Chapter 259 Have you been wronged?
Chapter 259 Have you been wronged?
Su Yue knelt on the ground, feeling as if time had stopped, and every second seemed as long as a century.
Her heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence, and beads of sweat fell from her forehead, soaking the ground.
Finally, the Grand Emperor's voice came again: "Get up."
When Su Yue heard these two words, she felt as if she had been pardoned and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She slowly stood up, but still did not dare to look up at the emperor.
The emperor's tone was obviously not as tough as before, but rather a little gentle: "Don't be so nervous, I'm just asking casually."
Su Yue still replied respectfully: "The highest official I have ever met was the prefect. I am so nervous to suddenly face the Grand Emperor that I don't know what to do. I hope the Grand Emperor will forgive me."
The Grand Emperor seemed amused by Su Yue's fearful words: "You are indeed an honest person. But since you have chosen to take the imperial examination, you must be an official in the future. You need to have a strong character to control the people below you."
Su Yue was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that the emperor would give her such advice.
Su Yue smiled politely, "I just passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. If I show off too much now, I'm afraid it will give people a chance to criticize me. It's better to keep a low profile. Once I pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, I'll have the confidence."
As soon as these words came out, the emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter, pointing at Su Yue and said: "You are interesting, I like your personality."
Su Yue lowered her head slightly, secretly glad that her answer seemed to put the emperor in a good mood, but she still didn't dare to relax or be presumptuous.
The Grand Emperor slightly restrained his smile and asked with concern, "How are you preparing for this test?"
Su Yue hurriedly bowed and answered, his words full of humility and caution.
After hearing this, the Emperor waved his hand gently, signaling Su Yue to leave.
At this time, her attitude was no longer as tough as before, but more peaceful.
Su Yue felt as if he had been pardoned and respectfully bowed and took his leave.
The moment she walked out the door, she took a deep breath and felt that the air outside was sweet. She felt as if she was freed from heavy pressure.
What Su Yue didn't know was that as soon as she left, the Emperor looked meaningfully in the direction she left.
When the female official beside her saw the Grand Emperor's behavior, she understood what he meant and stepped forward to investigate Su Yue's experience in detail and informed the Grand Emperor.
The Emperor listened quietly to the female official's report, nodding thoughtfully from time to time.
The female official's voice rang out clearly in the quiet room: "Su Yue is a diligent and motivated person, and he behaves in a low-key and cautious manner.
She is also very caring towards her husbands and is very easy to get along with.
After the prince was brought to their home, he was always taken care of and was never treated as an outsider. He ate and lived with the whole family without any special treatment.
Also, after the Crown Prince contacted Prince Ning'an's relatives, they had all traces of him in Yangzhou erased to avoid exposure, which is why we haven't heard anything for so long."
Even after the female official finished her report, the emperor remained silent, as if he was thinking about the various connections and influences involved.
After a long while, the Grand Emperor slowly spoke, "Continue to pay attention to her movements and don't be negligent."
The lady-in-waiting replied, and peace returned to the room.
Su Yue hurried back to the room, and the moment she opened the door, she saw her four husbands sitting in a row, their faces full of worry and expectation.
When their eyes fell on Su Yue's figure, their eyes suddenly lit up, and their originally dim eyes were instantly filled with brilliance.
Su Yue looked at them, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. At this moment, she deeply felt that all the hardships and obstacles she had experienced before were worth it.
Just on the way back, she was still thinking over and over again in her heart about the various possibilities of the future.
Perhaps they can live happily in a sparsely populated and beautiful paradise.
She has everything she needs now, and it is much better to stay away from all the gossip than to be in this place full of intrigue and disputes.
But she had to think about her children.
Only when she becomes strong can her children have solid protection and grow up safely in this complicated world.
At this moment, looking at her husbands' eyes full of concern, Su Yue understood that she was never alone in facing the ups and downs of this world.
Their eyes were full of trust, dependence and deep love, as if telling her that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would always be by her side and never leave her.
Su Yue slowly walked up to them, gently held the hand of one of the husbands, and said in a gentle but firm voice: "I'm sorry to have worried you, I'm fine."
Shangguan Haomu had always been the head of the family. When he saw Su Yue coming back, he immediately stood up and walked over quickly. He took Su Yue's hand and asked anxiously, "Yuer, have you been wronged?"
Su Yue pulled Shangguan Haomu back, pressed him to sit on the chair, and said with a smile: "It's not that serious, just a simple question. Besides, don't you still trust me, your wife?
I can definitely handle that kind of situation with ease, don't worry! You just need to take care of yourself and the baby in your belly."
Shangguan Haochen held Su Yue's arm tightly and said with a bit of grievance: "Sister, we are worried about you. I suddenly feel that our family was doing well when we were in Yangzhou. Here we are really scared every day."
As soon as he said that, he seemed to realize that something was wrong and immediately explained anxiously: "Sister, I'm not questioning your decision. We just feel sorry for you. You have to face so many people alone, but we can't help you at all."
Su Yue smiled, gently rubbed Shangguan Haochen's head, and said softly: "It's okay for us to suffer a little grievance, but we must try our best not to let our children suffer any more grievances.
The prosperity of a family is accumulated from generation to generation. If we work harder, our children will have an easier time in the future.
Do you want your baby to suffer as soon as it is born?"
Shangguan Haochen shook his head desperately, tears in his eyes as he said, "But we don't want our sister to suffer either."
Su Yue felt warm in her heart when she heard this: "As long as you are well by my side, I won't feel bitter at all."
At this time, Shen Yunyan silently handed over a cup of hot tea. Su Yue took the cup, took a sip, felt the warm tea sliding down her throat, looked at the husbands in front of her who were concerned about her, and felt emotional, thinking that such a day was pretty good.
The room was filled with a warm atmosphere. Su Yue's eyes swept across the faces of each husband in turn, her heart full of expectations for the future and cherishment for the warmth in front of her.
No matter how rough and difficult the road ahead is, as long as they are by my side, it is all worth it.
