Chapter 132 - Declarations of sovereignty

It was clearly a summer night, but even after covering it with a blanket, he still felt cold.

The night passed, and on the second day, Yun Qin stayed in her room. Qing Yao accompanied her early in the morning, and seeing that Yun Qin was in pain, she brought Xiao Hei over to her.

The subordinate s served breakfast. Yun Qin scratched her chin and reminded her: "Eat your breakfast first."

When she said that, she was about to carry Xiao Hei, but Yun Qin reacted by reaching out her hands to stop her. She held Xiao Hei tightly, and there was a trace of depression in his voice: "I don't have an appetite."

In a blink of an eye, it was already noon. Silk Cloth Pavilion, Gu Qingmeng fanned himself and walked into the shop. Today, three Manager s have come to look for me. She has already arranged to meet with the Manager s of the clothing stores, so why is it that no one is around at noon? "

"I don't know either. Yesterday, Manager Yun still said that he would be early today, but there's no news of him right now. Could something have happened?" The steward Chen guessed worriedly.

Gu Qingmeng frowned. "I'll go to Prince Mansion to take a look, you go meet with the Manager at the Spring Festival Restaurant and the clothing shop, I'll send them off first."

After that, he went out to the carriage and instructed the coachman to go to Prince Mansion.

Gu Qingmeng went straight to the Hearing Snow Pavilion, and just as he went outside the door, he heard two purple-clothed maidservants discussing.

"Tell me, once Miss Situ becomes the secondary wife, will the Duke still spoil our Princess?"

"With three wives and four concubines, as long as it's a man, there's no exception, let alone a person like the Prince. Our Princess has a simple personality, can we beat her? I'm guessing that your highness wouldn't put all his heart into fighting her, furthermore, Princess has been married into the Prince Mansion for half a year already, and has yet to come out of it, if you want to obtain the favor of others, it's very hard! " Another maid sighed.

"What are you talking about? Ye Han wants to marry Situ Yuanwan? " Gu Qingmeng could not bear to listen any longer, so he called out to them from behind.

The two maidservants turned around in panic, talking behind their backs in frustration. If this were to reach the ears of the prince, would their lives be better in the future?

"Yes, the Emperor issued the imperial edict for the bestowment of marriage yesterday." A servant girl replied, begging, "I hope that Gongzi Gu will not speak of what the servants just said.

Gu Qingmeng's mind was filled with thoughts of Ye Han marrying Situ Yuanwan. He looked at the entrance of the Snow Listening Pavilion and asked: "How is your Princess?"

The two servants shook their heads. What was so good about that? Princess had not eaten since she came back last night.

Gu Qingmeng clenched the fan in his hand, flicked his sleeves, and left.

When he arrived at Windward Garden's study, without waiting for subordinate to pass on his message to Gu Qingmeng, he barged in. When he didn't see Ye Han, he angrily asked subordinate who was at the side, "Where is your Prince?"

The subordinate was scared stiff by Gu Qingmeng's tone and stammered in reply: "Yes, in the room."

Gu Qingmeng turned and walked out of the study, towards the main house. When he opened the door, he saw Ye Han practicing inverted standing, and when he saw him, he immediately stood up.

"Old Han, I heard that you want to welcome Situ Yuanwan to the sect?" Gu Qingmeng asked.

Ye Han replied with a "En". Looking at him, it looked like he was here to denounce Ye Han, his gaze was deep, making it hard for people to explain themselves.

"What exactly do you think? She, a Princess from a foreign country, has come here. If you don't treat her well and marry another, what are you thinking? What's so good about Situ Yuanwan? But just after staying in your Prince Mansion for a few years, I told you before not to keep her by your side. Is this what you should do for Yun Qin? " Gu Qingmeng fumed with rage as he tried to complete his plan in one breath.

Ye Han slowly opened his mouth, and scrutinized: "What identity do you have to ask me?"

Gu Qingmeng was startled for a moment, and then replied: "Of course it's your two good brothers."

"Since we're good brothers, then shut up and listen to me." Ye Han said while looking at him.

Seeing that there was something else, Gu Qingmeng indicated for him to say.

"I went to handle the famine. On the way, I was ambushed, and then I was saved by someone. I found out that the person who assassinated me was related to the right Deputy Imperial Censor Wen Rui, and this right Deputy Imperial Censor is my royal father's trusted aide." His eyes were calm, and the oculi could not detect any emotion when she said those words.

"You mean that the Emperor wants to harm you?" Gu Qingmeng clenched the fan in his hands tightly, but he was not surprised at all. People in the royal family were always like this, they always said that tigers don't eat poison, but ever since the ancient times, there have been countless king level entities that guard against wolves. Furthermore, as a regent, Ye Han held great authority and the help of the Shen Family, it was only right for the Emperor to fear him.

Only, he did not expect that the fact that he doted on Ye Han in the past was just an illusion.

Indeed, ever since the ancient emperor was so cold-blooded, he didn't even acknowledge his own son when they turned hostile.

"Are you worried that the emperor will turn on the people around you instead?" Gu Qingmeng guessed, and the anger he felt just now immediately disappeared. He never thought that Ye Han would put in so much effort to speak for Yun Qin's sake.

Ye Han nodded.

"Since that's the case, why not do the opposite? Whatever you do, I will support you. I can provide you with food and weapons, the medicinal material brothers!" Gu Qingmeng supported him.

Ye Han was silent, if he was going to rebel, it would definitely be a fierce battle, there was no need to destroy the world and adding on to that, the last wish of his mother …

"It hasn't reached that stage yet." Ye Han said.

Seeing that he was not willing, Gu Qingmeng did not try to persuade him, and only said that he would give him his full support no matter what he wanted to do.

"I don't care what you plan to do, don't hurt Yun Qin's heart." he reminded her, without a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Ye Han looked up, met his resolute gaze, and lightly opened his mouth: "What do you mean?"

"That's what it means." "The second time I met Yun Qin, I liked her. At that time, I didn't know that you two were already engaged, and I originally wanted to welcome her into the sect, but later on, I found out that she was already your Princess. Afterwards, I hoped that you two could live together forever, but if you let her down, I definitely wouldn't retreat, even if it was my best brother."

His eyes were determined, his tone serious.

Ye Han lightly snorted: "She's mine, she's a part of my. Even if she dies, she's my ghost, so don't try to trick her. Right now, since I'm keeping her away from me and marrying Situ Yuanwan, it's only a plan. Once I've settled those matters, I'll bring her to find a place to hide. "

"I hope you'll keep your word." Gu Qingmeng smiled in relief, and said, "Then what are you prepared to do about the emperor?"

"With this duke's military power, even if the royal father intends to weaken it, he would not dare to act rashly." Ye Han said with certainty.

Gu Qingmeng also understood this logic, and reminded him: "When you need me, just ask me."

Hearing Snow Pavilion, Yun Qin wanted to walk alone. However, in order to let her relax, Qing Yao and Yu Er did not follow her.

Yun Qin left the Hearing Snow Pavilion and walked along the garden until she arrived at the lakeside. The lotus flowers had long withered, and only the water lotus was green and swaying in the wind. However, on the other side of the lake, stood a person she did not want to see.
