Chapter 1731: Crown Princess Ye Yao

Translator: Lonelytree

In the suburbs of the capital, the middle-aged man was still looking at the picture on the wall. Then, he asked indifferently,” Do you still remember your sister?”

The woman, who was very respectful to the man, trembled when she heard the word ” sister.” Then, she answered guiltily,” I remember!”

“Is that so?” The middle-aged man turned around with anger on his face. He questioned sternly,” Since you remember your sister, why did you watch her being framed and let that witch hurt your sister? Ah!”

If Lin Yuelan had been here, she would have discovered that this middle-aged man was Governor Zhou of Qingfeng City, Zhou Anping.

And the woman standing in front of him was none other than Crown Princess Ye Yao.

Ye Yao defended himself with difficulty,” At that time, your daughter...Your daughter wanted to save my younger sister, but, but the Crown Prince sent someone to stop me. I...”

” So,” Zhou Anping said loudly,” you just watched your sisters tongue be pulled out, her hands cut off, and then locked in that dark, damp prison that was crawling with insects and ants, living a painful life that was worse than death? Ah! How can you be so cruel?”

Ye Yao heard what Zhou Anping said and was so frightened that her face turned pale. Tears fell like rain, and her face was filled with pain. She shook her head and kept saying,” It’s not like this, it’s not like this...”

However, Zhou Anping continued,” You’re taking revenge, aren’t you? You’re taking revenge on your father for throwing you into the Ye Residence since you were young and only doting on your sister, right? That’s why you can watch your sister get hurt and remain indifferent, right?”

The Crown Princess shook her head and explained,” Father, it’s not like that. At that time, I wanted to save my sister, but the Crown Prince came and told me to return to the Crown Prince’s residence. Otherwise, the Crown Prince’s residence would not have me, Ye Yao, as the Crown Princess. At that time, I thought of the mission that Father gave me, so...”

At this point, she paused for a moment. Her eyes were filled with hope as she looked at Zhou Anping. However, when she saw the cold expression on his face, the Crown Princess ‘eyes instantly darkened, and her entire heart turned cold.

She mocked herself in her heart.

She did not grow up by his side. From the beginning to the end, the only person he cared about was his younger daughter, Zhou Shishi. As for his older daughter, Zhou Shihua, no matter how much she sacrificed, he turned a blind eye to her.

The Crown Princess continued,” In order to complete Father’s mission, I can only choose to sacrifice my sister!”

At this point, she looked at Zhou Anping and met his eyes. She said coldly,” Because Father once instructed me that no matter what happens, I must prioritize the mission. Did Father forget about my mission to marry into the Crown Prince’s residence?”

When Zhou Anping heard this, he pointed angrily at Ye Yao, but he did not know how to reprimand her.

Because he had indeed said those words.

However, this did not include sacrificing his most beloved daughter.

Zhou Anping looked at his eldest daughter, who was very respectful to him, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. However, the Crown Princess Consort, who had her head slightly lowered, did not see it.

A moment later, Zhou Anping sighed and said,” You can’t be blamed for this! Back then, you had no choice!”

Just as her thoughts were wandering, Zhou Anpings voice sounded.

He said viciously,” Lin Yuelan ruined my daughter. What right does she have to ruin my daughter? He was merely relying on the Emperor’s favour. As for Li Fazhi, how could he treat Shishi like that and be safe and sound? Isn’t it because of his connection with Lin Yuelan? Therefore, if I want to take revenge, of course, I will have to target the source.”

When the Crown Princess heard this, her pupils constricted violently. Her expression was filled with shock and fear. She asked anxiously,” Father, do you want to...” Kill the Emperor?

After all, the source he was talking about was the current Emperor.

Cutting off the source was to destroy Lin Yuelan and Li Fazhi’s reliance.

Therefore, what made her feel terrified and uneasy was whether his father was really planning to rebel.

But thinking about it, this was expected, wasn’t it?

For his ambition, his father had planned from 20 years ago. He had even sacrificed his eldest daughter, Zhou Shihua, to make her a real chess piece.

However, it was already too late by the time the Crown Princess understood.

Because she had already stepped onto this ship. It was simply impossible for her to escape.

Ye Yao suddenly felt sad and pitiful for himself.

However, she could not blame anyone. She could only blame herself for being too naive.

Hearing Ye Yao’s loud shout, Zhou Anpings sharp eyes shot straight at Ye Yao. His eyes were filled with warning, and he looked cold and ruthless.

He said ruthlessly,” If you don’t do this, how are you going to avenge your poor sister? Who asked Yuwen Longyan to become Lin Yuelan’s backer?” When Ye Yao heard this, her heart turned cold.

It was clearly Zhou Anpings own ambition and desire that made him do such a treasonous thing. Otherwise, how could there be the matter of swapping his daughter, who was still in infancy, with the Eldest Miss of the Ye family twenty years ago?

What was the purpose? Wasn’t it to make her the Crown Princess and make her the future Empress?

In the future, after the truth was revealed, he could bite back at the Ye family and become the emperor’s father-in-law, or even...

But now, her respected father actually used his dead sister Zhou Shishi as an excuse to play tricks.

Was this the father who claimed to dote on his daughter?

Ye Yao did not know anymore.

Even if she knew, she was willing to be this muddle-headed mute and pretend that she didn’t know anything.

This way, she could console herself that she was merely being controlled. Ye Yao took a deep breath and said,” Then Father, what do you want me to
