Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 26 Going Away (2)

Xiao Yi opened her mouth wide: "Brother Yi, why do you suddenly seem to understand a lot of things?"

Xiao Yi blinked: "Actually, I don't really understand. I heard all this when Father Zhong was talking to Zheng Yan."

Holding her chin and pondering for a while, Xiao Yi thought of something again: "Why is Uncle Wei telling my brother these things so politely?"

"Because..." Xiao Yi hesitated for a while, but finally stroked her hair, and said in a relaxed tone, "Zheng promised to join the Imperial Army, and Father Zhong agreed, but he was only given two years to become a commander from a young soldier. "

"Why have I never heard of it, my brother is going to be a soldier?"

"That's what he decided, just... a few days ago."

Actually, it was seventeen days ago, the night when Xiao Yi went to look for Mo Yanxiao.

Xiao Shu asked: "The emperor has really decided to seal Yueyue as queen?"

Xiao Yi replied: "Yes. However, I hope that you can talk to me about this matter as the future brother-in-law."

Xiao Shu smiled: "Brother Yi wants to marry his younger sister, so he should know the rules of the Xiao family and not take concubines."

Xiao Yi spread his hands: "Having Yueyue is enough for me to bear, and I don't think I have the life to pick the rest of the wild flowers."

"Then, how will my father pass that test, brother Yi, have you ever thought about it?"

"As long as Yueyue agrees, the adoptive father will naturally not object. This move is called dredging the bottom."

"Since that's the case, I'll go to see Uncle Wei tomorrow."

"What's the matter?"

"Join the Forbidden Army and take control of the military."

Xiao Yi squinted at him: "Aren't you trying to tell me that if I dare to lose Yueyue in the future, you will have the ability to break my leg?"

Xiao Shu's expression was very gratifying and kind: "Brother-in-law is smart!"

The [-] forbidden army is the most elite force in the Great Chu. They can attack and retreat in battle, and they are responsible for the safety of the imperial city.

To some extent, it can even be said that the life of the emperor is in his hands.

As long as you have this power, you will have an important weight in the power struggle.After all, the balance of power involved in the battle for succession cannot be resolved by financial resources alone.

If Xiao Yi is the queen, the Xiao family will not only have money, but also power, preferably military power.

Xiao Yi understands these key points, Xiao Shu understands them, and even Xiao Yi, who is not clear about the reasons for the time being, quickly realized what hardships it will mean once she chooses this path: "My brother, why To do this?"

"To protect you, and to protect me."

"Protect……"

Mo Yanxiao's words are still ringing in his ears—"You still claim to protect your brother, what do you use to protect him?" '

Yes, what to take, why?
Fortunately, before, I thought that she was the one who stood out for Xiao Shu.Now that I think about it carefully, Xiao Shu was the one who cleaned up the mess for her and took the punishment for her since she was a child.And she can only live under the protection of her family and can't help anything.

Therefore, Mo Yanxiao disdained her, and it was justified.

Thinking of Mo Yanxiao, Xiao Yi couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart.

It wasn't the heart-piercing pain I thought it would be, but rather a tight throbbing pain with a stuffy stagnation.

Playing like crazy during the day, she was so tired that she fell asleep every night, and she didn't even have the strength to dream.So in the past few days, I have hardly thought of Mo Yanxiao, whether it is a gentle and elegant little master, or a cold and harsh little master.

little master...

From now on, you can't call him like that anymore, right?
He looked down on her so much, thinking about it, he had no choice but to accept her as his apprentice.

In this case, the so-called teacher-student friendship is just a joke.

Without the relationship between master and apprentice, there would be no connection between them.

In the future, he will be a good minister who will last forever, and she... Where will she be and what will she do.Could it be that, relying on the protection of his family, he could live his whole life with peace of mind?

The bewilderment about the future dilutes the sadness caused by the premature withering of the first lover.

Perhaps, at her age, it is indeed easy to fall in love, but it is also easy to fall in love, and eventually dies.

In less than [-] days, the man's face was somewhat blurred, only the cold wind that night was more clear, wrapped in sarcastic words, unable to blow away the thick sarcasm from the corners of his eyes and brows.

Xiao Yi was trapped in her own emotions, her face turned pale, Xiao Yi watched quietly from the side, for a long time, suddenly, as if just remembering it, she slapped her forehead and said: "By the way, Master Mo said that he has not paid back for more than ten years. I’m not in my hometown, so I’m taking leave to go back to worship my ancestors, and it’s estimated that I’ll be away from Beijing for half a year. I’ve made a plan, and it seems like I’m leaving today.”
