On the small couch, Feng Changye smiled happily as he listened.
The imperial physician was pulling out the dagger from him, but he insisted on raising his upper body and turning his head to look at his queen, causing the blood to flow from the wound. This made the imperial physician so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat, but he himself seemed to feel no pain at all.
He gazed at his queen, her beautiful eyes and eyebrows filled with sweetness.
Those watery eyes were full of tenderness.
After so many years of loneliness, he finally waited for someone other than Xiao Yuanzi to protect him. And this person happened to be his most beloved queen.
Nothing could make him happier than this. He gave his whole heart to the queen, and the queen also gave her whole heart to him. She understood him, cared about him, and protected him so much.
She made him feel what it was like to be loved.
Very sweet.
His heart is melting now.
However, Feng Yushu, who was kneeling opposite Zhu Wuhuan, had a different reaction.
She stared at Zhu Wuhuan in a daze, thinking that the queen was lying and slandering her father.
Her father couldn't be such a cruel person!
She was only three years old when her father died, so she didn't have a very deep impression of him. Those impressions she had of him were told to her by her mother.
Her mother always told her that her father was a very good man. If he could become emperor, he would surely create a prosperous era and be a wise ruler.
As for Fifth Uncle Feng Changye...
It seemed that ever since she could remember, her mother had always told her that her fifth uncle was a bad guy. It was her fifth uncle who coveted her father's position as crown prince, and it was her fifth uncle who killed her father...
After her mother died of depression, the words she left her were engraved even more deeply in her mind, and she has never forgotten them until now.
When she was four years old and saw her fifth uncle Feng Changye ascend the throne, her first thought was: If it was her father sitting on the throne, her wise and powerful father would definitely be able to do a better job than this fifth uncle.
Her father must have been too kind and soft-hearted, which is why he was killed by the bad uncle Fifth.
Therefore, she developed endless hatred towards the bad uncle.
This hatred reached its peak after she and her brother were exiled to the village.
She felt that her mother was right. She and her brother should have been the princess and the prince. It was her fifth uncle who killed their father and took away everything from them. Her fifth uncle was their lifelong enemy.
That's why when she had the chance to meet the emperor this time, she wanted to die together with the bad uncle Fifth Uncle.
But now the queen actually told her that the gentle and kind father in her mind, the good father, was actually the truly cruel and ruthless one?
How is this possible?
This really subverted her cognition.
This is completely different from what her biological mother said!
She glanced at the queen in front of her, then looked at the emperor on the small couch, shook her head and said, "I don't believe it."
She sneered, "Empress, you and the Emperor are husband and wife, so naturally you will defend him, glorify him, and smear my father to death."
A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. "I don't believe anything you say. I only believe what my mother said before she died. As the saying goes, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. My father is dead, and the dead can't argue for themselves. Aren't the events of the past left to you, the victors, to compile?"
Zhu Wuhuan was not angry when he heard this.
She doesn't have any divine aura, so it's impossible for this little girl to believe everything she says.
The girl has firmly believed in her belief for many years, and it is impossible for her words to easily overturn it.
She looked at Feng Yushu patiently, "If you don't believe what I say, then do you trust the character of my father, the iron-willed General Zhu? Do you want me to ask him to tell you what happened back then?"
When Feng Yushu heard this, her pupils shrank slightly!
She suddenly clenched her palms and kept silent.
She naturally trusted General Zhu's character. She believed that the general who was invincible on the battlefield would never lie.
But it was precisely because she believed in General Zhu's character that she became even more nervous when she heard the Queen's words.
Since the Queen dared to let General Zhu tell her about what happened in the past, it proved that what the Queen just said was probably true!
Could it be that her father was really afraid of his fifth uncle who was deeply favored by the emperor's grandfather and was afraid that his fifth uncle would become his rival, so he took the initiative to harm his fifth uncle?
When Feng Yushu was feeling uneasy, Zhu Wuhuan looked at the guards.
"Go out of the palace and ask my father to come in."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the eleven-year-old girl with pity.
She didn't want the little girl to follow the same path she had in her previous life. If she continued to harbor hatred and keep thinking about assassinating the emperor, she would be killed by having her neck twisted.
After all, she is the little girl's aunt, and the two children in her belly are the little girl's cousins. She wants to help the little girl more.
At the age of blooming flowers, wouldn’t it be nice to live a good life?
Is it worth it to ruin your life for hatred that is not worth it?
She asked Feng Yushu, "Among all the civil and military officials in the court, who else do you trust besides my father? I will invite him into the palace as well and let them tell you the truth."
Feng Yushu felt even more uneasy when she saw that Zhu Wuhuan was so frank and not afraid to confront others.
Could it be that her mother was really lying to her...
Could it be that her father was the one who first harmed people?
No...her father is not a bad man! No!
She clenched her fingers and looked at Zhu Wuhuan with tears in her eyes. "Your Majesty, you don't have to invite them. Even if they came, even if it was my father who made the mistake first, so what? My father was killed by the Emperor. Isn't that the truth? He was killed by someone. What's wrong with me avenging him?"
Zhu Wuhuan smiled.
She said, "Even if your father was wrong, so what? Child, it was your father who was wrong, so your father's death at the hands of your fifth uncle was what he deserved. Are you saying that your fifth uncle deserved to endure and suffer the consequences of your father's repeated attempts to murder him, and that he couldn't resist or retaliate against your father?"
She gazed at Feng Yushu gently and spoke softly.
"If that's what you think, then you should just endure being banished to the manor by your fifth uncle. Why do you hate your fifth uncle? In terms of cruelty, what your fifth uncle did to you and your brother wasn't even one-tenth of what your father did to him. If you can hate him, then why can't your fifth uncle hate your father?"
She stroked Feng Yushu's cheek. "You feel the pain when the knife pierces yourselves, but is your fifth uncle a man of steel who doesn't feel pain? He's been hurt so hard by your father time and time again that he's fighting back. If he doesn't fight back, he'll die. Do you understand?"
Feng Yushu bit her lower lip and looked at Zhu Wuhuan stubbornly.
She wanted to refuse to admit defeat, but her tears rolled down unexpectedly.
