"Empress!" Liangchen exclaimed loudly, with disbelief written all over his face. At the same time, the door was slightly opened, Huai Moran nodded slightly to the guards guarding the door, and those guards silently exited behind the door again.
, the door was closed again by Mr. Liu.
Huai Moran leaned lazily on the back of the chair, raised his eyes slightly, looked at Liangchen lightly, and said coldly: "What? Do you have something to say?"
Liangchen didn't know why today's Huai Moran was so eerie and scary, which made her feel afraid. It was just that it was about Ye Si's life, and she would never give up just like that. So she kowtowed heavily and said: "My queen, I want to accompany you."
The one who refuses to marry Ye Si is the one who lives by the side of the empress. He is not willing to do so. I beg the empress to let him go."
"You mean, he just lied in front of me?" Huai Moran picked up the tea cup on the side, picked up Cha Gai with one hand and carelessly played with the water, while saying playfully.
Just when Liangchen was about to say "yes", Meimei tugged on her sleeve. She was slightly startled, and then she realized what to do. She didn't know how to explain it at the moment, so she had to bite the bullet and said: "To tell you the truth, he didn't mean to do it."
The one who lied to the Queen was because he was eager to protect his slaves, so he lied, but... the crime is not punishable by death! My Queen, please take back your life, I beg you!"
Ye Si looked at Liangchen who kept explaining to him, and couldn't help but feel a little more relieved. He thought that she was disgusted with him at this time, that it was the emperor's affairs that stimulated her, and made her suspect that he was also that kind of man, thinking...
As long as she can break off the engagement, she won't say anything even if he sacrifices his life.
But he didn't expect that she turned out to be much better than he imagined. He was even a little ashamed because he portrayed her as such a woman.
"Impossible." Huai Moran lowered his eyes slightly, took a sip of tea, and then said with a serious face.
"Empress!" Liangchen didn't understand where the kind-hearted empress had gone. She didn't understand why the truth was obvious, and why Huai Moran refused to let Ye Si go. Just after a second thought, she suddenly understood.
At this time, the Empress must be very disappointed with the Emperor. Does that mean she hates all men? When this idea came to her mind, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Liangchen's forehead. She was very worried about her situation today.
She decided to feel annoyed, and even more terrified. Did she really want to watch Ye Si die because of her? She didn't want... She loved him, but she just didn't want to marry him tonight.
But why did things develop to this point?
Huai Moran calmly observed Liangchen's flustered and annoyed expression, a smile gradually appeared in her eyes, but that smile was fleeting and was replaced by coldness in a blink of an eye. At the same time, she said coldly: "Ye Si, you
But what else is there to say?"
Ye Si looked particularly calm, as if he had already guessed such a result. After all, they all knew that Baili Yeheng had betrayed Huai Moran and was entangled with Nangong Xiao. In his opinion, Huai
Mo Ran should be sullen and even irrational. At this time, it is normal for her to want someone to die.
The superior person originally held the power of life and death in this world, so even if he died in her hands, why would he complain? Then he shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to say, but after a pause, he suddenly said: "
The only thing is, I hope that the empress will choose a good husband for her good life in the future, someone she can be willing to marry...a good husband."
"Ye Si, shut up!" Liangchen choked with red eyes. She didn't dare to look at Ye Si's emotionless expression, and she didn't want to think about why he was willing to die for her, because these were obvious.
She doesn't need to think about the answer!
Liangchen looked at Huai Moran and said anxiously: "My Lady, please don't listen to Ye Si's nonsense. The blame for all this lies with this slave. I hope that your Majesty will behead this slave, but he is innocent, he is innocent..."
"Innocent?" Huai Moran just looked at her indifferently, and then said expressionlessly: "Liangchen, do you know that if you break off the engagement, the ministers will panic? Nowadays, many people are waiting for you to get married. Many people
They are all waiting for this matter to determine an answer, that is, their king is fine, their empress is fine, and the country will be in peace!"
Liangchen nodded heavily and said with a panic expression: "I know I was wrong..."
"You are my favorite maid, and I regard you as my biological sister. So if you really don't want to marry Ye Si, I can help you because I really like you. But, here
At this time, if you don't want to get married, then you have to use another method to let everyone know that you have a reason why you can't get married. If you want everyone to believe this reason, that is..."
Huai Moran turned his gaze to Ye Si aside and said coldly: "That is someone who started in chaos but gave up. He would rather be beheaded than marry a woman he no longer loves. In this case, the ministers will take all the blame for the crime.
The blame will be placed on him, and the emperor's affairs will be concealed. At the same time, you can continue to live a good life under the protection of this palace."
Liangchen was dumbfounded as she listened to Huai Moran's words. She couldn't believe that sitting there at this time was the empress she was familiar with. She shook her head desperately and murmured: "No... no... slave, no...
Ye Si died in vain for the sake of slave! I beg you, please, please let him go, slave... slave is wrong, slave will marry him, marry him!"
Ye Si lowered his eyes. When he heard these words, he was not happy at all, because he thought that she just didn't want him to die, but he didn't know if she really wanted to marry him or what.
"Marry if you want, or don't marry if you don't want to. Liangchen, do you think marriage is a child's play? Start when you say you want to start, and stop when you say you want to stop?" Huai Moran narrowed his eyes and looked at Liangchen with a dangerous expression.
.
Liangchen shook his head, bit his lip and said: "To reply to your Majesty, I really didn't mean it, slave... I thought your Majesty would want you to be by your side, but you forgot that this was just your own idea... Just like your Majesty
In order to protect this slave, it’s like letting Ye Si take the blame. This... this is just caring leads to chaos..."
Huai Moran nodded slightly, her tense face finally softened a bit, she said calmly: "Ye Si, what about you?"
Ye Si looked at Liangchen with complicated eyes, then lowered his head and said: "Liangchen wants to marry me, and I am naturally very happy, but... I know that she doesn't really want to marry me, but is just afraid that I will lose him."
She will take her life, so... I would rather she not force herself than have a marriage that makes her beloved sad."
Liangchen's face was full of surprise. She turned to look at Ye Si, who was looking serious at this time, and said with some disbelief: "You... what are you talking about?"
Ye Si said with a painful look on his face: "Liangchen, I know that you want to stay with your mother-in-law more than you want to marry me. This shows that in your eyes, I am not irreplaceable. I...I don't
I hope you regret it, so..."
"Idiot! Idiot!" Liangchen raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily, "Fool...can't you see that the empress is trying her best to make me admit my mistakes, and also to make me...let me see my sincerity?
"
Ye Si was stunned for a moment and was silent for a long time before he understood. For a moment, there was a smile on his originally dull expression. He looked at Huai Mo Ran, who just looked at him with a half-smile, as if saying,
Are you really that stupid?
Meimei smiled softly, and when she saw Huai Moran's face softening, she realized that what had happened just now was because the empress wanted to test the two of them, but the empress acted so realistically that she almost frightened her soul.
"Okay, let's all get up." Huai Moran put down the tea cup and waved his hands slightly.
Meili hurriedly got up and came to Huai Moran to pour tea for her, while Liangchen stood there with a shy expression, not daring to look at Ye Si who was slowly approaching.
Huai Moran looked at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the past, Baili Yeheng was as affectionate and affectionate as Ye Si, but now...that's all, let's not mention it.
Meimei rolled her eyes at them and said: "Okay, originally it was stipulated that the bride and groom cannot meet each other on the wedding day. You should go back to your homes as soon as possible!"
Liangchen screamed, covered his face and ran out. The hand that Ye Si stretched out to pat her shoulder was just there empty. He couldn't help but touch his head in embarrassment, and then smiled at Huai Moran,
His eyes were full of gratitude, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your help."
Huai Moranqing smiled lightly, picked up the brush again, dipped it in ink and said softly: "Thank you, don't thank me. If Liangchen is not smart enough, he will not hear the implication of my words. Go ahead and marry her tonight."
, those ministers... I leave it to you."
Ye Si nodded solemnly, then bowed and left.
After they left, Mingmei smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so kind. I thought this good time was really hardened by the weight."
Huai Moran said calmly as he wrote: "Liangchen's appearance clearly showed her affection for Ye Si. But when she saw me being wronged, she wanted to stay with me, but she didn't realize that she couldn't let go of Ye Si.
If you can't bear to leave Ye Si, there is no need to lose your own happiness for me. She already cares about me so much, and this is all I can give her."
Mei Mei nodded slightly, raised her eyes and glanced at the closed door, thinking that when the two of them came in just now, a pink figure flashed past. That person was none other than the maid Fu Rong who was responsible for taking care of the embroiderer.
Thinking of Xiu Niang, Meiliang had an idea, looked at Huai Moran and said: "Your Majesty, why don't I serve you some food? You have to eat more or less, otherwise...it won't be easy for Madam to ask.
"
When Huai Moran thought of Xiu Niang, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Thinking of her weak and worrying temperament, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Well, then bring me some side dishes back. And ask someone to go to Madam's house to take a look and say,
I want you to go see if she has eaten, so that she can feel at ease."
Meimei agreed happily.
The embroiderer has always been a weak-tempered person. She knew that Baili Yeheng and Nangong Xiao had a child secretly. She felt that her daughter was wronged, but she also felt that it was normal for the emperor to have three wives and four concubines. Under the contradiction, she
I could only hide in my room and cry secretly.
But even so, she did not forget to ask her personal maid to see if Huai Moran had eaten and what her mood was like, but she herself could not eat anything all day long.
After a while, Meili brought some side dishes, which were all light dishes that Huai Moran liked to eat on weekdays. Huai Moran forced herself to eat some. She didn't want anyone to have unnecessary worries at this time.
Branches outside the node.
After a while, the maid came over and replied, saying that the madam was very happy and had eaten some just now, and asked her to send a message to the empress and pay attention to rest, as she would be more busy with Liangchen's affairs.
