The room began to fall into silence.
"Little Thirteen, the matter of you being poisoned this time has truly made you feel wronged." After who knows how long had passed, Yuwen Di finally continued to speak, and looked at Duan Yunfei as she sighed.
Duan Yunfei didn't say anything. Instead, she raised her head and gave Yuwen Di a faint smile, and instead consoled him by saying: "Royal father, don't worry, although this trip is dangerous, since this son has escaped from danger, and is currently the greatest fortune, how can it be counted as me feeling wronged."
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Yuwen Di nodded. He hesitated for a bit, probably wanted to say something to Duan Yunfei. But in the end he did not speak.
"Father, what's wrong?" Seeing Yuwen Di's appearance, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked him.
Yuwen Di shook his head, signalling for everyone in the house to leave.
Duan Yunfei knew then that Yuwen Di must have something important to tell her. In all likelihood, this was related to the matter of her being poisoned.
Only after everyone in the hall had left did Yuwen Di turn his head to look at Duan Yunfei. He laughed bitterly and said to Duan Yunfei: "Little Thirteen, do you know who the poisoner was?"
"Reporting to royal father, this son does not know." Duan Yunfei lowered her head, respectfully bowed to the emperor, and said.
"Your mind is meticulous and smart. Although there is no evidence to prove who did it, I know that your heart has more or less come to an end." Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, the emperor knew that she was not speaking the truth. With a faint smile, she waved at Duan Yunfei and said.
Since that is the case, Duan Yunfei did not try to defend herself anymore and raised her head to look at Yuwen Di. Reporting to royal father, I believe that Sixth Princess did not harm me. "
"Yes." Yuwen Di nodded, and sent out a muffled reply. He sighed heavily and said to Duan Yunfei: "This matter was indeed not done by Ying Luo. "However, this has been implicated in so many things. We can only punish Ying Luo, and suppress all the rumors in the world."
"Is it really the empress?" Caught off guard, Duan Yunfei raised her head and asked Yuwen Di with an expressionless face.
Yuwen Di did not expect Duan Yunfei to guess the person who secretly poisoned her so quickly. She was stunned for a moment, and in the end, she nodded towards Duan Yunfei.
"Although I don't get along with the empress on the surface, in any case, I have great respect for the empress in my heart. I know that the empress doesn't like me, so I kept a close eye out, afraid of offending the empress." "But why does esteemed empress still want to put me to death?" As Duan Yunfei spoke, she lost control of her emotions for a moment. At the end, even her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
Yuwen Di didn't know what to do at this moment. He could only reach out his hand and lightly pat Duan Yunfei's shoulder, while consoling her without end: "Little Thirteen, this is all royal father's fault. royal father knows how hard it was for you, but you are royal father's most beloved child, so for Jin Country's sake, no matter how much suffering you suffer, you must persevere. "
After a while, Duan Yunfei's emotions calmed down a little. She nodded towards Yuwen Di as she sobbed.
"Little Thirteen, she is after all, the empress, the mother of a nation in my Jin Country. Yuwen Di said to Duan Yunfei as his eyebrows knitted tightly.
Duan Yunfei nodded lightly. Not a word.
"Little Thirteen, we will definitely protect you well in the future. We will absolutely not let anyone hurt you again." Yuwen Di looked at Duan Yunfei, and said each word to him.
The emotions he spoke of made Duan Yunfei inexplicably want to cry.
"But since this is the case, then wouldn't the punishment for Sixth Princess's imprisonment be for nothing?" Duan Yunfei hesitated and couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted. She actually wanted to open her mouth and plead for Duan Yingluo.
The emperor roughly understood her meaning, and before she could finish speaking, Yuwen Di had already waved her hand. Little Thirteen, she has always been harsh to you, why must you plead on her behalf? In addition, the Empress had personally pushed her daughter into the abyss. Therefore, she was not punished for nothing. I have thought about the relationship between father and daughter, and I have not severely punished her, so you can no longer plead on her behalf. "
Hearing Yuwen Di's words, Duan Yunfei did not know what to say, and could only nod her head indifferently.
"When the empress did such a thing, Zhen had already warned her. He hoped that she'd be able to find her way back and stop acting so recklessly." Yuwen Di frowned and continued to speak to Duan Yunfei. "From today onwards, you no longer have to pay respects to the empress in the palace. You should avoid her as much as possible and avoid her when she leaves, right?"
Duan Yunfei wanted to continue speaking, but just as she raised her head, she saw that Yuwen Di had added a few strands of white hair to his temples. In the past few days, Yuwen Di had been worrying about Duan Yunfei's matter, and her entire body had aged a bit.
Duan Yunfei opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say what she was thinking.
"What's wrong?" Yuwen Di seemed to have noticed Duan Yunfei's abnormality and asked her.
Duan Yunfei shook her head, and forcefully swallowed down the words she wanted to say. She came over and pulled Yuwen Di's sleeves, then said to Yuwen Di as if she was acting spoiled: "It's nothing, it's just that royal father has been working hard these past few days, my daughter really feels a bit pained."
Yuwen Di laughed indifferently, and said "good" to Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei accompanied Yuwen Di and chatted for a while, before they left the emperor's chambers.
"Xiao Yang." As Duan Yunfei was walking outside, she suddenly called out to Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang guessed that Duan Yunfei must have something to say to him, so she replied softly and listened to what Duan Yunfei had to say.
"Xiao Yang, do you think that I have gone overboard this time?" Duan Yunfei hesitated, but her heart actually started to beat like a retreat drum.
"Princess, why do you say that?" Xiao Yang didn't know what Duan Yunfei really wanted to say, so she could only lower her voice and ask.
"I acted recklessly and willfully. As a result, the Sixth Princess was imprisoned in the Palace and could never come out. Mu Chuyang had been worrying and worrying with me all day, and it was unknown how much mental and physical effort he used to ensure my safety. I can't bring down the people who really hurt me, but I can always let so many people suffer innocently with me. " As Duan Yunfei spoke, she couldn't help but frown.
"Princess, you're overthinking it." Xiao Yang did not expect Duan Yunfei to say something like that, and immediately went to comfort him. " "Those people are asking for it. Why do you have to do this?"
The two of them chatted as they walked out of the palace.
