Chapter 147: Old Tricks Repeated
"Princess?" Yin Yue nodded subconsciously, with nothing strange on her face, "Very good, but the princess is a little hungry. This servant is going to the kitchen to get some hot food to fill the princess's stomach."
Huh?
Everyone standing outside the hall was stunned.
Can the bride eat as she pleases before the groom enters the bridal chamber?
Are there no pastries in the new house?
But this is not important. What is important is that Yinyue said that the princess was very good and looked as normal. She did not look like someone in the palace was having a private meeting.
The clan disciples couldn't tell whether they were more disappointed or relieved, but at least their legs were no longer shaking and their heartbeats were not so fast. They glanced at Rong Yu quietly, only to see Rong Yu raising his feet to go up the steps of the palace. Go.
His Majesty the Emperor's lips tightened, his expression dark and unpredictable, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he silently walked towards Zhaochen Hall step by step.
After entering the inner hall, his eyes caught sight of the six maids who were respectfully serving in the outer hall. Rong Chuyun's eyes were delicate and he couldn't help but pause.
When the maids saw the Prince Regent and His Majesty the Emperor, they all knelt down and saluted, with their foreheads on the ground.
The clan members looked at each other in confusion.
With all the maids in the palace here, who dares to suspect that the princess has done something inappropriate in the inner palace? No one would be stupid enough to cuckold his husband in his palace in front of so many pairs of eyes, right?
"Yinshuang." At this moment, a girl's delicate and soft voice sounded from the inner hall, "You have been so cold all day, aren't you worried that you won't be able to find a lover in the future?"
Yin Shuang's tone was cold: "I will protect the princess my whole life and have no plans to get married."
"How can a woman not marry?" Nan Xi disagreed, "I will definitely find you a gentle and considerate husband in the future."
"This slave is a secret guard and cannot get married." Yin Shuang said, "There are not many reliable men in this world, and Yin Shuang doesn't want to be attached to a weak man."
The expressions of the helpless men outside the palace changed slightly: "..."
These days, can even the guards dislike them?
A helpless dog man?
This female guard is so brave, but...
Rong Yu walked towards the inner hall.
When Yin Shuang saw Rong Yu coming in, she saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty."
"Rong Yu?" Nan Xi looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you in front to greet the guests? Why are you back so soon?"
Rong Chuyun stood outside, quietly clenching his hands.
Rong Yu said in a calm tone: "I am afraid that you will be bored by being alone, so come and take a look."
"Boring?" Nan Xi said with a smile, "Fortunately, with Yin Yue and Yin Shuang accompanying me, it's not boring."
Rong Yu said calmly: "Did anyone come here just now?"
"Huh?" Nan Xi was puzzled, "No. Just Yin Yue and Yin Shuang are here, who are you asking about?"
Rong Yu shook his head: "No one."
Yinshuang said: "This slave has never left the princess since she entered the new house. I will not let anyone come and disturb the princess."
Rong Yu hummed, turned around and walked out.
Young members of the royal family have the habit of having a wedding party on their wedding day. Rong Yu is similar in age to them. These princes are of lower seniority, so it would not be against the rules to have a wedding party. But today's scene, even if he is already standing outside the door of the new house, it is unacceptable. People dare to stay and make fun.
They could clearly hear the conversation between Nan Xi and Yin Shuang in the inner palace, and they could also see the six maids standing in the outer palace. Under such circumstances, there must be a secret meeting with their lover to be a ghost.
It was obvious that someone was deliberately trying to create a little something else on this happy day tonight.
Rong Yu came out, and his cold and stern eyes fell on the guard who had tipped off the news. The guard was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot: "My subordinate... I deserve to die. This... this is not what I meant..."
"Spreading rumors and causing trouble will be punished." Rong Chuyun turned around with his hands behind his back and said coldly and angrily, "Come here! Pull him out!"
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, have mercy on me! I don't know anything about my humble position! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me—"
"He is a member of the Prince Regent's Palace. Even if he needs to be dealt with, it will be handled by me, without the Emperor having to worry about it." Rong Yu said indifferently, raising his hand to signal to the palace guards who had already swarmed over, "Remove his chin and take him down."
"yes!"
There was a false alarm, but before Rong Yu could say anything, the clan princes and princes' children all started to excuse themselves.
Before leaving, Rong Chuyun glanced in the direction of the inner palace inadvertently, with a gloomy luster in his eyes, and said calmly: "I won't disturb the emperor's wedding night."
Rong Yu had a cold aura around him, and turned around and returned to the inner hall without looking back.
Yinyue walked in with a plate of meat-filled wontons and happened to catch a glimpse of the emperor leaving. She stood in a dark corner and waited until the emperor had gone far before climbing up the steps and quickly entered the palace.
After closing the palace door, he walked to the inner palace and saw that Gu Qingshu had been dragged out from under the bed.
Nan Xi stood aside, looked at the person on the ground, and kicked him, "Is he dead?"
Yinyue hurriedly put down the tray and replied: "You should still have some energy, I only have some energy left."
Rong Yu remained silent.
"I'm hiding a man under the bed. Your Majesty won't suspect that I'm unfaithful, right?" Nan Xi turned to look at Rong Yu and said with a smile, "Is Your Majesty the one who brought someone here to catch the adulterer?"
Rong Yu looked at her with deep eyes and said nothing.
"Is he really a traitor?" Nan Xi suppressed her smile and her expression softened, "In this situation, what do you think the prince should do? How about letting me sink into the pond with him?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Rong Yu tightened his thin lips and stretched out his hands to take her into his arms, "I am not angry with you."
He was just angry at Gu Qingshu for seeking death.
Nan Yue had used the same trick once before, but Gu Qingshu actually dared to use it tonight. It was unforgivable that such dirty and dark thoughts were used on her again and again.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with this person?" Yinyue asked respectfully, explaining briefly, "Just now the princess said she wanted to throw her hands and feet out, but she was worried that the emperor had arranged manpower to monitor him outside the window, so she did it out of desperation. Under the bed."
Rong Yu's voice was cold: "Do as the princess says."
Yinyue nodded: "Yes."
"Cripple his hands and feet and put him in a dungeon." Rong Yu's voice was ruthless, "I will deal with him tomorrow."
"yes."
Yinyue and Yinshuang quickly dragged the people away so as not to disturb the wedding night of their prince and princess.
"I didn't doubt you." Rong Yu lowered his eyes at the charming little girl in his arms and explained patiently, "I can guess who is behind the plot tonight. The commotion has become louder. There are many people ahead. People have heard things they shouldn’t have heard, and if they are not allowed to come and see for themselves, it will hide the truth. Even if they dare not say it, they will definitely have doubts in their hearts. "
He didn't want her reputation to be damaged in the slightest, especially on matters of chastity.
As soon as Rong Yu entered the hall, he smelled the fragrance in the air that had not completely faded away. How could he not know what was going on? If it weren't for the purpose of proving her innocence, the emperor's words would just be regarded as farts.
