The rainwater continued to slide down Li Shanci's face. She opened her bloodshot eyes wide and looked at Yun Si with a strange smile on her face.
"Don't you feel ashamed? You married the King of Chu, and you want to be with his uncle. What does a marriage contract mean to you? Morality, etiquette, and ethics in your eyes, what do they mean? ? What does a best friend mean to you? You didn’t care about our engagement, and you were so unscrupulous even before the engagement was terminated. Yun Si, you disgust me!"
Li Shanci suppressed her voice, not daring to let others hear her.
Huo Ying, who was beside Huo Shenzhi, immediately said: "Marriage is a matter of your will and my will. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the princess is so stubborn. She retreats when she has the chance, but she comforts herself and keeps moving forward with imaginary hope. You If one-sided love requires everyone to pay for your willfulness and ignorance, then if a heinous man likes you in the future, will you have to give up what you like and follow him while adhering to the three obediences and four virtues?"
Of course Li Shanci didn't want to.
But another meaning of double standards is selfishness.
Morality and etiquette, whether they are light or heavy, only favor oneself.
"Princess."
Yun Si, who had been silent, stretched out her hand towards Li Shanci for the only and last time: "You are a high-ranking princess of a country, and your status is nobler than mine. Don't give up your true heart for a man."
Li Shanci pushed Yun Si's hand away.
Little did she know that with just this push, she completely fell into the abyss of desire and began to torture herself.
"If one day he gets tired of you and your relationship is not tolerated by the world, and the family is even shamed because of your relationship, can you still say such things?"
Yun Si raised her chin, and her eyes were firmer than ever before: "If one day the man I like stops loving me, I will look back immediately, stop the loss in time, and never stay any longer!"
Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, torturing yourself because of someone you don't love is stupid.
"Sister!" Li Yu came.
Drenched all over, he walked up to Li Shanci and held her shoulders: "All this happened because of me. I pampered you and always wondered if others could pamper you like me. It's all my fault, as is anyone else's. It doesn't matter. When you go back, you just want your brother's life to calm down your anger, and your brother is willing to do it."
Li Shanci, who was slumped on the ground, raised his hand and waved Li Yu away. He glanced at Li Yu with the same disgusted eyes, and then glanced at everyone.
Finally, it fell on Huo Shenzhi.
Her heart has been given away, and if others don't want it, she can't take it back.
Yun Si watched Li Shanci slowly and quietly leave, and the light in her eyes dimmed.
There is no one else in the main hall.
Huo Shenzhi held her hand, his calm voice mixed with the sound of rain falling to the ground: "If there is retribution, it will be all on me."
Yun Si raised her head and looked at him.
The wind quieted down and the rain stopped.
Yun Si returned to the medicine hall.
Kong Qing couldn't help but ask her: "Master, if one day, Master, before you can reach the top, your relationship with Master Jiu will break down to the point where a slight gust of wind blows over, the whole city will know about it, and the family will be harmed." Where are your relatives?"
Yun Si picked up the pen, with no emotion in her eyes, but her voice was unusually sober: "Huo Lianyi once enjoyed the status of the third princess, and also shouldered the responsibility of marrying far away. Now Princess Huai can die to prove her innocence for the sake of her family. She is still alive. , it’s not just love between men and women. When everything is not clear yet, you can work hard, but if it affects the family’s honor, you can no longer go your own way.”
"I accepted the identity of the legitimate daughter of the Yun family. Anyway, this identity has given me a lot of foundation. Enjoying it, but not wanting to pay, loving only for your own love, that is selfish, disgusting, and stupid inferior."
She is not a lover. She was born in the future, and she can pursue anything if she is divorced, but in the present, everything must be based on the present.
Kong Qing also likes such a master who can take the overall situation into consideration and is willing to fight for it at an undecided time.
At the same time, inside Fengyi Palace.
Emperor Wu Zong was furious and did not expect Huo Shenzhi to propose such conditions.
"This condition has been put forward. If I cannot meet it, what will the soldiers and the people think? As the king of a country, where can I put my face? Those officials have something to say again!"
Just when Emperor Wu Zong was about to say no, the people below came to report: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince said that if Your Majesty is not willing, he does not dare to take the risk of letting Yun Si go, and will send Yun Si back to Xizhou today. After all, it is I promised the Yun family's parents to keep Yun Si safe, so please don't make it difficult for him."
"They want me to write a letter of surrender, and they want my secret guards and gold medals, and they say it with such certainty!"
Emperor Wu Zong laughed angrily.
Eunuch Desheng knelt on the ground, fearing that he would be implicated: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is what the Ninth Prince requested, and it was the Sixth Miss who nodded and said 'yes'."
At this moment, Empress Zhou couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Yun Si is no longer the wild girl in the country before. She is a dignified daughter of the Yun family in Xizhou, with an extraordinary status. If Your Majesty asks her to follow the expedition and get hurt, then... not good."
Emperor Wu Zong turned coldly and looked at her: "What do you mean?"
Empress Zhou looked at the cold-faced Emperor Wu Zong and said cautiously: "It's better not to let the child go. I like her and asked her to come to the palace and spend more time with me."
"What do you know?" Emperor Wu Zong didn't know why, but he was a little impatient when he saw Queen Zhou recently.
Just seeing the shock in Queen Zhou's eyes, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said to her in a good voice: "I have no legitimate son. King Chu is very capable, but he is burdened by love. The way of an emperor lies in ruthlessness. His grind. And if he wants to achieve something, the best thing is to marry the legitimate daughter of the Yun family. This time I asked Yun Si to follow her, with the intention of 'matching up'."
Queen Zhou shuddered.
She knew that Emperor Wu Zong's so-called matchmaking was definitely not that simple.
"But Yun Si doesn't want to be with the King of Chu anymore... Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is now a commoner. It's better to record the King of Chu as your concubine, and she will be your noble legitimate son. When the time comes, find another high-ranking woman. …”
"You do not understand!"
Emperor Wu Zong looked at Empress Zhou with a bad expression: "It is easy for him to be the crown prince and become the heir apparent in the future. But it is not that simple to unify the world. The late emperor's wish was to unify the world."
Emperor Wu Zong was very thoughtful and had long taken a fancy to the power of the Yun family. Instead of marrying a princess of a country, an emperor would cultivate a vase early and send it to various places for marriage.
It would be better to marry Yun Si, who can bring the greatest benefit to King Chu in the future.
During this relationship, Emperor Wu Zong tried his best to suppress Huo Shenzhi, allowing his son to have more room to rise, fulfilling the late emperor's last wish in disguise.
Emperor Wu Zong thought for a moment and said: "If you have time, go to the palace with Yun Si and persuade Yun Si more, and explain the benefits to her carefully."
Queen Zhou watched Emperor Wu Zong sit and leave, feeling sour in her heart.
Qiuyue, the personal female officer, asked: "Empress, do you want to invite Miss Six?"
Queen Zhou looked ashen and said, "Bring me a message for Yun Si."
