Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging You Away

Chapter 28

I should explain who Yuwen Rui is, before I had only said Yuwen Rui is the son of my eldest maternal uncle - General Yuwen, is the most favoured Royal Official of the Capital before the emperor, but in fact, this guy also has another identity, which is the Yun Mi Kingdom's most secretive and also the most powerful rebel.

En, are you able to understand now, to put it more simply, Yuwen Rui this brat, has been receiving the most glorious favouring on the surface, but in the shadows, have been vying for power against my Father Emperor, with both side refusing to back down.

Yuwen Rui, this naïvely and innocently behaved comrade, only knows to think: the emperor treats this brat well, this brat still isn't satisfied, wanting to bite back the hand that feeds, this brat is just too greedy.

But anyone who is the tiniest bit as unkind as I am, would think, Yuwen Rui is indeed an intelligent person, with people like this, whoever faces them will have to suffer.

The situation in Yun Mi is similar to the majority of other countries, has countless favoured ministers, corrupt ministers and loyal ministers.

Yuwen Rui's father - General Yuwen - as the current emperor's eldest brother-in-law, has made countless big and small sweat filled contributions within the past twenty-five years, after protecting the nation's stability and peace n number of times, has earned unparoled respect and high prestige from the commoners of the nation, this makes the Yuwen family Yun Mi's most prosperous clan. To put it less elegantly, the rays of glory is strong enough to keep the Yuwen clan with eighteen generations brilliantly lit up.

But over the thousands of years, there has been a set law that will never go out of date, that is those that flourish will definitely provoke doubt and jealousy.

My eldest uncle General Yuwen is an honest military general from the brutal battlefields, he's brave, he's fearless, he is as great and mighty as the gods. But he is not corrupt, nor scheming, only having a very straightforward passionate love for his nation. He naturally does not know that countless scoundrels have been throwing dark thorns before Father Emperor, and of course he does not know that the husband of his younger sister who had once respected him greatly, has already grown to become the emperor, one who sits on the nation's most honourable seat - the emperor.

And so his power had begun to suppressed in the shadows, and so he has been sent abroad for long period of time, and so he apparently promoted but actually demoted time and time again. General Yuwen remains upright and fearless, yet the Yuwen family weakens step after step, should there be no problem, the Yuwen family shall be like all the other prosperous and honourable clans, like a lit candleflame at night, slowly extinguishes.

But then, there are just always so many unexpected incidents in the world.

From General Yuwen's family out comes a Yuwen Rui, elegantly refined and pleasant-looking as he appears before everyone, accepting dazzling glory with ease, unknowingly preventing all declines, and whilst smiling, he casts a cold and firm wall.

This is Yuwen Rui, that man that has always been elegantly refined and pleasant-looking just like the morning dew, the one who is cunning in reality like a thousand-year-old fox - Yuwen Xiu, the one who is capable of freezing everything around him when cold and indifferent - Yuwen Xiu.

I suddenly feel my heart shrink a little, Yuwen Rui is so outstanding, such an outstanding Yuwen Rui, yet he is not the son of the father he respects and protects, when he had heard his mother tell him this fact, how horrible he must have felt.

"Princess." Xi Xi quietly calls out next to my ear: "We're here."

I slowly open my eyes, hazily sounding "mm", casting aside the long absent feeling of worry in my heart just now.
