But what's going on here? Didn't they say that Anguo broke his promise and wanted to unify the world, and that his army had already reached Xuancheng? Why does Emperor Yi still want to be on good terms with Anguo forever?
Could it be that Emperor Yi was completely unaware of Anguo's advance?
Could it be that the entire palace is under Princess Anguo's control? Then why does Luo Qingyun say that the government is recruiting soldiers and that Prime Minister Gu Zian will be executed soon? This is really strange.
Who is this young lady?
After Emperor Yi finished speaking with Princess Anguo, he finally noticed me. Ji Ruchen remained kneeling, neither humble nor arrogant, seemingly unaware of my arrival.
This is really awkward. I thought he would be overjoyed to see me and jump for joy. Didn't he say he wanted to make up with me the other day? After not seeing him for a few days, why is he acting like this again? A man's heart is truly unfathomable.
I shouldn't have saved him in the first place. Otherwise, all these things wouldn't have happened, and I would have suffered so much for nothing. Now I have to die with him.
"Girl?" Emperor Yi asked me again.
"Waaah... I am His Highness's new concubine, named Piaopiao, whom he took two days ago. Today, the Crown Princess brought me to plead for His Highness. I wonder what crime His Highness has committed that requires him to kneel here,"
I wiped away my tears and said sadly to Emperor Yi that I felt I had a deep and profound affection for Ji Ruchen.
In this world, only a woman as foolish as me, whose brain is practically filled with water, would be stupid enough to put myself in danger for an enemy who cut off my legs.
"You are the one who looks a lot like the barbarian woman from Minchuan, Piaopiao. Your name is quite nice. I heard you are a girl from the City Painting Pavilion. This rebellious son dared to offend even the Empress and me for your sake. Why are you wearing a veil? I want to see what kind of stunning beauty you are."
Seeing my tearful appearance, Emperor Yi's eyes were filled with the flames of desire. He shoved Princess Anguo aside and reached out to pull off my veil.
This...this...how could the Wing Emperor be so rude today, removing the veil of a strange woman in front of so many people in the hall? Is this still the same Wing King Ji Chu, who was high above, arrogant, devoted in love, and benevolent throughout the land?
My legs were trembling so badly that I instinctively hid behind Ji Ruchen.
In the past, whenever I offended someone or caused trouble, I would always run behind Ji Ruchen and hide, and those people would not dare to do anything to me. Therefore, I often bullied others by taking advantage of my power.
None of those people who were acquainted with Ji Ruchen had escaped being bullied by me.
Perhaps it was because her actions of hiding behind Ji Ruchen were somewhat comical that she caused everyone in the hall to burst into laughter, even Princess Anguo had a slight smile on her lips.
You can see how wretched I am now. Ji Ruchen is still kneeling there like a wooden stake, not moving an inch. I really wonder if he is even alive.
"Father, please don't be offended. My younger sister is a bit shy, which is why she offended you. I apologize on her behalf."
Perhaps out of respect for Luo Qingyun, Princess Anguo did speak up for me.
"I, I, I am somewhat ugly, and I dare not offend Your Majesty's eyes. That's why I was flustered for a moment. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me and not take offense. Yes, please don't take offense."
I hurriedly covered my face with my sleeve to hide my panic, and raised my IQ from less than 10 to 12 before I could come up with such a lame excuse to explain my panicked and reckless behavior.
"No, no, raise your head and let me see you."
