Chapter 94 It's all a dream
Xiao Qing shoved him away, took two steps down, then stopped, clenching her fists. Her face was full of anger, yet she seemed resigned to her fate, saying without restraint, "You just want to change the puppet, don't you? Just say it, and you can have anything you want. Why do something so shameless! I never thought you were this kind of person! And yet I..."
She felt unsteady and weak, as if she were walking in a fog or floating cloud. All she wanted to do was walk faster, faster.
Forget it, it's pointless.
What's there to say?
Mingxiu quickly got up and followed, her heart filled with anxiety and worry.
Ying Yingze also remembers carrying two cats with her.
Fu Mingyi stood there watching their hurried departure, his gaze lingering on Ying Ying for a few more seconds.
Xiao Qing stepped into her bedroom, turned around and closed the door, then began to tear at her clothes.
She now utterly loathed this brightly colored dress embroidered with flying dragons and auspicious clouds.
Mingxiu frantically pounded on the door from outside, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Qing took off her coat and threw off her shoes, then went to bed wearing only her stockings. But when she got to the bed, she found the color and pattern of the bedding to be an eyesore, so she angrily pulled and tugged at it, dragging the quilt, pillows and other items to the ground.
I can't lie down in bed anymore.
She turned her head and looked around, finding fault with everything, so wherever she went, there was a clattering sound, and in an instant, the hall was a mess.
Mingxiu grew increasingly worried, and the knocking on the door became even more urgent.
"Your Majesty, let Mingxiu look at you." Although she didn't know what was going on, she was a little flustered by the Grand Tutor's actions and Xiao Qing's last words.
There have been some rumors circulating in the palace lately, and she didn't dare tell Xiao Qing, but secrets never stay hidden forever.
Mingxiu knew that His Majesty was already facing immense difficulties due to his status, and if the Grand Tutor were to act so recklessly...
"His Majesty……"
The sounds, varying in pitch, continued to echo inside the hall.
Mingxiu was so anxious she was about to cry. "Your Majesty, Mingxiu won't leave. Please... don't hurt yourself. Let Mingxiu see you, okay..." She felt heartbroken and soon burst into tears.
Yingying saw that the situation was really bad and was about to offer some words of comfort when she suddenly saw a shadow behind her.
He turned around alertly, only to find it was the Grand Tutor.
He actually came?
Ying Ying unconsciously stood in front of the door and said in a deep voice, "His Majesty is resting."
Mingxiu realized someone had come, so she quickly wiped away her tears, turned around, but didn't know what to say.
"too……"
Fu Mingyi gestured for her to be quiet, and only stood by the door for a while. When he heard the sounds inside gradually subside, he left.
"There's no need to mention that I was here."
As he walked out, Ma Hongzheng, his forehead covered in sweat, jogged over. Upon seeing him, he quickly bowed but dared not leave.
Fu Mingyi said in a low voice, "Your Majesty does not know what medicine Wu Shi needs, so please speak frankly."
Just as he was about to walk over, Ma Hong finally couldn't hold back.
"Grand Tutor..."
But Fu Mingyi ignored him completely and walked away.
Ma Hong sighed inwardly. He had so much to say, but he couldn't utter a single word.
When he arrived at Xiao Qing's bedchamber, Mingxiu gave him a cold look.
He knelt directly in front of the door, knowing that this was what he deserved.
To his utter surprise, Liu Yi overheard his conversation with the Grand Tutor and subsequently took this action.
His thoughts drifted back to when he saw Liu Yi and Dan Ying off.
Liu Yi patted him on the shoulder one last time and forced a smile, "Brother stole your opportunity, don't blame me. It was just too tough."
But he didn't believe it.
Inside Chengguang Palace, Xiao Yan still stood on the high pavilion, with a clear sky behind him and scorching sunlight. In front of him were Liu Yi, Dan Ying, and Xiao Xiao, who had tried to escape several times but was held tightly in Dan Ying's arms and meowing.
He walked over, pinched the little ear, and laughed.
"I said we would meet again."
He picked up Xiao Xiao and pinched its tail. "I will treat you well."
She took a tiny bite out of his hand.
Xiao Yan winced in pain, but only trembled slightly. He gripped the little tail tightly with his other hand, staring coldly at it, without letting go of either hand.
Little Xiao had never suffered like this before. It felt its tail was in so much pain, as if it were about to break off, that it opened its mouth and began to struggle.
Xiao Yan slowly loosened his grip, "Good boy, that's right."
Dan Ying was terrified and lowered her head even further.
Xiao Yan smiled, his voice barely audible.
"You don't need to be afraid of me. I'm just a bastard who survived by sheer luck in the cold palace. Your fate is the same as mine; we're all being led by the strings..."
His hand slowly and gently stroked the small, long tail, his smile perfect yet revealing a gloomy and strange undertone.
He casually pulled a small porcelain bottle from his person, walked forward and handed it to Liu Yi, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down. He loosely pinched the round mouth of the bottle with only two fingers and squatted down.
"The Grand Tutor said this is a reward for you. Are you happy?"
Liu Yi accepted the porcelain bottle with both hands, his face filled with joy and gratitude. "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Grand Tutor."
Xiao Yan accepted the offer with a smile, got up and walked back, his gaze passing through the small garden and looking in the direction of Chengde Palace.
"Since you are my servant, you shall stay with me."
He saw the Grand Tutor walking slowly in the small garden, and his gaze followed him. At such a young age, a complex emotion had already been planted in his eyes that was hard to erase.
He thought to himself: Xiao Qing, do you know how happy you are?
Xiao Qing, however, plopped down on the ground, feeling that she couldn't be any more unlucky.
Whether destruction is the best way to vent emotions or not, she seemed to feel a little calmer after smashing a bunch of things.
However, the hall was so chaotic that she had almost nowhere to stand.
It's like the sky wanting to rain, or a mother wanting to remarry—it's all up to her.
However, she probably still has one more request for the Grand Tutor.
Mingxiu must leave the palace. Her safety and that of Physician He must be guaranteed.
It would be best if Ying also left the palace.
The kittens also left the palace.
She should just pretend that the absurdity of the past few months was all a dream. Even if she can't go back to that world, she can't let herself get lost in it.
The thought of having to see Fu Mingyi again, and having to submit to him and ask him for favors, made Xiao Qing feel irritable again.
Let's wait and find a good opportunity to gain the Grand Tutor's sympathy.
Xiao Qing touched her slightly damp eyes, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips.
The commotion in the palace was so great that it reached King Xiang's ears.
Wang Xiang laughed heartily, slapping his knee with his large hand, and looked at Mr. Sun with a smile, "I originally thought it would be troublesome, but now it seems that Fu Mingyi's actions will eventually lose the hearts of the people. Does he think he can just pick anyone to become the emperor?"
Mr. Sun stroked his chin. "Logically speaking, Fu Mingyi shouldn't have done such a thing."
Wang Xiang sneered, "Mr. Sun, have you heard that his sister is currently in Yongxiao Palace, and is the wife of the barbarian traitor, the Prince Lie?"
