Chapter 81 - Surprise without danger
Yun Qin's eyes lit up, she walked to the side of the door and looked outside in anticipation.
He saluted in a neither humble nor haughty manner. Chen Kou walked in from outside, walked up to his side and whispered a few words in a low voice before Su Zhan cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty has already made the decision, Su Zhan will take his leave first."
Su Zhan waved his sleeves and left, and Chen Kou followed along.
"Crown Prince, Princess didn't eat those dishes. It's as if the emperor is blaming you …" Chen Kou lowered his voice and said.
Su Zhan raised his eyelids slightly, his lips curled as he said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, let's go to the Imperial Palace to report now."
Ye Han was slightly unhappy, he walked to Yun Qin's side and asked: "Why is he here?" He glanced at the dishes and broken bowls on the floor before retracting his gaze.
"The Emperor sent them." Yun Qin replied. She didn't want to talk about Su Zhan, so she raised his hand and pulled his sleeve as she asked curiously. "How did you convince the emperor to let me out?"
"When I told Wen Le to treat my fifth brother, royal father agreed to release him. However, royal father said that death penalty can be waived, but there's no way to avoid it. You will be sentenced to five days' imprisonment." Ye Han passed on the emperor's words to her.
Yun Qin exclaimed, but when she thought about it again, she felt much more comfortable being locked in Prince Mansion than in jail. After this matter, Yun Qin secretly swore in her heart that he would never provoke the Emperor again. This old man was too ruthless and temperamental, she could not afford to offend him.
On the way back to Prince Mansion, the sky was full of stars, the light shone onto the ground, and the surroundings became so quiet that only the sounds of rolling carriages could be heard.
At this time, in the imperial courtyard, the emperor was standing on top of the golden palace with his back facing the people who came to report to him. There was no need to ask, he already knew that Yun Qin did not eat the things he gave her.
Because he suspected Yun Qin of knowing something that he shouldn't have known, he let Su Zhan drug Yun Qin in his meal and directly killed him to silence him. He never thought that Ye Han would exhaust herself to find Godly Doctor before nightfall just for this girl. Since Yun Qin didn't need to eat, and since she arrived in time, let's just assume that she was lucky enough to escape this calamity. Maybe it was just him thinking, Yun Qin was just a little girl from Rosa. When Shen Shu Wu died, she still hadn't come, so how could she know about what happened that year?
"Your majesty, Princess is unwilling to eat the things this subject has given you. If this subject has not completed my mission, I ask that Your Majesty punish me." Su Zhan knelt down and clasped his hands together with his head lowered towards the emperor's back.
The emperor slowly turned around and said, "Rise. Let's drop this matter."
"Yes." Su Zhan replied.
A young eunuch quickly entered the hall and cupped his hands towards the emperor, "Your Majesty, Fifth Prince is here."
"This official will take his leave first." Su Zhan said, waiting for the emperor to nod his head and agree, he turned and left the Golden Hall, and when he passed by Ye Qun's side, he nodded slightly.
Ye Qun came to the Golden Hall with an illness and went in to pay his respects to the emperor. Before he even spoke, the emperor had already sent someone to sit down, but there was a tinge of concern in his tone, "Your sickness hasn't improved, why have you come here?"
"Reporting to royal father, this is my old ailment, nothing serious has happened to me, cough cough." Ye Qun said weakly, he coughed slightly as he raised his hand to cover his lips.
There was some wind on the road, and he looked paler than ever.
He slowly spoke with a weak voice but the Eye Color was very resolute, "royal father, childrens's illness has nothing to do with royal sister-in-law. I hope royal father can retract his order and return Silk Cloth Pavilion to royal sister-in-law."
Facing the Emperor's questioning gaze, Ye Qun said indifferently. Other than being sincere, he didn't have any other emotions.
After saying that, he covered his mouth and coughed.
Seeing that, the Emperor's heart ached, and he told him the truth: "Oh you, is there a need to come here with an illness? We have already ordered for Yun Qin to be released, and the Silk Cloth Pavilion has also returned it to her."
After Ye Qun heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief, and then heard the emperor's question, "Qun Er, now that you are at the age to marry and have your own children, your mother and I will discuss about finding a marriage for you. I wonder which family's daughter is worthy of my Qun Er, and that must be the best woman in the entire capital. "
The emperor gazed at him lovingly. Ye Qun got up, and weakly cupped his hands in reply: "royal father, childrens is sick now, so I don't want to think about it. childrens wants to marry the person he likes."
"Alright, we'll discuss this after you recover from your illness." He was not by his side since he was young, and he did not take good care of. Now that Ye Qun had returned, as the royal father, he naturally would do his best to compensate him.
Prince Mansion, Qing Yao was anxiously walking around in the front hall. Seeing Wen Le sitting on a chair, stepping on a chair to pour wine into his mouth, his movements were very relaxed, she walked over and punched him in the face: "Are you still in the mood to drink here?
Wen Le was so scared by her sudden punch that he almost fell off his chair. He covered his face that was hurting and said pitifully: "It's going to be fine, wait a little longer."
"Wait, wait. We've already waited for so long, there's not even a shadow to be seen." Qing Yao who was standing at the door all along saw Yun Qin and Ye Han coming back together, and immediately pointed outside excitedly, signalling Qing Yao, "The Princess and the Duke are back!"
"Where?" Hearing that, Qing Yao ran out the door quickly.
Seeing Yun Qin giving her a bear hug first, Yun Qin was so angry that he could not breathe. She coughed twice and pulled Qing Yao away expressionlessly.
Qing Yao glared back, but there was nothing she wouldn't do. She grabbed Yun Qin's hand and said, "Qin Qin, you must be worried about me."
Yun Qin held her hand back, "It's fine, it's fine."
"I heard that you rushed into the palace and scolded the emperor. You are truly the strongest, the first person in history right?" Qing Yao said excitedly, as if she was the one who was scolding the emperor.
Yun Qin coughed: "Ah, impulsive is the devil, I only said a few truths and I've already been locked in the prison. It seems that in the future, I can only say bad things about him behind his back."
She giggled, and it was as if Ye Han did not hear her say anything. He had his hands behind his back as he looked up at the sparse stars in the sky.
"The emperor is too evil. Let's not mention him anymore." I have something good to tell you. We will have to stay here for a period of time, so we are not in a hurry to return to Cloudfox Mountain. " Originally, she was reluctant to part with Yun Qin like this, but she was really happy to be able to stay for a little longer.
"That's great." Yun Qin said.
"However, it's not good to stay in the Prince Mansion and cause trouble for you guys, so Wen Le and I decided to buy a house nearby." Qing Yao said in delight.
Yun Qin did not feel it was troublesome, so she decided to let them live in the Prince Mansion. She teasingly asked: "As for the Wen Da Godly Doctor, how about two taels of silver a month on time? I think our Great Godly Doctor does not lack this little bit of money. "
