465 Here Again?!
In order to make the Emperor feel at ease, he didn’t get married and have children his entire life. After all, the Emperor only had an heir. At that time, he was the only one left in his family, and everyone else had died.
If he had retreated, he wouldn’t have been a threat at all!
However, the Emperor was still not at ease and wanted to see him die.
Xue Yan’s mouth quivered, but he still opened his eyes.
He didn’t let himself continue thinking about it. This was all in the past.
Xue Yan put away Pei Dongyu’s letter and then replied to Pei Dongyu with another piece of paper.
In his previous life, he had promised Pei Dongyu that he would be more ambitious and rise the ranks with him. However, in this life, he had left the academy and stopped studying, so he would tell Pei Dongyu the truth.
He was not worried about his good friend Pei Dongyu. In his previous life, this good friend had hidden in the mountains and lived a leisurely life. Not many people knew which mountain he was on.
Even when he went to visit, he went alone, afraid of being discovered.
He was also afraid that the same thing might happen again. The people he cared about were dying one after another before him. He did not want to implicate his good friends and cause them to die one by one before him.
It was the same for his other friends.
When Sifu left him, he firmly believed that anyone who was close to him would have a bad ending. After that, he completely cut off all contact with his good friends. He even cut off all contact with Dongyu. He did not want anyone to get into an accident because of him.
Because of this, many scholars criticized him, saying that he was an ungrateful person.
This was his absolute resolute decision that he would never go back on.
As long as no one was in trouble because of him, he was willing to be berated for thousands of years.
It was a good thing that they had broken up long ago. Otherwise, the Emperor would not be at ease knowing his friend was alive. How could he resolve it by drinking a cup of poisoned wine? He would definitely implicate others to reach the same fate.
Now that he thought about it, he didn’t remember how he had been living ever since Sifu passed away. He felt as if she couldn’t remember those days anymore. He only knew that in the end, the memory of being given a cup of poisoned wine by Ling Xuanyuan was still as clear as a summer’s day.
When the ink on the letter was dry, Xue Yan folded the letter and put it in an envelope with the words To Dongyu Then, he put the letter aside.
Tomorrow, Sanfu will send ice to the Pei family. At that time, he would ask Sanfu to send this letter to the Pei family as well. He would ask the Pei family to send this letter to Pei Dongyu when they had the time.
At noon the next day, Xue Sanfu took Xue Yan’s letter to Pei Dongyu and rode to the residence with the ice.
The weather was heating up. The Xue family was afraid that Xue Da would feel uncomfortable from the heat, so while Xue Dafu and the others were busy making ice, Xue Yan brought Jiang Yue to bring two small basins of ice to Xue Da’s room.
There were also a few popsicles.
Xue Yan struggled to carry it with his two hands, and Jiang Yue followed beside him.
“Aiyo, Xue Yan, why are you carrying so many?” Qian Caiyu was the first to see him. She hurriedly walked out and helped him carry it in.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, you’re here again!” Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao were especially happy seeing the familiar faces.
Qian Caiyu immediately laughed. “What do you mean again? You’re saying it as if you don’t like them coming. Don’t say it like that next time.”
“We don’t mean it like that, it’s not like we don’t like them!” Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao argued. The two children were serious and even got a little angry.
“Yes, yes, yes. We all know you like them.” Qian Caiyu was very happy. As she spoke, she entered Xue Da’s room, “Father, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are here to send you ice again.”
