Chapter 314 Su Yue Returns to the Prime Minister's Residence

"Do you have anything else to say?" The emperor looked at Su Yue and sat down again.

Upon hearing this, all the officials and courtiers also stopped and continued to stand respectfully.

"I beg Your Majesty to hand over Concubine Yi in the prison to me for disposal. I know this request is too ridiculous, but Concubine Yi was thrown into the prison because she wanted to kill me. Most importantly, she killed my maid. I don't want to let the hatred between me and her go."

Su Yue knelt on the ground, and her clear voice echoed in the Golden Palace.

"Yuer, stop messing around." Prime Minister Su was standing next to Su Yue. After listening to Su Yue's words, he whispered a warning in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

How could a person who was personally imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison be sent out so easily? And how could he be handed over to a woman for disposal? Isn't this treating the laws of Dongyou as a joke?

Su Yue lowered her head and stopped talking. She certainly understood what her father meant. She could have used her marriage with Nanxing as a bargaining chip with the emperor, and the emperor would most likely agree for the sake of his son.

But she didn't want to. Her marriage with Nanxing shouldn't be involved with such a person.

The emperor just looked at Su Yue with an obscure look in his eyes. He knew that Su Yue had offered a betrothal gift before, but he didn't know why Shangguan Nanfeng forced her to accept it.

To be fair, when he was plotting the same trick, he did not know the true situation of General Gu at the border, otherwise he would not have written an order to transfer General Gu to Dongyou.

In his plan, General Gu was undoubtedly the most important part. Without General Gu, Dongyou could replace him with another general, and then how would he guard the pass? Generally speaking, Su Yue was partly responsible for the success of his plan.

In order to resolve her own crisis, Su Yue decisively escaped from her marriage and ran to the border to treat General Gu. In fact, this was also indirectly helping him. It was not an excessive thing for him personally to hand over the people in the Sky Prison to her.

However, he was the emperor and had to consider the royal reputation and laws. At least he could not agree to it openly.

"Su Yue, the country has its own laws. She has violated the laws of Dongyou, and I can't hand her over to you." After a long period of contemplation, the emperor finally spoke softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Yue lowered her head and said nothing more. She had originally been trying to take a gamble. If the emperor agreed, it would definitely be a good thing, but she also expected that he would disagree.

"General Gu, the war situation at the border is tense. I heard from the Crown Prince that the border is in urgent need of doctors. I have prepared 20 doctors. You can take them to the border after the court session. Okay, let's adjourn the court session."

The emperor looked at Gu Qingzhi, and after he finished speaking, he turned to look at Eunuch Zhu.

"I obey your command." Gu Qingzhi knelt down and responded loudly.

"Dismiss the court!" With a loud shout from Eunuch Zhu, all the court officials left the Golden Palace in an orderly manner.

"Yuer, don't blame your father. He is the emperor after all. It is impossible for him to ignore the laws of Dongyou and hand over a criminal to be dealt with privately."

Shangguan Nanxing saw Su Yue walking out of the Golden Palace with his head down, and hurriedly followed her and explained carefully.

"It's nothing. I can understand it." Su Yue looked up, glanced at Shangguan Nanxing, and forced a smile.

"Yuer, it's actually not difficult to get her out. If you don't mind, you can leave her to me."

When Shangguan Nanxing saw Su Yue like this, he understood that she must be feeling guilty about Su Qing's death, and now she was being rejected by her father.

"Then Su Yue will trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Su Yue heard Shangguan Nanxing mention it on his own initiative, which saved her the trouble of speaking.

"Leave this to me. But should I send the betrothal gift to the Princess's Residence or the Prime Minister's Residence? How about sending it to both places?"

When Shangguan Nanxing heard Su Yue deliberately calling him "Your Highness the Crown Prince", he straightened his body and asked with a serious face.

"Puchi, who would give two betrothal gifts to one person?" Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing who was pretending to be serious and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then I, Shangguan Nanxing, will give this example." Seeing that Su Yue's smile was no longer forced, Shangguan Nanxing knew that his words had worked, so he also let out a chuckle.

"Yu'er, would you like to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with your father?" Just as Shangguan Nanxing was talking to Su Yue, Prime Minister Su walked up quickly, bowed respectfully to Shangguan Nanxing, and then looked at his daughter.

"Yu'er, I'll go back first." Shangguan Nanxing saw Prime Minister Su coming over, so after saying goodbye to Su Yue, he nodded slightly to the Prime Minister and left quickly.

He must deliver the betrothal gifts today, and he can't make any more mistakes.

"Father, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing's departing back and suppressed her smile. Although her mother and father had divorced, her blood with him was inseparable.

Su Yue and the Prime Minister soon returned to the Prime Minister's residence in a carriage. The Prime Minister wanted to say something in the carriage, but when he saw that Su Yue had her eyes closed, he did not open his mouth.

"Yuer, you're here." Just as Su Yue got off the carriage, she saw her aunt coming towards her with a smile on her face.

"Aunt?" Su Yue was stunned at first, and then she saw two people standing behind her. It was her aunt Zhang, who was holding her grandmother and looking at her.

"Grandma, aunt." Su Yue called out twice and then stopped talking. She keenly noticed that something was wrong when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion today.

"Come in quickly, girl Yue. Your grandfather has been waiting in there for a long time."

Seeing that Su Yue was quite respectful to her and did not use her status as a princess to put pressure on her, Old Lady Su forced a gracious smile and waved at Su Yue.

"Yes, Yue girl, come here quickly, your brother and sister are back, and they should be here soon."

Zhang on the side also laughed. Her smile was kind, but she was complaining madly in her heart. Her niece looked like a country bumpkin when she was brought from the countryside. She didn't expect that in such a short time, she would become a noble princess. She was really lucky.

"Brother and sister?" Su Yue's heart skipped a beat when she heard Zhang's words, and then she thought of the brother and sister, Su Bin and Su Ning.

"Yes, they have been running around outside before, and only now have time to come back and visit. They heard that your sister is back, and they want to see you too."

Zhang heard the question in Su Yue's tone and hurried to explain.

She treasures her two children very much. Although her husband Su Mo is not good at business, her family is well-established in the water transportation business.

Her son Su Binwen was not good at business, but he had a good mind for business, so she sent her son to his father to teach him carefully. In Zhang's eyes, no matter whether he could become an official or not, having money in hand was the most important thing.

As for her daughter, she didn't want to be locked up in the boudoir like Su Xin, who was very petty, so Ning'er also stayed with her father, traveling around on the ship to see the world.

"I don't know what Yue'er is going to do with such a big fuss?"

Su Yue turned to look at her father, confusion in her eyes.

"Let's go to Zhiqing Hall first." Prime Minister Su glanced at Su Yue and did not answer. He just led the way in.
