Not?

I immediately frowned and looked at him in confusion: "Didn't you come for Jin Yao's business?"

"It's true for her business, but not for my marriage with her."

“How to say it?”

"Madam, it's impossible to marry Miss Jinyao."

My heart sank.

At this moment, a bitterness surged in my heart almost immediately. Listening to what he had just said, I remembered Yang Jinyao's eyes that were brighter than Xingzi when he talked about him, but Wu Yanqiu told me that he could not marry Yang Jinyao.

I asked, "Why?"

A wry smile appeared on his face and said, "Mrs. I just said that Miss Jinyao is not gentle at all."

“…”

"When it comes to calmness and restraint, Lan Xin and elegant, Miss Yang doesn't seem to have many such qualities."

“…”

"Yanqiu is not looking down on her, nor is he respecting people at all. But - I think the wife will understand that Miss Jinyao will definitely not be a competent lady, or even a royal decree like Mrs. Yang."

“…”

I didn't say anything, and I was speechless.

Wu Yanqiu's words are right. Although Yang Jinyao is smart and cute, she has almost no necessary qualities in the officialdom. She is impatient and erratic. If she is not married, she is still troubled by her parents, but once she is married, her worries are her husband's family. Wu Yanqiu is definitely not a person who can put too much energy into her backyard.

After all, what Wu Yanqiu needs is a gentle and gentle wife who can take care of everything for him and keep him free of worries. Yang Jinyao is definitely not the best choice.

Before, the reason why Wu Yanqiu did not refuse that marriage was that he had to consider the status of the Yang family and his future prospects in the officialdom. But once the emperor became interested in Yang Jinyao, he could no longer choose this girl.

I couldn't help but frown.

Although I don't like his utilitarian attitude very much, I can't deny that he is rational.

Being an official is different from other business. A good wife may not be able to help, but an inappropriate wife may lead to a disaster of extermination.

I sighed lightly and said to Wu Yanqiu: "Since that's the case, then you have rejected the marriage with Jin Yao. This matter is already a foregone conclusion. Why are you--"

Before I could finish speaking, Wu Yanqiu cut off my words, but lowered his voice and said softly: "Madam, can't you see that she is not even qualified for her wife, so how can she enter the palace and be the emperor's concubine and deal with so many empresses in the harem?"

My heart skipped a beat and I looked at him with a little astonishment.

"you mean--"

"If Miss Jinyao really enters the palace, she is afraid there is no way out."

“…!”

I see.

He did come for Yang Jinyao, but not for himself and her, but for his help, he hoped that even if Yang Jinyao did not marry him, he would not enter the palace to become the emperor's concubine.

Because, compared to being a high-ranking official, her personality is less suitable to survive in the harem.

At this moment, my brows frowned, because I knew that he was right.

This is also what I had been worried about before when I realized that Pei Yuanhao was interested in her and wanted to call her into the palace as a concubine. She was a spoiled lady from the official family. She had no scheming and no ability to plot people's hearts. She wanted to survive in a place where everyone only said three things and never left all her heart. She couldn't survive at all!

He seemed extremely worried. After a while, he said softly: "I saw the grave all the miserable ghosts, why bother to add another stick of incense?"

I couldn't help but feel a surge in my heart. This time, he really made me look at me with some admiration. I realized that this time he came to me was really taking some risks, because the emperor wanted to summon Yang Jinyao to the palace, and he pityed this girl. Even if he had no fate with her, he couldn't bear to see such a soul that would be beating freely in the smoke of open and secret struggles in the harem.

I looked at him for a while and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Wu would have such affection for Jin Yao."

"I dare not take affection," he said softly, "but I felt a little compassion."

"This is already very rare."

He looked up at me: "I just hope that my wife's prescription can really save her."

“…”

This time, I fell silent.

If his purpose was to be able to get along with Yang Jinyao, maybe things would be simpler, but his purpose had nothing to do with him. He just hoped that Yang Jinyao would not enter the palace. This was obviously going to fight Pei Yuanhao and asked me to prescribe a prescription, which was really embarrassing me.

Seeing that I was silent, and even a few folds appeared slightly between my eyebrows, he looked at me carefully: "Madam? Is it because I am embarrassed by my wife?"

I smiled bitterly: "I am very sorry, it is indeed."

"That--"

"But," I continued, "not necessarily, unimaginable."

When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He held the armrests on both sides of the chair with both hands, tightened his hands, and asked hurriedly: "What's the solution?"

I have never seen him calm and introverted. This is the first time I have seen him look so angry, but for some reason I feel a little sad. He likes Yang Jinyao. Although his description of his future wife is like me, he meets those bright eyes as bright as stars and meets the free and unrestrained soul, and even he is attracted by himself. But even so, he cannot let himself go, or rather, he refuses to let himself go.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Mr. Wu, let me ask again, are you really unwilling to marry Miss Jinyao?"

His expression froze.

The face, which was originally plain and clean, became a little paler at this moment. At this moment, the warmth brought by the hot tea was swept away by the cold wind passing through the hall. I saw his hands holding the armrests of the chair with force, and his knuckles were all white.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a long time, he slowly said: "It's true that Miss Jinyao came to my house yesterday to find me."

I was stunned: "She went to find you? Why?"

"I don't know, but I guess it's probably for that matter."

"Then, what did she say to you?"

"She said nothing."

"Why?"

"I called me sick and asked the concierge to close the door, but didn't let her in."

My heart suddenly sank and I looked at him in surprise: "Why?"

Wu Yanqiu lowered his head, but at that moment, I seemed to see a trace of imperceptible pain in his eyes: "There is no reason, but I know very well what I want and what I can't ask for."

“…”

"Yesterday, Miss Jinyao failed to enter my door, and it will be the same in the future."

“…”

"If my wife still asks, I have handled so many official duties and made so many decisions, have I ever made mistakes, have I ever regretted it, I still have to say that the saint still has a mistake, and if I have done it wrong, I will definitely regret it."

“…”

"But it is much better to regret one person than to regret a group of people in the future."

“…”

I looked at him without saying anything. Although there was not much expression on his face, my heart was really turned upside down at this moment, and there were huge waves surging. There was never a single person who made me look at him with admiration in just a short while. What he said and did, as he said, would be wrong and would definitely regret it, but I couldn't think of a word to refute him.

An indescribable pain surged into my heart.

This time, I was silent for a long time and finally sighed: "I understand."

“…”

"If all this is the only way, then I really hope that, as Lord Wu said, you are the only one who regrets it."

He looked at me and smiled faintly: "Hope, as I wish."

I also smiled, but even if I couldn't see my face, I could feel the bitterness in my smile. After a while, I calmed down the faint sadness in my heart and said to him: "The way I said is to ask for two people."

"Who?"

"One of them, of course, is the Queen."

He was suddenly shocked and looked up at me. I said calmly: "Two days ago, the Empress left the palace to visit me in Yang's mansion. I have already talked to her about you and Miss Jinyao, but I didn't know what Lord Wu was thinking at that time, but I just told her Miss Jinyao's thoughts. If Lord Wu hopes that this matter will turn around, he still has to find the Empress."

“…”

"After all, she is the closest person to the emperor. If some things can affect the emperor, the harm will be minimized."

He was silent for a while and nodded slightly: "I understand. Then, where is there another person?"

"You can go find the Empress. As for this person - Lord Wu came to ask for prescriptions today, I can't just talk. I'll go find this person."

When he heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly got up and bowed to me: "Thank you, Madam Gao Yi."

I smiled faintly: "Mr. Wu's move is also a noble person."

Although I said that, he felt guilty and a little painful. When he talked to me again, he was a little absent-minded. I also knew that without further ado, he must have hoped to pass the news to Chang Qing immediately and solve the problem.

So, in a short while, he left.
