King Wu's tyranny

  But just at the next moment, Lingling came back to her senses.

  Because she already knew where the young man was working, she wasn't afraid of being unable to find him in the future.

  Thinking of this, she gazed in the direction where the young man had left, her bright red lips slowly curving into a smile.

  In her beautiful eyes, sparkling with thought...

  ……

  "A Qiang, how come you just came out now? We thought you fell into the toilet pit! Ah, A Qiang, why are you all wet, what happened?"

  After seeing Su Ying appear, Da Hu immediately became concerned and asked in pursuit.

  Aming, who was waiting on the side, also looked puzzled.

  After all, they had been waiting here for almost an hour and were worried that Su Ying would have an accident inside, so they were just about to go in and take a look!

  Unexpectedly, Su Ying appeared at this time, and he was all wet, besides, he didn't come out from the Yihong courtyard, but from the other side of the street. Seeing this, both Da Hu and A Ming were puzzled.

  Seeing the puzzled and bewildered expressions on Da Hu and A Ming's faces, Su Ying was also at a loss for words.

  And this is not a good place to talk either.

  What's more, she was soaked from head to toe.

  Although it's summer now, but the gentle evening breeze blowing on me is still quite cold!

  Thinking of this, Su Ying couldn't help but let out a sneeze, and rubbed her slightly sore nose with one hand. Her expression clearly showed that she had caught a chill.

  Ah Ming, who was standing beside him, immediately spoke up to Da Hu.

  "Alright, Da Hu, don't ask A Ying these questions for now. A Ying is still all wet! You guys go back first and let A Ying change into some dry clothes!"

  "Oh dear, it's all my fault! I was so busy asking questions that I didn't notice these things. Ayin, let's go back! Ahming ge, you should also take Lianxin back too! It's already so late, and you still have to be on duty tomorrow!"

  "Alright then, let's go first, Da Hu, A Ying, see you tomorrow."

  A Ming finished speaking and left with Lotus Heart.

  Su Ying also felt a bit chilly, so she took Da Hu with her, and the two of them hurried back to the Wang mansion under the moonlight.

  ……

  As a first-class guard of the royal palace, whatever the master orders must be done quickly.

  If the master and servant have no instructions, they will always be on guard beside their masters, protecting their own comfort.

  Today, Su Ying and A Ming were on duty, so they stood guard outside Bi Yang Ge.

  At this moment, it is noon, and the outside is shining brightly. The golden sun is lavishly emitting endless charm, pouring the scorching sunlight onto the entire earth without cease.

  The originally lush green tree tops were all scorched by the excessively hot sunlight, causing the leaves to curl up and droop down listlessly.

  The cicadas on the tree seemed to be storing up endless power, and they kept chirping incessantly on the branches.

  Even the gentle breeze carried a lingering heat that refused to dissipate.

  In such hot weather, people always feel irritable and restless.

  Luckily, Su Ying and her colleagues were on duty in a cool place, otherwise they would have been sunstroke.

  However, at this time, the people who felt annoyed and irritable were not just these people on duty. Along with an unknown object thrown out from Biyang Pavilion.

  A crisp "ding" sound immediately rang out beside her ear.

  In an instant, the fine porcelain bowl was smashed to pieces, and the round dumplings inside were scattered all over the floor, making a mess.

  This crisp voice has been performed no less than five or six times this afternoon.

  With this momentum, immediately afterwards, a man's voice mixed with anger would be heard from inside.

  "No! Remake it for me! If you can't, then get out of here!"

  "Yes, yes, yes! Forgive me, Your Highness, I'll redo it right away..."

  Immediately afterwards, a frightened and panicked figure would roll out of the Biyang Pavilion like a rolling ball.

  Su Ying's beautiful eyes scanned and immediately recognized who this chubby person was.

  The head chef inside the Wang Fu! It is said that he was hired by the king with a large sum of money, and the dishes he made were even better than those in the imperial palace!

  In the past, I had never heard of the king being dissatisfied with the dishes made by this cook. I don't know what's wrong today, but this cook has been constantly scolded by the king. Moreover, the king specifically said he wanted to eat tangyuan today, but every time this cook brought in the tangyuan, it would be thrown out in less than a moment, accompanied by the king's fiery words!

  Su Ying was puzzled by this!

  Can it be that all the Tangyuan made by this chef are not delicious?!

  It shouldn't be, right?!

  But why is the king so furious today! The angry voice coming from inside, however, also carries a hint of inexplicable flavor...

  Thinking of this, Su Ying felt depressed and puzzled, and for the general chef who was rolling and crawling with a disappointed face, she was full of sympathy.

  However, at this moment, Su Ying heard a sigh coming from beside her ear.

  That sigh was soft in volume, but Su Ying's ears were sharp and she still heard it.

  Turning his head, he happened to see Ah Ming looking in the direction of the chef's departure, shaking his head and sighing.

  From Amin's face, it seemed like he knew something.

  Seeing this, Su Ying couldn't help but feel curious and asked in a low voice.

  "Aming, what's wrong with you?! By the way, is the Tangyuan made by this head chef really not delicious?! Why was Wangye so angry today?!"

  It's no wonder Su Ying feels strange.

  After all, in her cognition, this Fourth Prince was a person with unpredictable moods. Moreover, his emotions were not reflected on his face, just like even if the sky fell, he would remain expressionless.

  However, today was like eating firecrackers, which made Su Ying feel strange.

  Ah Ming, who was standing beside them, looked slightly stunned upon hearing Su Jing's words, as if he had realized something but was hesitant about how to speak up.

  Su Ying saw this, although she was puzzled in her heart, but couldn't bear to make things difficult for Ah Ming. After all, in this palace, there must be many secrets that were not known to others.

  Perhaps Ah Ming is hiding something from her because he is worried about something!

  Thinking of this, Su Ying didn't make things difficult for Ah Ming either, and smiled as she spoke.

  "Ahming, if it's difficult for you, then don't say anything, I understand."

  When Su Ying finished speaking, Ah Ming's face hesitated for a moment, then he immediately looked around vigilantly, and only when he found no one was around did he lean in close to Su Ying's ear, speaking in a mysterious low tone.

  "This matter is actually not a secret in the palace, many people know about it. Today, the prince's abnormal behavior is because today is the anniversary of Princess Shu's death."

  "Ah, Princess Shufei!?"

  At this point, Su Ying couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes in confusion.

  A Ming saw Su Ying's puzzled expression and knew that she was unclear about the situation, so he simply told her everything.

  Actually, this Shu Fei, is the king's biological mother, only, Shu Fei, in the twelfth year of the king's life, had already passed away. It is said that Shu Fei died of a sudden illness, but others say she was killed by the king. In the end, how Shu Fei died, is still a mystery!

  However, what's even stranger is that after the death of Empress Shu, the previous emperor also disappeared, and soon after, the new emperor, who is now the current ruler, ascended to the throne.

  At that time, rumors spread everywhere, saying that the Empress was killed by the King. After all, since the King's birth, because of his blood-red eyes, he was said to be a disaster for the country and the people by the national teacher, destined to kill his father and mother. Therefore, from an early age, the King did not receive the emperor's treatment, only Empress Shu treated him with great favor.

  It just so happened that on the day when Empress Shu died suddenly, the former emperor also disappeared. From then on, the prince's temperament changed greatly, becoming cold and ruthless, with a unpredictable mood. The rumors about the prince from outside were even more mysterious.

  "In the few years I've been in the Wang Fu, every time it's the anniversary of Shu Fei's death, the master becomes irritable and orders the chef to make a dish called Seven Color Soup Balls. Apparently, this was something Shu Fei used to make for him when she was young, but after her death, no one has been able to make Seven Color Soup Balls that meet his expectations."

  Upon hearing this, Su Ying's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Qī sè tāng wán! ?

  It seems that this cold and ruthless prince from the outside world is also a pitiful person!

  Was he really craving for the seven-colored soup balls or was it just a way to reminisce about his mother?

  At this point, Su Ying really felt a great deal of sympathy for the Fourth Prince.

  Although her parents were still alive since she was a child, they doted on her even more, and the family was warm and harmonious.

  But in the eyes of the world, the Fourth Prince who is rumored to be a changed person, although he was born with glory and wealth, wearing brocade and eating delicacies, without worrying about food or clothing, but is he really happy?

  He was born with a pair of bloodshot eyes, which was not what he wanted.

  But at a young age, he was already being hailed by the national teacher as an unlucky person, a scourge to the country and its people. Such a heavy crime, placed on his small head, how much pressure is that?

  His own dear father, ignoring him even more, must have chilled his heart!

  However, at that time, he still had a mother who doted on him. At least, even if everyone in the world abandoned and feared him, his mother would not leave him.

  But in the end, even his doting and caring mother left him...

  Thinking of this, Su Ying felt a pang of sadness and sympathy for the man in her heart.

  In his mind, he couldn't help but think of that one man in a red dress with an enchanting aura.

  Every time she met that man in red, it would make her feel unexpected.

  Moreover, every time, the man was taciturn, and that handsome face was calm and unruffled, as cold as ice.

  Perhaps he wasn't born this way, but rather had to use that aloof exterior to protect himself.

  Thinking of this, Su Ying couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, her heart feeling as if it was being pressed down by a huge boulder, making it hard for her to breathe.

  Ah Ming, who was standing beside them, saw Su Ying's originally calm demeanor turn into a sorrowful and silent expression after hearing his words, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

  "Aying, what's wrong with you?! Did you catch a cold yesterday?"

  "Ah, I'm fine, it's just..."

  At this point, Su Ying paused for a moment, then looked up at the golden sun above her head and the azure blue sky, and sighed.

  "I just think that Wang Ye is probably missing his mother a lot..."

  Su Ying said softly, her voice very low, but it was heartfelt. Her eyes turned red.

  Although she didn't have the experience of that man, but now her, what's the difference with being an orphan?!

  Originally, she had a very harmonious and happy relationship with a boyfriend of several years.

  However, she has now come to this unfamiliar dynasty by a twist of fate.

  Everything has been turned upside down.

  Here, she has no relatives, no friends, nothing at all. No loving parents, no beloved man, no favorite career, nothing is left.

  So now she's also starting to experience the feeling of losing a loved one. It's really so painful...

  Thinking of this, Su Ying felt a pang in her heart and her eyes grew hot.

  However, since she was young, she has been a strong and proud woman. Even if she was shot multiple times, as long as it wasn't fatal, she would grit her teeth and persevere, without shedding a single tear.

  But now, thinking about it, from then on, she would never be able to see her beloved parents again. Su Ying's heart felt sour.

  Just as Su Ying was sighing in her heart, she had no idea that just a wall away from her, a tall red-clothed man was standing quietly.

  The sun shines brightly on my head, in the courtyard, a hundred-year-old tree stands tall and proud, its branches and leaves lush and full, blocking out the scorching sunlight from outside, leaving only dappled spots of light, softly falling.

  The wind blows through the treetops, causing the leaves to sway back and forth constantly, making a soft "shhh" sound, such serenity.

  At this moment, under the big tree, a tall and slender man was standing there, no one knew when he had appeared.

  All that could be seen was that the man was extremely handsome, and on his face, which was as beautiful as a jade carving, his emotions were turbulent, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

  Those eyes, like rubies, shone with a fierce and terrifying aura due to anger.

  And those rose-colored lips were now pursed into a straight line, revealing the owner's discontent.

  However, when the man in a bad mood heard the words of the people outside the hospital, his face filled with extreme anger suddenly stiffened.

  Those bloodshot eyes also widened in shock!

  The sound of someone outside the courtyard sighing echoed in his ears.

  I just think that the king must be missing his queen mother a lot...

  Missing Mother Empress!？

  Yes!

  He must be missing his mother!

  From birth until now, everyone has been afraid of him, feared him, and kept their distance from him. They regard him as more terrifying than a venomous snake or a ferocious beast.

  Even his own father, his biological father, never looked at him with a straight eye, and in the end, he even hated him to the bone, hated him, hated him... wanted him dead!!!

  Only his mother queen had always been meticulous in loving him, caring for him and doting on him.

  Give him all your love.

  But as soon as he thought of that thing eleven years ago, the man's heart ached sharply, as if being cut by a knife.

  If it weren't for him, his mother might still be alive! Everything is because of him that his mother died...
