Chapter 9 – Sacrifice
As Yunyun Yi heard Lu Yayin’s words, he could not help but look more crestfallen. He did not interrupt the words being said, and just listened dumbly. His mother was a general of the town. She had naturally mentioned Su Wen, a young and promising colleague, but he didn’t take it seriously at that time. Now that he saw her, he couldn’t help associating his mother’s praise with her.
After a few days of quiet life, Her Majesty never saw Her Royal Highness, who had already returned to Beijing. In the end, she simply ignored her and began to toss herself.
On Tianyu mainland in 3598, Huang Yuguo and Emperor Xuan had fully grasped the powers of the North and the Central. The North and South became stable in only one year.
Although Fengtian Kingdom still existed, there was no conflict between the two countries. In recent years, no war has taken place between the two countries. Therefore, in the world of Phoenix, the world was at peace, and the people lived and worked without any problems. Even if the Queen was still calm, it was impossible to stop the fight for clans and fight for power, but as long as it does not create chaos, Her Majesty wouldwill open an eye and close the other one.
After all, as a Queen, she had a lot to do, and was very busy. However, if Her Majesty wanted to be a matchmaker, give a gift, or something, she would not think about her gang of courtiers and the person about to be married.
Now the general of the town, Yun Yuyang, was distressed by this matter. The Queen had summoned her. Although she didn’t say that it would be about marriage, the meaning in her words was already obvious. “Wife, what’s wrong?” Yun Yuyang’s Liu Yan saw that she kept frowning, sighing constantly, and asked aloud, wondering what was troubling her so much.
“Well …” Yun Yuyang let out a deep sigh, and answered in a rather distressed tone, “The queen intends to connect our general’s house and Xianwang’s house through marriage.”
“What?” Liu Yan exclaimed in shock. Although the king was a Wang Ye, she had no power in the court, and she did not do anything. Even though he had heard that she wasn’t that bad, she still stayed in the greenhouse all day and was barely ever seen. What kind of future would be there for such a person?
Ordinary people might still want to marry her son and go to Xianwang Mansion, but his two sons, he would never let them marry such a person, they had better choices, especially for Yier.
Yier was so outstanding, a budding young talent. He couldn’t bear to ruin Yier’s future. Liu Yan suppressed the rising panic in his heart, and asked, “Wife, who has the Queen asked for?”
Yun Yuyang shook her head and replied in a dull manner, “The Queen did not specify who he was, but told me to bring in our sons. The palace will host a banquet, and the Queen will let the King choose herself. There are high chances that she would pick Yier. “
Among several sons, Yun Yi was the best. According to what they had heard about the leisure king’s temperament, who else would he choose?
There was a noise at the door. Two people looked up and saw Yun Yi standing there with a pale face, looking a little lost.
Liu Yan’s heart shook, he pursed his lips and quickly walked over to help him. Tears could not help but escape from the corner of his eye.
“Yi’er … Yi’er … don’t you scare Dad …”
Yun Yi’s face was still pale as he looked at Liu Yan and asked, “Daddy … this isn’t true, right?”
He doesn’t want to marry the King, wanted to marry someone he loved. And also … thinking of the person in his heart, Yun Yi’s heart became even more uncomfortable. How did it turn out like this? Why would the queen suddenly want the king to marry?
Liu Yan looked at Yun Yuyang with tears, begged profusely, “Wife, you think of a way, Yier can’t marry the Leisure King.” Yun Yunyang looked at her best son in front of her, but also felt bitterness spread in her heart. She knew how difficult it was for the queen to change her mind.
Seeing that Yun Yuyang was silent, Liu Yan could not help but cry out, “How can the Queen do this? That is her life-saving benefactor, why does our Yier have to go to repay her graciousness?” But it just happened to save the life of the queen who was still a maiden.
Yun Yuyang hurriedly yelled, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Can someone ever disobey her Majesty?
Liu Yan was scolded by her and did not dare to talk any more. He just cried while holding Yun Yi.
Yunyun Yu looked at the two and sighed, “This matter is for me to think about.” Yun Yuyang said. Liu Yan wiped his tears, and Yun Yi seemed to see some hope, his eyes were fixed on her. Yun Yuyang frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Liu Yan, “You have people bring Si Yu over.”
She didn’t think it’s okay to violate the queen’s orders. Now, she could only hope that it wasn’t Yier who would be favored by the king. If they were going to sacrifice a son, Yun Siyu was the most suitable candidate.
Coincidentally, Yun Siyu was almost eighteen years old, and it was time to marry him off. Although she didn’t pay much attention to this son, she also knew that this son was the most outstanding of the four sons, although he looked cute.But he possessed less charm that a man should have, and his temper was also quite wild, often acting like a bitch. It wasn’t too bad for him to marry a leisure king.
Yun Yi and Yun Qian are her treasured ones. She doesn’t want them to marry the King of Leisure. The youngest Yunxi, although weaker in nature, had a slightly weaker posture, but compared to the wild child Yun Siyu, was even more provocative. She wanted him to marry a better person in the future. Besides that, she had some feelings for Yunxi’s father, Ye Qiu. If Yunxi were to marry a leisure king, Ye Qiu would be sad.
So the last unlucky one can only be Yun Siyu without the touch of his father.
Yun Siyu’s name was taken by Yun Siyu’s father Ning Yan, and the meaning was self-evident. At first, Ning Yan was also a beauty. Although he was a man of the rivers and lakes, he had no rough temperament. He was docile and quite talented. He was loved by Yun Yuyang. She even passed Liu Yan, but later, Yun Yuyang was accidentally poisoned in the palace, and in order to save him, Ning Yan took the poison from her body.
Although he finally saved her life, he ruined his appearance. In order to not let Yun Yuyang feel guilty, he refused to tell Yun Yuyang that it was he who saved her, and only said that he had eaten poisonous herbs by mistake that he would ruin his appearance. The stubborn man thought that true love would not be changed because of the beauty and ugliness of the looks, but the truth is never that sweet. The reality of General Palace is that for a man with an ugly appearance, no matter how much he loved, it will all disappear with time. Later, it was difficult for Ning Yan to see Yun Yuyang again. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had been pregnant with Yun Siyu before then, I am afraid that he would not be able to leave a trace of blood in this world until his death.
The woman he loved with all his heart, left him nothing but endless sadness. She now even wanted to sacrifice his only son, just to keep his other son. Such a harsh move, if Ning Yan got to know, it would be immensely heartbreaking! He might even regret his actions of the past.
