"That's it." Ye Wenyan said, "We can protect him for a while, but we can't protect him for his whole life. One day we will have to withdraw. One day he will start to live a life of weighing the pros and cons, start to calculate, and start to keep silent about the past.
By then, our existence will mean nothing to him except proving that he was a young emperor who could be bullied by everyone.
So we must also be prepared to quit at any time and live our own lives after quitting. "
Stepping back and being a bystander is the life she wants.
She put the last bunch of flowers into the space bracelet, and then asked Ye Feizhou: "Second brother, do you want to go with me when the time comes?"
"Haixian Town?" Ye Feizhou was indeed tempted, "I hope that one day I can be away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by flowers and the sea."
Return to Yue Kingdom, Lian Wang Palace.
Lian's husband smashed a table and four chairs today. The servants were very efficient. After he smashed them, they replaced them with new ones not long after. They also said to him with a smile: "The table and chairs are too hard, it's easy to hurt the prince, it's better to smash the cups."
The son-in-law’s surname is Lian. Because the previous emperor of Guiyue conferred a title of king on a person of a different surname, some people in Guiyue call him the son-in-law, while others call him the prince.
Feng Zhaolian was the only daughter of him and the eldest princess, so she took the emperor's surname. The last character "Lian" was derived from his surname.
Lian's husband loved his daughter Feng Zhaolian like the apple of his eye. He held her in his hands for fear of dropping her and held her in his mouth for fear of melting her. If Feng Zhaolian hadn't insisted on going out to see the world, he would have never let the child go to Northern Qi.
When he went to Northern Qi for the first time, he heard that the emperor had planned to marry a foreign princess, which made him so angry that he brought the eldest princess to the palace and had a big quarrel with the emperor. When he went to Northern Qi for the second time, he thought that Gui Yue would not cause any more trouble after being intimidated by the emperor.
Who would have thought that news would come back that his daughter was missing in Northern Qi.
Even now, when Prince Consort Lian recalls the moment he heard the news, his heart still aches.
But he didn't fall for it, although he had the urge to lead his troops to fight Northern Qi several times when he heard the news. But his wife was right, the great Northern Qi would not be so embarrassed by a little girl. Even if he wanted to make things difficult for Gui Yue, he could just do it openly in a country ruled by the Emperor. Why would he do such a thing behind the scenes?
Only then did Prince Consort Lian calm down and think about the matter over and over again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Gui Yue.
Now even most of the people in the palace have been replaced, and Emperor Guiyue has basically fallen out with his aunt and uncle.
His purpose was clear, he wanted the military power in the hands of the Lian King. But he couldn't ask for it openly, because the late emperor said when he was alive that unless the Lian King wanted to give up the military power, even the emperor had no right to take the troops away from him.
He trusts his sister and brother-in-law more than his own son.
It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother. The King of Guiyue grew up with his eldest sister, who took care of him more than his mother.
He had said long ago that anyone in this world could betray him, but his sister wouldn't.
When King Guiyue Lao passed away, he was actually not very old, just in his forties, which was still a long way from the end of his sixty-year lifespan!
The eldest princess still can't understand why such a young brother of the emperor would leave just like that?
Even the prince consort smashed things in the mansion several times a day. He was used to it, and so were the servants.
Even the servants would say: "As long as he is in this mansion, the prince consort can do whatever he wants. We just make sure he doesn't leave this mansion and won't interfere or ask any other questions."
Lian Wangfu was too lazy to talk to them. It had been almost a year, and he had said everything he needed to say. The emperor imprisoned him in the palace just for a military token. But he couldn't give the military token. Once he gave it, this Lian Wang Palace would be nothing, and his daughter, whose whereabouts were still unknown, would be in even greater danger.
As long as he holds the military power, the emperor will be wary. Once he loses the military power, he will be a lamb to be slaughtered.
The princess knew this, but what good was it? The person sitting on the throne was her nephew, but this nephew had been sent to Northern Qi as a hostage since he was young, and he did not grow up under her nose. So the two of them were not close, and that was why after the new emperor ascended the throne, apart from superficial respect for her aunt, the rest was all calculation.
"I don't know where my Lian'er is now." Lian Fu Ma sat in the flower hall, with a table full of food on the table, but he couldn't eat a single bite. Over the past year, he had lost weight visibly, as if he had aged ten years.
After wiping away tears for several months, the princess stopped crying now and just told her husband: "You must believe in our daughter. She has been smart since she was young and can turn danger into safety no matter what happens. It is said that mother and child are connected by heart. I thought that if she really encountered something bad, I would definitely be able to feel it. But I didn't feel anything in the past year, and I didn't even have a bad dream. It shows that Lian'er should be fine. It's just that we are imprisoned in the mansion. Even if Lian'er sent us a message, we couldn't receive it."
Lian's husband sighed, "I don't know how long he will be imprisoned. The emperor will not give up until he gets the military power this time. In fact, I don't want to monopolize the military power and not give it to him. He is the emperor, and we court officials who hold heavy troops exist to protect him. Those troops are not so much our troops as they are Guiyue's troops, his own troops. I have long been prepared to return the military power one day, but I never thought it would be in this way.
Madam, can you guess what our emperor is going to do?"
The princess shook her head. "How can I, a woman in seclusion, guess his thoughts? But these few days I suddenly remembered that when he first ascended the throne, he kept a fortune teller in the palace!"
"Fortune teller?" Even the prince consort remembered this. "There was a fortune teller who had predicted the fortune of Northern Qi for him. But I didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, Northern Qi was a place with an emperor. How could Gui Yue covet it?"
"But what if the fortune teller predicts that Northern Qi is not good?" The princess said, "This is just my guess, it can't be accurate. Let's just say if. If the fortune teller predicts that Northern Qi is not good, or even the emperor is not good, then doesn't that give our emperor an unnecessary hope? You have to know that he was once a hostage in Northern Qi. It's impossible for him to have no thoughts about Northern Qi!"
