Chapter 181 He Who Cares First Loses First
e concubine had lived there for over a year, feeling hopeless and took her own life by hanging. 。 Li Xiaohan was demoted from Empress Dowager to Imperial Noble Consort. None of the other Imperial No...Understand Ye Fei Zhou didn't understand before, but now it seems like he understands a little.
In order to please his parents and get enough attention at home, he tried many ways. 。He went to the martial arts world, helped out with housework, and even when he received a letter from his love interest asking him to kill four people, he didn't hesitate to do it. 。 What did he get in the end When his father and mother were imprisoned in Qihua Pavilion, their worst plan was to throw him out as a scapegoat. They even thought of letting him shoulder all the burdens alone in exchange for the safety of others. 。Then what is he in that house What were his parents born for"Your Majesty knows there are many things you don't understand, but it's not really important. You just keep getting stuck in it and refuse to come out. 。"Quan Qingyun reached out and gently placed his hand on Fei Zhou's head. "Fei Zhou, your home in Lin'an City isn't an exception. Many official residences are like this, and there are many people like you." 。"For example, just look at us, the princes left behind by our late emperor. We have so many brothers, but in the end, only one can become emperor. Isn't that unfair to the rest of us"
Ye Fei Zhou's eyes were bloodshot, and he retorted in a hoarse voice: "But you all have your own mansions, titles and ranks, unlike me"
"Why aren't you like us" Quan Qingyun sighed heavily, "Actually, we're just the same as you, it's just that you put too much emphasis on that family, while we don't." 。We don't consider it our home, just our country. 。
If you don't expect so much from familial relationships, then there won't be so much disappointment in them.
The reason people lose is because they care. Whoever cares first, has already lost. 。The night-flying boat said no more, leaning against the carriage and closing his eyes to rest. 。
But this god hadn't been raised for long before Quan Qingyun asked him another question: "Who is the red-clothed young master standing beside Ye Wenyan"
Ye Fei Zhou's heart skipped a beat, but there wasn't much change on his face. He just shook his head: "I don't know either, only that the two of them should be old acquaintances, and that young master has been helping her with things.
"It must be a doctor from a medical clinic in the outer city!"
Quan Qingyun sneered, "Ye Fei Zhou, ever since you were six years old, this king has been able to tell which of your words are true and which are false"
" Night Fei Zhou continued to close his eyes and remain silent. He refused to reveal anything about the identity of the young master in red. 。Actually, there wasn't much to it. Ye Wenyan hadn't introduced him to anything, everything was his guess. How could this be"Forget it" 。After a long silence, Quan Qingyun conceded first, "I've always been like this, and I just can't help myself when it comes to you." 。Alright, you don't want to, and I won't force you. When we reach the inner city, if you want to return to the General's Mansion, you can. If you don't, come back to the Prince's Mansion with me. 。The house was renovated last year, and it's still quite sturdy. 。He got up and moved to sit by the Night Flying Boat. 。The road was uneven, and the carriage jolted terribly. The cabin swayed back and forth, and the night-flying boat occasionally bumped against it. 。He simply pressed his head against his shoulder, "If you're tired, just sleep. I'll wake you when we reach the inner city." 。Rescue efforts outside the city are still ongoing, because it covers a much larger area than the inner city and has a much larger population, making rescue work more difficult. 。The imperial court sent batches of forbidden troops to all directions, north, south, east, and west, to clear the ruins and search for those who were still missing. 。Those who were rescued would be taken to the waiting carriages and quickly sent towards Ye Wen's place. 。Thus, after another night passed, it was already the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year. 。People gather together to gossip, firstly to alleviate their pain, and secondly because there is really nothing else to do. 。Chatter after chatter, they talked until it was the big New Year. Someone then said: “This year's situation is just too unclear. The ground dragon flipping over on the first day of the new year is such a bad omen.” 。"If things don't improve, this year will be tough. People in the inner city are doing alright, but what about us who live in the outer city How are we going to make it"
Some people even said, "If it really gets that bad, we'll just leave Lin'an and go back to our hometowns. Maybe we'll move to the countryside and grow some vegetables ourselves. At least that's better than having to buy everything in Lin'an city."
Some people disagree with this: "It's easy to say. I've lived in Lin'an for over thirty years, is it just something you can walk away from If you have money, you go back and return home in fine clothes. Now going back is called fleeing, who would want to see us Anyway, my hometown is a place I can't go back to. My parents passed away a few years ago, the house and land were given to my older brother's wife, if I drag my family back, I have to live with my brother-in-law's family, under their noses. It's better to just tough it out in Lin'an City." 。Moreover, the court is not completely ignoring us now. Some people are provided with medical treatment, and some are given tents to sleep in. The only issue is that there's less food, and the congee is too watery, clearly indicating a shortage of rice. 。It's bearable for a while, but if it goes on any longer, things will be tough. 。"
“You guys, how have you become so unlucky this year Is it related to the newly enthroned emperor The emperor's misfortune brings national calamity. Could this be a sign given by your master”
These words were overheard by Ye Chu Lian who was coming over at that time. She stopped in her tracks and stared at him, making the man in his thirties or forties feel embarrassed. She then spoke: “A dragon turning over is a disaster; it hasn't happened before either. Could it be that every emperor who experiences a dragon turning over is doomed”
The man replied, “That’s not what I meant. It’s mainly because the timing is bad, the first day of the year! The year hasn't even started yet, and the house has collapsed with people buried inside. This is too coincidental..." 。"Could a ground dragon even be expected to choose an auspicious day to turn over To avoid the good days for humans" Ye Chulian frowned and asked, "If that's really the case, then flipping through the yellow calendar, there are hardly any bad days..." 。Besides, look at those busy Imperial Guards outside. They were sent by the court to help the people in the outer city. This is all the Emperor's doing. 。"You're here enjoying the Emperor's kindness, yet you also remember his bad deeds. Don't you feel guilty"
The man was a little displeased, "Why does every sentence you speak defend the Emperor We're just discussing this matter, and we haven't said he's necessarily wrong. Your reaction is too extreme!"
Ye Chu Lian was puzzled, "Am I agitated I don't feel particularly agitated. I'm just reasoning with you. It's you who is more agitated and relatively extreme." >>> 。As for gossiping about this matter, when did the Northern Qi laws become enlightened enough to allow open discussion of the sovereign If the previous emperor were still alive, would you dare speak such words It's clear you are taking advantage of the current emperor's youth and lack of experience in ruling, emboldening you to be so unrestrained. 。But you have to remember, even though he never took the throne, he is still the emperor of Northern Qi, still a member of the imperial family, and still not someone who can be taken out into the streets to be discussed at random. 。Please be cautious with your words and refrain from implicating others. 。Ye Chu's heart clenched. He had come to clean his wound, but after her words he was left feeling hurt. He stormed off without getting his wound treated and instead went to attend to others. 。That person only felt regret, and clenched their mouth shut, secretly blaming themselves for being so talkative and having the audacity to discuss the emperor. 。Ye Chu Lian felt very unhappy in her heart. How could she describe it It was like having a stranger scolding your best friend right in front of you. If you didn't retort a few times, it would be an insult to your friend. 。Besides, there's nothing wrong with friends to begin with. 。She knew she wasn't worthy to be the emperor's friend, but after their conversation on New Year's Eve, she could at least claim to know him! Besides, she thought he was a good emperor. Even if there was no Regent King to assist him in the future, he would surely be able to stabilize the court. 。As for the rumors of a dragon turning over, that has absolutely nothing to do with the Emperor. She cannot allow people to think this way, nor can she let such thoughts spread. 。Then she told the maidservant Suixi: "You pay attention. Whenever you hear something similar to what that person just said, immediately refute it." 。"Just tell him as I said, and above all, make sure no one starts gossiping about the emperor's health. Understand" Sui Xi immediately nodded and even went to tell Zhuai'er and Jiang Fenglian too. 。Then Zhu'er became furious: “Whose is it Who was that person just now I’ll beat him to death!” Jiang Feng also thought this was a bit too much, but he wouldn’t kill him. However, he definitely wasn’t going to let him get away with it. 。He stared in one direction for a long time, relieved that Fourth Sister hadn't heard him. If she had, things would have gotten ugly. 。If Night Fourth Sister gets angry, the Emperor must appease him. Who knows if he'll just cast a spell and send someone to meet the King of Hell Their Emperor is truly hot-tempered. 。A few people discussed the matter urgently, and then each began to pay attention to people's conversations 。
It's true that the discussion about the Emperor has subsided, but some people still believe that this dragon turning over is an ill omen, a bad sign. They ponder why such an unlucky event occurred and what went wrong.
Ye Chu Lian was very worried, she found Ye Wen Yan about this matter. Ye Wen Yan didn't seem to care much, he only told Ye Chu Lian: "People are like that, whenever something bad happens, they must find a reason to blame it on someone else, so as to lighten the psychological burden and also to exonerate themselves." 。
If things are like this on a small scale, they will be even more so on a large scale.
Therefore, it is normal to have such discussions and debates about the emperor. 。As for how to resolve this matter, we needn't worry too much. If even Quán Qīngchéng can't handle something like this, then his throne won't be secure anyway. 。"Fourth Sister, aren't you in a hurry" 。Let it all be a test for him, and he will encounter many more hardships than this in the future. 。We can help him once, but we can't help him countless times. People always have to grow up. 。As night fell, snowflakes began to fall, and they grew larger and larger. 。The Imperial Guard set up tents wherever they could, but it still wasn't enough to house everyone. 。Bai Shili returned to Yan Huagong once more, and when he came back again, he had a food box in his hands. 。Ye Wenyan, while eating, started pondering something. She told Shi Liyuan: "Treating to this extent has already reached its limit. No matter how hard we try, we only have so much energy and cannot expand the scope of treatment." 。
And there are still so many people waiting in line, they can't wait any longer, and we can't afford to keep them waiting.
So I thought of a way, hear me out…" Zhaolian. 。When Zhao Lian was in the midst of swinging a chair at Ye Wen's head during that January festival, he was there. Afterwards, he heard everything they said. 。Then can Feng Zhaolian be cons...
