Yong Rong gave a bitter smile and suddenly looked at Xianyue blankly. There was a trace of extremely rare attachment in his eyes. After a long time, he whispered softly: "It would be great if you were my mother-in-law."
Ever since Yong Yong could remember, his life had never been smooth. Although the Jin family treated him well, after the Jin family gave birth to Yong Yong, they paid much less attention to him. Later, the Jin family was deposed because of his mistakes.
into the cold palace, and he was also taken
According to his brother, the matter of his biological mother and adoptive mother made him particularly inferior, thus developing his indecisive temperament. If he was born as Xianyue's child, then his life would be very different, at least...he would not
So inferior.
Xianyue stroked his face covered with cold sweat and said lovingly: "What a silly boy. I was originally your mother-in-law."
"Eniang..." Yong Rong smiled lowly and turned his gaze to Hongli, "Huang Ama, my son is useless. I can't handle the affairs of the Criminal Department for you with my fourth brother."
Hongli tried his best to hide the sadness in his eyes, "It will be fine after you recover. Doctor Zhou and the others will definitely be able to cure you."
Yong Rong didn't say anything, he just said: "Emperor Ama, I want to ask you something."
"If you have anything to do, just say it. I will definitely agree." Faced with Hongli's words, Yongrong took a breath and said, "I know that Huang Ama has imprisoned Xiuyan and her family in Shuntian Mansion.
My son... I beg the Emperor to please release Xiuyan and her family!" Although he was ill, he had always sent people to pay attention to Wei Xiuyan's affairs.
Hongli's cheek twitched and he said coldly: "She hurt you like this, it's not worth your while to plead for her!"
"All this happened today was caused by Erchen himself. It has nothing to do with anyone else, and it has nothing to do with Xiuyan. On the contrary, the person I feel most sorry for in my life is Xiuyan. Please, please let their family go!"
Hongli said calmly: "If you recover from your illness, I will naturally let their family go, otherwise... I will have to bury them together!"
"No!" Yong Rong stood up excitedly, but lost all strength and fell to the ground. Yong Rong and the others hurriedly went over to help him, but Yong Rong ignored him and just held the corners of Hongli's robe tightly and said sadly: "Emperor
Amma, this is my last wish in this life, please fulfill it!"
Hongli knelt down to meet his eyes and said word by word: "I can grant you any request, but this one, Yong Rong, I can't spare Wei Xiuyan, absolutely not!"
Yong Rong endured the sweetness in his throat and begged, "If you don't agree, even if I die, I won't rest in peace, Emperor Ama..."
Hongli's face was slightly distorted, and he said in a cold voice: "I said I can't spare you, so I won't spare you. If anything happens to you, Wei Xiuyan and the others will all die!"
"Emperor..." Yong Rong wanted to beg again, but couldn't suppress the sweetness in his throat. He spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound. Seeing such a scene, several Fujins couldn't help crying.
Yongxu wiped off the blood stains on his chin in a panic and cried: "Huang Ama is right, Wei Xiuyan hurt you like this, she...she has no right to live anymore."
Yong Rong broke away from Yong Xuan's support and knelt down in front of Hong Li with great difficulty, "It's my fault... She came first, and I am the one who chased her out. Everything... has nothing to do with Xiuyan, she is innocent."
"Innocent?!" Hong Li said in a cold voice: "If she hadn't seduced you, how could you have disobeyed me again and again for her? If it hadn't been for her, how could you have gotten drunk and made trouble on New Year's Eve and contracted the disease? How could you?
Easy, you are willing to listen to me and let go, but she comes to pester you again, turning you from cold to consumption. It is impossible for me to spare her!" He hated Wei Xiuyan to the bone and could not forgive her.
Yong Rong shook his head vigorously and said: "No, she did not seduce Erchen. It was Erchen who first fell in love with her and wanted to be with her regardless of Huang Ama's objection." Seeing that Hongli remained silent, he steeled himself.
Said: "Huang Ama, do you really want your son to die in peace?"
Looking at Yong Rong, who was obviously extremely weak and still wanted to plead for Wei Xiuyan, Hongli was heartbroken and didn't know how to answer. For a long time, he stroked Yong Rong's pale face and said in a solemn voice: "She is really so important to you.
?”
"Yes, Xiuyan is to Erchen, just like Huang Eniang is to Huang Ama. If it weren't for her, Erchen would never know what it's like to love someone in this life, and neither Xiuyan nor her family should die!"
This was what Yong Rong cared about most after he found out he had tuberculosis. As he said, if he couldn't ask Hongli for mercy and exempt them from the death penalty, he would not rest in peace even if he died.
Hongli was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, as long as you recover, I will spare their lives!"
"Huang Ama..." Yong Rong felt anxious and vomited out a mouthful of black blood again. His face became more and more gray, but he held the hand at the corner of Hongli's robe and refused to let go even if he said anything.
Although Yong Rong, like Hong Li, was unwilling to spare the Wei family, he felt indescribably sad when he saw Yong Rong ignoring him and begging desperately and refusing to get up. He couldn't help but say
: "Huang Ama, I know that Wei Xiuyan is hateful, but Sixth Brother... please help Sixth Brother, so that he can leave... with peace of mind." After saying this, he was already crying.
Yongxuan also knelt down and begged: "Huang Ama, since even Sixth Brother does not blame Wei Xiuyan, why do you have to kill them all? I hope you will be merciful and spare them from death!"
"Your Majesty..." Before Xianyue could continue, Hongli raised his hand to stop him. His eyes stayed on Yong Rong, whose clothes were stained with blood and crumbling. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I promise you, I will spare them the death penalty!"
Hearing this, Yong Rong was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, Emperor Ama, for not killing me!" He knew that Hongli kept his promise, and since he had said it, he would definitely do it. Xiuyan... could finally be saved.
This is the last thing he can do for Xiuyan in this life. He hopes... Xiuyan can forget the harm he has caused her and live a good life in the future.
After solving the worries in his heart, Yong Rong's face looked much better, and his eyes regained a sparkle. However, Hongli understood that this was a flashback, and when the last trace of life's fire burned out, Yong Rong would reach the end.
…
At this time, urgent footsteps came from outside, and then a figure pushed the door open and walked in, but it was Yongxun. He learned that Yongrong's condition was getting worse and worse, so he rushed over as soon as he finished the work of the Criminal Department, and hurriedly
After bowing to Hongli and the others, he quickly ran to the bed and said eagerly: "Lao Liu, how are you?"
Yong Rong smiled and tried his best to cheer up: "I'm fine, but... I really miss the days of riding horses and hunting in the paddock with my fourth brother. I really want to have that opportunity again."
Yongxuan endured the sadness in his heart and choked up: "Yes, there will definitely be. When you get better, we will go to the paddock."
Yongxuan interjected with tears in his eyes: "And my twelfth brother and I, let's go hunt a tiger together and come back."
