When the old eunuch came back from walking around another courtyard, he was unable to say anything.
Other courtyards were not only better than his, but he couldn't even find one with fewer holes than his. It seemed that what Situ Yao said was the truth, and the courtyard he gave him was the most presentable one in the imperial mausoleum.
Situ Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the old eunuch and said, "Have you finished reading it? Who is holding me accountable, you, the eunuch, or my father? Who is looking down on me, the eunuch, or the master in the palace?"
Upon hearing this, the old eunuch's heart trembled. He looked at Situ Yao tremblingly and said in a trembling voice: "This... this is all a misunderstanding. This old servant has never been disrespectful to Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"You are just a eunuch, yet you dare to hold me accountable? Who gave you the courage?" Situ Yao's expression became even colder.
The old eunuch's legs went limp, and he knelt down tremblingly in front of Situ Yao: "Your Highness, please understand. I have never been disrespectful to you in the slightest!"
Originally, the old eunuch thought that this matter was the prince's fault anyway, and even if it ended up in front of the emperor, it would be a good opportunity for Concubine Bai to make a fuss.
But the situation is different now. The prince is also the one who is treated harshly, so the emperor will deal with him even for the sake of the royal dignity.
"Is that so?" Situ Yao sneered, turned around and left, his voice very calm when he spoke: "In that case, please make sure to patrol carefully recently. However, there are many wild animals in the nearby mountains, so you must be careful to avoid any accidents."
These words were spoken with a hint of threat, and the eunuch's heart sank when he heard it. In short, Situ Yao was not making things difficult for him at the moment, so the old eunuch immediately knelt down to thank him and thought about how to leave this place as soon as possible.
Before the next night, Situ Yao, who was drinking outside the imperial mausoleum, heard someone reporting that the old eunuch had left.
Situ Yao sneered, "You slipped away so quickly."
Su Mengyan, however, frowned, feeling quite amused and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, since you ordered this house to be demolished, where are we going to sleep tonight?"
Could it be possible that he would continue to sleep in the imperial mausoleum?
"What? Are you scared?" Situ Yao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Su Mengyan immediately shook her head, she just felt that it was a little stuffy in there.
Situ Yao didn't know whether it was because he was in a good mood or because he was pleased by Su Mengyan's reaction. In short, there was a smile on the corner of his lips and he didn't tease her anymore.
"The house will be repaired today. I won't let you and I continue to sleep in the imperial mausoleum," Situ Yao said in a light and gentle voice, with a hint of smile. He sat in the tree, his expression was rare and relaxed and comfortable. "Su Xianshi, you are really my lucky star. Since you came to me, everything has been going smoothly for me. I haven't had any troubles since."
Su Mengyan's heart sank when she heard this, for she was afraid that Situ Yao would really express his feelings to her.
Situ Yao herself has a cold and capricious personality. If the prince falls in love with her but is rejected, she is afraid that she will be dead soon.
So before Situ Yao said anything he shouldn't have, Su Mengyan interrupted and spoke first.
"I don't think that the success of His Highness has anything to do with me. We are currently in the Imperial Mausoleum, the territory of the late Queen. If anyone in this area wants to harm His Highness, it would be impossible."
In fact, it is because since meeting Cui Mixue, Situ Yao has been almost like her patron saint. The two of them redeem each other, so she will definitely not live as miserably as before.
Although Su Mengyan didn't know what had changed about herself, this one thing was obviously not changed.
"You're quite good at talking," Situ Yao chuckled softly and asked as usual, "Do you know what Father will do next?"
Su Mengyan was a little distracted as she looked at him. As a person who was obsessed with looks, Situ Yao's appearance was exactly what Su Mengyan liked. She was distracted and spoke without thinking, and only uttered two words.
"Become a king."
