After Shangguan Yi retired from the court, he kept himself locked in the imperial study and didn't even eat lunch. Fuxia could only worry outside.
Not being able to protect the woman he loves is the greatest shame for a man.
Shangguan Yi thought of the scene in the early morning, and although he was filled with anger, it was more of a sad feeling that he was incompetent.
He is the emperor, and he can't even keep one person he likes.
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten all day. Please pay attention to the dragon body!" Fuxia knelt on the ground and begged him countless times, but Shangguan didn't respond to him, so he kept kneeling like that.
As dusk approached, Shangguan Yi finally decided to designate Xiaoru as Princess Qianhe. The moment he opened the door, the setting sun hit his face.
"Your Majesty, have you figured it out? Do you want to pass on the dinner?" Fuxia followed him in a hurry, but Shangguanyi didn't say a word and went straight to Xiaoru's Tailong Hall.
Since he had to send her to get married, he should at least let her know his feelings, Shangguan Yi thought as he walked a lot faster, almost wanting to fly over.
Fu Xia and a group of guards and eunuchs were chasing after him. They were sweating profusely. They didn't know what was going on with their master today. They really lived up to the old saying, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."
"Xiaoru, Xiaoru..." Shangguan Yi didn't care about his own image and kept calling Xiaoru's name as soon as he entered the hall.
Xiaoru was taking a bath. When she heard the palace servants say that Shangguan Yi was coming, she hurriedly washed herself and came out.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me if you have something to do?" Xiaoru felt blessed and considered etiquette.
"It will be boring if you stay in the palace for a long time. I will take you out to play tomorrow." Shangguan Yi's tone was actually a command tone, even though he came to discuss with Xiaoru.
"Ah?! I..." Xiaoru hesitated and hesitated, and Shangguan Yi felt a little uneasy. For the first time in so many years, he felt uneasy in front of a woman.
"Sister Xiaoru." Shangguanxue was very sleepy because of her pregnancy, and she didn't wake up until now. She was just about to ask Xiaoru to take her pulse, but she learned that Shangguan Yi was here.
"Brother Huang, what are you doing?" Seeing Xiaoru hesitating, Shangguan Xue thought Shangguan Yi had bullied her.
Although Shangguan Yi granted marriage to her and Lian Suxuan, after hearing what happened in the court today, she became more and more concerned about this brother.
"Xue'er, didn't you tell me not to get angry?" Xiaoru pulled Shangguan Xue and signaled her to stop talking.
"Since the emperor has such good intentions, the common girl is naturally willing to go. I haven't seen the world outside the palace wall for a long time." Xiaoru looked at the setting sun outside the window, "Let's go back to the Netherworld Valley to have a look."
"Okay, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow." Shangguan Yi went back and called Shangguan Xue away.
"Brother Imperial, why are you doing this?" Shangguan Xue pulled Shangguan Yi's sleeves.
"Of course I have my reasons for doing this." Shangguan Yi just let her pull his sleeves without explaining. In fact, why is he not feeling bitter in his heart
"Is it because sister Xiaoru may be Yu Wenxiang's person?" Shangguan Xue insisted on asking about this matter. The two siblings have the same stubborn temperament.
"You just need to remember that if you go to get married, I won't do this." Shangguan Yi knew that they were the same kind of people - selfish people.
Well, sister Xiaoru, I can only say I'm sorry.
