She traveled to the fantasy world and fought monsters
Chapter 107 He's Background
"Yao'er, who came into your room?"
Jabuna, the king of the Suzaku tribe, pushed the door open and walked in hurriedly.
Mu Shuiqi looked at him. Her grandfather was tall and majestic, and his every move was like that of a king.
"That's my grandpa." Mu Shuiqi sighed.
Liu Huo raised an eyebrow, "And then?"
"That's all." Mu Shuiqi glared at him.
After He slipped away, Yun Yao immediately calmed down and replied calmly when she saw Jiabuna, "No, what's wrong, father?"
Gabriel didn't quite believe it, as he clearly heard a maid come and report that someone had broken into the princess's room.
He looked around the house but found no one.
"The wedding is approaching and the situation outside is turbulent. You must not take it lightly," said Gabriella.
Yun Yao's heart sank, and she didn't know how to tell her father that the person she wanted to marry was not Zhuo.
"Yao'er, are you worried about something?" Jiabuna has always loved his daughter and understood her.
"Father, I..." Yun Yao hesitated to speak.
The wedding is tomorrow, and if she doesn't tell him now, she will never have another chance. But if she tells him, her father will know that she and He are in love.
As the Suzaku Princess, it is a heinous act to fall in love without telling her parents.
It would have been fine if she had done something extremely outrageous, but she was deceived by He and got engaged to Zhuo by mistake.
Is there any way back? Yun Yao felt that it was probably hopeless...
"Yao'er, are you nervous about getting married?" Jiabuna looked at his daughter lovingly.
Yun Yao shook her head slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she mustered up the courage to say, "Father, I don't want to marry Zhuo."
Gabriella was shocked, and her face darkened. "Why? The marriage is already settled. How can you do whatever you want?"
Yun Yao's eyes were red. "Father, I love someone else in my heart. I love He."
Upon hearing this, Gabriella's eyes widened in shock. "What? Isn't he Zhuo's brother? How could you have such a secret relationship with him?"
Yun Yao told her father everything about her acquaintance with He and how He deceived her and led to her engagement with Zhuo.
Gabriel frowned and paced back and forth in the room.
"This matter is extremely difficult. The Emperor personally granted the marriage, and we have already accepted the order. News of the wedding has already spread. If we were to cancel the engagement, it would surely cause a huge uproar and might even lead to hostility between the two clans."
Yun Yao's tears fell, "Father, I know I was wrong, but I really don't want to go against my own wishes and marry someone I don't love."
Gabriella stopped and sighed, "Yao'er, you've put your father in a very difficult position. I need time to consider how to properly handle this matter. Please don't act rashly."
Yun Yao could only nod silently, her heart filled with worry and uneasiness. She knew she had made a big mistake, but the choice between love and marriage made it impossible for her to compromise.
After Gabriel left, he immediately summoned several important officials of the tribe to discuss countermeasures. The room was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Everyone knows that this matter concerns the future and peace of the Suzaku clan, but they cannot think of a perfect solution for the time being. They can only continue to discuss it while weighing the pros and cons.
An elder, with his supernatural powers of information, knew a little about He's affairs. He said, "As far as I know, before He's mother, Ye Xi, married the Emperor, she was deeply in love with a man from the mortal world."
Everyone's interest was immediately piqued by him, and they all asked him about Ye Xi.
The elder coughed lightly and continued.
Rumor has it that Ye Xi was deeply in love with that mortal man and even became pregnant, but later she was forced by her family to marry the Emperor.
The emperor didn't know about this at the time.
He might be the son she had with a mortal man. In any case, after He was born, the Emperor sent him to foster care elsewhere and did not take him back until he reached adulthood.
The son born to Ye Xi was not the Emperor's. This matter was an insult to the Emperor and was not allowed to be made public. Ye Xi was also imprisoned by the Emperor.
But inevitably, some gossipy people leaked the news, and the rumor spread like this. That was thousands of years ago.
As for whether He is the Emperor's biological son, no one knows. Who else can know except the Emperor and Ye Xi?
But one thing is certain: He was not loved by the Emperor. He was like an abandoned child since childhood and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs.
Even the servants who raised him bullied him, not giving him food or giving him smelly leftovers, stealing his belongings, and beating and scolding him were common occurrences.
Not to mention insulting him and mocking him.
The elder sighed, "This child has been a hard-working person since childhood. This is the Emperor's family affair, and the Emperor has turned a blind eye to it. Of course, outsiders dare not interfere."
Jiabuna frowned, "Yun Yao and Zhuo are already engaged, but who is the one she loves? What should we do now?"
The elder said slowly, "He seems to harbor resentment towards the Emperor and his family. He may have ulterior motives in approaching the princess, rather than genuine love. I've also heard rumors that Long Jue and Long Sheng have been stirring up trouble recently, and He may be behind it."
Yun Yao was struck by lightning when she heard these words outside the door. She didn't want to believe that He's feelings for her were fake, but the elder's words made her doubtful.
She rushed into the house. "No, I don't believe he is such a person. The tenderness and affection he showed me when he was with me were definitely not a disguise."
Gabriella looked at her daughter and said helplessly, "Yao'er, don't let your emotions blind you. We must consider this matter carefully and cannot just rely on your one-sided statement."
Yun Yao was confused and decided to go find He in person to find out the truth.
She quietly left the palace and set out on a journey to find He. Along the way, she recalled every moment she spent with He, trying to find evidence to prove his sincerity.
When Capuna discovered his daughter was missing, he was extremely worried. He sent people to look for her while discussing countermeasures with his ministers.
The Suzaku clan was in a state of chaos and anxiety, and no one knew where the princess's divorce would end up.
Yun Yao searched for He's true dragon breath all the way and finally found He in a remote valley thirty kilometers away from Yuejian Mountain.
When He saw Yun Yao coming, a complex look flashed in his eyes, including surprise and a hint of imperceptible panic.
"Hey, I heard some rumors about you. I don't believe them. Tell me they are not true. They say you are not the Emperor's biological son." Yun Yao said anxiously, her eyes full of expectation and anxiety.
He lowered his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Yaoyao, some things are not as simple as you think. I do have my own difficulties, but my feelings for you must be sincere."
Yun Yao approached He, "So what's your dilemma? Tell me everything!"
He raised his head and looked at Yun Yao, his eyes filled with pain. "Everyone says I'm the bastard born of my mother and a mortal. My background has always made me feel ashamed. Now you understand why I pretended to be Zhuo and was dating you..."
Yun Yao was filled with mixed emotions. Just then, the Suzaku tribe's pursuers arrived at the valley. Seeing Yun Yao and He together, Jiabu Na's face darkened.
"Hey, if you dare to hurt Yao'er, my Suzaku tribe will never let you go." Jiabuna shouted angrily.
He smiled bitterly: "Suzaku King, how could I possibly hurt her?"
Just as Gabriel was about to speak, a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky. It turned out that the Emperor had sensed something strange here and descended.
"How dare you disobey my order? Do you know your crime?" The emperor's majestic voice echoed throughout the valley.
The Emperor was ill, yet he came here alone to condemn, which shows how angry he was.
