Chapter 340 - Onlookers

"Alright, alright, can't I massage it for you?" Seeing Chen Ye's wronged expression, I couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Reaching out my hand, I rubbed Chen Ye's shoulder and spoke to him. I know I didn't use too much strength. Chen Ye was pretending, but... He still couldn't bear it.

Inwardly, he couldn't help but silently sigh. Chen Ye was truly a waste of her talent to not be a part of the acting class.

"Enough …" What exactly do you want us to see by letting us in? " Just at this moment, the little girl who had been silent all this time suddenly opened her mouth and signaled us not to think about those useless things anymore. It is more important to hurry up and say that it's more important. At the very least, he had to tell him what he wanted to do by putting him in the portrait. He couldn't possibly be here for a vacation, right?

After hearing what the little girl said, Chen Ye turned his head to look at the little girl, and then — shifted his attention back to Chu Yu. He nodded his head, indicating that he himself also wanted to know. Other than the fact that the people inside couldn't see him, it seemed like … There were no other clues.

"Let's go …" I'll take you guys to a place. Based on the time, it should be about right. " After reaching his hand out to calculate the time, Chu Yu said this to Chen Ye and the little girl. After that, he walked towards the door first and signaled the three of us to quickly follow him.

Chen Ye, the little girl and I looked at each other. Although we were confused, but... But she still obediently followed behind Chu Yu.

"Here …" After arriving at a certain place, I could clearly see that the expression of the little girl had started to change. Her entire body couldn't help but tremble, and her mouth opened slightly as she said those two words, but she didn't say the rest of her words. I curiously looked at the little girl as if she was a little girl.

However … Although I was curious, I didn't ask her about it. The little girl was currently in an emotional state, so of course, I wouldn't ask her about it at such a critical moment.

"This girl was born with an abnormal sign. She is obviously an evil person and cannot be allowed to live." In the imperial court, the emperor was sitting high up on a dragon throne, while the officials below were kneeling on the floor to recommend the emperor. Although this girl was a princess, but … The day she was born, it had rained heavily over several cities. It was obvious that she wasn't a kind person. If this little girl were to remain in the human world, it would bring a great disaster to the country, so … Everyone unanimously decided that this girl could not be allowed to live. It would be best if a little girl from Jiang and Zhe provinces was executed. As long as she died, the country could develop and survive longer.

After hearing the Minister's words. The emperor lowered his head, not saying a word. His face was filled with grief, even though … His daughter was born with such a calamity, but … No matter what, she was still his daughter. If she bled the same blood as him and wanted him to execute his daughter, how could he bear it? Even if the tiger was venomous and did not eat the tiger, his blood was thicker than water. He really could not bear to do so, but … On one side was his subjects, on the other was the country, and on the other was his daughter. Right now, the emperor was also very conflicted. He didn't know how he should choose. Official Yu should choose his subjects and country, but privately, he wanted to choose his daughter as well.

"Your majesty, this subject and others humbly request that the general situation be of the utmost importance to Your Majesty." Seeing the emperor sitting on the throne without saying a word, all the ministers kneeled down in unison.

"We can discuss this later." When they saw the court officials kneeling on the floor in unison. The emperor was at a loss for a long time. In the end, he said these words to the Minister.

"Everyone advised me to kill my own daughter. However … How could I bear it? It was my daughter, after all, but — For the life of her country and so many of her people. I really don't have a choice. " After the officials dispersed, the emperor sat on the dragon throne and withdrew all the money he had. When no one was around, a tear dropped. He slowly slid down along the emperor's face. Unless he was of a higher position, he had experienced the difficulty of his position this time.

Having too much power also meant that he couldn't do anything according to his own will. One had to care about the lives of others as well. Sometimes, your choice is not to follow your heart, but to consider the overall situation.

"That's our child. How could you do that?" The empress threw herself in front of the emperor, tears streaming down her face.

It was a child that he had painstakingly given birth to in October. Why would he burn his own child alive for the sake of someone else?

"Do you think I can? I really don't have any other way. As long as there is even a tiny bit of hope, I won't be able to order my daughter to be burned alive. She's your daughter, isn't she mine? " He looked at the empress's sorrowful expression. The emperor's face was covered in tears as well.

She said she was cruel. He was right, but... would he not feel any heartache at all?

It was like watching a movie. Chu Yu, the little girl and I watched everything from the perspective of a spectator. We wait until the image changes, then we return to reality.

When I looked at Chen Ye and the little girl, I noticed that both Chen Ye and the little girl had complex expressions. I opened my mouth and was about to say something, but … However, he was pulled back a few steps by Chu Yu.

"Let's stand at the side for now and not disturb the two of them. There are some things that the two of them need to digest by themselves." After seeing my doubtful gaze, Chu Yu came close to my ear and whispered into my ear.

After hearing what Chu Yu had to say, I nodded towards him, and then … He stood at the side, staring at Chen Ye and the little girl without saying a word.

Although — I watched everything from the point of view of a bystander, but … However, my heart is still heavy, because — what I saw in that story wasn't only the story of Chen Ye and the little girl, but also involved me and Chu Yu.

Up until the moment I came out, I still didn't know what kind of mood I was in when I finished reading everything. Anyway, I always felt depressed in my heart, so heavy that I almost couldn't breathe.
