Chapter 118

It was late at night, and Yu Wangyan and Xiao Sesu left Jiaolan Hall.

Although the weather is already very warm, Xiao Sesu's body is still a little cold.Yu Wangyan took off the cloak, covered Xiao Sesu's body, and helped her tie the belt.

His clothes must be a bit too big for the bleak clothes, but fortunately they didn't drag the floor, but you still have to be careful when you go down the steps.

Yu Wangyan held Xiao Sesu in his arms, and led her down the steps step by step, until she was completely on the ground, smiling reassuringly.

"Thurse, let's go back."

Just after saying this, Yu Wangyan caught a glimpse of a dark figure walking out from behind the trees in the dark.

When the man's face completely emerged from the dim light, the two were secretly startled.

Xiao Sesu blessed his body, "Father."

Yu Wangyan asked: "Father, haven't you already left first?" He remembered that his father left the Jiaolan Hall before a stick of incense.

"I'm waiting for you." King Jin's tone was inexplicably cold.

The bottom of Yu Wangyan's eyes darkened without a trace, and said: "I and Sese will return to the mansion with my father."

King Jin said coldly: "You ask someone to send Sese back first."

"Father..." A certain thought flashed deep in Yu Wangyan's mind, it was a little scary, he didn't dare to think deeply, but his face was calm, and he said: "Please wait a moment, Father."

"Forget the words, I'll just go out of the palace by myself." Xiao Sesu said, roughly understanding what the father and son wanted to talk about, she was not suitable to listen.

Yu Wangyan frowned and said, "You were frightened just now, I will send you to the palace gate."

"It's okay, forget the words, I can go by myself, and there are some guests, I just go with them." Xiao Sesu shook his head.

At this time, Princess Xunyang's shrill voice came from behind, and it seemed particularly noisy in this quiet imperial palace.

"King Jin, didn't I tell you to stay at your house at night? Why are you running so fast! Oh, King Jin is here too! Just in time, you father and son go talk, Xiao Sesu and I will go to your house first!"

Yu Wangyan stared at Princess Xunyang, who took it for granted and wore a bluffing smile.

King Xunyang was right behind her, with blue eyes, he looked at Yu Wangyan coldly, nodded to him without saying a word.

Xiao Sesu smiled softly: "Wangyan, don't worry, I'm fine with Princess Xunyang protecting me."

"That's right, how powerful I am!" Princess Xunyang was not polite, and ran over to hold Xiao Sesu's hand, "Okay, men talk about men, women talk about women, let's go!"

Thinking of the strength of Princess Xunyang, Yu Wangyan felt relieved, and after bowing to King Xunyang, he went towards King Jin.

The imperial palace at night is quiet, solemn, and terrifying.

A row of kissing beasts on the corners of the eaves cast a row of weird shadows by the moonlight, intertwined with the shadows of the trees, gloomy, highlighting the lonely and cold atmosphere to the extreme.

Stepping on the mottled shadows on the ground, the father and son walked one after the other.

Yu Wangyan followed King Jin, looking at his slightly hunched back, as if strolling, and led him to the lakeside without stopping for a long time.

Yu Wangyan still remembered that at the last palace banquet, he met Yu Qinghan and Yu Po's birth mother Rong Concubine by this lake.

King Jin stopped. His clothes were as thick as the color of the lake water. From Yu Wangyan's perspective, the two colors were indistinguishable.

King Jin turned around, stared at Yu Wangyan, and asked, "Have you visited your mother and concubine recently?"

Yu Wangyan said: "Since the matter of the last Minister of Dali Temple, I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity to sneak into the Qiushui Palace. I originally wanted to visit tonight."

"Tonight?" King Jin snorted in a low voice, "If I hadn't stopped you just now, tonight, you would have gone back directly with Xiao Sesel."

Yu Wangyan's tone sank, "What does the father mean by that?"

"Do you still need me to explain to you?" Jin Wang glanced at the ground, a stone at his feet, with sharp edges and corners.He kicked the stone into the lake with a loud thud, which was very loud in the quiet night.

"I made a mistake. I should have thought about it a long time ago. Maybe one day Xiao Sesu will no longer be a fool."

Yu Wangyan narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "I will not disclose these confidential matters to Se Se."

"You are afraid of getting her involved." Jin Wang said coldly.

"It's also because I'm afraid that my father will be troubled." Yu Wangyan replied.

"Is that so..." King Jin's tone was filled with disappointment and anger, and somehow there was an imperceptible resentment.

"Forget the words, these days, you have done a good job in the battle with the Zhao family in Huyang, which has increased our power and stabilized the Xiao family in Tangcheng... I have told you since you were a child that the family feud Deep as the sea, you should not have feelings for any other woman except your mother and concubine. Zhang Jinse's appearance has already made me very dissatisfied, and later I asked you to marry Xiao Sese because she is easy to manipulate. But now, Xiao Sese is smart. Isn't it dangerous to be smart? But you are confused by her, not knowing that the most dangerous thing in this world is to be emotional."

"Thurse won't hinder us." Yu Wangyan emphasized, "I guarantee it with my life."

In King Jin's eyes, the hatred became even sharper.He turned around and said in a low voice, "You are my son, you are my son. No one knows you better than me. With your infatuation, you shouldn't fall in love with Xiao Sesur. So, where is the current situation? Something went wrong..."

"Emotional matters, no one can say for sure."

"I still don't believe it." Jin Wang said coldly: "I even thought that you fell in love with Xiao Sese because... Zhang Jinse turned into her after death."

This last sentence made Yu Wangyan forget to breathe for an instant.The sudden coldness in his body was spreading to his thousands of veins.

He didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't dare to move, for fear that the slightest movement would reveal the frantic tremor in his heart.

Thurse's identity was something he had to hide no matter what.Especially when he knew that his father had murderous intentions towards Cather.In this case, if the royal father thinks about the level of returning the soul from the corpse, it will definitely become more embarrassing and complicated, and he will kill her.

He couldn't allow Catherine to suffer even the slightest bit of harm!

"Why don't you speak?" Jin Wang Youyou asked.

Yu Wangyan looked at his back, and when he spoke again, his voice was steady and calm, "I thought I wouldn't fall in love with Sese, but I was still moved by her."

"I was moved..." Jin Wang sighed disappointedly: "I am old, I think I understand you, but I still overestimated your restraint..."

Hearing this, Yu Wangyan felt relieved.It seems that the father was just talking casually just now, and didn't think of that level.

"Forget it, go visit your mother and concubine." Jin Wang was a little helpless.

Yu Wangyan said: "Father has a bad back, I will send you out of the palace first."

"No, I'll just stay here for a while." King Jin didn't look back.

Looking at the back of this dear one, looking so depressed under the night, Yu Wangyan suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.

Since childhood, he has never had a mother, and his father's side concubines never looked at him directly, their eyes were either resentment or fear.And their children seemed to be avoiding the plague god, as if they regarded him as a monster in the house.

At that time, he was instilled with hatred for Emperor Tianying day by day, so he longed to grow up so that he could overthrow the Yu clan and save his mother and concubine.

However, when everything was proceeding step by step, and today, when he was full-fledged and had his own ideas, his father was old and no longer expected him to be obedient.

Yu Wangyan felt sour in his heart, love is love, and family love is also love.

He loves Cather, and he also loves his father. It is precisely because of his love for his father that he has to ask about some things.

"Father, before leaving, I want to ask you something."

Yu Wangyan calmly confirmed that there was no one around, and said, "In the matter of placing assassins among the dancers, with the intention of assassinating the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the mastermind behind the scenes, but father?"

King Jin was silent.

"Is this an admission?" Yu Wangyan asked with a wry smile.

King Jin sighed, looked at his arm, and said, "I was stabbed in the arm, but you still suspect me."

Yu Wangyan said: "Father has something to say, no one knows a son better than a father. As a son, I also know my father."

Speaking of this, the tone became more serious, "Father, the enmity with the Yu family and Emperor Tianying is a personal grievance, but instigating the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Dayao will affect innocent people. I cannot agree with such actions."

King Jin said coldly: "Why can't you agree, what relationship do they have with you?"

Yu Wangyan's heart turned cold, and he said, "You can't disregard other people's lives for your own selfishness. If the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty died in Jiaolan Hall tonight, the Northern Wei Dynasty would use this as an excuse to start a war with Dayao. How many people will be displaced and lose their loved ones by then."

"So...you want to exterminate my relatives righteously and expose me?" King Jin asked coldly.

Yu Wangyan said calmly: "...Never! Heaven knows and the earth knows, you and I each know." The father, like Sese, is his closest relative.He is a person who values ​​affection and cannot put righteousness first.

"Father, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself." Yu Wangyan looked at King Jin's back, lowered his eyes, and bowed his hands to him, "We are fighting for power secretly, and we hurt people who are greedy for profit. The bet is to admit defeat. I will never kill their relatives and friends. But the war is ruthless, and tens of thousands of innocent people have been injured. I don't want to see my father and king do similar things again."

King Jin was speechless, as if he was still staring at the center of the lake, motionless.The wind blew his sleeves, and also sent his sighs to Yu Wangyan's ears.

"You have grown up, but I am old..."

The sour feeling made Yu Wangyan feel like drinking chronic poison, infecting the internal organs.

He let his father down, he didn't become a cold-blooded and heartless person.

But even so, he had to stick to his ideas and not let his father do wrong things.

"Okay, you go, your mother and concubine will go to bed later."

Yu Wangyan calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "Father, take care, take care of your wounds."

Along the desolate lakeside, gradually walking away, the roulette cast by the moonlight in the center of the lake is getting brighter and clearer.

Looking back at King Jin, who was still standing there, Yu Wangyan's heart felt sore again, and he turned around and quickened his pace.
