The traitor Prince An was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum for life, stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner, and was not allowed to die in peace. Prince An's followers strangled him to death.
In the fifth year of Dongxu Linlan, Empress Dowager Xian Xiaochang passed away. The emperor issued an edict that the whole country should mourn for three years and no marriages were allowed.
In the fifth year of Dongxu Linlan's reign, the commoner Yan Qu died suddenly without anyone noticing. Half a month later, the servants discovered that his body was rotting in the room.
In the thirteenth year of Dongxu Linlan, the chief minister Su Yu resigned and returned to his hometown.
"Master, where are you going?"
When Princess Yu Ning heard that Su Yu was going to resign, she immediately came to make a scene and refused to leave. When Empress Dowager Xian Xiaochang was still alive, she asked Yu Ning to become Su Yu's disciple. It can be said that the princess was raised by Su Yu since she was a child.
Su Yu looked at the girl in front of him who was as tall as his waist. She looked more and more like her mother, and there was a bit of Su Yu's shadow in her eyes and eyebrows.
I don't know if it's because Yu Ning is his own flesh and blood, or because she looks like that person, but the Prime Minister, who always keeps people at a distance, actually coaxed her in a gentle voice:
"My health is not good, and the emperor is now fully capable of governing the country. I have no reason to hold on to it."
Yu Ning knew that although his brother respected the Prime Minister, what emperor would not be afraid of powerful officials?
"But...but after you leave, my brother will bully Ning'er!"
The girl tightly grasped Su Yu's sleeve. In a trance, Su Yu seemed to see that cunning woman also playing tricks and making a scene in the same way.
Su Yu came back to his senses, rubbed Yuning's head, and spoke with infinite tenderness:
"He doesn't dare. Even if he does, your uncle will be the first one to not let him go."
What's more, Yan Shian has not found the missing half-tiger talisman yet, and Su Yu has resigned, but that doesn't mean anyone can take advantage of Yu Ning.
Yu Ning bit her lip. She knew it, and besides, Brother Shi An had always treated her very well.
"Ning'er can't bear to leave you..."
Su Yu put away the smile on his face, and his gentleness was gone, and his mouth was pressed into a straight line:
"The eldest princess."
Yu Ning let go of her hand hurt. She knew that when her master had this expression, it meant he was angry.
Su Yu saw that he had frightened the little girl, and sighed helplessly, and ordered the maid behind Yuning:
"Take the princess back. I'll take my leave first, princess. Take care."
Looking at Su Yu's departing figure, Yu Ning could no longer hold back her tears and sobbed softly, "Dad..."
In fact, Yu Ning knew everything. Before leaving, Qiao Yu told her who her biological father was, and she also knew why her mother, who was so weak, insisted on giving birth to her.
Because I am the only one around, Daddy will not die with Mommy, and will not have any thoughts of rebellion. Mommy wants to protect her brother, uncle, and her, but she forgets Daddy.
How could Su Yu, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, not hear the call behind him? He paused and his eyes became moist. Perhaps she still had a place for him in her heart, so she told Yu Ning who she was.
Even if it was a small position, he was satisfied.
After returning to the mansion, Su Yu arranged everything. After washing up, he lay on the bed, holding the hairpin that had been used to express their love tightly in his hand. He closed his eyes contentedly and passed away.
Qiao Qiao, don't be afraid, I'm here to find you, don't blame me for being too late...
It’s okay to blame me, I will always comfort you.
