Marry a traitor

Chapter 342 Admit your mistake
"My dear, please help me with this!"

Xie Yan listened attentively: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Go and kill Shen Yu for me."

Xie Yan……..
He must have heard it right. The emperor asked him to help kill Xie Yan.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"I am serious about handing this matter over to you. As long as Shen Yu is not dead, I will not be able to sleep for a day!"

The emperor had nightmares these days. He dreamed that Shen Yu, who was ill, slaughtered everyone in the palace, and the capital was filled with blood!
He was also trying to prevent future troubles, lest his dream come true and it would be too late!

"Yes."

Xie Yan immediately agreed and promised the emperor to kill Shen Yu.

"Are you sure? Can you kill Shen Yu? I can lend you a master from the palace. As long as you can kill him, no matter what method you use, it's up to you."

Is Xie Yan sure?

Of course he was not sure, but he had to be sure of what the emperor had told him to do.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

Xie Yan couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking when he asked a civil servant to kill a military officer.

Moreover, the power behind Shen Yu is so huge that the emperor probably couldn't do anything about it, but he let him assassinate Shen Yu.

After much thought, Xie Yan came to only one conclusion.

The emperor is using him as a scapegoat!
If he can’t kill Shen Yu, he will die!

If Shen Yu can be killed, he must die even more. At least the people behind Shen Yu will not let him live.

Either way, it's death!
Xie Yan felt that his life was not lived in vain because he killed Shen Yu before he died.

I’m still feeling depressed about having my embroidered bag snatched away from me just now!

"I resign!"

Xie Yan took the order and went down to think about how to kill Shen Yu.

Use poison?

If he is unreliable, he will have no chance to meet Shen Yu!

Break into the mansion and kill people in the chaos?
No way! I'm afraid it's possible that Shen Yu will kill him during the chaos!
Xie Yan suddenly felt that what was more difficult than passing the imperial examination was how to kill Shen Yu!
He thought about it and felt that even if he was reborn, it couldn't save him. He didn't do anything like killing Shen Yu in his previous life!

He had originally planned to pursue Wan'er, marry her, and love her well. But who would have known that in this life, he would become the husband who killed Wang Wan.

Xie Yan looked at the bright moon, feeling extremely worried.

The masters of the palace given to him by the emperor were waiting outside, waiting for his order to kill Shen Yu immediately.

Xie Yan hadn't figured out how to kill him, so he stayed put for the time being.

But the next day, he unexpectedly met Wang Wan.

Concubine Li wanted to see Wang Wan, so she let her into the palace. Shen Yu was worried about Wang Wan being alone, so he followed her into the palace as well.

Xie Yan had just returned from meeting the emperor and ran into Wang Wan.

Xie Yan felt very uncomfortable with Shen Yu around. He smiled at Wang Wan, and Shen Yu immediately glared at him, so Xie Yan immediately lowered his lips.

"Wan'er, why are you here?"

Wang Wan simply replied, "The Queen has invited you, sir, what a coincidence."

"What a coincidence!"

Xie Yan couldn't hide his inner joy, this was a rare meeting, but Shen Yu was not perfect!

"Farewell!"

Wang Wan didn't want to talk much to Xie Yan, and Shen Yu, this jealous person, was not easy to appease!
Xie Yan watched Wang Wan walk away without looking back. He locked his eyes on Shen Yu and made an archery gesture.

The only thing he felt he was good at was archery. If he coated an arrow with poison and shot it at Shen Yu's heart, the chances of success might be greater.

As Shen Yu was walking, he felt a chill on his back. He turned around and saw Xie Yan smiling at him inexplicably. "What a psycho!"

Shen Yu said coldly, and Wang Wan knew that he was displeased with Xie Yan again!

"Let's go! The Queen is waiting!"

After waiting for a long time, Concubine Li finally met Wang Wan.

"Wan'er, come and sit down."

"Miss."

Wang Wan sat down, not knowing what Concubine Li wanted to talk to him about.

"Now that the princess has left Kyoto, Yunniang is heartbroken. The emperor has been with her for several days and has no time to look for me. I just want you to accompany me."

Wang Wan is one of the few people who can get along with Concubine Li.

"My lady, if you feel bored, I will always be there to accompany you."

The more Concubine Li looked at Wang Wan, the more she liked her. She couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "You are such a lovely girl. It would be great if you were my daughter."

Concubine Li suffered a lot in the first half of her life. She only had one son, the Fifth Prince. If she had lived a happy life, she might have even had a daughter!
"Thank you for your kindness, my lady. I don't deserve it."

"Don't call me a commoner. You are the prime minister's wife. Although the emperor has removed your positions and you have lost your position as Sizhen, I don't like Xie Yan. How can he compare with Shen Yu? I mean, in my heart, you are the real prime minister and prime minister's wife."

Wang Wan was somewhat flattered by Concubine Li's kindness.

"I am terrified. Now it is the emperor's decision. We dare not overstep our authority."

"We are all family, Wan'er, don't worry. If that maid here dares to say anything wrong, I will cut off her tongue immediately."

Concubine Li took a sip of water and said bitterly, "It's just that the emperor has been bewitched by Xie Yan! Last time I said to reinstate Shen Yu, the emperor refused to agree. I think he is just old and blind, and he is doing things recklessly. Sooner or later, this court will be ruined by him!"

Wang Wan didn't dare to answer casually! Concubine Li was outspoken and dared to say anything.

"Wan'er remembers all the kindness your majesty has shown us. Thank you for your support. It was us who offended the emperor. Now it's good as it is."

"What's so good about it!" Concubine Li sighed.

"It's all Wu'er's fault. If he hadn't mentioned marrying Su Su, he wouldn't have disobeyed the order. If Wu'er had gotten along well with you, perhaps things would have been different!"

Wang Wan knew that this was only one of the reasons. The emperor hated them not only because they disobeyed his orders, but also because he was afraid of Shen Yu's military command.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Eat the cake, it's freshly made. Let's not mention the emperor and his people. I will speak for you when there is a chance and try my best to get the emperor to restore your official positions."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Wang Wan was chatting with Concubine Li, while Shen Yu was beside them, enjoying a cup of tea.

"My Lady, the Fifth Prince is here."

"What is he here for?"

"I don't know!"

The fifth prince was ordered to reflect on himself these days, copy books when he had nothing to do, and was not allowed to walk around casually.

As soon as Concubine Li's servant reported, the Fifth Prince entered the room.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to read more books?"

Concubine Li gets a headache when she sees this disappointing son!

"Mother, I heard Wan'er is here, so I came to see him."

"I asked you to read a book. You seem to be well-informed. What does Wan'er's coming have to do with you?"

The fifth prince took a jade ruyi and handed it to Wang Wan.

"Susu's wedding, I missed the date because my mother trapped me in the study, so I'm giving you a jade ruyi. Please give it to Susu for me."

The gift from the Fifth Prince was so valuable that Wang Wan didn't want to accept it. But in front of Concubine Li, she still accepted it.

"I've figured it out these past few days. Susu and Young Master Wei are a perfect match. It was all my fault before. I shouldn't have stopped lovers!"
