Chapter 2467 Reconciliation 9.0

"Just stay in the river for a while and he'll be fine?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin, glanced at Wanyan Xi, and said, "According to what you said, can I understand that the amount you gave him was not as large as imagined? You just wanted to make Young Master Qi feel uncomfortable for a while, right? After all, if it was a normal amount, it wouldn't just take a while in the river to do it."

"Yes, I still have some sense."

"Really?" Dai Yi looked at his brother with suspicion. "Do you have the sense to do such a thing as drugging an innocent person for no reason? Young Master Qi and you probably don't have much in common, and you don't have any grudges against each other, right? If Yeluertu doesn't help you, you can just take revenge on him or his son or nephew. Why take it out on Young Master Qi?"

"It's appropriate, but not too much. Besides," Wanyan Xi raised an eyebrow, "Although an innocent person was affected, he is not that innocent. His father was the one who wanted to throw me out. It's not too much for me to take a little revenge on his son, right?"

"Master Qi actually has such an opinion?"

"Yes, he thought I was a nuisance and shouldn't stay in Linhuang Mansion. He should be expelled. But they were worried that if they really expelled me, it might cause even bigger troubles, so they had no choice but to let me stay in the Regent's Mansion." Wanyan Xi sighed, "However, even though it was revenge, I was also a little bit sensible. After all, I was living under someone else's roof at the time, with a bleak future. I had no idea how long I would have to live in the Regent's Mansion in the future. How could it be really too much? If Young Master Qi really had an accident, I would have been gone long ago."

"So even though you were a bit of a jerk at the time, you still had some points."

"Yes, but not much." Xue Ruitian sneered and said, "If you really knew, you wouldn't retaliate so openly."

"If I were to choose now, I would still take revenge openly. If I don't let them know who it is, what's the point of revenge?" Wanyan Xi chuckled, "And the amount I gave him might just make him feel uncomfortable for a while, no more than a cup of tea at most." He gestured with his hand and continued, "In fact, it's just a little bit of powder, which won't cause much impact. Besides, given my situation in Linhuang Prefecture, I can't get too much of that stuff. If it's really a normal amount, it would probably be discovered before it was even put into the other person's bowl. Wouldn't my plan be aborted? I'm definitely not that stupid, am I?"

"You are just playing tricks on me because you are angry, right?"

"That's one aspect." Wan Yanxi nodded, "Another point is that my thinking back then was a bit simple and naive."

"Oh? How simple and naive? Tell me."

"What I was thinking at the time was that Young Master Qi is the person Yelu Nan cares about the most. If he is sick or uncomfortable, then Yelu Nan will empathize with him and feel as sad as he does. Similarly, if Yelu Ertu sees his son so uncomfortable, he will not feel much better. In order to prevent his son and the people his son cares about from being so sad, he will agree to my request so that I don't have to continue to make trouble. But..."

"You are totally wrong. Things did not develop as you thought, right?" Seeing Wanyan Xi nod, Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly and said, "Didn't you know that the relationship between father and son was very bad? The hatred between them is much greater than that between ordinary enemies. Yelu Ertu didn't want his son and nephew to have the possibility of inheriting the throne, so he appointed a regent for himself. Yelu Nan is in the same camp as Yelu Lan, and he tried his best to ensure that Yelu Lan became the King of Liao."

"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "It can be said that it is a fight to the death."

"I knew at the time that their relationship was not good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. I don't understand why the father and son would be so hostile to each other. Even if they have different positions, their interests are actually the same. Whether Yelu Ertu himself is the King of Liao, or Master Yelu Lan is the King, the essence is the same." "Human greed is greedy. Before you left Linhuang Prefecture, Yelu Ertu's health was not very good, right?"

"Yes!" Wanyan Xi nodded. "Before I was about to leave Linhuang Prefecture, I went to the Liao Palace to see him. At that time, he was already very ill." He thought for a moment and said, "Although he had been trying to keep his spirits up and pretend that he was completely fine, he actually spoke weakly. In order to prevent others from noticing that he was dying, he even used a curtain to separate us so that I could not see his true appearance."

"Hmm!" Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other after hearing Wanyan Xi's words. "It was the same before we left Linhuang Prefecture last time. Yeluertu was already terminally ill at that time and refused to show up in public. However, even in such a situation, he was unwilling to give up power and move out of the palace. This shows how strong his desire for power and control is. In his opinion, only the power in his own hands is real power, and everything else is not."

"Even if it's his own son and nephew?" Wanyan Xi saw Shen Cha nod and shrugged helplessly, "I didn't know this before. If I knew, I wouldn't have done such a thing. Even if I knew, I wouldn't have thought that Yeluertu could turn a blind eye to the plight of his own son. He is so cold-blooded and ruthless. Even in the royal family, such a situation is rare."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"You don't know how terrifying Yeluertu was before. He has spies throughout the entire Linhuang Prefecture, so naturally, what I did would not be hidden from his eyes. Similarly, he also knew very well what my intention was. So, when I made a fuss, like this time when I tormented Young Master Qi, he came to my room to see me after I woke up and warned me not to do anything wrong. No matter how much trouble I made, his decision could not be changed."

"That's what he said?"

"Yes!" Wanyan Xi nodded. "More than that, he made it very clear. It is absolutely impossible for me to use Yelu Nan to make him feel uncomfortable, because their relationship is not good. Not only that, but they both hope that the other will die without a burial place."

"He is quite frank and doesn't shy away from you at all." Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly, "But he is right. Your approach is indeed problematic."

"Yes!" Wanyan Xi nodded, "So, no matter how much I struggled later, it was just to vent my anger. The most important thing is..."

"what?"

"I don't know why, but I seem to have developed a tacit understanding with Yelu Nan and Young Master Qi."

"Understanding? What understanding?"

"We make a scene from time to time and cause trouble for Yeluertu."
