Chapter 107 I Want to See You Make a Fool of Yourself
By this time, two hours had passed since they had spent time alone together.
The carefree king was even more devastated.
My brother and mother trust this woman far too much. So much time has passed, and they haven't even come in to check on the situation?
He declared that this was the darkest moment of his more than 20 years of life.
Even when he helped his elder brother seize the throne a few years ago and was framed by several mortal enemies to the point of being on the verge of death, he was not this devastated.
Yu Zhiyi sat there until after midnight before opening her eyes.
She took out a talisman from her bosom and walked to the bedside.
Although the Prince of Xiaoyao was seriously injured, he forced himself to stay awake because he was worried that Ruan Jinning would take the opportunity to retaliate.
Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes with amusement.
Yu Zhiyi casually flicked her wrist, muttered incantations for a moment, and then the talisman emitted a light green light.
The light enveloped the carefree king, and he felt completely comfortable.
The comfortable feeling started in my lower back and spread to other parts of my body.
Before long, the light dissipated, and ashes scattered on the bedside table. Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "It's done."
The carefree king didn't believe the treatment process was so easy, but with a slight movement, he sat up.
he:"……"
After the initial surprise, he gritted his teeth and said, "If it's so easy, why did you waste so much time?"
Does she know how he's been spending this time?!
Yu Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Perhaps it's because the tea is delicious, the snacks are tasty, or perhaps there's something about this palace that I appreciate, so I want to stay here a little longer?"
She practically said, "I want to see you make a fool of yourself under psychological torture."
The carefree prince understood the subtext and was so angry he almost fainted.
Yu Zhiyi was naturally not afraid of his anger, and she went straight over and opened the door.
The Empress Dowager was old and in good health, but she could not stay up for more than an hour and went back to rest.
The emperor had been waiting at the door. When Yu Zhiyi came out, his gaze went past her to the Prince Xiaoyao in the main hall, and his eyes lit up with joy: "Xiaoyao!"
The carefree king, whose real name is Leng Xiaoyao.
Yu Zhiyi had no interest in observing the brotherhood and said he would take his leave.
The emperor originally intended to let her stay overnight since it was getting late, but Yu Zhiyi naturally refused.
The carefree prince was furious. If she really stayed, he didn't know what kind of bad tricks he would come up with.
She wasn't afraid of him, but she also didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.
Besides, he'll be paralyzed again soon, and she doesn't want to be blackmailed.
Seeing that Yu Zhiyi ran faster than a rabbit, the Carefree King sneered, "She does know what's good for her!"
The palace is his territory. If that woman really stays tonight, he promises to give her a lesson she'll never forget!
The emperor frowned as he looked at his gloomy eyes: "This woman has great abilities and can bring blessings to my Great Sheng Empire. Let's settle your little grudges here."
The carefree prince opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Royal brother, you also side with her?"
The emperor shook his head: "There was no enmity between you. In fact, you were the one who started the trouble for no reason. Let's not even talk about the palace banquet. You even sent someone to kill her today. You are really... muddleheaded!"
His eyes betrayed disappointment: "You've become someone else because of a woman."
The carefree prince frowned: "Royal brother, I simply can't stand these kinds of swindlers, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Such nonsense can only fool others. The emperor's information network has long since figured out the four-way relationship between Yu Zhiyi, Du Ziheng, You Bingyue, and his foolish younger brother, so he naturally won't fall for it.
Seeing his younger brother's stubbornness, his voice turned cold: "Doctor Yu, you must not make any more moves. If my verbal warning is ineffective, don't blame me for using special methods."
Fearing that his brother, blinded by greed, wouldn't understand, he said, "I will make the person who started all this disappear. If that day ever comes, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The Carefree King: "!!"
Knowing his elder brother's absolute nature, the Prince of Xiaoyao could only grit his teeth and agree, no matter how unwilling he was: "Your subject understands."
As soon as Yu Zhiyi stepped out of the palace gate, she saw the carriage waiting outside.
Du Ziheng jumped out of the car. Seeing that she moved freely and that her complexion was normal by the light of the torch, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go home."
Yu Zhiyi paused for a moment, refrained from asking the pointless question "Why did he come?", and got into the carriage.
The carriage moved forward slowly.
She remembered something and wondered, "Isn't there a curfew in the capital?"
Apart from officials summoned late at night and those granted special permission, anyone else who dares to wander the streets during the curfew will be either arrested and imprisoned or, in more serious cases, shot dead on the spot.
Du Ziheng said, "I guessed you might not stay overnight in the palace, so I asked my father to apply for a pass."
With the pass, people can go out on the streets during curfew.
Of course, the pass is temporary and will expire after the applied period.
Yu Zhiyi nodded without saying anything.
Du Ziheng wasn't a particularly curious person, so he didn't ask what had happened in the palace. He only asked her, "Has the matter in the palace been resolved?"
"Okay, all done."
The carriage fell silent again.
Neither of them broke the silence. When they arrived at the Du residence, Du Ziheng got off the carriage first.
He reached out to help Yu Zhiyi, but she avoided his hand.
Du Ziheng stared blankly at his empty palm for a moment.
Yu Zhiyi landed steadily.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a talisman from her sleeve: "Winter warmth and summer coolness talisman, for you."
She didn't like owing favors, so she considered this talisman as repayment for his hard work waiting for her tonight.
Du Ziheng pursed his lips and suddenly realized that what he used to want so much, he no longer craved so much.
Yu Zhiyi frowned at him. Seeing that he didn't reach out, she grabbed his wrist and stuffed the talisman into his palm: "Take it. As long as it doesn't get dirty, this talisman can be used indefinitely and won't become ineffective."
Du Ziheng: "..."
Although she pulled his wrist, she didn't touch his body at all.
The talisman fell directly into his palm.
She seemed to regard him as a monster.
After a long while, he sighed softly.
Dulin saw his young master's reaction and curled his lip.
If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
He had reminded him on their wedding night, but the young master wouldn't listen and insisted on leaving his bride behind.
You can just leave it there; you can spend the night in the study or go back to Mingxi Garden.
But you insist on going to find You Bingyue.
Now it's all right, isn't it?
The bride, who once took him for granted, now sees how good he is.
But what's the use?
When Yu Zhiyi returned to her room, a ray of golden light of merit entered between her eyebrows.
However, she wasn't very happy, because she knew that the golden light would soon dissipate.
On second thought, something's not right.
