Chapter 259 Why Doesn't Her Death Make Me Easy?
I don't want to compromise, but I know how little my power is alone.

I don't have everyone's support, and even in the law of the king, I was accused of not wanting to accept a concubine.

I...everything I do is the party that is given up.In fact, I know that if I really want to nod and agree, they are only thinking of Nangongchen, because only if I nod, Nangongchen will not protest, and will not complain to them.

They are all very selfish people.
Yiyi patted me on the back, making all the palace people retreat, and even closing the door.

"What should I do, Yiyi, tell me, what should I do?"

She pulled me to sit down, sighed, and looked straight at me, "Yan Ran, the empress dowager will die soon."

I know, I know she's going to die, but she's going to die, and she's going to drag me into the water, where did I get her to hate?

"Chen'er and Ye got into a fight just now." Yiyi sighed, "I've never seen such a Chen'er, he doesn't compromise, not at all."

I lower my head, Yiyi, are you forcing me too...

"The Empress Dowager... Sigh, Yanran, are you really unwilling to retreat?"

I raised my head and looked directly at her, "Yiyi, do you want to force me?"

She frowned, "Forcing you?"
I pulled away the hand she was holding, "You and Nangong Ye are forcing me, forcing me to compromise, forcing me to agree, forcing me to nod, forcing me not to guard my love..."

"Yan Ran, why do you say that?"

"Is not it?"

"The Empress Dowager is about to die. This is her last wish before she died. As juniors, we have only been wronged for a year or so. Why not?"

"Then you can let Nangong Ye choose the concubine." I retorted angrily.

……

"I'm sorry, Yiyi, I..."

"Yan Ran, maybe I haven't thought through enough, oh, I... I don't want to make the Empress Dowager sad, and I don't want to make you sad, but I can't find a compromise."
