He would never pass the throne to such a son.
If he was allowed to succeed, wouldn't it mean that the aristocratic families would rule the world together?
Emperor Zhou handed the secret edict to Liang Jing'an. Thinking of his hard work, he inevitably complained, saying that you said at the beginning that you were willing to give everything for the integrity of the country and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Liang Jing'an also resented the Zhou emperor's style of surrendering before any confrontation.
He was holding fire in his heart and said bluntly: I guard the border to prevent others from invading, but not to drive away the enemy's troops and allow ordinary people to be bullied and exploited by our own people.
Emperor Zhou's face turned pale and red, and finally he just sighed.
The monarch and his ministers who were so close back then finally developed a gap.
But even if there is a rift, there is only one person he can trust.
Emperor Zhou knew that no matter what, Liang Jing'an would never rebel or conspire, and he was an upright man worthy of trust.
——
Lu Yan woke up leisurely three days after taking the medicine.
He seemed to have had a long dream. After knowing that he was poisoned, he was filled with unwillingness from the beginning.
I don’t want years of planning to end up in vain.
Later, I gradually felt relieved. At least I had Lin Xi by my side before I died. From now on, people burning paper during the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival will not be regarded as lonely ghosts.
I wonder if she will be sad if she dies.
There will still be some, but it may not last long.
That damn Liang Qian will definitely be very happy, after all, he is looking forward to marrying Lin Xi back after his death.
Maybe Lin Xi marrying that boy looks good to others... even though he doesn't want to and doesn't like it.
By that time, he had long since turned into a pile of bones. Who would listen to the objections of a pile of bones?
Forget it, she just needs to be happy.
Lu Yan felt relieved, but at the same time he was unwilling.
When Yi Yi fell into a coma, Lu Yan felt someone pick up his hand and write three words on the palm: Okay.
He knew that was Lin Xi...
She wanted to live, not die.
Lu Yan started to worry again.
He was afraid that she would forget about him all at once, and he was also afraid that she would always feel sorry for him.
At the moment of his death, everything in the past is just a passing thing, and all he thinks about in his heart is Lin Xi.
This woman... really made him feel uncomfortable even when he died.
…
When Lu Yan woke up, he didn't know if it was a dream or reality.
After he recovered, he stretched his arms and sat up from the bed. His first thought was to find Lin Xi.
Before I even got out of bed, several people walked in.
The maid noticed that her uncle showed signs of waking up and immediately ran to notify He Chirang.
The Duke of Guo is ordering troops and will set off on a long journey tomorrow.
The people who can make the decisions in the house now are naturally He Chirang and Miss Taxue.
The two of them arrived at the first opportunity, met each other at the entrance of the courtyard, and walked in in unison.
Lu Yan asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is she?"
Although he hasn't figured out what the situation is yet, he also knows that Lin Xi must be the one to rescue him.
He Chirang: "It's in the room next to yours. When you wake up, you can see her for the last time."
Lu Yan suspected that he heard wrongly? What...the last one?
His heart tightened, he got off the bed and ran out in a hurry.
Pushing open the door next door, Lu Yan saw someone lying on the bed and unconsciously slowed down.
When he walked to the bed and saw the person on the bed clearly, he couldn't help but hold his breath.
Lu Yan reached out and pushed Lin Xi. She lay quietly on the bed without moving.
He pushed harder, but still didn't move, and finally realized something was wrong.
"lady?"
Lin Xi still had her eyes closed, her expression calm.
Lu Yan reached out and held her in his arms: "Why are you still sleeping? Can you wake up and go back to sleep later?"
The person in his arms remained motionless, and Lu Yan's heart seemed to be tightened tightly by an invisible hand.
He finally noticed something was wrong.
He Chirang walked in and said in a calm voice: "The poison in you is very difficult to cure. Lin Xi searched for famous doctors, and finally found a way, which was to induce the poison in you to himself."
Lu Yan looked in disbelief: "You actually agreed? I don't need her to do this!"
He Chirang: "Of course I don't agree, and no one agrees. But you should know that as long as Lin Xi makes up his mind to do something, no one can stop him."
Lu Yan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the veins in the hand holding the person were prominent. The heart-pounding pain gradually spread to his limbs and bones, and the blood in his whole body was burning.
Just now I thought I had escaped, but it turned out that I had fallen into another hell.
He doesn't need Lin Xi to do this!
When he subconsciously pushed her away at the moment of life and death, he knew that he had long been deeply in love. In the world without her, I would have nothing to miss.
Why on earth would she do this?
Lu Yan looked down at the man with his eyes closed tightly, his face as peaceful as if he was sleeping.
His chest felt as if a thousand pounds were being pressed down on him, and he felt a hot and sticky liquid pouring out of his throat.
In grief, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Rather than sacrifice for himself, he would rather she be safe and sound for the rest of her life.
Why?
Texue looked a little unbearable, why would the eldest son lie to him like this...
But I couldn't bear it at all and didn't say anything. After all, nothing is more important than the eldest lady or the Duke's mansion.
Lu Yan fell into a huge panic. He always felt that He Zhirang had lied to him.
But Lin Xi couldn't wake up, which made him unable to calm down and think at all.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yan raised his head and asked in an obscure voice, "You are lying to me, right?"
He Chirang raised his eyelids: "Yes, I lied to you."
He just wants the other person to remember how he feels at this moment and treat Maomao well in the future.
There is no way, who made Maomao like this person.
Lu Yan was shocked at first, and then fell into ecstasy.
He asked in a trembling voice: "So why doesn't she wake up?"
"Your poison is not easy to cure, and you were too weak at the time to take medicine directly. You can only have someone else take the antidote first, and then use her blood to heal you. This middleman must be someone you truly trust, so this matter He can only do things.”
After a pause, He Chirang frowned: "I took two full bowls of Maomao's blood."
Texue took a step forward: "You don't have to blame the eldest son for lying to you. It was the eminent monk who treated you who told you to spit out the blood accumulated in your chest in order to recover."
Although acupuncture can be performed, there is absolutely no need to make people vomit blood alive...
He Chirang did it on purpose. Whenever he thought about getting those two bowls of blood from Maomao, he would itch with hatred.
This brat is really good at pretending.
Lu Yan asked cautiously: "Then...when will she wake up."
Texue: "The antidote is just poison, and it is very toxic. It is said that you need to rest carefully for a few years, and it will take about a year to wake up."
Lu Yan's throat rolled: "Can I take her away?"
He Chirang sneered: "Don't even think about it."
He always had a grudge against this person's concealment, but his sister liked him.
Before Lin Xi drank the antidote, she repeatedly told them not to make it difficult for Lu Yan who woke up...
Thinking of this, He Chirang softened his expression.
"Maomao is now weak. It is safer to follow us than to follow you."
Lu Yan: "Then can I stay with her all the time?"
"Do you think it fits?"
After a pause, He Chirang said patiently: "No, don't you have your own things to do? Humph, my Maomao initially promised you not because of your high status. She is different from ordinary little girls. Being different may not make you a good wife, and you know this. Don’t expect that if your identity changes in the future, she will change."
Texue: "Yes, the eldest lady doesn't like to be restrained."
She was actually a little surprised at He Chirang's harsh words.
"Even if the words are ugly, I still want to say that Maomao may no longer be your wife one day, but she will always be my sister and our relative. If you can't treat her wholeheartedly and always think about her, then... Don’t come to her again.”
With Lu Yan's wolfish ambition, the depth of the city and his ruthless attacks.
What he planned was of course not a problem.
But so what, he didn't think this was a good thing for Lin Xi.
Maomao's character is simply not suitable for getting involved in turbulent struggles.
Having a distinguished status does not necessarily mean you will live a happy life.
If he had known that this person's identity was so complicated, he would never have agreed to the marriage.
