Chapter 115 He's quite possessive.
Li Mingjin rode a white horse, speeding against the light.
He received the news as soon as he left court, and without even asking his mother, he rushed out to catch Yu Nian in the act.
"Oh? Isn't this His Highness the Crown Prince? What a coincidence."
Yu Nian lifted the carriage curtain and saw the prince on a white horse.
You're really something! You just married your sweetheart, and instead of spending a few days with her, you come to this desolate place to catch her. Are you so desperate that you want her dead?
Li Mingjin paused for a moment. Yu Nian had gone to see her older brother, so she shouldn't have returned so soon.
It doesn't matter if we don't catch her in the act. Li Mingjin remembers that Yu Nian is very timid. As long as we bluff her, we can find out her mistakes.
If we can find a pretext to throw Yu Nian into Dali Temple and lock her up for a few days, the Prime Minister will certainly not be stingy for his daughter's sake, so this trip will not be in vain.
"Tell me the truth, what are you doing in this desolate place? Are you here to do something shady? There's a post station just ahead, you wouldn't happen to be planning to kidnap Yu Ning, would you?"
Li Mingjin said this on purpose, and Yu Nian would definitely panic and say that she just came to see her older brother. The crime of visiting an outlying person without permission is enough to send her to the Dali Temple for a while.
Yu Nian smiled and tightened her cloak.
"Your Highness is in a bad mood today, and you came in like you were interrogating me. My elder brother left the capital yesterday, and I have no idea where he is today. Your Highness seems to know more about it than I do, his younger sister."
The black python-patterned cloak Yu Nian was wearing was obviously someone else's; a single glance was enough to tell whose it was.
Li Mingjin couldn't help but recall the news of Yu Nian's blemishes on her wedding night, and a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart.
In his previous life, Yu Nian was his concubine, but he never touched her. Now, the thought that she had been taken by a eunuch using such filthy means made him feel disgusted.
"You didn't know? You didn't know you'd be here!"
Li Mingjin's opening remarks were aggressive and confrontational. If this had happened to the original owner of the body, it would have been hard to say what the outcome would have been, but Yu Nian was not afraid.
Even if things go wrong, she still has Chunyu Han backing her up. Just because Yu Huaifeng embezzled a third of the silver, he wouldn't really abandon her.
"Since Your Highness is so eager to know, I may tell you. My husband and I are on our honeymoon."
Inside the carriage, Chunyu Han raised his eyebrows slightly; he knew Yu Nian was up to no good and wanted to put him down.
Li Mingjin was also taken aback. What is a honeymoon?
"Your Highness may not know this, but it is a custom in my husband's hometown. It is customary for him to take his newlywed wife on a month-long trip to enjoy honey wine together, which is commonly known as a honeymoon. My husband is very busy with official duties and cannot afford to waste a month, so he takes me out for a stroll whenever he has the chance."
Yu Nian spoke in a soft, sweet voice, calling out "husband" repeatedly, which sounded extremely grating to Li Mingjin's ears.
It was as if Yu Nian, who had surrounded him and called him "Your Highness" all day long in his previous life and followed his lead without question, had never existed.
She kept saying she was willing to give everything for him, but now she's turned around and thrown herself into the arms of a eunuch.
Li Mingjin felt she had never been so angry before.
"The Regent Chunyu is also here, why doesn't he come down to see me?"
Li Mingjin didn't believe Chunyu Han would accompany Yu Nian out for a stroll. What did that violent executioner know about romance? This must be Yu Nian making things up to get herself out of trouble.
“My husband didn’t mean to stay away; it’s just that it’s a little inconvenient for him. Your Highness should understand. We’re newly married and quite tired. He’s still asleep, and it’s probably not appropriate for us to meet in such disheveled state.”
After Yu Nian finished speaking, Cang Hai couldn't help but glance at the carriage. He sincerely admired her; his wife really dared to speak her mind. His master's face must be completely dark right now.
It was only then that Li Mingjin noticed that Yu Nian's hair was somewhat loose, with stray hairs on her forehead, and that she was wearing Chunyu Han's cloak...
Were they just making out in the carriage?
Li Mingjin was so angry that his face turned pale and then red, and he even forgot his original purpose for coming here.
Did he come to see Yu Nian so early in the morning just to hear these foul and offensive words?!
"you!"
Li Mingjin really wanted to say, "What's so special about you being intimate with a eunuch?" But when this thought came to mind, even he was shocked. What did Yu Nian and Chunyu Han do have to do with him?
Things were going well, but suddenly took a sharp turn, and Li Mingjin's train of thought was completely swayed by Yu Nian.
"Shameless acts in broad daylight! This is an affront to public morals!"
Li Mingjin threw down a string of words, turned his horse around, and said that today was the first day after his wedding. He still had to take Rou'er to the palace to pay his respects and did not want to argue with some people anymore.
This is truly a case of losing both wife and army; not only did I make a wasted trip, but I also ended up with a lot of unpleasantness.
"Your Highness, please take care."
Yu Nian didn't take it seriously. Li Mingjin could only say a few meaningless words and couldn't really do anything to her.
However, this time it was really dangerous. If Yu Ning hadn't told her to go back quickly, I really don't know how we would have ended up like this today.
Inside the car, Chunyu Han squeezed the prayer beads so hard that he almost crushed them.
What kind of person did she describe him as? A eunuch who disregarded propriety and shame, indulging in debauchery and reckless behavior in a carriage in the suburbs?
Chunyu Han already had a premonition that when the Crown Prince returned, he would definitely arrange for his advisors to write memorials impeaching him.
This was the first time Chunyu Han had been impeached for such a romantic affair.
Yu Nian smiled and climbed back into the carriage. Through the gap in the curtain, she watched the Crown Prince and his entourage walk away. The direction they were heading was clearly the official road back to the capital. What was this talk of an inspection? It was obviously aimed at her.
Just as Yu Nian was watching the exciting scene, her body was suddenly gripped by a strong force.
"They've already left, why are you still so reluctant to let them go?"
Chunyu Han's displeasure caused his voice to ring in Yu Nian's ears, and the force in his arm was astonishing, as if he wanted to melt Yu Nian into his bones and blood.
"My lord, you have wronged me. I was just still shaken."
"You're a husband when you use me as a scapegoat, but an adult when you're done with me? Huh?"
Yu Nian felt a warmth on her shoulder. What was this person up to? Why was he about to bite her again?
"Since Yu Nian has married into the Regent's Mansion, she should naturally call him 'husband.' I'm just afraid you won't like hearing it."
She knew Chunyu Han could hear her from inside the carriage, and she was determined to drag him down with her, since he had asked her to handle the situation.
Yu Nian frowned slightly as a sharp pain shot through her shoulder. Damn it, why does Chunyu Han love biting people so much?
"Remember your current identity, keep your thoughts to yourself, and if I find out you're spying on the Crown Prince again, you'll face the consequences."
Chunyu Han released Yu Nian. He was initially angry that Yu Nian was talking nonsense, but when he discovered that she was still peeking at Li Mingjin after she came in, his displeasure instantly shifted elsewhere.
Yu Nian relaxed, her chest heaving violently a few times. This dog eunuch was quite possessive.
