Chapter 71 - Only the Emperor and not the Father

"No, I won't allow it."

The Emperor naturally refused.

A son can take the daughter of a minister to consolidate the land.

How could a small village girl be worthy of his prince?

Would he still want to talk about his old face?

When he thought of this, the rage in his heart burned even hotter.

"She has saved me before, so I have already given her the jade. In this life, I will marry her."

After saying that, Murong Yu once again knelt down, and kowtowed to the emperor, "I ask for royal father's permission."

He knew that the Emperor actually had no problem with whom he married.

After all, he still had so many brothers. Whoever helped him marry the daughter of a subject he wanted to use was fine.

The more he had, the more he would have.

Besides, he had been battling in the battlefield all these years, and he had accumulated countless meritorious military exploits.

In the eyes of the people of the country, this was joy.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, perhaps he had already achieved great merits.

The current him, marrying the daughter of a minister, was much more comforting to the Emperor than marrying a village girl.

Yes, his royal father had never stayed in his father's position.

To him, he was only an emperor, not a father.

To speak to him, one had to always remember what to say and what not to say.

He even had to think over and over again about the meaning behind his words.

Because if he was careless, it could very possibly take his life.

As expected, the emperor only pretended to be angry and scolded him.

When Murong Yu repeatedly said that he really only wanted to marry that person …

Only then did he feign helplessness as he said, "Look at your little ability, you were actually taken by a wild girl?"

"I ask for royal father's consent."

Murong Yu kowtowed once again, his attitude sincere.

The current him looked like a little kid that had just started out in love, and he was able to disregard life and death for the one he loved.

This was also what the Emperor wanted to see, what he looked like.

Because they were too shrewd and didn't have any weaknesses, it was very difficult for the Emperor to control them.

In the past, Murong Yu belonged to this category, so he made the emperor apprehensive.

However, today was the day where the rain could pass.

The emperor's gaze towards Murong Yu gradually darkened, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if he really took a fancy to a village woman, that would save him a lot of effort, and would also let the crown prince feel at ease.

Amongst his sons, only the crown prince and Murong Yu looked good.

The rest of them were all stupid. If it were not for the lack of rations, he would have already mercilessly killed those that were useless, saving a lot of expenses.

Previously, the Emperor had thought that Murong Yu would definitely not be satisfied.

After all, in terms of ability and status, he was superior to the crown prince.

If it was the Emperor himself, he wouldn't be willing to submit.

But perhaps the alarm could be lifted now.

Thinking about that, the Emperor regained his composure and looked at Murong Yu.

"Forget it, next time bring him into the palace. Let me take a look and let your mother have a look. I'll grant you that if his character and looks are good enough."

Although the emperor's expression was still very cold, his tone was slightly better than before.

This proved that Murong Yu's guess was right.

To the Emperor, marrying a village girl was the best way to rest at ease.

Therefore, in regards to him and Mo Xiyan, it could be considered as a success.

Although the arranged marriage was still a distance away, it was still a preventive measure for the Emperor. If he were to lure her into the palace in the future, it would then be perfectly justified.

After the Emperor told him to stand up, he spoke to him for a while before letting Murong Yu leave.

He stood up and saluted before slowly exiting the hall.

The Emperor watched him leave the entire time, and only when his figure had completely vanished from the entrance did he speak softly.

"Do you think what he said is true?"

Beside him stood Chief Eunuch You Ping. He had followed the emperor for more than forty years, ever since he was a prince.

However, in the entire world, he was the only one who had a thorough understanding of the Emperor's temperament.

"Your servant truly saw it with his own eyes. His Royal Highness isn't lying."

You Ping bowed and said.

The Emperor would ask him this because he had a very good ability.

It was to judge whether a person was lying or telling the truth by the way they spoke and the way they looked when they spoke.

For decades, there had never been a single mistake.

So the Emperor trusted him.

"In that case, I can feel at ease with him." The emperor sighed softly as he leaned back in the dragon throne. "Do you think This Emperor cares too much about him?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that I will understand you only for the sake of the Rivers and Mountains Society." You Ping's words, one sentence after another, reached the emperor's heart.

All the guilt in his heart was swept away.

Yes, he was human after all, and his heart was fleshy as well.

He naturally knew just how harsh he had been treating Murong Yu for a long time.

However, perhaps no one else knew that in his heart, the only person he trusted was precisely the Murong Yu who was suppressed by him to such an extent.

Sigh, in the end, he still owed him too much. After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, let the Crown Prince find a way out for him.

On the way out of the palace, Murong Yu bumped into his four brothers one after another.

They greeted him affectionately and called him their royal brother.

However, although they had smiles on their faces, there wasn't a trace of a smile in their eyes.

Murong Yu saw everything clearly, and his heart was as clear as a mirror. Naturally, he did not give them any chance to speak.

If he spoke, he might even make the Emperor think that he was forming a clique.

If he was found guilty of this crime, then his life could be considered ruined.

After bidding farewell to his brothers, he smoothly left the palace.

Not far from the palace gate, Lu Lei was sitting on a horse, waiting for him.

After seeing him step out of the palace gate, Lu Lei hurriedly jumped off the carriage and walked towards Murong Yu while leading his horse.

"Your Royal Highness, you've finally come out."

Everyone knew how harsh the emperor was towards his master.

Every time he entered the palace, the emperor would pick a fight with him. He would either give Murong Yu a brainwashing bell or beat him up a dozen times, letting him have a 'long memory'.

As time passed, Murong Yu's subordinates began to have symptoms of entering the palace.

The moment Murong Yu stepped into the palace gate, the people outside started to become uneasy.

If he had to say it, instead of staying in the capital, he would be wasting his time with these hypocritical and disgusting people.

It would be better to return to the border and have a good fight with the enemies.

Murong Yu swept his cold gaze across Lu Lei and allowed him to successfully silence and lead the two horses, following behind his master.

"Is there any news about that?"

After the two walked for a while, Murong Yu suddenly asked without looking around.

Lu Lei was slightly startled, and only after responding for a long time did he come to understand what exactly it was that Murong Yu had asked.

"Yes."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and walked in front of him. With a voice that only two people could hear, he continued, "Miss Mo was indeed kicked out of the residence by the Prime Minister. I heard that she offended the Madame Prime Minister …"
