When Wei Ziye said that according to the Emperor's intention, Chang 'an would also participate in the selection of the first beauty of Qi, the Empress' expression immediately changed.
Chang 'an also looked at Wei Ziye in shock. At this moment, she realized that this was what Wei Ziye meant when he said that he did not come to save her!
" Wei Ziye…" Chang An called out Wei Ziye's name. Wei Ziye glanced at her indifferently.
The Empress's expression was unfriendly." Young Master Weiguo's words…I really don't understand. You mean…the Emperor asked you to come to Changle Palace to find me?”
"Not bad."
"Hahaha…Could it be that Young Master Wei doesn't know that passing on a fake imperial edict is a capital offense in Qi Country?”
When she said," This fake imperial edict is a capital crime in Qi Country," the Empress's tone became ruthless. When she saw the Empress say such vicious words again…Chang 'an still felt that the Empress was really too vicious.
Looking at the Empress 'cold expression, Wei Ziye said indifferently,""There is no such thing as an imperial edict. The emperor only asked this one to pass on a verbal order.”
The young duke looked at Wei Ziye, who had appeared out of nowhere, from his bed. Actually, the pain in his lower body was much better, but it seemed that he really couldn't use it anymore…
No matter what, it was hard to swallow this insult!
"No! Lin Chang 'an-can't leave!" The young duke said resolutely," She wants to stay!”
Wei Ziye glanced coldly at the young duke when he opened his mouth to speak." This must be the young duke?”
The young duke was originally lying calmly on the bed, but after feeling Wei Ziye's cold gaze, he felt a little depressed.
The young duke only looked at Wei Ziye and did not answer, but Wei Ziye asked in return,
"Hmm?"
"Yes, the person you see is BenGong's nephew, the Marquis of Qi State.”
The young duke did not speak, and the empress answered on his behalf. When Wei Ziye heard the Empress's words, he only sneered in his heart. The relationship between the Empress and the young duke was definitely not simple!
"I see…Then, I'm sorry for being rude.”
Wei Ziye looked at Chang 'an with an indifferent gaze, then looked at the Empress. The Empress saw Wei Ziye's gaze on Chang' an and felt a sense of irony in her heart. This fellow had clearly come to Changle Palace for Lin Chang 'an, and he had just vowed that he was not here for Lin Chang' an?
How ironic. This Young Master Weiguo had only interacted with Lin Chang 'an for a day, right? It had only been a day and she was already captivated by Lin Chang 'an? Otherwise, why would a man help a woman who was not related to him?
"Your Majesty, this one is indeed here on the emperor's orders. You don't want to oppose the emperor, do you?”
Wei Ziye only said one thing--he was working under the imperial edict. He had also made it very clear that he only wanted to hear the Empress's words, whether she agreed or not.
If he didn't agree, he would be going against the Emperor. If he agreed, he would take Chang 'an away from here.
The Empress's lips curled into a sneer, and her gaze towards Wei Ziye was also filled with sarcasm." Young Master Wei Guo came here for Lin Chang 'an, right?”
Wei Ziye frowned. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Empress's words. Wei Ziye opened his mouth." I really don't dare to accept the Empress 'words…For a woman?”
He turned to look at Chang 'an. Chang' an was looking at Wei Ziye expressionlessly. She had been looking at Wei Ziye the whole time. She wanted to see what was so special about this man who had come to Changle Palace for her.
All along, the Wei Ziye she knew was this lawless and fearless. Whether it was in front of the Emperor or…at a banquet where all the civil and military officials were present, or in front of the harsh Empress, he was always so indifferent.
Just as Chang 'an was still thinking about this, Wei Ziye glanced at her disdainfully. He looked at the Empress indifferently and continued," Your Majesty, you really think too highly of me!"”
"What's wrong?" The Empress laughed sarcastically." Still not admitting it!”
"This isn't a matter of admitting it or not. I'm just telling the truth.”
Wei Ziye stood calmly in front of the Empress. Most of the things he said…were naturally fabricated, but he naturally would not admit it.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely take Lin Chang 'an with me.”
" Just because you say you want to take them away?!"
When the Empress heard Wei Ziye's words, she suddenly stood up. Her eyes were filled with anger." It doesn't matter if you're following the imperial edict or acting on your own. I won't let you go!" What can you do?"
“……”
Wei Ziye had already expected the Empress to have such a tough attitude. He had long been prepared to forcefully bring his people away. With the support of King Qi Yong, what was there to worry about?
"The Empress 'words are unyielding, but this one only knows that the Emperor is the ruler of a country, and no matter how frightening the Empress' words are, this one still cannot listen to the Empress.”
The Empress was still standing opposite Wei Ziye. When she heard Wei Ziye's words, she felt very angry." Wei Ziye-you-"
"Do it!"
Wei Ziye gestured with his hand, and then a guard came in from outside. He walked to Chang 'an's side, grabbed her arm, and took her away. Before the Empress could react, Chang' an had already been taken away.
The Empress pointed at Wei Ziye and said hysterically,""Wei Ziye! What do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? He did not have any ill intentions, nor did he have any intention of being disrespectful to the Empress!”
Wei Ziye looked at the Empress indifferently. His original intention was to leave this place as soon as possible, but the Empress seemed to be a little difficult to deal with!
The young duke looked at Wei Ziye's unbridled behavior and really did not expect Wei Ziye to be so unscrupulous. Originally, a hostage from the State of Wei was actually acting so wantonly in the palace of the Empress of the State of Qi?!
"Aunt, how can you tolerate this hostage of the State of Wei acting so presumptuously here!”
Wei Ziye was about to turn around and leave, but the Empress was clearly not so open to discussion.
"Stop!"
The Empress berated, and Wei Ziye stood still.
Turning around, Wei Ziye looked at the long-winded woman in front of him and felt annoyed. His brows unconsciously furrowed." Is there anything else, Your Majesty?”
"Nothing! " Hmph…" The Empress looked at Wei Ziye's cold face and sneered." I just feel that if you leave just like that, it will really make me lose face!"”
"No face left?" Wei Ziye's brows were still tightly furrowed." Tsk…no matter how important face is, it's not as important as the emperor's kindness, right?”
"I'll take my leave first!”Wei Ziye made a symbolic bow to the Empress and said indifferently," If Your Majesty is dissatisfied with anything, it's best if you go to the Emperor personally to explain it clearly. I believe that the Emperor is very willing to explain it clearly to Your Majesty!"”
"You-"
Wei Ziye turned around and left. Even his back was silent.
The Empress only had time to get angry behind Wei Ziye. Even if she called someone over…the two people Wei Ziye had just called in were the real imperial guards of the palace.
She really couldn't have any more conflict with the Emperor. Because of the previous selection, the Emperor was still unwilling to talk to her. It had been almost three months since the last selection, and the Emperor hadn't even said a word to her…
Even if she took the initiative to look for the Emperor, the Emperor would not even bother to look at her…With all these obvious disgust, how could she not see it? Thinking about it, almost half of her life had passed. Even from the time she married into the Imperial family, the relationship between her and the Emperor had never been very harmonious.
Now, if she went to the emperor so rashly, she would probably be unable to salvage the situation, right?
"Aunt?" The young duke looked at the Empress 'furrowed brows, her heavy heart filled with worry, and the worry in his heart grew more and more intense. He was worried that if the Empress no longer cared about this matter, then he could only suffer in silence, right?
"Yes!"
The Empress lowered her voice and agreed. In fact, her feelings for the young duke were limited to desire--it was just that she was not willing to accept what she had not obtained in the past. Now, after obtaining it, she still felt very empty in her heart, as if there was a part of her heart--it was something that she could not fill no matter how hard she tried.
That part was the person he did not get when he was young, that love that was not considered beautiful.
"Aunt, are you going to ignore Min 'er's life and death like this?”The young duke had an aggrieved expression, his eyes glistening with tears." If Min 'er really can't be humane in the future…Aunt, you-"
Before the young duke could finish his sentence, the Empress covered his mouth and said somewhat anxiously,"You're a child. You can't say anything!”
" Mmmm... Mmmm... Aunt, let go first..."
The young duke held the Empress's hand, wanting her to let go first, but the Empress was clearly very worried that her nephew would spout nonsense.
"Promise me not to say anything! You didn't want to say anything just now, did you?”
This wasn't as simple as saying a wrong sentence. She only needed to correct it. This involved the rise and fall of her life as the empress. It wasn't a joke! He couldn't be careless!
"Yes, yes, yes…Auntie?"
After the Empress released her hand, she was still a little scared. She didn't know if she could still trust this nephew who looked like that man from back then. She actually knew very well in her heart that this man in front of her did look exactly like that man, but were they really the same?
It wasn't.
"Remember this in the future! No matter what, he had to keep this matter a secret!”
