"Why are you here too?" Emperor Shunde looked at Wen Yan who appeared in front of him. He was a little surprised, but more importantly, he didn't want him to show up.

"Father, when you sent someone to look for Wen Heng, I was there too. I thought I hadn't greeted you yet, so I came along."

"You go down first."

Emperor Shunde spoke to Wen Yan in a very gentle tone.

"Father, what do you want to say? Can't I listen to you?"

"Yan'er?" Emperor Shunde said coldly.

"Father!" Wen Yan shouted with a smile, "I want to listen to it too."

Emperor Shunde stared at him, obviously not wanting him to be there.

But in the end, he was defeated by Wen Yan, and he didn't want his favorite son to see his cruel side.

"Forget it, both of you go."

Wen Yan smiled and nodded, "Then I will take my leave first."

After watching the two of them leave, Emperor Shunde sighed, not understanding what Wen Yan was doing.

Wen Heng also didn't understand.

"Why do you want to help me?"

Wen Yan smiled, "Did I help you?"

"What's the purpose?" Wen Heng asked again.

"You can't let him continue to make mistakes when you know it's wrong."

Wen Heng was stunned for a moment and looked at Wen Yan in disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that." Wen Yan smiled bitterly, "I don't know if what I've done can make you let go of the resentment in your heart, but whether as a brother, son, or subject, I don't want to see that scene."

Wen Heng frowned and said nothing.

"Although I know that I may not be able to stop you, I have to try, right?"

Wen Heng looked at him, "Do you think it's possible for the royal family to talk about family affection?"

"No matter whether it's possible or not, I just do my own thing. I can't say that I have no selfish motives in doing this, but I don't want Xia Zhiliao to be sad."

"I know you have a deep relationship. If she knew you were punished here, she would definitely be unhappy."

"So you helped me, ultimately for her."

Wen Yan raised his eyebrows, "You can say that."

"If I encounter it, I will help you, but you also know that I may not be able to help you all the time. I also know that it is impossible to persuade you to let go."

"But, I just want to minimize the damage."

Wen Heng looked at him and suddenly remembered what Xia Zhiliao said, that Wen Yan was able to become emperor and was a wise ruler.

Have the world in mind and care about the people.

"In fact, if the emperor really wanted to kill you, it would be easy. Maybe he knows he is wrong, but as an emperor, he is unwilling to admit his mistakes."

Wen Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Although I cannot understand your experience, you should know that the imperial family is always helpless, and this naturally includes our father."

Wen Heng sneered, "Are you defending him, or are you looking for an excuse in advance for the things you will do in the future?"

"It's what you think it is."

"You should know that if you want to protect Zhiliao, you should stay away from her."

Wen Heng looked at him suddenly, "Then what? You get closer to him?"

"The cicada itself is nothing, but the rights it represents are what many people want to obtain."

"Including you?"

Wen Yan nodded, "Of course, but I don't just want power."

"What about Lu Seyan?" Wen Heng asked again. He was thinking that the two people the little girl said were supposed to be husband and wife, the male and female protagonists.

"Why are you bringing her up again?" Wen Yan smiled bitterly, "Miss Lu and I do know each other, that's all."

"But she doesn't think so. She repeatedly tripped up Zhiliao and made things difficult for her, all because of you."

Wen Yan was slightly surprised, "I didn't know she was such a person."

"If Zhiliao hadn't been so smart, she might have already planned it for me."

"I will not do it again."

Wen Heng said in a deep voice: "I believe that you may want to protect Zhiliao, but you will also bring her trouble and danger. We are on the same side."

Wen Yan was silent.

Wen Heng looked at him, "Do you know what Zhiliao wants?"

"What you can give her is not what she wants." Wen Heng said in a deep voice: "She is still a child, let her grow up as she pleases, before that."

……

Lu Ruoyan is dead.

Died on a snowy night.

It was already noon the next day when Xia Zhiliao found out. After all, she was the concubine of Prince Rui. There would be no sound when she was alive, but her death would definitely be a grand affair.

Chang Yue was also quite shocked after hearing this, "How could he die when he was only a teenager?"

"Didn't they say that she has been in poor health since she got married?" Old Mrs. Xia said with a sigh.

[He was full of life before, but he was tortured to death. ]

Chang Yue's face changed drastically after hearing this. This wealthy family was really scary.

Old Mrs. Xia glanced at the little girl and couldn't help but start to worry about her future.

[Grandma, why are you looking at me like that? Are you worried about me? No need, no need. I don’t want to get married.]

Although not getting married sounds a bit too much, Old Mrs. Xia actually thinks it is a good idea.

After a woman gets married, she may not necessarily live as freely as she did when she was a girl.

The concubine of Prince Duan's Mansion died, and the women of the General's Mansion also had to go to pay their respects.

Even in the countryside, if someone dies in the village, everyone has to show up and help out.

Death is the greatest thing. Lu Ruoyan was quite annoying before, but she didn’t bring any harm to the Xia family after all.

Everyone just lamented that she was so young and had only been married for a short time.

Lu Ruoyan’s death was a foregone conclusion.

Early death and early rebirth.

No one could save her.

The only way is to overthrow Prince Duan. But if Prince Duan is overthrown, Lu Ruoyan, as a concubine, will not be able to recover.

Besides, it is not that easy to overthrow Prince Duan.

As Lu Ruoyan is the vicious eldest sister, she will end up dead.

In fact, with so many things happening, if Grandma Xia hadn’t been reluctant to leave her second son’s family, she really wanted to go back.

But after returning, the family was no longer together and had to go back and forth.

So, she thought about it and decided to stay for the time being.

At her age, no matter what others think, she has not read much and just thinks that children are the most important.

So, the idea of ​​going back was never brought up.

The person who was most saddened by Lu Ruoyan's death was naturally Mrs. Lu. Old Mrs. Lu was also heartbroken, but she couldn't save her, and she felt more guilty.

At this moment, she only felt regret. If she had known earlier, she would have broken her granddaughter's legs rather than let her go on the autumn hunt and get involved with King Rui.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"Mom, Ruoyan died unjustly."

“Shut up.” Old Madam Lu glared at Madam Lu coldly.

"Even if you scold me, I will still say that Ruoyan was killed by them."

There was a loud and crisp slap.

Old Madam Lu stared at her intently, "She's already dead, do you want the entire Hou Mansion to be buried with her?"
