The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

After the Queen Mother spoke, almost no one on the Chiyan Kingdom side had any objections. On the Silla Kingdom side, the leader Zhan Jingsheng did not express any opinion, and no one spoke either.

The emperor ordered the imperial physician to look after Mu Lianzhi, and the banquet, which had been interrupted for a while, resumed.

Outsiders might not be affected, but anyone who had anything to do with this almost lost the mood to have fun. Soon, the Queen Mother found an excuse to leave. As soon as she stood up, Zhan Jingsheng actually asked her directly whether she wanted to see Mu Lianzhi. In the end, he expressed his guilt and insisted on going to see her in person and apologize.

Finally, the person sitting in the main seat, along with the emperor, empress, imperial concubine and the fourth prince, left.

After the leader left, the atmosphere in the place became noticeably warmer, with more people toasting and greeting each other. Only Beitang Yi was the only one, drinking one cup after another, and the chill and gloomy aura emanating from his body became even colder.

It's easy to tell that most of those people went to see her, but the two groups closest to her couldn't move.

Even a blind man could tell that someone was in a bad mood.

Not to mention outsiders, Si Chao wanted to say something several times, but he opened his mouth and closed it again. His eyes unconsciously swept to the female relatives area across the street, and saw that there were obviously people gathered around Ping Yonghou Mansion, but several people were obviously tired of dealing with it and were not enthusiastic...

Yes.

It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Marquis's Mansion that the Empress Dowager has the savior.

Throughout the entire process, until the end of the banquet, Beitang Yi did not say a single word. It seemed as if a cold air pressure was shrouding him and no one could get close to him within three meters.

Likewise, he didn't know what had happened to her.

……

When he was about to leave, Beitang Yi happened to meet the eunuch sent by Eunuch Defu to deliver a message to the Marquis' Mansion, and his pace slowed down.

Afterwards, he roughly knew that Mu Lianzhi was fine. The emperor and the queen mother had a very pleasant conversation with her. After rewarding her handsomely, they had her weak body sent back to the Marquis' Mansion. The eunuch came here to reassure the old lady and to take better care of her in the future.

Beitang Yi could immediately see the stiffness and frustration on the faces of the people from the Marquis' Mansion.

How could this group of people be nice to her?

If they had any true feelings for her, how could they push her to their side?

Beitang Yi didn't believe what the old lady said in the palace at all, but he never thought that this family had been bleeding her.

In fact, he had asked her about the tattoo and wound on her chest before. Every time, she just said that she got it accidentally and was covering up the ugliness. When he asked her again, she became silent, lowered her head, and refused to say anything.

As time went by, he didn't see anything wrong with her, so he stopped asking.

He never dreamed that the letter Leng Yun sent back mentioned that he was suffering from a real cold, anger and anemia.

No wonder she fell ill, no wonder she hated him. If he hadn't released Ling Yuchi in advance, they would still be counting on her. How could they let her fall down at this time and even be in danger of her life?

Now that she's useless, they can do whatever they want and stop treating her as a human being, right?

"Thank you for your help, eunuch."

"Don't dare."

After the old lady thanked him, the young eunuch turned and left. When she raised her eyes, she met Beitang Yi's cold eyes, and her body trembled with fear.

Her lips moved, and when she was still thinking about whether to say hello, Beitang Yi had already turned around. At this moment, a female voice interrupted:

"Master Beitang, please stay—"

The person who came was Gu Xue, the Crown Princess's personal maid. She trotted forward and greeted everyone:

"Master Beitang, the Crown Princess wants to see you. May I have the chance to speak to you for a moment?"

After giving Si Chao a look, Beitang Yi followed Gu Xue.

Seeing this, the old lady's heart unconsciously sank again, and she began to doubt whether it was just an illusion.

In public, both of them were so unscrupulous. How could he take risks or do anything for a useless substitute?

No matter what, she still holds an official position in the Pingyong Marquis's Mansion. She has to give face to others instead of monks. The old lady really doesn't believe that Beitang Yi would dare to disregard the law and act recklessly. If she files a complaint with the emperor, their mansion will have a chance.

He is nothing more than the emperor's dog.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt a little more at ease. She did not stay any longer and left with her group.

……

After turning into a small garden, Beitang Yi saw Yu Hua talking to a noble lady on the road.

Without saying anything, he turned to the side and stood with his back to the side. Gu Xue understood and bowed to him, then she continued walking forward.

Looking at the thread-like clouds in the sky, Beitang Yi didn't know how long he stood there, until a familiar female voice came from behind him:

"I heard that you rejected Weiwei and made her cry?"

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Beitang Yi's body stiffened abruptly, because he thought of the broken little gourd again.

She didn't know that his reaction was because of this, and thought it was because of her. Yu Hua didn't know whether she should be happy or not, but her brows softened unconsciously.

Just as she was about to say something, she turned around and Beitang Yi's cold voice came over:

"Your Majesty called me here just to teach me a lesson?"

Obviously sensing his displeasure, Yu Hua pulled the corners of her lips dryly, her long eyelashes drooping:

"No, I don't mean that, Ah Yi, she is my sister, she has always admired you, and you watched her grow up..."

"so what?"

When their eyes met, Yu Hua was obviously choked. Both of them were smart people and had been in that kind of relationship before, so they could probably guess each other's thoughts and attitudes as soon as they opened their mouths.

Yes.

Yu Hua wanted to bring Beitang Yi and Yu Wei together, although she was actually very reluctant in her heart.

Time stood still for a moment.

Yu Hua twirled the handkerchief in his hand and sighed softly, a barely perceptible hint of bitterness flashing across the corners of his lips:

"Ayi, it's been seven years. Before, I just wanted you to live well, but now I also want you to be happy. You said before that what you wanted most was... a family. If possible, I want us to be a family. Weiwei is my biological sister..."

They sisters actually look a lot alike.

Before Yu Hua finished speaking, Beitang Yi sneered. This time, he was really angry and laughed:

"Ha~"

"My Lady Crown Princess, human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Am I short of women or do you think I won't fall in love with anyone other than the women of your Yu family?"

"Who I want and who I want to marry is my business."

Who do you think you are?

The last sentence almost came out of his mouth, but in the end, Beitang Yi Lengwu's lips were pursed into a line, and he looked down at the face that had once made him infinitely obsessed, and finally softened his heart:

"If your majesty has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."

Without giving her time to react, Beitang Yi had already stepped past her. Behind her, a vague female voice came again:

"Is it for her?"
