"When I saw your bundle at the head of the bed, I knew that your child was ready to leave. Although the godmother did not know who your daughter was, she must have her own difficulties and abilities to come here alone. The godmother doesn't have to ask you to come back to see her. You've been doing a lot of happy things in the past few months. She just wants you to be safe and sound. If it's convenient, let someone send a letter to her to let her know that you're doing well." Wu li raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve. She put it on Su Mianyue's arm and said, "Good boy, I know you're not the kind of girl who likes to wipe her tears. I won't give you a gift tomorrow. I'll keep this for you too. Whenever you come back, you'll be like your own home."
Nodding vigorously, Su Mianyue reached out and hugged Mrs. Wu. Her eyes were sour but she smiled and said, "Godmother, you and godfather have to take good care of yourself. We will meet again in the future, and we will eat the steamed buns that godmother steamed."
After a few more words, Mrs. Wu went back to her home, but Su Mianyue sat in bed sleeplessly.
Thinking about it, he took out a bag of broken silver and two hundred taels of silver tickets and put them under the pillow. Although Su Mianyue had a lot of money on him, too much money in the farmers' house would only cause trouble. It was enough for the old couple to keep a side.
During this period of time, she was able to enjoy the peace she had never experienced before, and even the hatred in her heart was completely purged. Su Mianyue was extremely grateful to the simple and honest Wu Family couple that she would never forget this period of time.
Since she was sleepless, Su Mianyue simply walked away with a bundle on his back, but after she left, Wu Yuqing stood in the yard and looked into the distance and whispered, "If what you say is true, I will keep my promise to help him dominate the world. I hope you can find Biwu. I will fulfill my engagement and marry her. I will cherish and protect her for the rest of my life."
The news that Wanyan Lin was captured alive spread back to the Hengyuan, and Retired Emperor was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted for several days. Empress Dowager was also very anxious that his temples turned white. Yinn Yue, as the queen, wanted to take charge of the whole situation at this time, but the little prince was less than two years old, and the court officials suggested that he become the crown prince. Once Wanyan Lin had an accident, he could ascend the throne as well, and Yinn Yue did not dare to accept it.
When Retired Emperor heard the news, he was surprisingly calm, and as Retired Emperor, he issued an order to make the little prince the crown prince. At the same time, he used all the available dark forces to rescue Wanyan Lin, but they all failed.
Not to mention that the men who escorted Wanyan Lin were difficult to deal with, and a few unknown forces were secretly blocking it until the Tianlan sent people to deliver the letter of redemption, Retired Emperor gave up on the rescue and had to clench his teeth to sign a concession to fifteen cities. He also agreed to the condition that as long as Wanyan Lin was alive, he would donate 500,000 tons of grain and grass and 500,000 taels of silver every year.
Half a year later, the skinny Wanyan Lin finally returned to the palace. When Retired Emperor saw Wanyan Lin, he hit him with a walking stick and shouted, "Son of heaven, you still have the face to come back alive! You wouldn't listen to me if I told you not to go on a personal expedition. After losing so many soldiers, I gave you fifteen cities in exchange for your life, and signed so many unfair treaties to lose power and humiliate the country. How did I give birth to such a son in my life, and I was determined to support you to ascend the throne!"
"It's not too late for father to regret now." Wanyan Lin said with a gloomy face.
In the past year, he had suffered a humiliation that he had never experienced before. He was trampled to the ground in both the Tianlan and the Hengyuan, but now his birth was denied.
Seeing that Wanyan Lin had no intention of repenting, Retired Emperor was so angry that he could not say a word except to scold his son. Until Retired Emperor vomited blood and fainted, Wanyan Lin still had a cold expression and did not care about Retired Emperor's life or death at all.
Back in Mental Cultivation Hall, Wanyan Lin finished bathing and dressing, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, kicked the bronze mirror to the ground, grabbed a palace maid who served him, and violently trampled on the ground, until he played him to death before ordering someone to take him out and throw him into a mass grave.
For more than a month in a row, Wanyan Lin never went to the early court and vented his anger in Mental Cultivation Hall every day. Every day, he had to carry out at least one of the palace maids' bodies. The concubines in the back palace did not dare to compete for favor, and the palace maids were even more afraid that they would be on duty. Although Yinn Yue tried to block the news, there were still rumors outside the palace. Many of the students scolded the fatuous monarch for the imminent death of the daoist country. Even though there was a pure stream faction of officials who wanted to dissuade Wanyan Lin from his atrocities, they could never see jun yan.
The Hengyuan is like a boat in the wind and rain, which could sink at any time because of a small storm.
However, when everyone thought that yan lin would continue to wreak havoc, he suddenly woke up and took the initiative to write down his own decree to list the mistakes made by jun lai in order to seek the forgiveness of his subjects. However, god seemed to be moved by Wanyan Lin, and it rained heavily for three days in a row. The people of the Hengyuan who suffered from the drought were once again confident in the court.
Kneeling at the entrance of Shou' an Palace with a thorn on his back, he refused to get up despite the heavy rain. Wanyan Lin insisted on seeing Retired Emperor.
"Is Retired Emperor really so cruel? Even if he was wrong, it was because he was sent to be a proton since he was a child. It was our parents who failed to teach him. Now he has sincerely repented. Even god gave him a chance, but Retired Emperor is not willing to give him a chance? The emperor has suffered too much because of us. Does Retired Emperor want to force him to death?" Empress Dowager knelt down in front of Retired Emperor and cried, but now her old face was no longer as moving as before, and her voice was loud.
Retired Emperor frowned impatiently. How could he bear for Wanyan Lin to kneel outside?
But now everything that happened in the palace would be spread outside the palace, and even if he did, he had to make Wanyan Lin suffer more.
Closing his eyes, Retired Emperor said coldly: "If your heart aches for him, go out and kneel with him. Since I have abdicated my position, I have no right to take care of the affairs of the emperor. I have done too much for him in the past year, and now I just want to live my last days in peace. I don't want to see this willful, cruel and tyrannical son of mine again, and let him go alone. Roll far away and never appear in front of an orphan!"
"Retired Emperor, you are so cruel!" Empress Dowager saw that the crying was fruitless, so he got up and went to the courtyard to persuade Wanyan Lin to go back to Mental Cultivation Hall. However, Wanyan Lin insisted on Retired Emperor's forgiveness, and Empress Dowager had no choice but to say: "You father and son have the same temperament. The ai family can't persuade any of you. Then the ai family will stay here with you and see how cruel your father is!"
No matter how Wanyan Lin and the palace people tried to persuade them, Empress Dowager insisted on kneeling with Wanyan Lin in the rain. The news spread to the harem, and the clever concubines came to kneel with the holy grail dressed in flowery clothes, but their identities could only kneel far away.
Yinn Yue naturally got the news as well. Looking at Little Prince, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Yinn Yue sighed, "Prince, it is not that the empress does not love you, but that the empress dowager has always relied on love to survive. Although you are a crown prince, you have never been loved by your father. Now that the empress dowager wants to fight for you, you must understand the hardships of the empress dowager."
