Chapter 208 The Truth

Yun Ju'an looked at the blood on his hands in a daze. Du Huo felt distressed when he saw this. He quickly wet his handkerchief with tea and wiped it off for Yun Ju'an:

"Miss, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yun Zhuan seemed to have lost his soul, and grabbed Duhuo with both hands:

"Duhuo, I want to see Nan Wu, take me there."

There was no reason for Duhuo to refuse, so he took his young lady in the direction that Si Niang had just left.

Poor young lady, she has gone through so many setbacks before she even reached the age of 15.

Yun Ju'an stumbled and was supported by Duhuo to go see Nan Wu. Only Si Niang was in the hall helping Nan Wu to prepare her appearance.

Seeing this, the goddess had a sad look on her face, then she knelt down and saluted:

"This servant has met Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Nanzhao. May you live forever."

Yun Zhuan realized:

"Stand up."

The priestess simply turned around and took out two imperial edicts and handed them to Duhuo:

"These two imperial edicts, one is the edict that conferred the title of Crown Princess to Your Highness, and the other is the edict that appointed the Crown Princess as the current Queen of Nanzhao."

"My master has already written it and has given it to me to keep. I will give it to you when I can meet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess one day."

Yun Zhuan said blankly:

"Why?"

This made her seem really ridiculous. She was so desperate to fight for the territory of Nanzhao, not knowing that Nanwu had already planned to hand over Nanzhao to her.

What on earth is this?

There were still tears in Si Niang's eyes, but she did not blame the new king who had harmed her master at all:

"Because, the moment Mr. Bai found you, you became the destined successor of my master."

"The master's life is so short. She is only about 27 or 28 years old now. Since she was helped to that position by Bei Chu, I don't know how many people and people from other countries have looked down on her and despised her. She has endured all the hardships and fatigue alone."

"Because it's better to be in the hands of the master than to be in the hands of someone else found by Beichu."

Si Niang sat there, looking at Nan Wu's face, which was no longer as charming as before:

"I am just a servant, I don't understand so many political affairs. I just do whatever the master says. I have indeed seen how the master spared no effort against those traitors, and even spared no cost to take revenge..."

"My master is pitiful. He spent the first half of his life living in a dream created by the Supreme Lady, and the second half of his life living in hatred."

Yun Zhuan said gloomily: "Then I am being hunted by someone?"

"Part of it was the Northern Chu people who were hunting you down, so the master also ordered an assassination against you. Often the master's people and the Northern Chu people fought fiercely, and then the remaining people were ordered to hunt you down. Otherwise, the master's men would not have been defeated so easily!" Si Niang remembered that Nan Wu couldn't sleep, and when she sat alone until dawn, she still said:

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have grown up yet, how could you have faced Northern Chu?"

When Si Niang said this, Yun Zhuan took a step back in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

"Your Highness, the position of the Queen is not so easy to hold." Si Niang whispered, "If you don't have the cunning, means, and strategy of a Queen, sending you to this position is no different from waiting for death. Even if you have Mr. Bai by your side, if other men interfere in the government affairs of Nanzhao, it will only damage your reputation and the state system."

"That is why Mr. Bai knew that he had been involved in government affairs for nearly three generations and was too old to support you again. That is why he was willing to drink that glass of wine."

Bai Ye is a hindrance to women's rights in Nanzhao.

Nan Wu was willing to bring the bad reputation upon herself in order to leave a clean government for Yun Ju'an.

During the time that Nan Wu had been in Nanzhao under Yun Ju'an, she had almost dealt with all the hidden stakes of Bei Chu in Nanzhao.

Yun Zhuan felt as if his heart was being squeezed so tightly that he couldn't breathe.

No wonder she felt that her path to power was too smooth.

It was clearly not that smooth, but someone was carrying the burden for her.

Yun Zhuan couldn't imagine what a sophisticated plan it must have been to make Bei Chu unaware and even more unresponsive.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Ju'an only felt that her body seemed hollow. She could not see the people who were kind to her, nor could she see everyone clearly.

I could no longer stand there. I felt weak and almost powerless.

Duhuo looked at Yun Zhuan like this and said anxiously:

"Miss, why don't you take a break?"

Yun Zhuan said in a daze, and he seemed to see the scene of the two girls reading in the corridor again:

"Okay, who are they?"

Who is it?

Who is who?

Duhuo didn't know what his young lady was saying, Yun Zhuan had already fainted.

"Si Niang respectfully sends off Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

After seeing the person leave, Si Niang continued to quietly clean up and organize everything related to Nan Wu.

In the past, Nan Wu would hardly let others do her things for her, but now she was sleeping here, and Si Niang thought that she was finally lucky enough to do something for her master.

Maybe after she goes down, the master will blame her, or maybe, he will be angry with her for casually telling Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess about these things.

But it doesn't matter.

Who made Nan Wu her master?

After a long while, Si Niang looked at Nan Wu's appearance for a while, poured herself a cup of tea to quench her thirst, and then leaned against the bed.

Relying on his master, he finally closed his eyes.

She didn't want to wait a moment longer.

Yun Juan was in a dream, and what she saw before her eyes was a blurry beige dreamland.

The result is a soft and white summer.

A little girl in gorgeous clothes sneaked out of the school, quickly gathered with the little girl under the eaves, and said with a smile:

"Awu, look what I brought?"

The little girl named Awu took the book, her face full of joy: "Sister Ayun, this is amazing! This is The Doctrine of the Mean!"

The little girl who was called Sister A'an said complacently, "Yeah, I'm really good, right? The teacher just talked about this aspect and I haven't had time to review it yet!"

"There's someone over there, sister, let's squat down!" Ah Wu quickly pulled her sister down and squatted down. After a long while, she saw the person pass by and then stood up and said, "It was a close call just now. It should be a teacher from the Imperial College, right?"

Ah Yun smiled and said, "You, it would be great if the Queen Mother would allow you to study with me..."

The two were reading The Doctrine of the Mean with great interest. Not long after, a tall man appeared behind them and said, "I'm so proud of you."

"You two are about to go to class, why aren't you going in yet?"

The two of them quickly put their hands behind their backs, and when they looked up, they saw that it was Bai Ye when he was young!

At that time, he was so handsome and elegant.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
