"Father," Yun Zishu said to the emperor, "I remember, princes and princesses with titles in the royal family can have their own houses."
The emperor's face was as dark as water, and he nodded slowly: "Indeed. So didn't I give you this mansion before?"
"As the legitimate daughter of my father, and also the princess who protects the country, I am even more noble." Yun Zishu looked calm and spoke according to the rules. "My son has the right to protect the consort."
If the father really wants my son to get back together with Xiao Yunheng, he can agree to let Xiao Yunheng move to the princess mansion."
What?
Several people in the hall were shocked.
"How is this possible?" Yun Chen stood up first, "This is simply ridiculous!"
"No!" Mrs. Xiao refused without thinking, "How can Yun Heng, a man, move to the princess mansion?"
Yun Zishu looked at her mockingly, "Why not?"
Mrs. Xiao's face looked ugly.
"Everything I say is in compliance with the laws of the royal family. If Mrs. Xiao feels it is inappropriate, you might as well give a reason why it is inappropriate." Yun Zishu said coldly, "It's because I don't want to live in the Xiao family. From now on, you guys
Can’t you control me?”
"Zishu!" the emperor shouted, "don't talk nonsense."
Yun Zishu lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, she was not talking nonsense.
After being reborn, she knew that she had no strong protection and everything needed to be done step by step. However, she did not want to be wronged again, and she could no longer force herself to compromise on anything.
Since her father wanted her to die, she was always ready to put herself to death. In this case, what else did she have to worry about?
"Father, I will not go to the Xiao family again." Yun Zishu's attitude was respectful, but her tone was firm, "If my father is unhappy, I would rather die."
What she meant was very clear.
If the emperor or the prince wanted to accuse her of resisting the imperial decree, he would simply give her death. She would rather die than return to the Xiao family.
Anyway, her mother is gone, and there is no family behind her that will be affected by her. It is better to die as a carefree person than to be manipulated by others throughout her life.
General Xiao and his wife looked gloomy, obviously very dissatisfied with Yun Zishu's decision, and Yun Chen also stared at Yun Zishu coldly.
Only the emperor was silently meditating, as if he was considering the feasibility of this. After a moment, he slowly raised his head and looked outside the hall. Si Cang, dressed in black robes, stood there silently, with a cold and sharp aura, like a
A sword with a handle ready to be unsheathed.
The emperor couldn't help but think that it was okay for Xiao Yunheng to live in the princess mansion. As long as Si Cang gave up his heart and slowly lost his feelings for Zi Shu, he would naturally stop interfering in the affairs of the Xiao family and Zi Shu. It would not be too late for Xiao Yunheng to coax Zi Shu back when the time comes.
.
It's better to be near the water than to be frozen like this.
There was a long silence in the hall, no one spoke.
Yun Zishu lowered her head and sneered in her heart. She had already calculated that her father would not be able to watch her break up with Xiao Yunheng. If she had a choice, his father would probably want to kill her right now.
But he has scruples.
In this case, there are some things where both parties must compromise and take a step back, otherwise she would rather die.
"Xiao Qing." The emperor looked up at Xiao Yuanting, "What do you think?"
Before Xiao Yuanting could speak, Mrs. Xiao's expression suddenly changed: "Your Majesty?"
"I will listen to your Majesty's decision." Xiao Yuanting said, "I am also willing to respect Her Royal Highness the Princess's decision."
Since the outcome is already determined, taking the initiative to show weakness will definitely please the emperor more than being forced to compromise.
"...That's it for the time being." The emperor said, deliberately emphasizing the word "for the time being", "When Yun Heng's injury improves, we will move to the princess mansion."
Yun Zishu continued to add more emphasis: "My son married into the Xiao family before and didn't take any maids with him. After Xiao Yunheng moved here, my son also hoped that he would take no one with him."
The emperor's face was as dark as water.
"Yes." Xiao Yuanting nodded respectfully, "I will make arrangements, and everything will be subject to the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Mrs. Xiao's face was ashen and she couldn't help but cursed this little bitch in her heart again. She did it on purpose and wanted to take revenge on them!
The emperor looked at her: "Do you have any other requests?"
"Not for the time being." Yun Zishu thought for a moment, "If there is a need in the future, I will have someone notify General Xiao."
Emperor Zhaoming looked at Yun Zishu, and his voice was full of imperial pressure: "I hope that you and Yun Heng will resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible and that your husband and wife will be harmonious. If your relationship is good in the future, you can move to Xiao's house anytime you want."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she was slightly startled, as if she suddenly understood what the emperor meant.
Yun Zishu refuses to go back to the Xiao family now because she has been wronged in the Xiao family, so she doesn't dare to go back. She temporarily asks Yun Heng to move to the princess's house, near the water and terrace, so that he can coax her to change her mind. They will have a relationship in the future.
Things got better, but Yun Zishu was still at the mercy of the Xiao family.
Mrs. Xiao thought that Yun Zishu was married to Yun Heng after all, and she would never marry another man in her life. As long as Yun Heng treated her better, she would not be tempted.
Now she just blames Yun Heng for favoring Li Xue, so she has a petty temper.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt a little better.
Both parties took a step back and this problem was temporarily solved. However, neither the emperor nor his son nor Xiao Yuanting and his wife expected that the day Xiao Yunheng stepped into the princess mansion, it would mean the gradual destruction of the Xiao family.
Yun Zishu has experienced the feeling of being isolated and helpless. In her previous life, no one reached out to save her in the Xiao family until she died. Now she is facing the same situation back to Xiao Yunheng - but Xiao Yunheng is different from her.
The legitimate son of the Xiao family is the favorite of Xiao Yuanting and Mrs. Xiao. As long as they have this person in their hands, they are not afraid of the Xiao family and his wife disobeying them.
The emperor thought that she was still the daughter who obeyed him before, and the Xiao family also thought that she was just losing her temper. Little did they know that every move Yun Zishu made now was for revenge and to pave the way for herself.
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has forgiven Yun Heng, can Li Xuan and Li Xue be released?" Mrs. Xiao hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't hold back and said, "Li Xuan and Li Xue are both guilty of the following. I don't think so."
I dare to ask the princess for forgiveness, but the Shadow Pavilion is really an uneasy place. I beg the princess to be kind and treat them lightly."
Yun Zishu was particularly easy to talk to this time: "The affairs of Shadow Pavilion are made by Commander-in-Chief. After Xiao Yunheng moves here, I will intercede with Commander-in-Chief to see if I can be lenient with them."
She is a victim. As long as the victim is willing to forgive, the following crimes can naturally be mitigated as appropriate.
This is a legal provision that applies to both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple interrogations. As long as she opens her mouth, Sicang can no longer imprison Li Xuan and Li Xue on the grounds of rules.
So Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
After this meeting, all the problems were barely solved, but Mrs. Xiao secretly said that the emperor still needed to come forward.
What can a little princess do no matter how hard-tempered she is? Sooner or later she has to return to the Xiao family obediently.
