Chapter 85 Isn't this an insult?
Yu Nian went to the Honeysuckle Pavilion, but before she could see Chunyu Han, she ran into Sang Tian, who was hurrying from the South Gate.
"Your home..."
Just as Yu Nian was about to speak, before she could finish her sentence, Sang Tian cupped his hands in greeting and knelt on one knee.
"Please, Miss Yu, go quickly and save my master!"
Save Chunyu Han? Does he even need anyone else to save him?
"Get up first, and we can talk about it slowly."
Sang Tian stood up, looking anxious.
"We can't delay any longer. The master's old ailment has flared up again. Miss Yu, please come with me to Huancai Pavilion immediately."
Yu Nianzhen nodded slightly, but she was puzzled. Wasn't Chunyu Han usually sick at night? What was wrong with him today? Had he been through something?
When Sang Tian first mentioned Huan Cai Ge, Yu Nian didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a place to drink tea and discuss business. It wasn't until she got off the carriage that she realized it was actually a brothel!
Moreover, this was not an ordinary brothel; it was a brothel under the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau), established by the imperial court. It housed mostly wives of officials who had committed crimes, and the women there were mostly virgins who sold their art but not their bodies.
Yu Nian, wearing a veil, followed behind Sang Tian, her legs still not quite nimble.
"Please come with me, Miss. The master is upstairs."
After Sang Tian came in, he also changed his address. This kind of place is a mixed bag, and high-born ladies like Yu Nian are absolutely forbidden from coming here.
Yu Nian could imagine how furious her father would be if he knew she had come to a place like this.
Looking at the vermilion steps in front of her, Yu Nian sighed softly. Whether Chunyu Han treated her as a tool or a burden, she felt that at this moment, she truly loved Chunyu Han.
She hated going upstairs after she injured her leg. Every step she took would cause her leg wound to throb with pain. She climbed so many steps just to see Chunyu Han. What else could it be but true love?
Before Yu Nian could even push open the door after her fingertips touched it, she heard a pleading voice coming from inside.
"My lord, spare me! I was confused for a moment, please have mercy!"
"Please, sir, spare this woman this time..."
Then came another burst of women's crying, and Yu Nian realized that there seemed to be more than one woman involved.
Yu Nian pushed open the door, and the scene before her was much more lively than she had imagined.
Five or six people were kneeling on the ground, several of whom were women dressed in thin clothes, their bodies trembling like sieves.
A gleaming knife lay in front of him.
Chunyu Han sat before the shattered table, his face ashen, his deep black eyes swirling with raging anger.
Compared to the last time Yu Nian saw Chunyu Han at the Honeysuckle Pavilion, Yu Nian felt that he was in much better condition this time. Rather than the old illness recurring as Sang Tian said, it was more accurate to say that he was angry.
As for why she was angry, Sang Tian had already told Yu Nian in the carriage.
Yu Nian was still somewhat astonished by Chunyu Han's brutal act of making the woman who had touched his clothes cut off her own hand.
The two middle-aged men on the ground, dressed in fine clothes, seemed to be trying to ask Chunyu Han for a favor, but their attempt to flatter him backfired.
With their emotional intelligence, they're not even capable of handling things. You invited a eunuch to a brothel and even brought so many women to accompany him. Chunyu Han isn't the kind of eunuch who's obsessed with beautiful women. Aren't you insulting him?
Anyone would be angry in this situation!
Despite her anger, Yu Nian certainly couldn't just stand by and watch Chunyu Han go on a killing spree and massacre the place.
The two men kneeling on the ground heard a noise coming from the doorway and thought their saviors had arrived. But when they turned around, they found that it was a woman!
What the hell? Don't they think there are enough women here already? Sending another one to cause trouble!
Chunyu Han raised his eyes. Yu Nian's figure was reflected in his long, dark eyes.
Even though she was veiled in a light gauze, her clear, bright eyes made her instantly recognizable.
"My lord, you're here! I've been looking for you for so long."
Meeting Chunyu Han's gaze, Yu Nian's eyebrows curved slightly, her soft, sweet tone filled with joy.
The figure in light pink walked towards Chunyu Han and sat down directly on the cushion next to him with practiced ease.
This action startled everyone in the room. Just moments ago, the woman they had arranged had merely brushed her hand against Chunyu Han's clothes while pouring wine, yet this ruthless man wanted her to chop off her own hand.
They were not unaware that Chunyu Han had a reputation for being averse to women and having obsessive-compulsive disorder, but rumors circulated that he was deeply in love with Miss Yu, and everyone assumed that he, like other eunuchs, had such special needs.
So they came up with the idea of sending women to Chunyu Han, wanting to be the first to try something new.
It's a pity I didn't get to eat the crabs, and now I'm about to lose my head.
The air of death permeated every corner of the private room, yet Chunyu Han's anger did not diminish in the slightest.
"Don't be angry, let me wipe it for you."
Yu Nianyang picked up the handkerchief in her hand and symbolically swept it across Chunyu Han's chest. She then placed the calming sachet in her sleeve.
Chunyu Han remained silent and did not stop Yu Nian's actions.
Just watching Yu Nian's actions, everyone was stunned. She actually dared to touch this terrifying figure!
"If there's nothing else, everyone can leave now. Don't disturb me and the master."
Yu Nian looked at these people who were oblivious to their own mortality, who had no sense of self-awareness at all, and who were running away before things got better, and were just watching the show.
"Thank you for sparing my life, sir!"
The group felt as if they had been granted a pardon. Although they were inwardly amazed that a mere woman dared to make decisions for the regent, their intuition told them not to ask questions they shouldn't ask, and that saving their lives was the most important thing.
After everyone left, Sangtian tactfully closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Huancai Pavilion is a place of the imperial court. If Chunyu Han loses control of his emotions in broad daylight and openly deals with these people, it will inevitably give others grounds for criticism.
All those people in the court were eagerly watching Chunyu Han, looking for his weaknesses.
After everyone left, Chunyu Han raised his hand, grabbed Yu Nian's wrist, and brought it to his nose. The faint fragrance of gardenias made his anger dissipate unintentionally.
"You dare to make decisions for me before we're even married?"
Chunyu Han's deep, hoarse voice carried a hint of danger.
Yu Nian's heart sank. Could this person please not use such a sexy voice to say such harsh words?
"How could I dare? I've come to see you because it's really important."
Chunyu Han released Yu Nian's wrist, casually pulled off her veil, and his deep gaze fell on her smiling face.
That expression clearly said: You'll do it again next time.
"Speak, what is it?"
"It's my father. He wants to thank you for saving my elder brother, so he's hosting a family banquet at the Prime Minister's residence to express his gratitude. He asked me to come and invite you. Of course, if you don't want to go, I'll decline on your behalf..."
Yu Nian thought that Chunyu Han liked quiet and probably wouldn't like the atmosphere of this kind of family banquet.
But Chunyu Han's answer surprised Yu Nian.
