To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 531 Involuntary

  Unless Jiangshan is not surnamed Wei—this is not easy for Luo Sheng to say.

  In her opinion, when she said this, it meant that the two of them had officially stood on opposite sides, and there was no room for turning back.

   Rather than saying that she was stating the conditions for returning to Beijing, it is better to say that she made the man opposite her completely give up.

  When he gave up, she gave up.

   She looked at him, wondering how he would react to that.

   Wei Han's expression didn't change much, he looked at her seriously and said: "If the person sitting in that seat can bring peace to the country and the people, it doesn't matter what Jiang Shan's last name is."

   At least, it doesn't matter to him.

  Luo Sheng's eyes brightened: "Your Majesty's words are serious?"

   Wei Han smiled: "I will never lie to you."

  Luo Sheng's cheeks were a little hot, and he was a little flustered, but there was uncontrollable joy in his heart.

  She lowered her eyes, clenched her teacup tightly, and forgot to speak for a moment.

   What then arose was confusion: Even if Emperor Yong'an was cruel and innocent, he could still be replaced by other members of the clan to inherit the country. After all, King Kaiyang is a member of the Wei family, doesn't he care about the clan at all?

  Even speaking, Emperor Yong'an is very good to the younger brother Kaiyang King...

  She doesn't think King Kaiyang is the kind of person who doesn't care about anything for the sake of the one he likes.

  She doesn't appreciate people like that either.

  Looking at the person in front of him, more doubts came to mind: when King Kaiyang found out that she had shot and killed King Pingnan, she was as indifferent as a passerby, without any brotherly affection.

  She didn't hear that the two had turned against each other.

   "Why does Miss Luo keep looking at me and say nothing?" Wei Han asked.

  Luo Sheng withdrew his thoughts and looked at the man with clean eyes.

  He looks simple and pure, but he just keeps her guessing.

   "My lord really doesn't care what Jiang Shan's surname is?"

   "I don't care." Wei Han replied more easily, and then asked, "My father...does he intend to proclaim himself emperor?"

   "No." Luo Sheng shook his head in denial, hesitated and said, "My brother has this plan."

   Wei Han was taken aback, and said honestly, "There seems to be no difference."

   Isn’t everyone surnamed Luo?

  The words have come to this point, Luo Sheng didn't intend to hide any more, he fixedly looked at him and said: "There is a difference, my brother's surname is not Luo."

   Isn't the surname Luo?

   Wei Han's heart moved, and he asked, "Is Luo Chen the orphan of Zhennan King?"

  This time, Luo Sheng was stunned: "How does the prince know?"

   Wei Han smiled: "I guess."

  When Miss Luo said that Luo Chen's surname was not "Luo", those doubts in the past were explained.

  For example, the encounter between him and Miss Luo in the old house of Zhennan Palace, such as Miss Luo's hostility towards Pingnan Palace...

   "My father was the one who besieged Zhennan Wang's mansion more than ten years ago, so he naturally has the opportunity to save Zhennan Wang's orphan."

  Luo Sheng bent his lips: "My lord is so smart."

   "But I still want to listen to Miss Luo to be more careful."

"Back then..." Luo Sheng said eloquently, and finally mentioned the imperial edict, "The ancestors of the Wei family and the Qi family were fateful friends. The ministers originally recommended Zhennan King as the founding king of the country, but Zhennan King believed that he was incapable of governing the country, so he gave way to Taizu... The prince should have heard of this past, right?"

   Wei Han nodded slightly: "Well, there are records in history."

  The relationship between the Wei family and the Qi family was once passed on as a good story, but in the newly revised annals, the story about this time was cut down into a single sentence.

"This well-known past event is actually not the whole story. When Zhennan King gave up the throne, Taizu was moved and wrote a secret edict to give to his brother-in-law. The secret edict stated that if the descendants of the Wei family who inherit the throne in the future are tyrannical, or do not The descendants of the direct line will continue the incense, so they will return the country to the Qi family..."

  Wei Han sighed softly: "Is this the reason why Zhennan Palace suffered disaster more than ten years ago?"

Luo Sheng smiled bitterly: "Yes, the secret edict to return the country to the Qi family has become a reminder for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Fourteen years ago, the Zhennan King had a son, but the sons of Emperor Yong'an died one after another, leaving nothing under his knees. It's been a long time..."

  Sometimes I think about it, maybe fate has already opened a big net, waiting for everyone.

   "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and my father was forced to come to this point by the situation. I think it is more appropriate for the Qi family to sit in this country. What does the prince think?"

  If the Wei family continues to sit in this country, even if King Kaiyang promised to take care of the Luo family and the Zhennan Palace, who can guarantee the future?

  Rather than entrusting fate to others, it is better for the younger brother to sit in the country.

  Do you care about power? Not really. But she didn't want the incident of Zhennan Wangfu's extermination to happen again.

   Wei Han listened quietly, and could feel the heavy heart of the girl opposite.

  She seemed to empathize with what happened to the Zhennan Palace.

   Is it because of the deep sibling relationship with Luo Chen, or because of something else—

   Wei Han said: "I said, as long as the people can have peace, I don't care what Jiangshan's surname is."

   Speaking of this, he paused, stared into Luo Sheng's eyes and said: "But I care about Miss Luo's thoughts. If you want the Qi family to take over the country, then I will help Zhennan Wangfu."

  Since it doesn't matter what Jiangshan's surname is, of course he is happy to see the girl he likes can get what he wants.

  Getting Wei Han's statement, Luo Sheng fell into a long silence.

  The tea placed in front of the two of them was completely cold.

  Luo Sheng picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, putting the cold tea to calm her down.

   "This is unfair to the prince. Luo Chen is my father's adopted son. If there is a day when he sits in that seat, how will the prince deal with it?"

   Wei Han silently looked at Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"

   Wei Han pursed his thin lips slightly, with some doubts: "Could it be that Luo Chen will do something to his brother-in-law when he becomes the emperor?"

  Luo Sheng was stunned: "What?"

   Wei Han looked at the stunned girl, and laughed lowly: "I don't think Luo Chen is such a fickle child, he still cares about your sister."

   "It's true that he cares about my sister, but—" Luo Sheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

  But what does it have to do with the foodie in front of me who is only thinking about eating saozi noodles?

  When he thought of him calling himself "brother-in-law", Luo Sheng's face became hot.

  She is obviously not a shy person—

   "But what?" Wei Han answered.

  Luo Sheng suppressed his disturbed heart, and said lightly: "Is the prince thinking too far?"

   "I didn't think too far. Miss Luo just said that she likes me."

   "I just said no hate."

   "If you don't hate it, you just like it." He looked at her fixedly, "Unless Miss Luo tells me now that she hates me."

  Luo Sheng was watched tenderly by those clear eyes, the three words twirled on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't utter them.

  She could say this against her will, but she couldn't bear to see him sad.

  It turns out that when I like someone, I really can't help myself.

   Wei Han saw the struggle and hesitation in her eyes, thought for a while and asked: "Miss Luo, do you not like the Wei family?"

   This time, Luo Sheng answered quickly: "Yes."

  She doesn't like the Wei family, but she likes him.

  Because of this, thinking of his surname Wei helping the Qi family win the country, I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart.

  The writing at the end is a bit slow, so let’s just change it and try to write it more satisfactorily.
