However, the pain of losing the care of my parents in my childhood is probably something that can never be compensated no matter what I do.
When the emperor was a child, although he had the position of crown prince, he had no relatives in the huge harem. He was like a tiny duckweed, exposed to the wind and rain but without even a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Qiao Yuge could hear that Xiao Yuli seemed to feel aggrieved, thinking that at least the throne should be his, even if it was passed down. However, because the affair between Concubine Qiao and the Queen Mother was exposed, the throne that he had obtained disappeared.
But Qiao Yege knew clearly in her heart that if Concubine Qiao had not been attached to the Queen Mother, she might not have had the chance to have children. Then, wouldn't there be no Xiao Yuli?
Everything is destined, it's hard to explain this matter.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Yuge said to Xiao Yuli, "Cousin, thank you for thinking about me all these years, but I think everything I'm going through must be destined. If I can't hold on any longer and ask for help from you, cousin, I hope you won't think I'm a burden."
Qiao Yege didn't intend to die like this, and hoped to leave some wiggle room for himself.
Since Qiao Yege had said so, Xiao Yuli could only nod and say to Qiao Yege: "Girl, you have been so gentle since childhood, why are you so stubborn now? But your cousin will listen to you this time. If you can't hold on, come to your cousin."
Qiao Yege nodded, said goodbye to Xiao Yuli, and went to Taixing Palace.
Qiao Yuge walked a long way and saw a man jumping down from a big tree with dense leaves next to him. The man was wearing black clothes and was hidden among the mottled trees. He could not be seen at all without careful observation.
After he landed, he said respectfully, "Your Highness, I didn't expect Miss Qiao to be in the palace. Will the Emperor do anything bad to her?"
Xiao Yuli put away his gentle and earnest manner, and looked at the direction where Qiao Yuge left. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and even his tone was filled with a hint of icy disdain: "No, since Qiao Yuge insists on working for the emperor, let her do it."
"But will the Emperor treat her just because she is Concubine Qiao's niece..."
The secret guard asked with some concern.
Xiao Yuli's eyes turned even colder, and he said with a helpless smile: "Even though Qiao Yuge is my concubine's niece, she is my uncle's daughter. Because my uncle was brave and good at fighting back then, he won't do anything to Qiao Yuge."
The secret guard seemed still worried, but when he saw that Xiao Yuli was not concerned about this matter, he relaxed a lot.
Xiao Yuli leaned slightly to the side, leaned on the chair, put his hands together, and said to himself: "Since I, as her brother, have tried very hard to save her, but she won't save herself, there is nothing I can do. By the way, how is my aunt doing?"
The secret guard immediately said, "Second Aunt has informed the Queen Mother that she plans to send the young lady to the palace for the Emperor. I heard that she will arrive in the next two days... In addition, the head of the Queen Mother's family has also contacted Your Highness, saying that he hopes to have tea with Your Highness."
Xiao Yuli raised the corner of his mouth slightly, nodded, and said to the secret guard: "Okay, go tell Prince Yun that I will go and have a good tea with him."
After Qiao Yege left Xiao Yuli's yard, he went towards the rockery.
Returning to Taixing Palace, the rockery was the only way to go. Every time she walked here, she felt uncomfortable all over. The scene of the emperor diving into the water always appeared in front of her eyes, which made her very nervous. She just wanted to lower her head and quickly pass through this dangerous place.
But as luck would have it, when she turned around the rockery, she actually saw Shu Fei standing with a man.
The man was wearing a black robe. He was sturdy but not fat, with a well-proportioned figure. At first glance, he must have eight-pack abs.
Despite having such a good figure, this man has a very clean face and his hair is combed very neatly.
The difference between this man and the previous time he met Prince Liang was that he did not pretend to be so pretentious by holding a fan. Instead, he put his hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face, staring at Shu Fei in front of him.
Qiao Yuge was standing at the end of the path. She originally thought that seeing this kind of scene, she must hide, otherwise she would be in trouble.
But at the same time, she also felt that there was no need for her to hide, otherwise there might be even worse things happening after the conversation.
So she just stood there and looked at Shu Fei.
What Qiao Yuge didn't expect was that Shu Fei, who looked quite arrogant and carefree before, actually showed the shyness of a young girl when she saw this man. She lowered her head, blushed, and looked at the ground with her eyes. She looked as beautiful as a flower.
Qiao Yuge knew before that Shu Fei seemed to have another man in her heart. After all, when Shu Fei called Qiao Yuge over and wanted to teach her a lesson, she mentioned a name called "Wen Huan".
Even though Qiao Yuge was slow to react, she probably knew that Wen Huan must be the man in front of her.
Shu Fei's voice was not loud, and compared to her usual voice during the day, it seemed a little delicate and artificial at this moment.
"Master Wen, the last time you gave me a handkerchief, I accidentally lost it. Please take a look..."
It turns out that the last time Qiao Yege ruined the handkerchief, it was really quite important!
After hearing what Concubine Shu said, Master Wen Huan's expression changed. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I am really flattered that you call yourself 'I' in front of me. Besides, the last time I handed you a handkerchief was when I saw you got wet in the rain and wiped your face with it... At that time, you were still Concubine Shu."
After Wen Huan said this, he suddenly lowered his head and smiled helplessly.
But his tone suddenly became somewhat disappointed: "You are already a concubine now. If I give you another handkerchief, I am afraid it will cost me my head."
As soon as these words were spoken, the light in Shu Fei's eyes instantly went out.
The moment she raised her head, Qiao Yuge could even see the hatred in her eyes, a kind of disappointment and hatred.
She was disappointed that Wen Huan was eager to draw a line between himself and her, and she also hated why she was the emperor's woman?
But before she could calm down her expression, she saw Qiao Yuge coming over.
Qiao Yuge wanted to know clearly that she was just passing by. Since Shu Fei dared to meet this man in broad daylight, it proved that Shu Fei was not afraid.
