The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 285
Shao Zhiyan took a deep breath, and slowly approached Su Wanqiu: "It's not that uncle wants to belong to King Huaisi, but that uncle wants to support a well-behaved son who doesn't have any family background to check and balance King Huaisi. But Uncle didn't think about it. It's because there is nothing, so he couldn't stand up as quickly as King Waisi did back then."

"And do you know? The rise of King Waisi was because the uncle wanted to use him to check and balance the elder brother of the prince. It is estimated that everyone in the court could see this. But only the elder brother believed that the uncle wanted someone to share some of the burden." His burden. It’s just that I was young and believed in family affection. So I didn’t see through it. Just like when you told me that uncle might want to kill the donkey, but I firmly didn’t believe it.”

"It's just that my legs are disabled. As I get older, I gradually figured out many things." Having said this, Shao Zhiyan took a deep breath, "For example, why do everyone oppose my investigation of the prince's brother?" Cause of death? For example, the conversation I overheard outside my father’s study. I know about this, and Wusheng has already told you about it. Maybe I was a little puzzled back then. Still have some faith."

"But now I have to have doubts about my uncle and my father. They are both hiding things. They are even trying to provoke each other's relationship with me. And what is the purpose of all this? Is it really just the power in my hands? And do you care about the high but cold seat?" Speaking of this.Shao Zhiyan turned around again, looking at the dark night sky in the distance.He stretched out his hand to support the window sill that had been lowered by half a foot.

It seemed that the singing and dancing downstairs had nothing to do with their world.Su Wanqiu continued to listen to Shao Zhiyan's narration: "Last time I told you that I often live in Ruiwenzhai. Part of the reason is because my father always persecutes me. He wants me to get out of the shadow of my broken leg." Come out. But in fact, the more reason is that I don't know how to face him."

"Because I know that on the day I got into the wheelchair, he slandered my uncle so bluntly with Uncle Kang in front of me. This made me shake a lot after thinking about it later. He always told me that he and his mother He is a childhood sweetheart, they love each other, and the husband and wife are deeply in love. So he is willing to let go of the rights in his hands to become a son-in-law for his mother. He said that although his mother died, he could guard his body like a jade for his mother and guard the vacant house alone. But what? Although he is not guarding the city by the tree now, But the military power is tight. He said that he would guard the vacant house for his mother. Now he is forced to marry a wife and concubine due to family pressure. To be honest, I really can’t believe what the old man said now.”

"And uncle? Even my own son feels that he is threatened. What's more, I'm just his nephew. And the death of the prince's brother is obviously full of doubts. But everyone believed the unconvincing result. Isn't there no uncle So after returning to Beijing that time, no matter how hard I tried, I wanted the people around me to help me investigate the death of the prince’s brother. But no one agreed to help me, and even stopped me from investigating. I understood and believed At that time, the ruthless sentence you said to me was the emperor's family."

"So I believed most of the slander my father and Uncle Kang made at that time. It was only when I calmed down and analyzed it carefully that I realized that maybe my legs were the bargaining chip between my father and uncle." Shao Zhiyan said. He looked down at his legs.Su Wanqiu also looked at Shao Zhirong with some sadness.

It turned out that he knew everything.It's just that he buried all of this in his heart, and still pretended not to know anything.

If the dream I once had was true.At that time, Shao Zhiyan truly believed in the relationship of flesh and blood.At that time, Shao Zhiyan naively thought that his uncle was because of his blood relationship with him.And Duke Hu is the emperor's brother-in-law, so he trusts their family so much.That's why they let the Lord Protector hold heavy soldiers.

But like I said in my dream.How can the emperor allow others to make great achievements?So just as I thought, Shao Zhirong's legs might really be the final result of the contest between the Duke and the Emperor.It's just that she thought that Shao Zhiyan would not think of this level because of his blood relationship.Unexpectedly, he was very transparent.

After Shao Zhiyan looked at his own legs, he looked at Su Wanqiu with a complicated expression.Shao Zhiyan wanted to say to Su Wanqiu: So even without you and my legs back then, my legs might have been broken.It might even be not just his leg that was broken, but his own life.Maybe it was because of her buffer that year, so I just broke a pair of legs.It's just that he knows that Su Wanqiu has already forgotten these things.And he can't say these words now.

Su Wanqiu was a little puzzled by Shao Zhiyan's look, so she gave him a questioning look.Shao Zhiyan smiled and continued: "So there is another reason why I don't want to cure my legs. I don't know what is the point of curing my legs? Uncle doesn't really want us He guards the country. My father wants to continue to hold the military power, so my legs are the trust he pledged to his uncle."

"But I'm not the only male in this Huguo Mansion. The second brother from Aunt Xie and the third brother from Aunt Xi are also children of the father. The second brother has entered the city defense camp since last year. Although the third brother In the eyes of his father and Aunt Xi, nothing can be achieved. But after all, he is the cousin of King Waisi. Naturally, he is closer to King Waisi, and he is even trusted by King Waisi. They continued their relationship as if they were not affected by anything. Live. Continue their future. Only I have nothing. It is impossible to say that I don’t hate.”

Having said this, Shao Zhiyan smiled bitterly, and turned to look at Su Wanqiu.And Su Wanqiu looked at him with eyes full of heartache.He returned a comforting smile and continued: "It's okay, I have already thought about many things. After all, those 12 years of happiness are real. Those 12 years of parenting are also real. Whether it is uncle or father. At least in the From my point of view, those 12 years were honest. Even if it wasn’t true, at least I felt it was true.”

"So I'm willing to use these legs as a balance between the two of them. As a link between the two of them. So it doesn't matter if my leg doesn't heal. And I don't know. What good would my leg be if I healed it? This country doesn’t need me. This court doesn’t need me. Maybe even this duke’s mansion doesn’t need me. Like you said. I have the ability to protect myself. Alright. So why bother doing all that futile work?"
