Xu Tianran tilted his head slightly and happened to see her raised face with a bright and joyful expression.
I couldn't help but frown.
This face was completely different from the one of the queen who had hated him for more than ten years.
He realized again that this orange was not the orange that he placed in the position of queen several years later.
No matter what she resented him for in the future, at least at this moment, she had no reason to resent the savior in front of her.
Xu Tianran was silent for a long time.
The murderous intent that was like a lump in my heart slowly dissipated with the wind.
He didn't let Orange go after he colluded with outsiders and betrayed him more than ten years later.
Instead, I said goodbye to myself, who had been unable to figure out the past few decades.
Seeing Orange like this made him realize that he might have done many unreasonable and inappropriate things in his previous life.
Even if he does not repent for it or stop, taking a gentler approach may have unexpected results.
He could no longer trust and accept the girl in front of him. Giving up on her was the greatest tolerance he could show. From now on, they should part ways.
"Juzi, you don't have to consider yourself my maid anymore, and you don't have to return to the palace. Just be an ordinary person. I...will also move on."
The girl with beautiful skin suddenly froze in place, a look of confusion and astonishment flashing across her pretty face. She didn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, or what it meant to keep moving forward, but she did understand clearly that she didn't have to go back to the palace.
She was always calm, but suddenly panicked, looking up at a loss, "Your Majesty, what did Orange do wrong?"
"Please give me another chance..."
Xu Tianran interrupted calmly, "I'm setting you free. Aren't you happy? You can do whatever you want from now on. You don't have to report to me, and you don't have to consider entering the palace as your destiny. This is the treatment that countless elite female soul mentors who have signed contracts have dreamed of. The royal family funded their growth, and they should repay it;"
"You should have done the same, but I don't need you to."
After saying this, he didn't explain anything further. He waved his hand and strode forward.
Orange's face turned pale, her heart aching as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. She stood there for a moment, then quickly caught up with him. She wanted to ask him clearly what she had done to make him treat her so coldly.
Wasn't he fine just now?
You came to the college to visit me.
Orange's mood at this moment is like a weed that she has just caught on the shore of a rapids, recovering from the huge reality. But this weed is about to break, and she can't accept it.
But the tall figure in front of her was walking so fast that she couldn't catch up.
After running across most of the college, the figure that was clearly close at hand seemed to be separated from him by a mountain.
Because of the intense exercise and the low mood, Orange's chest was beating up and down, and it was painful like a collision, and he didn't have time to catch his breath.
She saw the gorgeous figure suddenly board the royal car with a blond girl with an excellent temperament from the back, and leave outside the academy under the escort of several plainclothes attendants.
There was no way she could catch up.
Orange stubbornly quickened his pace, breathing heavily, and stretched out his hand to grab the special car, but was suddenly blocked by an arm.
With this obstruction, the special car really went away completely.
Orange raised his head in anger, with endless murderous intent in his heart. He stared at the figure in front of him so hard that he couldn't help but take two steps back, his cynical and handsome face a little dazed.
The visitor was named Wang Shaojie, also a disciple of mentor Xuan Ziwen. He was just squeezed in based on his family background. It was rumored that he was the grandson of a royal princess, and Ju Zi had always looked down on him.
Wang Shaojie quickly realized that he didn't need to be afraid of her anymore. He had just seen this woman severely offend the royal noble.
Ignoring her pursuit, Wang Shaojie took a step forward, staring at that pretty face and jokingly said, "I've always been curious about your relationship with the royal family. Did that person just now look like a prince?"
"Miss Orange, it seems you've offended your financial sponsor. Would you like me to help you out?"
Wang Shaojie stared at the girl in front of him with a slightly aggressive look. She was the most beautiful girl in the entire academy. She had a very good complexion.It seems to be able to squeeze out water.
What is particularly rare is her talent. As Xuan Ziwen's youngest closed disciple, she obtained the fourth-level soul guide medal at the age of sixteen. This is conspicuous in the field of soul guides, which is still dominated by men.
Wang Shaojie had been envious of her outstanding appearance and excellent talent for a long time.
But considering her rumored powerful background, he never dared to act rashly.
Things are different now. This beauty whose surname is not Xu is probably the plaything of some noble in the royal family, and it seems that she has offended the other person.
This made Wang Shaojie, who was witnessing the whole scene, couldn't help but start to think.
Being in college, he certainly couldn't force her, but people had to graduate eventually, and society was different from the college in an ivory tower. By then, with the power of his family, it wouldn't be difficult to force her to submit, or even prevent other men from daring to touch her.
Orange saw through his thoughts at a glance, disgust flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the disappeared special car, and had no choice but to turn around and leave.
She didn't want to talk to Wang Shaojie who was trying to provoke her.
Wang Shaojie stuck to it like a dog-skin plaster, grinning and saying, "How can you get so many rare metal materials without funding? Even with your subsidies, it's impossible. Don't dream. No matter how much your subsidies are, they're not as much as what slips through my fingers..."
Before he could finish his words, his words suddenly stopped and he felt some kind of pulling force on his back.
The whole person seemed to be in the air, and the sack flew out.
"Get away!"
"A toad wants to eat swan flesh."
Before Wang Shaojie could say anything, he screamed and was thrown hundreds of meters away.
When Orange heard the voice, he turned around suddenly. The moment he saw it, a look of deep disappointment flashed across his face, but then he returned to normal.
She forced a smile and looked at Gao Ming, the former commander of the Eastern Palace guards and current deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.
When she was picked up by Xu Tianran in her early years, Gao Ming was his accompanying guard. Over the years, she had also been in contact with the eldest prince through the latter.
"Commander Gao? Did the Emperor send you here?"
Gao Ming threw the clueless toad away and sneered in his heart, you can't just pick up the bowl and chopsticks that His Majesty has eaten with!
Then he heard a voice and turned to look at Juzi: "Yes... and no, His Majesty asked me to give you a final sum of money. He said this is the last payment, so you don't have to worry about the present, focus on your studies, and don't waste your talent."
"Even if we never meet again, His Majesty hopes that you can live a good life and love our great motherland."
The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard had an unnatural look on his face. The honest man was not good at lying, and most of the words of advice were certainly made up by him to comfort himself.
His Majesty the Emperor only asked him to send money, but considering the pitiful situation the girl had experienced before, it wouldn't hurt to say a few more words of comfort.
Orange was deeply moved.
But after a moment, she thought of the scene before she left, the blonde girl. She was silent for a moment and asked, "Who was that girl just now?"
