The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1028: V low to make small
Chapter 1028: Be humble
Sun Wenyao was struggling with his inner thoughts and became even more silent.
It was not until he heard Lupin talking to Wei Zhong and asking Wei Zhong to report to the empress that Sun Wenyao came back to his senses and looked up at the magnificent double-eaved palace.
The waning purple light of the evening glow in the sky illuminates the intricately carved red lacquered partitions of the palace.
Sun Wenyao’s heart was gloomy.
He followed Lupin into the hall in an orderly manner. He lowered his eyes and dared not look around. He only stared at the mirror-clear ground, and naturally saw his own pale face. He thought of Bai Jinzhi…
If he had killed the eldest sister of that bright and flamboyant girl here today, I wonder how sad she would be and whether she would hate him for using her.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!” Sun Wen bowed from afar.
Bai Qingyan looked at Sun Wenyao from the moment he entered the room. She did not call him up: “I heard that you saved Princess Gaoyi in Hancheng…”
“I should get my share.” Sun Wenyao said.
“You have lost your previous pride. I remember when we first met at the Qin Mansion… you grabbed Xiao Si’s whip. If I had been a step later, you would have fought with Xiao Si.” Bai Qingyan took the red date tea that Wei Zhong had replaced for her, and took the sweet porcelain wide-mouthed teacup in her hand. She used the cup lid to stir the red dates in the cup from time to time, and said in a cold voice, “What is your purpose now, to be humble and humble?”
Sun Wenyao had never expected Bai Qingyan to ask this question. He adjusted his breathing and replied calmly, “Sun Wenyao dare not be disrespectful to His Majesty.”
Wei Zhong, who was standing beside Bai Qingyan, moved his ears, covered his lips with his hands, and whispered in Bai Qingyan’s ear: “It looks to me like the breathing method of the royal secret guards. The royal family of the Jin Dynasty used to place secret guards in the ministers’ houses.”
But the Bai family did not leave any room for the Jin emperor, because the Jin emperor was afraid of Bai Weiting, and because the Bai family’s guards were all retired from the Bai family’s army.
Bai Qingyan looked at Sun Wenyao who was kneeling on the ground obediently without any expression, and said, “Now that the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty has been sent away, do you really think… that you can shake the Great Zhou with your actions?”
Bai Qingyan was trying to trick Sun Wenyao, and Sun Wenyao’s palms suddenly tightened, and even his breathing became disordered.
From Sun Wenyao rescuing Xiaosi and using Xiaosi, to later Sun Wenyao meeting the second daughter of the Qin family, and then the rumors…using new methods to target the aunts of the Bai family and her mother, Bai Qingyan didn’t believe that there was no clue behind this.
Things like remnants of the previous dynasty are common in the early days of a new dynasty, but she is not afraid.
Seeing that Sun Wenyao didn’t say anything, she realized that her guess might be true…
“You are a royal secret guard, loyal to the Jin Dynasty. I respect you, but you shouldn’t take advantage of Princess Gaoyi’s sentimentality. Such behavior… is shameful.”
Sun Wenyao’s back collapsed. He felt more guilty towards Bai Jinzhi, but he could not do anything against his will.
“Did you teach the second young lady of the Qin family the method of using the new method of widows remarrying to attack the Bai family?” Bai Qingyan asked again.
Only then did Sun Wenyao realize that he had been under Bai Qingyan’s surveillance, but Bai Qingyan probably didn’t know the details.
But for some reason, Sun Wenyao felt relieved. He kowtowed and said to Bai Qing: “I am indeed a royal secret guard of the old dynasty. I was assigned to the loyal and brave mansion in my early years. I also taught the second lady of the Qin family to use this method to attack the Bai family. I admit everything. I didn’t die before my master. Sun Wenyao has always felt guilty. Please let the queen grant me death.”
He had no chance to get close to Bai Qingyan, and his identity was discovered. It was normal that he failed to succeed, so he was not considered to be betraying his master.
“It seems that you want to protect the remaining royal secret guards…” Bai Qingyan put the sweet porcelain teacup in his hand on the table.
Sun Wenyao tightened his grip: “There are no other Royal Secret Guards, only me!”
“So, the second young lady of the Qin family went out of the city last night on your instructions to bribe those remarried widows?” Bai Qingyan asked again.
Wei Zhong smiled. The eldest girl was trying to trick Sun Wenyao again. Yesterday, the second girl of the Qin family stayed in the Qin Mansion and never left the city.
Sun Wenyao’s palms tightened, wondering if the captain had bypassed him to see the second daughter of the Qin family. After all, it was the widow’s idea to attack the Bai family, and it was the captain’s idea. It was completely reasonable for the captain to go to the second daughter of the Qin family without telling him.
In order to protect their own team’s leadership, everyone agreed: “Yes…”
“Sun Wenyao, do you think the second daughter of the Qin family will protect the royal secret guards of the previous dynasty like you do? You have been in the Qin family for so long, you should know what kind of person the second daughter of the Qin family is.” Bai Qingyan smiled, “I will give you one last chance. Tell me where the other secret guards are, and I will spare your lives and send you to the prince of the previous dynasty after you have abolished your martial arts. This will be regarded as your loyalty to the Jin Dynasty.”
Sun Wenyao suddenly raised his head and looked towards Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty…you won’t kill us?”
“If you want to restore your country, it depends on whether the former crown prince is willing. The former crown prince no longer has that mentality. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain…” Bai Qingyan answered calmly, “Without martial arts, you are just ordinary people. Living a good life is more important than anything else.”
If someone else said this, Sun Wenyao would not believe it, but Bai Qingyan was born in the Bai family, so naturally Sun Wenyao would believe it a little, because the Bai family has always been trustworthy.
Bai Qingyan hesitated and laughed softly: “This Eunuch Wei was once a royal secret guard. There are still ways for the royal secret guards to communicate. If you don’t tell me… Eunuch Wei can still find the person, but at that time it won’t be as simple as wasting martial arts. Do you understand?”
Sun Wenyao kowtowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “Your Majesty… can you allow me to meet them and persuade them to surrender?”
“I don’t want to waste my energy on this matter.” Bai Qingyan said as he looked at Wei Zhong, “Eunuch Wei, you go and do it! Take Sun Wenyao away.”
Bai Qingyan already knew everything he needed to know, so there was no need for him to waste any more time.
“Your Majesty!” Sun Wenyao kowtowed hurriedly, “I beg Your Majesty to let me see them, considering that we have been taught to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty royal family since childhood and have no choice. Otherwise… they will definitely fight to the death. We are all secret guards… The thing we fear least is death, but I don’t want… any more people to die!”
Sun Wenyao is considered an outlier among the secret guards. Secret guards are not supposed to have any other emotions except loyalty, and they will even kill their own comrades when necessary!
But during those days in the Anping army, seeing the feelings between the soldiers and their comrades, Sun Wenyao was quietly changed. Unconsciously, he had become more like a soldier rather than a secret guard, so he cherished the friendship of his comrades very much.
“He doesn’t look like a royal secret guard…” Bai Qingyan said this to Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong bowed towards Bai Qingyan and said with a smile, “Your Majesty is right.”
The third update is here. I’d better finish it before sleeping more peacefully. I’ll continue to ask for monthly votes…
