Chapter 215 Eldest Sister
At that time, he moved his lips, but did not say anything for a long time, and was unable to answer his eldest sister's questions.
Since then.
Only half a year after the eldest sister went to the Xiongnu, news of her death came.
At that time, he was just one of many princes vying for the position of crown prince. He could not afford to show any sadness towards this princess who was disliked by the late emperor.
He could only hide his elder sister deep in his heart.
I didn’t expect that this hiding would last for decades.
Until the woman in front of him said these words to him, the emperor fell into memories. He looked into Shen Wei's eyes, as if he saw his elder sister coming back.
Eldest sister, eldest sister has never been wrong...
Yes.
But the eldest sister has never enjoyed the favor of the late emperor, and has not even received any honor from the royal family. Yet she has to shoulder the great cause of justice for all the people of the world. Why?
"Since you are so confident, I will give you this opportunity. As long as you can instigate internal fighting among the Xiongnu, obtain the border defense map, and help the court turn defeat into victory."
"I agree to your three conditions!"
"If you can't——"
Shen Wei continued: "I will shed my blood in the northern border and will never bring shame to the imperial court!"
The emperor stared at Shen Wei deeply, with a mixture of nostalgia and emotion in his heart. Even his usually dignified and cold voice was slightly moved: "Yes!"
After Shen Wei left the hall, the entire hall fell into deathly silence again.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the empty palace door.
After a while, he closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "If power only belongs to men, why should women bear the consequences when decisions are wrong?"
'If power is equal between men and women, why don't women have any say?'
"Eldest sister, this scene is really like the scene of the marriage. You asked me the same question back then. The difference is that I was helpless at that time."
"And now, I can give her a chance. Power has been distributed in this way since ancient times. She... is just... Whether she can seize this opportunity depends on her ability..."
"Sister."
"If you were her, could you win?"
No one answered him, and he also knew the final outcome - failure!
Even a heroine like my eldest sister married the Huns and died within half a year.
How capable is Shen Wei?
I don't think it will succeed.
The emperor looked outside the palace and smiled. This time he would just consider it as fulfilling his eldest sister's wish. People always need some expectations to make life interesting, right?
Here.
After Shen Wei left the palace, she sat tiredly in the carriage. The carriage moved slowly, but she leaned weakly as if she had experienced a major confrontation.
Her mood at the moment was very complicated.
This time in the confrontation with the emperor, she almost gained the upper hand.
This is all thanks to the help of Qin Shuyu. It was Qin Shuyu who found out about the emperor's past when he was young from Qin's father. Everyone thought that the emperor was autocratic and suspicious by nature.
In fact, the emperor also had hidden grief when he was young. Now, it is estimated that all the civil and military officials in the court don’t remember the eldest princess of the previous emperor’s time, right?
After all, even the late emperor didn’t like the eldest princess, so how could the civil and military officials in the court have any impression of her?
Qin's father told Shen Wei about this old story, and Shen Wei guessed Qin's father's intention. He wanted Shen Wei to gamble on the matter of the eldest princess!
If there is anyone in this world who can make the emperor change his mind, it must be her!
