I walked towards him slowly until I could see their faces completely.
At this moment, I saw the woman's face.
This woman who loves Wei Qiqing is none other than Concubine Li Su Yueran.
When Wei Qi saw it was me, the chill in his eyes subsided a lot. Instead he was full of surprise, he obviously didn't expect me to be here.
"Xi Ran, why are you here? Did you hear what we said just now? Listen to me."
I smiled bitterly and said to him:
"Wei Qi, why am I here? Needless to say, I believe what I heard. Why did you lie to me? We grew up together, I trust you so much, why do you even lie to me?!"
After that, I turned to Concubine Li and said to her with a sarcastic smile:
"Concubine Li didn't expect you to be here, it really is not easy."
"Xiran, calm down first, it's none of her business. Allow me a day, and I will give you a complete answer when I go back tomorrow."
At this moment, my mind has become a mess. If it weren't for the biting coolness in the woods at this moment, which makes people wake up, I even thought I was dreaming.
But since he said he wanted to explain it to me, I might as well listen to how he will explain it tomorrow.
Now I really need to slow down and take time to digest these things.
"Let's go, Wei Qi, remember what you said, I will come to you directly when I go back tomorrow."
After that, I turned around and left, unwilling to look back again.
On the second day, we packed up and went back to the palace early.
Because of the assassination, the whole team was gloomy. No one dared to laugh and play at this moment, but walked forward silently.
There were so many things that happened when we came out, we didn't expect it.
Compared to coming out happily, it is obvious that each of us has our own concerns when we go back.
The princess didn't say a word to me all the way, and she didn't lift the curtain to look at me again.
I also didn't care about thinking about the princess. I sat on the horse and just stared blankly ahead, constantly replaying what happened last night in my mind.
In the end, should I tell the princess about this
If I say so, will it hurt Wei Qi? He grew up with me, never harmed me, and he saved my life.
If I do this, is it too unkind and unrighteous? !
If I don't say it, what should the princess do? His purpose was to recover Dayan, so how could he let the princess survive.
How should I choose between the two of them
At this moment, I have a splitting headache, and the more I think about it, the more confused I feel, as if I have fallen into a dilemma.
The time of cranky thinking always passed quickly, and I arrived in the capital in the blink of an eye.
After I arrived in the capital, I didn't go back to the palace right away, but told the princess that I had something to talk to Wei Qi, and she agreed.
Then I hired a carriage and went straight to Wei Mansion.
As soon as the butler saw me, he greeted me. He said that Wei Qi stayed in the study after he came back, and he should be waiting for me.
I didn't have time to respond to the housekeeper, so I went directly to the study. Now I just want to ask Wei Qi clearly, what is going on
When I got to the study, I saw Wei Qi standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
Seeing me coming, he was very indifferent. He first ordered the housekeeper to go out and close the door, and then said calmly:
"If you have anything to ask, just tell me."
Seeing him being so straight to the point, I no longer concealed it, and asked the question I wanted to ask directly.
"Wei Qi, let me ask you, have you really regarded me as a friend all these years? Why did you keep those things from me?"
I saw that he was still very calm, walked to the front of the table and took a sip of tea.
"Xiran, it's my consideration not to tell you some things. I tell you these things. It will only add to your troubles, won't it?"
When I looked at Wei Qi in front of me, I felt a little strange. It turned out that I had never really known him before.
"Tell me, what is your purpose? What about you and Li Fei?"
Although I already know what he wants to do, I still want to get an affirmative answer from him.
When Wei Qi heard my question, he smiled slightly and said:
"My purpose? My purpose is to restore Dayan. This is not only my mission but also the mission of my birth in this world! And Xiran, since you are my Dayan's person, then this is also your mission. As for that Su Yueran, she is just a move for me to recover Dayan."
When I heard him say that, a wave of anger surged into my heart.
"So you are so despicable! I didn't expect you to be such a cruel and unscrupulous person!!!"
When I finished speaking, he looked at me and sneered.
"I'm despicable? Xiran, do you know that there are many people who are despicable than me? Do you think that Her Royal Highness, who is with you day and night, is not despicable?"
As soon as I went up and grabbed the shirt on his chest, my eyes seemed to burst into flames.
"What did you say!!! How could the princess be the kind of person you said."
He snorted coldly, looked at me without any avoidance in his eyes and said:
"Oh, you are so naive, don't you think about why she fell down alone in the wilderness at that time, and you met her by such a coincidence? Do you think all this is just a coincidence? "
"No, I don't believe it, these are all your nonsense."
"You don't believe it? Then why did she bring her into the palace again? Hahahahaha, Xiran, wake up, she knew your identity a long time ago, and you are just a pawn in the chess game she played."
I don't believe it, how could she use me
I let go of Wei Qi, shook my head and slowly stepped back, collapsing on the chair all of a sudden.
"Xiran, it is our mission to restore the Great Swallow. Our fathers have made so much effort. We can't just give up."
I looked at him coldly and said:
"No, even if I die, I won't join forces with you."
Wei Qi's city is too deep, I can't follow the old path of my father's generation, my master said it, my mother said it too, I can't! ! !
"Xi Ran, have you considered your mother?"
When I heard him talking about my mother, I couldn't hold back my emotions for a moment, glared and growled and said to him:
"Wei Qi, if you dare to touch my mother, I will definitely kill you with my own hands. Now I am still urging you to stop as soon as possible from the standpoint of a brother. All this has passed, why can't you let it go?"
He rubbed a finger wrench in his hand, looked at me and said:
"I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dayan, how can I let go, let alone that I am about to succeed. Xiran, as long as you are willing to help me, I will give you half of this ten thousand li country. If you say she is sincere, then you should think about the princess." Has Your Highness ever said a word to you? Xi Ran, we are a family, this country will soon be ours, you should go back and think about it."
I stood up slowly and walked to the door,
"Wei Qi, since you insist on refusing to listen to my dissuasion, I will not stop you anymore. If you leave this door today, you and I will be merciless. But let me say a word, if you dare to hurt the person I love, I will definitely not stop you." I will let you go."
After I finished speaking, I slammed the door and walked out. Although I said that I would never give up, my heart was still broken into pieces after so many years of relationship.
I ran out of the Wei Mansion quickly, tears welling up in my eyes.
Oh, why? Why are you all lying to me
I hired a carriage as soon as I left the Wei Mansion, eager to go into the palace and ask the princess for clarification.
I walked into Yihua Palace with anger, sadness, and confusion.
Only all the maids are there, and the princess is sitting in the palace.
Seeing that I came back so soon, she asked me suspiciously:
"Look at how you ran so fast and didn't slow down. Didn't you go to Mr. Wei's? Why did you come back so soon?"
Instead of answering her question, I said to her directly:
"Princess, can you let them go out first? I have something to ask you."
She looked at me very puzzled, but she still told Yuan'er to take all the little maids down as I said.
Watching them close the door, I adjusted my mood, and then calmly spit out a few words:
"Princess, can I still trust you?"
She didn't know why I asked this, and she was a little nervous.
"Of course, why did Xi Ran ask like this?"
I then said to her:
"Then you tell me that I met you by the river back then, it wasn't a trap you set up; you told me that you brought me into the palace simply because you liked to eat the dishes I cooked; The liking is true and not just to use me. Zhen'er, can you tell me all this for sure?"
As I spoke, tears welled up from my eyes unstoppable.
She was stunned for a moment after listening to what I said, she knew that I must have heard something, but at this moment she could only look at me with very heartbroken eyes, choked up and said:
"Xiran, listen to me, I don't know what you heard outside, but let me tell you, every bit of my love for you is true. Maybe... I really had a reason to be close to you at the beginning, But now I really won't let anyone hurt you, and I never thought of using you."
After hearing her words, my heart suddenly felt like a thunderbolt, as if countless knives had been stabbed into my chest, one knife after another, until my heart was shattered.
"Hahahahahaha, it turns out...it turns out that you really only brought me into the palace to take advantage of me."
"Xiran, listen to me. I have no choice but to go against my father's will, but I really never thought of hurting you. I really love you. You believe me, Xiran."
She cried and hugged me, and I slowly pushed her away.
"Okay, stop talking, why are you all lying to me. I'm like a fool being manipulated by you. I'm just a pawn, right? So what's the point of what you're saying now."
After that, I walked straight out of Yihua Palace, no matter how she called my name in the back, I didn't look back.
I don't know where I'm going, but I know clearly now.
This place, this person, is no longer mine.
