Chapter 487: Space Reappears Updated (1)_1
"How he treats me is his own business, which I have no right to interfere with. The only thing I can control is my own heart."
Cai Wei said calmly.
In her view, everyone has the right to love or not to love. The education she received taught her to value equality. Just like Huo Yuan admiring her, she can only show her attitude, but she has no right to compel him to withdraw his feelings.
Whoever Huo Yuan cherishes or despises are his own emotions. Except for himself, no one else has the right to demand how he should feel.
The same goes for Nangong Yi. If he wants to marry other women in the future, that’s his choice. She won’t compromise or stay by his side, but she won’t quarrel with him or interfere. She’ll just quietly leave, the only thing she can control is her own heart.
Huo Yuan deeply furrowed his brows, finding it hard to understand her words, "How can you control your own heart? Don’t you know that if he doesn’t establish the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards for you, you will become the enemy of the powerful ministers?"
Although he is not in officialdom, he understands the behavior of those civil and military officials. They would accuse her of being a siren bewitching the lord every morning at the assembly, slandering her as a demoness disrupting the court and the state of the country, showing a united animosity towards her, and asking The Emperor to banish her to the Cold Palace or even condemn her to death.
If there’s only her in the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, if it really happens, the country will be destabilized, and she will also become a target of the crowd.
"There’s a saying that honest officials find it hard to decide domestic affairs. If the officials dare to meddle in The Emperor’s family matters, it’s nothing more than the exercising of weak authority. In that case, I won’t mind teaching them how to be subjects." Cai Wei’s voice cooled, "My principle and bottom line will absolutely not be violated by anyone. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to wage a massacre for it!"
Huo Yuan froze in silence, a strange look in his eyes, seeming to see a side of her he had never seen before, as if only at this moment did he truly know her.
In the past, she was just a merchant girl who loved to make money and always had business on her mind. Her biggest dream was to open a Ginseng shop. Only now did he realize he only knew part of her, her heart is far wider than a Ginsen shop, and cannot be contained by it.
Suddenly, he became somewhat flustered, feeling like he couldn’t control her, or rather, she had never been under his control. This feeling alarmed him, and his heart began to ache.
