In an instant, Hua Jieyu felt weak all over and her face paled.
His Majesty had made her the crown princess and she was leaving on the first day of the new year.
Just now, she was still talking with her mother about her father and Ye Futian's arrival tomorrow. Then, disaster suddenly came without any warning.
Nandou Wenyin, Nandou Tai, and the others were also stunned. They were at a loss.
Is this fate, Nandou Tai thought. In reality, he didn't completely understand Minister Zuo's fate. The Empress was meant to be the mother of the world. Now, he seemed to understand. Emperor, emperor, or maybe the emperor Minister Zuo was referring to was the emperor of the Nandou Nation.
"No …" Just then, Hua Jieyu woke up from her daze. Her dark eyes became very determined. Staring at Minister Hua, she said, "I don't accept."
Minister Hua frowned. "How dare you. This is His Majesty's order."
"I don't accept." Hua Jieyu still looked at him and repeated the cold voice. Minister Hua's eyes were very sharp but the girl before him stared back fearlessly.
"Brother Nandou, is the Nandou clan going against the order?" Minister Hua asked coldly.
"Minister Hua, please forgive me. This girl is stubborn. I'll talk to her," Nandou Tai said, his expression changing. The Nandou clan was no longer the royal family of the past. They couldn't go against the imperial power now.
"Alright, I'll give you two days. I'll be at the Nandou clan these two days. I'll leave on the first day of the new year." Minister Hua flicked his sleeves and left. The moment he turned around, a cold smile flashed across his eyes. Going against the order? His Majesty had asked him to come personally. Who could go against the order?
Seeing that Minister Hua had left, Nandou Tai looked at Hua Jieyu and said, "Jieyu, the crown prince was born to be king and is extremely outstanding. He's in his twenties and still has no wife or concubine. This shows his character. Only one person in the entire Nandou Nation has this opportunity. Now that it's landed on you, this is your fate.
You'll be the mother of the world. "" I don't need this fate, "Hua Jieyu said.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Nandou Tai continued to persuade, "Jieyu, you are only 17 years old now. Your feelings for Ye Futian are only temporary. One day, when you stand at a different height, you will naturally forget about him. As long as you agree to this, I can bring your father home immediately and let your family reunite and enjoy the happiness of a family."
Hua Jieyu looked at Nandou Tai coldly. "I won't agree. Father won't agree either."
"Wenyin, talk to her." Nandou Tai looked at Nandou Wenyin, who was standing behind Hua Jieyu.
"Are you finally willing to let him come back after seeing the greater benefits?" Nandou Wenyin sneered at Nandou Tai. "Sacrificing my daughter in exchange for a reunion? How is that family happiness? I don't agree to it either."
Nandou Tai's expression became extremely ugly. He said coldly, "So what if all of you don't agree? This is the imperial order. Who can cheat? There's still one day. Think carefully."
Nandou Tai left with a gloomy face.
Seeing him leave, Hua Jieyu's eyes instantly turned red. She turned around to look at her mother and called, "Mother."
Her voice seemed to be filled with endless sorrow. She seemed weak and powerless, without any of her usual spirituality.
"Poor child." Nandou Wenyin walked up and gently wiped away the tears on Hua Jieyu's face. Her heart ached.
Why was the fate of her and her daughter so similar? They clearly had someone they loved but could not be together.
Nandou Wenyin understood Hua Jieyu's feelings the best. Because she had experienced it before, they did not care about status. They only wanted to follow their loved ones.
At this time, a figure rushed over. It was Nandou Wenshan who had received the news.
Seeing the situation of the mother and daughter before him, he also felt very upset.
Hua Jieyu was even more outstanding than her mother. She was destined to be extraordinary. Now, she was conferred the title of Crown Princess. Was it really like what Minister Zuo had predicted? Was this really Hua Jieyu's fate?
"Mother, I miss him. I want to go find him," Hua Jieyu said while crying.
"Silly girl, they won't let you go." Nandou Wenyin shook her head. She had experienced all of this before.
Hua Jieyu acted as if she did not hear. She still turned around and walked in the air, wanting to leave.
However, outside the courtyard, many figures descended. They were all strong cultivators of the Nandou clan. The Emperor's decree had reached the Nandou clan but Hua Jieyu did not agree. Under such circumstances, how could they allow her to leave? Even if the Nandou clan did not stop her, Minister Hua would not let her go.
Seeing these figures, Hua Jieyu's eyes turned extremely cold. She turned around and returned to the courtyard.
"Jieyu, sometimes, people can't fight against fate." Nandou Wenshan sighed softly with some sadness. There was no way to fight against this situation.
This time, it was even more difficult than when Nandou Wenyin was jieyu's mother.
He was once just the Art Saint. Although the Nandou clan wanted to marry Minister Hua, with the Nandou clan's power, they were not powerful enough to get close to him. The Art Saint did not have the right to force him.
But now, it was different. She was conferred the title of Crown Princess. The Emperor had personally issued the decree. In the Nandou Nation, no one could go against it.
"No, I said before, I don't believe in fate." Hua Jieyu looked at her uncle and shook her head. "I will not go to the Imperial Palace and I will not become the Crown Princess. Never."
"Jieyu, don't have such thoughts." Nandou Wenshan's expression changed. Hua Jieyu's eyes were too determined, so determined that he was a little afraid. If Hua Jieyu wanted to fight against fate, there seemed to be only one way. But it was definitely not what he wanted to see.
"Uncle, can you go to the Guqin Gardens for me?" Hua Jieyu did not respond to Nandou Wenshan's words. Instead, she cried and begged.
"What do you want to do?" Nandou Wenshan asked.
"Tell him for me not to come to the Nandou clan tomorrow. Just say that the Nandou clan does not agree." Hua Jieyu's tone was extremely sad. When she spoke, tears kept flowing. How could she not want him to come? But deep down, she knew that this was the emperor's order. If he came, something would happen. She did not want anything to happen to him.
"What if he finds out about what happened here?" Nandou Wenshan asked.
"Then tell him that I don't like him anymore. I want to be the Crown Princess. Tell him to give up and never come to me again." When Hua Jieyu said this, tears streamed down her face. She felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.
Hearing this, Nandou Wenshan could only feel his heart wrench. He was extremely upset.
"Are you sure you want to say this?" Nandou Wenshan asked.
"Yes." Hua Jieyu nodded seriously.
"Okay." Nandou Wenshan nodded. "I'll go now."
With that, he turned and left.
Seeing him leave, Hua Jieyu squatted on the ground and hugged her knees, crying.
Nandou Wenyin's eyes were also filled with tears. She walked to Hua Jieyu and hugged her gently.
"Mother, why does my heart hurt so much?" Hua Jieyu's voice was heartbreaking.
"Mother's heart hurts too." Nandou Wenyin hated herself for being useless.
"Mother, if anything happens to me, you must take care of yourself," Hua Jieyu said.
"Silly girl." Nandou Wenyin's heart trembled but she didn't know how to comfort her daughter. She'd had this thought many times but she had Jieyu and the child she had with the man she loved.
…
In the Guqin Gardens, Ye Futian was confused after hearing Xia Fan's words.
The cheerful atmosphere in the Guqin Gardens was completely destroyed. Now, they were no longer worried about Ye Futian accompanying the Crown Prince's study attendant. They were more worried about what the Nandou clan would do.
Ye Futian wanted to go to the Nandou clan to take a look but was stopped by Yi Xiang and Tang Lan. The situation was unclear and Xia Feng was guarding outside. Ye Futian might be in danger if he went out. Tang Lan sent her first disciple, Nie Bing, to go and find out while the others waited.
However, before Nie Bing returned, Nandou Wenshan came to the Guqin Gardens.
When Ye Futian saw Nandou Wenshan appear, he immediately rushed forward and stared at him.
"What happened here?" Nandou Wenshan asked. Naturally, he saw the people outside.
"His Majesty ordered me to be the Crown Prince's study attendant," Ye Futian said.
Nandou Wenshan's expression darkened. They were a pair of lovers. Ye Futian was made the Crown Prince's study attendant and Hua Jieyu was made the Crown Princess. It seemed like a title but those who knew their relationship knew that it was a disaster.
"Where's Jieyu?" Ye Futian looked at Nandou Wenshan.
"Jieyu asked me to tell you something," Nandou Wenshan said.
"What?" Ye Futian asked.
"She said she doesn't like you anymore. She wants to be the Crown Princess. She wants you to give up and not look for her again," Nandou Wenshan said to the youth. Nandou Wenshan said, looking at the young man in front of him. He felt that he was being a little cruel, but he understood why Jieyu would say such cruel words.
Ye Futian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, not because of the cruel words, but because of the hidden meaning behind them. At this moment, how could he not understand what the Nandou Clan's decree was?
"Idiot." After a long time, Ye Futian spat out two words. Nandou Wenshan was stunned. Then he saw the youth's eyes turn red. He looked up at him and said, "Does she think I'll believe her words? Does she think I'm an idiot? "
Nandou Wenshan was speechless.
"Uncle," Ye Futian shouted, "tell me, how is she now?"
Hearing Ye Futian's words, Nandou Wenshan's heart trembled. He said to Ye Futian, "I'm very worried about that girl. She said she can't step into the palace and will never become the Crown Princess."
"Of course not. She's mine," Ye Futian said. "Why did the idiot emperor give such an order?"
"I don't know the details but I can tell you something," Nandou Wenshan said. "Minister Zuo once told Jieyu's fate. It's the fate of the Empress. Maybe he told the emperor that this is Jieyu's fate."
"Minister Zuo? Empress? "Ye Futian looked at Nandou Wenshan." Minister Zuo is an astrologer? "
"Yes." Nandou Wenshan nodded. At this moment, Ye Futian suddenly understood many things.
"You're wrong. Minister Zuo wouldn't tell the emperor." Ye Futian looked at Nandou Wenshan. Nandou Wenshan looked up at him in confusion.
