Chapter 470 Sit down and talk
"The Ninth Brother is not feeling well and should take a good rest in the mansion. Why are you going out now?" Chu Lan asked.
"I'm here to pick up my diners." Wei Jin also said, weak and weak, like a gossamer. Eyes raised slightly, looking at Wei Ruo.
Looking at each other, Wei Ruo felt grateful.
She is most afraid of facing Chu Lan, and is worried about how to get out.
When he came, she felt a lot more at ease.
Chu Lan took the expressions of the two into his eyes, and his eyes sank slightly: "I didn't know that the ninth brother attached so much importance to his disciples."
"Xu Qing's medical skills are excellent, and he has saved my life." Wei Jin also said.
Hearing this, Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo again: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to have the grace of saving our lives at the same time as our brothers."
Wei Ruodao: "The grass people are terrified, it's just a coincidence, and the grass people don't know that they are so honored to be able to save the two princes at the same time."
Chu Lan asked: "We both have the grace of saving lives, but I don't know what is the difference between me and the ninth brother, so that Mr. Xu treats me so differently."
Wei Ruo didn't know how to answer this question.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but she heard a hint of jealousy from Chu Lan's words.
Chu Lan, he is Chu Lan, the hero Chu Lan in the original book where countless women in his backyard are jealous of him every day!
Actually became jealous of her, a woman he didn't even look at in the original book?
It must be an illusion! She disguised herself as a man, no matter how much Chu Lan changed, she would not become a man with a penchant for broken sleeves.
Wei Jin also said to Chu Lan: "Brother Seventh Emperor, it's getting late, and Xu Qing is tired from traveling all day today. I'm going to take him back home to rest."
Chu Lan didn't agree immediately, but looked at Wei Ruo with a sullen face.
Wei Jin also didn't wait for Chu Lan's reply, and directly ordered his subordinates to take Wei Ruo away.
Chu Lan can't stop him even if he doesn't want to, unless he wants to be read by Wei Jinyi.
When passing by Chu Lan, Wei Ruo lowered his head and did not look at him, but Chu Lan's gaze was always on her.
Wei Ruo followed Wei Jinyi's footsteps and entered Prince Rui's Mansion.
Wei Ruo didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the gate of the mansion was closed.
Seeing Wei Ruo's appearance, Wei Jin also had a slightly condensed expression: "Ruo'er seems a little afraid of King Jing?"
"A little bit." Wei Ruo admitted.
"If this happens again next time, if I'm not by your side, someone will come and 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 hot.
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 gaze back again: "Second brother, are you free now?"
"have."
"Okay, let's sit down and talk, should we go to Songzhu Garden or your study?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Ruo Er Ding."
"Then let's go to Songzhuyuan."
Wei Ruo didn't talk nonsense, and immediately walked to the backyard.
"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 going to do next? Do you have any plans for the reserve?"
"I have no intention of fighting for the reserve." Wei Jin also replied.
"You don't intend to compete for the crown prince?" Wei Ruo repeated in surprise.
"Yes." Wei Jinyi's answer is yes.
Wei Jinyi's answer like this was beyond Wei Ruo's expectation, but she felt it was reasonable, because it was more suitable for the Wei Jinyi she knew.
"Why?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jin didn't answer either, but stared straight at Wei Ruo.
Why? Because he knows she doesn't like it.
Wei Ruo said again: "Or let me put it another way, why did you restore your identity as Ninth Prince Chu Yi?"
"There are two reasons. One is to avenge the death of my late grandfather, which is my mother's last wish." Wei Jin also replied.
This reason is very sufficient, and it is worthwhile for Wei Jinyi to pay any price for this purpose.
"What about the second one?"
"Somewhat selfish."
Because I want to satisfy 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 doesn't fight for the crown, as long as he doesn't threaten other people, then this status is a very good guarantee for her.
So he pretended to be sick, so that everyone could think that he had no chance of competing for reserves, and if necessary, he could really "die of illness".
"What selfishness?"
"I need this identity to help a very important person." Wei Jin also replied.
"But if you can get revenge only by sitting on the throne, you will do it too, right?" Wei Ruo said.
"yes."
Vengeance must be avenged. He has come to this point because of hundreds of lives in Xu Guogong's mansion and the ghosts of tens of thousands of soldiers who followed Xu Guogong back then.
"Do you have any doubts?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Yes, but further investigation is needed, and the opponent's power above the government and the opposition is deeply rooted, 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 can't say more about this matter, otherwise the explanation will not be clear.
After a moment of silence, Wei Ruo solemnly said to Wei Jinyi: "I know, from now on I am on the same boat as you, and I will do my best to help you. What do you need from me? If you cooperate, just tell me."
"Ruo'er?"
"Don't be so surprised, you and I are the same. Sometimes it seems that you have a choice, but you don't have much choice. You have no choice since you decided to avenge your grandfather's family, and I have no choice since I was killed by the Wei family. There is no choice at the moment when I take it back.”
"Even if I don't become Princess Rui, according to the behavior of Wei Qingwan and Wei Mingyong, the Wei family will be involved sooner or later, and we are destined to be involved in this turmoil." Wei Ruo said.
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo with 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 for me, I may not be able to help you much if I say help you, I can only guarantee that I will do a good job as Princess Rui, and try not to give you It's a hindrance. Whether you can successfully avenge your grandfather's family depends mainly on yourself."
Although she knows who is behind the scenes, the focus of the original book is on the struggle in the back house. There is no detailed description of how Chu Lan defeated Chu Heng, so the little information she knows is basically useless.
After finishing speaking, Wei Ruo found that Wei Jin was also staring at him, that gaze seemed to have an extremely high temperature that would melt her.
