Yang Fan was stunned for a long time before he slowly said, "You swore in my name? Wan'er, I won't hide it from you. The name I'm using now is actually just a pseudonym, not my original name. So you swore in this name, in fact... "
Shanghai Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed down. She gently shook her head and said, "Wan'er understands what you mean. But no matter what name Wan 'er said when she swore, the person she was thinking of in her heart was you. If changing a name was enough to break an oath, then there would be no need for so many people to swear an oath to the heavens. Wouldn't it be fine if they just changed their name after making an oath? "
Yang Fan became a little impatient and said, "In fact, ghosts and gods are illusory. Who has ever seen ghosts and gods with their own eyes? You don't need to worry about this oath. I don't believe in these things! "
Wan'er said in a low voice, "You don't believe it, but Wan'er does! Heaven and earth can't be bullied, and ghosts and gods can't be bullied! How could Wan'er dare to joke around with Langjun's life? "
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but cry again. She sadly said, "If Wan'er is with Langjun again, how can I not think of this oath? How can I not be afraid? At that time... every time I see Langjun, it will be a torture. How can I be happy? Langjun, do you understand? "
Yang Fan was silent. To be honest, he didn't really believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. But it was not entirely true that he didn't believe in them at all. He believed that there was an existence beyond human beings that controlled the operation of heaven and earth. But he didn't really believe in the idea that God would interfere with everything in the world, including taking care of everyone's oath.
If God really cared about everything that happened in the world, then where was God when hundreds of people in the Peach Blossom Village were killed for no reason? How bored would God have to be to act like a person who made a contract, caring about everyone's oath and supervising the execution of it? But even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't make Wan'er not believe it either.
He also understood that the most important thing was not whether or not Wan 'er believed him. It was the mark that this oath had left in Wan' er's heart. It would seriously affect Wan 'er. As long as they were together in the future, she would constantly think of this oath. How could she be happy? In that case, being with her would become a kind of torture. This kind of torture would eventually wear away her feelings and make her afraid to get close to him.
So when Yang Fan heard that Princess Taiping had forced her to make a poison oath, Yang Fan laughed and did not take it too seriously. At this moment, looking at Wan 'er's tearful eyes and painful expression, he truly felt how much the poison oath that Princess Taiping had forced Wan' er to make had hurt her.
Taiping's actions were undoubtedly because of her love for him. However, this kind of love was not only forcefully possessive, but also plundering and harming others. Yang Fan could tolerate some of the things she did to him, but he could not forgive her for hurting Wan'er. In the name of love, could she hurt others so unscrupulously? If Xiao Man had not been alert and avoided this trap, then right now, Xiao Man would be like Wan'er, washing her face with tears all day long.
Anger burned in his heart, but Yang Fan could not think of any words to comfort Wan'er. He also could not think of what to do to untie this knot in her heart. He knew that as long as this knot could not be untied, Wan'er would never be with him again. Putting himself in her shoes, if Princess Taiping had forced him to use Wan'er's life to make an oath, could he be with Wan'er without any psychological barriers and sleep on the same bed with her?
Seeing Wan'er's eyes blurred with tears, Yang Fan temporarily sorted out his messy feelings. He softly comforted her, "Don't be sad, be good …"
He gently stroked the wrinkles on Wan'er's forehead and softly said, "Why are you so distressed? Since God has let us be together by fate, he will not separate us like this."
He gently held Wan'er in his arms and stroked her long hair and thin shoulders. In a low voice, he said, "Life is hard to predict. When I first walked into the Royal Palace, carrying the halberd, I stood at the door of the Hall of Martial Attainment, watching the beautiful and proud Miss Shangguan float in and out. Did Miss Wan'er ever think that the stinky man next to you, drooling and staring at you, would be your future husband? "
Wan'er was amused by him and laughed out loud. Her face was still wet with tears. She felt a little embarrassed when she laughed. Wan'er shyly buried her head in Yang Fan's arms and used his clothes to wipe the tears on her face. With a nasal voice, she said, "How was I drooling? You said it so unbearably …"
Suddenly, Wan'er remembered how Yang Fan stood there in a daze, and how he followed behind her and stared at her body when he accompanied her to the Hall of History. The past flashed in her mind as if it happened yesterday. She could not help but feel a kind of sweetness in her heart.
Seeing that her attitude had softened, Yang Fan took the opportunity to say, "At that time, you did not think that we would be together, did you? Between you and me, at that time, the difference in status was like heaven and earth. No one could have imagined that in the end … you would become my woman. In this world, what could be more important than an emperor? In order to be together, we have always worked hard. One day, even the Emperor will not be able to stop us from being together! "
Wan'er heard him speak with infinite love and could not help but raise her head and look at him with infatuation.
Yang Fan gently said, "At that time, did you hesitate? At that time, Wan'er did not worry, nor did she hesitate. In order for us to be together, it was you who thought of a way for me to embark on a career as an official so that one day, I could marry you openly. You and I both firmly believed that such a day would come! What is going on now? We are confident that we can get past the Emperor. Are you saying that we cannot get past the Princess? "
Wan'er raised her head and said hesitantly, "But, this is not a problem with the Princess. This is a vow to the Heavens …"
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "So what if it is the Heavens? If the Heavens have eyes, if there really is a God in this world, will he accept such an unfair vow? What right does he have to punish you and me? That encounter by the Luo River probably meant that the three of us will be entangled for a while. But, you have to believe me. I will definitely think of a solution! "
"Yes, Wan'er believes in Langjun …"
In Wan'er's heart, Yang Fan's words finally defeated the power of the Gods. She meekly leaned into Yang Fan's arms and softly said, "Since Wan'er is Langjun's woman, Langjun is Wan'er's sky! Wan'er … will listen to Langjun … "
At this time, Wan'er would rather believe that Yang Fan would finally think of a solution. As long as she did not give up, she would always have something to look forward to. However, when she thought of the vow that Princess Taiping forced her to make, her heart was still clouded. Could the vow really be broken?
She could only hope that her man was omnipotent.
...
Yang Fan was gentle and continued to persuade her. Wan'er's heart finally felt a lot better. These days, she did not dare to show anything strange in front of others. But in private, she was full of worries. She could not sleep at all. Her spirit was about to be tortured to the point of collapse.
Although Yang Fan's comforting words could not completely untie the knot in her heart, it had a great effect on her spirit. Listening to Yang Fan's sweet words, the deep depression in her heart was gradually dispelled.
As soon as Wan'er's mood calmed down, she thought of a very important matter. She could not help but tell Yang Fan, "The Emperor let Langjun go to the Ministry of Justice to be the Disciplinary Officer. This clearly means that he wants to put Langjun in an important position. But the Emperor first used the position of the Chief Clerk of the Princess Palace to test you. This means that the Emperor does not approve of Langjun's relationship with Taiping … "
Yang Fan said, "Wan'er, there is nothing between me and Taiping …"
Wan'er interrupted him and said, "Wan'er understands, but the Emperor does not. Right now, the rumors among the people are very noisy. Langjun cannot explain this matter. But in the future, Langjun should draw a clear line between yourself and the Princess and have less contact with her. Otherwise, it will be bad for Langjun. You might even be killed. "
Yang Fan nodded hard and said seriously, "I understand. After this matter, I know even more clearly that if we continue to be ambiguous and entangled, we will both be hurt. If I had made my attitude clear to her, I believe she would not have had any illusions and forced you to make such a poisonous vow. This time, I will completely end things with her. "
"Yes."
Wan'er hugged Yang Fan tightly and said, "To be able to be put in an important position by the Emperor is a great opportunity for Langjun. But this position is an errand to offend people. Since ancient times, officials like this rarely have a good ending. Because this position is basically an enemy of all the other officials. Even if the Emperor does not want to get rid of the donkey after it has outlived its usefulness, the officials in the court will not give up the opportunity to take revenge. "
Yang Fan said, "Yes, I have not had time to carefully think about my future plans. But with this position, I do not necessarily have to walk the path of Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen. Di Gong used to be a minister of the Supreme Court. Within a year, he had dealt with many accumulated cases. There was not a single case that was unjustly reported. Because of this, he became famous. Only then did the Emperor notice him and put him in an important position.
Xu Yougong of the Censorate always disagreed with Lai Junchen. But because even the Emperor knew about his toughness, he was as steady as a mountain. Lai Junchen had harmed so many people, but he could not do anything to the person under his nose. Lai Junchen has been exiled, but Xu Yougong is still alive and kicking. If you want to make a name for yourself, you must be different. But you do not have to be a cruel official. "
"Yes."
Wan'er showed a slight smile on her face. "Wan'er was about to tell Langjun. Since the Emperor wants to use you, you can't just sit and do nothing. But to be a lone official and be the enemy of hundreds of officials, not to mention the fact that Langjun could not do such a heartless thing, even if he was willing to do it, there would come a day when his reputation would be ruined because of his temporary arrogance. Imitating Di Renjie and Xu Yougong is a good idea. But I have something that I hope Langjun will remember. If you can do it, you will have no worries. "
