"I thought that even if I left, there would be many people to accompany you as you grow up, but I never expected that you would be the only one left in the end."

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

In fact, Zhu Yue had wanted to say these words to him a long time ago.

But these days he had been immersed in the emotion of loss and recovery, so Zhu Yue was unable to speak out, and felt that these words might just spoil the mood.

But now, she didn't think it was a spoiler, but instead felt that this was what had to be said!

He took a deep breath and then said sullenly, "No wonder you are like this. You blame me, and you have the right to do so."

Before his mother came back, Xiao Jingzheng naturally felt blame and resentment in his heart, but now that his mother was alive and well in front of him, how could he care about blame and resentment?

"Mother, I have never blamed you. I just think that maybe it's because I'm not good enough that you don't want to stay and accompany me to grow up."

Xiao Jingzheng lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes concealed the sadness and loss in his eyes very well.

He looked so cautious, where was there any trace of his previous brutality?

Hong Fu, who was standing aside, watching this scene, could not believe his eyes. He really did not expect that there was someone in this world who could make the emperor like this?

Who is Miss Su?

In front of her, the emperor is always particularly irritable. This girl is still good.

With Miss Su in the harem, there will be no peace at all!

However, although Hong Fu thought so in his heart, he did not dare to say it out loud. After all, he was just a servant, so how could he dare to speak of his master's affairs?

Su Xueyao originally thought that even if Xiao Jingzheng was willing to let her leave the palace, he would definitely send someone to follow her. But she never expected that it would be so smooth.

She changed several routes in succession, and after making sure that no one was following her, she not only did not feel happy at all, but instead felt a bit of indescribable anger.

Although Su Xueyao still didn't know where this inexplicable emotion came from, she just felt inexplicably unhappy.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the White Horse Temple!

This is where Qin Bi'an practices.

Although he became a monk, Qin Bian was still a famous young man in the capital. So even if he came here, the conditions for practice were not that harsh. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to avoid death, for he was afraid that the emperor would kill him because of Su Xueyao's matter.

But Qin Bian is afraid of death, and he is unclear with Su Xueyao and deliberately provokes her. No one knows what he is thinking.

"Brother Bi'an!"

Su Xueyao's voice was sweet, and she started calling Qin Bian's name from a distance.

"How dare you! Who is yelling in this peaceful Buddhist place?"

A majestic voice sounded, and then a middle-aged woman in purple clothes appeared in front of Su Xueyao. From the style of her clothes, it was obvious that she was a lady of noble title.

But when Su Xueyao was in the Su family, she was a concubine's daughter and was generally not allowed to go out. She knew nothing about the noble ladies and officials' wives in the capital, so she did not recognize the person in front of her.

However, Su Xueyao also knew that the capital was a place of wealth and glamor, and there were countless nobles here, like a swarm of fish crossing the river. She should still be cautious.

"I wonder which lady you are?"

Su Xueyao performed an awkward etiquette and asked.

The lady looked at her ignorant appearance with disdain and said angrily, "You are the daughter of the Su family after all. Even if you are a concubine who cannot be on the stage, you can't be so unruly, right? I am a second-rank imperial lady. When you see me, you must kneel down and kowtow!"

what?

Su Xueyao's expression changed immediately after hearing this.

"Madam, you don't really think that one's status can be determined by whether one is born of a legitimate or illegitimate child, right?"

"Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species? I think that all people in the world are born equal. No matter how noble your wife is, it's just because she was born into a good family and married a capable husband. What's so great about that?"

"Women should still rely on themselves. Relying on things given by others will not last long after all!"

Su Xueyao immediately began to make her own declaration of independence.

It's a pity that her words were considered heresy and nonsense in the eyes of those who had been influenced by feudal ethics since childhood.

The lady also had a bad temper and she gave the little girl beside her a look.

After seeing the lady's look, the girl didn't hesitate at all. She strode forward and slapped Su Xueyao hard.

"How dare you! You are just a concubine of the Su family, and you dare to be so disrespectful to our lady!"

"If the emperor hadn't looked at your seductive look for a few more times, you would have been beaten to death by a club!"

"You have received the emperor's grace, but you still don't serve him well, ruining the royal family's reputation, and you are still here flirting with Master Qin. You are simply shameless!"

The little girl was also quite good at talking, and she directly cursed out what the lady was thinking.

Ever since she followed Xiao Jingzheng, everyone looked at Su Xueyao differently, and they were all respectful to her.

After all, who doesn't know that she is the apple of the emperor's eye?

Su Xueyao had lived too many smooth lives and had forgotten that this world was one of hierarchy. This was the capital city and even the emperor couldn't live as he pleased, not to mention that she was just a concubine of the Su family.

If it weren't for Xiao Jingzheng's protection, he would have been beaten to death by now.

Su Xueyao covered her face and squinted at the maid: "Are you really willing to be a slave? Why? We are all human beings, why should we be inferior to others?"

"Miss Su, please be careful with your words."

"Although I am a servant, I am also a female official in the palace. I am completely different from a concubine like you who cannot be on the stage."

"You rely on the emperor's favor and ignore these rules. Miss Su, you will pay the price for your arrogance sooner or later!"

The maid snorted disdainfully and helped her mistress leave.

From beginning to end, the lady never looked at Su Xueyao directly, as if Su Xueyao was some dirty thing!

This made Su Xueyao furious. She gnashed her teeth and roared at the lady's back: "Sooner or later, I will make you regret what you did today!"

"Madam, she won't really tell the emperor, will she?"

The little girl looked at her wife with some worry.
