Mountain and River Pillow: Chapter 18

Hearing this, Cao Yan frowned and hesitated: "Taifu, what does this mean?"

"How can you be so presumptuous before being loyal to your soul?!"

Master Xie said abruptly: "Cao Yan, not to mention that the Wei family has not been convicted yet, even if the Wei family is convicted, it is still the home of the fourth and third princes, as long as your majesty has not stripped the Wei family of the title, Then he is still the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, and you and other small communities are from the fourth-grade Dali Temple, and An dare to be so presumptuous?! Etiquette is the majesty of the emperor, don't you even think about the emperor?!"

Hearing this, Cao Yan's face changed dramatically.

If Chu Yu and others said this, it would not hurt or itch for Cao Yan. Because he knows that now everyone can't force the Wei family into trouble, how can they dare to go to the emperor with the Wei family's affairs?

What is the temper of the emperor now? He doesn't know how much he likes a courtier to indulge, but when he hates a courtier, he can't listen to the courtier's half-good words. Back then, the Gu family was considered a big family, so he only said a word to the King of Qin, how did it fall?

Cao Yan dared to make such a fuss, and he was certain that no one in the court would dare to speak for the Wei family.

As the teacher of the emperor, Mrs. Xie has always been favored by the emperor. If he wants to do this for the Wei family, Cao Yan has to think about it.

Don't say that Mr. Xie can't offend him. Even if he can, Mrs. Xie has always won the emperor's heart.

Cao Yan's heart turned back and forth for a while, and after a long time, he smiled and said: "Taifu is right, he is reckless. When he was thinking about etiquette, he misread the meaning of etiquette for a while. , I hope your lord, young lady, don't take offense."

Speaking, Cao Yan put away the whip and bowed respectfully towards Chu Yu: "Cao gave the young lady and the Wei family an apology."

He had a smile on his face and a sincere look. Chu Yu was helped up by Jiang Chun. She didn't look at Cao Yan, she walked straight towards Master Xie, and said with Master Xie, "Teacher, sit inside."

Mr. Xie looked at the coffins that were still outside, and said calmly, "Let Duke Zhen Guo and others go home first."

When the coffins were placed in the mourning hall, the people left. Chu Yu turned to look at Master Xie, bowed slightly, raised his hand and said, "Master, please."

Mr. Xie nodded and followed Chu Yu into the Wei residence.

Xie Jiu kept following behind Mrs. Xie, holding an umbrella for Mrs. Xie, and when she entered the courtyard, Mrs. Xie said slowly: "When Xie Jiu came to my mansion to find me, I thought she was here to ask me to help her. ."

Hearing this, Xie Jiu's hand trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes to hide her panic. Mrs. Xie glanced at her lightly, but there was no reproach in her eyes, she just said: "She has always been good at planning for herself, but today I am quite surprised, but I don't know how the young lady persuaded this girl?"

Chu Yu raised her hand and pushed aside the branch that was blocking the way for Mrs. Xie, with a steady voice: "Everyone has a heart, and the fifth young lady is also a person of temperament. ."

While speaking, the three of them came to the lobby. After taking off her shoes and stepping onto the corridor, after entering the lobby, Chu Yu greeted Mrs. Xie to take a seat, and then said with Mrs. Xie, "Taifu wait a moment, my concubine will come after a little grooming."

At this moment, Chu Yu's body is covered in mud and blood, but her attitude is too calm, so that people ignore the embarrassment on her body, and she never realizes that this person has long been like this.

Mrs. Xie nodded and raised her hand to signal Chu Yu to be casual. After Chu Yu returned to the room and changed into a plain clothes, she returned to the lobby. At this time, only Mrs. Xie was left in the lobby.

Mrs. Xie was drinking tea. The autumn rain was raining, and the hot tea condensed a rising mist in the air, covering Mrs. Xie's face.

He looks nearly seventy years old, with half a hundred temples, but due to proper maintenance, his figure is thin and slender, with extraordinary bearing, and he does not feel old.

Chu Yu knelt down opposite Mrs. Xie and served Mrs. Xie tea. Mrs. Xie glanced at her and said indifferently: "Young madam married to the Wei mansion, and it seems that she has never seen the face of the prince?"

When Chu Yu heard this, she knew that Mrs. Xie was relieved.

She conflicted with Cao Yan and pretended to be in such a worrisome manner in order to let Xie Jiu bring Mrs. Xie here. And after Xie Jiu brought Mrs. Xie here, her sobbing with a generous statement was only to arouse this person's emotions, so that this person couldn't help but take action.

In the past life, Mrs. Xie was the only person who publicly stood up to the Wei family. He was the teacher of the Son of Heaven. Back then, Wei Zhong was the companion of the Son of Heaven, and he was also Wei Zhong's teacher. He is not very similar to the Xie family in character. If the Xie family is selfish and only concerned with self-protection, then Mrs. Xie is an outlier of the Xie family. Even if he lives to this age, he still has a warm heart.

It was just too late when the previous generation, Mrs. Xie, spoke out. At that time, Wei Yun had been in the prison for a while. The place in Tianjing was mostly young people like Cao Yan. The Wei family made many enemies in those days. Wei Yun stayed in Tianjing, and one more day was torture.

So Chu Yu deliberately showed weakness and wanted to excite Mrs. Xie and let him see the tragic scene at home that he used to be proud of, plus Mrs. Xie's little conscience, and Mrs. Xie's attitude towards the emperor Understand, Mrs. Xie is going to take action in all likelihood.

Chu Yu's mind changed quickly, so she smiled calmly: "I have met once, and the relationship is still good."

Mrs. Xie snorted coldly, "Young Madam is very calculating."

"If Taifu is unintentional, how can the concubine figure out Taifu?"

Chu Yu looked at Master Xie: "What is the meaning in the heart of the Holy Master, don't Master Master understand?"

Hearing this, Master Xie was silent, Chu Yu was certain, for the emperor, sure enough, he did not want to kill the Wei family.

This is also true, if you want to kill the Wei family cleanly, there will be no Wei Yun left in the last life.

I don't want to kill, and I am angry at the Wei family on the bright side, why is this? What is the matter, the emperor dare not let others know that he actually intends to let the Wei family go?

Chu Yu pondered seriously, but with a face that she already knew, she lowered her head to pour tea for herself, and said confidently: "Your Majesty wants to find someone to carry this pot, don't you feel any guilt in your heart? Seven? Ten thousand elite soldiers, seven good generals..."

"You..." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xie showed a shocked expression, but he quickly suppressed it and said nervously, "What do you know?"

Master Xie frowned and watched Chu Yu hand him the tea: "Master, do you like to gamble?"

Mr. Xie didn't pick up the tea, he stared at Chu Yu. Chu Yu's eyes have always been like this, calm and calm, without the slightest panic. Since he met her, this woman who was obviously only a girl's age showed a calmness that was beyond her age.

Seeing Mrs. Xie's vigilant scrutiny, Chu Yu held tea in both hands and placed it in front of Mrs. Xie, and continued: "The Wei family today is just a gambling game in the court. On the other side, no one is willing to suppress the Weifu, but if someone suppresses the Weifu, then one person monopolizes all the benefits."

"Taifu," Chu Yu looked solemn: "If Qilang, who can be saved this time, is released from prison, my Wei family can make a promise to Taifu, and if there is anything in the future, the Wei family can unconditionally. One concession."

Mrs. Xie did not speak, and seemed to be thinking. Chu Yu continued: "If the Grand Master wins the bet, what you will get is the Sacred Heart, an absolutely reliable ally of the Wei House. But if the Grand Master loses, the Grand Master is His Majesty's teacher, and with His Majesty's temperament, he will Nothing will be done to you, will it?"

Master Xie's expression was a little shaken, Chu Yu stared at him, and her tone was quite eager: "Master, this big gamble is guaranteed to make money."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie smiled.

"The eldest daughter of the Chu family," he looked up at her: "You don't have any feelings for Wei Shizi, why do you want to do this?"

"For conscience." Chu Yu spoke calmly, but there was irreversible firmness in her voice.

"There are always people who have to sacrifice in this world. The sacrificed person is a hero. I can't be a hero. Then I must at least protect these heroes and not fall into the trap."

"I never blame Xie Jiu or others," her topic suddenly turned to others, Mrs. Xie was quite surprised, Chu Yu took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "All the people in this world Ordinary people are kind-hearted, but they also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Xie Jiu, Yao Jue, Zhang Han, Wang Lan, their choices are not wrong, they are just ordinary people."

"But some people sacrificed and became heroes, and some people became ordinary people, so naturally there must be someone who is between ordinary people and heroes. Follow the footsteps of admiring heroes and regard them as Faith, maintain it, preserve it."

"This road is very hard." Mrs. Xie felt a little regretful. Chu Yu said casually, "But someone has to leave."

Someone has to sacrifice, someone has to pay.

Being an ordinary person is not a sin, and someone who can pay more should be respected.

Mrs. Xie looked at Chu Yu quietly, and after a long time, he picked up the tea that Chu Yu was holding to her and took a sip.

"Wait a while, go to the ancestral hall to hold the Wei family's spiritual seat and kneel in front of the palace gate. If Wei Yun can't come out, you kneel."

Chu Yu nodded and saw Mrs. Xie stand up slowly, she frowned and said, "What else?"

"I'm the rest."

Master Xie sighed and said with some regret: "Young Madam, Your Majesty is not as hard-hearted as you think. Wei Zhong is young and accompanied by reading, and then accompanied by the king, and then protect the family and the country, and protect the king for a lifetime. ,His Majesty…"

He didn't finish speaking, and finally just shook his head and hid all the words in this autumn rain.

However, at this point, Chu Yu also understood what Mrs. Xie meant. She took a step back, bent down, gave a deep bow, and said sincerely, "Chu Yu thanked Master Fu for the Wei family."

Mr. Xie nodded, walked out, took a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Yu.

He watched silently for a while, then nodded and said, "Although she is a woman, I am very relieved to have a young man like you in Da Chu."

Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Xie turned around and walked into the wind and rain.
