The prince had never said these words to her before.
"But..." You said that as long as it's something from the palace, I can take it.
Seeing Huo Qixiao's slightly furrowed brows and increasingly serious gaze, she didn't dare to say anything more.
A sense of panic arose in her heart. The prince was different from before. She always felt that there was something she could no longer hold on to.
When did it start?
Oh, yes, it was after she framed Tu Qingyu and pushed her into the water, and she was punished and woke up.
Just as I was thinking about this, Huo Qixiao's voice rang out again, "And the last time you fell into the water, was it really her who pushed you?"
There was no intention of blaming him, just a plain inquiry.
But these words were asked by Huo Qixiao, the one who always believed in her and obeyed her in everything.
Just this one sentence made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
Her body trembled, her mind raced, then she raised her head, her red eyes filled with disappointment.
"Your Highness, are you... doubting me?" She was on the verge of tears, as if the next second, her tears would burst out again. "After all these years, doesn't Your Highness know who I am?"
"Your Highness...is it that in your eyes, she is the loyal daughter of a general, and I am just the daughter of a minor official, a shameless and lowly person who was able to fall in love with Your Highness before marriage?"
"Nonsense! You are not allowed to be so self-deprecating."
"Isn't that so? That's what the noble princess said."
At this point, her tears just fell, "Yes, what qualifications do I have to compete with her? Family background, appearance, talent..."
"Alright, alright." Huo Qixiao quickly leaned over to comfort him. "You are the best in my heart. I don't think so. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Then why did the prince ask me such a question?"
"It just suddenly occurred to me..."
But he suddenly thought of the words he heard under the window that day. Tu Qingyu said in a weak voice, "He actually doesn't believe me to this extent."
Then I thought about it again. She said she didn’t want to miss me anymore and didn’t love me anymore.
So her style really seemed like she had become a different person.
He then wondered if he had wronged her in many things in the past.
That's why he asked this question today, but looking at Shu Muyun's performance, he was not very sure anymore.
When she was a child, Yun'er was willing to hurt herself to save a stranger. She was so pure and kind.
Will she really use those tricks when she grows up?
Shu Muyun endured the pain in her body and hugged the man tightly, "Your Highness, please believe Yun'er. If Yun'er has done those things, then let Yun'er be struck by lightning and die without a burial place."
"Don't talk nonsense, just live well for this king."
He lowered his head and put Shu Muyun back on the bed. "You should have a good rest. I still have some government affairs to deal with. I will come to see you after I have dealt with them."
His mind was in such a mess that he needed to calm down.
"Then..." Things had come to this point. Shu Muyuan no longer dared to make a fuss, but he still felt infinitely aggrieved in his heart.
Her legs were broken and she suffered so much, but the prince came to persuade her to be more obedient.
But now, she has to swallow this grievance.
As soon as Huo Qixiao left, her eyes became gloomy, and her whole body was shrouded in gloom and resentment.
Coupled with the pain in his back, his face was distorted beyond recognition.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qixiao came back at this time, and she had no time to hide her sinister expression.
Huo Qixiao was stunned when he saw it as he walked into the room.
Shu Muyun was also stunned. It was too late to control the emotions on her face, so she slammed her face on the pillow.
She started sobbing again.
As Huo Qixiao gradually approached, she spoke sullenly, "I, I just wanted to practice to make myself look fiercer so that I wouldn't be bullied next time. I never thought that the prince would see me."
"Wuwuwu... Just let me die..."
Huo Qixiao didn't delve into her statement. He just sat down and gently stroked the top of her head.
"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you. These past few days, I've convinced Mother, and she's agreed to let me take you into the palace as a concubine."
"Concubine?" Shu Muyun raised her head, disappointment flashing across her eyes.
Huo Qixiao frowned, "Concubine, are you dissatisfied?"
Shu Muyun's status was too low, and he had to fight for the position of concubine several times.
He had already suffered a great disadvantage by marrying Tu Qingyu, whose father and brother had both passed away. Now he was marrying the daughter of a minor official. As for the position of concubine, no noble lady from a wealthy family would be willing to marry her.
This also means that in the future, he will not be able to rely on the Yue family's power at all.
This is already a huge sacrifice.
But now, Shu Muyun showed a look of disappointment, and he was dissatisfied in his heart.
Fortunately, Shu Muyun was very good at reading people's expressions. When she saw his dissatisfaction, she quickly said, "Yun'er is not dissatisfied. Yun'er just thought of a sentence in the book."
"What?"
"Only husband and wife can share the same bed in life and the same grave in death. Yun'er is greedy, thinking of living and dying together with the prince."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and Huo Qixiao felt distressed again.
"I'm just a concubine for now. Don't worry, I will give you whatever you want."
"Really? Thank you, Your Highness." Shu Muyun's face was full of emotion.
"Well, the date will be set after April. When your leg is better, I will send you back to prepare for your marriage.
Don't worry, I will prepare everything for you, you don't need to worry about anything."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Yun'er knows that no one in this world will treat me better than Your Highness."
…
After Tu Qingyu returned, he kept eating melons with Dabao. Not to mention, the part where Shu Muyun couldn't change her expression was really funny.
Dabao: "What a disgusting pair of dogs and bitches! The King of Qi even dared to promise her the position of princess. Where does he put you, my master?"
Tu Qingyu: "Where else can I put it? On the tip of the knife, the kind that wants to kill me at any moment."
Dabao: "But Shu Muyun dared to swear such a vicious oath, tsk."
His last "tsk" was exactly the same as Tu Qingyu's.
Tu Qingyu: "Since she dares to make such a vicious oath, Dabao, let her remember it, and we will fulfill her wish when the time comes."
Dabao: "Okay, Master."
The next two days were the most comfortable two days Tu Qingyu had ever had since he came here.
She called back all the strong and healthy companions.
Whenever something went wrong in the mansion, she would order people to throw things around, beat people, and punish them.
Now, no one in the mansion dares to mess with her.
Including an old nanny who followed Huo Qixiao out of the palace and was a bit domineering.
On the second day after the incident, the nanny went into the palace. When she came back, she said she had brought Li Bin's oral instructions and scolded Tu Qingyu.
It was so funny. Tu Qingyu was no longer afraid. He slapped everyone in the face and everyone was stunned.
