The Princess Story's

Ep 224's. Meet the Empress

"Right, His Highness who used to look more like a walking statue. Not having any emotions on his face and not caring about anything. Even though this world is collapsing, it seems like His Majesty won't care either." Yu said.

"Right now looks different, he can smile and cry when he is next to the Empress." continued Ti Yi.

Yu and Ti Yi looked back at each other then turned their gazes towards Ti Liu.

"Liu, you used to look like that too!" Ti Yi.

Yu nodded then added, "The old Liu won't gossip with us here. He just stood still like a display statue without any reaction."

"It seems like everyone started to change when the Empress entered this residence. The residence that was once as cold as ice was finally able to warm thanks to the presence of our Empress." said Ti Liu.

"What are you talking about?" asked King Wei who had just entered the study.

"We are talking about the Empress making this residence more lively" replied Yu.

King Wei smiled smugly at the praise for Se Se, he then said proudly, "My empress is indeed the best."

Yu and Ti Yi laughed looking at their big boss who was smiling every time talking about the Empress.

In an instant the room became quiet, Yu's expression turned serious.

"Your Majesty, there are some women who have no family. They have no home or place to return to." Yu reported.

"Just ask them what they want to do or where they want to go. Let them determine their own way of life." replied King Wei as he read the documents already piled on the table.

"There's one person who doesn't have a purpose, right... Not just a goal, he didn't even have any hope for life. What should we do with the girl?" ask Yu.

King Wei stopped looking at the documents, he looked at Yu then thought for a moment.

"Take her here and hand the girl over to the Empress!" said King Wei with a smile.

Yu understood what King Wei was thinking. "If the Empress, she could definitely restore the girl's life's will."

Cu Ye Lie was at the residence with five other women who had yet to make their choice. One of the five women felt sorry to see Cu Ye Lie's condition not improve after two days out of prison.

"Miss, we are all now separated from Long Au Ping. Miss should move on with your life. Don't be sad all the time."

Cu Ye Lie looked at the woman, he smiled then held her hands together. "I'm fine, thanks for worrying about me."

"Did Miss Cu Ye Lie decide where to go?"

Cu Ye Lie shook his head, "I have no purpose nor do I know what to do in front of him." replied Cu Ye Lie.

"Will Miss come with us?" ask the woman again.

Cu Ye Lie looked into the woman's eyes as if to ask, "Where are you going?"

"The five of us decided to open a bakery together. Mr. Yu said if his employer would give us the capital for our efforts."

"I haven't decided on that yet, I will think about it again after meeting Master Yu's master." replied Cu Ye Lie.

"Alright, we will always wait for you Miss Cu Ye Lie, come to us if you have decided to come" said the woman.

"Thank you" said Cu Ye Lie.

Cu Ye Lie again sat pensively staring out the window. His eyes looked tired, the look on his face looked like a person who had given up on life.

"Miss Cu, if you're done eating, come with me! There is someone who wants to meet you." said Yu.

"Let's go now! I have no appetite." replied Cu Ye Lie as he prepared to stand up from his seat.

Yu restrained the shoulder of Cu Ye Lie who was about to stand up, "Eat a little even though this food does not suit your taste." said Yu.

Cu Ye Lie styled Yu's eyes for a moment before finally sitting back down and taking his food.

A while later Cu Ye Lie had finished with his meal. Although only a few mouthfuls of bribes entered his mouth, Yu thought it was better than not eating anything.

"Let's follow me!" yu said while walking first.

Cu Ye Lie was led up to the horse carriage that Yu had prepared. The journey to the main residence only takes 20 minutes by horse carriage.

Arriving at the residence, Yu helped Cu Ye Lie down from the horse carriage. They headed straight to the living room, there were two maids standing at the door, one waiter prepares a drink while the other waiter is assigned to tell Se Se that Cu Ye Lie has arrived.

Five minutes waiting, Se Se walked into the living room accompanied by the waiter.

Cu Ye Lie who had been daydreaming since then was now looking at Se Se with admiration. Beautiful, graceful, dignified, an aura that is difficult to express with words.

"The empress, she is Cu Ye Lie whom I told you about last night" said Yu introducing Cu Ye Lie.

"Pers... The empress?" murmured Cu Ye Lie in shock.

"Give respect to the Empress!" yu's orders.

Cu Ye Lie immediately kneeled in respect, suddenly he was trembling in fear when he heard the Empress's words.

"Regend! No need to kneel like that!" se Se said as she reached out to help Cu Ye Lie stand up.

"I don't dare!" answer Cu Ye Lie.

"Don't be afraid, the Empress is a kind person." whispered Yu as she helped Cu Ye Lie stand up.

"I've heard your story from Yu, but I want you to tell me about yourself!" se Se said after sitting in the main seat.

"...."

Cu Ye Lie tightly grasped his hand. The fear and uneasiness of his actions that had killed Long Au Ping was revealed.

"All of you, wait outside!" se Se Command.

Now the room only has Se Se and Cu Ye Lie. Looking at the increasingly frightened Cu Ye Lie, Se Se softened his voice.

"Tell me the truth, I won't punish you."

Cu Ye Lie looked Se Se's eyes, hesitatingly hesitatingly he began to tell from the start Cu Ye Lie was sold by his father until he finally met the maid who gave him poison and daggers.

"I... I killed Lord Long Au Ping, I was so scared back then, I didn't accept being treated that way." said Cu Ye Lie, who began to cry in fear in light of the events of that night.
