Chapter 330 How do you know I'm unhappy? I haven't said anything yet!
After the emperor finished speaking, he waited for Yu Youning's answer.
But after waiting for a long time, Yu Youning didn't speak.
Instead, the look in Yu Youning's eyes became a little strange.
Being stared at by Yu Youning with such eyes, the emperor felt strange in his heart, "Youning, why are you staring at me like that?"
"Your Majesty, although I am a little young, I am not stupid. I am a little confused, but you can speak directly. I can understand.
You just wanted to ask me how to get the poisonous insects out of those two concubines' bodies, right?"
The emperor looked somewhat uncomfortable when Yu Youning asked him this question in public.
But since Yu Youning asked this, he couldn't lie again.
"I am doing this for the greater good," the emperor defended.
Yu Youning continued to stare at the emperor. "Why did the fight between you and Prince Cheng cost two innocent women their lives?"
The emperor wanted to say that it was because the two women were Prince Cheng’s concubines.
If only these two were to die, King Cheng could be eliminated, and the deaths of many people could be avoided.
It is obvious that he only needs to say these words, and both Prime Minister Wen and Chu Huaixu will definitely understand his approach.
But when he looked into Yu Youning's eyes, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them no matter what.
Yu Youning snorted, "You men who fight for power and profit always claim that you are doing it for the greater good, for the majority of the people. Should a small number of people die for this?"
Did they lose their lives simply because they were outnumbered?
No matter what you think or say, I won’t help you. I’m going home!”
After Yu Youning finished his last sentence, he turned around and walked out.
The door opened and closed again, and there was one less person in the room.
Chu Huaixu was the first to react and quickly knelt down, "Father, Youning is not dissatisfied with you, she is just young and kind..."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Xu'er, get up!"
Although the emperor was questioned by Yu Youning in public, he was really shocked and angry.
But now that he has calmed down, the emperor is not so angry anymore.
On the contrary, he was even somewhat relieved that Yu Youning could say such words and have such thoughts.
This is what it means to truly love your people as your own children and love everyone equally!
Compared with Yu Youning, many times, he didn't do well enough!
"Xu'er, there is still time. You should think about how to best handle this matter." The emperor said again.
Chu Huaixu quickly responded, "Yes! I will definitely think about it carefully!"
"Alright!" The emperor waved his hand. "Don't stand here anymore. Leave. I want to talk to Prime Minister Wen."
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu and the other two did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately bowed and left.
After they had all left, the emperor looked at Prime Minister Wen and said, "Lord Wen, what do you think of what just happened?"
Prime Minister Wen smiled and said, "I can only...see with my eyes!"
“…”
The emperor was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"At this moment, only you dare to joke with me like this!"
Seeing the emperor smile, Prime Minister Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued smiling, "That's because Your Majesty is a wise ruler. He would never get angry over such a thing. Facing such a wise ruler, I naturally don't feel nervous or afraid."
Prime Minister Wen spoke with righteous words.
But in fact, it's all flattery.
The flattery was very skillful. The emperor felt even happier after hearing it, and even forgot the slight unhappiness he had felt before.
On the other side, Chu Huaixu followed him downstairs, but he could no longer see Yu Youning.
Huo Qingchen was also very anxious, "Your Highness, let's go to the Wen Mansion and take a look!"
"good!"
Chu Huaixu agreed, and the three of them got on the carriage and headed towards the Wen Mansion.
But when they arrived at the Wen Mansion, they did not see Yu Youning.
After asking the housekeeper, I found out that Yu Youning had not come back at all.
"She's not coming back?" Huo Qingchen was extremely puzzled. "But didn't Youning just say she was coming back? If she hadn't come back, where would she have gone?"
Wen Xiangli was simply worried about Yu Youning's safety. "Will Youning be in danger if she runs around alone?"
Huo Qingchen looked at Wen Xiangli with an indescribable expression, "Even if Youning really met someone, it would be that person who is in danger. How could Youning be in danger?"
No one knows Yu Youning's strength better than him.
After all, every time they sparred, he was the one who was beaten up by Yu Youning.
Wen Xiangli thought about it and said, "But if Youning doesn't go home, where could he go? Could he go to the school?"
Chu Huaixu was also unsure, "Let's go over and take a look first!"
The three of them got on the carriage again and headed towards the school.
After the three of them left, Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan walked out from the shadows.
"We know where Youning went, but we don't tell them. Wouldn't that be bad?"
Wen Shiyan said this, but with a smile on his face, he didn't feel bad at all.
This is clearly a case of saying one thing and thinking another.
"We're not deliberately keeping it secret," Yu Tingwan said seriously. "We haven't run into them yet, have we? If we had, we would definitely have told them!"
As the couple spoke, they looked at each other and laughed silently.
Although Yu Youning, Chu Huaixu and the other two have a good relationship, it is obvious that Yu Youning does not want to see them now. As parents, they must help their daughter.
...
In the carriage, Chu Huaixu frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
After a long while, Chu Huaixu finally realized what was wrong!
If Yu Youning really disappeared, the people in the Wen Mansion would definitely be the most worried.
But just now, not only the servant who saw him, but also the old housekeeper, all said that they didn't know where Yu Youning was, but they didn't show any worry or panic at all.
Even Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan did not show up.
Therefore, the Wen family was not unaware of Yu Youning's location, but they just didn't want to see them for the time being, so they deliberately didn't tell them.
Then they would definitely not be able to find it if they went to the medical school.
After realizing this, Chu Huaixu felt a little disappointed.
He couldn't blame his father, nor could he blame Yu Youning.
He only blamed himself for not being able to come up with a good solution, which led to the disagreement between his father and Youning.
Huo Qingchen had been discussing with Wen Xiangli what to say when he met Yu Youning later.
The two of them talked for a while before noticing that Chu Huaixu had been keeping his head down, not saying a word, and had no idea what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Huo Qingchen looked at Chu Huaixu.
Chu Huaixu raised his head and did not answer Huo Qingchen. Instead, he instructed Liuyun, who was driving the carriage, "No need to go to the academy. Turn around and go back to the teahouse."
Liuyun did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately changed direction.
Huo Qingchen looked at Chu Huaixu with a puzzled expression, "Your Highness, why do you want to go back so suddenly? Aren't we going to look for Youning?"
"Youning is not in the medical school." Chu Huaixu said, "Besides, Youning doesn't need our comfort right now."
"So what does she need?"
Wen Xiangli pursed his lips and said, "She needs this matter to be resolved perfectly."
-
After Yu Youning left the teahouse, he didn't know where to go.
After much thought, I decided to go find Nian Yi.
Nian Yi hasn't stayed at the Royal Inn recently.
He said that the Royal Post Station was too busy every day and it was impossible for him to practice meditation, so he moved to Huangjue Temple.
Outside the city, Huangjue Temple.
Huangjue Temple is on the mountain, with beautiful scenery.
Coming here, without the hustle and bustle of the capital, people's hearts become quiet.
The closer you get to Huangjue Temple, the stronger the smell of sandalwood in the air.
Smelling this scent, Yu Youning's mood also improved a lot.
She knew that during the day, Nian Yi would chant sutras on the back mountain of Huangjue Temple.
The back mountain is quite steep, but a simple pavilion is built on the steep mountain.
There are stone tables and chairs in the pavilion, and a chessboard is carved on the table.
When Yu Youning came, Nian Yi was playing chess with himself.
He sat there quietly in his yellow monk's robe.
The sunlight shone obliquely into the pavilion, shining on his body and his bald head.
Nian Yi is very handsome, especially the red mole between his eyebrows, which makes him look compassionate.
Even if he didn't recite a single Buddhist scripture, just sitting there could make people feel at peace.
Yu Youning walked over and sat down opposite Nian Yi.
Nian Yi didn't look up or ask anything, and continued to place the chess pieces one by one.
Yu Youning didn't say anything either. He held his chin with both hands and watched Nian Yi placing the chess pieces.
After an unknown amount of time, Nian Yi finally raised his head and asked, "Why is You Ning unhappy?"
"How do you know I'm unhappy?" Yu Youning looked at Nian Yi in surprise, "I haven't said anything yet!"
Nian Yi smiled faintly, "If you were happy, you would definitely be talking and laughing, eating and drinking, going to free clinics, and teaching. You wouldn't just sit here and watch me play chess quietly."
Hearing Nian Yi say this, Yu Youning felt a little embarrassed and her little face turned red.
Although she couldn't see her own expression, she could feel the heat on her cheeks.
"When you put it that way, it seems like I only come to you when I'm unhappy. Why am I like that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Nian Yi's voice remained gentle. "I don't care about food, and I don't like running around. I can't always be with Youning. When Youning is unhappy, she comes to me, and I feel like I've been of some use."
Hearing Nian Yi say this, Yu Youning's expression was somewhat puzzled.
What's the use of this?
But looking at Nian Yi's expression, I knew that he was serious about what he said and he wasn't unhappy at all, so I stopped worrying about it.
My mother once said that in this world, everyone has different desires. You may not understand, but you must learn to respect.
