"Father, I mean I want to marry her. I love her, I truly love her, and I hope Father will grant my wish."
As Gu Changzhou spoke, he even knelt down.
"If she refuses, and you insist on forcing her, I will become a vengeful ghost and make sure you never have a moment's peace."
Ji Ruchen, who had been silent and kneeling, suddenly spoke, and his words were so vivid and pleasant to hear.
Why am I so devoted to him? Perhaps it's because he speaks so sweetly and always gets to the heart of my soul. Suddenly, I feel my increasingly cold heart warming up again.
This wretched sand keeps getting into my eyes.
Everyone else gets blushing, but I'm the only one who always gets red eyes. My eyes get red all the time. I'm so pathetic.
The room fell silent; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Nonsense! The only person you can marry is Her Highness the Princess. Don't say such nonsense again."
How could a prince of a nation marry a commoner? What kind of decorum is this? If he truly loves her, he can take her as a concubine. To be her concubine is already an immense blessing for her, especially since he is a…”
I never expected that Emperor Yi would be such a person. Why should commoners be consorts? It's absurd.
"In short, your wife can only be Her Highness the Princess."
It was an unquestionable tone, and I suddenly felt that Gu Changzhou, this hothead, was actually quite pitiful.
The Crown Prince is nowhere near as carefree as the Second Young Master of the Gu family, who can do whatever he wants, bully men and women, cheat and swindle, and feign a romantic lifestyle—all of which suit him perfectly.
That's terrible...it's absolutely terrible.
"You wretched child, who has the right to speak here? What's with all this arrogance? Just like your mother, your haughty attitude is disgusting."
"Guards, drag this wretched creature out and give him forty more strokes of the cane. Send him on his way as soon as possible, so I don't have to look at him and feel disgusted."
Just as I was lamenting how pitiful Gu Changzhou was, Emperor Yi suddenly launched an attack. He strode up to Ji Ruchen and stepped towards him. I tried to stop him, but it was too late.
I had no choice but to rush over and block him. The floor was very slippery, and Ji Ruchen and I slid a long way together. My back was burning with pain, as if my bones were broken.
This shows just how much Emperor Yi disliked Ji Ruchen.
"You idiot, why are you so stubborn? Didn't you want to go back? Why did you come back? You fool, you idiot."
Ji Ruchen hugged me tightly, patting my arm repeatedly, tears streaming down his face like they were free, falling onto the spot on my back where I had been kicked, causing excruciating pain.
"Miss Qingyi..." Gu Changzhou called out to me, but I was too weak to reply.
With a beauty in my arms, it's such a wonderful time, but alas, my back is a real pain. It seems the Winged Emperor is determined to take Ji Ruchen's life.
"What did you say her name was?"
I had just recovered when I heard Emperor Yi ask Gu Changzhou something.
“Father, I call her Miss Qingyi. Her full name is Luo Qingyi. She is my good friend.”
I couldn't help but sigh, this simple-minded young man is such an honest kid. He doesn't speak, so no one thinks he's mute.
"Isn't her name Pianpian? How come she's also called Luo Qingyi? ... The name Luo Qingyi sounds so familiar, but I can't remember it."
"Your Majesty, this old minister remembers that the girl who caused a scene at the wedding of the deposed crown prince and the princess half a year ago was named Luo Qingyi."
An old man suddenly appeared from some obscure corner and revealed my identity.
