Exclusive Love from the Arrogant Prince - C65
Chapter 65 – Conditions of exchange
The head of the hospital brought five or six imperial physicians into the Ling Mansion.
Meanwhile, the news of the Prince Ling rushing into the palace at night and causing a ruckus in the harem had already spread throughout the capital that night.
In the morning of the second day, the entire capital was in an uproar. From the court officials to the commoners, they were all discussing how the empress had severely injured Princess Ling while he was out and insulted him, saying that he was a fool.
And because of this matter, the emperor had stayed with Chu Yi Chen for an entire night. The empress, who had been sitting at the side all this time, had completely shattered her heart into pieces. She had truly seen Chu Yi Chen’s ruthlessness and understood that there was no one in his heart, but the emperor, who had a deadlock on his face, was incredibly happy.
Your Majesty, this king has given you a night’s worth of time. I don’t know how you are going to consider it, but although the imperial family’s stern face is very important, my Darkhan has never shown such respect in the past two hundred years. Even in this world, there hasn’t been such a thing. Chu Yi Chen sat back in her chair and looked at them.
“Young Emperor Uncle, I have no other intentions, but this matter … Although the empress might have been at fault, it couldn’t possibly be because the empress’s actions caused Little Imperial Aunt to be seriously ill … Besides, she was just a fool … “Um, my mind isn’t complete …” The emperor is in such a difficult position, I don’t care how many times he says it.
At this moment, the empress suddenly stood up, and glared at Chu Yi Chen with cold eyes. “You came here to interrogate me just for a fool? Is she really that important!? ”
“Yes!” Since this king has married her, and given her the title of Royal Consort, she will become my family, and she will be your imperial aunt, and will be your senior. To take advantage of this duke’s absence, to bully our family, and even injure her head, this is truly an immense kindness. Even if this duke is useless, even if this king is crippled, as a junior, I should not do this! ” Chu Yi Chen also slapped his chair and stood up.
At this moment, he was more anxious than anyone else. He wanted to immediately return to the residence to check on the situation. Although Zhuo Qingyan had repeatedly promised that nothing would happen, he still couldn’t be at ease.
“Imperial Uncle, don’t be angry. That’s not what the empress meant …” At this time, the Emperor was somewhat afraid. One must know that his uncle’s temper was not ordinary.
Furthermore, when he received the news of Guangping’s death, the first person he suspected was Chu Yi Chen.
“It’s true that she is a fool, but she has a harmless heart. Ever since she entered the palace, she has always been obedient and never caused any trouble for me. She can even bring laughter into my house if she does not take a step outside. Who gave you the right! ” Chu Yi Chen asked sternly.
“I only wanted to teach her the rules so that she wouldn’t lose face for the imperial family. Why not …” The empress was still righteously arguing. She just couldn’t understand why Chu Yi Chen would rather speak up for a fool than soften her tone.
“Of course not. Back then, she was the one you personally picked. How could you not know who she was? If it truly isn’t your turn, then this king will find someone to teach her. What qualifications does a junior like you have to stand in front of her and teach her a lesson? Chu Yi Chen was truly angry.
When the emperor heard this, he also stood up. “Imperial Uncle, please be cautious. This is no small matter …”
Your majesty, don’t say that This King didn’t remind you that this king has the authority to impeach those who do not behave properly in the royal family and are incapable of occupying the position of Emperor. Please don’t forget this, your majesty. Chu Yi Chen asked in a reasonable manner.
When the empress heard this, her eyes went wide. She really hadn’t thought that Chu Yi Chen would be so heartless. She also hadn’t thought that this matter would be so serious.
It was the same for the emperor. When he heard Chu Yi Chen’s words, he panicked. For a moment, he had no more ideas.
Because of his love for Zhuang Hanyun, even though he knew that she only had Chu Yi Chen in her heart, he still loved her. And because of this, when he first married her, he still took the name Chu Yi Chen, saying that he was marrying into the Duke Palace and not the crown prince’s mansion at the time. For all these years, Zhuang Hanyun had always been opposing him, but he had never thought of crippling her.
However, if Chu Yi Chen were to use his power as the supervisor of the sect, the consequences would be severe. Even if he were to fight with all his might, he wouldn’t be able to protect Zhuang Hanyun’s position in the sect. He didn’t dare to think about it.
One must know that in all these years, Zhuang Hanyun had offended many people in the position of Empress, and even if he wanted to take her life, he simply could not guard against it, nor would he be able to protect it.
Zhuang Hanyun took a trembling step forward, “Chu Yi Chen, you really hate me that much …”
Chu Yi Chen didn’t say anything, and turned his head to the side. He didn’t even want to look at her.
The emperor reached out and grabbed her wrist. “Hanyun, with me here, this won’t happen. I promise you!”
When Chu Yi Chen heard this, he turned his head and looked indifferently at the emperor.
The emperor took a deep breath and slightly nodded his head, “Royal Uncle, I beg you, this matter cannot be made public. If the empress is in the wrong, I will make it up to you. If I agree to your previous request and set the five counties and four continents as your fiefdom, I wonder if you can suppress the matter of the imperial aunt and let the empress go?”
Chu Yi Chen coldly snorted, “Your majesty, do you want to use this as a condition to exchange? For this king to spare Zhuang Hanyun? ”
“Yes sir!” The emperor said firmly.
“Good!” Since the emperor is so sincere, this king is still willing to become a beauty. Back then, I could, and now, I could as well, but your majesty, I must let her know that this king is very unwilling to compromise. It’s best if there is no next time, or else, this king will really not guarantee it. Chu Yi Chen looked at the emperor arrogantly.
At this time, Zhuang Hanyun was already sitting on the chair she was sitting on. Her face was deathly pale and her eyes were lifeless, but two clear tears still flowed down her face. At this moment, her heart was in so much pain that she couldn’t breathe.
The pain wasn’t because of Chu Yi Chen’s heartlessness, but because of the emperor’s actions. This was something she had never imagined. Only now did she know who she was carrying the burden of, and who loved her the most!
