"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi." The palace maids who sent her back saluted the Prince of Qi who was standing at the gate.
The King of Qi looked past the crowd and fixed his gaze on Tu Qingyu.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Tu Qingyu with a gloomy face.
Tu Qingyu didn't care about him and went back with his things.
When I passed by him, he grabbed my arm.
Tu Qingyu looked up at him and slowly smiled.
Seeing this smile, Huo Qixiao subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, the woman in front of him screamed "Ah", and then dodged to the side with a strong reaction.
She yelled, "Prince, don't, don't hit me... I, I was wrong!"
Dalu, the eunuch, stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Highness, this is not allowed!"
He stood in front of Tu Qingyu, stretched out his hand, and protected Tu Qingyu behind him.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has given you an oral order. Shall we go in and receive it?" Does it look good at the gate?
Facing everyone's gazes that looked like he was a scumbag, Huo Qixiao was completely stiff.
"I didn't..." He frowned and wanted to explain, but when he looked up, he was met with a disapproving look from Dalu Dajian.
The explanation on his lips got stuck in his throat. Finally, he shook his sleeves stiffly and said, "Hmph!"
After entering, Tu Qingyu went straight back to his own side courtyard.
The eunuch said that he could send her back first and then read out the emperor's decree.
There is nothing Tu Qingyu cannot do.
When they stepped into the side courtyard, Dalu's eyes were filled with disbelief. "The princess lives here?"
Chunlan squatted down and said, "Reporting to the eunuch, our princess was moved here by the prince on the second day after her wedding."
“U-Um…”
Qiuju: "Yes, Miss Shu lives in the main courtyard now."
Dong Ping: "The eunuchs don't know. That day, Miss Shu humiliated the princess. The princess finally resisted, but after being beaten with more than ten boards, the prince wanted our princess to pay with her life."
Xia Ye: "Yes, when the knife was on the princess's neck, we had even thought of a way to martyr her."
The older girls chatted with each other, and Dalu's face gradually became gloomy.
Huo Qixiao, who had just followed him into the side courtyard, froze. What did he hear?
He subconsciously retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The maids knelt down and said, "It's our fault. We shouldn't have said that."
They were trembling and looked like they had been oppressed for a long time.
This time, it seemed as if what they said was confirmed.
All of Huo Qixiao's subsequent explanations will become threats.
"Your Highness." Dalu looked at Huo Qixiao disapprovingly, "The princess is a daughter of the Tu family. How can you treat her so poorly?"
Huo Qixiao: "I..."
A feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart.
Dalu stopped looking at him and looked at Tu Qingyu kindly, "Princess, you must be tired after coming to the palace. I will take my leave first. You should have a good rest."
"Thank you, Master, for sending me back. Take care, Master."
Dalu bowed again before turning to leave. Before leaving, he said to Huo Qixiao, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has a message for you and Miss Shu. I wonder where Miss Shu is right now? I hope Your Majesty can take us there."
Dalu has been serving the current emperor since he was a child and is the most capable eunuch around the emperor.
Even the most favored princes and princesses, or the favored empresses in the palace, were respectful to him.
The ambitious King of Qi was naturally no exception.
He made a gesture of invitation, "Master Supervisor, please."
He thought that Tu Qingyu's complaint to the palace would at most result in his father reprimanding him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the main courtyard, Dalu asked someone to go into the inner room and drag out Shu Muyun who was lying on the bed.
Then, the people around Dalu brought out a tray with a dagger, white silk and a cup of poisoned wine on it.
"Your Majesty has decreed that there is a farmer on the prince's farm who is a perfect match for Miss Shu. We are now granting Miss Shu a marriage with that farmer, Chen. A date will be chosen for the ceremony."
"What?!"
"What?!"
These words were like a thunder that exploded in everyone's hearts. Except for the parties involved, Huo Qixiao and Shu Muyun, the servants in the yard were also stunned.
Even if Shu Muyun was the daughter of a minor official, she was still the daughter of an official, and now she was also an official in Beijing.
Although the doctor in the Ministry of Works is only of the fifth rank, if the daughter of a fifth rank is outstanding in every aspect, it is not difficult for her to find a family with high officials and generous salaries in the capital.
After all, since ancient times, women have always chosen their husbands from the upper class.
No matter what, it is impossible to be matched with a farmer.
They are still farmers on the prince's farm. Although they are called farmers, they are actually just tenant farmers.
He is not even a poor scholar and has no future at all.
Shu Muyun subconsciously looked at Huo Qixiao. Regardless of her injuries that had not yet healed, she endured the pain and crawled towards Huo Qixiao using her hands and feet.
"Prince, please save Yun'er, Prince..." She pulled Huo Qixiao's trouser leg and shook it continuously.
Huo Qixiao finally woke up from the thunder and looked at Dalu in disbelief.
"Eunuch...is this decree wrong?" His mind was a mess and he said it without thinking.
Dalu rolled his eyes inwardly, but smiled brightly as he said, "Your Highness, I have been announcing imperial decrees for decades and have never made a mistake."
After saying this, he lowered his head and glanced at Shu Muyun, who was lying on the ground in a mess. "Besides this decree, Your Majesty still has a choice for the girl."
Shu Muyun looked up with tears on her face, "W-what?"
Dalu looked at the tray held beside him. "Did you see that? His Majesty said that if the young lady truly loves the prince and refuses to marry anyone else, she should choose one of these to fulfill your friendship with the prince."
"After all, His Majesty is not an unkind person."
The two of them stared blankly at the three-piece suicide suit, and for a moment, they even forgot to cry.
"No, no, I don't want it, Your Highness, I don't want it... I don't want anything... I just want to be with Your Highness, what have I done wrong?
My love for the prince has not affected anyone, so how could you take my life like this? This is unfair... This is unfair!"
Dalu sneered, "Didn't it bother anyone? The prince has a legitimate wife. How could he allow you to stir up trouble in this palace and bully the princess?"
"I, I didn't do that. It was always the princess who was bullying me. Eunuch, look at my legs. The princess hit me there. Eunuch, please understand, Your Majesty. I really didn't do anything to bully the princess, Eunuch!"
"It's no use telling me. His Majesty has already made the order. You can choose one." Dalu was not moved at all, and the words he said sounded extremely cold to Shu Muyun.
"No, no, I don't want to choose. I don't want to choose at all." She shook her head desperately and crawled again, trying to hide behind Huo Qixiao.
