Su Qi's heart was also fluctuating up and down as she felt uneasy.
This was the heyday of feudalism. It was very likely that the emperor would make his subjects lose their lives if he was unhappy. She didn't know why, but although she had only seen this father a few times in her daze, she felt a sense of kinship.
I hope that nothing will happen to my father. Otherwise, I will blame myself for the rest of my life.
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she had unknowingly arrived at the palace gates. Su Qi let out a long sigh, pulled open the curtain, and got off the carriage. The tall red city walls were filled with armored soldiers. Black flags fluttered in the wind. Although there were patrolling soldiers passing by, there was no sound other than footsteps. It gave people a solemn feeling. This was the palace gate. Once they entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea.
At that moment, a soldier stopped Ye Suqi and said expressionlessly,""Who are you?"
"I'm General Ye Chen's daughter, I have something to ask the emperor.”
The soldier said coldly,"You can't enter the palace without being summoned. Leave quickly."”
Su Qi wanted to defend herself but was stopped by Cyanosis. "Miss, you can't go in like this. Please wait a little longer. Guard Mo will be here soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of horse hooves. Mo Hen was holding something in his hand as he ran towards Su Qi.
"Miss, this is the imperial sword bestowed by the previous emperor. It can strike down the fatuous monarch and kill the treacherous officials.”Mo Hen raised his sword and knelt on one knee as he spoke.
Su Qi picked up the sword with one hand and helped Mo Hen up. She thanked him softly and told Cyan to wait there while she turned around and walked towards the palace gate. This time, no one dared to stop her, but she did not know where she should go.
Just as Su Qi was wondering how to leave, a young eunuch walked over quickly and asked in a low voice,""Young lady is General Ye's daughter?”
Su Qi nodded in agreement. She thought to herself that this voice was as unpleasant as a duck's. She could not help but feel embarrassed. Although it had passed in the blink of an eye, she did not know that it had already fallen into the eyes of others.
"Miss Ye, please follow me. This servant will bring you to the royal study.”As the young eunuch spoke, he led Su Qi in a direction.
Although Su Qi had doubts in her heart, there was nothing she could do. She asked in a low voice,""Eunuch, may I ask who entrusted you?”
The eunuch did not even raise his head and only said,""Miss Ye, please don't make things difficult for this servant."
When she heard this, Su Qi could only suppress the doubts in her heart and follow them silently. She would check the surroundings from time to time. It had to be said that this palace was not a place that ordinary people could live in. It looked like a square pavilion, but it had its own unique characteristics. There were exquisite carvings, strange potted plants, and the dazzling appearance. Su Qi could not help but be stunned. A helpless expression appeared on her face. It was indeed the place where the so-called emperor lived.
"Miss Ye, the royal study is in front. This servant will take his leave first.”With that, the young eunuch left without looking back.
Su Qi wanted to ask something, but the eunuch had already left. Helplessly, she could only take a deep breath and walk forward alone. As expected, after taking a few steps, she saw the back of the kneeling figure.
Su Qi stopped in her tracks and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar back. Her eyes could not help but heat up, and she felt as if her heart had turned upside down. She could not say what she felt. She walked over slowly and clenched her fists. She told herself or Ye Suqi that this was her father, her father for life.
" Father…" Su Qi walked to Ye Chen's side and squatted down.
Ye Chen was stunned. He frowned and looked at Su Qi, slightly angry."Why are you here? Damn it, who allowed you to come? Go back quickly.”
Su Qi looked at her father and said softly,""Father, I don't want to marry anymore. I don't want Premier Xiao anymore. Let's go home.”
Ye Chen looked at his daughter in confusion. After a while, he sighed and said,""Silly child, your father has already said that I will definitely get what you want for you. You don't have to worry about me. Just wait at home for your father's good news and get married. Be good, go back quickly."
When Su Qi saw Ye Chen's expression of disbelief, she could not help but feel anxious. "Father, will I really be happy with this marriage? I'm afraid that we'll be even more annoyed in the future. I don't love him anymore. Isn't it enough that I've already died for him once? The feelings I had for him disappeared the moment he pushed me into the lake.”
Ye Chen looked at Su Qi in shock. He never knew that his daughter could let go of her stubbornness like this. "Hahaha, good, this is my good daughter.”
At this moment, the door to the royal study opened. A eunuch walked out and said in a unique tone,""General Ye, the emperor said that since Young Lady Ye has thought it through, she should return to the residence. She has been kneeling for half a day and shouldn't hurt her body.”As she spoke, she helped Ye Chen up.
Ye Chen bowed towards the royal study and said,""Eunuch Jin, help this old man apologize to the emperor.”
Eunuch Jin smiled and nodded slightly, then walked back to the royal study.
"Father, let's go home. I'll be filial to you and accompany you in the future.”Su Qi said as she supported her father.
Ye Chen smiled in relief when he saw that Su Qi had let go of everything. "Silly girl, how can you spend your whole life accompanying your father to get the truth? When your daughter grows up, she will have to marry someone.”
Su Qi only smiled and did not say anything.
How could there be a good husband here? Who would give up three wives and four concubines for her? Did she have to give up the persistence in her heart to integrate into this society? However, monogamy has existed in my life for 18 years. How can I let it go so easily?
As she thought about it, a devilish face suddenly appeared in her mind. Su Qi couldn't help but laugh at herself.
At this moment, if Su Qi turned around, she would see that the man she called a demon was standing not far away and looking at her. His fox-like eyes were shining with a hint of doubt and confusion. There was a smile on his lips. He looked gentle, but there was also a hint of alienation.
On the other side, in the royal study, a cold-faced man was wearing a long black robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. His deep eyes were cold, and his cold face gave off an invisible pressure that made people feel suffocated. He was the lord of the Xili Dynasty, Xiliyuan.
At this moment, he was listening to Eunuch Jin's reply. His eyes flashed with a dark light from time to time, revealing some kind of inexplicable interest.
