After the Chen delegation left, Gongye Ming came to bid farewell to Tian Yu, saying that the Emperor had summoned him back to his country. After saying goodbye, Tian Yu went back to her room, closed the door, and refused to see anyone. The next day, Zhao Moyan was released from prison and came to Tian Yu's door immediately. He stood there for a long time, but Tian Yu did not open the door. Tian Yu knew that with his abilities, he would surely find out the reason. She couldn't think of any other way to face him, so she chose not to see him. Perhaps this was the best and safest option for both of them.
"Tian Yu, what happened? What did the Emperor say to you?"
"No!"
"Really? Because of that divination? Is there really no possibility between us?"
"Please, stop asking, just leave! Don't come back."
"I told you, I won't let go."
Tian Yu slid down to the floor against the door, covering her mouth and crying silently, wondering why everyone else was blessed except her.
She didn't know how long she had been crying. It was already dark when Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum knocked on the door and said, "Madam, please open the door. The Marquis has already left."
Tian Yu then opened the door to let the two maids in. The two maids brought in food, but Tian Yu had no appetite. She took off her shoes and hid under the covers. Li Xingyun heard that Tian Yu had finally opened the door and wheeled himself in, saying, "Tian Yu, I don't need you to sacrifice for me. Get up."
“Tian Yu, my relationship with the princess doesn’t require you to sacrifice yourself. I won’t thank you for doing this.”
“Who did this for you! You wish!” Tian Yu said.
"Then get up and go talk to the Emperor. If you're going to trade your happiness for my and the princess's happiness, then I will not marry the princess!"
Tian Yu suddenly threw off the covers and shouted, "I already said it wasn't for you, so stop being so narcissistic, okay?"
"Then why did the person sent for the marriage change? And what's going on between you and the Marquis?!"
"The Emperor couldn't bear to part with his daughter, I did nothing!"
"Fine! You still won't tell the truth? As long as you and Zhao Moyan aren't together, the princess and I won't be together either."
"Whatever, I'm really annoyed right now. Could you please leave?" Tian Yu said, then crawled back under the covers.
Li Xingyun was furious, but he could also see that Tian Yu was very sad, so he had no choice but to leave first.
Qiuju tugged at Tianyu's blanket and said, "Madam, Uncle is feeling unwell. He had a fight with the princess this afternoon and smashed everything in the room. The princess left in tears. We don't know what happened, but you still need to eat. Otherwise, you'll wear yourself out and won't be able to wait for the young master to come back."
Tian Yu burst into tears under the covers. When she was exhausted from crying, she lifted the covers to wipe her tears and asked, "Is my brother hurt?"
Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum laughed and said, "No, it's just that our hands are a little scratched, but we won't let anyone touch them."
"Damn it! How old are you? You don't even know how to take care of yourself. Where's Xiao Wu? What's he doing?" Tian Yu said, getting out of bed and putting on her shoes.
"Xiao Wu has never seen his uncle lose his temper like this before, and he doesn't dare to go near him," Green Willow explained.
Tian Yu took the medicine from Xiao Wu's hand, went to Li Xingyun, pushed open the door and went in. Li Xingyun said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Hand!" Tian Yu said, grabbing Li Xingyun's hand, applying the medicine, and carefully bandaging it. She stood up, found a broom, and started cleaning up the bottles and jars that Li Xingyun had broken, saying, "Next time you lose your temper, can you please not smash things? These are very expensive."
"How much!? I'll pay you!"
"Accompany you? Forget it, I know exactly how much silver you have."
"Why exactly?"
"There's no reason why!"
"Then why did you send the glutinous rice balls away?"
"I was originally looking for a great mentor for him, and now this has come to me of its own accord. Isn't that wonderful? You know Mr. Wen's reputation!"
Aren't you afraid of them?
"Scared?! So what? It's better than staying here all the time!"
"Did the Emperor force you?"
No! Why are you forcing me to do anything?
"I've heard that Mr. Wen's divination that day was related to you?"
"What does it have to do with me to predict the fate of the nation? You can guess, brother. I'm fine now, so don't hold a grudge against the princess."
After comforting Li Xingyun, Tian Yu returned to her courtyard and told everyone to go back and rest. She sat on the swing and looked at the sky, tears streaming down her face. Tangyuan was gone, and now she couldn't even protect herself. Why should she worry about others? Tian Yu, you're really something. You finally managed to travel through time for a while and you're still living such a miserable life, being schemed against by a group of ancient people!
In the shadow of the courtyard wall, a dark figure stood there, looking up at the same starry sky as Tian Yu. Although he didn't know everything yet, he understood that he was able to come out so quickly because Tian Yu had gone to see the Emperor. He was in great pain and wanted to get closer to the figure on the swing, but he was also afraid, afraid of making things difficult for her, afraid of hurting her!
No matter how hard or tiring the planting season is, Tian Yu never misses it, and she certainly won't now. She's busy planting every day. After finishing planting in the yard, Tian Yu found a way to buy a large plot of land in the suburbs, intending to plant everything she wants. It's time to fulfill her promise to Prince Wu. With Prince Wu's help, Tian Yu bought a large plot of land in the suburbs and is now just waiting to plant it.
Since that day, Tian Yu deliberately avoided Zhao Moyan, and the two drifted further and further apart. Everyone saw it but could do nothing about it. Fortunately, not long after, Zhao Moyan was sent to the southwest to suppress bandits. Tian Yu dared not see him off, but could only secretly watch him from afar at the crossroads he passed, hiding in the woods. This task of suppressing bandits was not supposed to be his, but for some reason, the Emperor intended for him to go, and Zhao Moyan was also eager to go. Tian Yu was very worried that this was a conspiracy by the Emperor, but what could she do? She could only watch helplessly and pray in her heart that he would be safe. For this, she, who had never believed in Buddhism, even went to the temple to pray.
