Along the way, Fang Yizhou didn't say a word, as if the eldest princess didn't exist.

The eldest princess felt uncomfortable.

The gap was obvious, reminding her of how Fang Yizhou spoke up to defend Ruyi when they were in Zuixinlou.

At that time, his eyes were firm and clear, and clearly showed feelings and emotions.

But at this moment, he was like a wooden man.

The princess glanced around the capital and suddenly felt as if she was isolated from the prosperity of the capital and not the person in Huarong Palace.

For so many years, she was the only one who was proud of her status and regarded herself as the unattainable eldest princess of the dynasty.

This identity is an empty shell.

She didn't listen to her father, so naturally he paid less and less attention to her.

She has no mother and no one to rely on.

The Cao Gang in the south is too far away and can't be of any help at all.

No one really takes her seriously.

The biting cold wind blew, causing pain on the eldest princess' face, and something seemed to gradually become clear.

She suddenly asked Fang Yizhou, "Master Fang, am I... annoying?"

Fang Yizhou was stunned and turned to look at the eldest princess in surprise.

For a moment, I didn't know what she meant.

After all, the eldest princess is just a vase. For so many years, people have tried not to provoke her, but no one would try to figure out her moods.

Because of her arrogance, there is a huge gap between her and everyone else.

Even the master was beaten.

Who would want to get into trouble with such a person?

"What does the Princess mean?"

Fang Yizhou answered cautiously. Although he didn't take the man seriously, he didn't want to cause trouble.

The eldest princess felt bitter.

Fang Yizhou looked at her as if he was looking at a beast in muddy water.

There is also disgust and alienation.

She choked up a little, and although it was difficult, she still asked, "Over the years, I have been domineering and arrogant, and my eyes are too high. Am I particularly annoying in the eyes of Lord Fang?"

Fang Yizhou: “…”

This is not a easy question to answer.

Of course she was particularly annoying.

However, if you really say this, it will be a trouble.

Finally, Fang Yizhou glanced at her and said, "I don't understand what the princess means, but I have something important to do today, so please let me go."

The eldest princess: “…”

Needless to say, the implication of Fang Yizhou's words is: Don't mess around, I don't have time to mess around with you.

The deeper meaning is to directly admit that she is annoying.

Just because I don't want to cause trouble, I don't want to speak up.

But he was unwilling to say even a single nice word to comfort her.

The eldest princess lowered her eyes and tightened her cloak. One can imagine how much Prince Yan hated her.

The identity of the eldest princess will not make anyone surrender as the Queen Mother said.

Over the years, Prince Yan has never treated her well.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the Xiao family’s gate.

Fang Yizhou turned over and rushed directly into the gate to find the emperor.

Ruyi saw him come in and already had an idea in her mind.

Sure enough, the next moment, Fang Yizhou knelt on one knee, "Reporting to the Emperor, the person has been arrested!"

He thought of Rong Yan's arrangement, and then said, "Also, we met the Second Prince on West Street."

"He was in disguise and ran away when he saw us."

The guests have not yet dispersed.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

They looked at each other and asked, "What's going on? Who did Lord Fang arrest? Why is the Second Prince involved?"

"No, isn't the Second Prince at the Gu family cemetery? How come he is in West Street, disguised, and bumped into by Lord Fang?"

However, soon, everyone's faces became heavy.

The prince had just been assassinated, and the capital was under martial law in order to catch the murderer, so it was obvious who Fang Yizhou was going to catch.

At this time, the Second Prince, who was originally in mourning, returned to the capital in disguise, which became intriguing!

Look at the emperor again.

The emperor's eyes were filled with a deepness, like a bottomless cold pond. He only said one word, "Catch!"

Ruyi is the most sensitive.

She had been observing people's expressions for many years, and now sitting next to the emperor, she could clearly feel the heavy pain in the emperor's tone.

The princes were fighting, and he was the father.

The Second Prince was wrongly accused in the assassination of the Crown Prince, but he was not wronged in other aspects.

Now, there is no need to worry about what crime he committed.

It's a death sentence either way.

Once the truth is revealed, the death will be even more miserable.

For the emperor, it was like being stabbed several times in succession, but he could not say anything and could only bear it himself.

He who wears the crown must bear its weight.

This weight...

Ruyi felt a different look and felt a little heavy-hearted.

Fang Yizhou is gone.

The guests had complicated and obscure looks in their eyes.

The feeling of impending storm weighs on everyone's mind, and no one knows whose house will be affected next by the earthquake in the capital.

Someone asked quietly, "The Shen family was originally on the side of the Second Prince. Now that the Second Prince has been arrested, the Shen family and the Gu family..."

What will happen?

In an instant, many people's eyes fell on Ruyi's face——

Ruyi was previously the daughter of the Shen family and the daughter-in-law of the Gu family.

If she did not leave the Shen family and the Gu family in the short term, she would inevitably be implicated if anything happened to the Second Prince and his party.

But she had only been away from the Shen family for the last three to five days.

The time difference is so clever.

A brush with bad luck.

For a moment, everyone couldn't figure out whether she was lucky or had good fortune, or if there was a hand behind the scenes manipulating everything and allowing her to rise so quickly.

Ruyi also felt the gazes of others.

But she didn't react too much. When she left the Shen family, she played a game of chess by herself.

But later, her chess game invisibly merged with Rong Yan's chess game and the emperor's chess game, and they were accomplished together.

Her little chess piece has now become the center of turmoil in the court. It seems that many things are related to her and even revolve around her.

She suddenly understood -

She was also on the emperor's chessboard, the battle flag on his chessboard.

So, she swaggers.

Therefore, the storm was caused by her.

The emperor seemed to sense her change and whispered, "The world is a chessboard. Today you are on the chessboard. Don't just focus on the other pieces around you. Look at the overall situation and learn to be the chess player."

"Only then will you be worthy of your position."

Ruyi came back to her senses and nodded, her admiration for him increased a little, "Ruyi will remember the emperor's teachings."

The emperor nodded.

He has a legacy that he wants to pass on to Rong Yan and Ruyi to complete.

Therefore, no reservations.

Through a door, he looked out at the winter scene, thinking of old age and death.

Everyone is mortal.

He does not desire immortality.

Life comes from death, and death comes from life, and this is the endless cycle of life.

Suddenly, the eldest princess rushed in.

"My daughter pays respects to the Emperor, the Imperial Concubine."

She entered the house and knelt on her knees. Her extremely complicated emotions brought out hot tears which fell to the ground. She did not dare to look up.

She felt sad.

The person sitting next to the emperor was Ruyi, not her.

She originally had a chance.

"Father, I am wrong."

She ignored the strange looks from the others around her and said in a trembling voice, "Father, please give your daughter a chance and start all over again."

The emperor's heart trembled slightly. He looked at his eldest daughter in front of him and said in a hoarse voice, "It's never too late."

"Get up."

When the eldest princess heard this, there was a little person in her heart, and at this moment she burst into tears!
