Liu Yu hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, may you be well..."
The Empress ignored Liu Yu and rushed into the room with two old nannies. Soon after, the sound of a man crying could be heard from inside, "Waaah... I'll never dare to do it again!"
"I know I was wrong..."
"Madam, please spare me..."
Chen Yu covered her face with a handkerchief and couldn't help but laugh. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Liu Yu kneeling on the ground, looking at her.
She avoided Liu Yu's gaze, glancing at his chest. He was able to accompany the Prince of Yan in his revelry; his wounds must have healed by now.
"Yu Yu exposes Yan Wang again, and Yu Lang admires her."
Shen Yu shook her head. She didn't know Yan Wang's whereabouts. Someone had tipped off the Empress that Yan Wang was having a secret meeting with a male favorite in a small courtyard in the south of the city, so the Empress asked her to come along.
She moved closer to examine the courtyard. The courtyard was rather simple, and the garden was overgrown with weeds. It was clear that no one lived there regularly. It seemed that someone had deliberately set a trap to lure Yan Wang into a trap.
"You've fallen for their trap. I didn't expect there would be someone who disapproves of your behavior. It must be someone you know well."
Liu Yu was surprised, "Besides Yu Yu, who else dares to target King Yan?"
Prince Yan was escorted over by his guards, glaring angrily at Chen Yu.
"Mu Chenyu! You must have deliberately set a trap to harm me. Don't deny it. A woman like you who dares to do something but doesn't dare to admit it, even if I live out my days alone, I will not be controlled by you. You should marry Liu Yu as soon as possible."
Liu Yu felt a sense of dread and eagerly awaited Shen Yu's reaction.
As expected of Chen Yu, who was intolerant of any dissent, she slapped Yan Wang hard across the face when she saw the guards holding him hostage.
"Even if you are the King of Looks, you cannot tarnish my reputation!"
"Mu Chenyu? You dare to hit me? Do you know that even the Emperor has never hit me..."
Hearing Yan Wang's roar, the Empress rushed over. Seeing Chen Yu's fierce demeanor and then looking at the handprint on Yan Wang's face, she couldn't help but smile with delight.
“Very good. If it weren’t for Chen Yu’s slap, I would still be hesitant to make up my mind.”
