Yes! That's right!
Faced with Yu Xiyan's relentless pressure, Su Yunying not only did not back down, but instead straightened her chest and looked directly at her without fear.
"Back in Qingyang City, I joined the Boss's forces. It was I who asked the Boss to help solve the floods that plagued the seven southern prefectures of your Great Yin."
But I never expected the boss to attribute such a tremendous achievement to me, nor did I want this vague and intangible fame.
All I want is for the world to be free of tragedies where families are torn apart and lives are lost due to natural disasters or man-made calamities. That's all.
Finally, Su Yunying paused and spoke again: "If you had been able to control the flood in time, the seven southern states of Dayin would not have heard of my name, Su Yunying, now."
Yu Xiyan's pupils contracted. Su Yunying's last words were a blatant slap in the face, almost an open contradiction.
Was she mocking my slow response to the disaster?
Is she mocking me for being a tyrannical ruler who doesn't care about the lives of his people?
Su Yunying, how dare you!
Yu Xiyan's heart was filled with turmoil, and her eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at Su Yunying.
"Enough! So, you and Shen Zhao have been spending a lot of time together, right?"
"I've already made myself very clear. The boss and I were together a long time ago. Do you want me to explain further?"
"In other words, you started seducing Shen Zhao a long time ago. Don't you think it's despicable to seduce a married man?"
"Your Majesty, you'd better clear your head. If I'm not mistaken, the eldest brother never married you in this life. So how can you say he's a married man? It's utterly absurd."
Su Yunying was too lazy to continue arguing with Yu Xiyan, so she picked up the Lone Goose and walked out of the secret room.
"Leave Shen Zhao, the farther away the better."
Suddenly, Su Yunying heard Yu Xiyan's voice.
When she said this, Yu Xiyan was very calm, and her expression showed almost no emotional fluctuation.
Su Yunying stopped, took a deep breath, and turned back to Yu Xiyan firmly, saying, "Unless the boss kicks me out, I will not leave his side for even a moment."
I wouldn't have before, and now, knowing the hardships my eldest brother went through, I'm even less likely to!
Yu Xiyan: "Do you really have to force me?"
Su Yunying: "What did I force you to do? You've done so many things that hurt the boss."
Is it possible to expect your boss to continue to protect and care for you as if nothing happened?
Empress, please wake up! If only you had treated the boss a little better before...
He won't be that far away from you in this lifetime; some hurts, once done, are done.
It's not something that can be salvaged by making amends. When someone's heart is broken, what can you do to win them back?
Besides, the boss has never needed your compensation!
Yu Xiyan's delicate body trembled slightly.
Su Yunying's words made her feel a strong sense of unease.
"Su Yunying, let me make one more point to you: this is a matter between me and Shen Zhao, and it is none of your business to interfere."
"Haven't you come to reality yet? The boss is determined not to be with you."
"If not with me, then with you?" Yu Xiyan retorted. "In terms of temperament, you are no match for me. In terms of status, I am the ruler of a nation."
"As for talent, I am proficient in poetry, lyrics, and prose; you are merely a rogue cultivator whose origins are unclear. What makes you think Shen Zhao would be with you?"
Faced with Yu Xiyan's aggressive words, most people would probably back down.
But Su Yunying calmly replied, "Yes, that's right, I am a rogue cultivator with an unknown background."
They don't even know who their biological parents are.
But this is a problem that has existed since birth, and it's not caused by my personal reasons.
I don't have your charisma, talent, or your powerful background and origins.
But I can learn. For my eldest brother's sake, I will strive to learn poetry and literature well.
As for my demeanor, I can gradually adapt and strive to become the kind of person my boss likes.
I always believed that if you truly fall in love with someone, you would definitely make every effort to change for them.
Instead of squandering existing status and advantages, slowly eroding your partner's affection.
Yu Xiyan clenched her fists involuntarily.
Su Yunying spoke in a very calm tone, but...
What she said truly made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Looking at Su Yunying's firm and composed eyes, that terrible thought rose in her mind again.
We absolutely cannot let her live.
"Absurd!" Yu Xiyan scoffed. "No matter how eloquent you are, you can't change the fact that you coveted another woman's husband."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying felt a sudden dizziness, as if many non-existent memories flooded into her mind.
After a moment, she took a deep breath and said, word by word, "If you're talking about my past life, then I admit it, I did have improper thoughts about Brother Shen."
From the moment I arrived in Chang'an and learned of his marriage to you, I have been silently watching over him.
But from beginning to end, I never took the initiative to show myself and acknowledge him.
Because I never intended to disrupt your married life with him.
She could only bury this love for Brother Shen deep in her heart forever.
Even if he may have long forgotten my existence, I will never regret what I did.
Yu Xiyan was speechless for a moment. Indeed, in her previous life, she had never noticed any connection between Su Yunying and Shen Zhao.
but……
Are there really such devoted people in this world?
"But, Your Majesty, Brother Shen loves you so much, why are you treating him so cruelly?"
