Chapter 1148: Carriage Problem

The little princess is not someone who refuses to listen to advice. Although she is deeply loved by her father, the emperor and her mother, she can do whatever she wants in the capital. In fact, this is what many people see on the surface.

But in reality, the little princess is a person who knows how to act in moderation. She knows very well how to do bad things within the tolerance of adults so as to achieve the effect of "being scolded but not punished."

Hua Luan is far more sensitive inside than she appears to be. Her cautious character despite being favored by the emperor actually comes from her extraordinary ability to see into people's hearts.

In the eyes of the little princess, there was always an inexplicable strange disharmony in the love from her father, as if it was a drop of ink that fell into the water and could not disperse. Although the water surface was still clear before the ink drop spread, it still contained a hint of threat.

So after hearing Caiyun's advice, the little princess, who always acted without scruples, hesitated a bit.

Her father was a very "enlightened" emperor. To that extent, even after the little princess blatantly began to express her thoughts on the supreme throne, he would still smile and touch her head to encourage her.

But this does not mean that the emperor would turn a blind eye to all the actions of the little princess. The imperial power was easily abandoned simply because the emperor did not take the supreme position seriously. Therefore, no matter how Hua Luan acted presumptuously, the other party would just laugh it off.

There are indeed not many things in this world that can be valued by the emperor. The one in the cold palace may be one of them, because the more forbidden something is, the more curious it arouses.

So much so that when the little princess was just old enough to understand things, she was always very curious about the cold palace where outsiders were forbidden to enter, which was different from the Zixiao Palace which was nominally off-limits but was actually the little princess's playground.

There has never been a ban on outsiders entering the cold palace, but no matter how the little princess tried, she just couldn't get in. Every time she was about to succeed, there would always be a little eunuch with a smile on his face stopping her.

The little princess jokingly told the matter to the chief eunuch in the palace.

"Is there any place in this imperial city that I cannot go to?" The little princess stared at Cao Shun and questioned.

Eunuch Cao responded with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Highness. His Majesty has never issued such an order. Your Highness can go anywhere in the imperial city. I will definitely teach those ignorant servants a lesson."

As a result, when the little princess went to the gate of the cold palace again, she never saw the little eunuch again, but she still could not enter the cold palace. In fact, every time Hua Luan went there, the eunuch who blocked her way was different.

Later, Caiyun found out privately that since she "complained" to the chief eunuch Cao Shun that day, every time the princess left the cold palace, a eunuch in the inner palace would suddenly die.

After the little princess knew this, she seemed to suddenly understand something. From then on, she never tried to explore the secrets of the cold palace again.

The cold palace is a forbidden area that the little princess cannot reach. It is also the place controlled by the vague and strange existence that remains after her father was stripped of the two roles of father and emperor.

Although she wanted to explore the secret deep down in her heart, the suffocating feeling of being in the void every time she met those endlessly smiling eyes made the little princess hesitate.

The little princess has a good father who tolerates all her willfulness and mischief. At the same time, she also has a strange father, a man who sometimes looks at her as a stranger. It seems that he is just wearing the cloak of "father", but he is something completely different inside.

The little princess is a good child because she knows not to touch her father's forbidden areas. At the same time, the little princess is also a bad child because the more she endures, the more she wants to know the secrets behind the palace wall.

So when Caiyun's expression gradually became anxious, the little princess said to her: "I know, if this is the case, then it's better for me not to know."

Caiyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is wise."

"But I still have to tell the teacher about this. After all, he has asked me to do it like that." The little princess continued.

Caiyun did not express any more objections to this. After all, as long as the princess did not try to explore the secrets about His Majesty, there would be no problem. As for Qi Yunzhou, the dean of Meihua Academy was a smart man and would not seek his own death.

So, the next day the little princess went to the academy, and handed the imperial edict directly to Qi Yunzhou while he was teaching. Yes, this imperial edict was secretly brought out from the Meng family by the daring little princess.

Anyway, the Meng family usually put the imperial edict in a hidden place and never read it. As long as Qi Yunzhou put it back after using it, it would be safe. After seeing the imperial edict, Qi Yunzhou's expression did not change much about the content, as if he had expected it. Instead, he looked at the little princess with a little more speechlessness because of her behavior.

Qi Yunzhou put the things away and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness. However, since the things have been taken out, please allow me to borrow them for a few days. Afterwards, I will trouble Your Highness to return them intact."

The little princess nodded slightly: "Since I have promised the teacher, I should follow through with what I have started."

The topic came to an end, and the little princess continued: "Teacher, you and my father are from the same school, so you must know him very well, right?"

Qi Yunzhou looked at the little princess in surprise, and then said, "Although we are from the same school, I have only a superficial acquaintance with Your Majesty, so I cannot say that I know him very well. Besides, Your Majesty is deeply favored by the Emperor, so you should not have such worries."

Qi Yunzhou thought that the little princess wanted to please the emperor so that she could do a better job. He felt that this was unnecessary. The emperor's favor to Princess Hualuan had already reached its peak, and there was no need to continue to exert effort in this regard.

"That's not what I meant." The little princess waved her hand, then rested her chin on the table and said faintly, "It's just that I suddenly felt that I don't seem to understand my father very well, so I wanted to ask the teacher."

Looking at the depressed princess, Qi Yunzhou secretly sighed that she was indeed a delicate child. Even at such a young age, she could see something wrong with His Majesty.

". Allow me to ask Your Highness a question."

Qi Yunzhou spoke up after a moment of silence: "If one day your carriage got startled on the road and started running wildly on the street, and there were two roads ahead to choose from, one road had five civilians who couldn't react in time, and the other road had only one civilian who couldn't react in time, what would your Highness choose?"

The little princess was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Teacher, why do you ask such a strange question? It sounds like my father's style."

Qi Yunzhou smiled and said, "Your Highness is smart. This is exactly the question that His Majesty once asked me."

The little princess frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "If I have to choose between five lives and one life, I will choose to save the five people."

"Your Highness is merciful," Qi Yunzhou nodded, and then continued: "In that case, let's change the premise. Suppose Your Highness is not in the carriage, but on a tall building beside the street. At this moment, there are still five civilians below who are about to be hit by the carriage. However, there happens to be a tall and fat strongman next to Your Highness. If we push him off the street, he can just stop the carriage from moving forward."

The little princess frowned even more deeply: "In this case, will the person I push down die?"

"Of course I will." Qi Yunzhou said.

The little princess shook her head and said, "How can I do this? If I push this person down, wouldn't that be intentionally killing him?"

Qi Yunzhou smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the difference? Your Highness just chose to kill one person instead of five people. Now you choose to kill one person and save five people. The result is the same."

"How can this be considered the same?"

The little princess thought for a long time, but still had no result. Finally, she looked at Qi Yunzhou and asked, "This is the question raised by my father, so he must know the correct answer, right?"

"Of course there is an answer, and the correct answer is also correct. After all, it is the result given by His Majesty."

Qi Yunzhou laughed: "Your Majesty's answer is 'You can use martial arts to stop the carriage'."

The little princess was stunned, then her face turned red: "What is this! This is obviously cheating! The teacher didn't say that I could use martial arts at the beginning!"

Qi Yunzhou calmly soothed him, "Because His Majesty is the one who set the question, he can give any answer he wants, and Your Highness can only obey. So it is natural that you cannot answer this kind of question. Your Highness does not need to be angry."
