This way.
Inside the palace.
Qin Mohan, along with Ye Jingyu, followed Eunuch Yin to the Emperor's study.
At that moment, the emperor was holding a brush and drawing something on the table.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."
"Grandson greets His Majesty."
After Qin Mohan and Ye Jingyu entered, the father and son knelt down and bowed to the Emperor.
After hearing this, the Emperor did not look up at them, nor did he ask them to get up; he simply nodded slightly.
Upon seeing this, Qin Mohan frowned slightly, looking puzzled. He pursed his lips and turned to look at Eunuch Yin.
Eunuch Yin felt his gaze, shook his head at him, indicating that he himself did not know the Emperor's intentions.
Ye Jingyu also noticed that the Emperor, who had always been very fond of him, was ignoring him today.
He was very puzzled and turned to look at Qin Mohan.
Qin Mohan shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't know either.
The father and son knelt there, filled with doubt.
After kneeling for about half an incense stick's time.
The Emperor finally put down the pen he was holding, then raised his head, looked at the father and son, and spoke calmly.
"Get up!"
"Yes, Father."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"kindness!"
The Emperor nodded slightly again, then looked at Ye Jingyu and asked, "Yu'er, have you been with your mother since you were little?"
"Yes, Grandfather."
"kindness!"
After hearing this, the Emperor nodded again.
"Eunuch Yin."
"Your servant is here."
"Go...summon Physician Fang, Physician Chen, come here."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Summon the imperial physician?
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan frowned, looking quite puzzled.
Why did Father Emperor summon the imperial physician?
Qin Mohan looked at the Emperor with a puzzled expression.
And at this time.
The emperor also looked at him.
"Han'er".
"Father."
"I've heard that during the six years you've been at the border, Princess Han has been living alone in the Cold Courtyard?"
"Uh... Your subject..."
"Is it or isn't it?"
"yes."
"Hmm! In the past six years, has anyone in your household had contact with her?"
Qin Mohan frowned slightly after hearing this.
What did the Emperor mean by asking that? Did he suspect the Princess again?
The Emperor saw Qin Mohan remain silent, his eyes blazing.
"explain."
"Yes, Father Emperor!"
"have?"
"Yes, for the past few years, it has been Butler Wang who has been helping to take care of the Princess."
"Yeah?"
Qin Mohan nodded.
Upon seeing this, the emperor picked up a memorial from the table and threw it hard at him.
"You scoundrel! You dare to lie to me for a woman? How have I taught you all these years?"
Qin Mohan was startled by the Emperor's sudden action. After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly knelt down and lowered his head.
"Your subject dares not."
Ye Jingyu was also startled. Seeing Qin Mohan kneel down, he knelt down as well.
"Dare not? Hmph, if you dare not, why do you dare to lie to me? Since I summoned you here, I have already investigated and found out the truth."
"You think that just because it's in your residence, I can't find out? You dare to lie to me?"
"Your son...your subject..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan realized that the Emperor had already investigated the matter and was at a loss for words.
The Emperor looked at Qin Mohan, closed his eyes briefly, and then spoke again: "I have taught you since childhood that those who achieve great things must not be swayed by emotions. You have done very well over the years, and I am very pleased."
But now, look at yourself! In what way do you resemble the cold-hearted prince everyone talks about? You actually dared to deceive even me for a woman.
Qin Mohan was so reprimanded by the Emperor that he didn't dare to say a word.
He felt very uneasy at that moment.
Seeing that he remained silent again, the emperor seemed too lazy to say another word to him.
He then shifted his gaze to Ye Jingyu, his eyes narrowing slightly.
About a few breaths later.
The Emperor spoke calmly, "My son, your grandfather is asking you a question. You must answer truthfully."
Ye Jingyu looked up at the Emperor and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay! Now get up."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Yu'er, come here, look at this character and see what it is?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyu walked over and looked at the two characters for "loyalty" written by the Emperor on the table.
He said, "Yes, loyalty."
"Hmm! Yu'er, do you know the meaning of the words?"
"Grandson, I understand."
"Alright, then let me ask you, did you grow up with your mother?"
"Yes, Grandfather."
"Okay!
"Grandfather, did we do something wrong?" Ye Jingyu asked cautiously when he saw that the Emperor's expression had softened considerably.
The Emperor glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "Yu'er, has your mother ever told you where she learned all those skills?"
Ye Jingyu shook his head: "No."
"Oh? You didn't ask?"
"kindness!"
"Alright, Grandfather understands. Now tell Grandfather, besides being well-read, skilled in medicine, and able to do some strange things, what else can your mother do?"
"she…"
"Father..."
Just as Ye Jingyu was about to answer, Qin Mohan, fearing he would reveal that Ye Qingcheng knew martial arts, quickly interrupted him.
"Shut up."
However, before Qin Mohan could finish speaking, the Emperor reprimanded him and silenced him.
"snort!"
Seeing that Qin Mohan had shut his mouth, the Emperor snorted coldly and looked at Ye Jingyu again.
