However, she would never be willing to give up the throne.
And privately, she felt that since her father had faked his death and left the palace, no one would laugh at her behind her back anymore.
It's a joke that she got the throne by selling her father's body.
No one would laugh at her for having such a father.
She had had enough of the days where she was in the highest position but still felt inferior to others and everyone laughed at her.
She wanted to live uprightly, to hold her back straight, her head high and her chest puffed out, to truly enjoy everyone's kneeling worship with pride.
"Ying'er..."
At this moment, Li Ruo felt that his daughter was so strange.
Is this the daughter he carefully raised
Should he say that he was too successful in training
Whether in terms of suspicious nature or cruelty, he is no less than him, or even worse.
"Father, even if you leave the palace, you can always come back secretly to see me and Ling'er in the future. I will also help you in secret and give you the best life so that you can enjoy your old age. Just promise me and give it a try!"
Li Ruo's heart gradually became extremely cold.
"Ying'er, it's not that father doesn't want to give it a try, but your uncle will never agree to it. She has changed her mind and will never agree to such a ridiculous thing again."
Huang Ying simply didn't listen to him and said stubbornly: "How can you know if you don't try it?"
"I know very well how good the emperor's uncle was to you in the past. Although he has changed a little now, his affection for you is definitely still there. It's just that his father's previous actions hurt her feelings."
"I believe that as long as you, my father, coax her well, she will definitely change her mind."
Li Ruo felt that his daughter was really crazy.
I'm so crazy that I can't tell reality from dreams.
"Ying'er, you... let father think about it carefully."
Li Ruo knew that it was useless to persuade her any further and could only delay it temporarily.
Huang Ying finally smiled.
"Okay, Father, take your time to think about it. I am not married yet, so there is no need to rush."
"Father, I still have some government affairs to attend to, so I will leave first. Father, please go back early as it is windy outside."
Looking at her daughter's leaving back, Li Ruo fell into confusion.
"Xiao Xuanzi, did I do something wrong?"
If he had not sent her to the throne at the age of five for his own selfish reasons, would everything be different today
Xiao Xuanzi didn't expect that His Majesty would make such a request.
I felt indignant for my master.
"Master, this is all for your Majesty's good."
It’s just that His Majesty, who is only interested in securing his throne, doesn’t consider his master’s interests.
"Yes, it was all for her own good, but I didn't expect that in the end..."
There was bitterness in Li Ruo's mouth.
But in the end, I became the one who was abandoned and sacrificed.
Is this retribution

The imperial city has been quite lively recently because of a royal wedding.
Su Qiao bypassed Li Sang, the father, and copied the weddings of Li Ying and Shang Shuheng, and Li Ruo and Huang Ling.
On the wedding day, the sound of gongs and drums echoed throughout the entire imperial city, and the processions to welcome and see off the bride were extremely large.
Although Shang Shuheng was extremely reluctant, he finally succumbed to reality.
From the time the imperial decree of marriage was issued until her wedding, he had never seen Su Qiao again. It was not until the third day after the wedding that he intercepted her when she was leaving the palace after court.
"Your Majesty..."
After three days of thinking, Shang Shuheng had accepted the reality, but he still felt a little unwilling in his heart and wanted to ask her in person to get an answer.
