Dou Huiran's legs softened and she almost fell to the ground.
She held onto the desk to support her weak body, unable to believe what she heard.
What they said was like a bolt from the blue, making her eyes black, her face pale, and her whole body crumbling.
"It's impossible..." She murmured to herself, her lips trembling, "It's impossible, this is impossible..."
The truth shouldn't be like this...
"Your father, for his own selfish reasons, framed his immediate boss, causing Su Shangshu's family to be exiled. He was worried that his father would pardon the Su family's crimes later, so he set up an ambush in the exile map and killed everyone in the Su family." Rong Li's voice Indifferently, there was no emotion at all when he heard it, "The purpose of my king marrying you is to gain your father's power. Although you are innocent, dozens of people in the Su family are even more innocent. These are all the sins your father has done." .”
After a pause, Rong Li raised his eyes slightly: "Su Yao was only four years old back then and has grown up in Jiaoshifang these years. Dou Huiran, if you think you are innocent, then do you think Su Yao is innocent?"
Dou Huiran fell weakly on the couch, the handkerchief in his hand was tightly tightened, and the veins on the back of his pale hand were bulging.
"My father..." She shook her head hard, "Why did he do this? He had no reason to do this..."
"Because he was a member of Gu's party and took orders from Concubine Gu." Rong Li gave her a fatal blow. "And because Concubine Gu promised him that as soon as Su Shangshu dies, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be his. This is reason."
Dou Huiran listened blankly, the color drained from his face: "This is not true, I...I want to go back and ask, I want to ask my father..."
Did his father get his current position by framing his boss? He still has so many lives on his hands?
No, not possible.
My father is not such a person...
"After knowing the truth, do you think I will let you go back?" Rong Li stood up and looked at her calmly, "Although I have used you, I can ensure that you continue to enjoy prosperity for the rest of your life, even if the entire Dou family is in the future Even if you are killed, you will not be implicated. This is my compensation to you."
"I don't want such compensation! I don't care!" Dou Huiran suddenly broke out and shouted at Rong Li fiercely, "Why did you treat me like this? What did I do wrong? I don't know anything! What happened back then was related to me What's the relationship? Why must the Su family be framed? Why aren't these lies you made up? If you don't let me go back to see my father, how do I know that what you say is true? Rong Li, I don't believe it. I wouldn't believe it to my death. !”
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Rong Li obviously didn't care whether she was sad or desperate, "The truth of the year will not change whether you believe it or not, but the blood debt needs to be paid with blood, and your father will definitely die -"
"Your Majesty!" Dou Huiran fell to his knees on the ground, interrupted him hastily, looked up at him, and begged, "Your Majesty, he is your father-in-law! Please let your father go! I...I won't I'm going to file a complaint. I will stay in my house peacefully from now on and never go out to see anyone again. Can you let my father go? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Su!"
She turned and knelt down to Su Yao: "Miss Su, if what you said is true, I am willing to apologize for my father. I will give you the position of princess, and I will be a cow and a horse for you. You...you forgive me." How is father? Please, your lord has a lot of—"
"My lord has a lot. Can you bring back my grandfather and parents? Can you bring back all the people who were implicated by the Su family?" Su Yao said coldly, with hatred in her eyes, "Dou Huiran, all this It's not your fault, but you are the daughter of the instigator. Just like I was an ignorant child back then, but as a descendant of the guilty minister, I have received the treatment that only the guilty minister has in recent years. In comparison, You are already much luckier than me."
Dou Huiran cried: "Miss Su! My father was wronged. Since you know that you were still young, how can you be sure that my father did all this? I... I am willing to give up my position as a princess, and I am willing to be a concubine. , would you like to be Princess Anjun..."
"I don't care about your position as princess." Su Yao looked indifferent, "My only goal in living these years is to send my enemies to see my father."
Dou Huiran froze on the spot, looking miserable.
Su Yao turned around and walked out, looking at the distant sky, her eyes looking desolate.
Her only goal in living these years is revenge. Only when those who have done wrongful things pay the price one by one can she have a reason to see her parents.
However……
Su Yao lowered her eyes and looked at her hands. The death of Dou Shangshu's family was not a pity, but the emperor who acted foolishly was also one of the murderers. How could she make him pay the price?
Rong Li ordered the princess's courtyard to be sealed off, but no one was allowed to treat her food harshly.
Dou Huiran was helped up by the maid in despair, with a look of despair in his eyes.
What should she do? What should she do now?
Dou Huiran didn't know what suddenly occurred to her, and she hurriedly grabbed the maid's hand: "Yan'er, you have to find a way to go back to Dou's house and tell your father that my master wants to take revenge on him, Yan'er..."
"Princess." Yan'er looked at her in embarrassment, "The prince has ordered this place to be sealed and will not allow the servants to leave the house..."
"You have to think of a way!" Dou Huiran's voice suddenly became sharp, and he grabbed Yan'er's shoulders and shook her violently, "Yan'er, you have to find a way to go back, do you hear me? I can't sit still and wait for death! Once something happens to my father, the Dou family will Once it’s all over, I’ll be done with it too…”
Yan'er felt the pain and nodded in fear: "I'll think of a way, slave."
Dou Huiran finally felt relieved, let go of her shoulders, and suddenly sat back on the brocade couch.
She must keep the Dou family...
…
Stepping out of the room, Rong Li held Su Yao's hand and solemnly promised: "After Dou Shangshu and his family are punished, we -"
"Rong Li, there is no future between us." Su Yao looked at him sternly, her eyes cold and rational, "I'm grateful for your help, but my heart has long since died. What do you expect from people who come from a place like Jiao Si Fang?" Does she have the ability to love?"
Rong Li pursed his lips: "If Su Shangshu is still here, we should be engaged."
Su Yao slowly shook her head: "It's a pity that my grandfather is no longer here, and so are my parents. After so many things, I am no longer worthy of you."
"Don't say that." Rong Li held her hand, "Yao Yao, in my heart, you are the most beautiful and clean girl in the world -"
"Your Majesty." Su Yao raised her hand to stop him from talking, "You still have a mother and a brother. You have many, many things to do. Don't waste your time on me."
She carries the identity of the guilty minister's daughter, which will only drag him down in the future. If her identity is discovered, the hope he has managed to survive for so many years will be shattered in an instant, and it is very likely that he will end up with King Chen and King Yu. Same result.
She knew her end and had been prepared for it.
Rong Li pursed his lips, looked at her firm expression, and finally said nothing.
