”Your Majesty,” Fu, who was guarding the door, walked into the hall and greeted the people in front of him with a bow.
”Grand Princess has already knelt outside the hall for four hours. Grand Princess is a girl and has always been pampered.
Fu tried to test the waters.
In the end, Qu Xue'er was still a princess, and didn't really suffer much. Besides her wild personality, her body wasn't as good as she thought.
When Fu saw her just now, Qu Xue'er's forehead had already started to seep out a thin layer of sweat, and his face was somewhat pale.
The Fu grew up watching the Princess Chuxue, he knew how much the Emperor dotes on her.
That was why he had taken the risk of wanting to plead on her behalf.
”Four hours. That's only half the time.” Qu Yiyu said without lifting his head, ”Don't bother with her, let her continue kneeling.”
Fu could only leave and prepare the other things that Qu Yiyu needed.
Fu pondered. Usually, the Emperor dotes on Grand Princess.
No matter what the Princess Chuxue wanted, he would think of a way to get it for her. She had only sent some soldiers to kill the bandits, with her love for the Princess Chuxue, why would he make it so difficult for her?
Fu tidied up the messy books on the table, feeling a little confused.
It was said that accompanying a monarch and a tiger was the hardest to predict Emperor's Heart. It seemed like the Princess Chuxue wouldn't have much longer to live.
The people of the palace were the most powerful, be it servants or concubines.
From bottom to top, regardless of whether it was a lord or a servant, as long as it was something concerning the Emperor, everyone would know about it in less than half a day.
Four hours later, Fu sighed.
I reckon all the concubines and empress s know about the Emperor's corporal punishment, right?
The crown prince was engrossed in his studies, so he might not have good information, but the empress...
Even if her only daughter was punished during the confinement period, she should have a way, right?
When Fu returned to the Cheng Ming Palace, Qu Yiyu was still reviewing the imperial reports. Beside his hands, there was even a small pile of memorials that had been reviewed.
”Your majesty, it's getting cold. Let's add another set of clothes.”
With that, Fu spread out the cape in his hand and covered him with it.
The sky outside was a little overcast. The strong wind blew Stone Sand onto Qu Xue'er's body, burning her skin.
The jade-like skin on his wrist was already ice-cold.
In the dark sky, a light drizzle had begun to fall.
Qu Xue'er was only wearing a very thin piece of Xia Yi's clothes, and her sleeves had just left her elbow.
The strong wind that was mixed with raindrops hit her body, causing Qu Xue'er to rub her slightly cold arms and shiver.
By the window, Qu Yiyu looked at the nearby Qu Xue'er who was shivering with cold. It was unknown what he was thinking under his stern face.
”Your majesty?” Fu spoke from behind, wanting to put in a bit more effort for Princess Chuxue.
”If she likes to kneel, then let her kneel,” with that, he flung his sleeves and left with large strides.
Fu watched his back as he left, and then looked at the Grand Princess who was still struggling in the storm.
”princess, this old servant shall advise you to apologize to the Emperor.
princess, you have a noble identity and are upright and upright. With your family background, why must you hang yourself under the Godly Doctor Gu tree when you can't even decide what kind of man you want? ”
Pushing the door open, Fu still walked forward to advise Qu Xue'er.
”Thank you for your good intentions, but father promised me that as long as I kneel for eight hours, father would send troops to save me.
