"Come here, drag her out for me. Since she can't serve the master well, what's the point of keeping her?" Yinzhen's voice was cold and stern, with an innate imperial aura that made people tremble with fear.
Seeing someone coming up and pulling Hui Xin away, Jiang Ranli hurriedly said, "It was me who wanted to stand outside. If the Fourth Master wants to punish me, please punish me. It has nothing to do with Hui Xin."
Yinzhen didn't listen to her and just signaled to take Huixin away.
Jiang Ranli stared at him blankly, Hui Xin's voice begging for mercy ringing in her ears. She knew before that he was indifferent and decisive, but since he succeeded to the throne, his temperament has become even colder and more severe, making people dare not get close to him.
After the Yangxin Palace returned to calm, Yinzhen took Jiang Ranli's hand and walked into the palace. His hand was big and strong, and even though Jiang Ranli tried hard to break free, she could not get free.
"Miss Jiang, the weather is extremely cold today. The emperor has been thinking about you since the previous dynasty, so he hurried back after handling state affairs," Su Peisheng said, trying to ease the atmosphere between Jiang Ranli and Yinzhen.
However, Yinzhen was a little impatient, and Jiang Ranli remained unmoved.
"Fourth Master, can you let Hui Xin go?" Thinking of Hui Xin's frightened cry for mercy, Jiang Ranli felt guilty. Just because she stood outside for too long, she harmed a good girl.
Yinzhen glanced at her coldly and said, "Li'er, remember, if you can't take good care of yourself, the people around you will suffer."
Jiang Ranli nodded, "Okay, I can take care of myself, can you let her go?"
Yinzhen looked at her steadily, with a mocking smile in his cold eyes. She would plead for an unrelated palace maid, and would pity and feel sorry for a palace maid, but she would not even consider his sincerity.
Looking at Yinzhen who was suppressing his anger, Su Peisheng was so scared that he dared not even breathe. He had served Yinzhen since he was a child and knew that Yinzhen was extremely angry at this time.
"Su Peisheng, go down."
When Su Peisheng was terrified and didn't know what to do, Yinzhen's ice-cold voice made him tremble with fear, and he hurried out of the palace the next second.
Only Jiang Ranli and Yinzhen were left in the huge palace. Jiang Ranli wanted to stay away from Yinzhen, but he held her hand tightly.
"Jiang Ranli, when will you see me?" Yinzhen spoke in a very low voice.
"Fourth Master, when will you be able to see your own heart clearly?" Jiang Ranli asked back.
Yinzhen frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Fourth Master, you always say that you love me and like me, but do I have to respond to your likes? Do I have to respond to every person who likes me and commit myself to them? In this world, not all likes will be responded to, so what we have to do is not to force it, but to learn to let go. It's not that I can't see Fourth Master's heart, but that Fourth Master, you can't see your own heart clearly," Jiang Ranli replied.
It is extremely rare to get what you want in this world, and it is even more common to be loved but not be able to get it. Therefore, we must learn to let go and not hurt others or ourselves.
Yinzhen laughed. He looked into Jiang Ranli's stubborn eyes and then pulled her into his arms. "Since I was born, I have never liked anything, because even if I liked it, I couldn't get it or keep it. But you have to know that it's not that I don't like it, but that I'm afraid of liking it. People all say that I'm greedy for power and want to usurp the throne, but they don't know that if I'm not the emperor, my life will go against my wishes."
