Chapter 155
The Cold Prince Dotes On His Wild Wife
Fu Yifan was startled for a moment before he turned to look at Grand Preceptor Fu, aggrieved. Helian Yu felt that he had somewhat lost his composure and hurriedly changed his explanation:
âFang Fang, you donât need to talk about us in front of outsiders!â
Fu Yafang grumbled in displeasure, âBut Daddy is not an outsider.â
The veins on Helian Yuâs fist were popping out from his back. He couldnât wait to pinch the fat woman in front of him. Die! However, due to Grand Preceptor Fuâs influence, all they could do was chuckle. âHeh heh, thatâs right. How could Grand Preceptor Fu be an outsider?â
Feeling uncomfortable all over, Helian Yu thought about how to get rid of this father and daughter pair.
Who knew that Fu Yafang would suggest it?
âFather, why donât we travel with your highness. In any case, we came to the Imperial Palace today to ask for Your Majestyâs bestowment of marriage. â
Although the rule of âdo not disturbâ is to hold hands successfully and get the Emperor to grant you marriage. However, Helian Yu was a prince after all, and he couldnât play tricks on matters of marriage. Besides, Grand Tutor Fuâs daughter wasnât an ordinary person.
Therefore, after some consideration, he felt that he had to make a trip to the palace and make things clear to the emperor.
When Helian Yu heard Fu Yifanâs words, he wanted to open his mouth and refuse. However, Fu Yifan held onto his arm tightly and refused to let go.
âLetâs see whoâs stronger.â line. Since it was inappropriate to struggle free, he had no choice but to give in. Following that, the father and daughter pair turned and walked in the direction of the Universal Hall.
Halfway there, Helian Yu reluctantly turned around to glance in the direction of Qing He Palace. He had been worried about Wei Changning and Mu Ziyan. It was unknown what kind of secret the two of them had â¦
However, looking at his wrist that was being hugged by a thick arm, he helplessly frowned and could only walk straight towards the Cosmos Sack.
At this moment, Qing He Palaceâs doors were tightly shut. Inside, Mu Ziyan and Wei Changning were sitting on the pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
From a distance, Wei Changning could be heard shouting, âSister!â
Mu Ziyan wore a thin plain dress. Her long hair was not adorned in any way and was draped over her back.
She glanced up at Wei Changning and said to him calmly:
âWhy does little sister have the mood to come to this Qing He Palace today?â
Wei Changning covered her mouth and smiled. âLook at what sister is saying. Ever since my sister recovered from her illness, I havenât come to the Cold Palace to see you. I wonder how you are doing?â
With that, Wei Changning looked around the yard and said disdainfully, âThe environment here is so bad that I might as well follow my sister out today. Let little sister accompany big sister. â
Mu Ziyan was stunned for a moment when she heard Wei Changningâs words. Was this Wei Changning really stupid after getting sick, or was she pretending to be stupid? If she hadnât stolen her position and interfered from the middle, how could she, Mu Ziyan, have fallen to such a state? What was she doing now? You want to come and make a fool of me?
Sneering coldly, Mu Ziyan said to Wei Changning:
âI appreciate your kindness, sister. However, although the Qing He Palace was a bit poor, the environment here was not bad. Elder sister was used to living here, so he didnât need to trouble his younger sister to help his sister. One person is already used to peace and quiet, so itâs a bit awkward to have one extra person. â
Wei Changning was stunned, but she suddenly laughed. âHehe, sister really knows how to joke around.â Pausing, she looked at Mu Ziyan and asked seriously:
âElder sister, I heard that Yiâer had caught a cold recently. I sent an imperial physician to the Jing King Manor. I originally wanted to take a good look for him, but before he could even enter the Jing King Manor, he was chased out. After all, Yiâer was brought up by me from a young age, and Iâm afraid something might happen to him.
After saying that, he pretended to be sad as he wiped away his tears and let out a sob. Mu Ziyan naturally knew Wei Changningâs hypocrisy, but when she heard that her son had caught a chill, her heart suddenly tightened. No wonder she was so restless these past few days, unable to sleep at night.
So it turned out that something had really happened to Yiâer. She hurriedly asked:
âHow is Yiâer now?â
âEven little sister doesnât know â¦â The people my sister sent canât even enter the gates of King Jing Palace, let alone visit Yiâer to treat his illness. â
Indeed, she had sent someone to the Jing King Manor to find out if Helian Yiâs chills were real or not, but every time she went, they would be mercilessly chased out of the Jing King Manor.
Even though they had seen Helian Yi, the people who had returned said that they hadnât seen any abnormality with Jing Wang.
If that was the case, then what was the meaning behind Helian Yiâs illness? Was it because of Mo Li?
Because the Emperor ordered him to enter the palace and learn the rules, he was unwilling to part with him?
Mu Ziyanâs heart was filled with concern for her son, but she did not think too much about it. She quickly shouted, âSomeone, come!â
Very quickly, an old mama came out. âEmpress!â
Mu Ziyan took out a piece of Wu Yu Pendant from her bosom. After being stunned for a moment, she passed it to the old wet nurse and said:
âTake this with you and go to the Kingâs Manor to see how the King is doing.â
âYes!â âEmpress.â
After the old wet nurse left, Mu Ziyan slowly got up and walked to the garden full of peonies by herself. She did not even look at Wei Changning, who was sitting in the pavilion, and coldly said,
âSince little sister has said everything she wants to say, please leave. Here, the humidity is heavy, little sisterâs body is delicate and precious. Otherwise, little sister might accidentally catch a cold, and the emperor will blame you.â
Wei Changning glared at Mu Ziyan. If it wasnât for Helian Yi, how would she be able to return to such a dirty place?
However, Mu Ziyan still had some use. She could not afford to get into an argument with her now, so she endured her anger and forced a laugh. Wei Changning turned to Mu Ziyan and said:
âElder sister is getting serious. His sister was only worried about Yiâerâs situation. Since her sister had already sent someone to take a look, she was relieved. I wonât disturb elder sister anymore. Goodbye. â
With that, Wei Changning quickly left the Qing He Palace.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When he returned to Chang Ning Palace, the maidservant that was guarding outside the hall hurriedly ran over and said,
âEmpress. âKing Xiang came by just now.â
Wei Changning was stunned for a moment. Helian Yu? What was he doing here? Was it because of Helian Yi?
âWhere is he?â
The servant girl timidly replied:
âPrince Xiang saw that you werenât here, so he left. However, this servant seemed to have heard King Xiang say that he was going to the Heaven and Earth Palace.â
âI got it!â âYou may leave!â
Initially, Wei Changning had wanted to visit the Heaven and Earth Palace. However, thinking about how Helian Yu looked so dissatisfied every time, he gave up! Wait for him to find her!
Within the Heaven and Earth Palace, Grand Tutor Fu, Fu Yifan and Helian Yu stood respectfully before the emperor. The surrounding silence was so clear that one could almost hear the breathing of the people around them.
After a long while, the Emperor opened his mouth and asked angrily,
âYuâer!â Say it! âWhatâs going on!?â
He didnât think that his son would be so disgraceful!
He didnât treasure a woman as good as Mo Liangliang, but he had been entangled with her. At the palace banquet, he learned from Mo Liangliang that he was involved with a maid from Jing King Manor, causing him to lose all face for the Helian Clan. Now, he wasnât even going to let go of the daughter of Grand Tutor Fu!
