Xue Buyun raised his head and glanced at Wei Zhao. The person he had been fighting with just now had called her 'Your Highness'. Was she still his cousin?
"Wei Zhao?" he asked stubbornly in a soft voice.
There were still tears at the corners of Ru Yi's eyes, but she did not make a sound.
"Are you my Cousin Wei Zhao?" He stubbornly wanted to ask for an answer.
Ru Yi opened her mouth but was unable to say anything. She gently nodded her head.
She stood in front of him, the sadness on her face still there.
"Your majesty, it's raining." Zhou Xuan reminded them.
Without looking back, Ru Yi finally opened her mouth and shouted, "Big cloud!" She could no longer hold back her tears.
"My cousin woke up when I came. She was fine."
Ru Yi immediately raised her head. "What did you say? "Mother, she …" There was a hint of hesitation in his voice that was filled with joy.
Xue Xianyun slightly nodded his head, "After eating the food that came from the temple, she fell asleep. Wait …" Only after she left did she wake up. She went to the Royal Temple to give... However, no matter what you do, you are not allowed to be under the orders of a great master, and no temple is willing to do it. My cousin went to ask for a great master, and the great master said that he has his own destiny. "
Li Jing's words rang in her ears again. "The Imperial Tutor said what he said was incorrect …"
In other words, his mother wasn't at the end of her tether and didn't fall ill and go blind? The breath Ru Yi was holding on for suddenly dissipated, she staggered backwards and fell to the ground.
Zhou Xuan didn't know what Ru Yi had said to that person, but seeing her fall, he was startled. Without waiting for Xue Chao Yun to move, he rushed over to support her.
Ru Yi shook her head. "I'm fine. Commander Zhou, you should leave first."
She was on the verge of collapse, and her mind was in a mess. It was as if her heart was filled with flowers and she only had one thought, so her mother was fine.
Mother is fine, what should she do? She turned around and wanted to go back to see her mother. She wanted to tell her mother that it was her fault. She needed to properly admit her mistake!
Xue Xianyun softly called out, "What should I call you from now on? Cousin, or your majesty? "
Ru Yi shuddered, her steps coming to a halt, not daring to look back at him. Her usually strong heart gave birth to fear and weakness from her deceit as she stared into the black void. "Du Weizhao is my reading partner, she's already dead."
Hearing that she was so heartless, her eyes were sour and her chest was churning. She impulsively said,
"Well, my cousin said so, too, that my cousin was dead! "My cousin died well!"
The words came out like sharp blades stabbing into the heart, injuring oneself.
"Good, good. This Emperor and the Imperial Tutor have been together for many years and cannot be compared to a few days worth of effort on the part of the Du Family," Emperor Qing He almost vomited blood. "They really are my good Imperial Tutor. Men, people, where have all these people died?"
At first glance, Emperor Qinghu saw that Grand Official, who was hiding in a corner, had walked over and kicked him.
"What are you hiding for, they're also blaming you. If you hadn't told me that I still have the guts and blood of the people, how would I have thought of that?" Why did you say, ah? How good would it be not to say? It would be better if he made Zhen into a loner and cut off all his descendants! "
Tutor Qian kowtowed and said, "This subject is guilty. This subject is guilty. Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
"Calm down? "I am not a Buddha, how much weight does I need to take to calm my anger?"
Emperor Qinghe was almost on the verge of tears. Look at how selfless and magnanimous the Imperial Tutor was being set against me. I feel ashamed of myself! "I am a vile character, and the honored tutor is a gentleman!"
Tears streamed down the face of Senior Official Zheng as he kowtowed. He could not do anything but say, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. It's all your fault for being a servant."
"Blame you? Hehe, "he laughed dryly," Blame you for what? Do you blame the ancestors that I have seen for not being able to protect my foundation and not having any successors, for finding my bloodline? "
Thunder rumbled outside the hall as Honored Tutor Qian listened to the sound of the rain pouring down. He repeatedly placed his head on the ground. "Your Majesty, please send someone to bring back the princess. The princess is innocent. This old official has been blinded."
"If I don't take it, I'll take it. I won't take it a second time!" Emperor Qinghe's words were sonorous. He turned and slapped the back of his chair. "Ancestors, please take a look. Our country's crown prince …"
Before he could finish, he heard an urgent report from outside the hall. "Your Majesty, we request for an audience outside the palace."
A bolt of lightning streaked past the outside of the hall, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime. Tutor Qian raised his head in surprise and saw the smile that had quickly slipped past Emperor Qing He's lips.
"Tell her to go back, I won't see her." Emperor Qing He immediately regretted his decision. He wished that he could bite off his own tongue. Wasn't this the time to pretend to be pitiful and pull back his sympathy? Could it be that he really wanted to push his daughter to the Dusu clan? Beautiful her!
Senior Official Zheng winked at the servant who had reported the news, and the servant hurried out. After a while, he reported, "Your servant cannot stop him …" The princess came in behind him.
If it was a normal day, Qing He would definitely mock his daughter, but now he couldn't. He was still angry, so how could he laugh?
Ru Yi walked into the hall dejectedly, sat on a chair, and began to cry.
The hall was filled with tacit agreement, and only the ruyi's wails grew louder and louder, causing the hearts of those who cried to not be able to bear it.
Ru Yi thought of how her mother would carry her in her arms every time she woke up early in the night and carry her on her back. It didn't matter if she was going to cook or feed the chickens and ducks at the back …
Her father also liked her, so he placed her on his shoulder to support her. Then, he rolled up his pants as he accompanied her into the river to fish …
As for her cousin, although they hadn't known each other for long, when she heard that she had entered the palace, her heart was filled with grief. He comforted her over and over again, saying that when she reached the age of 25 …
Unfortunately, she would never be able to go back …
Mother said that Du Weizhao was dead, and the third princess was still alive. It was the princess …
If she could, she didn't want to be the crown prince, but who in this world could do as they pleased?
She hid herself in the chair and buried her head in her arms, crying miserably. No matter how much she cried, it wouldn't be the same as before. She knew crying was useless, but she couldn't hold back her sadness.
The rain was falling heavily outside the hall, and within the hall, a small princess was crying bitterly.
Emperor Qinghe didn't know what to do anymore. The girl cried herself and ignored him.
Tutor Qian was also a bit dumbfounded.
Only Senior Official Zheng wiped his sweat. He knew that the princess had a way to calm His Majesty down. Now, hadn't His Majesty already forgotten to be angry?
This old man was clumsy when coaxing people. Emperor Qinghe's heart was raging as he signaled Tutor Qian with his eyes. "Explain the trouble you've caused."
Tutor Qian replied with a look. "If I had the guts to explain, why did I come back and give you so much spiciness?"
The mother of the Curse was extremely disrespectful. Although he did not do that on purpose, that bald donkey in the French Style had pushed him into a pit before even seeing the face of the princess. He had truly tricked him.
Tutor Qian felt that he wasn't that great of a person on both sides. He felt guilty towards the Du Family and had first deceived them, concealing the fact that Wei Zhao was faking his death. Therefore, when he heard that she was in a bit of a bad mood, he lost his focus and didn't discover the loophole in her words.
His Majesty had just condemned him so much, yet every word that spoke of him was without merit! How can you not know how much pressure the Queen has on a man!
After Ru Yi cried for an hour, she finally cried herself to death. Her face was white and her eyes were red and swollen. She normally acted like an adult and didn't look like a little girl at all.
Every time he saw her like this, he would know that her heart was filled with pain and she wished that she could replace him with her body.
An inexplicable sadness also surged in Tutor Qian's heart.
In this world, it was impossible to say who was right or wrong! But the end result was so bad …
At that moment, he thought of his wife who had passed away a long time ago. He had also kept his promise from back then, but he had not expected that today, the Qian Family would have such a hopeless future.
Even if the ancestor were to blame, he wouldn't be able to afford it. Aside from his wife, he would also blame his parents in the sky, who would marry him. If they knew he had no future, they wouldn't be able to meet each other in the future.
"Your Highness, it is all this old official's fault. This old official has trusted the wrong person and said the wrong words. I am here to apologize to Your Highness."
As he spoke, he knelt down once more.
Ru Yi sniffled as she supported him. Since ancient times, there had never been a reason for a master to kneel to his disciple. Moreover, Tutor Qian was already old, how could she be worthy of this sort of courtesy?
"Your son will take his leave. I will pay my respects tomorrow." After saying this, he wanted to go back.
"Stop. Are you blaming me?"
Ru Yi felt her tears flowing again.
"So what if I am? Imperial Father, why are you unwilling to bring your mother into the palace? There were many beauties in her father's palace, so she refused to bring her mother in, right? "Since you dislike your mother, then why did you want to give birth to me?"
Qing He was so angry that his veins were popping out. "Do you think I am willing!?"
"Father is not willing?" She asked softly, "If you don't want mother to give birth to me, then why did you bring me closer to the palace and even teach me how to read? Why don't you give me some soup? Or was royal father forced to do so at the time, not knowing of my existence at all? "
"How dare you!" When his daughter stepped on him, he felt pain in his leg. He grabbed something in his hand and tossed it away as soon as he felt it wasn't heavy. After throwing it out, he saw that it was actually a decorative toy he played with everyday.
Unexpectedly, Ru Yi, who was holding her breath, spat out a mouthful of blood after being hit by the little thing. She swayed and was about to fall down.
Wang Taichang finally caught up with his old arms and legs.
"Aiyo, my royal daughter, my great-grandson. This motherless child is indeed a pitiful child!"
The old man was full of energy, "Aiyo, I'm a half buried person now. Pity my daughter, I only have this single granddaughter. Aiya, how can I explain this to her when the old man is in the dirt?"
Ru Yi also held on to Grand Preceptor Wang's hand and cried. "Great-grandfather Zeng, Imperial Father despised me. He said he wasn't willing to give birth to me with my mother …"
"What a pitiful child. Without a mother, it's the same as being bullied. Great-grandfather Zeng is also a motherless child. Your Highness, we are both in the same boat …"
Of course, Emperor Qinghe couldn't admit it. "When did I ever say that?" The tone of his voice was a bit uncomfortable, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
