001: What does it mean to protect? I mean to protect Su Wanrou.
Di Xiu: Even if it makes her happy... maybe.
001: ...
The above is a conversation between two emotionally clueless people.
The point about protecting the Wei family is obvious: prevent the emperor from confiscating their property and ensure their continued prosperity.
But protecting Su Wanrou... the ultimate goal is to make her happy, that's true, but how to achieve that is a difficult problem for this divine unification.
Continuing the engagement, marrying her, and treating her well are options. However, Di Xiu considered that with his own personality and Su Wanrou's previous personality, he might drive her into becoming a resentful woman, so the plan was rejected.
Choosing a new marriage for her is too risky, so we'll pass on that idea.
He personally felt that it was more appropriate for her to find something to do on her own, to find meaning in life and achieve happiness through her own efforts, but he couldn't reason with her about it.
She was at a disadvantage in this marriage, was used to pleasing others, and placed all her personal feelings on her future husband. Di Xiu wanted to change her personality, but he still couldn't reason with her.
Well, he couldn't deliver a long, persuasive speech, so he found a suitable candidate.
Fortunately, Princess Fu'an was able to reason with her, perhaps because they were both women and she could better understand each other's thoughts.
Protecting Su Wanrou can be considered to have come to a close, and the imperial cultivators that could be arranged have been arranged as much as possible. Even if she runs into Mu Ruoling in the future, with Princess Fu'an as her backer, the Second Princess as her helper, and the maids sent to her as her henchmen, she will not suffer any losses.
Of course, it's time to deal with Mu Ruoling's task as well.
After returning home, Di Xiu told Wei's parents about canceling the engagement and almost got a beating from both men and women.
The emperor already admired the Wei family's status, considering they were of a lower social standing and their daughters were of higher social standing. He had no intention of forcing a marriage between powerful families. They were very fond of Su Wanrou and were eagerly awaiting her funeral so they could marry her off in a grand ceremony. However, before the funeral was even over, their son claimed he had no feelings for her and planned to abandon her after their affair.
He needs a good beating to wake him up.
Fortunately, the eldest princess arrived in time with Su Wanrou, explained the situation in detail, and persuaded them to return the tokens.
As for the Su family, the eldest princess simply sent someone over to inform them, and that was the end of it.
The engagement was dissolved on the grounds that their birth charts were incompatible.
Reasons are just for outsiders to see; as long as they're plausible, that's enough. The people of Zhaodu discussed it for a while, and in the end, they could only say that they were destined to be apart, and they made a show of lamenting.
After Emperor Xiu had a few fights with Yan Ling, he obtained several medical records from famous doctors and sent them to the Princess's residence.
The eldest princess flipped through the pages, and said thoughtfully, "He acts without any rhyme or reason, which is really strange. Even I can't understand him."
Su Wanrou smiled, her eyes sparkling. She gently covered her chest, as if she could feel the presence of someone.
“Mother, he is really good to me.”
The princess glanced at her sideways and snorted, "It's not too late for you to turn back now."
"No, I won't turn back." Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm.
Even if her former lover returned, she would not turn back. The backyard was too small, and she was unwilling to settle for it. The outside world was vast and boundless, and she longed for it.
"Mother, thank you." Because of her mother, she was able to choose not to compromise.
The eldest princess sighed, gently stroking her head, her eyes filled with sorrow: "You still have to walk your own path from now on, Rou'er. No one can protect you for a lifetime. Your father can't, your brothers can't, your son can't either. Besides yourself, there is only yourself. Those who are willing to protect you will always protect you."
"Rou'er knows."
Those who are willing to protect me will always protect me, like my mother, and like her husband.
"Alright, go back to your reading. I need to check your work when you're done. These medical cases are all difficult and complicated cases, so they're not suitable for you to read right now. Come back to me for them after you pass my test."
"...Yes, Mother."
...
Di Xiu had originally planned to marry Su Wanrou within a year, waiting for her to finish her mourning period and for the wedding to take place. Now, he no longer needs to wait that long.
He estimated that the roads in Zhaodu could be repaired with cement in about a month and a half, and the rest were not major problems.
The current method of escape must be logical and cover up one's true intentions.
Having kept Mu Ruoling around until now, it's time for her to contribute her remaining energy.
Half a year has passed since Mu Ruoling was reborn and returned. This heroine, who was determined to clear her name and become the first princess of Tiansheng, has had a rough start and is now facing setbacks in everything she does. She is still embroiled in scandals.
Wei Zixiao, Su Wanrou, and the Empress, these three mortal enemies, appeared to be well-behaved and did not provoke or scheme against her as they did in the other timeline. Unable to be a victim and take revenge by killing them while occupying the moral high ground, she could not find any evidence against them and could not help but take the initiative to act.
The methods used were too rudimentary, there was no one to back them up, and with Yanling causing trouble, the outcome was often dismal.
Emperor Xiu occasionally saw her a few times and noticed that her luck was decreasing each time. He also saw that the emperor was implicated and his dragon aura was declining—Zhao Yuning was partly responsible for this.
If Zhao Yuning and Princess Fu'an hadn't had different stances, they might have been able to be close friends.
Mu Ruoling also wanted to build a career and recruit talented people for the future. Di Xiu let things take their course and did not interfere, while 001 wholeheartedly agreed with her efforts to win people over.
Perhaps to highlight her beauty, these men would be amazed and their hearts would flutter at first sight of her, just like at the previous banquet—this only applies to young people.
As for the older ones, they were either talented but unappreciated, or suppressed by villains for some reason, and were therefore grateful for her promotion.
But the talented and virtuous people that Mu Ruoling considers worthy of her trust and appointment must be truly good, truly concerned about the country and its people, and possess both talent and virtue. Most of them are the same group that the empress led when she rebelled in her previous life and refused to yield even in the face of death.
But this time, no one offered her advice or guidance. No matter how much the emperor favored her, he didn't teach her the proper conduct between ruler and subject.
She could win people's gratitude with just words, but with her abilities and character, she couldn't control them or gain their submission.
001 was initially urging Di Xiu to get rid of the female lead quickly, but after seeing how generously she sent the virtuous men to Di Xiu and painstakingly boosted his reputation by stepping on others, thus dedicating herself to our rebellion, he was moved to tears and affectionately called her Second Sister.
The number one hero is, of course, the omnipotent male protagonist.
Di Xiu began to move the nails he had set up, and the number one leader, who was paying close attention to him, immediately noticed something was amiss and came uninvited in the middle of the night.
A man sat facing the moon in the courtyard. On the stone table beside him was a pot of tea and two teacups. Yan Ling suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, and sat down opposite him.
"Wei Zixiao, what are your plans? Are you going to use the commission?"
