Chapter 149: Determined

Si Yuan drank the medicine, but he was still weak and couldn't get up and walk: "I want to see Lord Wen, please go and tell him."

Langya was surprised: "You want to see Wen Jin again?"

Si Yuan nodded: "I have something to say to him."

Langya had a strange expression: "He is about to kill you, and you still want to see him? Aren't you worried that he will kill you again?"

"No worries." Si Yuan shook his head slowly, "Because there are more important things than my life."

Langya pouted: "Okay, I'll ask someone to help you convey a message. "Sir, whether he wants to see you or not is his business, I have no right to interfere."

Langya walked out and saw Shen Mo who was patrolling. He raised his hand and waved: "Commander Shen."

Shen Mo, dressed in a black robe, had a calm and hard aura and walked over expressionlessly: "Young Master Langya."

"Commander Shen, please go to Qihuang Palace and call Lord Wen over." Langya said, "Si Jianzheng has woken up and insisted on seeing him. He said he had something important to say."

Shen Mo nodded and turned to go to Qihuang Courtyard.

Langya turned and entered Fuyunju. Seeing that Si Yuan had finished a bowl of medicine, he reached out to take the bowl and put it aside: "Lord Si, wait a moment, the commander has gone to call someone."

Si Yuan said thank you, leaned against the couch a little tiredly, his face showing an abnormal paleness.

"Can I ask you a question?" Langya looked at his pale face, "How old is Si Jianzheng this year?"

Si Yuan said weakly: "Why is Mr. Langya interested in my age?"

"Just curious." Langya smiled faintly, "I remember that when the late emperor just ascended the throne, Si Jianzheng was already the director of the Imperial Observatory. The late emperor was in office for more than 20 years... Even if you entered the Imperial Observatory at the age of 18, you should be more than 40 years old this year."

Si Yuan closed his eyes slightly and hummed: "Almost 50."

"I can't tell."

Si Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth: "Stay in the Imperial Observatory just to pray to the gods, not see the sun all year round, the skin is pale, naturally looks young."

Langya frowned: "This explanation is not reasonable, I am a doctor, you can't fool me."

Praying to the gods is extremely exhausting, most people seem to look older than their actual age, it is impossible to look young.

Si Yuan said calmly: "Why would I fool you? People who serve the gods are not the same as ordinary people."

Langya thought: "So this is why you woke up so quickly even though you were on the verge of death?"

Sure enough, the doctor couldn't explain the mysterious things.

"You can think whatever you want." Si Yuan's tone was not good, and he leaned on the brocade couch to rest tiredly, "It's not important."

Appearance, looks, and age are things that only women in the boudoir care about. The responsibility of the Imperial Observatory is to predict the future for the royal family and pray for the world.

Langya nodded: "I am narrow-minded."

Seeing that Si Yuan was in poor spirits and his face was very pale, Langya didn't say anything more to him, turned around and poured a glass of water: "I have asked the maid to cook porridge. Si Jian will eat some porridge later, which can help him recover a little bit."

Si Yuan thanked him and took a sip of the water.

"Yesterday I gave you a Yuan-protecting Pill. Stay here for the next two days to rest and drink some medicine for a few more days—"

A man walked in from outside the door. He was dressed in white, elegant and noble. As soon as he came in, he seemed to bring in the brilliance of the sky, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

Langya turned his head to look at him, and stopped talking. He turned around and sat down on a chair nearby. "The supervisor wants to see you. Lord Wen, please talk to him."

It was just right for him to listen to what they were going to say.

"Langya, you go out." Wen Jin said in a calm voice, "I want to talk to him alone for a while."

Langya shook his head: "His Highness has ordered me to stay with him all the time."

Wen Jin said: "I won't do anything to him again."

"That won't work either."

Wen Jin was quiet for a moment, turned around and walked out: "In that case, you stay with him."

Langya stared at him in surprise: "Hey!"

"Lord Wen, please stay." Si Yuan said, "Please leave for a while, Lord Wen and I have something to say."

Langya pouted, he wanted to stay and listen, but he couldn't?

Wen Jin stopped.

Langya rolled his eyes, got up and walked out.

"Lord Wen."

"Since you are awake, I will tell you my decision." Wen Jin turned and looked at Si Yuan, his tone calm, "The eldest princess will become the auspicious sign of Suzaku City and the female emperor of destiny. My responsibility is to assist her to become a great empress. If you think this result is acceptable, start cooperating with my plan today; if you think it is inappropriate, please shut up, heal your wounds and return to the imperial city. You are free to do whatever you want, but you have no right to interfere with my decision."

Si Yuan did not seem surprised that he would say such a thing, and was silent for a long time: "The royal bloodline does not allow-"

"I just told you my decision." Wen Jin looked indifferent, "As for what you think, I don't care, and the royal bloodline is not within my consideration. I have no obligation to maintain the purity of the royal bloodline."

Si Yuan said: "Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for women to be emperors."

"The eldest princess can set this precedent."

Si Yuan closed his eyes, looking tired: "Lord Wen, has your mind made up?"

Wen Jin lowered his eyes, "It cannot be changed."

"In that case, I can ask the Imperial Observatory to help the princess, but Lord Wen must also agree to one condition of mine." Si Yuan took a breath, "You can't start a civil war - even if you have to, you can't hurt innocent people."

Wen Jin nodded: "No problem."

"The emperor must care about the world." Si Yuan continued, "Since Lord Wen has decided to help the princess take that position, he must make sure that the princess is capable of governing the world, and will not indulge in pleasure during her reign, and must always put the people first -"

"You ask too much." Wen Jin raised his eyes to look at him, "It's not your turn to interfere with what kind of emperor the princess wants to be."
