Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Chapter 341 Determination

"What? Old man, you're lying on the bed and still not behaving yourself."

Yan Wan frowned. She had been hiding for so many years, but unexpectedly, Yong Yan still got to know some clues.

This child is very smart and will figure out the reason quickly. By then, given his personality, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate Jinzhong...

She had to think of a good way to save him.

"It's time to put an end to him. I've been protecting him for so many years, and now I'm old. If I don't take action now, I'm afraid I won't be able to see that day."

Hailan said calmly, with a fierce light in her eyes.

When facing the emperor, the two were in the same boat.

Although there were many disagreements in the middle, they all thought of the same thing when facing the emperor.

Another five years passed, and Hai Lan had aged a lot. Now Ruyi had been gone for sixteen years, and Hai Lan was already over sixty years old.

It was time to end it all and go down to reunite with her Yongqi and sister.

Yanwan thought quietly and knew that it was time to put an end to everything.

"I understand. Go back and wait for news. When the time comes, I will naturally inform you. I will deal with Yongyan. You just need to be prepared."

Hailan's life became an ordinary trivial matter in Yanwan's mouth.

The two of them are old and have long become indifferent to life and death.

Besides, wasn't Hailan already prepared to give up her life?

"It's... you. Although you and I are directly blocking many things, I still can't help but remind you that you have worked hard to reach your current position. Don't let all these years of hard work go to waste because of a eunuch..."

After Hailan came back, she knew that something was wrong between Yanwan and Jinzhong.

The reason why she didn't expose it was that she was happy to see the emperor suffer such a great humiliation.

"As a man, it's fine to use it for entertainment, but at the critical moment, you should sacrifice the car to save the driver and ensure that your skirt doesn't get dirty."

Hailan glanced at Yanwan. Didn’t she do very well in her previous life?

She couldn't believe she could be so confused.

My sister ruined herself in this palace because of a man. She doesn't want to see another stupid woman in the palace.

"I know my own affairs, and there's no need for you to interfere. The emperor's birthday is coming soon, so remember to give him a grand birthday gift..."

Yan Wan snorted coldly and changed the subject.

She said she would never abandon him at any time.

The two of them have supported each other like husband and wife for so many years. Jin's loyalty to her is no longer the same as in the first life. They are husband and wife and should be one.

Even if Yongyan couldn't tolerate him, she would not allow Yongyan to do anything to him.

If it weren't for Jinzhong, how could she have seized the country so easily, and how could Yongyan have sat firmly on the throne?

When Hai Lan heard Yan Wan's words, she actually laughed out loud.

"I never thought that the fearless Wei Yanwan would now have a weak spot. Okay, then I'll see how you can get past Yongyan..."

After Hailan finished speaking, she left Qinghuatai with a gloomy face.

They are all crazy, all crazy for men.

It was not until Hai Lan left that Yan Wan collapsed in her chair.

She had never thought about how to deal with this matter, and she had never dared to think about how to choose between her son and her beloved.

"Master, what's wrong? Why do you look unhappy?"

After Hailan left, Jinzhong entered the hall. He placed a candlestick in front of Yanwan, and the candlelight illuminated her somewhat heavy face.

"Jinzhong, the old emperor saw you today. I'm afraid he told Yongyan something. Concubine Yu said he looked unhappy when he left..."

Hearing this, Jinzhong didn't react at all. He just picked up one of her coats and put it on her shoulders.

He squatted in front of her as usual and looked up at her, his deep eyes reflecting her appearance.

"I have long expected this day to come. Now I have seen with my own eyes that you have become the Queen and the Empress Dowager. I am content to be able to stay by your side for so long..."

He held Yan Wan's somewhat cold hand and carefully warmed it with the warmth of his palm.

But Yanwan still couldn't feel any warmth.

"Don't say those things. I'll take care of Yongyan. Before that, don't act rashly. Got it?"

Guessing his intention, Yan Wan directly covered his mouth.

Seeing Yanwan's gloomy face, Jinzhong smiled instead.

"Okay, I obey your order. It's getting late, I'll wait for you to rest..."

Yanwan slept quite uneasily, and Jinzhong stayed beside her for a long time, and only left the bedroom after she fell asleep.

However, as soon as he left the bedroom, Jinzhong's face fell.

He turned around and looked towards the bed where she was sleeping peacefully, feeling reluctant to leave.

Yanwan, I won't make things difficult for you.

In this life, she gave him many things he had never expected, and now he could not stop her from achieving wealth and glory.

Sure enough, the next day, Yongyan came to Qinghuatai.

"You are busy with government affairs, why bother to come to me now?"

The mother and son were sitting at the same table, each with their own ulterior motives.

Yongyan glanced inadvertently at Jinzhong who was serving Yanwan, and replied absentmindedly.

"That's fine. No matter how busy I am, I still have time to eat with you. But mother, Aunts Chunchan and Lancui have already left the palace to retire. I see that Jinzhong is getting old too, so why not let me let him retire outside the capital as well? And you can arrange for a few more capable people to be around him, how about that?"

Yongyan spoke tentatively.

He knew that his mother would not let him kill Jinzhong, so he could only settle for the next best thing and release him from the palace.

"Maybe a few years later. Jinzhong is still quite capable now. I don't have many old people around me anymore. If they were all replaced at once, I wouldn't be used to them."

Of course, Yan Wan refused outright. She looked up at Yong Yan's eyes with a calm expression.

"I am just talking. If you don't agree, then forget it. I have done my job. I still have important matters to attend to in the Qinzheng Palace. I will take my leave..."

"Go ahead, business is more important."

Yongyan walked to the door, saw the drizzle at the door, turned his head and said.

"Jinzhong, can you hold an umbrella for me?"

Yanwan was about to speak up to stop him, but she didn't expect Jinzhong to take action.

"Yes, I just happened to be going to pick some lotus seeds to make soup for the Empress Dowager. You guys take good care of her. I'll be back soon."

The two walked in front, and Jinzhong held an umbrella for Yongyan at the back.

"Jinzhong, how long have you been by the Emperor's side?"

"To answer your Majesty, it has been more than forty years."

When Yongyan was young, Jinzhong held an umbrella for him many times. Now that the two are walking together again, their moods are very different.

Yongyan had become the ruler of a country, no longer the young and easily fooled child. He smelled a little of Yan Wan's scent on Jinzhong, and his heart became even more depressed.

Jinzhong had been with the emperor for more than forty years, so why did he let Jinzhong live with his mother?

Yongyan didn't want to think about it, let alone think about it in detail.

From Yongyan's perspective, the emperor has always treated him well and has always been like a good father.

His mother took good care of him, meticulously.

He always believed that his parents and he had a happy relationship.

But with the appearance of Jinzhong, all of this was shattered. Yongyan was unwilling to accept the truth that seemed a little dirty to him, and even more unwilling to expose the hypocritical appearance.

He didn't want to believe that his happy family was fake.

Thinking of this, Yongyan paused.

He turned around and said to the people following him, "I want to stroll around the garden. Please wait for me outside."

After saying this, he walked into the garden with Jinzhong.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were many chrysanthemums planted in the garden. After being hit by the rain, many petals fell on the bluestone floor, looking a little messy.

Yongyan remained silent, walked to a pavilion, sat down and quietly watched the rain.

Jinzhong closed his umbrella and stood behind him, watching. Half his shoulder was wet, but his back remained straight.

At this moment, he didn't want to pretend anymore.
