When they arrived in the city, they began to disperse.
Prince Yu and Xing Maozhi entered the palace, while Erzhu Huaji and Tudola returned home.
Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting...
Jiang Zhiyu blinked and said, "Brother, why don't we go to your house and have a seat? I didn't get a good look at the plum forest there the last time I came."
He Yanting's eyes flickered slightly, and he ignored the address, saying softly, "Of course."
However, there is no Merlin in the General's Mansion.
The two walked side by side towards the General's Mansion. He Yanting listened to the people around him complaining:
[It's obvious that grandson will go and complain like a primary school kid.]
[The General's Mansion is closer to the Imperial Palace. I don't want to run back and forth in such a cold weather.]
He Yanting: “…”
No wonder.
The attendants of the general's mansion had received the news. When they entered the mansion, they were helped to take off their outer robes and tea was prepared.
He Yanting glanced at him, smiled faintly, and ordered, "Go make a cup of sobering tea."
"No need," Jiang Zhiyu stopped the maid from leaving, "I took some hangover medicine before drinking."
Then her previous performance...
He Yanting thought about it and laughed.
No wonder she was so unscrupulous, it turned out that she had thought of a way out.
…
At the same time, in the imperial study, the emperor stroked his forehead and listened to Prince Yu passionately criticizing Jiang Zhiyu.
He wrote a 500-word essay until his mouth was dry, then he concluded: "Royal brother, please don't pamper her anymore and let her do whatever she wants. She no longer regards the imperial power. She can point at my nose and scold me today, and even hit me so hard, who knows what she will do in the future!"
"Royal brother, please don't blame me for thinking too much. If she doesn't take me seriously today, I think she will..."
“That’s enough!”
The emperor interrupted him impatiently: "I know better than you whether Zhiyu takes me seriously or not!"
Although she often cursed herself as a dog emperor in her heart, Zhiyu did what she asked him to do. Not only did he do it, but he did it very well. He was much better than her so-called brother who flattered her on the surface but coveted this position all the time in his heart.
Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Prince Yu with even more disgust.
Prince Yu didn't expect that after he said this and even showed him his injured hand, the emperor still defended Jiang Zhiyu. He could not hide his shock.
What kind of magic potion did Jiang Zhiyu give him?
Why did the emperor protect her like this?!
No, medicine definitely can't do that. I remember that there is a kind of Gu among the Nan Gu that can manipulate people and make them obey it.
Could it be that the emperor was actually bewitched?!
The more he thought about it, the more this possibility seemed to him. Prince Yu looked at the emperor with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
If that was the case, he would have to find a way to get the Gu doctor to come...
The imperial physician bandaged him and held his breath.
Xing Maozhi was just like him, not daring to breathe.
Prince Yu stopped arguing, and the emperor's frown relaxed slightly. The imperial physician interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, the prince's hand is not seriously injured. He needs to be taken good care of and not lift anything heavy."
It was no problem to hear that, and Prince Yu's anger dissipated a little.
The imperial physician hung his head guiltily.
In this situation, if I say that Prince Yu's finger is broken, wouldn't I be courting death? The emperor doesn't seem to care anyway. Besides, I said that the hand is fine, not the finger, so it can't be considered as deceiving the emperor.
The emperor was the emperor after all, and he saw through the imperial physician's thoughts at a glance.
But he had no intention of exposing it, so he waved his hand and let the doctor go.
Xing Maozhi's eyes flashed with envy, and the emperor continued, "I already know the general situation. Rather than accusing Zhiyu, I'd like to know what's going on between you and Erzhu Huaji."
The emperor's face darkened instantly, his brows and eyes were filled with gloom, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly became much heavier, oppressive and making people's hearts palpitate.
Prince Yu was sweating profusely as he hesitantly spoke his prepared words: "My horse had injured the princess before, so I wanted to go and apologize, but when I arrived at the mansion, Erzhu Huaji was already taking care of the princess."
Prince Yu licked his lips and said, "Royal brother, you know me well. I love to hear pleasant voices. I'm sure you've heard Erzhu Huaji's voice before. Because of that voice, I was... moved."
Prince Yu could feel the emperor's inquiring eyes scanning him.
But what he said now was the truth. Prince Yu continued calmly, "I also know that Prince Nan Gu's status is different from those young prostitutes. I think about it, but I really don't plan to do it. Today, I heard that Princess Nan Gu invited Jiang Zhiyu to play, so I also thought of asking the prince out. Together, we will wait for them at the City God Temple."
"I can't remember what happened after that," Prince Yu said with a look of regret on his face. "When I woke up again, this was the scene."
He didn't really lie, he just omitted some steps.
The emperor's gaze swept over his entire body, and after a moment, he retracted it.
"Now that it has happened, how are you going to solve it?"
Prince Yu was slightly startled.
It was unclear whether the emperor believed what he said or not. Prince Yu tried to test him, "How about saying that Nan Gu came here to arrange a marriage between the princess and Tianqi, and have Erzhu Huaji disguise himself as a woman and marry into the palace."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something, and the darkness in his eyes deepened.
emperor:"!!!"
Xing Maozhi: “!!!”
What nonsense is he talking about?!
The emperor picked up the paperweight on the table and smashed it hard in front of Prince Yu. The shattered debris also hit Prince Yu's face, and blood immediately flowed out.
Since the birth of Jiang Zhiyu, this was the first time Xing Maozhi had seen the emperor so angry. He immediately knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground. A sinister look flashed across Prince Yu's eyes, and he knelt down with Xing Maozhi.
"He's a prince! Not one of your spoiled children! If Nan Gu hears your humiliating words, they won't let you off easily!"
When the time comes, he will use these words to attack me.
The emperor was furious, and seeing the obvious dissatisfaction in Prince Yu's eyes, he took a few deep breaths.
I shouldn't have agreed to let him come back!
"Get out of here! I'll send someone to watch you. Don't leave the house without my permission."
Prince Yu: “!!!”
Is he going to ground himself? !
"Royal brother..."
Prince Yu had just said two words when he was frightened back by the emperor's murderous look.
"This matter is settled. If you say one more word, don't blame me for not considering our brotherhood."
Although this brotherhood was forced upon him by his deceased mother, it was ultimately his mother's last wish, and he would not act rashly unless it was absolutely necessary.
Prince Yu choked, and the emperor didn't bother to look at him again. He waved his hand and signaled them to go down.
