C298 Lies

"Qin Yu, you can tell us what you have to say now. This is the current Empress, she will help you turn the tables on her." Murong Zhi pointed to Feng Yu at the side.

"Qin Yu greets the Empress." Qin Yu could tell that it was the daughter of a rich family.

"No need to be so polite, let's go in and slowly talk." Feng Yu helped Qin Yu up. When Feng Yu first saw this woman, she already felt that she was a standard beauty. Presumably, it was because she was too beautiful that others were jealous of her. Of course, she still had to listen to what Qin Yu had to say.

"I was originally the Third Miss of Qin Xiang's estate, but because the Grand Emperor chose a wife for the Emperor, and our family only has one daughter, Daddy endured the pain of sending me to the palace. At first, I was in the western courtyard with the other maidens, but then the maidservant who was with me was found dead by the mama after she missed her lover and ran away. I have lived alone since then, but I have always had nightmares about the girl who came to me and begged me to take her away. My body became thinner and thinner day by day until one day a pretty girl came to take care of me. She told me that as long as I burned paper for the dead pretty girl in the palace, I would be able to send away her resentment. After hearing her words, I was grabbed by the mama and locked up. Afterwards, my father came to see me a few times, but due to my grandmother's majesty, I didn't tell my father about what happened in the palace. I clearly remembered the last time my father came to see me, his eyes were filled with tears. Father just handed me a letter and told me to open it in three days. Second year, something happened to my father. He was charged with colluding with an enemy. Although I was sad, I still followed my father's instructions and only opened the letter three days later. Father told me to come to this cold palace to protect myself. "Wait until the other day, when we are to avenge our family." At this point, Qin Yu's tears could no longer stop flowing down.

"So it's about the matter of General Qin Xiang. I've heard of it before." But we know of General Qin Xiang's character, and it's said that he took out a letter from General Qin Xiang to communicate with foreign enemies. " Speaking to this point, Murong Zhi did not know whether he should say what he had said or not.

"But, my father fought his entire life for the Xiao Kingdom. How could they collude with other countries? "If that's the case, why did he let me speak up for him?" Qin Yu said somewhat excitedly. Although she did not know what had happened in the past, Qin Yu trusted her father.

"Can you show me the letter General Qin wrote back then?" Feng Yu said.

Qin Yu passed the letter to Feng Yu. The letter did indeed mention Qin Yu having to redress the clan's grievances, but Feng Yu quickly discovered some clues. There was another layer at the bottom of the letter. Qin Yu's reaction at the time was also extremely shocked, to the point that she had not realized it all these years.

Feng Yu opened the other letter and found out the whole story.

In fact, General Qin was just muddle-headed enough to pass the Xiao Kingdom's information to the enemy nation, so when General Qin came to the palace for the last time and saw his daughter, he already knew that his accomplishments had been exposed and that he was about to leave this world forever. However, in order to let Qin Yu live, General Qin had told him such a lie. All for the sake of allowing Qin Yu to live well.

"How can this be? So it turns out that the only thing that has supported my life for so many years is a lie? " At this moment, Qin Yu's emotions were on the verge of collapse.

"Miss Qin Yu, if you want to be so pessimistic, even if it's a lie, it's a white lie that your father wants you to live through." Murong Zhi said seriously.

"All of them have already left this world. Why would I have to live on my own? You do not know that it is not difficult for you to die, but it is rare for you to live. " Qin Yu said with sorrow.

"All these years have passed and you have always lived within your responsibilities. I can imagine just how lonely you are in this cold palace. But Qin Yu, I hope that you can understand the painstaking effort your father has put in, and I hope that you will not disappoint the last bit of fatherly love your father has for you. " Feng Yu knew that this was a hard truth to accept, but the current situation was just too cruel.

Qin Yu sobbed for a long time, as Feng Yu and Murong Zhi accompanied her at all times.

"Please leave first. Qin Yu has already thought it through. Tomorrow, I will leave this palace and go outside to live an ordinary life. " Qin Yu more or less understood the meaning of Feng Yu's words. She was no longer living for the family, her father already wished for Qin Yu to live for him.

"It's great that you can figure it out. This is a farm outside my city, and there are no villagers with good conditions. I'm sure you'll like it. " With that, Murong Zhi handed over a land deed to Qin Yu. He had long since planned to wait for Qin Yu to leave the palace.

"Thank you." Qin Yu knew that Murong Zhi and Feng Yu were different from others. They were concerned about his matters as if they were their friends, and this was a favor he had never felt in the past few years he had come to the palace. Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Qin Yu was truly grateful to them.

After leaving the cold palace, Feng Yu and Murong Zhi had a lot more feelings about each other.

"I didn't expect General Qin to be so protective of his daughter." Since ancient times, most people praised motherly love. Feng Yu never thought that fatherly love was also this great.

"So now you must think highly of men. Besides protecting the border, you must also protect your family." So now you must think highly of men. After Murong Zhi finished, he left.

Looking at Murong Zhi's back figure, Feng Yu did not know what Murong Zhi's expression looked like when she said those words. However, Feng Yu could feel that these words were not wrong.

Feng Yu suddenly realized that she still had things to do, so she hurried to the Compendium Pavilion.

However, there were too many books in this Compendium Pavilion. How long would it take for him to find them?

"Empress, what sort of content do you want to find? I can help you find some." The one who spoke was the little errand boy from the Compendium Pavilion.

"This is for the best. I just want to find some books on the patterns of past generations. Because I don't like to read books, I just want to find some interesting patterns to pass the time." The reason why Feng Yu said this was because he didn't want anyone to ask about it in the future. His purpose was known by others.

"Alright, I'll look for one for you." The little errand boy seemed to already know where to find the book Feng Yu was talking about.

Feng Yu followed behind the little errand boy. The little errand boy was truly amazing. He actually managed to find the book he was talking about in just a few moments. Feng Yu flipped through the book and finally found the Qin design. Feng Yu then told the little errand boy that she wanted to look at the book boy alone for a while, and told him to leave. After the little errand boy left, Feng Yu took out the previously drawn pattern. Not long later, she found the exact same pattern. According to the book, it was the picture of the former Qin royal family.

Feng Yu was so shocked that the book in her hand fell to the ground.

"Am I really the princess of the previous Qin Dynasty? This sort of thing actually happened to me. " Feng Yu did not have the time to digest this fact, but even so, he would not harm Xuanyuan Zhan for the sake of the so called reversion. Thinking of this, Feng Yu felt that it was a mistake for him to personally verify this matter. This was because no matter who he was, he would not waver in his stance.

Feng Yu put away the slip of paper, placed the book on the ground back into the distance, and left the library.

Feng Yu thought about it. Since she had already decided on this matter, she did not mention it to Xuanyuan Zhan. Until one day, Feng Yuzi saw Lin Mu again in the palace. Although she had already exchanged the people in his own palace, Lin Mu was still in the palace, which meant that they hadn't given up on this matter. Feng Yu knew that their final goal was to kill Xuanyuan Zhan, but how could he, Xuanyuan Zhan's wife, allow them to do so?

Feng Yu knew where Lin Mu was working, so she found an opportunity to secretly sneak in to see Lin Mu.

"Greetings, Princess." Lin Mu respectfully called out upon seeing Feng Yu.

"Don't call me that, I did not recognize you as your princess. In the palace, I am only Xuanyuan Zhan's empress." The purpose of Feng Yu's words was to make Lin Mu express his position.

"Regardless of whether the princess admits it or not, you are the only princess of the previous Qin Dynasty, the indisputable fact." Lin Mu knew that saying this would cause Feng Yu to be unhappy, but as a member of the pre-Qin family, he had the responsibility and duty to remind Feng Yu of her identity.

"So what if it is? The previous Qin Dynasty was already destroyed. Now that the world is decided, why are you making the world fall into chaos again for a grudge? What about letting the people drift away? What was your original intention? Wasn't it because of the commoners that they could live and work in peace? But what were the consequences of starting a war? "Are you all doing this for your own personal gain?" Feng Yu didn't want to slander anyone like that, but what they did in front of her made her feel the same way.

"How can the princess say that? It is our duty to restore the former Qin people. How brutally did their Xiao family kill our previous Qin Dynasty's royal family and commoners? Is that all? " Lin Mu passionately said.

"Otherwise? "For hundreds of years, which dynasty didn't establish their own dynasty through slaughter? Even the previous Qin dynasty had killed their own dynasty. Now, how can they criticize others for treating themselves in the same way?" Feng Yu looked at Lin Mu. She knew that Lin Mu was different from the old man. He was still young, so he didn't have that much hatred towards him. Therefore, Feng Yu wanted to pull him up first, and didn't want to fall deeper and deeper into the quagmire of hatred.

"Princess …" Lin Mu didn't know how he should persuade the princess. Looking at Feng Yu's leaving figure, Lin Mu's heart was actually moved by Feng Yu's words. He did not understand his goal of restoring his country. Was this really resolved by constant killing? Then in the future, would the people of Xiao Kingdom repeat what they did today?

Lin Mu told the old man Feng Yu's attitude.

"Father, should we really not do this?" Lin Mu knew that he shouldn't have said these words, but his father truly was too stubborn.

The old man slapped Lin Mu's face.

"Bastard, you dare to say such outrageous words? How do you expect me to face the ancestors of the previous Qin Dynasty? " The old man said with a sorrowful expression.

"We didn't do anything shameful to the previous Qin, it's just that we were born at the wrong time. But are we really going to sacrifice our descendants for this matter?" Lin Mu angrily said.

"This is your life!" The old man's words no longer contained the love of a father, because on his shoulders was the task of a nation.

Lin Mu felt that there was no need to communicate with the old man anymore, so he turned around and left. But even if Lin Mu had his own thoughts, he wanted to live his own life. He would not leave the old man alone.

The old man was angry because of Feng Yu's attitude, but he didn't expect that his own son would also start to waver. Restoring a country was originally a difficult and lengthy matter, but how could he be tempted by the current situation? The old man was still unwilling to accept Feng Yu's decision, so he decided to personally go see her.

Similarly, through Elder Lin Mu, Lin Mu had seen Feng Yu. The reason why Lin Mu had helped the old man was because he was hoping for a bit of luck. What if Feng Yu could convince him to be hungry?
