Wu Siyan stood timidly in front of the desk, her heart crossed, and she thought to herself that it would all happen sooner or later. It would be a knife to extend her head, and it would be a knife to shrink her head. She took a deep breath and took a risk.
The empress looked at Wu Siyan's appearance and felt that her niece was very interesting. Seeing the entangled look, the corners of the empress's mouth rose, and she became interested in what Wu Siyan had to say.
"Aunt, I joined the sect." Wu Siyan finally summoned up the courage to say it. After saying this, the burden in Wu Siyan's heart finally disappeared, but her body was also a little weak. She didn't know that she I was very worried about what consequences I would face.
"Oh? Joined the sect?" The empress' face was startled. She didn't expect that Wu Siyan was talking about this. Originally, she thought Wu Siyan would say something about Wu Mingliang, Wu Huaping and the others, but she ended up talking to Wu Mingliang and Wu Huaping. What she had in mind was not all the way.
"Yes, I joined the sect, and I will no longer have the status of the Wutang royal family in the future. I will not be involved in the affairs of the royal family." Wu Siyan seemed to be lifeless when she heard the empress's tone, and she became a little bolder.
"Oh, so you joined the Pingyang Sect, a sect with only a few little guys?" The empress knew that Wu Siyan returned to Taiping City, and the Wutang Kingdom's intelligence department was not a decoration. Regarding the actions of Ye Xu and others, I know.
"Yes." Wu Siyan finally dared to look up at the empress. Although she was her own aunt, as an emperor, the empress was very powerful and beautiful. Wu Siyan usually did not dare to look directly at the empress, but today she risked her life. .
"Well, why?" The empress was a little confused. If she wanted to join a sect, Wu Siyan could choose to join a large sect like Hongchenxuan in Qingxu Mountain. Why should she choose this small sect? Although it is said to be a sect, in fact In the eyes of outsiders, it is like a child playing house.
"I don't want to get involved in the struggle for power in the royal family. I don't like the current atmosphere in the family very much. There is no love and affection as before. Now it's all about calculations. I don't like it very much. Aunt, you should know. Why are you Ignore them." Wu Siyan expressed her true thoughts.
"Oh, that's it. I didn't expect that Yan'er would do it for this reason. Anyway, just join!" The empress didn't expect that Wu Siyan would choose to stay away from the royal family because of this. She could understand it.
"Auntie, please take care of dad and uncle! Otherwise they will make big mistakes." Wu Siyan heard the meaning of the empress' words and seemed to know what happened. She couldn't understand. Since she knew, why not Stop them.
"It doesn't matter, traces of fish can only be found in muddy water. Crisis often hides in calm water. I will take care of it when the time comes." The empress is not old, but she is already well versed in government management.
"But will they make a big mistake then?" Wu Siyan was afraid that someone would make a big mistake.
"Since the rules are a circle, there is no harm within the circle. The criterion lies in the human heart. The human heart is not as big as the snake swallowing the elephant. If they break the rules and don't know how to advance or retreat, then they can't blame others." The empress said with cold eyes.
Of course the empress knew everything about the affairs of the court, and she also knew the behavior of her brothers. She never said that the throne should be given to her brothers or nephews. She would not give the throne to them because of their blood relationship. If the throne was to be passed on, She will choose someone who, like her, has great ambitions and cares about the world to inherit the throne.
Now she saw everything the three brothers of the Wu family did. She did not stop them directly. She also wanted to see if these people had political means and see clearly their intentions.
Ambition is allowed. The more talented people are, the more ambitious they are. However, in addition to ambition, one must also have self-awareness. Being talented, virtuous and ambitious is political ambition, and being ambitious without talent, virtue, or ambition is stupidity.
Wu Mingliang's family had been eliminated by the empress a long time ago. If Wu Huaping and Wu Mingliang were not too stupid and did not do anything inappropriate, the empress would have punished them long ago. When Wu Siyan came today, the empress thought she was here to punish them. Wu Mingliang came to help, but he didn't expect Wu Siyan to flee the royal family directly.
Originally, the rule that royal children were not allowed to join the sect was mainly aimed at the men in the royal family. The empress also knew that there were too few women like her. Women had a poor view of the big picture and focused on trivial matters. .
If a royal man joins a sect, it will easily lead to a situation where the emperor is held hostage by the sect. The empress hates this very much. She feels that these immortal sects do not work themselves but want the best resources. This is oppression of the people of the country. She thinks To change this situation, the royal family's children are not allowed to enter the sect. If they join the sect, they will give up the identity and status of the royal family.
"Aunt, just tell my father and brother! I don't want them to make a big mistake." Wu Siyan felt that the empress was a little unkind, and now she allowed them to make trouble, but they would still be punished if something went wrong, but after all, those were her relatives. Brother’s nephew!
"Yan'er, do you think I'm ruthless? Why didn't you warn them from the beginning?" the empress said after seeing the expression on Wu Siyan's face.
Wu Siyan lowered her head and did not reply. It was hard for her to say this.
"If they really understand, they should abide by their duties and try their best to help me govern the country, instead of being deceived by the desire for power and doing inappropriate things. I gave them the opportunity, let's see if they can seize it!" The empress was not in a hurry! He said slowly.
"Your grandfather was originally a prince of Xiaoyao County. After I inherited the throne, he turned out to be greedy for power. I had no choice but to let him go back to his hometown. Your father and the others were originally children from a wealthy family. Now that I sit on the throne and give them official positions, It can be said that they have gained a lot, and if they are still not satisfied and do some evil things, then I will treat them equally and will not favor them just because they are blood relatives with me." The Empress continued.
"I didn't expect Yan'er to be an exception. Now she wants to leave the royal family. Do you like Ye Xu?" The empress changed the subject and suddenly said about Ye Xu.
"Ah? No!" Wu Siyan was a little dumbfounded. Why did she run up to me while talking?
"I heard that Ye Xu is very talented and can also use thunder methods, but there are too many girls around him. I'm afraid your personality can't take advantage of him. This Ye Xu is too carefree." The empress got a lot of information.
"No! Brother Ye is not bothering!" Wu Siyan argued that she had been with Ye Xu for such a long time, and Ye Xu did very little except practice, so he did not attract bees or butterflies.
"Still not interested? I heard that the eldest lady of Tianmo Sect is by his side, Miao Xin, the Buddhist girl from Jialan Temple, is also by his side, and Luo Qingyu and Chu Wushuang also stayed on Duanshou Mountain." The Empress also said Pretty gossipy.
"That's all their wishful thinking. I think they all deliberately stayed with Brother Ye to find out his secrets. Brother Ye ignored them. It was all their own pretense." Wu Siyan thought for a while, Only then did I realize that Ye Xu was surrounded by a lot of yin and yang. Most of them were women, especially two guys, Leng Ningyan and Miaoxin, who always made fun of Brother Ye, but Ye Xu never responded to them.
"You said you didn't like Ye Xu, and you started to defend him. Why don't you let aunt help you identify him to see if he is a playboy?" the empress said in a gossipy way. At this time, the empress was different from the previous one. She looks completely different from the other two. Without her aloof imperial power, she just looks like a gossiping beautiful woman next door.
"Oh, why are you talking about me? Auntie, can you tell my father clearly that with the skills he and Wu Huaping have, they will trick themselves to death sooner or later." Wu Siyan hurriedly changed the topic back.
"Okay, I get it, but I'm still very interested in Ye Xu. Please take the time to bring him to me and let me see if he is a good match for you." The empress said with a smile.
"Oh, aunt, why are you like this? Why do I like Ye Xu? If you like it, go and meet it yourself!" Wu Siyan's face turned red when she was told that she really didn't like Ye Xu. She just wanted to leave the royal family. , let her father and brother wake up, she didn't want to see the tragic scene.
"Really, okay, then I'll take the time to meet him and see how powerful this Pingyang Sect leader is." The empress was still deliberately teasing Wu Siyan.
At this time, the door of the royal study room opened, and Dongfang Yahan walked in, handed a piece of paper to the empress, and then turned around and went out.
Wu Mingyue took the note and looked at it, raised her slender crescent eyebrows, and laughed softly.
"Yan'er, have you brought a helper?" The empress' eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, not knowing why she was so happy.
"Ah?" Wu Siyan was stunned, thinking that Sister Wenjun had been discovered?
"You are quite a helper!" the empress said with a smile.
"What's wrong? Could it be that my father was beaten badly?" Wu Siyan thought to herself, could it be that Sister Wenjun was very harsh?
"That's pretty much it. Your father is really embarrassed by this. Take a look!" The empress handed over the note in her hand.
Wu Siyan quickly stepped forward to take the note and looked at the content on it.
There were not many words on the note, but it clearly described Wu Mingliang's journey from leaving the house to being carried back to his home, including how many times he fell and how he was knocked unconscious by a brick.
Wu Siyan's eyelids jumped as she looked at the note. She didn't expect that Xiang Wenjun was so cruel that Wu Mingliang was left miserable without moving anywhere. Now Wu Mingliang may be starting to doubt life. This is a bit too unscientific.
"Your helpers are very powerful! They are highly cultivated and will not be discovered by others. Your father's bodyguards are masters of the Saint Profound Realm, but they were beaten anyway. It seems that Ye Xu is treating you well. Pingyang Sect has masters. !" The empress suddenly became more interested in Ye Xu, and now she really wanted to see Ye Xu.
"Haha, it's okay!" Wu Siyan laughed twice. She couldn't tell what happened to Xiang Wenjun, so she could only smile awkwardly, but the smile was a bit forced.
"Yan'er, tell me what happened in Pingyang Sect during this period!" The empress's gossip ignited.
"Auntie, do you still like to hear this?" Wu Siyan looked at Wu Mingyue a little suspiciously. She didn't expect that her aunt, the empress, would still have this side, and she would be so gossipy, so she should tell her about it herself!
