Chapter 27 Unparalleled Fame
"Your child does not despise you, nor does he wish to leave you."
"But it's really impossible between us."
"Your child has always regarded you as the most respected elder and the closest relative."
"I don't want our relationship to become so unbearable."
His voice was sincere and earnest.
Li Yunrui looked into Ye Tian's clear yet earnest eyes.
The despair and madness in my heart gradually subsided.
She knew that Ye Tian was telling the truth.
She knew that her behavior just now had indeed gone too far.
"I'm sorry, Tian'er."
Li Yunrui choked up as she spoke, her voice filled with endless regret and self-blame.
"It's the mother's fault, it's the mother's fault."
"Mother, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have done that to you..."
She was sobbing uncontrollably, her tear-streaked face evoking pity in everyone.
Looking at her, Ye Tian felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.
He knew that this crazy foster mother was actually a pitiful person.
She spent her whole life pursuing love, yet she was hurt by love throughout her life.
"Mother, please don't cry."
Ye Tian reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Li Yunrui's face.
Let bygones be bygones.
"Let's continue like before, okay?"
His voice was full of gentleness and a hint of helplessness.
Li Yunrui looked at Ye Tian and nodded with tears in her eyes.
She knew that she had completely lost this man.
But at least, she could stay by his side as his "mother".
For her, this might already be the best ending.
"Tian'er, thank you."
Li Yunrui said, choking back tears.
Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
It was Yan Xiaoyi's voice.
"The palace! People from the palace have arrived!"
"Your Majesty, please grant an audience with Young Master Ye!"
Emperor Qing?!
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian and Li Yunrui's expressions changed simultaneously!
What was the purpose of this unfathomable emperor summoning Ye Tian at this time?
A new storm seems to be brewing.
··········
Emperor Qing's sudden summons was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the eerie atmosphere that had just begun to ease within the Princess's residence.
Li Yunrui's face turned deathly pale instantly!
Her phoenix eyes, which had just stopped crying, were once again filled with fear and unease.
"Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty suddenly summon Tian'er?"
She muttered to herself, her voice tinged with barely concealed panic.
She knew Emperor Qing's character all too well.
This emperor had a mind as deep as the sea and always acted with meticulous care.
He would never summon a thirteen-year-old boy without a reason.
unless,
What did he find out?!
Or rather, what does he want to do?
The thought of Ye Tian's true identity—Ye Qingmei's son!
An overwhelming sense of fear welled up in Li Yunrui's heart!
She was afraid, afraid that Emperor Qing would harm Ye Tian!
She was afraid, afraid that she would lose the only light in her life again!
"No! I can't let Tian'er go to see His Majesty alone!"
Li Yunrui suddenly stood up, a resolute glint in his eyes.
She grabbed Ye Tian's hand and said firmly, "Tian'er, don't be afraid!"
"Mother, I'll go to the palace with you!"
She wants to see Emperor Qing in person!
She wanted to ask Emperor Qing face to face what he really wanted to do!
If Emperor Qing really dares to harm Ye Tian, she, she will risk her life to prevent him from succeeding!
Looking into Li Yunrui's eyes, which were filled with worry and determination, Ye Tian felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He knew that this crazy foster mother, although she had an eccentric personality and acted madly.
But at this moment, her protection and care for herself came from the bottom of her heart.
"Mother, you don't need to be so nervous."
Ye Tian grasped Li Yunrui's hand in return and said calmly.
"His Majesty's summons to see me may not necessarily be a bad thing."
"Perhaps, they just want to see their son, the 'greatest talent in the world,' who knows?"
His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he didn't take Emperor Qing's summons to heart at all.
Seeing Ye Tian's calm and composed demeanor, Li Yunrui's panic subsided somewhat.
Yes, her son is so outstanding, so extraordinary.
Even His Majesty would look at him differently, wouldn't he?
"But,"
Li Yunrui was still somewhat uneasy.
No matter when or where, Cola Novels is your most loyal reading companion.
"What if, what if His Majesty..."
"Don't worry, Mother," Ye Tian interrupted Li Yunrui, his eyes filled with confidence.
"I know what I'm doing."
"Whatever Your Majesty's plans, I can handle them."
His current strength is vastly different from what it used to be.
Not only does he possess the martial arts cultivation of the ninth rank peak, but he also commands the Bad Guys, the Net, and three top-tier combat forces at the Grandmaster level!
Even when facing the unfathomable Emperor Qing, he had enough confidence and assurance!
Looking into Ye Tian's eyes, which were full of confidence and strength, Li Yunrui's worries gradually dissipated.
She suddenly realized that her nominally adopted son seemed to have really grown up.
He was no longer the baby who needed her constant protection.
He has already acquired enough power to contend with this world!
"it is good."
Li Yunrui took a deep breath and nodded.
"In that case, Mother will accompany you to the palace!"
"No matter what happens, your mother will always be on your side!"
Her voice was filled with an undeniable firmness.
Looking at her, Ye Tian felt a surge of inexplicable emotion.
He knew that Li Yunrui's "motherly love," though distorted, was also sincere.
.
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
Emperor Qing sat upright on the dragon throne, toying with a crystal-clear jade thumb ring in his hand. His eyes were as deep as the sea, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Hong Sixiang stood by, not daring to utter a sound.
He could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the Imperial Study today was more somber than ever before.
Just then, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the Princess and Young Master Ye are requesting an audience outside the palace."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"Oh? Yunrui is here too?"
"It seems she really cares about this adopted son."
His tone revealed no emotion.
"Announce."
"As you command."
Soon, Li Yunrui led Ye Tian slowly into the Imperial Study.
Li Yunrui's face held just the right amount of respect and a barely perceptible hint of nervousness.
Ye Tian, however, remained calm, composed, and neither arrogant nor humble.
It was as if they didn't take the emperor in front of them seriously at all.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects."
The two bowed simultaneously.
"Rise."
Emperor Qing waved his hand, his gaze falling on Ye Tian as he scrutinized him closely.
Six years have passed.
This child has grown quite a bit taller and more handsome.
Especially those eyes, they looked exactly like Ye Qingmei's.
Clear and bright, yet with a hint of unfathomable depth.
Emperor Qing felt a sudden tightness in his chest for no apparent reason.
This child is making him feel increasingly dangerous.
"Ye Tian".
Emperor Qing spoke slowly, his voice calm and undisturbed.
"I've heard that you've been making quite a splash in the capital lately."
"Not only did he write 'Dream of the Red Chamber'"
The extraordinary novel *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* even cured Wan'er's long-standing ailment.
"Truly, he's young and promising, with a bright future ahead of him."
His tone carried a hint of admiration, but also a hint of probing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty flatters me."
"I was just lucky; I dare not take on such a great responsibility."
His answer was impeccable, humble, and appropriate.
Emperor Qing looked at him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
This child was even more composed than he had imagined.
It seems that today's "summons" will not go so smoothly.
An invisible contest quietly unfolded within the Imperial Study.
············
The air in the Imperial Study seemed to freeze, filled with an invisible pressure.
Emperor Qing's deep eyes, like two bottomless ancient wells, were fixed on Ye Tian, as if he wanted to see through him completely.
Ye Tian met his gaze calmly, his eyes clear and unwavering, as if he hadn't felt the oppressive aura emanating from the emperor at all.
"Just lucky?"
Emperor Qing chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of noncommittal.
"To be able to write such extraordinary books as 'Dream of the Red Chamber' and 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' that are destined to be passed down through the ages,
To describe it merely as "lucky" would be far too modest.
"I think that you, Young Master Ye, are truly a man of great vision and profound knowledge."
His words, seemingly complimentary, were actually laced with sarcasm and full of probing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian maintained his calm smile and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty flatters me."
