Chapter 101 - Growing Divide
The emperor's love for Ye Han was so deep that it even needed to endanger his throne, right?
However, since ancient times, there have been many who had a feud with their sons in order to consolidate the throne.
"Your Majesty, this old subject's words are true." He bit his thick lips, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Do you think I will choose to believe you instead of my own son?" The Emperor's eyes emitted a cold light. He only gave a light snort, but his back was still cold from fright. He couldn't help but shiver.
No longer listening to the nonsense, the Emperor opened his mouth and said, "Men, how can you slander the Regent and instigate the relationship between us and our son, now demeaning us as civilians, exiled us from the borders. Drag him away! "
How could his old eyes widen? He had never thought that after accompanying a sovereign for so many years, he would be punished just like that. Indeed, accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger!
Two imperial guards came forward to drag him away. Why were they struggling to shout, "Your majesty, your majesty, the emperor is merciful!"
The imperial guards stole a glance at the emperor's expression and saw that he didn't waver in the slightest, so why did he drag out his pleading?
The emperor propped up his forehead and gave Housekeeper Liu a look. Manager Liu nodded and walked down to pick up all the evidence he'd just handed over, bowing as he handed it over to the emperor.
After he saw the evidence, he angrily threw it on the stage and cast his eyes towards Manager Liu: "Manager Liu, what do you think?"
Manager Liu trembled, he lowered his head, trembling as he replied: "old slave does not dare to presume to guess the divine will."
"I'll let you say it." His voice was low.
Steward Liu swallowed his saliva. Having served by the emperor's side for so many years, he naturally knew what the emperor liked to hear. Which emperor would be willing to hear someone mention before him that someone wanted to usurp his position, and that the usurper was his own son? It was the best proof of how he was demoted just now.
There was some sweat on his forehead as he spoke while trembling, "old slave thought that the Third Marquis would not do something like this. The Emperor dotes on the Three Kings, he definitely wouldn't do something that would let you down."
Although the love was not in the least bit real … Director Liu silently added in his heart.
The emperor let out a cold snort, scaring Steward Liu into another shock. He only heard that the emperor's tone was complicated, neither happy nor angry. "You know him quite well."
"This servant doesn't dare." Manager Liu replied with a trembling voice.
The emperor snorted coldly and adjusted his sleeves. "Use the Palace of Precious Phoenix."
"Chirp." "Yes, sir."
The news of him being exiled out of the quickly spread throughout the court. Even the ministers of the court did not know what had happened, other than the son of the oriental palace and the son of the Marquis Mansion of Ning Country.
"Idiot." Ye Yi was furious, he kicked the square stool on the ground, he never thought that he would be so reckless.
"Calm down Crown Prince." Su Zhan's voice was calm, as though he had already expected this would happen.
"I told you to get close to Gu Qingmeng, what exactly is his attitude?" Ye Yi frowned, if he was an enemy and not a friend, then there was no need to blame him for being rude.
"Gu Qingmeng did not reject, nor did he agree, he seems to only be hanging over us." Su Zhan said indifferently.
Ye Yi's eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness: "If that's the case, then we don't need to be courteous to him."
As night fell, and the moon was already half-full, and the sky was filled with stars, the wind blew over with a dry heat, causing Situ Yuanwan to slowly walk out of Ye Han's study.
The study room was brightly lit. Situ Yuanwan asked the subordinate outside the door: "Is the prince inside?"
subordinate nodded and passed on the message: "Prince, Miss Situ requests an audience."
Ye Han rubbed his exhausted brow, put down the brush, and said with a lazy tone: "Come in."
Situ Yuanwan indicated for Fu Er to stay outside, she brought her food box and walked in, then bowed to Ye Han: "Wan Er has brought a bowl of steamed cake, let your highness taste it."
Ye Han's lips slightly moved: "This king has already eaten, you can keep it for yourself."
There was a sense of loss in her eyes, and her tone was low: "My prince, Wan Er used to cook for you, but now, you refuse to eat what Wan Er has cooked, do you still have a misunderstanding about Wan Er?"
"Wan Er, this is different from the past. I already have a family, it's not appropriate for me to eat the things you cook." He could only hope that she would understand his intentions and let go of this matter as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, is this all for the Princess?" Her eyes glimmered with tears, as she lightly tugged at the corner of her lips, "Wan Er knows, that the Prince would now wholeheartedly focus on her, how could he care about Wan Er's thoughts, the promise from back then is already gone, the Prince will not treat Wan Er as he did before."
She pretended to be wronged, but her heart was full of resentment.
It's all because of that slut Yun Qin. If she were to step in between them, she definitely wouldn't let it go just like that! She had to think of a way to take the prince back.
She walked to Ye Han's side and sobbed, "Your Highness, did Wan Er do something wrong? Don't treat Wan Er like that. In this world, Wan Er only has you now, your only family member, and if even you don't want Wan Er, Wan Er might as well die. "
She threatened her death with Ye Han's brow creasing his brow: "If you don't treasure your own life, don't tell me you want this king to replace you?"
When these words came out, Situ Yuanwan lowered her head in guilt, "Wan Er knows her wrongs."
Ye Han sighed, if he continued like this, he would not be able to do anything, she was by his side, the only thing he could see was himself, if he allowed her to interact more with the man in the capital, maybe she would change his mind.
"It's already late, you can go back first." Ye Han spoke, but his tone was extremely indifferent.
Situ Yuanwan raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes revealed undisguised sadness. Ye Han was no longer like before to her.
And all of this, was because of Yun Qin.
"I want to accompany you more." Her tone was even more humble, like she was begging for it.
"Wan Er, I already have a family, it's not appropriate for me to stay in a room alone like this." Ye Han said in a low voice, with a determined attitude.
Then, Yun Qin pushed open the door and entered with Xiao Hei in his arms.
Situ Yuanwan looked up, and a hint of hatred flashed past the oculi when she looked at her. Yun Qin walked past her, and when she saw the box of food on the table, she smiled slightly and said in her heart: I came to send you off again for the midnight snack.
In front of Ye Han, how could she possibly refuse? He smiled lightly, and said naturally: "Please have a try Princess, I just don't know if my master will be satisfied with your cooking."
Yun Qin scooped a spoonful of the steamed cake, it was sweet and not greasy at all.
With Yun Qin here, it would not be good for Situ Yuanwan to stay. She replied tactfully: "Wan Er will be going back first, if Princess likes it, Wan Er can do it again."
"Thank you." Yun Qin squinted her eyes, wasn't it for Ye Han that she dared to eat? What if you put some poison in it...
