The voice from inside was Bai Weiwei, choking in anger .
“How could he rebel . Of all the people who could have rebelled, why was it him?”
This… What did she mean by this?
Xie Yunting did not step in . He quietly stood outside .
He also heard the eunuch’s anxious voice . “Is it not easy to know someone’s face but difficult to understand their heart? Young Master, don’t be upset . ”
Tears streamed down Bai Weiwei’s face . She was drunk and as fierce as a hedgehog .
“I remember, when I saw him become champion, I begged my mother for a chance to sneak out of the palace to see him . ”
So drunk she even forgot to refer to herself with “we”1 .
Champion?
Xie Yunting listened, remembering that year he became champion, he had proudly marched through the streets in celebration of his achievements .

At that time, people all over the city came out to see him .
The little emperor also went?
“And later when I returned to the palace and fell ill, I was scolded by mother . But I don’t regret it . Who is Xie Yunting, a 6-time top scholar and the first person I admired and worshipped . ”
Xie Yunting, standing outside, was completely unprepared for her to say she worshipped him .
When he had seen her for the first time, the palace was already dyed with blood .
At that time, he had no impression of the look of hatred, but now it became clearer .
The little emperor’s voice softened . “Ah-Ji, you don’t even know how awesome Xie Yunting was at the time . So handsome, all the women threw flowers at him . ”
This soft, naive tone .
Like a feather, floating into people’s hearts .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to -15 . 】

After drinking, Bai Weiwei became excited and gestured wildly2 .
“After, exactly as I expected, he served very well as an official . Do you know how happy I was? Every time I heard about what problems he solved, I could eat a few more bowls of rice that day . I didn’t even feel the bitterness of the medicine . ”
Gao Jixiang started to cry again . His young master even worshipped Xie Yunting to this extent?
He used to spend so much time with the empress, and he didn’t even know .
Bai Weiwei excitedly rummaged through her drawer .
And then she brought out a little box . “Every time he finished a painting, I sent for people to deliver them to me . I’ve collected a lot . He likes painting the most . ”
Bai Weiwei had combed through the memories . Of course she knew how much the original had hated Xie Yunting .
Because Xie Yunting was too enchanting, every time he did something great, the empress would scold her .
The children from other families are so good, why are you such garbage?
It wasn’t surprising that the original did not have good thoughts about Xie Yunting .

The original collected the paintings because whenever she was angry, she would tear them up .
She could use this collection to instill the idea that she was a fan .
No matter what happened to Xie Yunting, surely he would be better to his admirers .
As soon as she opened the box, her face changed .
Terrible, the paintings were completely destroyed . Some had a few holes, and a few even had graffiti scrawled on them, with characters like “Xie Yunting drop dead . ”
The original was unexpectedly so resentful of the excellence of other family’s children .
If these were seen, she would be the one who dropped dead .
Before Gao Jixiang could see it, Bai Weiwei grabbed the bottle of wine, and poured it out .
And then she said coldly: “I forgot, the one I admire most has already rebelled . To still have these things, I’m ashamed to face my ancestors . ”
After that, she lit a fire and burned the paintings .
Xie Yunting pushed open the door . He saw the fire and the scorched paintings . They were indeed his .
And Bai Weiwei stood before the fire, eyes wet and filled with endless grief .
“I used to think, if I were emperor, I would make him the highest official, and not let anyone bully him . ”
Her tears slipped down her cheeks . Her words were sincere .
“I thought, when I become emperor, I would never be free . Then he could take my place and see how beautiful and prosperous the world was . A ruler and his minister in harmony . He would defend the country, and I would protect him with lifelong glory and splendor . ”
For a moment, Xie Yunting didn’t dare to step forward .
Her words struck his heart .
“But, he turned out to be a traitor . ”
