Chapter 668 Resignation ([-])

(PS: The great god said that the author's crazy daily routine has been updated, so please go and laugh, cute, hahahaha)

Shen Ye smiled and sat next to Wanyu, took the teacup and put it in clean water to wipe it carefully, then added a cup of warm black tea and handed it to Wanyu, saying: "My lady is here to look for this minister, is there any help?" something important?"

Wanyu glanced at him, and turned the teacup slightly with her hands: "Brother Lingyou, you and I have known each other since we were young, and you know that I never like to beat around the bush. I came today to ask you to say something. Now I am an official in the court. , can you be happy?"

Shen Ye nodded with a slight smile, and Wan Yu said again: "You served the former court as an official, in order to have a few words with the emperor, but it was also for me?"

She spoke bluntly, making Shen Ye slightly taken aback.

He looked uneasy and panicked, and hurriedly interrupted and said: "The officials who seek wealth and future are not all for the sake of the empress."

Wan Yu looked at the white hot air rising from the teacup, and it made her eyes ache slightly when it puffed on her eyelids.

After such a moment of silence, Fang looked up to meet Shen Ye, and said solemnly: "If I want you to resign and return to your hometown for me, would you be willing?"

"Resign?" Shen Ye was a bit puzzled: "Why did your mother say such a thing?"

"You can't stay in this palace any longer." Wan Lai sat sideways, fiddled with the dimming candle with a bamboo stick, and picked it up: "That day when I was with you in the abandoned pavilion to pay respects to my uncle, I heard the movement. I saw a hare, but how could I know that apart from the hare, there are also annoying flies. And that fly is none other than Concubine Jia."

"Concubine Jia?" Shen Ye called out her name full of surprise, thinking of the madness she did in her verandah in the past, she couldn't help but shudder.

As far as he is concerned, what Zhuo Lan sees is meaningless, and he is never afraid of others talking about him.

But if it's a matter of tact, it's another matter.

He thought about it carefully, then looked straight at Wanyu: "She threatened you?"

Concerned about chaos, but also lost etiquette.

The sound of "you" seemed to drag the relationship back to the days when they were in Niu Hulu's mansion. The two were brother and sister, and they had the same ignorant thoughts.

How could he have expected at that time that this matter has been ignorant for more than [-] years, and now it is still foggy?

Wan Yu lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "She intends to flirt, you are Yun Xi's biological father."

"nonsense!"

Shen Ye nearly jumped up from his seat, anger spreading undisguisedly from the corners of his eyes and brows.

He clenched his fists on the rough wooden table, frowned resentfully and said: "How can your reputation allow her to slander you so much? Even if she said it, would the emperor believe it?"

Wanyu looked at his trembling and red fists, felt a tug in her heart, and said with a bit of pity: "Don't hurt yourself." Then she laughed at herself: "You don't know how suspicious the emperor is. When I first entered the palace, You and I have caused so many inexplicable things that he has been suspicious for a long time. Now that I think about it, he and I are estranged from each other to the point of freezing, how can he trust me? It's just..."

She stopped for a while, looked at Shen Ye with a serious expression, and said carefully, "It's just that my reputation is not worth worrying about. I'm afraid that if this matter breaks out, you won't even be able to save your life."

Shen Ye shook his head, still smiling like that, waved his hands and said, "I'm so close to you, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not joking with you now!" Seeing him like this, Wan Yu felt a little anxious in her heart, and raised her tone to hide worry and anger: "I want you to live, do you understand?"

Shen Ye was stunned, gradually restrained his smile, then heaved a long sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "Why don't I understand your thoughts? If resigning from office can protect you, I would be willing to leave the palace and escape far away. But If I leave, this deep palace is full of thorns and sharp knives, how can you survive alone? I heard that the emperor has given the concubine Jia the right to assist the sixth palace. You are evenly matched. He is already obsessed with the concubine Jia, and you have long been out of place in his heart. If you have been like this for a long time, how should you deal with yourself?"

The candlelight reflected Shen Ye's face as warm and moist as a fine jade in the rough. His earnest words came from the bottom of his heart, but they were all for her, not mentioning himself at all.

Wan Yu was quite moved, but she knew better that she was trapped in this golden cage, and she would never be able to get out of the sky in her whole life.

But Shen Ye was different. To him, the Forbidden City was just a tight trap for him because of where he was. He could have no such burdens.

She looked at the candlelight with clear eyes, and said coldly: "Then do you think it makes any difference whether you are with me or not? You are only a third-rank military general, and it is not your turn to say a word about the previous affairs, so how can you get involved?" Emperor's family background? A careless word at that time will not only implicate you, but also me and Yin will be implicated by you!"

Hearing what she said, Shen Ye was speechless for a moment.

Wan Yu was silent for a moment, resisting the pain in her heart, and said more and more fiercely: "I know your intentions, but have you ever asked if what you gave is what I want? Do you know that you have been in love all these years? My self-indulgent sentimentality has already brought me a lot of troubles, if the emperor is suspicious of me again because of the concubine's random relationship with each other, I will really have nowhere to go, and the only way out is to die!"

She raised her eyes and stared at Shen Ye, her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to ooze blood, emitting a cold light that she couldn't look directly at: "What you and I have is the brother-sister friendship when we were young. But this friendship, when Ama sent you to the Forbidden City Day, it should be broken. Later when I entered the palace, you were already Shen Ye, not Lingyou. The relationship between me and you should have been the most ordinary relationship between monarch and minister. Why do I keep repeating this every time I see you, But you always pretend to be ignorant and only want to be comfortable, which makes me embarrassed?"

Wan Yu took a deep breath, held back the tears in her eyes, and said sharply, "This is what you call love? So selfish, but you call it love?"

After hearing this, Shen Ye gave an 'hmm' with a smile, his eyes still filled with infinite spring waves, bit by bit he devoured the softest part of Wan Lai's heart.

She turned her head away and didn't dare to look at it again, for fear that the next moment, tears would burst out of her eyes.

"Finished?" Shen Ye asked.

Wan Yu couldn't help shaking her head: "If you are for me, then find an opportunity to resign and return home as soon as possible."

Before the words finished, he heard him laughing behind him and said: "I'll follow you, but don't cry. You know, I can't see you cry."

This very light sentence can be regarded as completely disintegrating the inner defense line that Wan Lai had built so easily.

She resisted, but her shoulders trembled involuntarily with the sound of sobbing.

Shen Ye's warm palms pressed against her thin shoulder blades, almost tore through the thin cloak and became one with her skin.

After a long time, when the mood calmed down a bit, Shen Ye said in a low voice: "Wan'er, protect yourself."

The voice echoed lightly in my ears, and with the breeze, it went straight into the cochlea and reached the ventricle.

Wan Lai responded in a low voice, only feeling a burst of warmth in her waist.She lowered her head, seeing Shen Ye hugging her from behind like this.

This is an out-of-the-ordinary physical contact after having known each other for thirty years.

She only felt warm, closed her eyes and shed tears.
