Chapter 31 My Lord, You're So Good to Me
While the carriage was traveling, Canghai, sitting on the carriage shaft, didn't hear anything. But now that the carriage had come to a stop, Canghai immediately heard that familiar sound.
Miss Yu the Fifth! What is she doing here?!
Thinking about that sentence, could it be that she came specifically to confess her feelings to his parents? What a courageous woman.
"Let go!"
Given Chunyu Han's personality, his first reaction would have been to pull the person apart, but Yu Nian was injured, and he didn't know where to start.
Chunyu Han's voice rang in Yu Nian's mind. Even though Yu Nian couldn't see his expression, he knew that he was definitely going to be angry.
Having come this far, Yu Nian could only grit her teeth and persevere.
"I won't let go unless the adults agree to let me go with you."
"How dare you threaten me?"
It was almost time, and Chunyu Han didn't want to get entangled with Yu Nian any longer. He reached out to pull Yu Nian's arm, but Yu Nian hugged him even tighter.
During the struggle, Chunyu Han felt something soft and fluffy, like cotton, and it bumped into him.
This is
Chunyu Han's ears turned red, and his hands froze.
"I promise I won't cause any trouble, really."
Yu Nian raised her head, her bright, sparkling eyes shimmering with a captivating charm.
What a tragedy.
Chunyu Han simply let go and pointed to the hidden cabinet on the carriage.
"There are eunuch's clothes in there, you can change into them."
Anyway, Yu Nian's troubles only tarnished the Prime Minister's mansion, so he didn't suffer any losses.
"My lord, you are so kind to me!"
Yu Nian smiled happily. Just as she was hugging Chunyu Han, she remembered a saying: "When a woman is coquettish, a man's soul will wander."
If even men can't handle it, eunuchs certainly can't either.
Yu Nian let go of her hand, opened the closet, and took out her clothes. She glanced at Chunyu Han, wondering if he was just watching her change.
But then I thought about it again, and it made sense; Chunyu Han couldn't get off the carriage first at this point.
Since he's a eunuch anyway, we could practically call him a close friend.
Thinking of this, Yu Nian immediately excused herself, her bare shoulders partially exposed. Chunyu Han subtly turned his gaze away, his back to Yu Nian.
Yu Nian couldn't see that Chunyu Han's ears were already burning red.
"Isn't this woman shy?" Chunyu Han thought to himself. "That's true. Yu Nian has such a thick skin; she doesn't care about these things anymore."
After quickly and quietly changing her clothes, Yu Nian, holding her official hat, approached Chunyu Han.
"Sir, could you do me another favor?"
There was no bronze mirror in the carriage, and she didn't know how to style her hair like a eunuch.
The hairstyles of young eunuchs were not particular; they were usually just tied up with a hairpin and covered with a gauze hat.
Chunyu Han took the hairpin with some helplessness and tied Yu Nian's hair up with a rather reluctant expression. She always takes advantage of people and wants to order them around even in such a short time.
"This will not be repeated."
Chunyu Han ran his slender fingers through Yu Nian's hair and found that Yu Nian's hair was particularly soft. When it wrapped around his fingertips, it had a unique feel and a comforting fragrance about Yu Nian.

Hey, Yu Nian was secretly delighted. Could it be that Chunyu Han enjoys combing people's hair? That's quite a peculiar hobby...
Let's go.
Chunyu Han put the official hat on Yu Nian's head, turned around and got out of the car. This back and forth had delayed him for a while, and those people had probably already arrived.
"Okay~"
Yu Nian happily followed Chunyu Han off the carriage, and didn't forget to greet Canghai.
Cang Hai's lips twitched twice. Yu Nian was too amazing. She actually managed to persuade his master to bring her into the palace. Moreover, according to Sang Tian, she was clearly seriously injured, but now she was full of energy...
Miss Yu is truly a remarkable person.
As they approached the door of the Imperial Study, Chunyu Han paused and glanced back at Yu Nian.
"Stand at the door and don't run around, or you know what will happen."
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, but don't stray too far from me, or I'll miss you."
Yu Nian said with a grin, her eyes curiously taking in the magnificent building before her. It was her first time visiting the Imperial Study, the Emperor's office, and it was indeed impressive.
Chunyu Han: "..."
He was already regretting bringing her in; he should have just tied her up, thrown her in the car, and gagged her.
As soon as Chunyu Han stepped into the Imperial Study, the joint trial by the three judicial departments officially began.
Only major cases are subject to joint trial by the three judicial departments, which consist of the Court of Judicial Review, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice.
Yu Nian stood at the door, only able to hear the sounds, but unable to see anyone.
But she knows quite a few people in this group.
The Emperor appointed Chunyu Han as the presiding judge for this case. Chunyu Han sat on a rosewood armchair. Although he was seated beside the Emperor, his powerful aura was impossible to ignore.
The Crown Prince's gaze toward Chunyu Han carried a hint of ruthlessness. His father's favoritism toward eunuchs had led to a grave mistake, and sooner or later he would personally kill this vicious man once again.
"Father, this matter occurred in my residence, and I am to blame. In order to clear the Crown Prince's name and ensure justice, please allow my maid to explain this matter in detail."
The eldest princess spoke first, explaining that she had received a reply from her husband and knew that Ma Si'er was dead.
Now that Ma Si'er has passed away and there is no way to verify the truth, the Princess can say whatever she wants. She can take this opportunity to get rid of some troublesome people.
The Emperor nodded slightly, but his gaze drifted to Chunyu Han out of the corner of his eye. The Regent seemed unusually quiet today.
Chunyu Han sat unmoved in the grand chair, his hand holding the prayer beads inside his sleeve, rhythmically sliding the beads.
He wanted to see how the eldest princess would put on this death throes act today.
"Your Majesty, this servant greets you. I am Du Juan, the maid of the Eldest Princess. I wish to denounce Yu Nian, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister, for plotting to insult the Crown Prince!"
Du Juan's words truly stunned everyone inside and outside the Imperial Study. Except for Chunyu Han, everyone frowned in unison.
Your Majesty: The Prime Minister has even been implicated!
Crown Prince: Is it her again?
Yu Nian: Damn it! I'm getting shot even when I'm just lying down!
Chunyu Han glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the closed door of the Imperial Study. She must have heard it; she just wondered how interesting the expression on her face would be.
However, what Du Juan said when she opened her mouth made Yu Nian even more excited.
"On the day of the Princess's birthday, I saw with my own eyes Yu Nian whispering with a pockmarked man in a corner. When she saw that I had seen her, Yu Nian immediately gave me a gold ingot to shut me up. I dared not accept it, but Miss Yu Nian insisted on giving it to me. I was very uneasy and was about to report this to the Princess when I realized it was too late..."
After Du Juan finished speaking, she took out the gold ingot that Yu Nian had given her from her sleeve.
“My monthly salary is limited, and I have never seen so much money in my life. But I cannot do such a thing as betraying my master for personal gain. After thinking it over, I have decided to tell the truth.”
They've even brought out physical evidence. Yu Nian outside the door sneered, "Trying to make her take the blame again, huh? No way!"
