The Imperial College's

Eps. 35: Angry

Huang Yunxi and Yuwen Yue received news of Consort Di's death two hours after Consort Di's corpse was moved into the crate. The envoy said that Emperor Huang Yun Yi asked Huang Yunxi and Yuwen Yue to come to the palace that day. Without waiting for long, the two of them immediately rushed to fulfill the Emperor's call.

In Mingyan Palace, Emperor Huang Yun Yi stood his back to the door. His sturdy posture was slightly bent, a sign that the middle-aged man was trying to hold something on his shoulders.

Consort Di's death gave her a pretty harsh blow although all this time the First Queen's position had never changed in her heart. How not, Consort Di had been his second companion in leading the Dong Hua empire for decades.

The Emperor turned his back when the greeting sound of the pair of human children he had betrothed reached his ears. Huang Yunxi and Yuwen Yue lowered their heads before him, giving him respect without saying anything more. Emperor Huang Yun Yi grabbed the hands of the children, letting him have his sturdy posture back.

“Daddy, what really happened? Why Consorts Suicide?”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi sighed when he heard the question of his only daughter.

“This is the mystery.”

“But, in my opinion, nothing strange either. Concubine Di was crazy, she could act out of reason. I don't think we need to doubt it anymore,” Huang Yunxi said, making Yuwen Yue shake her head because the girl was so inconsistent.

“Yunxi, as Princess Xiyue, you shouldn't say that. Anyway, Consort Di is my concubine too.”

“Cih, he alone almost made me lose my self-esteem. Why do you still pity him.”

Huang Yunxi's sharp tongue was truly uncontrollable. The girl felt that Consort Di's death was appropriate, even she thought it was lacking because she herself had not witnessed how Consort Di had suffered from her insanity. Death for him was only a way out of escaping from wrongdoing until it was difficult to make him uncover the secret of the First Queen's death.

Now, that crazy concubine is dead. Huang Yunxi no longer had the chance to see him bend his knees begging for mercy in front of him for his involvement in the manipulation of his biological mother's death. Earlier, he had already vowed not to let go of the Concubine in no matter what. But if the woman died, then Huang Yunxi lost all the opportunities she had.

Strange, indeed. At a time like this, Consort Di had left instead. It seemed like God was siding with the woman to help her break free from the shackles and threats from Huang Yunxi. The timing of his death was a coincidence. Huang Yunxi suspected that all this was a fucking system that always upset her. The plot must have been altered by the little pear secretly.

“Because Grand Concubine Di died, the Palace had to carry out a mourning day for one year. Your wedding may have to be postponed until spring of next year.”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi was in a dilemma. Here, he had to play many roles at once. He had just lost one of his wives if judging from the side of a husband. As an Emperor, he had also lost one of his discussion friends which quite pleased him. As a father, he felt guilty for not being able to hasten the marriage ceremony of his only daughter due to customary laws and palace regulations that forbid marriage in times of mourning.

In fact, he planned to have a wedding between Huang Yunxi and Yuwen Yue in the spring. He even designed a fancy wedding for his daughter. Red cloths, wedding dresses, even to the preparation of dishes and the ceremony hall has also been prepared.

Emperor Huang Yun Yi really wanted to give the best marriage for his daughter as a form of atonement for her guilt because all this time he had only occasionally paid attention to Huang Yunxi. Honey, her hard work must be delayed before it comes to fruition. Fate is testing it this time.

“It's okay, Your Majesty. After all we are not in a hurry,” said Yuwen Yue.

Emperor Huang Yun Yi again sighed.

“Dad, I bet you called us not just to say this.”

“You're right. I do have something else to say to you guys.”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi then sat down on his seat of greatness. The anxiety that filled his heart felt would be bubbling at that very moment. This was a serious matter that would probably arise upon the death of Consort Di. The Emperor knew that something would definitely happen after today.

“Concubine Di is Grand Concubine. Liu's family is an official family. I'm afraid Liu Yang will hunt you down. Moreover, he knew that all this time Consort Di had never gotten along with you.”

“Dad also knows this?”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi nodded.

“Then why did you never help me?”

“I myself am confused.”

For some reason, Huang Yunxi's heart suddenly felt pain. His father's indifference and doubt made him angry. He knew that his father was an Emperor, but could he act as a father for him and husband for his birth mother for just one day? Couldn't his father strip off his imperial attributes and accompany him and Huang Yunji to play even once?

“If only father could be more resolute and the doubt in your heart was gone, then Consort Di would not fight me that day and end up crazy, ending life in this kind of miserable way. If only father had a little concern for my dead mother, Consort Di would not have dared to be arbitrary to a daughter of the late First Queen! You know how much oppression I received from him?”

Yuwen Yue was very surprised. This girl, how could she say that so boldly?

Emperor Huang Yun Yi lowered his head. He could not see his daughter's eyes. His heart became sick. So hurt.

“What do you mean?”

“If I don't show my talent, will you forever continue to blame me and find me useless? Will you give me the happiness I want? No, you never even asked me. Do you know how many insults I have received along the way and the hardships I have faced so far? No, you never know.”

Yuwen Yue held back Huang Yunxi's wrist, hinting for the girl to stop venting anger. He himself did not expect that Huang Yunxi was suddenly so angry that his emotions exploded like this. The situation was a bit chaotic, it would not be good if Huang Yunxi continuously pressured Emperor Huang Yun Yi with her questions.

“Yunxi, calm yourself!”

“Shut! You don't have to interfere in my business. Let me finish with this old man!”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi was getting bowed. All of Huang Yunxi's words were so pierced into his heart. All this time he was too focused on the government to forget about his own family. Emperor Huang Yun Yi was too busy hearing and denouncing the ugliness and shortcomings of Huang Yunxi to forget that she was his own biological daughter. Enraged, Huang Yunxi was indeed fit to be angry.

“Your Majesty, you are indeed a good Emperor. But, you failed as a husband and father!”

Huang Yunxi who was already overwhelmed with rage instantly walked out of Mingyan Palace just like that. There were tears dripping down her cheeks that she immediately wiped. Inside Mingyan Palace, Emperor Huang Yun Yi was still sitting glued to his place. His eyes became empty. Mind crumpled. The figure of the First Queen suddenly came overshadowing his eyes.

“Your Majesty, how is this?”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi was awakened. He looked at his future daughter-in-law with a faint look.

“Go. Pursue him.”

Yuwen Yue obeyed the orders of his Emperor. He immediately ran out of Mingyan Palace, looking for the whereabouts of his future wife. Several servants who passed by him lowered their heads, then one by one left. Yuwen Yue passed through the entrance gate, then dashed towards Liuli Palace.

After running quite a distance, he finally arrived in front of the gate. The door is open, which means the owner just got here. Sanqi, Huang Yunxi's personal servant looked at him with a frown. The servant was puzzled because just a moment ago, Huang Yunxi came over crying. Now, the Deputy Adviser of the Royal Academy also came in with gasping breaths.

“Where is he?”

“Inside, Sir. Sir, why is the Princess crying?”

Yuwen Yue did not answer the servant's question. He opened the entrance. On the study table that was quite high, Huang Yunxi seemed to be sitting down. The girl's eyes were blank, like there was mist blocking her. His hands clenched until his knuckles turned red.

“If you come to help the old man talk, then go. I won't listen to you.”

“No. I just wanted to ask why you could be that angry with His Majesty.”

“Didn't you hear all of my words?”

“I heard. But, did you ever think why His Majesty did that to you?”

“You will definitely say it all to protect me. Yuwen Yue, I'll tell you. The reason for such a cliche I already know.”

“Alright, alright. I'm not gonna bring it up again. However, there is one thing that might be His Majesty's greatest concern right now. I'm sure he's holding something back.”

“You still defend him?”

“Not, but listen to me. His Majesty seems to be worried that Liu Yang will bestow everything on you. Do you remember how he tried to get rid of you? Your Majesty must have known that Consort Di's death would be used by Liu Yang to bring you down. That's why he called us here.”

“Ckck. Only a side character can defeat a lead role like me?”

“Yunxi, I really don't know what you mean.”

Huang Yunxi smirked. Don't expect Liu Yang to bring him down on behalf of Consort Di's death. Huang Yunxi still had a thousand ways and millions of magic tools that could help her avoid trouble. He's not stupid. Even before Liu Yang touched his hair, he would chop the man up first.

“No need to worry. I have my own plan.”
