Chapter 462: Give Up Revenge
What Hu Xiner just said was all carefully considered, and of course she would not regret it.
But she was worried that the emperor would be so angry that he would die.
Fortunately, the imperial physician had just bandaged the wound and was still on standby outside.
The eldest princess shouted a few words anxiously, and the imperial physician rushed in.
Seeing the emperor's condition getting better little by little, Hu Xin'er felt surprisingly calm.
She was ready for what kind of storm was coming.
The eldest princess's mind was almost a mess.
On the night she was kidnapped by the prince, she was so traumatized that she selectively forgot unimportant things, such as Hu Xiner's true identity.
Therefore, she was hit harder than anyone else today.
She didn't know why Xin'er suddenly became her sister, and why she was unwilling to agree to her father's request.
I don't even know why the three people who were originally so happy had developed to this point in just a few words.
This was supposed to be a great situation for father and daughter to be reunited, wasn't it? But why did Xin'er break up with her parents?
The palace maids didn't even dare to breathe, and the imperial physicians were very careful when treating patients. The palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After an unknown amount of time, the emperor asked wearily, "Do you really want to sever ties with me?"
Hu Xin'er said without hesitation: "Of course!"
After the relationship was severed, whether the emperor wanted to live with his little lover Liu Se or do something else, it had nothing to do with her.
The eldest princess watched her father take out the pen, her face pale: "Father, what are you doing?"
She stretched out her hand to stop the emperor from writing.
But the emperor said: "Yue'er!"
There was a warning in his voice.
At the same time, his signature on the deed had already been written.
Hu Xin'er didn't expect his movements to be so quick and decisive. The moment she took the deed, she felt confused but also relieved.
Although she angered the emperor, at least she did not end up in the worst possible situation.
She bowed to the emperor and walked out.
The eldest princess stared at all this in a daze, her brain still unable to react.
When she reached the door, Hu Xiner suddenly heard a sigh behind her.
The emperor said silently: "Xin'er, your mother loves you..."
Hu Xiner sneered. How could someone who truly loved her want to kill her?
If this can be considered a kind of love, then Hu Xiner is willing to use this kind of love to severely attack the prince.
She stepped over the threshold. Outside, autumn was in full swing. The black chrysanthemums in front of the steps were blooming particularly warmly and freely in the late autumn.
The emperor suddenly called out, "Xin'er!"
Hu Xiner finally couldn't help but looked back in confusion.
In fact, she didn't understand why the emperor agreed so readily, but now kept asking her to fight back.
The emperor's expression was complicated, but despite having just experienced a fierce quarrel, his eyes were still full of concern and love.
She suddenly understood something.
True love is unconditional. The emperor agreed so decisively not because he really gave up on her, but because he saw through her unwillingness to be bound by constraints and made a compromise to avoid a complete break.
Hu Xiner clenched her fists silently. In fact, in the argument just now, she seemed to have a good reason and was in the upper hand, but she said something wrong.
The emperor was not really high above everyone else, looking down on everyone.
At times, he is like a stubborn old father who has good intentions but cannot communicate and insists on pretending to be tough.
Hu Xin'er didn't want to look anymore. She said thank you silently, turned around and walked out quickly.
On the other side, Jiang Yao and Mu Qing were the only ones left in front of Lu's mother's bed.
Mu Qing looked at his mother lying on the bed, his eyes filled with heartache and guilt.
Jiang Yao asked softly, "What did you and Xin'er say to the dog emperor in the Yangxin Palace just now?"
Mu Qing knew that she hated the emperor, but after pondering for a while, he finally told the emperor everything he had said to him: "I told the emperor that I don't hate him."
Jiang Yao's eyes turned cold: "What do you mean?"
Mu Qing explained, "Don't be angry, Auntie. His Majesty really hasn't done anything wrong. And the fact that he gave such precious medicinal herbs to the Lu family shows that he truly repents."
"Oh, isn't that what he should do?" Jiang Yao said with disdain, "A few small herbs and you're bribed?"
Mu Qing sighed, "When will this cycle of revenge end? Auntie, do you know that Snow Lotus and Wu Xiang Flower are extremely rare even in the palace? His Majesty himself was seriously injured and in urgent need of medical treatment, yet he gave us his only herb."
Jiang Yao's gaze wavered for a moment. She certainly knew how precious and valuable the medicinal herbs were, but she was blinded by hatred and subconsciously ignored them.
Silence spread throughout the room. After a brief moment of emotion, she examined Mu Qing, her eyes becoming cold and indifferent. "This little favor is nothing compared to the suffering my Lu family has endured. You keep saying you want to separate his fault from Liu Se, but if he and Liu Se rekindle their old love, how can we separate them?"
Mu Qing sensed a hint of compromise in her words and after a moment's thought, he replied, "I simply think there's no need to rush into action against the emperor, but we should still be wary of him. If the emperor sincerely repents, we can simply not pursue the matter further. If he's in cahoots with Liu Se, we'll find another solution."
"In the final analysis, you're simply afraid of the Emperor's power," Jiang Yao said calmly, but a hint of sarcasm lingered in her eyes. "You simply feel that opposing the Emperor is too dangerous, so you don't dare!"
Facing her ridicule, Mu Qing said without a trace of anger: "Yes, I do think it is too dangerous to go against him."
Jiang Yao opened her beautiful eyes slightly. She had always been sharp-tongued and what she said just now was just an angry remark, but she had never expected Mu Qing to admit that he was afraid of the emperor.
Mu Qing's voice was gentle, yet it carried a force that struck the soul. "Aunt, we are now a reunited family. If we go against the Emperor, we will surely be hunted down again. What will happen to Mother then? What will happen to Xin'er then?"
Anger gradually built up in Jiang Yao's eyes. "Does the harm Yun Jue and the others suffered mean nothing? Are you going to give up revenge just for the sake of a peaceful life?"
"I will never let Liu Se and the Crown Prince go," Mu Qing said, raising his voice. "But we can first cooperate with the Emperor, or we can leave each other alone. We can't put ourselves in a desperate situation because of past hatred."
What he meant was that he should first use his main strength to deal with Liu Se and the prince.
But Jiang Yao couldn't stand hearing such words. She felt that Mu Qing was simply a coward.
She drew the soft sword from her waist and said hatefully, "Okay, you're afraid of death, then I'll go kill this dog emperor!"
