"But, after so many years of relationship, how can I just let it go?" Her voice was full of sadness and regret.
Xiaoqing felt distressed and puzzled, "Then how do you treat the emperor...?"
Since you can't let go, why do you accept the emperor so easily now?
"I, I was thinking, if I had other people around me, I could slowly forget about him."
"This...!" Xiaoqing was shocked. Is it okay to treat His Majesty as a healing medicine?
She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one else in the room except her and Tu Qingyu.
"Girl, please don't say that again. If His Majesty finds out, you will definitely be blamed."
Her girl is already pretty good-looking. If she falls out of favor, won't everyone in the palace eat her and her servant?
"I know. I won't say anything more." She pulled the quilt over her head again. "Men are so fickle. I shouldn't still be thinking about her. I shouldn't..."
Xiaoqing looked at her back wrapped in a quilt with worried eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In fact, she felt that her current life was pretty good.
At least the emperor is really more handsome than the former son-in-law.
I really hope the girl can figure it out and get over it soon.
Her face was full of worry, while Tu Qingyu had already followed the secret guard to the side hall.
Li Yuanqi heard the secret guard's reply and clenched his fists tightly. He lowered his eyes and asked again uncertainly, "Is this what she said?"
The secret guard clasped his fists and said, "I haven't changed a single word."
Li Yuanqi knew that the secret guards usually replied to such questions word for word.
But he was still surprised that a woman would be so bold as to use him as a medicine to forget her past.
He felt a little sad and a little enlightened. No wonder Tu Qingyu's attitude towards him was so strange. Now he knew the reason.
He stayed in the side hall until late at night before coming to Tu Qingyu's bed again.
Looking at Tu Qingyu's already slightly flushed sleeping face, he sighed slightly in his heart, forget it, just let it be healing medicine.
It's all Ding Yucheng's fault.
Thinking of this, he gently took off his coat, went to bed, held Tu Qingyu in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, Ding Yucheng didn't know what he was about to face. He was just ecstatic that he finally succeeded. He was happily selecting the things he had and planned to go to Tong's house to propose marriage.
"How's it going?" In Tong's residence, Meng Tian looked at Tong Yueyi with shining eyes, "Is it done?"
Tong Yueyi's face turned red when she heard such a bold question. She nodded, and a little red mark was revealed on her collar.
"That's good. When will Ding Yucheng come to ask your father for marriage?"
"He said he'd go back and get ready and come." At this point, she trembled all over, "Sister Tiantian, I'm a little scared."
Meng Tian: "What's there to be afraid of? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You two are willing. There is nothing more suitable than two people who are willing to be together in this world."
Tong Yueyi: "But since ancient times, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers. I'm..."
"How pedantic!" Meng Tian pouted. "Where do all these rules come from in this world? Love can overcome all difficulties!"
Tong Yueyi was comforted: "You are right, love can overcome all difficulties!"
Ding Yucheng acted quickly and brought the things to Tong's house almost on the third day after the matter was accomplished.
He expected Minister Tong to return, but he didn't expect that when he came up again, Minister Tong wouldn't even put on a show.
He sat in Tong's house for the entire afternoon, and not only did he not get to drink noodles with Minister Tong, he didn't even get to drink a sip of tea.
Finally, he had no choice but to take out the handkerchief embroidered with Tong Yueyi's best friend and a letter, and asked the servant to give them to Minister Tong.
Half an hour later, Minister Tong appeared in front of him with a dark face.
Tong Shilang asked coldly with a sullen face, "What do you want to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Yucheng knelt down in front of him with a thud.
"Uncle, I and Yueyi are truly in love. I beg you to help me. As long as you are willing to help me, I will devote myself to you until my death!"
"You and Yueyi..." Minister Tong was not moved by these words. His hand holding the handkerchief trembled as he asked, "How far have you and that rebellious girl gotten?"
Ding Yucheng lowered his head and said, "I have done everything I should and shouldn't have done."
"You!" Minister Tong's eyes turned red with anger. He glanced around and said, "Everyone, get out!"
After he finished speaking, he approached Ding Yucheng and raised his hand, "Pa!"
With a crisp sound, Ding Yucheng's head was slapped to the side.
Minister Tong's hands trembled. "Why didn't I realize you were such an unscrupulous person before?"
Ding Yucheng lowered his head with a gloomy look in his eyes. But after a moment, he adjusted his mood, raised his head, and said sincerely:
"Uncle, please save me. I swear that I will treat Yueyi well and never let her down for the rest of my life."
"Hmph." Minister Tong snorted coldly, "When you married Tu, you must have made a similar vow to her father, saying you would never marry another woman and would be devoted to her forever."
He didn't care much about this concubine's daughter. He had many concubines, and she was just a tool to consolidate the family's interests. He was angry because this concubine's daughter might ruin the reputation of all the women in his Tong family, and thus affect the entire Tong family.
Ding Yucheng's face froze when he heard this, and the image of that beautiful face resurfaced in his mind.
He and Tu Qingyu could be considered childhood sweethearts. Before Tu's father passed away, he proposed to her and she had indeed vowed that she would never have two minds in this life.
"You remember?"
Minister Tong stared at him, his shrewd eyes seeming to see through him.
He could only manage to steady himself, "Yueyi is different. She, she is different from other women. She is the only woman I've ever seen..."
"Okay." Minister Tong interrupted him, "I don't understand my own daughter, so how can I not understand men?"
He thought for a moment and then said fiercely, "Now that it has happened, I can't disagree. Tu Zhaoyi, I will help you solve it. You just need to treat Yueyi well."
Their Tong family also has a beauty and a concubine in the palace, as well as some thorns planted in the palace by their ancestors in the early years. He didn't believe that he couldn't get rid of a concubine who had just entered the palace and had an unstable foundation.
It's not that I haven't thought about giving up a concubine's daughter or getting rid of Ding Yucheng more simply.
The fear is that no matter whether he deals with the concubine or Ding Yucheng, Ding Yucheng has a backup plan and will cause a lot of trouble.
After much thought, he still felt that Tu Qingyu was the easiest to deal with among the three.
There are so many concubines in your majesty's palace, and with so many people involved, it shouldn't be too difficult to take advantage of the situation and get rid of one of them.
"Solve?" Ding Yucheng asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by...solve?"
Minister Tong sneered, his meaning clear.
Ding Yucheng really wanted to ask if he could let Tu Qingyu go, but he had just begged Minister Tong to let Tong Yueyi marry him, so he didn't dare to speak at all.
What's more, Minister Tong took the trouble to deal with Tu Qingyu, ultimately it was all for him.
After struggling for a while, he chose to remain silent.
Two days later, a palace servant was seen walking through the corridors of Changsheng Palace carrying a bowl of drugged bird's nest porridge.
