Yun Jiao Rong kept shaking her head in his arms and sobbed silently.
How could she wait and do nothing? The Mr. Liu was right, she was the daughter of the Mo family, her origins meant that she was burdened with national hatred and the responsibility of avenging her country.
"Rong Er, listen to me, this is not your problem, just let me do it."
Yun Jiao Rong did not answer. She cried for a long time before she silently withdrew from Mo Rong Tian's embrace and left the Dragon Gate Academy.
She didn't know how she managed to return to the palace or the Mourning Cloud Hall. She was in a state of complete hesitation.
No wonder father forbade her to be with the Kaiser. No wonder he forced her to swear that kind of venomous oath not to let him be with Yan Shuo. So that was how it was.
She was the daughter of the Kaiser from the previous dynasty, and Yan Shuo was her enemy.
Yun Jiao Rong sat on the chair in a daze, feeling cold all over.
In just a day's time, there had actually been an earth-shattering change.
Her eyes were red and filled with tears. Remembering what Liu Qian Xun had told her, her heart found it even harder to accept.
"Father, did my father really die in your hands?"
Yun Jiao Rong didn't want to believe that fact. Since young, his father had doted on her, and that kind of affection wasn't something that could be faked just by pretending.
He was teaching Kaiser. Even though he knew that it was unreasonable, he still requested for the previous emperor to have her teach him in the palace. How could she forget about all these and easily deny it?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. The only thing she was clear about was that it was impossible for her and Yan Shuo to be together in this life.
She hid in her room for a long time before the palace maid knocked on the door. "Miss, the Emperor has come. He is waiting for you in the hall."
Hearing that Yan Shuo had arrived, Yun Jiao Rong's face became even more unsightly, she looked at the door without saying a word, waiting for the palace maid to call her again. Only then did Yun Jiao Rong regain his senses, and replied: "I understand."
He walked into the hall with a face full of weariness. Yan Shuo was sitting in the middle of the chair, holding a teacup, his fingers gently rubbing the rim of the cup, looking deep in thought.
Yun Jiao Rong's footsteps paused for a moment, and Yan Shuo's gaze just happened to land on her, causing her heart to feel a piercing pain.
"Your majesty."
She knelt down in front of Yan Shuo and bowed slightly. When she raised her head to look at Yan Shuo, he was looking at her too.
But now, when Yun Jiao Rong saw him again, his heart had turned a hundred times over. He had no idea at all what kind of identity he should have right now to face Yan Jue.
Yan Jue quietly looked at her, a trace of bitterness and puzzlement flashing across her elegant face. Suddenly, his heart tightened and he opened his mouth, wanting to ask her what was wrong, but he was afraid that his overly worried feelings would bring her even more pressure.
He pursed his lips and took a sip of tea from his teacup. Putting the teacup to the side, he used an extremely calm tone and said, "I have come …" This is for you. "
He passed a rosewood box to Yun Jiao Rong. "Today, when the people from the Ministry of Work were repairing the Tai Fu Garden, they found this in a dried up well and sent it to me."
Yun Jiao Rong recognized this. When he was young, Tutor Yun had told her that this box contained a big secret.
Big Secret...
Yun Jiao Rong's heart thumped for a moment, then he suddenly turned to look at Kaiser. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his expression, he only opened his mouth and said: "This box might be something Tutor Yun left for you.
"Thank you, your majesty. This is a box from when I was young and was playing secret games with my father. The little secrets that my father and I have were all hidden inside."
"Oh? What little secret does Rong Er have? "
Yan Shuo had originally only asked casually, but then he saw Yun Jiao Rong's face suddenly changed, as if he had suffered some sort of shock.
Although Kaiser noticed her sudden change in expression, the feelings he had poured into her made him unsuspicious of Yun Jiao Rong. He only shifted his gaze away indifferently and said: "Keep this thing, I will be leaving first."
Yun Jiao Rong didn't plan on keeping Kaiser alive. At this time, she didn't even have the courage to face Kaiser.
"Respectfully sending off your majesty!"
Yan Shuo walked to the door and paused for a moment. Then, he laughed bitterly in his heart and left without looking back.
Yun Jiao Rong endured the pain in his eyes and carried the rosewood box back to his room.
The box was locked. This box had been designed to be far away from the mechanism. Although it was locked, there was no need for the key. All they needed to do was to unlock it in order.
This mechanism was somewhat difficult. It was difficult for an ordinary person to unlock it within a short period of time, so from the looks of it, this box should have been opened by someone.
Yun Jiao Rong followed the method Yun Yuanbo had taught her in his memory and opened the box.
Inside the box, there weren't many things. There was an exquisite silver lock, a letter, and a notebook. On the top of the note was written "The Big Ink Follower". Yun Jiao Rong thought about the notebook that Liu Qian Xun had shown her today.
She will open the note, and the first page is also about the birthmark on her body.
The contents written were exactly the same as the book that Liu Qian Xun had given her. At this time, even if she suspected Liu Qian Xun's book, she couldn't doubt the book that her father had personally placed inside.
There was no doubt that she was a princess of the Great Mo Empire. Yun Jiao Rong was not happy because of his "noble" identity, but this identity had completely cut off everything between her and Yan Shuo.
She picked up the letter again. The familiar words were naturally on it, and she would not forget his father's, Yun Yuanbo's, words. This word contained a boundless perseverance and perseverance, and she refused to believe that an old man who could write such a word would sell everything for honor in order to live and personally kill her father.
She opened the letter. It was written by Yun Yuanbo.
[Rong Er, now that you can see this letter, it means that your father is no longer in this world. Regarding your background, I feel that I should let you know that you have the qualification to make a decision.
Daddy knew in your heart, you're blaming Daddy for forcing you to swear a poisonous oath, forced you to stay away from Yan Shuo. Daddy just didn't want you to take any risks.
The birthmark on your body proves everything. If Yan Shuo saw your birthmark, he would be able to know your identity, and this is the reason why Father did not want you to be involved with Yan Shuo.
Since the ancient emperor was heartless, no matter how much Yan Shuo treats you well, how long will it take for him to know that you are a princess from the previous dynasty, and that he would treat you well?
Rong Er, you must remember, you are a princess of the Great Mo Dynasty, you have bled the Mo family, you must avenge your royal father, your mother, this is your responsibility …]
The letter was very long, two pages long, and it described how her parents had died.
Her mother was the last generation of the Kaiser's empress, when Meng Chang Xiong's army charged into the palace, they killed a lot of palace maids and servants, and even the palace maids of the empress palace were not spared.
They even wanted to flirt with the empress, for she would not be able to bear the humiliation and would hang herself in her chamber. Those soldiers were indignant, and would even humiliate and whip the empress's corpse.
