[R18] (Quickly wear it) Baby, you are with the wrong person – Chapter 304 of “(Quickly Wear) Baby You Are with the Wrong Person” [English]

​‍‌​‍‌☆、Emperor Policy 24

Hooray, there was another gust of wind, and the candle flame became fainter and fainter, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment.Just like the thin neck under his palm, Xiao Yu felt the weak pulse and shallow breathing through the slowly tightening force…

Finally, he let go.

Tick-tock, tick-tock… the sound was neither fast nor slow, just like before, as if it was going to ring forever.For no reason, Xiao Yu remembered her request, “If we can have a child, I will come with you when he grows up.”

What did he answer at that time?He wants her to understand that he promised to give her a child but refused to leave with her.From beginning to end, he never gave up the idea of ​​revenge.

He uses words to test her, whether he deliberately mentions Cui Jun, or accuses her of not trusting him, he is all trying to dispel her vigilance and defense.He allowed nobles and noble families to compete for places in the harem. He knew that she would not be able to choose concubines widely, but he watched with cold eyes and allowed her reputation among the courtiers to become more and more shaky.Then he threw out that memorial at the juncture when the family was becoming more distrustful of her, pushing her into an even more dangerous situation.

This is step by step, link by link, link by link, step by step.He never doubted how smart he was and could easily wield power at his fingertips.He has never been shy about how despicable he is, and he can use anything, including his own feelings.

But at that moment, she stood in front of him without hesitation, making him feel ashamed.

He thought he finally understood. At that time, his answer was not to promise her a child. He just wanted to say that I am not worthy, not worthy of such a pure relationship, let alone you.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the inner room, Linxia straightened up subconsciously and stepped forward: “Your Highness, the saint…”

“The saint is not awake yet,” the regent replied calmly, “the imperial doctor will come again tomorrow to take good care of the saint.” After that, he left.It was obviously a normal tone, and it was obviously that person, but Linxia felt that there seemed to be something different about the regent.

he seems to be shrouded in unpredictable fog, but it is not as unfathomable as before, but like a sharp star, slowly falling, slowly falling… and finally fell into the dim ashes.

On October 12, an explicit edict was issued, announcing the final verdict on all the rebel parties involved in the “Clan Rebellion.”This seemed to be a sign that the incident that shocked the world was about to end, but the next day at the DPRK meeting, a memorandum sent the DPRK situation into a sinister wave again.

The imperial censor Chen Qi impeached the regent Xiao Yu for raising private soldiers and secretly making weapons. His disobedience was clearly exposed and his crime was extremely heinous.Starting from this memorial, bullets flew like snowflakes towards the emperor’s imperial court. In addition to the most serious suspicion of rebellion, there were those who participated in Xiao Yu’s party to fight against dissidents, some who participated in Xiao Yu’s personal enrichment, and even those who participated in the murder of his slaves.

The courtiers of the regent’s line were caught off guard, but Xiao Yu claimed to be ill and refused to go to court. For a moment, everyone lost their backbone and had no idea how to deal with it.Yao Ji had to say something: “The regent is the great hero in quelling the chaos. If he is not taught to defend himself, wouldn’t it be a chill in the hero’s heart? Since the regent is sick today, this matter will be discussed after he recovers.”

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers knew that the emperor wanted to return to protect the regent. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief to Mingchu. As soon as the court came to court, he quickly ordered someone to send a letter to the regent’s palace: “Go and tell His Highness that the aristocratic family wants to participate in he!” After dealing with it, he complained to the imperial censor, “What’s going on with Chen Qi? The aristocratic family wants to attack His Highness, but you don’t know?!”

The censor doctor was also furious. Chen Qi was his subordinate. Although he had always been at odds with him because he came from a wealthy family, today he didn’t get any news in advance. It was really a slap in his face.After finally staying up until sunset, the two of them hurried to the Regent’s Palace. When they got there, several high-ranking officials from the court had already arrived.

Several people looked gloomy. Prince Shi stood aside and smiled, seeing Xiang Mingchu coming. Before he could speak, a servant inside said: “Your Highness refuses to see us.”

Xiang Mingchu was stunned, and Chang Shi took the opportunity to step forward: “His Highness has given the order. Your Highness is fully aware of the matter. You don’t need to panic or do anything. Just wait and see what happens.”

After hearing this, several people thought that the regent had already made follow-up arrangements. Although full of suspicion, they all went back home.But the development of the situation made them more and more puzzled. Although the emperor suppressed the matter, the criticism of the regent in the court became more and more intense day by day.In addition to aristocratic families, even nobles and nobles got involved.

Before this, due to the great power of the family, the nobles had always cooperated with the regent in order to compete with it.However, as the aristocratic family’s vitality was seriously damaged due to the “Family Rebellion”, this balance was broken. The aristocratic families were afraid that the always tough regent would kill them, so they united with the nobles and turned against the regent.

Today we are friends, but tomorrow we may be enemies. The situation in the court is changing rapidly and turbulent. Although there is obvious favoritism from the emperor, Yao Ji has not yet taken charge of the government personally, and she already feels that she can no longer bear it.

The “Family Rebellion” inevitably exposed the decline of the family, and also made them like frightened birds. They could no longer tolerate the existence of a regent who had a tough attitude towards the family.So they even brought up the charge of rebellion. The scene where Shen Qi was imprisoned a few years ago was reproduced, and rebellion was more serious than collaborating with the enemy and treason!

Even Zhang Jingan tactfully advised Yao Ji when she was alone: ​​”The instability of the court is not a blessing to the country. A saint should know that only by giving up can you gain.” Only by giving up a regent can the heart of the family and the hearts of the courtiers be at ease.

But Yao Ji refused: “I know what I should give up, and I don’t need you to comment on it.”

With her performance like this, the courtiers were naturally more and more dissatisfied. Her reputation had been damaged because Yao Ji supported Xiao Yu’s implementation of the trial strategy. At this time, people were panicking, and her situation suddenly became more and more difficult.What made her even more anxious was that the eunuch she sent to the palace gave the same reply every time: “His Royal Highness is ill and thanking guests, and no one has been seen.”

“You asked him,” she finally threw the pen on the table, “am I missing too?!”

After all, Xiao Yu was not so decisive. The next day, the regent, who had been shut up for half a month, entered the palace.On the road from the palace to the forbidden city, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were watching him.Xiao Yu didn’t look like he was recovering from a serious illness at all, and Yao Ji knew it well, that was just his excuse.

It was already autumn at this time. In the large square outside Tai Chi Palace, the autumn wind swirled and rolled up the dead leaves. The autumn sunlight cast long shadows on the golden tiles through the window lattice. He walked in facing the light, her face seemed to be unclear. Yao Ji calmed down and her eyebrows were as usual.It seemed that the fleeting distance just now was just her illusion, but for no reason, coldness spread upward from her fingertips.

She originally had a lot to say, asking him why he didn’t go to court to defend himself, and telling him that she had been waiting for him these days. She knew everything, those old things in the past, those painful memories. She didn’t know what his answer was, but no matter what he thought or what he wanted to do, she believed in him and would never take back that request.

But she couldn’t say anything. She stared at Xiao Yuwu and bowed. After the ceremony, she still knelt on the ground.

She understood. The coldness flowed down her limbs and into her blood vessels, seeming to freeze her heart hard.

“I am guilty, and I came to the palace today to plead guilty.”

After a long time, Yao Ji heard herself say with difficulty: “What’s the crime?”

“Rebellion.”

In the corner, the living annotator, who was busy writing, paused slightly when he heard the words, and raised his head in surprise, wondering whether he should write this stroke.And when the emperor spoke, she seemed to be smiling, but the smile was like a sad cry: “Okay, okay…rebellion…”

“Is this your choice?”

The regent seemed to hesitate, his lips opened and closed, and finally he lowered his eyes and no longer looked at the man sitting on the throne: “Yes.”

On October 23, the regent Xiao Yu was imprisoned for the crime of disrespect. He was pardoned because he had assisted the government for many years and had served the country well. In order to punish his arrogance, he was deprived of the regent’s title and imprisoned in the government. He could not be granted a general amnesty.

In August of the following year, Queen Yuan gave birth to a son, who was crowned the prince on the spot and named Xi.

Crown Prince Xiao Xi was born smart. He was enlightened at the age of two and began to be involved in political affairs at the age of five. When he was five years old, Yao Ji told him everything about his life experience. The little child still couldn’t understand: “So, my father is actually my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law is also my mother-in-law? Then… where is my father?”

Yao Ji touched the top of his hair and said, “Your father… has been in seclusion at home for six years.”

“But the Grand Tutor said, Regent, no, my father was imprisoned by grandma’s decree.” After all, it was because he was still young. Xiao Xi mentioned that the court situation was also stumbling. “The Taifu also said that at that time, if grandma did not confine daddy, she would not be able to appease the family, so for the sake of the stability of the court, she had to do it. This is the emperor’s choice.”

Yao Ji smiled, only she and Xiao Yu knew that although the will was made by her, the choice was made by Xiao Yu himself.He chose self-exile, but not to stabilize the situation.

More than ten years of hatred, more than ten years of obsession, he can’t let go at once, but he can’t hurt Yao Ji for it.If he stayed in the court, he would either commit rebellion or give up revenge. But how could he let go of such a bloody feud? How could he be worthy of his parents and relatives who died tragically?

The cruelest choice in the world is this. At that moment, Yao Ji understood that she was naive and unbearable. They would have no results after all. From that night nineteen years ago, there would be no more.

So she didn’t say anything, didn’t tell Xiao Yu that she was two months pregnant and that it was their child.If you say it, Xiao Yu will be shaken, and this is nothing more than forcing him.He is willing to give up the throne that is within his reach for himself, and she is willing to let him go for the sake of he.

“Then,” Xiao Xi frowned and thought hard, “Is dad still in the palace? Or has he left.”

“He is still there.” Yao Ji replied affirmatively. In the past few years, he and she have never met, but she just knows that he is there.

Hearing this, Xiao Xi suddenly became excited. He grabbed Yao Ji’s sleeve and shook it: “Aniang, Aniang… Aniang said that when I grow up, Aniang will live in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, right?” Seeing Yao Ji nodding, his eyes seemed to be shining with stars, “Then Aniang can go to find daddy. Then Aniang will no longer be the emperor. When Aniang finds daddy, I can also see daddy. I miss daddy… okay, mommy.”

“Da Lang wants to see Dad?”

“Yeah!” Xiao Xi nodded heavily.

Yao Ji smiled softly. She didn’t know whether she was coaxing Xiao Xi or giving herself a hope: “The old man should grow up quickly. When the old man can be on his own, my father… will come to see the old man and my mother-in-law.”

On the eighth day of February in the sixteenth year of Yuan’an, the prince Xiao Xi, who was only ten years old, retired to Shangyang Palace.In March of the same year, the prince succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the whole country.

Just after the new emperor’s decree of amnesty was issued, the first ray of sunshine this spring shone into the Prince Wu’s Mansion, which had been closed for eleven years.The man sat by the window and placed a piece on the chess scale. His hands were still slender and strong, as if time had never stopped here.

“Your Highness,” Prince Cheng Feng ran in excitedly, without even having time to salute, holding up a newspaper in his hand, “The new emperor has succeeded to the throne and has granted a general amnesty to the world. Your Highness has been pardoned!”

Completely different from Cheng Feng’s cheerful reaction, the man just stood up after finishing a game of chess.The vermilion embellished with gold brocade robe on his body was no longer bright. Only then did Cheng Feng realize that His Highness was wearing old clothes from eleven years ago.It’s just that when he wears the old clothes, he still looks as noble as he did eleven years ago, making people dare not look at him.But only he knows that the sharpness hidden under the carelessness of the past has faded. In the long years, the unwillingness and pain have finally dispersed, leaving only confusion and longing.

Seeing him walking out, Chengfeng quickly trotted to follow him: “Where are you going, Your Highness?”

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice: “Go and meet someone.”
