Chapter 470: Sit down and talk.
"Ninth Disciple is not feeling well and should rest well in the house. Why are you going out now?" Chu Lan asked.
"I'm here to pick up my guest." Wei Jin also said, his breath was weak and his voice was as weak as a gossamer. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Wei Ruo.
Their eyes met, and Wei Ruo felt grateful.
She was most afraid of facing Chu Lan, and she didn't know how to escape.
When he came, she felt much more at ease.
Chu Lan took in the expressions of the two of them, and his eyes sank slightly: "I didn't know that Ninth Brother valued his disciples so much." "
Xu Qing has great medical skills, and he helped me save my life." Wei Jin also said.
Hearing this, Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo again: "I don't want Mr. Xu to save the lives of both of our brothers at the same time."
Wei Ruo said: "The common people are scared, but it's just a coincidence. The common people don't know that they are so honored to save two people at the same time. Your Majesty."
Chu Lan asked, "We both have a life-saving grace, but we just don't know what the difference is between me and my ninth brother, which makes Mr. Xu treat me so differently." Wei Ruo didn't know how to answer this
.
I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but she actually heard a hint of jealousy in Chu Lan's words.
Chu Lan, he is Chu Lan. In the original novel, the countless women in his backyard compete for him every day and are jealous of the male protagonist Chu Lan!
He actually became jealous of her, a woman he didn't even look at in the original novel?
It must be an illusion! She disguised herself as a man, and no matter how much Chu Lan changed, she would never turn into a man with a habit of cutting off his sleeves.
Wei Jin also said to Chu Lan: "Brother Seventh Emperor, it's getting late. Xu Qing is tired from running around all day today. I'm going to take him back home to rest." Chu Lan did not agree immediately and looked at Wei with a sullen face
. like.
Wei Jin did not wait for Chu Lan's reply and directly ordered his subordinates to take Wei Ruo away.
Chu Lan couldn't stop him even if he didn't want to, unless he wanted to be included in the book by Wei Jin.
When passing by Chu Lan, Wei Ruo lowered her head and did not look at him, but Chu Lan's eyes were always on her.
Wei Ruo followed Wei Jinyi's footsteps and entered Prince Rui's Mansion.
Wei Ruo didn't let out a sigh of relief until the door of the mansion was closed.
Seeing Wei Ruo's appearance, Wei Jin also looked slightly calm: "Ruo'er seems a little afraid of King Jing?" "
Yes, a little." Wei Ruo admitted.
"Next time this happens again, if I'm not with you, let someone come find me." Wei Jin also said.
Wei Ruo nodded, then looked at Wei Jinyi's eyes. For some reason, she felt that his eyes were a little fiery.
Wei Ruo subconsciously looked away.
Then Wei Ruo thought about the encounter with Chu Lan just now, and felt that it was time to talk to Wei Jinyi.
So Wei Ruo turned his attention back again: "Second brother, are you free now?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let's sit down and talk. Should we go to Songzhuyuan or your study?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Ruo'er is determined."
"Then let's go to Songzhuyuan."
Wei Ruo didn't waste any time and immediately walked to the backyard.
The two came to Songzhuyuan and entered the room. Xiumei closed the door and the others waited outside. Only Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi were left in the room.
"Sit down."
Wei Ruo invited Wei Jin to sit down at the mahogany round table. As soon as he sat down, Wei Ruo asked straight to the point: "What is the second brother planning to do next? Do you have any plans for competing for the throne?" "
I have no intention of competing for the throne." Wei Jin also replied.
"You don't plan to compete for the position of crown prince?" Wei Ruo repeated in surprise.
"Yeah." Wei Jinyi's answer was yes.
Wei Jinyi's answer was beyond Wei Ruo's expectation, but it felt reasonable because it was more in line with the Wei Jinyi she knew.
"Why?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jin did not answer, but stared straight at Wei Ruo.
Why? Because he knew she didn't like it.
Wei Ruo said again: "Or let me ask another question, why do you want to regain your identity as the Ninth Prince Chu Yi?" "
There are two reasons. The first is to rehabilitate and avenge the late grandfather, which is my mother's last wish. "Wei Jin also replied.
This reason is very sufficient. No matter what price Wei Jinyi pays for this purpose, it is worth it to him.
"What about the second one?"
"Some selfish motives."
Because I want to fulfill her wishes and give her an identity that allows her to do what she wants to do with peace of mind.
Princess Rui's status is noble enough. As long as he does not compete for the throne and is not a threat to others, then this status is a very good guarantee for her.
So he pretended to be sick and weak, which not only made everyone think that he had no possibility of competing for reserves, but also could really "die of illness" if necessary.
"What selfish motives?"
"I need this status to help a very important person." Wei Jin also replied.
"But if revenge can only be achieved by sitting on the throne, you will do it, right?" Wei Ruodao.
"Yes."
Revenge must be avenged. He has come this far just for the hundreds of lives in Duke Xu's mansion and the innocent souls of the tens of thousands of soldiers who followed Duke Xu.
"Do you have anyone to suspect?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Yes, but further verification is needed, and the other party's power in the government and the opposition is deeply entangled, and it will take some time to uproot it." Wei Jin also replied.
Listening to his answer, Wei Ruo felt that the general direction of his investigation was correct.
She couldn't say anything more on this matter, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
After a moment of silence, Wei Ruo solemnly said to Wei Jinyi: "I understand. From now on, you and I are in the same boat. I will do my best to help you. If you need anything from me, Just tell me if you want to cooperate."
"Ruo'er?"
"Don't be so surprised, you and I are the same. Sometimes it seems like you have a choice, but in fact there isn't much choice. Since you decided to avenge your grandfather's family, I had no choice from the beginning, and I had no choice from the moment I was taken back by the Wei family." "
Even if I don't become Princess Rui, with the behavior of people like Wei Qingwan and Wei Mingyong, sooner or later the Wei family will Being involved, we are destined to be involved in this storm." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo, who had a calm face, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and his heartstrings were plucked again.
Wei Ruo then added: "But you don't have to have too much hope in me. I may not be able to help you much if I help you. I can only promise that I will be a good Princess Rui and try my best not to give you anything." It's holding you back. Whether you can successfully avenge your grandfather's family mainly depends on you."
Although she knew who was behind the scenes, the focus of the original work was on the struggle in the back house, and how Chu Lan defeated Chu Heng. There is no very detailed description, so the little information she knows is basically useless.
After finishing speaking, Wei Ruo found that Wei Jin was staring at her, as if her eyes were so hot that they were about to melt her.
