It is the true ending that both the author and the female supporting role are happy

The continuous drizzle in April is always falling, and the streets are slippery and muddy. Three or two pedestrians walk slowly holding oil-paper umbrellas. Just after Qingming, the streets and alleys look deserted.

On the second floor of an inn in Gyeonggi, Nan Rongyue and Yu Wenrui sat in a private room and had lunch quietly.

Yu Wenrui put a piece of fish into Nanrong Yue's bowl, and said: "The situation is getting more and more obscure."

Nan Rongyue glanced at her, "It's not because of you."

"But I am obviously very peaceful, and I have been honestly staying by your side, Mrs. Saintess." Yu Wenrui said with a playful smile.

Nan Rongyue sneered, and it took a long time before she said calmly, "Poor mouth."

As if thinking of something, Nan Rongyue said seriously, "The Dongzhou side has agreed to negotiate."

"Yes, Yu Wenjue wrote to say that their people will arrive in Gyeonggi in the afternoon."

Nan Rongyue said in surprise, "So fast!"

Yu Wenrui nodded.

The two of them finished their lunch leisurely, drank afternoon tea to digest their food, and finally waited for Yu Wenjue and Yang Mujin to arrive.

Yu Wenjue was dressed in a bamboo green gown, with a slender figure and an elegant demeanor, but he wore a terrifying silver mask on his face, adding a bit of hostility to his peaceful temperament.

Compared with Yu Wenjue, Yang Mujin is much more elegant. He is dressed in plain casual clothes, and his face is not covered, so he looks pure and simple.

The two came to Gyeonggi in a flying dragon beast car with a pair of attendants, and stayed in the inn that Nan Rongyue had arranged in advance.

"This is the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light." Yu Wenrui introduced to the two of them.

"Saint." A trace of inquiry flashed across Yu Wenjue's eyes.

He really wanted to know what was so special about this famous saintess and why he was favored by his sister.

Nan Rongyue glanced at Yu Wenjue, and Yu Wenjue took off the mask knowingly, revealing a handsome face.

Yang Mujin also said: "Hi, Lady Saint." Her expression and attitude were quite respectful.

Nan Rongyue nodded towards the two of them.

"This is Yu Wenjue, and that is Yang Mujin." Yu Wenrui continued to introduce.

Nan Rongyue invited the two of them to take a seat, and then called the waiter at the door to bring tea and cups, "You two have such a good relationship," she said casually.

Yu Wenjue smiled, and said politely: "The relationship between the saint and my sister is also very good!"

From the very beginning, the lady saint gave him the impression of gentleness and politeness. When meeting him for the first time, she was neither too warm nor alienated.

He looked directly at Nan Rongyue's eyes. Unlike other people, Nan Rongyue's eyes were always calm, not condescending, and not showing contempt and disgust for dark mages.

Yu Wenjue thought, this might be one of the reasons why Yu Wenrui fell in love with Nan Rongyue. Although she is a saint, she doesn't look at people with colored glasses.

Five days later, the palace, the meeting room.

This time the emperor not only put on the dazzling yellow uniform and crown, but also rode a dragon chariot, escorted by Yu Wenfeng, to the door of the meeting room stepping on time.

"The emperor is here!" The announcement from the eunuch outside the door was sharp and piercing.

The door was opened, and a dazzling beam of light shone into the huge room from outside. Two rows of armored guards at the door knelt down to salute the emperor.

The emperor stepped into the meeting room with his head held high, and he saw an ordinary-looking woman standing beside Nan Rongyue. There was a tea set on the table, and she was pouring tea.

"This tea is good." Jiang Liumu didn't seem to notice the emperor's arrival, he brought the teacup to his mouth and slowly tasted it.

Wearing a mask, Yang Mujin introduced slowly: "This is a high-quality tribute tea that is a specialty of Dongzhou."

Nan Rongyue also picked up a cup and drank it in small sips, nodding repeatedly.

— cough cough

After a long time, the emperor coughed in anger and embarrassment when he saw that no one paid attention to him.

Why did Jiang Liumu and Nan Rongyue get mixed up with the Dongzhou rebels? The emperor was furious.

As if they had just noticed the emperor's arrival, several people turned their heads together, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"It turns out that His Majesty is here." Jiang Liumu said calmly, and he didn't stand up from the chair, he just raised his hand in a perfunctory salute.

The emperor was puzzled, he didn't understand why Jiang Liumu was so yin and yang.

"Your Majesty's way of hospitality is really unheard of, it's eye-opening!" Under the mask, Yu Wenjue mocked.

"What's going on?" The emperor cast his sharp eyes on the eunuch beside him.

"This..." The eunuch hesitated and couldn't explain why.

The atmosphere was tense for a while, and the two sides stalemate for a while.

In the end, it was Yang Mujin who said: "Our people came all the way to Gyeonggi to negotiate, but we didn't even see a single person to entertain or guide the way. In the end, it was the inn arranged by the Holy Maiden for us. How dare you ask Your Majesty your people?" Well, why don't you come out to greet me? Does this seem to invite us to negotiate the proper etiquette?"

Faced with Yang Mujin's questioning, the emperor was speechless.

At that time, he was on the cusp of the storm, and because he was forced to negotiate with Dongzhou, he was so upset that he didn't have the mind to think about how to entertain Dongzhou's envoys, so he didn't send anyone to greet him at the gate of the city. By the time he received the news, people from Dongzhou were already in Gyeonggi.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at Nan Rongyue, and gritted his teeth secretly. This saint was so "thoughtful" that she intervened in his government affairs without authorization, and even won the favor of Dongzhou!

The atmosphere became more and more tense.

Nan Rongyue caught a glimpse of the emperor's uneasy expression, and sighed inwardly, but it was not appropriate to quarrel at this time, and the negotiation had to continue.

After thinking for a while, she helped Yu Wenqian and said, "You guys have misunderstood. This seat proposed the negotiation to His Majesty, and His Majesty also entrusts this seat to take full responsibility for the reception."

Yu Wenjue glanced at Nan Rongyue, and seemed to be looking at Yu Wenrui behind her through Nan Rongyue, and then said to the emperor indifferently: "So it is like this, we misunderstood."

The emperor's face softened slightly, and he sat down.

The rectangular table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth. Yu Wengan and Yu Wenjue sat facing each other, Yu Wenfeng and Yang Mujin stood behind them respectively, Nan Rongyue and Jiang Liumu sat on the left and right respectively, and Yu Wenrui stood in the south. Behind Rong Yue.

Yu Wenqian looked at the obtrusive decoration on the table, and ordered: "Put away this tea set!"

The eunuch behind him flinched.

"Your Majesty is wrong, this tea set does not belong to the palace." Jiang Liumu said.

"Huh?" The emperor was puzzled.

Jiang Liumu explained with disappointment: "The few of us came from a long distance, we are naturally thirsty, and asked for a cup of tea from the father-in-law behind His Majesty, but the father-in-law kept pushing back and said that the water was not boiled. After a while, he said that there is no extra tea set in the palace, we have no choice but to take out the tea set and water to make tea to quench our thirst."

Yu Wenqian's heart was aghast, no wonder these people didn't give him good looks from the moment he entered the door, it turned out that it was because of this matter!

He glanced straight at the eunuch like a sharp knife, and coldly asked the chief eunuch beside him, "Which palace is he from?"

The chief eunuch hesitated for a while, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "He used to be the cleaning eunuch in Empress Pei's palace."

When the emperor heard this, he almost couldn't help but had an attack.

Queen Pei!It's Empress Pei again!Locked in the cold palace and still so restless!It's all this way and you still want to spoil his good deeds!

The emperor's voice suppressed the indescribable resentment: "Drag this slutty slave out of the palace and punish him!"

As for Queen Pei, after the negotiation, we will deal with her!

After taking the eunuch out, the emperor ordered someone to bring good tea, and when he turned his head again, his face was full of kindness.

The emperor thought he was amiable and said: "Can you please take off the mask?" If you don't take off the mask, you don't even know the real face of the other party.

"No." Yu Wenjue said simply, with a cold tone.

If it wasn't for negotiating to make the following actions logical, Yu Wenjue wouldn't be bothered to talk nonsense to this cheap father.

For a moment, the emperor's face darkened: "What about your sincerity?" he asked.

"Sorry, so far, your Majesty, you lack sincerity!" Yu Wenjue replied unceremoniously.

After another half hour of silence, Jiang Liumu raised his teacup and said, "Drink tea, drink tea."

Several people picked up the teacups and calmed down while drinking tea.

After being wasted a lot of time, the emperor was not polite, so he simply skipped the previous topic and said directly: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Yang Mujin took out a thick booklet and handed it to the emperor, saying: "It's very simple, separate the entire Dongzhou under our own jurisdiction, and compensate all the economic losses caused by this war."

Yu Wenqian and Yu Wenfeng felt a chill in their hearts. This request was beyond their tolerance, and this negotiation might not be possible!

May I ask, in the 300 years since the establishment of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, which emperor has been as useless as Yu Wengan?Not only did he lose the jurisdiction over a large area of ​​land in Dongzhou, but he also provoked public outrage and was forced to negotiate with the rebels... Now asking the emperor to cede the land and pay compensation is simply a shame and humiliation, it would be better to put down your body and apologize.

But the matter has come to this point, the emperor is in a dilemma, and he is even more desperate.

He didn't even look at the agreement handed over by Yang Mujin, and flatly refused: "This is impossible!"

Who knows that Yu Wenjue also said unceremoniously: "Then, don't talk about it!" Heh, what he was waiting for was the emperor's words!

The emperor snorted coldly, stood up and flung his sleeves and left. Yu Wenfeng took a serious look at the few people, and quickly followed the emperor's pace.

That night, the Temple of Light.

Nan Rongyue stood by the window, she looked up at the Wanjia lights in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, she said calmly: "Yu Wenrui, Dongzhou's request is really too much."

Yu Wenrui smiled, "But on the surface it seems quite reasonable, isn't it? It's just what the people want and the choice of the people. You can go to the streets of Dongzhou and ask the people, which one of them is not eager for a new life, for that kind of life. A life free from exploitation and oppression."

"You knew early on that the negotiation would break down." Nan Rongyue said affirmatively.

Yu Wenrui was noncommittal, the only thing she didn't expect was that this negotiation would end in less than half an hour and end so quickly.

"Why do you want to do this?" Nan Rongyue knew very well what the breakdown of the negotiation meant.

It means the continuation of the war and the loss of life.

"For a bright future." Yu Wenrui added in his heart for our bright future.

Yu Wenrui took a few steps towards Nan Rongyue, hugged her from behind and said, "Don't worry, I will properly arrange the relevant matters before the battle."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yes." Yu Wenrui said softly.

Nan Rongyue's eyes moved, "So far, everything is in your expectation?"

"Yes." She smiled.

In the end, Nan Rongyue sighed, it was a compromise.

She thought helplessly that every time she faced Yu Wenrui, she would be defeated. In addition to conniving and compromising, she even became an accomplice several times.

A new day is coming. At this moment, the night is dark, and the morning star in the sky is shining brightly, as if it is guiding people to something...

The author has something to say: Finally finished a chapter!
