Chapter 293 - Chapter 293: Preference



An Le was too tired and weak. After just a few words, she closed her eyes in exhaustion.

As soon as her eyelids closed, she fell into a deep sleep.

The Emperor carefully tucked his daughter in and stared at her sleeping face for a moment before getting up and going out.

The Emperor went to the east side hall, while Shangqing Spiritual Master was invited to sit in the west side hall.

Eunuch Zhao Rang had been accompanying the Emperor like a shadow.

The Emperor sat quietly alone in the east side hall for a long time...

There was a long silence in the hall.

Time passed quietly. The sky outside gradually darkened, and even the hall became much darker, casting a faint shadow on the Emperor’s bright yellow dragon robe.

The Emperor sat frozen in a daze, his old and thin side profile difficult to hide.

He thought of how tiny An Le was as a baby.

He recalled the appearance of An Le hobbling..

He recalled how An Le had cried miserably when Chu Yi had left the capital eight years ago...

He recalled how An Le suddenly fell seriously ill five years ago...

He thought of...

After an unknown period of time, a faint sigh sounded. It was exceptionally lonely in the silent hall.

The Emperor said with difficulty, “My An Le is a blessed child.”

For the past five years, An Le had been bedridden and didn’t have many peaceful days. However, even so, the Emperor was satisfied.

To him, An Le was lucky to be alive.

He had once told Feng Yang that their royal family had the ability to raise a sick child. Even if they couldn’t find a suitable husband in the future, the royal family could still raise the princess for the rest of her life and not let her suffer any grievances.

As long as he and his son were around, he could protect his daughter for the rest of his life.

The Emperor lowered his eyes and held his forehead wearily. “We can’t hurt this blessing,” he said again in a low voice.

His voice was even hoarser now, as he suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart.

” ” Eunuch Zhao Rang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and was about to cry.

The Emperor clenched his fists and said, “Call Shangqing over.’

Zhao Rang hurriedly accepted the order and left.

Not long after, Shangqing Spiritual Master entered. He casually flicked his silver-white horsetail whisk and smiled.

The swaying trees outside the window reflected in his pupils, making his eyes look erratic and cold as an abyss.

Another gust of cold wind blew, and even the temperature in the hall seemed to have plummeted.

The dark clouds in the sky outside piled up even thicker and layered up, as if they would fall at any moment.

The wind blew for most of the day and didn’t stop even at dusk.

Gu Yanfei had been holed up in the house for the entire day and hadn’t left the house. She was busy repairing her compass.

The original needle of the compass had broken in the Tianyin Pavilion a few days ago. Gu Yanfei spent two days visiting many shops in the capital and found another type of magnet.

All she had to do today was grind the new lodestone bit by bit into the shape of a needle.

The work was tedious. The cat squatted at the side and stared unblinkingly for a while before becoming bored.

“Meow, meow...”

“Meow, meow, meow...”

“Meow, meow, meow...”

The bored cat kept circling her. One moment, it wanted to order her to play with it, and the next moment, it wanted to go out for a walk. However, Gu Yanfei turned a deaf ear and was unmoved.

Finally, tired, the cat curled up in the cat bed beside her and fell asleep.

Unknowingly, time passed. At dusk, the sky turned an endless dark gray. Juan Bi walked in with a food box and rambled, “Miss, you should rest for a while.”

“Wu Tong bought some of their family’s best dishes from the Heavenly Water Restaurant. He said that the Eldest Young Master instructed him to buy them for you before he left the capital today.”

“It’ll be the Lantern Festival in a few days. Will the Eldest Young Master be able to rush back?”

After the food box was opened, an alluring fragrance of food wafted out.

Gu Yanfei was really hungry and couldn’t help but swallow.

She finally sharpened the needle and studied it carefully. She smiled in satisfaction and said, “About three or five days.”

Gu Yuan accompanied Chu Yi to the imperial mausoleum.

Before he left, he specially made an appointment with Gu Yanfei to rush back before the Lantern Festival to accompany her to see the lanterns. “Great!” Juan Bi said with a grin as she lit the candle beside her.

“Psst.”

When the candlelight was lit, Gu Yanfei suddenly felt as if she was being suppressed by something. Her heart felt heavy.

Gu Yanfei put down what she was doing and looked up at the sky outside the window. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the dark clouds that were like mountains in the sky.

Her gaze seemed to cross mountains and rivers, or the Milky Way.

Gu Yanfei knew very well what this pressure was.

It was Heaven’s Will.

Heaven’s Will favored Gu Yunrong, the daughter of providence, and thought for her in everything. Whatever she lacked, Heaven’s Will would give her. Her grandmother, father, brother, eldest sister, and even her admirers... Heaven’s Will wished it could arrange a smooth path for Gu Yunrong.

Kang Wang was Gu Yunrong’s heaven-sent fate, and the aristocratic families were the greatest weapons to protect this pair of lovers.

With the help of the aristocratic families, Kang Wang and Gu Yunrong could rule the world.

Heaven’s Will treated the daughter of providence well and specially cleared all kinds of obstacles for this pair of lovers.

In her previous life, Imperial Duke Wei should have died without her interference.

Without Imperial Duke Wei, these nobles in the imperial court were leaderless and fell into a dilemma of internal strife. Even the British Monarchy had sided with Kang Wang because of Fang Mingfeng.

Chu Yi had also been burned in Danyang City and had yet to appear.

The Emperor was isolated and helpless. He didn’t have the support of the nobles, nor could he gather those poor families that were like scattered sand. As a result, he was suppressed by the aristocratic families step by step and couldn’t take a single step.

But in this life, many things were different...

How could Heaven’s Will watch the person it loved suffer!

Gu Yanfei supported her chin lazily with one hand and muttered to herself,

“Master said that if the heavens are unfair, we’ll pierce through the heavens!”

Her voice was so soft that Juan Bi, who was beside her, didn’t even hear what she said. She looked at her subconsciously.

Bathed in the candlelight, the girl’s dark pupils were unusually bright, unusually determined, unusually confident... and unusually domineering, as if nothing in this world could stop her.

There was an unyielding confidence in her bones that was difficult to look at.

Gu Yanfei casually plucked the compass needle that had just been repaired with one finger.

The needle spun wildly on the compass, leaving a quivering shadow that didn’t stop for a long time.

Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and casually tapped her fingers on the table twice. She looked at the compass and sighed. “You’re not letting me calculate?’

Sigh, the Heaven’s Will of this small world was really petty.

If it didn’t let her calculate, then it didn’t count.

Gu Yanfei put away the compass. When she looked out of the window again, she felt that the sky outside was even darker.

The dark clouds were like a landscape painting drawn with thick ink, or like thick ink poured into the air.

‘Qing Guang!’

Gu Yanfei pinched the back of the cat’s neck and dragged the sleepy cat out of the cat bed. She stroked its head and instructed, “Go take a look.”

“Meow—”

The calico cat yawned lazily, its mouth hanging open. Then it leaped sleepily out of the window..
