Dongmei's words seemed to wake up Xiao Yurao, who was still hesitant.
"Fight hard?" Xiao Yurao slowly repeated Dongmei's words, her mind turning over and over again.
"Yes, princess, he has always had you and only you in his heart. How can you give up the man you love just because of what that woman said?"
Dongmei said solemnly, as if this could cheer up Xiao Yurao, who had been depressed.
"Princess, you have only two ways, either leave the palace, stay far away from these disputes, and live a peaceful life...or stay here, stand side by side with the one you love, and become the most noble woman in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
!”
Xiao Yurao fell into a long silence. Dongmei had always been by her side, the person who knew her best... She had been deceiving herself, but now Dongmei's words made her completely sober.
She can no longer continue to live in confusion. She has only two options, either leave here and start from scratch, or stay and be prepared to face all obstacles and storms!
"Dongmei, let me think again..." Xiao Yurao said to Dongmei with a wry smile after a long silence: "My mind is in chaos now!"
"Princess, no matter which path you choose, Dongmei will support you to the end!" Dongmei's tone was solemn and firm. Thinking of Xue Zu'e's previous cynicism towards the princess, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
If the princess decides to stay, she will never let other women, including Xue Zu'e, oppress her!
When Xiao Yurao returned to the palace, it was already getting late. Dongmei saw that her master had a tired face and whispered: "Princess, I will go to the royal dining room to bring you dinner. You can rest for a while first!"
Xiao Yurao nodded, and when Dongmei helped her back to the bedroom, she was about to pour a cup of hot tea and hand it to her master when she saw Gao Yang standing in Xiao Yurao's bedroom, frowning at the two of them: "Finally back?"
Gao Yang's voice was majestic and cold. Xiao Yurao did not expect that he would appear in her bedroom at this time. After a brief surprise, she ordered Dongmei: "Dongmei, please step aside first!"
Dongmei nodded and retreated, leaving only Gao Yang and Xiao Yurao in the huge bedroom.
This palace was where Xiao Yurao lived when she married into the Northern Wei Dynasty as a princess. Now the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty gave up the throne to Gao Yang and moved out of the palace. However, Gao Yang did not want to waste money and people, so he did not rebuild the palace.
And Xiao Yurao continued to stay in the original palace, and nothing seemed to have changed...
"When did you come?" Xiao Yurao finally spoke to break the silence in the palace room.
"After finishing those government affairs and dealing with the chattering ministers, I came here..." After Gao Yang said this, he paused and a complicated light flashed in his eyes.
"I came to your palace, but I didn't see you. The eunuch in the palace said that you left the palace early in the morning. I was very worried!"
Although Gao Yang has sat on the throne of God, he does not want to call himself "I" in front of her.
"What are you worried about?" Xiao Yurao lowered her eyes to avoid his burning gaze and replied pretending not to care.
"I'm worried that you'll leave the palace without saying goodbye, and leave... me!" Gao Yang's eyes were focused and hot, and he refused to look away for a moment, as if she would disappear in front of him at any time.
Xiao Yurao trembled slightly, finally raised her head to meet his burning eyes, walked slowly to him, and reached out to touch his face.
