Thinking of this, she smiled disdainfully and said, "Prince Yan is the biological father of my son Kang'er. For Kang'er's sake, I will keep my mouth shut about Prince Yan's affairs. I hope Prince Yan will treat Kang'er well and protect the Grand Tutor's Mansion."
Feeling guilty, Yan Wang released Hongyu. He had come here today not out of pity for Hongyu, but to protect himself.
Last night, a spy reported that Hongyu had moved into Chengyuan. This morning, another message arrived: Hongyu had entered the Mu family. So he rushed to the Grand Tutor's mansion and ordered someone to bring Hongyu back. Unexpectedly, he just received another secret report: Prince Lu has sent someone to escort Hongyu back to Chengyuan.
Prince Lu is getting close to Hongyu? Could it be that he's trying to spy on Prince Yan's residence? Absolutely not!
Seeing that Hongyu had already laid her cards on the table, Prince Yan decided to get straight to the point. He took out a letter and handed it to Hongyu, shaking his head and sighing with feigned worry, “Alas! The Grand Tutor’s health is deteriorating. To repay my teacher, I have brought Xiansheng to Prince Yan’s residence to study. In the future, I will definitely help him pass the imperial examinations and become an official in the court.”
Upon seeing Xiansheng's handwriting, Hongyu was furious. Yan Wang's actions were clearly a way of threatening her with Xiansheng.
Now that the Grand Tutor's mansion exists in name only, it would be better to rely on Prince Yan and save her life. So, she knelt down with a thud and sincerely swore, "Hongyu is willing to serve Prince Yan and begs Prince Yan to protect the Grand Tutor's mansion's glory and wealth."
King Yan was delighted to see this. His purpose in coming here was to keep Hongyu outside. If Hongyu was sensible, he would spare her life for the time being; if Hongyu was ungrateful, he would definitely eliminate her completely.
Those who aspire to great things must not be swayed by personal feelings!
He helped Hongyu up and whispered a warning, "From now on, Yu'er, you can stay in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. If you don't like the Grand Tutor's Mansion, I will find you a place to live. Right now, someone is investigating the matter of the abandoned corpse in the mass grave. I suspect that Prince Lu wants to take action against me. Therefore, Yu'er must not have any dealings with Mu Chenyu, the Mu family, or Prince Lu, so as not to give them any leverage."
Hongyu looked astonished, but inwardly she found it amusing. Yesterday, upon returning to the capital, she had people spread the news of the abandoned corpses at the mass grave, just to unsettle Prince Yan and prevent him from spending his days indulging in pleasure with Qiushuang'er, thus neglecting Kang'er.
However, the King of Yan forbade her to associate with Chen Yu, which she found difficult to agree to.
Just then, someone outside the door announced, "Miss Chenyu has arrived."
