But that's exactly what happened. What's more, Yu Yan is his sister. How could His Majesty let her off so easily?
"If that's the case, then proceed according to military regulations. Men, take Yu Jiangyan away and deal with him according to military law! Punish him severely!" Yu Jingchen seemed to show no mercy because of Yu Jiangyan's status.
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly someone spoke up. Yu Jingchen looked at the speaker and saw it was Liu Yi from the Duke of Liu's mansion.
Liu Yi stepped forward from his seat and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, please show mercy. At most, Prince Jiang Yan's crime is negligence. Please forgive him this time and punish him leniently." Liu Yi said, and Yu Jiangyan glanced at him, just as Liu Yi looked over.
"Yujiang Yan, aren't you going to plead with His Majesty? With your health, can you withstand military law?" Liu Yi looked very anxious.
“It is what I deserve, Young Master Liu, there is no need to plead for me.” Yu Jiangyan’s expression did not change at all.
"You!" Liu Yi couldn't understand why anyone would eagerly accept punishment.
"Take him away," Yu Jingchen said without hesitation. Just as Yu Jiangyan was being pulled away, Liu Yi said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take the punishment in his place." Liu Yi's words were always so unexpected.
"Do you think he can escape punishment by doing this? Since you're begging to be punished, then take him away and deal with him according to military law." Yu Jingchen didn't give a single word of negotiation.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Liu is innocent. Please do not hold him accountable." Yu Jiangyan's tone remained calm.
"What I do is none of your business. Drag them all away!" Yu Jingchen had no time to argue with them.
In the end, Liu Yi and Yu Jiangyan were taken away together, and no one dared to plead for them.
Yu Jingchen put Nan Zhiyun down from his arms. Nan Zhiyun now knew she had committed a "heinous crime," so she dared not speak. Yu Jingchen looked at her, and Nan Zhiyun, standing beside him, felt somewhat guilty.
Yu Jingchen glanced at her, ignored her, and walked straight ahead. Nan Zhiyun felt a little bitter. She lowered her head, not knowing what she should do. She felt like she had done something wrong again.
"What? Are you going to turn into a flower here again today? Or do you want to stand here and grow mushrooms? Don't you know how to follow me? Or do I have to personally come and carry you back?" Yu Jingchen said irritably.
Nan Zhiyun: "..." Perhaps recalling the embarrassment of being drunk yesterday, a blush crept onto her face. However... she cautiously glanced at Yu Jingchen, wondering if he wasn't as angry as before...
Nan Zhiyun followed him with small steps. She originally thought that Yu Jingchen had calmed down and would be waiting for her there. However, she soon realized that she was overthinking it. As soon as she walked up to him and reached out to take his hand, Yu Jingchen didn't even look at her and turned to leave.
Nan Zhiyun's hand froze in mid-air... Her mood immediately plummeted, and tears welled up in her eyes, swirling around them. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, trying to hold them back.
She couldn't cry; she had to be obedient. His Majesty was already angry; she couldn't upset him any further. Nan Zhiyun comforted herself, forcing herself to suppress her emotions. It was okay, she couldn't cry, she had to be obedient. She had already caused trouble; she couldn't be any more disobedient…
She forced a smile and followed Yu Jingchen in small steps, but her tears wouldn't listen and secretly slipped out from the corners of her eyes, the crystal teardrops instantly sliding down her cheeks.
