Emperor Ming Yan was discussing matters with others in the afternoon when he saw Gu Jiuxing rushing in, looking as if he had something to say.
Emperor Mingyan asked, "What happened?"
Gu Jiuxing whispered in his ear hastily, "The young prince's people came over and said that the young prince had a quarrel with the Duke this morning, and he was locked in his room and refused to eat or take medicine, and he refused to let anyone in. The Duke and the young prince's shadow guard had a fight... and they are still fighting."
Emperor Ming Yan frowned.
He went straight down and said, "We'll discuss this later."
As they hurriedly stood up and left, several people looked at each other. Lin Fujian said in a very light voice: "I seem to have heard Eunuch Gu mention the young prince?"
Everyone pretended not to hear and filed out, with only one thought in their minds: Your Highness, you are not going to make it, are you?
Emperor Ming Yan didn't even have time to change his clothes. He left the palace directly and rushed to Fuyuan.
It looked like the fight was over. The Dragon Guards were still guarding the area, and Huo Qijing was standing aside. The ground was a mess, with cups, bottles, stools, and everything else. It looked like the battle was brutal.
This means he couldn't even get in after a fight?
...
...
What a loss... Emperor Ming Yan glanced at this terrible son-in-law, and his mood was indescribable.
He scolded in a low voice: "She is just a foolish woman with unrealistic dreams. Since Yue'er is unhappy, just deal with it. Why do you have to argue with her? And even fight with her people?"
Huo Qijing said: "She doesn't eat."
He paused: "I just don't understand why she is so angry."
Emperor Ming Yan's voice was slightly lower: "This child can't stand the slightest anger."
Gu Jiuxing hesitated for a moment, but still said with courage: "Your Majesty, I have something to say... I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Emperor Mingyan frowned and said, "What are you talking about! Hurry up and speak!"
Gu Jiuxing said cautiously: "I think, Your Highness is very ambitious. Any problem can be easily solved by Your Highness. Even when Your Majesty was worried about Mobei, such a big problem was easily solved by Your Highness..."
He glanced at Huo Qijing quietly: "The only thing Your Highness can't solve is the issue of offspring. Your Highness takes medicine every day and practices martial arts hard, but for the time being... it still can't be solved. As a result, at this time, there is still a cunning citizen who is looking at Your Highness's pain and making trouble. What's the difference between this and slapping Your Highness in the face? How embarrassed must Your Highness be? How can he not be angry? This old servant feels bad for Your Highness."
Huo Qijing was stunned.
It was not until then that he understood why Yan Shiyue was so angry.
Indeed, to strike down a proud person, you must attack the things she is most proud of, the things she cannot change.
Emperor Mingyan's face also darkened. After a while, he slowly said, "I heard that someone in Qinzhou had cast a spell on Fuyan, causing her fortune to be damaged, causing her to fall into the water and get injured, and also causing the loss of her offspring."
Gu Jiuxing understood and stepped back silently.
Emperor Ming Yan sighed, patted Huo Qijing on the shoulder, and walked inside.
The dragon guard rushed forward to stop him. His face was still blue from the beating he had received. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The master said she will not see anyone."
Emperor Mingyan didn't react at first. He hummed and continued to walk forward. The dragon guards knelt and retreated, still blocking the front and kowtowing continuously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The master said that she will not see anyone."
Emperor Ming Yan slowly stopped walking.
He looked around at everyone in surprise. The dragon guards all bowed their heads to the ground, not daring to move.
Emperor Mingyan said, "Even I can't enter? How dare you stop me? Whose dragon guards are you?"
Everyone kowtowed and said, "We will die!"
Emperor Ming Yan smiled: "Okay, this time you have recognized the master clearly. My Yue'er, I can rest assured that you can protect her."
He strode in, and the dragon guards could only kneel to stop him. After all, they could not use swords against each other. He kicked them away one by one and went in.
Yan Shiyue was lying on the table crying.
Emperor Mingyan asked: "Yue'er?"
Her little shoulders twitched and she cried silently.
Emperor Mingyan touched her head and said softly, "You can be angry, but you have to eat! You just got better, but you're making a fuss again. Can't you let me worry less?"
Yan Shiyue slowly raised his head: "Aye."
"Um."
She choked up and said, "I, I'm thinking about a question."
"Um."
"If I were given another chance to choose, would I still save that child?"
She looked at him, tears still in her eyes: "I will, give me ten more choices, I will do it, even if I know the result will be like this. When I see a life struggling in front of me, about to pass away, I have the ability to save it but I don't, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life."
Emperor Ming Yan sighed silently and nodded.
She added: "But I'm wondering, if I were given another chance to choose, would I come again?"
Her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible. “When I came here, I wasn’t given a choice. But if God really gave me a chance to choose, I might… not come.”
This place does not belong to me. I am high and mighty here, yet I often feel out of place.
Emperor Mingyan didn't hear: "Yuer?"
Huo Qijing, who was outside the door, heard it and was furious: "Tang Shiyue! How dare you! Do you have any conscience?" He split the stone table with a sword, and there was a loud bang: "I really want to kill you now!"
Huo Qijing then strode in, his eyes red, and knelt down: "Today, in front of your majesty, Huo Qijing swears to heaven that even if Yue'er and I have no children in this life, Huo Qijing will still love, respect, pamper and protect Yue'er. For the rest of my life, I will never have a single word of complaint about this, nor will I have the slightest disdain in my heart. If I break this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Look at what you've done to other people's children.
Back then, Yan Chengyuan was not as calm as Huo Qijing is now, and he had never been like this before!
On his way back, Emperor Ming Yan sighed countless times.
When I get back to the palace and see the queen, I'll tell her about this...
Emperor Ming Yan sighed, "I am really old. How can these children be so noisy?"
The Queen covered her mouth and laughed for a long time: "Jing'er is a good child, it's your daughter who is too noisy! Let them handle this kind of thing themselves, why is the Emperor running to do it?"
Emperor Mingyan said: "I am just worried!"
He sighed and rubbed his forehead: "I won't be able to worry about it for a few days."
In fact, Emperor Ming Yan had some thoughts in his mind: "I guess only Huo Qijing can tolerate my child's temper. I have to arrange the marriage quickly while he still treats her as a treasure, otherwise he will regret it!"
He said, "As soon as the court affairs are over, I will arrange for them to get married, initially scheduled for the end of this month. Please urge the inner court officials to prepare everything."
This is not the time to complain about not wanting to part with your daughter. The queen smiled and stood up, bowing: "Yes! My child's father!"
