Chapter 217 - The strange Yun Xie"Oh, I was overthinking it. People like big sister don"t have hearts." Wei Yuanwei smiled and walked out.
Wei Guanshu lay limply on the ground. From today onwards, she would forever lose the support of the Wei family. When the Dragon and Tiger pattern on her jade pendant was taken by the people of the world, the dim light in her eyes immediately condensed.
So what if he lost them? As long as she had it, she hoped for Yun Xie"s help in the future. At that time, Yun Che would definitely not mistreat her, and she would definitely become the woman who could share the rivers and mountains with Yun Xie.
Wei Yuanwei lay on her bed, tossing and turning, the door opened with a creak.
Seeing that familiar figure slowly walking over, Wei Yuanwei pretended to close her eyes. There was some anger in her heart, in the daytime, Yun Xie actually carried Wei Guanshu and left, but she actually ignored her.
He slowly approached and she could even feel the cold air around him. Yun Xie calmly looked at Wei Yuanwei: "Since you can"t fall asleep, why not talk with me?"
Wei Yuanwei knew that he couldn"t continue to pretend, so she simply sat up and leaned against the headboard. Yun Xie put the fox fur coat on top of the wooden chair and said to Wei Yuanwei: "It"s extremely cold tonight, don"t catch a cold."
"What does Your Highness want to say?" Wei Yuanwei quietly looked at Yun Xie with his bright black eyes, she felt that Yun Xie was different tonight, as though there was a trace of melancholy on his body.
After a long period of silence, Yun Xie continued, "Tomorrow morning, the imperial edict will be sent to Wei Mansion. More than two hundred people from the Wei Mansion, regardless of old or young, will be executed, and Royal Father ordered all of the princes to watch the entire process of execution."
"The Prince pleaded for mercy on behalf of the Wei Mansion?" He didn"t know why Wei Yuanwei"s feelings told him that Yun Xie had indeed done that.
Yun Xie"s eyes grew dark as her voice became deeper, "Prime Minister Wei is indeed guilty, but not as guilty as women and children. Royal father"s method of exterminating everything is a little too cruel."
"Who in the world would have thought that the ruthless Xie w.a.n.g would actually have a moment of soft-heartedness." Wei Yuanwei said indifferently. Although she knew that he was not guilty of any crime, hatred was still a very terrifying thing, it would grow and take root in the hearts of humans, one day it would spread to a power that could shake the earth, slashing the gra.s.s would not eliminate the spring winds. The Emperor was a suspicious person, how could he let the people of Wei Mansion go?
Since the emperor knew her position in Yun Xie"s heart, he naturally wouldn"t touch her.
Wei Guanshu had exposed his achievements. Even if she wanted his to live, he wanted her to show to the world that only those who were loyal to him and dared to destroy their family could live under the hands of the Emperor.
Yun Xie seemed to be slightly agitated as both of his hands tightly gripped onto Wei Yuanwei"s shoulders. "The cruelest thing in the world is to watch your loved ones miserably die in front of you, while you are completely helpless to do anything."
Wei Yuanwei only felt that his shoulders were in pain. She had never seen Yun Xie in such a state of loss of control.
Wei Yuanwei said indifferently: "They are not my relatives."
Yun Xie abruptly let go of Wei Yuanwei as he slowly closed his eyes. When she opened them again, it was already clear and bright, "Esteemed w.a.n.gfei, go to sleep. Royal father will announce to the world tomorrow.
Yun Xie stood up and walked out. He stopped at the door, and there was not a trace of sadness in her voice. "Royal Concubine, you"ve won."
"Yun Xie, are you blaming me?" Wei Yuanwei opened the brocade door and walked down barefooted.
Yun Xie did not reply. After he shut the door, he slowly walked towards the study, the cold wind mixed with the scattered snowflakes. .h.i.t his face, she lifted her hand to feel the coldness of the mask, but his heart was filled with indescribable emotion. Unfortunately, he could only hide these thoughts within his heart, allowing them to ferment, roll, and burn her own chest.
After a long while, Wei Yuanwei finally felt a cold feeling coming from the bottom of her feet. She had won her life, but he seemed to have lost Yun Xie"s heart. There was really something out of her control, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Forget it, let"s do it this way. Let him think what he wants.
Wei Yuanwei slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep with complicated emotions. She had a very long dream in which he dreamt that even though Yun Xie and her were very close to each other, he could not see his face nor touch his body despite the thick smoke. She screamed and screamed, but what he received in return was only a dry and hoa.r.s.e reply.
Wei Yuanwei was awoken by the nightmare. She stood up and put on his fox fur coat, but the snowflakes that fluttered outside the window were still there. He landed soundlessly in the dark night.
Wei Yuanwei thought of the jade bottle gourd that Ning Zheyan had given his before. She placed the jade bottle gourd in his mouth and blew on it lightly.
As expected, Ning Zheyan this swindler was only trying to coax her.
Just as Wei Yuanwei was about to close the window and return to his bed to rest, she saw a graceful figure sitting on top of the bed. Under the dim light, his skin was glowing with a l.u.s.ter, and her black hair was flowing down the top of her embroidered clothes.
"snake demon Ning, is that really you?" Wei Yuanwei was so excited that she actually called Ning Zheyan by her nickname secretly.
"Snake demon? If Miss Wei did not mention it, Zheyan would have forgotten, Miss Wei once killed Zheyan"s carefully nurtured poisonous python. Does Miss want to settle this debt with Zheyan today? " Ning Zheyan laughed so beautifully that it could topple nations.
Wei Yuanwei smiled obsequiously: "Since Master Master Ning has a lot of things, she naturally won"t bother with a little girl like me. Furthermore, I came here to see you today because I want to discuss business with you."
"Oh? "Tell me about it." Ning Zheyan folded his hands and looked at Wei Yuanwei lazily.
"Is Misty Castle lacking manpower?" Iris was willing to resolve the urgent matter of the Master Ning. Don"t worry Master Ning, these people look very similar to Iris. Since the Iris Sword is able to enter the eyes of Master Ning, these people should be able to meet the standards of handsome men and beautiful women in Yanyu Manor. " Wei Yuanwei said while grinning.
"You want me to help you save the people from Wei Mansion?" Ning Zheyan"s eyes flashed with surprise.
"Prime Minister Wei is indeed despicable, but it"s not a crime for women and children. Since this matter started because of the iris, Wei Yuanwei naturally did not want to stand idly by and watch." Although she hated those people who had humiliated her and wanted to put her to death, he still couldn"t bear to think of how those children who had learned their language would also be killed.
"Isn"t your man extremely capable? Why do you have to trouble Zheyan? What"s more, Miss Wei seems to have forgotten what Zheyan does. " He was the person who made the poison. She was able to create poisons that could chase after souls, and not the benevolent Buddha.
