Chapter 1266 No Need to Worship Me as a God
The wonton stall owner spoke slowly, and Liang Chongyue listened attentively.
She never imagined that someone would travel such a long distance to witness her life.
That year in Guanzhong was very tough; so tough that she endured the sandstorms while relying on videos of Minglang and her mother to get through it all.
Now that time has passed, she has almost forgotten those days, but some people still remember them. When they mention them, her imposing figure is more memorable than her disheveled state at the time.
“I haven’t helped you with anything, so you don’t need to worship me as a god.”
Liang Chongyue took one tael of silver from his waist and placed it on the table, enough for him to make a living for seven or eight days.
“Your wontons are delicious. I remember there was a publicly funded school for children in Huaixiang City. Remember to send all the children there. Rather than just reminiscing about the past, remember to cherish the happiness of the present.”
Liang Chongyue did not press further about the so-called goddess's instructions; let bygones be bygones.
When she left with her mother, the owner of the wonton stall held the silver ingot, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
"Your Majesty's heroic deeds saved countless people in the past, and it is only right that you are revered as a god. It is the people's love and respect for Your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue chuckled softly, holding his mother's hand: "Compared to a god who receives offerings from people, I would rather be a mortal who is immersed in the world."
She was just an ordinary person living in this world, and it was because of the pull of emotions and desires that she did so many things.
She never claimed to be a saint, nor did she possess such great kindness.
Do not define yourself, do not restrict yourself.
He took his mother back to the small courtyard and saw that her eyes were tired and had faint dark circles.
"Mother, go to sleep first. I'll take you to visit Huaixiang City later."
Xiang Huayue had intended to ask about what happened last night, but she forgot about it on the way back and was urged by His Majesty to return to her room.
I fell asleep shortly after lying in bed.
Liang Chongyue was also tired. After resting for a while, she woke up to find that her mother was still sleeping.
The system was sleeping soundly by her bedside, snoring loudly enough to support seven or eight symphony orchestras.
Liang Chongyue pressed the mute button on the system's snoring sound; if she couldn't hear it, it wouldn't affect her.
He then opened the panel and began searching for Fei He's whereabouts.
The screen on the panel kept changing rapidly until she finally arrived at the place she was looking for.
She didn't miss Jiang Yubai's mischievous behavior when she was redirected, but Fei He seemed to have a better temper.
There was no way to coax or deceive someone, intimidate them, or let their little thoughts run wild until they realized there was no hope left and then they would behave themselves.
The carriage returned quickly, arriving back in Qiyang City just as dawn was breaking.
The light gray sky pressed down heavily, weighing on everyone's hearts, but thankfully this darkness was only temporary.
When the sun rises in the east, the sunlight will once again shine upon this land.
Fei He didn't waste any time and took Jiang Yubai directly to the brothel where he was trapped.
After the carriage stopped, Fei He simply said, "We've arrived."
Jiang Yubai slowly woke up, looked at him in confusion, and then realized where she was.
When the curtain was lifted, all the brothel entrances that had trapped him for life had been torn down, and the once bustling place was now sealed off with large seals.
Jiang Yubai thought he was still half asleep and his dream had come true.
He rubbed his eyes, staring at the black-lettered, white-background seal on the door, looking at it again and again.
Fei He remained seated in the carriage, watching his incredulous expression.
"Can I go down and take a look? Touch that seal?"
Jiang Yubai stared at the seal for a long time, still unable to believe it.
He had been imprisoned in the Lihua Brothel and knew what it was like to live in darkness there, with no hope in sight, and almost every day was a countdown to the destruction of one's life, with no one to rely on.
Fei He nodded, and Jiang Yubai rushed down before he could say anything more.
Because he opened and closed the carriage door so wide, the angle at which Fei He saw Jiang Yubai rushing towards Lihua Fang like a madman, dressed in rags.
His agitated and frantic appearance made it seem as if his brothel had been raided.
"Sir, won't you go down and take a look? Or should I go and keep an eye on him?"
Fei He waved his hand and declined the kindness of his bodyguards, saying that his men didn't need to lose face like this.
"He can't escape." Even if you gave him ten more lives, he still couldn't escape.
Before seeing the current Lihua Fang, Jiang Yubai would definitely have harbored the ambition to escape.
The place that once held his fate in its hands has now collapsed upon their reunion. After the initial euphoria, the fear within him must have been enough to crush his will to escape.
Fei He sat in the carriage and watched as Jiang Yubai went on a rampage, confirming that Lihua Fang was indeed closed.
The ferocity and rage of his maniac moments are replaced by a desolate silhouette after he calms down.
"Go and bring him back."
At Fei He's command, the guards beside him turned their horses around and rode towards Jiang Yubai.
"Our adults invite you in."
Jiang Yubai kept thinking about what he should do in the future. If he hadn't crashed into that carriage, Lihua Fang would have been finished.
But he just had to run into it, and now he's going to go down with Lihua Fang.
Jiang Yubai excitedly jumped off the carriage to confirm whether the seal on Lihua Fang was real, and then he was brought back dejectedly.
"Well? Is it confirmed now?"
Jiang Yu nodded numbly. When he got off the carriage, the indenture was placed on the seat where he was sitting.
Now that he's back, the contract of servitude is right beside him.
Remind him constantly what happened last night.
"Even if I hadn't crashed into the carriage, Lihua Brothel would have gone out of business, right?"
Unconvinced, he asked himself the question the first time, and then asked the person in front of him the second time.
Fei He was completely oblivious to his inner regret, and nodded under his slightly hopeful gaze.
"The Princess Qiyang you mistook for someone else last night has now been escorted away from Qiyang City."
Jiang Yubai was momentarily dazed and had some ringing in his ears. He couldn't hear what the person in front of him was saying, or perhaps he simply couldn't believe what they were saying.
"What did you say?"
Fei He patiently repeated what he had just said.
Jiang Yubai's mind went blank for a moment, a buzzing sound filling his brain, reminding him of the stupid thing he had done.
"You think it's a bad deal to crash into them?"
Jiang Yubai looked up and met the cold smile in his eyes, and a mix of emotions welled up inside her.
Princess Qiyang was escorted away from Qiyang City. Jiang Yubai couldn't think of anyone else who could easily do this except for the Empress, who was high above and whose actions were completely different from those of emperors throughout history.
But he couldn't believe that Qiyang City had been like this for so long, and just when he made a foolish mistake, Her Majesty the Empress discovered the problem with Qiyang City.
The matter was handled so quickly; if he had been more patient and waited, would the outcome have been different?
