Chapter 171 The Weak Wife of a Servant Is a Heartthrob 35
These words were somewhat puzzling, and Yun Chen even felt as if the space had stopped.
He touched his nose guiltily, feeling that there was something ambiguous just now, and continued: "Thank you, it was my negligence. Forgive me for being absent from your life for such a long time. In the future, I will protect you as your brother."
Yunzhi did not react to his words. She still remembered being isolated and helpless in the Yun Mansion. She also remembered the painful days when she and her mother were driven to the farm.
If it weren't for Wen Jin, she wouldn't even be alive today.
At that time, everyone in the Yun Mansion spoke for her half-sister as if they were possessed.
Even stepped on her to make her half sister happy.
At that time, she just felt that the world was crazy. Now that she had finally escaped from the devil's cave, she no longer had the days of hoping that someone could protect her and save her.
Because she has been waiting for someone who can protect her and save her.
But now, that person is gone.
Her eyes were dim, and Yun Chen mistakenly thought that it was what he had done before that hurt her feelings, and he just wanted to show his loyalty to her.
Yunzhi interrupted him, "There's no need to do that. I think I'm living a good life now. As for what happened today, why did I hear that the third young lady was getting married?"
"Don't you want her to get married? Now you want me to take over."
There was a lot of sarcasm in these words. Yun Chen thought of all the troubles his concubine sister had caused in the past. Indeed, Yun Zhi was the one who had to bear all the responsibilities. His face flushed with shame. It turned out that he used to be the kind of person who couldn't tell right from wrong.
"You misunderstood, you misunderstood, it's not like that."
But Yun Chen's explanation now seemed so pale, after all, he was the one who said he wanted to sever ties.
He was like a fool at that time. He ignored his own sister and instead helped the daughter of a concubine. Even now he finds it unbelievable.
I could only repeat dryly: "You really misunderstood."
"What did I misunderstand? Was everything you did before fake?"
Yun Chen was speechless after being asked the question. He knew that Yun Zhi would not believe anything he said now.
He gritted his teeth, leaned close to Yunzhi's ear and said, "No matter what you think. I really want to do good for you now. The emperor said that he wants to marry you, and you can't be the queen if you remarry, so you are the third lady."
It wasn't that the concubine sister didn't want to get married, so Yunzhi pushed her. On the contrary, the concubine sister was clamoring to marry the emperor, and even said crazy things like history can't be changed. He coaxed her for a long time before leaving.
"If you don't want to marry the emperor, I can help you."
He has now completely forgotten the so-called Yun Mansion and even his own career.
It seemed that as long as Yunzhi nodded, he would give up everything and do anything for her.
It's a pity that Yunzhi didn't believe her.
"No, I don't need your help. I can walk on my own."
Yunzhi held his hand, got down from the sedan chair with difficulty and was about to leave.
That beautiful face caught others' eyes unexpectedly.
"Fairy!"
An old man leaning on a cane shouted in surprise, and after a moment of silence, the crowd started to make all kinds of noise, shouting words like "fairy" and even rushing forward.
He wished he could turn himself into the land under Yunzhi's feet, or into the clothes Yunzhi wore. It didn't matter as long as he could be closer to her.
Those people were so crazy that even the guards beside them couldn't stop them.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more chaotic, Yun Chen frowned, hurriedly put the veil back on, and stuffed Yunzhi back into the sedan chair.
"There are many people here, don't worry. I will definitely rescue you."
He was the one who helped the evil in the beginning, but that didn't stop him from wanting to rescue the people now.
"Just trust me this time," he pleaded, "It's okay even if you don't want to recognize me as your brother in the future. I just want to help you."
You definitely can't escape here. Once we enter the palace, I will find a way to save you.
Although the palace was heavily guarded, as Yunzhi's brother, and the brother of the future Empress, he still had the right to come and go freely.
What's more, he was the one who personally sent Yunzhi into the palace for the wedding today. The guards coming in and out all knew him, so it would not be difficult to replace the person inside.
As for the consequences, he didn't want to think about it.
He has done too many wrong things over the years. It's not that he has never regretted it, but every time he regretted it, it was as if he was under some kind of spell and he quickly forgot the emotion.
As time went by, he became more and more numb.
Now I have finally come to my senses. I just hope it's not too late.
He also knew that Yun's father was a profit-seeking person and he never considered him as a son, but rather as some kind of chess piece.
He felt a little painful when he thought of his mother, who had always loved him so much.
His mother had passed away, and he had lived in a daze all these years and had never paid homage to her.
Perhaps Yunzhi is the only real relative left.
Yunzhi looked at the man's resolute face and hesitated. Should she believe him?
She looked at the guards who surrounded her, and finally sat back in the sedan chair obediently.
With such tight security, it is impossible to just walk out like this. I can only trust him.
The fairy returned to the sedan chair, and the people gradually regained their composure as they could no longer see her.
After a while, as the sedan chair was lifted up again and the number of guards around increased, Yunzhi slowly got closer and closer to the palace.
Fengzao Palace was built a long time ago. This palace, which consumed countless manpower to build, was decorated with lights and finally welcomed its hostess.
Yun Chen held Yun Zhi's hand and crossed the threshold of the palace. As the emperor, Gu Linfei could naturally stay here all the time.
He took Yunzhi's hand and sent her into the palace.
Years of delusion finally came true, and even a man like him, who was always cunning, couldn't help but show some joy on his face.
If the person at the top is in a good mood, the officials below will naturally be happy.
Everyone was toasting and drinking at the banquet, and Prince Duan was among them. A maid poured wine for him, and he took it and drank it all in one gulp.
This glass of strong liquor could not quench the anger in his heart. His current mood was almost the opposite of that of the emperor on the podium.
The assassin he sent out was already the most powerful one under his command. He originally wanted to stab the bride to death in public, and then show up at the right time to expose the fact that the so-called Third Miss of the Yun Mansion was the widow of General Wen. However, he failed.
But he was so depressed not because of his failure, but because he had just had a quick look at that stunning beauty.
Unfortunately, that beauty is now someone else’s wife, and the person he hates the most.
First it was Wen Jin, and then it was his good brother. He missed so much.
Yunzhi, he had looked up this name a long time ago, and didn't think much of it at the time, but now, just thinking of this name, he felt infinite joy.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never longed for something so much.
He lowered his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, hiding the determination in his eyes.
After he seizes power, the position and Yunzhi will naturally be his.
Let's give it to the emperor for a few days. What's wrong with making him happy?
He put on a smiling mask again and said to Gu Linfei: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your beautiful wife. However, I met the Third Miss of the Yun Mansion a few days ago. Why does she look a little different from the Queen? Could it be that someone is impersonating the Queen?"
"That's really ridiculous. Your Majesty should investigate further."
As soon as he said this, the entire banquet seemed to be paused. The ministers lowered their heads again, not daring to say a word.
The emperor actually did not hide it. It might be some kind of showing off, or it might be the result of years of depression. Many people knew that the queen was General Wen’s widow.
But even so, no one else dared to say anything.
Now that the emperor holds great power, these people in the court are dispensable. Even if half of them are killed, he can always gather a group of new ministers who may even be more obedient than them.
They just turned a blind eye to it. After all, who would go against the emperor?
Their silence did not affect Prince Duan.
Prince Duan continued, "I think this queen is similar to Madam Wen."
Gu Linfei put down the cup heavily, "Prince Duan, you are joking. The one I married this time is obviously the third lady of the Wen family."
"They are both daughters of the same family, so they are probably somewhat similar, but there is no need to make a fuss."
There is some similarity, Prince Duan almost laughed out loud, they are exactly the same.
He glanced at the eldest princess sitting at the top.
Humph! This old woman said to him that Gu Linfei was a wise ruler. It seems that Gu Linfei is even crazier than him.
A general who fought for his country on the battlefield has begun to forcibly seize the wife of a minister before the mourning period is over. Even he cannot do such a thing. He should at least wait for a period of time when the situation is calm before taking action.
But when he thought of Yunzhi's beautiful face, he felt that even a day of her life seemed unbearable.
If he were faced with such a beauty, he would also want to find someone to snatch it back.
"Don't worry about this matter. My dear minister, you are worrying too much. No one in this capital dares to mess around in the palace."
After dealing with those people, Gu Linfei hurried back to Fengzao Palace. He stopped at the door and straightened his bright red clothes.
He specially picked one to match Yunzhi, but he didn't know whether she liked it or not.
Gu Linfei pushed the door open after making enough mental preparations. The next moment, he turned around with a dark face and shouted angrily, "Someone come here."
A team of armored soldiers came forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Highness."
"Go check if anyone has entered this Fengzao Palace."
The leading soldier looked through the crack in the door and saw that it was completely empty. The queen who was going to get married today was not there at all.
"Yes!"
He lowered his head in horror. It seemed that he was in big trouble, but it was not something he could just hide from.
The capital was under martial law, and the Protector General personally led a team to search every house.
It was a day of celebration for the whole city during the day, but as soon as night fell, it became a mess.
There were some who, relying on their high official positions, refused the search, but when they saw the Protector General who was one level higher in rank than his father, they gave up the idea of resisting.
I was just surprised in my heart, wondering what had happened and what had caused such a big commotion.
Yunzhi was led past layers of defense, her bright red skirt winding beneath her. The man was an excellent martial artist, but he was not sent by his brother.
"who are you?"
