Chapter 148 Lin Ruoli, from now on you are no longer my daughter
Yu Youning thought about it seriously, "Then...can I not go to the Imperial College?"
Yu Tingwan, "......"
Chu Huai Preface, "..."
emperor,"???"
He thought Yu Youning would make some request, but he didn't expect that she just didn't want to go to school!
Yu Tingwan felt even more helpless. How much did Youning dislike going to the Imperial College?
Since she doesn't want to go so much, shouldn't we force her?
After the emperor came back to his senses from his surprise, he just felt like laughing.
He didn't say whether he agreed or not, but just looked at Jiang Lingzhou curiously, "What do you want?"
Jiang Lingzhou bowed and said, "I hope the emperor will agree to Youning's request."
The emperor burst into laughter, almost crying.
These two little guys are really worthy of being brothers and sisters!
Yu Youning opened her big eyes and looked at the emperor with confusion.
What are you laughing at!
Do you agree or not?
Sensing Yu Youning's curiosity and anxiety, the emperor suppressed his laughter and spoke slowly, "Since both of you say so, I have no choice but to agree. However, Youning, you still have to ask your parents and your grandfather for their opinions."
Yu Youning waved her hand, "No need to ask! You are the emperor! Isn't it said that the emperor's words are the imperial decree? My father, mother and grandfather would definitely not dare to disobey the imperial decree!"
Finally, I don’t have to go to the Imperial College anymore!
This is really great!
When the emperor heard what Yu Youning said, he laughed even harder.
This little girl is so clever!
In the past, she never treated his words as imperial decrees, but now she can't disobey him even if she says so!
Although Yu Tingwan felt a little helpless, he did not intend to continue forcing Yu Youning to go to the Imperial College.
Yu Youning didn't have to take the imperial examination, so the Four Books and Five Classics were just for her to understand things. Since she didn't want to study in the Imperial College, it would be the same if she studied at home.
Yu Tingwan agreed, so Wen Shiyan and Marshal Wen naturally had no objections.
Yu Youning jumped and danced with joy, and Jiang Lingzhou was also happy for Yu Youning.
For a moment, the world was filled with only Chu Huaixu injured!
Chu Huaixu looked at the emperor with some resentment, accusing him with his eyes.
The emperor felt Chu Huaixu's gaze, but pretended not to see it.
He has already promised Yu Youning, is he going to go back on his word in public now?
Even if he, as an emperor, had no shame, I'm afraid Yu Youning would not agree.
The emperor immediately stood up and said, "This matter has come to an end. I'm sure you haven't had enough rest these days. Go back and wash up and have a good rest! The Queen and I will take the Crown Prince back to the palace first."
Yu Youning quickly looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, where are Li'er and her mother now? I want to see them."
"You still want to ask about your mother-in-law?" The emperor frowned slightly. "I've already had people thoroughly question her, and it seems they really don't know anything."
"But I still want to meet them."
Seeing Yu Youning's insistence, the emperor agreed. "They are locked up in the dungeon. Since you want to see them, let Yuwen Cheng take you to see them!"
Chu Huaixu hurriedly said, "Father, I want to go and take a look too!"
Thinking of Lin Ruoli's obsession with Chu Huaixu, the emperor readily agreed, "Then let's go together! Remember to return to the palace early and spend more time with your mother. Your mother has been worried about you all this time."
"Your son will go back early!" Chu Huaixu responded quickly.
The queen looked at Chu Huaixu reluctantly, but ultimately did not stop him.
After the emperor and the empress left, Marshal Wen also left with Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan.
Yu Youning, Chu Huaixu, and Jiang Lingzhou followed Yu Wencheng to the dungeon.
The dungeon was very dark and damp. Not only was there a musty smell in the air, but there was also the sound of rats scurrying away in panic after hearing human footsteps.
Yuwen Cheng looked at Chu Huaixu and the other two with some concern, fearing that they would be frightened by this scene.
Seeing that the three of them looked normal, he felt relieved.
Yu Wencheng didn't stop until he reached the depths of the dungeon.
"Your Highness, we're here. This is it."
Yu Wencheng had just finished saying this when Lin Siqiong and Lin Ruoli, who were cuddling together in the cell, looked over at the same time.
When they saw Chu Huaixu standing outside, Lin Siqiong and Lin Ruoli immediately ran over.
Lin Ruoli's face was filled with surprise, "Brother Prince! You're okay! That's great!"
Lin Siqiong was filled with anxiety. "The Crown Prince is fine now. Does that mean the medicine I gave him was effective? We saved the Crown Prince. Let us out now!"
As she spoke, Lin Siqiong stretched her hand out from the fence, trying desperately to grab Chu Huaixu's clothes.
Seeing this, Yuwen Cheng immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Lin Siqiong, "Put your hand away! You'd better behave yourself, or don't blame me for being rude!"
After more than ten days of experience, Lin Siqiong didn't dare to act recklessly. She immediately withdrew her hand, but her eyes were still full of urgency. "Your Highness, I took out the prescription and saved you! You must let me out! You can't be ungrateful and treat your savior like this!"
“No!”
Yu Youning shook his head.
"The prescription you gave me can't cure the disease, it can even harm people."
"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Siqiong stared at Yu Youning with bloodshot eyes, "You're talking nonsense! My mother-in-law wouldn't lie to me! There's no way my mother-in-law would lie to me! But she—"
Having said this, Lin Siqiong suddenly woke up, stopped talking, her eyes became vague, and she stepped back.
Yu Wencheng looked at Lin Siqiong in shock. "What do you mean by that? What did you want to say just now? What other relationship do you have with your mother-in-law? Why didn't you say it before?"
While questioning, Yu Wencheng became more and more panicked.
He had people interrogate Lin Siqiong many times, and he also came to interrogate her himself, but he didn't get anything out of her.
He also reported the same thing to the emperor, saying that Lin Siqiong and the mother-in-law should have no other relationship.
But now, Yu Youning had just said one sentence, and Lin Siqiong exploded in excitement!
How can he explain this to the emperor?
This is dereliction of duty!
Yu Wencheng looked at Lin Siqiong with increasing anxiety, wishing he could pry open Lin Siqiong's mouth and make her tell him everything she had hidden.
But Lin Siqiong just sat there holding her, as if completely immersed in her own thoughts, and turned a deaf ear to Yuwen Cheng's questions.
In the past, Lin Siqiong was the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was sensible and polite, and had a dignified manner. She gave people a feeling of being superior and unattainable.
But now, Lin Siqiong was in this dark dungeon, her clothes were dirty and torn, her hair was disheveled, and her face and hands were covered in dirt.
She looked completely devoid of manners and seemed to be insane. Was she even half of her former self?
Not only Lin Siqiong, Lin Ruoli is not much better than her.
Chu Huaixu looked at the two of them, his expression becoming increasingly indifferent. "Now is the chance for you to speak. If you don't cherish it, no one may listen to you even if you want to speak in the future. You'd better think it through. This is your only chance."
Lin Siqiong was still sitting there, hugging her knees with her hands, muttering "impossible", completely immersed in her own world.
Lin Ruoli, on the other hand, hugged the fence with both hands and looked at Chu Huaixu eagerly through the gap in the fence, "Brother Crown Prince, if I tell the truth, can you let me out?"
Chu Huaixu looked at Lin Ruoli and didn't lie to her. "No, whether or not I can release you depends on what crimes you have committed. The final decision will be made by my father."
Hearing this, Yuwen Cheng subconsciously looked at Chu Huaixu and moved his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
In fact, the prince could have agreed to it first.
Once Lin Ruoli tells the truth, what can they do even if she doesn't let them out?
The prince is still too young and too old-fashioned and upright!
Although Yuwen Cheng thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.
He didn't dare point fingers at the prince. It wasn't like he was tired of living!
Lin Ruoli looked at Chu Huaixu eagerly and actually laughed, "Prince brother didn't lie to me, how great! Then I will tell you everything I know!"
"I didn't see my mother-in-law very often, but one time, when my mother was talking to her, I heard her calling her 'Auntie'."
Chu Huaixu was shocked when he heard this, "Aunt?"
Doesn’t this mean that Lin Siqiong and that mother-in-law are related?
Lin Siqiong had already rushed to Lin Ruoli at this time and slapped Lin Ruoli in the face, "Who told you to eavesdrop!"
Without waiting for Lin Ruoli to struggle or resist, Lin Siqiong slapped her hard again.
"Who told you to say that?"
"I think you've gone crazy! The prince is the only one on your mind! He doesn't take you seriously at all!"
"You said all this, are you trying to kill us?"
"How could I give birth to such a stupid daughter like you!"
Lin Siqiong cursed while her hands kept moving. Slaps fell on Lin Ruoli like raindrops, making her scream in pain.
Looking at Lin Siqiong's posture, it seemed as if she wanted to beat Lin Ruoli to death.
Chu Huaixu frowned and looked at Yuwen Cheng beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and bring Lin Ruoli out!"
Yuwen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and without any hesitation, he immediately opened the prison door and rushed in.
Although Lin Siqiong was very strong when she was furious, she was still no match for Yu Wencheng who practiced martial arts.
Yu Wencheng didn't seem to use much effort, but he easily separated Lin Siqiong and Lin Ruoli.
Lin Siqiong was about to pounce on him again, but Yuwen Cheng hurriedly carried Lin Ruoli out of the cell and closed the door again.
Lin Siqiong threw herself against the door, clutching the doorframe tightly with both hands. "Lin Ruoli, from now on, you are no longer my daughter. If you have the guts, don't come back, or I will kill you!"
