Yi Huaiyu never expected to see Sima Dalan when he got up in the morning, and it was Sima Dalan standing in the ice and snow in a single suit.
"What are you doing? Who are you showing off to? Hurry in!" Yi Huaiyu couldn't help but feel annoyed after reviewing the memorial until late at night last night.
Sima Dalan remained motionless, her face expressionless: "I heard that the emperor was going to send General Sima and General I to go on an expedition together, and I felt anxious, so I came here before dawn to beg for mercy, hoping that the emperor would be lenient and let me go.
My only relative."
The weather was cold, and Sima Tulan's tone was even colder. Yi Huaiyu hissed and sucked in the cold air from between his teeth, and his face suddenly turned livid.
Sima Duran rarely spoke to him with honorifics, and she would never behave in a manner that did not care for her own body. Not only was she particularly abnormal in these two aspects today, she even mentioned the most inappropriate things to him - she knew very well that,
Sima Yuan is the irreconcilable conflict between the two of them. The more she pleads for Sima Yuan, the more she will arouse his anger, which is harmful rather than beneficial.
"Tao Shihai, send the queen back to Huanqing Palace." Yi Huaiyu ordered without hesitation, turned around and walked into the house. He was so angry that he refused to look at Sima Tulan.
"If the emperor disagrees, I will stay here and not leave." Sima Tulan said loudly towards Yi Huaiyu's back without being impatient or angry.
As she expected, Yi Huaiyu suddenly stopped and turned to her again almost angrily, with furrowed brows filled with anger: "Sima Tulan, have I indulged you too much and made you think that you can be lawless?
It's my right to send troops. You just need to concentrate on taking care of the harem. You have no right to come here and ask for this or that!"
"I'm not qualified, so I said, I came here to plead for mercy, not to threaten anyone with a sword. Besides, I don't have the guts to take action against the emperor." Facing the angry eyes, he approached Yi Huaiyu,
Sima Duran spoke slowly and calmly, with a cold and calm smile, "I don't mind waiting here for one or two days, three days or five days. Anyway, someone will take the initiative to take care of all the trivial matters in the harem. Without me, the emperor would not be able to do it."
Can I still sit back and relax?"
Yi Huaiyu took a breath and his eyes grew cold.
He said that he did not mean to threaten him, but wasn't what Sima Duran did just to threaten him with the stability of the harem?
As we all know, the peaceful appearance of the harem today is all due to Queen Sima Tulan. Even if she always acts low-key and is never arrogant and domineering, those concubines who are afraid of the power of the Sima family still have to tolerate her three points and give her seven points.
Only in this way can we ensure that the Sixth House is smooth and there won’t be too many apparent storms and twists and turns.
What puzzled Yi Huaiyu was why Sima Duran suddenly changed his behavior and came here to cause mischief?
He was very sure of her understanding and infatuation. Sima Duran loved him so much that she was willing to sacrifice her innocence for him. Even after she became the queen, she was careful not to teach him to worry about the harem. Logically speaking, as long as she
The relationship is still the same, and things that actively create trouble for him should not exist.
The dark eyes suddenly froze, and Yi Huaiyu seemed to have thought of something, staring at Sima Tulan in disbelief.
As long as her feelings remain the same...then, what if she falls in love with someone else, buries her obsession with him, and falls in love with someone else?
"The morning meeting has been postponed for half an hour. I have some things to deal with." After giving instructions to Tao Shihai with a stern face, Yi Huaiyu grabbed Sima Dalan's wrist and dragged him into the dormitory without any explanation. Sima Dalan had no intention of struggling and followed behind unexpectedly.
. Walking into the inner hall and throwing Sima Tulan aside, Yi Huaiyu said with cold anger in his stern eyes: "Tell me, who encouraged you to come? Sima Yuan or Shen Junfang?"
After standing in the cold and deep snow for a long time, her whole body was already stiff. After being pushed hard by Yi Huaiyu, she felt as if all the bones in her body were falling apart. However, Sima Tulan gritted her teeth and refused to show any weakness. She sneered and asked back: "Is your Majesty the best?"
Are you underestimating my abilities? You don’t necessarily need anyone’s encouragement. A dog will jump over the wall when it’s anxious. Do I have to compromise and be forced to death? The survival of the Sima family is at stake. I don’t want to do thankless things with my eyes closed anymore.
, if the emperor insists on destroying the Sima family, then I can only destroy your harem in return."
"Sima Yuan, as a military general, should go out on the battlefield to protect his family and the country. Now that the government is eradicating the old and reforming, I have repeatedly requested that no one be allowed to appear in the corpse position. All civil and military officials who do not have the corresponding ability must resign from their official positions. How can we allow him to be allowed to do so?
One exception? Once the emperor and his courtiers, living people cannot be bound by dead rules. This is the society I want."
Yi Huaiyu naturally knew that the late emperor had issued a decree that Sima Yuan would never go into battle to kill the enemy again. If Sima Yuan or others wanted to cause trouble, they would definitely use this as an excuse. So, without waiting for Sima Tulan to mention it, he first took this route.
Truncate.
Sima Tulan didn't expect that he had such a skill. Many of the words she had prepared were no longer useful, so she could only stare at Yi Huaiyu quietly, as if she wanted to see through his skin and ask him directly what he wanted in his heart.
After a long time, a dumb smile faded: "Yi Huaiyu, it's really hard for you. You have worked so hard to get rid of my brother, and you even went so far as to destroy the late emperor's imperial edict. After all, the Sima family is just a stepping stone for you to ascend to the throne of God. Once your goal is achieved,
, all those who try to gain glory must be eliminated, right? Sure enough, the emperor is the most ruthless in the world."
"There were countless people who helped me, but how many of them did I deal with ruthlessly? In the final analysis, it was the Yao family and the Sima family who were responsible for their own evil, so they ended up in a tragic end."
Yi Huaiyu's explanation was particularly harsh in Sima Dalan's ears. Recalling the plummeting Sima family's status and the suppression after Yao Junxian's death, Sima Dalan's sneer-provoking lips gradually lost their arc, and she trembled slightly and silently: "You said
I don't object to my uncle's own misfortune, but what did my brother do? He has been cautious in his words and deeds since the agreement was made that day. In order to avoid your suspicion, he even claimed to be ill and refused to go to court. How can I get into trouble with you? I
I thought you would keep your promise and never take action against my brother, but I didn’t expect that what the majestic emperor said was all bullshit!”
"Presumptuous!" The ugly insult made Yi Huaiyu angry. He shouted lowly and raised his palms, but they stopped in mid-air and could not bring them down.
Although he was unwilling to admit it in every possible way, he was still reluctant to fight Sima Tulan.
Taking a deep breath and slumping down his arms, Yi Huaiyu closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, his tone tired and tired: "Do you only know how to accuse me? Why don't you ask Sima Yuan how he prevented me from coming to power in front of all the civil and military officials? Besides,
I just asked him to go out with Suiliang. When did I tell him to go into battle to kill the enemy? You Sima family are very suspicious of this, so I passed it on to you and Sima Yuan without missing a beat."
The conflict came from the imperial court's objection, and he was sent to the expedition without harming his life. This explanation could not dispel Sima Duran's worries, but seeing that Yi Huaiyu was not as unreasonable as before, Sima Duran breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice.
With three points of dissatisfaction and seven points of grievance.
"I'm afraid you don't care about face. What really makes you brood and refuse to forgive your brother is your and Su Shiyun's child who died in infancy, right?"
