Sima Lantai wanted to go to the palace to meet the queen mother immediately, express her feelings, and give up the marriage.

But how could his father get him to what he wants?

He had long sent someone to guard the mansion like an iron barrel, and he also explained that if anyone let Sima Lantai go out, he would be killed.

How many courage do those servants have? Of course, they all obey orders.

Neither father nor son was willing to give in and the stalemate was in stalemate for several days.

But both father and son are born in the Year of the Ox, and this time they are really like two cows standing together.

The Luan family's complexion that finally recovered became worse than before.

Sima Gang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

That day the maid reported that the wife had not eaten a bowl of three meals and she was not sleeping well.

In order to reassure the wife, Sima Jun came over and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let him agree."

He was a courtier, and he had some methods, but he was just unwilling to use them on his son.

Luan sighed and said, "If you don't come, I plan to send someone to invite you."

"If you have anything to say," Sima Jun said: "If you say it, the troubles in your heart will be lighter. Don't be bored."

"Is Lantai still in the mansion?" Luan asked.

"Don't worry, he can't run away." Sima Jun said.

"That's good," Luan nodded: "Don't take him seriously, don't do stupid things."

"Don't worry too much, he is still young after all. After all, he is making trouble, and after a while, I will find a few elders to persuade him. He is used to being idle all year round and does not like to be restrained. He feels that the royal etiquette is too much, so he will inevitably be unwilling to do so." Sima Gang smiled bitterly and said, "At worst, I can ask the Queen Mother for an imperial edict and allow him to be free."

"Master, I'll go into the palace tomorrow." Luan always speaks softly: "Get out of this marriage."

"You...you said you were going to retire from the marriage?" Sima Gang thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, he doesn't want to, so I go and leave. Why do I say he is still a child? The Empress Dowager discussed with me at the beginning. Of course, I have to come forward to leave, so it's hard to ask him to go by himself." Luan pulled the corners of her mouth gently, smiling a little sad.

"You...why? Don't worry, I will definitely change his mind." Sima Jun looked at his wife worriedly.

"I can't sleep these days, and I've been tossing and turning things around in my heart for many times. Logically speaking, the marriage of my younger generation should be chosen by the elders, but Kelantai is not included.

First of all, he is not like someone else's son, and he has to rely on his father's breath. Or he is in the officialdom, he has to weigh the pros and cons.

He has extraordinary medical skills and does not have to worry about his livelihood. He is also indifferent and does not like to be bound. This is a consensus between you and my husband and I, and you agree with it.

Although we, as parents, have the kindness of giving birth to him, his ten years of studying medicine to cure my illness is enough to compensate.

Not to mention that Lan Tai is unfilial, he is not as blessed as other children. So I never dare to restrain him too much." After Luan said this big sentence, she was already exhausted and panting, and Sima Gung patted her back gently.

"I'm fine, let me finish my words," Luan said slowly, "What's more, others don't understand him, but you and I can't ignore him. Others can force him, but you and I can't. I was weak and sick back then, and my parents-in-law didn't want you to marry me. But you would rather kneel on a ancestral hall to take a hunger strike than marry me. If you had heard of your parents' orders, he wouldn't have been there."

Sima Gang sighed and remained silent. Luan said something right, and he was also a stubborn person.

"Let's do that." After saying everything in his heart, Luan breathed a sigh of relief: "I will say this to the Empress Dowager tomorrow. She is the most compassionate and pityful person, and I believe she will not blame her. Besides, this matter has not been made public and it is not considered to have hurt Princess Yushan's face. What's more, Lan Tai's temperament may have done something extreme. Even if we deceive our superiors and subordinates and randomly form this marriage, the Empress Dowager will be uneasy in the future."

"You said so, that's it." What else can you say as a father and husband?

From that day to now, Sima Lantai has been on a hunger strike.

It's exactly the same as his back then.

However, Sima Lantai was not sure that his parents had made such a decision, and he was still thinking about how to enter the palace.

The next day, it was almost time for lunch.

Mo Tong begged bitterly: "Young Master, just drink some porridge! People are iron rice and steel. You are hungry, who can replace you?!"

Sima Lantai ignored him.

He doesn't eat or drink water now, and he doesn't speak anyone.

Mo Tong had no doubt that if things didn't turn around, his young master would really starve to death.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the maid next to Luan came over, saluted Sima Lantai first, and then said, "Young Master, please come over."

Sima Lantai stood up weakly, and Mo Tong hurried forward to support him.

Sima Lantai thought his mother saw him, but she still persuaded him to accept the marriage.

Who would have thought that after I got there, the table was filled with food and snacks.

"Are you hungry? Have a meal first." Luan said, and personally took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Sima Lantai: "I will be fasted in those few days, and I must have a good meal from now on."

"Mother, have you promised me to go to the palace to see the empress dowager?" Sima Lantai asked hurriedly. His voice was hoarse and he completely lost his usual smooth and beautiful sound.

"What are you doing when you enter the palace?" Luan laughed: "It would be fine if the Queen Mother asked you to see a doctor. Don't run around if you have nothing to do."

"But..." Sima Lantai still had to ask.

"I've been there, don't worry about having a meal!" Luan smiled at her son.

Sima Lantai hesitated even more: "Then you..."

"I turned down this marriage," Luan picked up a shrimp for her son: "I remember you loved eating this when you were a child."

Although my mother said it lightly, Sima Lantai's throat still choked.

Disobeying the Queen Mother's decree and resigning from her marriage with the princess. If I go there, I will rely on my own courage. But what about my mother?

"Why don't you eat it? I peeled this shrimp by myself." Luan smiled and urged Sima Lantai: "Since I was a child, I didn't have much to do for you. Although you and I are mother and son, the fate is very shallow. I often regret not being able to fulfill my duties as a mother. Now that I can do something for you, you don't have to take it too seriously."

Sima Lantai has seen too many patients, and many people have changed their temperaments due to the torture of illness, either being irritable and arrogant or being sinister.

But Luan was always gentle and kind, and Sima Lantai understood why his father had always loved his mother deeply for so many years and never left him.
