Chapter 313 What do you want?
The sounds of drinking and cheering filled his ears, but Xu Yuan felt that he was far away from the bustle of this world.
After watching Zhang Yue stumble away and go drink again, Xu Yuan looked for Bei Yao in the crowd.
Bei Yao has an extraordinary temperament and is very easy to recognize in his white gown.
He is the head coach, the leader, and the third prince.
No matter where you are, every move you make is the most dazzling presence.
Xu Yuan thought about Zhang Yue's words and what he wanted to say. Finally, he made up his mind and walked towards Beiyao.
Seeing Xu Yuan coming, Bei Yao just raised his eyes and asked, "Since you are ready to leave, there is no need to say goodbye. It will only add to the sadness."
In the past few days, Bei Yao has been wondering when Xu Yuan will leave.
But he didn't leave even after making a wish.
This is not a good sign.
The more hesitant you are about making a wish, the greater the possibility of giving up on it.
In Beiyao's heart, a short pain is worse than a long one.
Instead of torturing him by procrastinating like this, it is better to give him a quick death.
"I didn't plan to leave. I said I would go back to the capital with you."
Bei Yao said without even looking up: "I have many advisers, and you are not a big deal."
"I never thought I had the talent to win the favor of the Third Prince. I came here to ask you, can you ask me again what I said that day?"
"What?" Bei Yao frowned slightly, not quite understanding why Xu Yuan mentioned this.
"The question you asked me the day I left the capital."
Bei Yao's eyes moved slightly.
He remembered.
On the day Xu Yuan left the capital, he asked Xu Yuan whether she had ever been pleased with him and whether she had ever been moved for a moment.
But Xuyuan did not answer.
After that, he never dared to ask again.
Even if he knew the answer, the ending might not be what he imagined.
Seeing that Beiyao had not spoken, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and continued, "My family background is not compatible with yours, and I don't have the courage to be accused by the world. I am jealous and cannot tolerate anyone else around you. If you don't mind, I would like to try."
After making the wish, everything suddenly became quiet.
The smell of wine wafted in the evening breeze, and the soldiers' cheers were resounding.
Beiyao's smile faded slightly, and after a while, he curled his lips and asked, "Xuyuan, have you drunk?"
"I know what I'm saying." Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "It was indeed my fault before. I shouldn't have distanced myself from you in a way that I thought was good for you. But I also hope that you can understand that being with me is definitely not a good thing for your future. If you are willing, then I have nothing to worry about."
At worst, I can return to Shuozhou from the capital.
At worst, I’ll have nothing.
It is worth it to be able to overturn the verdict for the Xu family in this life.
Xu Yuan didn’t say the last sentence. This was the way out she left for herself.
"I am already a prince, what am I afraid of?"
Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Xu Yuan, this is what you said yourself. If you regret it, you know my character. Even if you run away to the ends of the earth, I will catch you back and imprison you by my side."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes, met Bei Yao's half-joking eyes, and said, "You won't."
Not only that, Beiyao will also give her a ten-mile red dowry on her wedding day, so that she will have a happy and smooth life in her husband's family.
Previously, the Queen used marriage to control Bei Yao.
Even though Bei Yao was heartbroken, he did not make things difficult for the Queen. Instead, he knelt in the snow all night and gave the Queen a reason to cancel the engagement.
Bei Yao has always been like this. When it comes to the people he loves, he would not bear to hurt them even a little bit, even if they are covered in bruises.
He says the harshest words, but does the best things.
"I won't leave you unless you leave me first. If you think that you and I are only suitable to be allies and I am blocking your future, you can just tell me and I will leave."
As soon as he finished making the wish, he was tapped on the forehead.
She couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"When did I think you were a burden? In other words, how did you know that I had such great talent and ambition?" Bei Yao asked back.
"People are going to change."
"That's because they are too greedy. They always want what they don't have. Once they have one thing, they want another."
Beiyao's tone was faint.
He has seen too many people like this.
As the saying goes, greed will always hurt others and yourself.
"What about you? What do you want?"
"I wanted my father and mother's attention before, but now I only want your attention."
Bei Yao finished speaking, raised his eyebrows slightly, paused and said: "Even if there is none, it doesn't matter."
"Don't you want the throne at all?"
"What's so good about being an emperor? You will be advised against doing anything. You can't do this or that. It seems that you have supreme power, but in fact you have lost yourself."
Bei Yao looked up at the sky and murmured, "What's even more tragic is that not only did I get trapped, I also got trapped my child."
"But..." Xu Yuan was about to say something, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.
"What?" Bei Yao turned around and looked at Xu Yuan. Seeing her expression, he asked, "Do you think I'm lying, or do you think I'll inherit this kingdom sooner or later?"
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Bei Yuan is not a good king."
Although it is said that the crown prince has died of illness, the third prince is now the heir to the throne.
But Xu Yuan knew in his heart that the prince should be fine and was just imprisoned temporarily. The reason why he died of illness was to stabilize the situation of internal and external troubles.
But the prince no longer has the possibility of ascending the throne.
The emperor will not punish the prince, nor can he tolerate him.
The queen has two legitimate sons, a crown prince and a third prince.
The Third Prince had won the Battle of Feishui, so he would naturally be the Crown Prince upon returning to the capital.
Xu Yuan couldn't think of anyone more suitable to be the crown prince than Bei Yao.
"If I am judged by the standards of saints, I am not a good king either. Naturally, it is not my turn to take the throne."
Xuyuan didn't say anything.
Bei Yao continued, "These days, I have been wondering whether the late emperor was wrong to go to war. In the eyes of the common people, wars cause displacement and misery, which is a disaster. But in the eyes of the emperor, a general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Even if Tianqi does not take the initiative to fight, foreign countries will not miss the opportunity to annex Tianqi."
"The late emperor was right. It was also right that the Xu family opposed the expedition for the sake of the people. It was just that one family stood on the perspective of the emperor and the other stood on the perspective of the people. If I were the late emperor, I would also choose to go to war. Without the late emperor's march north and the defeat of Geshu, how could Tianqi have enjoyed the good weather and harvests for the past twenty years?"
"I am an emotional person. I am not suitable to be an emperor. Compared with supreme power, I want to live in peace and quiet."
After hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan's heart was completely calmed down.
She asked, "When does the Third Prince plan to return to the capital?"
"The outcome of the Battle of Feishui has not yet been decided..."
"You may use these words to deceive others, but can you deceive me?" Xu Yuan interrupted Bei Yao.
"After returning to the capital, I haven't felt so comfortable."
Beiyao didn't want to go back.
I didn't want to do it at first, and now that I have expressed my feelings to Xu Yuan, I don't want to do it even more.
"But only if we deal with the things in the capital as soon as possible can we be together with peace of mind, right?" Xu Yuan asked back.
When Bei Yao heard the word "together", his heart suddenly moved.
After getting married, it is natural to be together.
No one can take away your wish.
Thinking of the letters that Young Master Qin had sent him day by day, he immediately said, "You go back and rest first. I will go to the military camp to make arrangements. We will set off for Beijing early tomorrow morning."
