Quickly wear the host, don't panic, the person hasn't run far yet

Emperor Yongjin looked at Concubine Li who was sitting below with some confusion.

Concubine Li felt the gazes of the two people and smiled appropriately without changing her expression.

"Yes, who has made our Xiaowu unhappy? Tell us and I and the Emperor will take care of it for you."

Mu Wanxi ignored her words.

She turned her head and looked at Emperor Yongjin eagerly, biting her lip, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Finally, after struggling for a long time, he pulled the sleeve of Emperor Yongjin and whispered, "Father, will you always stand by your son? No matter how rebellious your son is, he will do something."

Emperor Yongjin frowned even more tightly, feeling that something was not right with his daughter today.

When he wanted to ask, he saw tears welling up in Mu Wanxi's eyes.

I felt extremely distressed at that moment.

"Don't cry, Xier. No matter what you do, father will stand by you. Father's heart is always with you."

As Emperor Yongjin spoke, he reached out and patted Mu Wanxi's shoulder, comforting her gently.

Mu Wanxi tried hard to hold back her tears, raised her head, and stubbornly refused to let them fall. She exhaled, and tried hard to raise the corners of her lips to smile at Emperor Yongjin.

"Okay, I believe in you, Father. As long as I have you, I am not afraid of anything."

At the end, she couldn't help crying and a tear flowed uncontrollably.

Emperor Yongjin felt distressed when seeing this.

"Father is here. Father will always be here."

Emperor Yongjin patted Mu Wanxi's shoulder and comforted her.

Concubine Li sat upright the whole time, looking at the two people sitting at the top with a gentle expression.

"Why are you so sad, Xiaowu? Don't cry and hurt yourself. If you are unhappy, tell your father, don't keep it in your heart."

Concubine Li said with a worried look on her face, and seemed to want to divert Mu Wanxi's attention, and asked with concern.

"Have you had any food today? It just so happens that I made some cakes myself."

As he spoke, he motioned to the palace maid beside him to place a food box on the desk and opened the lid. Inside were some delicately crafted snacks with exquisite designs, which showed clearly that much thought had gone into their preparation.

Mu Wanxi just took a glance and pursed her lips, looking disgusted.

"I hate the greasy sweetness of osmanthus cake, and your Majesty knows that."

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, then looked a little gloomy.

"I was negligent. I just thought that sweet-scented osmanthus cake was Sister Wan's favorite..."

He suddenly stopped here, as if he suddenly remembered something, and quickly knelt down to apologize.

"I was just feeling emotional for a moment, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongjin looked at the osmanthus cake in the food box with a slightly cold expression.

Mu Wanxi reached out and pulled Emperor Yongjin’s sleeve.

"Father."

Emperor Yongjin came back to his senses.

He touched Mu Wanxi's hair, and the sharpness in his eyes disappeared.

"Since Xier doesn't like it, just take it away."

"Get up, you don't have to do it again."

"Yes." Concubine Li bowed her head and responded.

"Father, you still have your son, and your son will always be with you." Mu Wanxi said with a firm look.

Emperor Yongjin frowned slightly and smiled.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? You are going to get married soon, so you are used to trying to make your father happy."

When it comes to marriage, Mu Wanxi usually feels happy and looks forward to the wedding day. But today, her expression changes slightly.

Emperor Yongjin felt something was wrong.

But Mu Wanxi didn't give him the chance to ask any more questions. She found an excuse and slipped away.

Looking at Mu Wanxi's back as she left in a hurry.

Emperor Yongjin frowned.

His Xier had always been well-behaved. Something must have happened to her today, which was why she behaved so abnormally. She must have been bullied by someone, but who was it? Why didn't Xier want to say it?

Looking up at the person still sitting below, Emperor Yongjin's eyes darkened slightly when he thought of Xier's hesitation to speak.

"I still have official business to attend to, Concubine Li, please go back to the palace and rest first."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

Concubine Li stood up, bowed, and left. She walked to the door of the imperial study, looked at Mu Wanxi's departing back, and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"Li Dehai."

"The slave is here."

"Go check what happened in the Fifth Princess's Mansion today."

"Yes."

--------

There is a straight corridor inside the palace wall, with blue bricks lined up one after another, and the palace walls on both sides are towering into the clouds, with no end in sight.

Mu Wanxi deliberately slowed down her pace, with sadness still lingering on her face.

"Host, you didn't complain to Emperor Yongjin about anything? Don't you plan to let him back you up?"

9708 was very confused.

His host just came to cry and didn't say anything that should be said.

Mu Wanxi's expression remained unchanged, and she seemed to be still immersed in her emotions.

However, the conversation with Xiaotuanzi in the sea of ​​consciousness was completely opposite to the emotions expressed.

“First of all, there is no need to say some things too bluntly. Emperor Yongjin is a smart man, he will understand.

Secondly, I don’t actually need him to support me. The main purpose of coming here today is to give him a heads-up in advance.”

9708 was confused. "What kind of vaccination?"

"Because he will eventually realize that his precious daughter turned evil because of what happened today. I also want him to be mentally prepared so that he won't be too surprised when I kill his sons and daughters in the future."

9708 still doesn't quite understand why the host is unwilling to let Emperor Yongjin help her.

"Since Emperor Yongjin dotes on the original owner so much, why doesn't the host make good use of it? Wouldn't things be easier with Emperor Yongjin's help?"

Looking at the silly little dumpling, Mu Wanxi sighed softly. The child is still young, and if he is taught slowly, there is still hope for his salvation.

"Little Dumpling, you have to know that in this deep palace, favor is a double-edged sword. It will put you in the spotlight, and the person who favors you may not be able to protect you at all times. The only person you can rely on in this world is yourself, and your own strength is your confidence. Do you understand?"

9708 nodded, not quite understanding.

"Just like the original owner, although he was favored by Emperor Yongjin, he was also equally envied and hated. In this deep palace, she was spoiled and grew up. Emperor Yongjin did his best to give her the best, not letting her be contaminated by the evil and darkness of this world, just wanting her to live a safe and happy life. He protected her too well. As a result, she could not see through people's hearts, could not distinguish between false feelings and hypocrisy, and was surrounded by wolves and tigers without realizing it.

From falling into the water when she was a child, to being drugged, to finally being squeezed dry of the last bit of value in her and dying in a foreign land, her life was led into a dead end step by step by those with ulterior motives. Including her biological mother and brother, was it that Emperor Yongjin didn't love them enough? Or was it that Emperor Yongjin didn't pay enough attention to them? Neither. Even a tiger can take a nap, and a steed can occasionally stumble, let alone a human being. No one can always follow you and protect you.
