Chapter 189 The couple is confined



Chu Yan said in a deep voice: "Mu Hui said that Princess Mu made a joke today. Is that true?"

Chu Younan bowed, "Father, this is indeed true."

"You see, right! That woman is so shameless. How can she be a princess? Even a concubine or a maid wouldn't act as recklessly as she does!" Mu Hui became angrier and angrier as she spoke.

Chu Yan looked at Su Bei, "Sit down, tell me, what's going on?" Mu Hui had said it before, but he liked listening to Su Bei. Every time this girl spoke, it was very interesting.

Su Bei sat down and said, "When we arrived, we saw Yaruo squatting on the table, grabbing Ling Ziyou by the collar, looking like a pervert. If the Gaoliu people have this custom, we can't control it, but she should at least respect the wishes of her male compatriots, right? It's illegal to rob a woman, but no one cares about robbing a man?"

Chu Yan frowned.

"Father! That's true!" Mu Hui chimed in, "If a prince breaks the law, he is no different from a commoner. So what if she is the Princess of Mu? Can she do whatever she wants? Shouldn't she set an example for everyone? If all the women in the backyards follow suit, won't the capital be in chaos?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Bei agreed.

Chu Yan frowned even more tightly, and after a moment, he shouted, "Wang Zhuo! Tell Prince Mu and Princess Mu to come to the audience!"

After waiting for a while, Chu Youchen came in with a gloomy face, followed by Yaruo who was carried on a stretcher. Yaruo looked pale and unhappy, with five finger marks faintly visible on her face.

“Greetings, father!” King Mu bowed reluctantly.

Chu Yan sat upright and did not let him stand up. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Yaruo and asked sternly, "Is the heir to the throne in danger?"

"Your Majesty, the court physician prescribed medicine to preserve the pregnancy, and the baby has been saved." King Mu said anxiously.

Seeing Chu Yan being so stern, Yaruo said with a wronged look on her face, "Father! My daughter-in-law clearly had a miscarriage, but King Mu actually beat me. Look, my face is still swollen!"

But she didn't expect that after saying this, Chu Yan became even angrier and threw the blue and white teacup on the table directly next to her. The porcelain pieces burst onto her and the hot tea splashed onto her face.

"You bastards! Why are you secretly building the He Mansion? I have already turned a blind eye to it. I deposed Princess Mo, and I forgave her because she was the daughter of a guilty minister. Now you are trying to snatch someone away in the street. Do you have no regard for me, your father?!"

Yaruo shuddered immediately and argued, "Father, you already knew that your daughter-in-law was from Gaoliu, and you clearly knew the customs of Gaoliu. Why are you saying this now?"

Chu Youchen was immediately shocked by her words and hurriedly said, "Shut up! You Gaoliu don't have the custom of robbing people in the street, right? It's really embarrassing to be in the street. Do you know what people are talking about me now?"

He was so angry that he forgot he was in the imperial study. He stood up and pointed at Yaruo and cursed, "I allowed you to build the He Mansion, but I didn't let you go in and out openly. I turned a blind eye to your private expansion of the He Mansion before, but this time you actually robbed someone in the street! They all say I'm a green-headed turtle, do you know that? They all say that the baby in your belly is a bastard!"

"You! You are talking nonsense! My male servants have all taken medicine, there is no way they can leave any offspring!" Yaruo's face turned pale.

Chu Youchen was furious and slapped her again. The other side of Yaruo's face also became swollen. She was naturally unwilling to give in, so she got up from the stretcher and started fighting with him.

Seeing the quarrel in the imperial study room turned into a mess, Chu Yan could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "Stop it! If you want to fight or make a scene, go home! From today on, both of you will reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors for a month, and during this period, the He Mansion will be disbanded!"

"Father!" Yaruo wanted to say something, but was frightened by Chu Yan's fierce momentum.

Things are different now. King Gaoliu has already known the news of Chi Man’s death, and Yaruo no longer has any trump cards.

Chu Youchen was even more indignant. If he had not gone to the underground black market that day, he would not have been assigned the task of marrying Yaruo, his eldest son would not have died in childbirth, and he would not have to be laughed at by the people.

But knowing it earlier is priceless...

The two men retreated in disgrace, and Mu Hui walked out happily with a smug look on her face.

Su Bei and Chu Younan looked at each other, no one spoke, but Chu Younan nodded slightly to him.

She just thought that the two of them had a tacit understanding, and he knew what she was going to say with just a glance.

This feeling is really good!

She hesitated for a moment, then knelt down in front of Chu Yan, "Your Majesty! I have something to ask."

Chu Yan was still unhappy, "Go ahead."

"I may not be able to complete the second thing your majesty wants me to do." Su Bei said in a deep voice.

Chu Yan raised his eyes and wondered, "Giving up before you even start, that's not like you."

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to say, as hard as ascending to heaven." Su Bei sighed, "Princess Mu Hui seems to have someone she likes, but the person she likes is already engaged. As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Although I can use some tricks to achieve your majesty's wish, I don't want to do anything that damages my morality."

After she finished speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed, "I am really sorry that I cannot be personally conferred as a first-rank princess by your majesty, but I am truly sincere to His Royal Highness Prince Su, and I hope your majesty will understand."

Chu Younan also knelt down, "Father, Ah Bei's behavior shows that she is kind-hearted. It is better to let Mu Hui's marriage take its course. She has made great contributions in helping Fengyuan's Yin soldiers pass through the country. Please agree to grant her marriage!"

As he spoke, he paid close attention to Chu Yan's thoughts, but he only heard him secretly praising Su Bei, but did not see him agree.

After a long while, Chu Yan said with a stern face: "Are you asking me to take back my order?"

"I dare not!"

"I dare not!"

They both said in unison, then looked at each other.

When Chu Younan heard this, Su Bei started muttering in her heart again: Getting married is so troublesome, I'd better concentrate on my career. I won't get married, I won't get married!

His expression suddenly changed, and he immediately kowtowed again, saying, "Father, can you change the conditions? Or can you let me do something? After all, I love her, and I can't let her bear it alone!"

"Alright, alright!" Chu Yan still had a gloomy face. "I didn't say to let her bear it alone. Didn't I send you to deal with Fengyuan? You can also help with these two things! Jiang Bai came to me again and said that Jiang Ruwei wanted to commit suicide when she heard that she was betrothed to someone else. I have a headache because of his nagging!"

Mentioning her love rival, Su Bei perked up immediately. Not marrying was just an angry remark. She rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"explain!"

"I do have a way to deal with Jiang Ruwei's matter, but I'm in trouble and need your majesty's assistance!" She said while looking at Chu Yan pitifully.

Seeing her expression, Chu Yan couldn't help but feel better. He chuckled and said, "Go ahead!"
