Chapter 116 - Clear Water Assassination Failed

Yun Qin's face flushed red, she looked around, meeting Situ Yuanwan's strange gaze, she pinched Ye Han under the table: "So many people watching us."

Ye Han slightly curled his lips, and moved in front of Yun Qin. "Who would dare to say half a word when this duke drinks my own Princess's wine?"

After he finished speaking, he was about to take the wine bottle from Yun Qin's hands when Yun Qin dodged her question, "Don't you have one? "Besides, mine is fruit wine, don't you always dislike it?"

"This King loves to drink yours." Ye Han said as he snatched Yun Qin's cup of wine and took another sip.

Suddenly, Ye Han was called out by the Emperor. He stood up with slight suspicion and cupped his hands. "Royal father."

Situ Yuanwan also stood up, ready to kowtow in gratitude. Ye Han did not understand why the emperor suddenly bestowed him a marriage. He subconsciously looked at Yun Qin and saw her minding her own business as she drank her wine, as if she had not heard him.

Without waiting for Ye Han to speak, the emperor threw the question at Yun Qin, "Yun Qin, what do you think?"

Yun Qin tried her best to suppress her anger, cursing in her heart who set this tradition of being three wives and four concubines. She didn't want to share a husband with others!

But in front of so many people, she knew that if she disagreed with the spread of the banquet today, she might become a woman that everyone in people despised. The Emperor intentionally threw this question to her because he knew that she could not reject, and wanted to use her mouth to make Ye Han not have any reason to reject her.

She slightly pursed her lips, "At home, it's always the prince who makes decisions. It doesn't matter if I marry him or not."

The Emperor chuckled and looked towards Ye Han.

Ye Han's smile had disappeared, and he cupped his hands together as he said in a deep voice: "royal father, childrens only has one person, and as for Aster, childrens has considered that it is not appropriate to stay in Prince Mansion until she reaches the age of marriage, because if any Lord has a suitable Gongzi, we can arrange a match."

With that, he sat down without waiting for the emperor to speak.

Situ Yuanwan's face turned ugly, she never thought that she would actually be refused to marry in front of everyone. She gripped the hand hidden in her sleeve tightly, the humiliation today was all brought to her by Yun Qin, she was the one who bewitched the emperor's mind.

It was hard for the emperor to hide his anger. Ye Han rejecting the marriage in public undoubtedly meant that he did not put, the royal father, in his eyes.

"Nonsense, how can a prince marry only one person? Don't tell me you want people to think that the is jealous? " He lowered his voice in accountability.

Ye Han insisted on his original intention, "childrens doesn't care what people is like, as long as childrens is willing to do you the best."

Yun Qin was moved in her heart, she lowered her head and drank the fruit wine without saying a word.

The emperor looked at the two of them, he knew that it was unlikely for Ye Han to agree right now. He held his wine bottle tightly, wanting to say more, but Ye Qun stood up and gave him a toast.

Seeing his most satisfied son, the anger in the Emperor's heart subsided a bit. Ye Qun spoke up for Ye Han: "royal father, no wonder Third Brother, royal sister-in-law is intelligent, kind, righteous, and talented. If you were in childrens, it would be enough to get him alone, so, please be happy and angry."

When Ye Qun's words came out, all the ministers present were dumbfounded. The Princess actually made the Fifth Prince give such a high evaluation, it looked like she was indeed a good woman.

Even the emperor was startled by his son's words. He coughed and said, "I'll give Han-Er some time to consider. We'll discuss this later."

Chen Fei's expression changed and the indifference in her eyes disappeared. Seeing her own son looking at Yun Qin with such a gentle smile, she couldn't help but think back to when he was severely ill and had come to the palace to plead for Yun Qin. Did he change his mind about the Princess?

Ye Yi fanned the flames at the side, and spoke with a sarcastic tone: "Didn't Third Brother listen to royal father the most in the past, and now, you're just taking in a concubine, and that's already disobeying royal father's wishes. In my opinion, it seems like Third Brother is even more disregarding royal father now."

"Crown Prince, you can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want." Yun Qin frowned. Originally, she was elated from being praised by Ye Qun in front of everyone, but her good mood was completely ruined by Ye Yi. She wanted to beat him up when she saw his face, but since the emperor was here, she didn't dare.

Although the Emperor was dissatisfied, he still helped Ye Han. "Yi'er, speak less and no one will treat you as a mute."

Ye Yi was slightly angry, but he did not dare say anything, and could only obediently close his mouth.

Although the fruit wine in front of Yun Qin was not intoxicating, to someone who did not know how to drink, it was still rather intoxicating. Ye Han took the wine pot away from her, and had the palace maids take it away.

Yun Qin was dissatisfied: "What are you doing?"

"You've had enough." Ye Han looked at her and saw her blushing red face. He raised his hand to pinch her face.

Consort Chen suddenly raised her goblet and said, "Princess Banquet, let me toast you."

Yun Qin blinked her eyes. The wine had been taken away by Ye Han and she could only use tea in place of wine. Although she didn't like Chen Fei, she had to give her face.

"Thank you, Esteemed Empress Chen." Yun Qin was a little drunk. When she looked at Chen Fei, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of an aunt behind her, causing her expression to change. Even though her face was covered by a veil, the look in her eyes was hard to forget.

It's her!

Yun Qin sat down nervously. Why was she here? Her intentions were obvious.

"What's wrong?" Realizing that something was wrong with Yun Qin, Ye Han asked with concern.

Yun Qin tightly clenched her hands. At this moment, how could he save her?

Before she could think of a way, Aunt Clear Water had already revealed the dagger under the tray and stabbed fiercely at Chen Fei. At that moment, the palace maid beside Chen Fei cried out for the Assassin to block the attack for her.

The Emperor stood up and ran down to grab the dagger in Qing Shui's hand. His eyes were brimming with anger as he said, "Capture the Assassin."

At this moment, the banquet was in chaos. The imperial guards quickly rushed over and grabbed some clear water.

The Emperor held Chen Fei in his arms and had someone remove the veil of clear water. Her face was already ruined as he coldly asked, "Speak, who sent you?"

"Your Majesty, don't you know the old slave? It's the old slave, the old slave has come to take your life. " Clear Water threw her head back and laughed. Her face and throat had been destroyed, so how could they tell who she was?

"Chen Fei, you heartless slut! You will die a horrible death! " Shui Shui scolded with a crazed look in his eyes.

Yun Qin watched on with trepidation as she tightly held onto Ye Han's clothes, feeling a moment of fear.

There were many ways to exact vengeance. Why did she choose this one?

With that, she let out a smile of relief and fell to the ground.
