Yun Wenyao and Liu Hui fell into the water together. Upon hearing the news, the wife of Marquis Wuding hurriedly took Chen Shuyi back.
This matter is becoming more and more difficult.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Marquis Wuding and his wife closed the door and discussed the matter. They both agreed that this marriage would definitely fail.
It is a foregone conclusion that Yun Wenyao will become the son-in-law of the emperor.
Originally, because of Master Yun's insistence, they had already started choosing an auspicious day and even started preparing the wedding dress, but now it seems that something unexpected is bound to happen.
After discussing it, the couple immediately went to the Taifu Mansion, but they were a step too late. The Taifu had already entered the palace to meet the emperor.
After such a big thing happened, Yun Wen Yao simply packed himself up and rushed home to report to his father.
After learning the whole story, Grand Tutor Yun could only take his son to apologize. In the past, because he did not want his son's career to be ruined, Grand Tutor Yun chose to pretend to be ignorant of Liu Hui's wishful thinking. As long as he could delay it until his son's wedding, this difficult situation would be over.
But now that two people have fallen into the water, this is a serious matter and it is impossible for him to pretend he doesn't know.
Holding on to the last hope, Master Yun decided to take a gamble and talk to the emperor about his intentions. If it could still be salvaged, he would rather the Yun family be punished than have his son's future ruined.
Even if he incurred the dislike of Emperor De Sheng, he could be sent to the local area to gain experience for a few years. When the eldest princess got married, or even when Emperor De Sheng passed away, he would be able to transfer him back sooner or later as long as he was in the court.
But once he becomes a royal consort, it is irreversible.
In the Imperial Study, upon seeing Emperor Desheng, Grand Tutor Yun and Yun Wenyao immediately knelt down and said, "Your humble servants pay their respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Stand up."
The deep male voice sounded old, cold and icy, and one could tell from the moment he heard it that he was in a bad mood.
Emperor De Sheng is nearly sixty years old and has many wrinkles on his face, probably because there are too many women in the harem, and he lacks energy. He is thin, and although he has the aura unique to a superior, he also has the gloomy aura unique to a suspicious emperor.
"I am guilty of not educating my children well. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Taifu Yun apologized in fear and trepidation.
"Oh? What crime have you committed, my dear?"
Emperor Desheng had a half-smile on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"The rebellious son is naughty and has offended the princess." To be able to become the head of the Three Dukes, Taifu Yun not only has real talents and knowledge, but is also absolutely outstanding in observing the words and expressions of the emperor and guessing his intentions.
After hearing Emperor Desheng's obviously sarcastic question, Grand Tutor Yun knew, "Oh no! They're going to send troops to punish me."
Children are always the best for one's own family. Liu Hui pursued Yun Wenyao but was rejected. Such a shameful thing must have made his father very angry!
But in the final analysis, Liu Hui's behavior was absurd, and Emperor De Sheng was in the wrong and couldn't say anything, but the fall into the water gave him an excuse to get angry.
Taifu Yun immediately realized that the old emperor had been holding this grudge for a long time, and this time he was going to hold their Yun family accountable!
Master Yun's mind raced, and he could already foresee the consequences. He was sweating profusely, and panicked as he hurried to save the situation. "I have the audacity to ask the Emperor for the hand of marriage on behalf of my rebellious son. I ask for the hand of marriage from His Royal Highness the Princess."
Yun Wenyao, who was also kneeling, froze and was completely stunned. Even though he wanted to loudly refute what Master Yun said in his heart, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor.
When the emperor is angry, corpses will be scattered all over the place. This is not scary.
"Oh, really?" His expression remained unchanged, and the smile in Emperor Desheng's eyes still did not reach his eyes. However, his extremely bad mood finally eased a little, and he said meaningfully, "However, I heard that you are engaged with the Wuding Marquis Mansion, aren't you?"
Knowing that his son was already engaged, he still allowed the princess to act so recklessly? Taifu Yun felt aggrieved, but he kept a straight face. "Your Majesty, Marquis Wuding and I have already discussed this marriage, and we both intend to cancel it."
Marquis Wu Ding did come to discuss breaking off the engagement, but at the time he still wanted to save his son and not let him become a son-in-law, so he played Tai Chi.
"Cancel the engagement, my dear, why is that?" Emperor De Sheng smiled deeply, feeling very satisfied with Master Yun's ability to know the current situation.
If you dislike his daughter, you are slapping him in the face!
Emperor De Sheng had long held a grudge against the Yun family and the Wuding Marquisate, but he had never been able to find a reason. Originally, he had planned to punish the Yun family severely this time to serve as a warning to others, but since Taifu Yun was sensible, he could let them go.
"Your Majesty, I am very sorry. There is nothing wrong with educating my son, but it is me, the rebellious son, who can't help but love the eldest princess even though we are already engaged. I feel that I have let down Marquis Wuding, so I decided to cancel the engagement to avoid damaging the reputation of the girl in the Marquis's mansion." Taifu Yun said seriously.
"Really? Yun Wenyao, let me ask you, do you really love the eldest princess?"
On the way here, Master Yun had given them many warnings, telling them that when they met the Emperor, they should follow his instructions and act accordingly. If they made any mistakes, the entire Yun family would be doomed!
Yun Wen Yao is not stupid, but very smart. How could he not understand after hearing this?
His father wanted him to admit that he liked Liu Hui!
Although he was filled with resentment, after being questioned by Emperor Desheng, Yun Wenyao could only bow his head to the ground and apologize in the most humble manner.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am guilty. Even though we were already engaged, I still admired the eldest princess. I deserve to die!" Yun Wenyao gritted his teeth, feeling indignant and desperate. He could only follow Master Yun's words insincerely.
"Your Majesty! Please forgive me! The eldest princess is a beautiful woman, but I, as a rebellious son, have the audacity to have the delusion of committing a crime against you. Please punish me!" Taifu Yun pleaded with fear and at the top of his lungs.
