Chapter 153 One Person in One Life is Enough
"Hmm?" The King of the Northwest looked at Ye Qingyu again. After Mu Xin's persuasion, he had calmed down. This matter could not be handled with a tough attitude. Some means were needed.
The late emperor was furious over the affair between Prince Shi and Mo Qitian, ultimately causing a rift between father and son. Even upon his father's death, Prince Shi refused to return to the capital, demonstrating the depth of his resentment. Qingyu was a son he had doted on for twenty years; how could he allow him to repeat the same mistakes? Furthermore, Qingyu's status was special, and the Emperor Chu's mindset forbade him from such behavior.
So the King of the Northwest had Mu Yun summon Ye Qingyu, but he didn't discuss the matter between him and Qing Yi. Unexpectedly, Ye Qingyu knelt down, clearly insisting on making things clear, but the King of the Northwest didn't want to listen, because he hadn't figured out how to make them willingly separate.
"Father, Qing Yi is the one I love, I hope you will grant my wish." Although Ye Qingyu's tone was calm, his attitude was extremely firm.
"..." The study fell into silence again, and time froze at this moment.
Finally, the King of the Northwest could no longer suppress his impatience and said, "Qingyu, you and him only met three years ago because of the detoxification. Who are you to fall in love with him?"
"Father, my love for him is not simply because he cured me of the poison and saved my life."
"You don't want to take a concubine, is it just because of him? The emperor arranged the marriage for you, are you going to disobey the emperor's order for him?" The voice of the King of the Northwest suddenly became serious. He was a man of bad temper, but he could only endure to such an extent when facing his beloved son.
"It's enough for me to be with only one person in my life." Ye Qingyu said calmly and firmly.
"You kid! What tricks did that guy use to confuse you and make you unable to distinguish between good and evil? You saw it with your own eyes yesterday. When he asked for the one million taels of silver, he didn't hesitate at all. He is a member of the Demon Cult and is simply using you!" The King of the Northwest said angrily.
"Father, you gave him the banknote on your own initiative." Ye Qingyu couldn't help but make an excuse, but it sounded like he was being disloyal.
"I just wanted him to be more sensible and stop pestering you. If it weren't for the fact that his master is Mo Qitian and he saved you many times, do you think I would be polite to him? Don't think that I know nothing about what happened in the palace in the capital!"
"Father, it's not that he is pestering me, but I can't bear to leave him. Do you really think that one million taels can buy his favor of saving me? Three years ago, he detoxified me and lived in seclusion in a cave for three years. He couldn't practice martial arts and couldn't contact anyone. Do you know how he survived? A few days ago in the palace, I blocked a hidden weapon for my uncle and was almost poisoned to death. He fed me with his own blood and I was able to survive! On the way back, we were attacked. He didn't understand the formation at all, but rushed to stand in front of me and went alone to break the Seven Star Formation. You also understand the formation, and you should know how powerful the core of the Seven Star Formation is. If you are not careful, you will die. What do you think he wants? Is he just after the one million taels of silver?" Ye Qingyu said, his eyes red.
"..." The King of the Northwest fell silent. He remembered that Mu Xin had just advised him to take things slowly and not threaten Qingyu, otherwise it would backfire.
"Qingyu, father knows that you are grateful to Qingyi, and I also admit that this kid has some loyalty, but there is a huge gap between your status and you are both men, so this relationship will not last long..." The King of the Northwest persuaded again.
"How did you know, father, that we couldn't last long?" Ye Qingyu interrupted the King of the Northwest. He knew that he was being rude, but his father's words were hard for him to accept. Why did he curse them like that?
"Qingyu! Where have you learned your aristocratic family upbringing?" The King of the Northwest's face suddenly darkened, and he lectured Ye Qingyu unhappily.
"My child is rude."
"In any case, you take a concubine first, and we can talk about the other things later. I will pretend that I don't know about your affairs." The King of the Northwest made a concession. He did not force the two to separate immediately, and even promised to turn a blind eye, but Qingyu had to marry a wife and take a concubine.
"Father, I already have someone I love and I will not take a concubine." Ye Qingyu was finally determined. Although her father had made great concessions, how could he take a concubine?
"Qingyu, are you forcing my father?" The King of the Northwest did not expect that even after he had made such a big concession, Qingyu was still so determined. It was really going to kill him.
"Father, I dare not." Ye Qingyu was still kneeling with his back straight, his tone stubborn and calm.
"Don't dare? Humph! I think you are getting more and more daring!" The King of the Northwest felt that his temper was about to break out, but he didn't want to conflict with his son, so he waved his sleeves and left the study. He needed to calm down.
One hour passed, two hours passed...
Qing Yi didn't see Ye Qingyu until noon. Someone came in the morning and said that the King of Northwest had summoned the young prince, but most of the day had passed and he still hadn't returned.
"Master Qingyi, isn't the master here?" Qingqing had just come back from helping Doctor Lin.
"What does the King of the Northwest want to see him for? It's been half a day!" Qing Yi had just finished practicing martial arts and was waiting for Ye Qingyu to come back.
"Eh? The prince left the house two hours ago?" Qingqing was a little surprised.
"Huh? Your master also left the house?" Qing Yi asked.
"No, I just saw Lord Mu Bai and Lord Mu Xin accompanying the prince out of the palace."
"Then why hasn't he come back for so long?" Qing Yi frowned slightly.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask around." He said softly and ran away.
After a while, he came back trotting, panting and saying, "Master Qingyi, something bad has happened. The young prince is being punished by the prince to kneel."
"Kneeling as punishment? Where?" Qing Yi stood up suddenly after hearing that.
"The prince's study."
"Take me there!" Qing Yi's tone was unfriendly.
Qing Yi and Qing Qing hurried to the Northwest Prince's study, just in time to see the housekeeper standing at the door, worried: "What's going on between the prince and the young prince? The prince left with a displeased look on his face, and the young prince is still kneeling there, having been kneeling for two hours!"
When he saw the young man named Qing Yi and Qing Qing approaching, he quickly stepped forward to stop them: "You cannot enter without the prince's order."
