[Since then, every time my sister saw the Emperor, she was terrified, afraid that he would kill her.]
[Because, in the official plot, there were only a few mentions after the Emperorâs sudden death, and this part of the story was glossed over. I didnât think much of it; I just felt the Emperor was a lunatic.]
[If he liked my sister, did he want to kill her because he felt he was going to die too? Or was it because she was betrothed to King Qi, and he despaired?]
[Damn, how absurd! Back then, the Emperor was only twelve, and my sister was seven. Is it possible to have romance at such a young age?]
[Sure enough, itâs the world of novels where some things are just beyond normal understanding.]
[...]
Upon hearing these thoughts, everyone was silent, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
Did this happen the night Yaoâer was betrothed?
The Emperor, back then, actually wanted to kill Yaoâer?
Lady Yun clutched her heart tightly, panicked yet relieved. She almost lost Yaoâer forever; fortunately, the Emperor chose to give up in the end.
She couldnât imagine how painful it would be if she had really lost Yaoâer back then.
The more she thought about it, the more suffocated she felt. Lady Yunâs face turned pale, and she began to resentfully blame the Emperor.
How could he, for his selfish desires, disregard her as a mother?
If anything had happened to Yaoâer, wouldnât it have been like stabbing her motherâs heart and taking her life?
Even Yun Zhan, Yun Wanchen, and Yun Wanye found it hard to believe. Could the Emperor have been so paranoid and dark during his youth?
After a moment of shock, Yun Wanye felt a faint regret rise in his heart.
No wonder Yun Wanyao panicked at the mention of the Emperor, like a mouse seeing a cat, terribly frightened. He thought she was timid but didnât realize there were such secrets behind it.
She was clearly so afraid of the Emperor, yet he manipulated her to actively approach the Emperor and seduce him. Alas, those people who cursed him were right; he really isnât human.
He truly made a mistake. He shouldnât have targeted her.
But itâs too late to say anything now.
"Yun Wanye, do you dare say you did nothing? Would Yaoâer willingly enter the palace if you did nothing? Sheâs your sister! How could you treat her like this?"
"I thought you were targeting King Qi, but it turns out, you were targeting Yaoâer."
"If King Qi finds out one day that Yaoâer climbed high and stepped low, actively approached the Emperor, then dumped him, heâll be humiliated, right? Wouldnât he resent Yaoâer forever after?"
"Are you determined to ruin Yaoâer?"
"Why did I give birth to such an unrestrained jerk like you? Canât you stay out of trouble for one day?"
Lady Yun glared at him and unleashed a torrent of scolding.
In Lady Yunâs view, letting Yun Wanyao cozy up to the Emperor and abandon King Qi was far worse than forcibly breaking the engagement outright.
No man can tolerate his fiancĂ©e dumping him to cozy up to another man; let alone, King Qi isnât a typical man.
Where does this leave his princely dignity?
Where does this leave his face?
Yun Wanye: "..."
"Yes, yes, mother is right. I am a jerk. I have realized my mistake. This matter is my fault to Yun Wanyao. I will make it up to her in the future..."
He sincerely repented and apologized.
At the same time, he was already planning in his mind to find time in the next few days to see the Emperor.
No matter what happens, he absolutely wonât let Mo Yuanhao mark the dissolution of the engagement against Yun Wanyao.
If the Emperor isnât willing to offend Mo Yuanhao by taking responsibility for this, then heâll take it all upon himself.
It is a fact that, to be with the Princess, he forced Yun Wanyao to find the Emperor to dissolve the engagement, so this explanation is definitely convincing.
If Mo Yuanhao wants revenge, he should come after him.
As for Yun Wanyao actively seducing the Emperor, he had dismissed all the palace attendants that day in advance. Only the Emperor and their family knew about it; the Emperor and the family wouldnât speak, and Mo Yuanhao wouldnât know.
With a plan in mind, Yun Wanye felt more at ease.
His attitude was so good in admitting wrongdoing that Lady Yun didnât know how to continue reprimanding him. She simply gave a warning and shut her mouth.
"Yun Wanye, I warn you, if this matter settles down and Yaoâer somehow gets hurt in the future because of it, I wonât let you off."
"Yes, I remember, mother."
He continued to respond with a good attitude.
[The whole story finally became clear, but now thereâs a new problem; will my sister have to enter the palace in the future?]
