The king was wrong

"What exactly do you want?"

After thinking for a while, Wei Chengtian suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, walked to a place not more than five steps away from Wei Yanxi and Qi Yaoqing, stood still, looked at Wei Yanxi, and asked.

"Brother Huang is worrying too much, and this younger brother doesn't want to do anything." Wei Yanxi smiled and shook his head, "The only wish of my younger brother is to find a way out of life, hold hands with the princess, and grow old with him."

"You have a deep affection for him."

"That's natural. At the beginning, the marriage granted by the emperor's brother overcame all difficulties. The emperor's kindness is so great, and this king has always remembered it in his heart and dare not forget it." Wei Yanxi said lightly, "For several months, the minister and the princess have treated each other with courtesy. , Respect each other like a guest, not to mention that the Ming matchmaker was getting married, but in private, he made a vow to be with you for the rest of his life. Brother Huang, you had a deep affection with Concubine Shu at the beginning, even after she passed away many years ago, you never forget her, and now you have named her Queen Duanshu, Then why can't you understand the younger brother and the princess?"

When he moved out Concubine Shu, Wei Chengtian was stunned for a moment, something flashed in his eyes, but soon he returned to his previous cold appearance, waved his hands impatiently and said: "This is different."

"Why is it different?" Wei Yanxi asked, "Brother Huang failed to keep Concubine Shu's life back then, and watched her be persecuted to death after being deposed. Brother Huang feels the pain in his heart. But Brother Huang, the deceased is already dead. , for you, there will be no second concubine Shu in this world, and for me, there will be no second Yaoqing in this world. The fate you want Yaoqing now, to me, is no different from that at the beginning It's so painful for the Empress Dowager to take Concubine Shu's life in front of you."

At the moment Wei Yanxi is really moving with emotion and understanding with reason, trying to use Concubine Shu to touch the warmth that has been buried in Wei Chengtian's heart for many years.

He did this to completely destroy Wei Chengtian's stubborn heart. First, he came hard, and forced him with mutiny to make him angry and anxious. Completely softened, and transferred all the apologies to Concubine Shu to Qi Yaoqing, as if he was him at the moment, Qi Yaoqing was Concubine Shu, and he was Qi Songjin back then.

Wei Yanxi wants to transfer all the hatred of Qi Songjin in Wei Chengtian's heart to himself.

Obviously, Wei Chengtian was really shaken by what he said.In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the time many years ago when Concubine Shu's personal maid came and cried to him about Qi Songjin's ruthlessness and asked him to avenge Concubine Shu.The pain in my heart at that time is still deep in my memory until now, as if someone had torn a piece from my soul, I just wish I could follow her away immediately.

He has carried such deep hatred for these years, and now Qi Songjin is finally dead, but Shuran can't come back after all.He can posthumously make her a queen, give her the highest status, and bestow on her family a fortune that they can spend a few lifetimes on, but she will never be able to return to him again, smiling softly, Call him "Your Highness".

The eyes slowly converged, Wei Chengtian sighed in a low voice, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness rising from the bottom of his heart.

He always felt that everything he did was for the good of Wei Yanxi, but he never thought that in Wei Yanxi's eyes, he was no different from Qi Songjin back then, which is really ridiculous.

Seeing Wei Chengtian's vacillation, Wei Yanxi hastened to redouble his efforts and said: "Brother Huang, the general will be away, and his family will stay in Beijing to protect him well. This can be regarded as a kind of comfort to the general who is going on an expedition. But the minister is away on an expedition, and the princess is suffering in the prison. , Brother Huang, how can you tell my younger brother to swallow this breath?"

The same blood flowed on their bodies, and they were good brothers for 20 years. Now Wei Yanxi's words moved his face, even Wei Chengtian, who had a heart like a rock, couldn't say anything to refute.

Indeed, at the beginning, he thought that by taking Qi Yaoqing's life while Wei Yanxi was not in Beijing, he would be able to get rid of all Wei Yanxi's thoughts. From then on, he would have no weakness, and he would also be able to completely eradicate all the forces of the Qi family, so that they would never stand up again. possible.It's just that he didn't expect that Wei Yanxi would come back suddenly, not to mention disrupting his plan, and even threatening himself with a large army to force the palace.

For Qi Yaoqing, he really did not want to die.

"Brother Huang, I know that it is a serious crime for me to leave the battlefield without permission and trespass into the dungeon. After this time, I will never face my ancestors and the people again. I admit this crime. How many times did the Jiangshan Sheji in the late dynasty step on the knife's edge, soaked in the sea of ​​blood and struggle to survive, let me and Yaoqing be spared, the ministers are willing to return all military power, cut off the royal status, and demoted to common people, from then on with the princess Leave the capital and go far away to Mobei, and never set foot in the imperial city again in this lifetime."

Wei Yanxi's voice was silent, but every word was sonorous, hitting Wei Chengtian's heart one after another, and similarly, hitting Qi Yaoqing's heart.

Qi Yaoqing looked up in surprise and looked at Wei Yanxi, unable to react for a moment to what he said.Wei Yanxi wants... to give up the position of prince and be demoted to a commoner?

This was indeed something Qi Yaoqing hadn't thought of beforehand.

According to what he originally thought, he would be satisfied if Wei Yanxi came back from the battlefield to see him again.He once made an oath with Wei Yanxi to the sky, the earth, the mountains and the water, and they will stay together for the rest of their lives, never leaving, but because of the current situation, he had no choice but to go to the prison alone without telling Wei Yanxi, waiting for death.

But Wei Yanxi came back, not only came back, but also went to the prison to save him, and even now said that he would give up the throne and willingly be demoted to the common people, Qi Yaoqing only felt his whole heart tremble, his eyes were sore, he could only Keep your eyes wide open to keep the tears from flowing.

Sure enough, Wei Yanxi did not abandon him, never!

Wei Yanxi turned her head and saw Qi Yaoqing biting her lip and her eyes flushed, she felt her heart was about to melt, she wished she could pull him into her arms and rub him into her bones.

"You... you really want to give up the throne and leave the capital?"

Not far away, Wei Chengtian was stunned, his eyes were turning back and forth between the two, and he couldn't even speak for a moment.

Wei Yanxi, his own younger brother, actually wants to hand over military power, give up the throne, and be demoted to common people willingly for a man, just to stay with him for the rest of his life?

Wei Chengtian was shocked, could it be that there is nothing more important than his concubine in Wei Yanxi's heart!

He couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out, because for him, the country and the country were more important than anything else, that's why he was able to swallow this breath when Concubine Shu died, and endured Qi Songjin and the Qi family's so much The reason for many years.

Wei Chengtian stared at Wei Yanxi's face, trying to find any hesitation or hesitation on his face, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it.

This decision was made as early as when Wei Yanxi rode his horse back to the capital, because he hated his embarrassing status and dragged Yaoqing to suffer for no reason.If possible, he hopes to take off all the heavy burdens, join hands with Yaoqing to retreat to the countryside, and indulge in the mountains and rivers, just like what Yaoqing said at the beginning, like his teacher, he travels in all directions and makes his home all over the world.Such a day should be many times more carefree than the days of being imprisoned in the royal palace of Kyoto.

"This matter... I will consider it."

After thinking for a long time, Wei Chengtian sighed, and said to Wei Yanxi: "It's just that this is a big matter, I have to think carefully."

"My brother knows."

"Also, Beidi's troubles have not been completely resolved. I can't let you retire at this juncture, do you understand?"

These words were full of hints, Wei Yanxi raised the corners of her lips, nodded and said: "Your brother understands, brother, don't worry, I left enough manpower before my brother left, Beidi is not a problem."

"Well, that's good." Wei Chengtian took a deep look at Wei Yanxi, and finally waved his hand wearily, letting them go.

"My lord, do you really... want to give up the throne?"

On the way back, as soon as the two got into the carriage, Qi Yaoqing asked in a low voice.

Wei Yanxi stretched out his hand to help him do it well, half helpless and half funny, he asked back: "Why, this king has always kept his promises, but the princess doesn't believe it?"

"No, I'm not..." Qi Yaoqing didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he bit his lower lip angrily and looked at Wei Yanxi.

Obviously his face is pale and thin, and his thin lips are even bloodless, but Wei Yanxi likes him very much when he looks at him, and all the thoughts that he hasn't seen for several months are all over his heart, and he really wants to hold him in his arms and cherish him for a while.

And he did.

"Wang... wangye?"

Qi Yaoqing was thinking about something, when he was suddenly pulled by Wei Yanxi, and he immediately embraced him.He was a little panicked and wanted to push him away, but Wei Yanxi refused to let go at all, and stubbornly hugged him and sat beside him, letting him wrap his whole body into his arms.

"Yaoqing, you are really serious. If it wasn't for the letter Zhu Yaozi wrote to me, how long would you have kept it from me, huh? Wait until Brother Huang gives you a glass of poisoned wine, and then leave me a final letter to make me regret it." Forever? Yaoqing, you are so cruel-hearted, so cruel-hearted."

What he said was plain, and there was no trace of blame in his tone, but Qi Yaoqing felt more ashamed of him than cursing directly in person.

"My lord, I'm not...cough cough, cough cough cough..."

He was in a hurry to defend himself, but he started coughing before he finished speaking.Seeing this, Wei Yanxi felt distressed, and didn't dare to blame him anymore, so she quickly patted his back to help him feel better.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing his face getting redder and coughing, Wei Yanxi's movements became softer, and even his voice slowed down a lot, "Look at you, your body is weak, I've only been away for a few months , Just make yourself like this, tell me how not to worry."

"My lord, I'm fine."

After finally coughing, Qi Yaoqing patted Wei Yanxi's hand lightly, smiled at him apologetically, and said in a hoarse voice.

Wei Yanxi didn't insist either, but took him into his arms again, and continued: "When I came here, I didn't know what happened in the capital, but Zhu Yaozi wrote in the letter that it was a change in the capital. If you are in trouble, I will I'm afraid that Brother Huang will really do something to you while I'm not around, otherwise I will never forgive myself in this life."

"Fortunately, fortunately, you are still safe, otherwise in the end... Heh, I'm afraid I don't even know what I will do."

At the end, Wei Yanxi shook his head with a wry smile. If something happened to Qi Yaoqing, he might lose all his sanity, and he would have to sacrifice Lan Chao Jiangshan and his own life to accompany him.

"But lord, are you really... going to leave the throne like this? Beidi hasn't retreated yet. If you leave now, I'm afraid..."
