Soon, Izumi Masako arrived before Tokuyoshi Yasuhito and said, "Greetings, General."
"How is Yongcheng?"
"The head physician has set the prince's bones and applied medicine. He just needs to rest for a while," Izumi Masako replied respectfully, bowing her head.
Hearing that his son could recover, Tokuyoshi Yasuhito felt a little relieved and said to Izumi Masako, "Yūsei acted impulsively. Go prepare some gifts and go to the villa to apologize to the Prince and Princess of Da Chu. Make sure you get their forgiveness, or don't come back."
Masako Izumi paused for a moment, then replied softly, "Yes!"
Just as Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu were about to head to the shogunate, a servant came to report that the Imperial Household Department requested an audience.
"They've moved quite quickly." Su Ruojin could easily guess the purpose of Yutai's visit.
"Let's take a look first," Xiao Yanchu said. "Let them in."
Before long, Izumi Masako came to the two of them, followed by a group of servants who carried boxes and placed them in front of Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu. She bowed deeply to the two of them.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the young prince was unaware of the little princess's identity and has offended us greatly. We hope Your Highness and Your Highness will forgive him. This is a small token of our general's appreciation."
“Lord Odai, my daughter is only five years old. Do you think your crown prince can get away with this?” Su Ruojin looked coldly at Izumi Masako.
Masako Izumi bowed again, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince is young and ignorant. I hope you adults will forgive him this time."
The crown prince has now lost his arm, and the shogunate has also lost dozens of samurai; they have paid a price.
"Heh, Imperial Palace, you know your Crown Prince summoned dozens of warriors to deal with my daughter. Tell me, if we had no way to protect ourselves, would we just let your Crown Prince abuse us?" Su Ruojin was not about to forgive so easily.
When Masako Izumi heard that Yasuhito Tokuyoshi had asked her to come to the villa to apologize, she knew that he was pushing her out to suffer this injustice.
"Princess Consort of Great Chu, I don't know what we can do to get you to forgive the Crown Prince. We will do whatever it takes to help you," Izumi Masako said sincerely.
"Have the Crown Prince personally kneel down and kowtow to my daughter to apologize, and at the same time write a confession that will be posted throughout Chigen City," Su Ruojin stated her demands.
Masako Izumi was taken aback; she hadn't expected Su Ruojin to make such a request.
Based on her understanding of Deyi Kangren, she knew he would never allow his son to do such a thing.
Doesn't this just tell the world that his son is flawed and capable of making mistakes?
But how could someone who is the son of God make a mistake?
This goes against De Yi Kangren's plan.
Izumi Masako gave a wry smile. "Princess Consort of Great Chu, it's not that I'm unwilling to agree, but I can't make that decision myself. Based on my understanding of the General, he probably won't agree. Could we try another approach?"
“If your general is willing to do this for the young master, I can accept it,” Su Ruojin said with a cold laugh.
If anyone dares to touch her thoughts, she will not let it go easily.
Masako Izumi remained silent. How could Tokuyoshi Yasuhito, as the Shogun, possibly kneel down and apologize to a five-year-old girl?
Then, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Su Ruojin and said, "Princess Consort of Great Chu, our general is unable to move around easily and is therefore not in a position to do this. How about I kneel down and apologize to the princess on behalf of the Crown Prince?"
Su Ruojin looked at Izumi Masako without saying a word for a long time.
Just as Izumi Masako was getting anxious, thinking that Su Ruojin still wouldn't agree, she heard Su Ruojin say, "Minister Odai, would you mind if we talked alone?"
Masako Izumi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as being able to talk to him alone meant there was room for negotiation.
"Of course it is possible."
This is not the shogunate; the status of the Imperial Palace makes ordinary servants dare not disobey her orders.
The two entered a room, and before Izumi Masako could exchange a few pleasantries, Su Ruojin spoke directly:
