“Don’t worry, Duke Zhenguo.”
The Black Flag Army brought a chair to Beichen Yuan, who sat down on the spot and said casually, “The people under my command are all experts who have killed countless enemy soldiers on the battlefield. They are most sensible when it comes to drawing swords. As long as you and your sons don’t delay our work, they will naturally not really hurt anyone.”
What he meant was, if you dare to stop him today, don’t blame his people for taking action.
Wen Quansheng knew that Beichen Yuan had always acted in a domineering manner.
But I didn’t expect that he would even come to his Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion!
Wen Quansheng’s face was full of frost. “Wen Si is my daughter. She asked Your Majesty to become a nun on impulse without my consent. Now I want her to ask Your Majesty to withdraw the order and tell Your Majesty that she will not go. So there is no need for the Regent to escort her to Shuiyue Temple.”
Beichen Yuan looked at Wen Si who had stopped walking and asked her calmly, “Is this what you meant?”
“no.”
Wen Si denied it without hesitation, “I volunteered to pray for the country and become a nun, and I will never regret it.”
“Wen Si!”
Wen Quansheng shouted, “Do you really want to sever your ties with the Wen family?”
Facing Wen Quansheng’s anger, Wen Si sneered: “I said, thank you father for your help.”
Wen Quansheng’s face suddenly became extremely terrifying.
Wen Si, who rarely saw him show this side of him, couldn’t help but feel a little afraid.
But even so, she still refused to give in.
Beichen Yuan saw this and confirmed Wen Si’s attitude, then he nodded and said, “I understand. A quarter of an hour has passed, why don’t you hurry up and clean up, Saint?”
Upon hearing this, Wen Si no longer cared about Wen Quansheng’s expression, turned around and trotted away.
Wen Quansheng looked at Beichen Yuan again, his voice cold: “Do you really have to go against me like this?”
After watching Wen Si’s thin figure running away, Beichen Yuan sighed in a fake manner.
“There is nothing I can do. After all, I am following orders.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled faintly: “I hope the Duke of Zhenguo will not embarrass me.”
At this point, Wen Quansheng finally understood.
Unless he asks the little emperor to withdraw his order today, Beichen Yuan will not back down.
“Okay, very good.”
Wen Quansheng glanced at him coldly and said, “Since the Regent has said so, I will go to the palace to find His Majesty now.”
Beichen Yuan said nonchalantly: “Then the Duke of Zhenguo must act faster, otherwise by the time Miss Wen Wu enters the temple and leaves the nunnery, it will be too late for the Duke.”
Knowing that Beichen Yuan would not give him any face at all, Wen Quansheng did not dare to waste any more time.
After he instructed Wen Zichen and others to keep an eye on Wen Si, he immediately asked someone to bring a carriage, and he and his son Wen Changyun quickly entered the palace.
But Wen Zichen and others who were left behind by him couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Father, oh father, you can’t defeat His Royal Highness the Regent, so how can they? How to keep an eye on Wen Si?
Beichen Yuan said that there was only half a quarter of an hour left, and Wen Si did not dare to delay any longer.
She asked the Black Flag Army to move away the luggage she had packed earlier, and then she sneaked into her mother’s room.
All of my mother’s things, including her dowry, were put into the jade pendant space.
There is one more thing.
She came to the ancestral hall and brought her mother’s spirit tablet with her.
Instead of letting my mother stay here alone, it is better to go with her to Shuiyue Temple. Then, in addition to praying for the country, she can also chant sutras and pray for my mother.
I hope that in the next life, my mother will never meet anyone from the Wen family again!
Soon, Wen Si returned to the front yard of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.
Seeing that Beichen Yuan seemed to be getting impatient, she quickly stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, Regent, I’ve packed it.”
“Then let’s go.”
Beichen Yuan got up and left.
Wen Si followed immediately.
Wen Zichen and others tried to move forward, but the Black Flag Army’s knives were really blind!
Seeing that Wen Si was really going to leave with Bei Chenyuan, Wen Zichen couldn’t help but shout loudly: “Wen Si! If you leave like this, are you really worthy of your father and us? Aren’t you afraid that you will regret it one day in the future?!”
Hearing this, Wen Si turned around and looked at him, her voice extremely cold: “I, Wen Si, have never done anything wrong to any of you, and I will never regret it in the future.”
After saying that, she got into the carriage.
Beichen Yuan mounted his horse and led the army in front.
He shouted “Go!” and set off with the Black Flag Army, escorting the convoy, towards Nanshan.
At the same time, on the other side——
After Wen Quansheng and his eldest son entered the palace, they unexpectedly met the young emperor who was handling government affairs in the imperial study.
“Your Majesty, my fifth sister Wen Si came to your Majesty to ask to become a nun because she was upset and impulsive after the eldest son of the Cui family of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery broke off the engagement. If she really goes to Shuiyue Temple to become a nun today, then my fifth sister will have to live with the green lamp all her life.”
“Your Majesty, I already regret it now. I only ask you to withdraw your order and let my daughter come back. I will discipline her well in the future and will not let her cause trouble again.”
Wen Quansheng and his son Wen Changyun knelt down together and begged.
The little emperor raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
If he had not seen the wound on Wen Si’s back with his own eyes, he might have really believed the words of the two foxes, one big and one small, and thought that Wen Si was really doing it for some romantic reason.
Even looking at it now, he didn’t think Wen Si would regret it.
However, facing Wen Quansheng, an old minister, he couldn’t speak too directly.
After the young emperor pondered for a moment, he asked, “Duke Zhenguo, have you and your son heard about Wen Si’s trip to Nanshan a few days ago?”
Wen Quansheng didn’t know.
But Wen Changyun heard a little bit, he nodded, and said as if he was a little embarrassed: “Your Majesty, I did hear something, and I didn’t expect that my fifth sister would actually beg Master Mochou.”
He only heard that Wen Si went to Shuiyue Temple and met Master Mochou.
But he didn’t hear how Wen Si asked for the position.
The little emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: “It seems that you did hear something, but what you heard seems to be different from what I heard.”
Wen Quansheng was relieved.
Is there any other inside story here?
Wen Changyun also had a puzzled look in his eyes.
Seeing that both the father and son seemed confused about the situation, the young emperor told them everything Wen Si said and did after entering the palace two days ago, including everything that happened in Nanshan.
At the end, the little emperor said calmly with a meaningful expression: “I have given Wen Si a chance to regret, but she still refused to give up. Even after Master Mo Chou refused, she knelt on the Nanshan Mountain in such a resolute manner. The reason why she did this must be more than just a little bit of love, right?”
