What Situ Yao didn't expect was that General Chen Yi didn't promise him that he would keep his distance from Chen Yalan in the future. Instead, he looked at Situ Yao confidently and said, "Your Majesty, I only have this one daughter, so naturally I have to look at her more often. Otherwise, I wouldn't have raised her for so many years in vain."
Well, actually, what General Chen Yi said made sense. He only had this one daughter, so it was only right for him to take a few more glances at her. However, at this time, there were many people in the former dynasty who were dissatisfied with Chen Yalan, which gave Situ Yao a headache.
"Although you only have this one daughter, she is now married. You should know some rules, General Chen. I hope you won't embarrass me too much." Situ Yao had to remind him.
General Chen Yi did not agree with Situ Yao's statement, but he did not dare to confront the leader of the country face to face, so he had to remain silent.
When Chen Yi did not comment on the matter, Situ Yao had no choice but to let him leave.
After Chen Yi left, Situ Yao was a little annoyed. Although he was not shy about talking about Chen Yalan, he just wanted Chen Yalan and Chen Yi to not be so close on the surface. However, he did not expect that his suggestion would be directly rejected by Chen Yi.
His cold tone seemed to be disrespecting himself. As the ruler of a country, all the ministers of this country had to be friendly and servile to him when they saw him, but General Chen Yi treated him like this.
I shook my head helplessly and sighed. He was old after all, so I didn't bother with him.
At this moment, the eunuch suddenly walked in again and said to Situ Yao, "Your Majesty, there are several censors outside who want to see you."
Since someone wanted to see him, Situ Yao naturally had to meet them, so he had to ask the eunuch to bring these people in.
After those adults came in, they told Situ Yao again what had happened in the court, and said that this matter must not be tolerated.
Situ Yao was quite troubled. This matter was a serious matter. In a small sense, it was just a married daughter who missed her parents and so walked more frequently. In a big sense, it was the concubines in the harem and the ministers of the previous dynasty who were colluding with each other. No matter what they were planning, it was prohibited by this country.
Of course, Situ Yao has great faith in both Chen Yalan and Chen Yi, father and daughter. They are generals who defend their country and are only thinking about how to defend the country. They will definitely not plot anything shocking.
So when these people mentioned this matter again in private, Situ Yao's face looked a little ugly.
He wanted to reprimand these ministers and tell them not to do such groundless things again.
But before he could open his mouth, a minister bowed to Situ Yao and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't want to talk about this matter, but now that things have come to this, I have to tell you. As far as I know, General Chen Yi seems to be considering marrying Chen Yi to Di Lansi."
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the imperial study instantly dropped to a low point. Situ Yao's face turned a little dark, and he looked at the minister who said this with cold eyes.
"Did I really let you eat and drink your fill just to let you gossip like women?" Situ Yao's words were merciless, and only made those ministers feel a little frightened.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." A group of ministers knelt on the floor of the imperial study, trembling slightly, and kept blaming the minister who said this in their hearts.
Even if such a thing really happened, you can't tell the emperor directly. You have to know that Chen Yalan is the emperor's concubine after all. Isn't saying this equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face?
As a minister of the country, Chen Yi wanted to marry his daughter to the king of another country. Doesn't that mean he thinks the king of his country is not as capable as the kings of other countries?
So no matter from which perspective, this sentence cannot be said.
Situ Yao took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart: "If you have nothing to do, get out of here."
Although those ministers still had some things to say, they knew that Situ Yao was on the verge of getting angry, so they had no choice but to run out with you with their tails between their legs, not daring to say anything more.
After those adults left the imperial study, Situ Yao was the only one left in the study. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a little unhappy.
He felt a little aggrieved. After becoming the emperor, he suffered some pains that ordinary people could hardly bear. However, he kept persuading himself that as an emperor, he had to endure things that ordinary people could not endure. But now he could not bear it anymore.
He was in a bad mood, so he left the imperial study alone and headed towards the Feng Palace.
At this time, he urgently needed Su Mengyan to be by his side to calm him down.
When he arrived at Feng Palace, he still looked a little depressed.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Su Mengyan asked immediately with concern upon seeing this. Although Situ Yao often talked to her about matters in the court, he had not seen Situ Yao like this for a long time, and he seemed to be a little aggrieved.
"Some people say that Chen Yi wants to remarry Chen Yalan to Dillans." Situ Yao smiled bitterly and said.
He smiled bitterly, not because he had any feelings for Chen Yalan, but because he felt that Chen Yalan was his concubine, and that Chen Yalan's father was slapping himself in the face by having such thoughts. As the ruler of a country, it was an extremely shameful thing to be slapped in the face by others.
As a man, even if he doesn't like a woman, as long as this woman has his label on her, he will never allow anyone else to touch her.
Moreover, this matter was reported by a minister, which shows that this matter was definitely not without signs.
He felt a little unhappy, but that was all.
After hearing what Situ Yao said, Su Mengyan was a little stunned. She didn't expect that Situ Yao would drop such a heavy bomb as soon as he came.
After she came to her senses, she felt helpless. She could understand Situ Yao's current mood. Although he was very dissatisfied with the world's three wives and four concubines, she had to learn to take things as they come since she came to this world.
Su Mengyan pulled Situ Yao over to the imperial concubine's couch and forced him to sit on it. "Your Majesty is only listening to the ministers' words. Who knows if those ministers are deliberately trying to slander them? Without evidence, this matter is just groundless rumors. Your Majesty should not overthink it."
