After saying this, the Marquis snorted in dissatisfaction and left angrily.

Before leaving, he glanced at Chu Lingfeng and Chu Weiyue. The two of them didn't say anything and took the initiative to follow him.

Halfway through the journey, Chu Weiyue felt something was wrong.

She has always been engaged to Wen Chenxuan, but today the emperor only said that they don't have to get married quickly, but he didn't say that they don't have to get married in the future.

As the saying goes, a king’s words are never a joke. She had to hear the emperor say this in person to feel truly at ease.

If she were to marry Wen Chenxuan, a playboy, she might as well find a piece of tofu to smother herself to death!

Or if she forcibly took possession of Wen Jingchi, it would be a hundred thousand times better than marrying Wen Chenxuan.

While no one was paying attention, Chu Weiyue sneaked away and asked the palace maid to successfully find the emperor's study.

The lights in the imperial study flickered. The emperor was carefully reviewing memorials, and the black shadow trembled slightly with the candlelight.

After the notification, Chu Weiyue was led in by the eunuch.

There were only the two of them here, and the emperor didn't need to hide any emotions. His gloomy expression was mixed with emotions that Chu Weiyue didn't understand.

Chu Weiyue didn't care about his face anymore. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I know I deserve death just now. I offended you unintentionally. Please don't take it personally. You are the emperor, of noble status..."

Chu Weiyue wished she could rattle off all the words of praise she knew.

Although I have heard a lot of flattery, this is the first time I have heard such straightforward flattery. I couldn't help but chuckle.

Chu Weiyue secretly glanced at his expression and finally let go of her worries. It seemed that he had calmed down, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed. Then she got to the point.

"Your Majesty, I am sure you will cancel the engagement with the Crown Prince for me. Your Majesty is a man among men, and I am so coarse and vulgar that I am not even one ten-thousandth of a match for Your Majesty..."

After degrading himself to the dust, Chu Weiyue deliberately elevated Wen Chenxuan to the supreme position.

If the emperor had not heard the truth that Chu Weiyue said openly, he would have been moved and ordered them to get married immediately.

But when he really knew about Wen Chenxuan's scandal, his face became even uglier, and he clenched his fists in embarrassment and shame.

In the past, he only knew that Chu Weiyue was vulgar and ugly, and lusted after men. But today he found out that she was so eloquent, no wonder she was so famous!

The state affairs have been giving him a headache lately, and he has no intention to care about these things. He can only wave his hand at Chu Weiyue and say, "Since you are so heartless and have no intention of falling in love with me, forget about the engagement. You can go back first."

After bowing his head, Chu Weiyue was so happy that he wanted to fly. Fearing that the emperor would go back on his word, he almost ran away.

Looking at Chu Weiyue's fleeing figure, the emperor angrily smashed the teacup in front of him. Thinking of today's humiliation, he became even more angry.

"Eunuch Zhang, immediately convey my order that the Crown Prince be confined to his house for a month. He is not allowed to step out of the palace without my order!"

By the way, he wrote an imperial edict and asked Eunuch Zhang to deliver it early tomorrow morning.

When she arrived at the palace gate, she found the whole family waiting for her. After getting on the carriage, she looked uneasy and didn't even hear what Chu Lingfeng said to her.

Everything went too smoothly today, to the point where she couldn't believe it, which made her feel even more confused.

After their carriage left, a cold and stunning face appeared in a black carriage next to it.

Wen Jingchi frowned slightly. Everything that happened today was beyond his expectations. How could the situation develop in such a strange way?

This Chu Weiyue, for the first time, made him feel that he actually didn't quite understand her...

When they returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already late, so the Marquis didn't say anything much and asked everyone to go to bed first.

Chu Lingfeng was not sleepy at all and went to Chu Weiyue's room.

The moment he pushed open the door, Chu Weiyue was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes and wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

“Is this where I live?”

Chu Weiyue ran to the yard to take a look and confirmed that this was the place where he lived.

This action made Chu Lingfeng laugh bitterly, and he tapped her head lightly: "Girl, you don't even recognize your own yard. Brother has been gone for so long, I didn't expect you to be getting more and more stupid!"

His words were full of disparagement, but his eyes were full of doting.

Chu Weiyue snorted disdainfully: "It must be that some people are good at superficial work!"

It must be that shameless Song, who knew that Chu Lingfeng had returned and was afraid that Chu Lingfeng would cause trouble for her, so she immediately had the room decorated.

Perhaps some memories of the original owner still exist in the body. When Chu Weiyue is with Chu Lingfeng, she feels relaxed and happy.

Chu Weiyue didn't remember many of the things he asked, so she could only laugh them off. Fortunately, he didn't ask too many questions and let Chu Weiyue go to bed early.

The next morning, the family sat around the table preparing for breakfast.

Today's breakfast was very rich, with fish, shrimp, chicken and duck. Chu Weiyue served herself a bowl of thick, fragrant and glutinous rice porridge as if no one was around, and took a sip with satisfaction.

The Marquis's face instantly became darker and he threw down his chopsticks in dissatisfaction.

"You little girl, we haven't even started eating yet, but you still have the nerve to eat. I haven't settled accounts with you about yesterday. Do you know that your reckless behavior almost ruined the entire family? If the emperor gets angry and charges you with disobeying the emperor's order, all three of our clans will be buried with you!"

Chu Lingfeng advised with some depression: "Father, it's not that serious. With our status in the court, even if my sister really angered the emperor, she would at most be imprisoned for a few years or exiled to the frontier."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, and the atmosphere became more lively.

The Marquis snorted indifferently. Due to Chu Lingfeng's protection, he didn't want to say more about it.

But Song and Chu Ranxin seized the opportunity and began to fan the flames.

Chu Ranxin glared at Chu Lingfeng in reproach: "Brother, you think too simply. Regardless of whether the punishment is severe or not, it is a fact that my sister has angered the emperor, and Daddy will be embarrassed as well. Who in the court would be willing to be close to Daddy?"

Song hurriedly helped: "You are right. Besides, Wei Yue is a girl after all, and she will get married eventually. She could have married into a good family and broadened your father's and your career, but the marriage with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been cancelled. Who would dare to offend the Crown Prince and marry her? Your father is now alone in the court..."

It wasn't originally so serious, but after Song's eloquent description, the consequences became serious and unforgivable!

Seeing Chu Ranxin's mouth almost stretched to the sky, he pretended to be panicked and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Father, you are right. I was too reckless yesterday. Regardless of whether the Emperor has directly said to cancel the engagement, he must still be hesitating. I will go to the palace to apologize to him later, saying that I was just angry with the Crown Prince. With father and brother here, the Crown Prince will definitely make peace with me again..."
