Yan Wei immediately jumped out of bed, not even bothering to put on a coat: "Brother Huang is going to find Sister Huang? Wait for me and I will go together!"
Changle Palace.
Seeing the lively Yan Wei, Zhu Sijia and Zhu Ya looked at each other in silence, wondering if they were cured by taking the panacea that Yan Xiu brought over?
Yan Wei knelt in front of Zhu Sijia and others, sincerely admitted that he had deceived others, and also sincerely asked Zhu Sijia to marry Zhu Ya.
Zhu Sijia said indifferently: "What I have said does not count. What the prince should ask is the opinion of Miss Zhu, the person involved."
Although she said she didn't care, the way she looked at Yan Wei was like looking at a dead person.
Yan Wei had never been so afraid of Zhu Sijia. He didn't expect that she, the emperor's sister-in-law, would not imitate the good and the bad, but would just imitate Yan Xiu's way of judging people.
Zhu Ya was so angry that he had stars in her eyes, and for a moment she was speechless.
Yan Xiu was not interested in other people's trivial matters, so he took Zhu Sijia to spend the night with him in Tai Chi Palace.
On the warm and familiar bed, Yan Xiu asked Zhu Sijia: "Is Cicada so reluctant to let Miss Zhu go?"
Zhu Sijia's smile gradually dissipated, and she turned her back to Yan Xiu: "If your Majesty is a matchmaker for King Xiang, you don't have to continue chatting with me."
With Yan Wei's status, it would be easy for him to marry any woman in the world, but Zhu Sijia just didn't want him to force Zhu Ya to marry him through coercion and inducement.
As for the powerful men, almost all of them were united on this point. Zhu Sijia could not guarantee that Yan Xiu would not directly grant marriage to the two of them.
Yan Xiu turned her over: "Don't be angry, cicada, that's not what I want to say."
Zhu Sijia: "That is?"
Yan Xiu: "When the New Taipei Academy is completed, I want Miss Zhu to serve as the president of the New Taipei Academy and be officially appointed as a court official. But in this way, you will have no one to take care of you. I'm afraid you won't get used to it."
Zhu Scarlett silently lowered her eyelashes, which were as long as feathers and covered her countless emotions.
Zhu Ya was saved by her own hands, and she was personally chosen to be by her side. Although the two had only known each other for a year, Zhu Sijia had to admit that Zhu Ya was not born to be a slave.
She is so smart and so transparent. If she becomes a female official and sets a precedent, she will only find more and better ways for the people of Qin and women all over the world.
I wish Scarlett has no shortage of people around her now, but she still has a lot of things to do.
If Zhu Ya suddenly left her, and Zhu Ya's advice would be missing from many things, what would she do?
Zhu Sijia suddenly thought of Suiyu again.
While Zhu Ya was away from her, she often asked Suiyu to run errands, but Suiyu was a man after all and it was not appropriate to have too much contact with her.
I wish Scarlett's mind was going crazy.
Yan Xiu saw that she was in a dilemma and coaxed her: "If Cicada is unwilling, I will reconsider the candidate for the head of the hospital and let Miss Zhu stay with you all the time."
"No." In the end, reason and morality prevailed, and Zhu Sijia said almost without hesitation, "How could I miss her great future? Officialdom is not a child's play. I am just worried that as a woman, she will not be able to do anything in the court. What kind of challenges and twists and turns.”
Since her rebirth, she has indirectly harmed many people for revenge and created too much karma, which she may not be able to finish in her next life.
She didn't want Zhu Ya to be trapped any longer.
Yan Xiu stretched out his hand and turned off the light: "Okay, if you make up your mind, I will talk to her about the relevant matters in detail tomorrow, so you can sleep peacefully."
Early the next morning.
After Yan Xiu went to court, Zhu Sijia returned directly to Changle Palace.
She looked so miserable that she didn't need to pay her respects today. No one would disturb her tranquility in the early morning.
Sitting on the main seat of Changle Palace, Zhu Sijia looked at all the furnishings in the palace. She had never felt such a sense of defeat before. Facing the torrent of fate, she seemed to be nothing, and she seemed to be unable to change anything.
Why didn't anyone just cut Yan Xing and Zhu Siyi into pieces?
Not long after she sat down, Zhu Ya entered the main hall humming a little tune. Seeing her, Zhu Ya said hello sweetly:
"Why are you back now? I just wanted to send a chariot to pick you up."
Zhu Sijia smiled sadly, and asked Zhu Ya feebly: "What did you and King Xiang talk about last night?"
If Yan Wei insisted on using strong methods to marry her, she wouldn't be as happy as she was this morning.
Zhu Ya pretended to be relaxed: "Of course I tell the truth from my heart. I look down on self-righteous men. He said he would change, so I told him to come back to me after he changes."
Zhu Sijia suddenly talked about something else: "Do you remember that when you first came to the palace to accompany me, your knees were stiff even when you knelt down to me. But after you stayed in the palace for a long time, the slaves came from you one by one. When it comes out of your mouth, it no longer has the same rawness as before.”
She smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that what she hated most about Yan Xing in her previous life was that he had turned her into someone else, someone completely different from her.
But now she is doing the same thing as Yan Xing.
Zhu Ya's smile faded: "Mother, I don't understand you..."
Zhu Sijia sighed, and when she raised her head, her tired eyes were full of tears. She called Zhu Ya to sit next to her, and tremblingly stuffed a pill into her hand:
"I can't make any more mistakes. Likewise, I can't trap a high-flying eagle in the cage of the palace. Zhu Ya, this is the final antidote to the poison in your body. Today I give it to you. From today on, you are free."
Zhu Ya carefully took the medicine with disbelief in her eyes. She didn't understand why Zhu Sijia went to Tai Chi Palace and came back with such a big change.
"Is this slave not doing enough?" Zhu Ya stared at the pills, her voice choked with sobs, "Why did the empress suddenly abandon this slave?"
If Zhu Sijia really lets her go free, what will Zhu Sijia do in the palace after she leaves?
Zhu Sijia: "From now on, in front of me, don't call yourself slave, let alone minister. You are yourself. Zhu Ya, we are best friends. We are born equal, aren't we?"
Zhu Ya: "What does the minister mean by the empress?"
Zhu Sijia tells the truth about Yan Xiu's plan to make her a female officer.
Zhu Ya's eyes turned red when she heard what was happening behind her. She covered her mouth and tried not to cry too loudly.
She has survived, and she has clearly achieved the greatest achievement a woman can achieve in ancient feudal society. But at this moment of success and fame, why is she so sad?
Traveling across time with a human body was the most unlucky thing that had ever happened to her, but the first person she met was Zhu Sijia, which was also the luckiest thing in her life.
Zhu Sijia is undoubtedly his sweetheart. She is still so young and has been domesticated and raised by various ancient rules since she was a child, but she can be infected and awakened again and again.
Now he even tells her directly that the two of them should be born equal.
Zhu Ya was happy for Zhu Sijia, but also felt pain for Zhu Sijia. It was too painful to slowly breed a new soul in her flesh and blood.
But Zhu Sijia was right, she could not remain a slave in the palace for the rest of her life. She wanted to walk into the court with her head held high and create more paths for women.
Zhu Ya chose to swallow the antidote without hesitation and kowtowed to Zhu Sijia solemnly: "Zhu Ya, thank you for your care."
