking at Su Shiyun with a softer look, "If there is anything you want to say, wouldn't you say it directly to His Highness? I am an outsider after all.
It’s not appropriate to send a message.”
Su Shiyun lowered her head and casually brushed her hair away from her ears. Her unique delicate charm was undoubtedly revealed but she didn't notice it. She still spoke in a low voice, almost pleading: "Shiyun is a commoner who doesn't understand the struggle for power. The only person close to my grandfather after his death was
Your Highness, Shi Yun’s only wish is not to cause trouble to His Highness. Now that the situation has reached this level, if we continue to entangle ourselves, it will harm His Highness, so...so..."
After hesitating for a long time, Su Shiyun forced out a hard smile, bit her lip, and looked at Ou Suiliang.
"Please tell His Highness that Shiyun does not ask to be his wife, but to marry Miss Sima to relieve the current difficulties. If Your Highness refuses, in order to let him give up this longing, Shiyun has no choice but to end it on his own."
