Chapter 421

~ PRESUMPTUOUS! ~

Seeing the smile on Grand Princess Yi De’s face, the Emperor couldn’t bear to refuse. “That’s fine too. After dealing with the current situation, I’ll have someone go to the overseer of the Imperial Court and tell him to find a good day personally.”

The smile on Grand Princess Yi De’s face intensified. “Alright, this matter is of great importance. The Imperial Court is currently discussing this matter internally and externally, so we must handle this matter with caution.”

“It just so happens that Imperial Elder Sister is here. You also can sit and listen. After settling the matters here, I will accompany Imperial Elder Sister to Yuhua Palace for dinner. How about it?”

“Sure.”

“Where did you guys say just now? Go on.”

Yue w.a.n.g opened his mouth to report: “Imperial Father, the Third Imperial Brother, said that this son was reckless and should wait for the archers to attack Miss Su and Miss Mu before killing them. This son disagree with that.”

Jin w.a.n.g’s expression changed. The Grand Princess Yi De had just mentioned that she wanted to acknowledge Mu Yunyao as her granddaughter. Now that Yue w.a.n.g had said those words, wouldn’t he be offending the Grand Princess? Since when did this taciturn Fourth Imperial Brother become an eyewitness?

“Father, This son definitely does not have that intention.”

“Well..” The Emperor was a bit impatient, “Lending the archers to the Su family is already exceptionally against the rules. Those people standing by the side with bows and arrows in their hands might seem like a threat in name, but in reality, who can tell if they will actually make a move? It was also reasonable for Junyue to order his men to kill them. There’s no need to keep pestering with this point.”

“Yes.” In the past, Imperial Father had always been remarkablydisdainful and indifferent towards Yue w.a.n.g. As long as he provoked him a little, Imperial Father would not question him about the reason at all and would directly order a punishment on him. But this time, he has actually helped him speak up. Could it be that the Grand Princess Yi De had secretly intervened for him?

The Emperor thought for a moment, then looked at Shen Binghuai, “Just now, I saw the case file you submitted, and it was quite clear. It is to be dealt with in accordance with the law, that is, stripping Lady Meng of her t.i.tle as Eldest Lady. As for Su Wenyuan....”

Before the Emperor could finish his words, a loud noise came from the door.

“Imperial Father, I am Huaiyang. You let me in. I want request to see Imperial Father.”

“What’s going on?”

Xu Li hurriedly went to the door and checked, then he entered and reported, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess requests an audience.”

“What is she doing here at this time? Let her go!”

At this time, the Sixth Princess had rushed in and felled to her knees with a plop. She then kowtowed to the Emperor and said, “Father, Lord Su is the Imperial Court official and has been working diligently for many years. Although this matter has been a bit inappropriate, the starting point was because he is worried about the Old Madam of the Su family. Moreover, Su Qing and Mu Yunyao were going to leave the Su family regardless of the serious illness of the old lady. This is not what a younger generation should do. Please, the Imperial Father, see this as a filial piety and give him a light punishment.”

“Huaiyang, you don’t have the right to speak here. Hurry up and leave!”

“Imperial Father, your daughter likes Su Qingwu. In this life, I will not marry anyone but him. Your daughter will enter the Su family in the future. You have severely punished Lord Su now, and how should your daughter deal with herself in the future?”

“Presumptuous!” The Emperor was furious. “Huai Yang, it seems like I have spoiled you so much that you don’t know what The importance of your words. You are my daughter, the princess of this dynasty. Is this what you should say?”

“Imperial Father, your daughter knows what she’s saying, and she also knows that these words are extremely shameless in the eyes of outsiders. But your daughter has taken a fancy to Su Qingwu and wants to marry him. If I can’t get what I want, then I’ll shave my head and become a nun. I’ll never marry anyone in my life!”

“How dare you! I think you are crazy!”

“Imperial Father, Su Qingwu is still your personal first rank Imperial Guard. He is still so young and ranked first amongst the young masters of various families in the Capital. It can be said that his future is unlimited. Both his ident.i.ty and ability are worthy of your daughter. You can agree to let Fourth Imperial Brother like Mu Yunyao, a poor and humble person. Why can’t you allow me to marry Su Qingwu?”

Now you keep saying that you want to marry Su Qingwu. But even if you change your mind in the future, no son of any family in the entire Dali Dynasty will dare to marry you again. Have you thought about it?”

“Imperial Aunt, I’ve already made up my mind. In this life, I’m not going to marry anyone except Su Qingwu.”

“Did you know that Su Qingwu was engaged to Zhang Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Great Scholar’s residence? Currently, Zhang Wan has yet to recover from her severe injuries. If he were to destroy the marriage contract and instead marry you, that would be infidelity. If he really as good as you say, then he would definitely not agree to marry you. But you’ve said what you’re going to do. So how can he deal with this in the future?”

“Zhang Wan is very ill, Imperial Aunt. Furthermore, the doctor has diagnosed that her abdomen is injured, so we should also talk about whether she can have children in the future. I heard that she would go to the Su family to annul the engagement in the next two days. She took the initiative to give up her engagement, which has nothing to do with Qingwu.”

The Grand Princess Yi De chuckled softly, her phoenix eyes shining with indifference. “It seems like you’ve already planned everything out.”

“Yes, that’s why I’m asking for Imerial Father and Imperial Aunt’s consent.” Grand Princess Yi De held a great deal of importance in the heart of her father. As long as she said a good word or two, this matter might be settled.

“What if your Imperial Father doesn’t allow you to do so? What sort of situation can you reach for Su Qingwu?”

The Sixth Princess gritted her teeth. “If Imperial Father disagree, then I’ll just kneel here and not get up. If I can’t marry Su Qingwu, then there’s no meaning in me living any longer. I might as well just kneel here and die.”

The Emperor’s rage flared up. “Are you threatening me?”

“Imperial Father, how could your daughter dare to threaten you? Your daughter truly likes Su Qingwu, and that day at the hunting grounds, he rescued me from a wolf’s mouth, my clothes were destroyed, and I already had a physical relationship with him. If you disagree, then your daughter will never marry anyone else in her entire life.”

“You … You vile sp.a.w.n, you’re the dignified Sixth Princess, my favorite daughter, yet you have no sense of shame. You’re really angering me to death....”

The Grand Princess Yi De retracted her gaze, sighed, and said, “They say the children are debts owed by their parents in their previous lives. Imperial Brother, don’t be angry. Huaiyang is unwavering in her determination to follow Su Qingwu. In that case, let her be fulfilled.”

The Six Princesses were overjoyed as she raised her head to look at the Emperor in antic.i.p.ation, “Imperial father, your daughter is begging you. Please promise me.”

The Emperor let out a sigh. “With how things are, even if I don’t want you to marry Su Qingwu, there’s nothing that can be done. In addition, with Imperial Elder Sister’s persuasion, I’ll grant you your wish. I just hope you don’t regret it in the future.”

“Your daughter will definitely not regret it. Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Imperial Father.”

Su Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief with a trace of happiness. As long as the Emperor was relieved, then the Su family would be saved. After all, they had to give a face to the Sixth Princess. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law should not be punished as soon as she married.
