C222 Yu Longchen's Choice the Concubine

Consort Long originally wanted to go to the main hall but who knew that just as she walked here, the sharp-eyed palace maid saw a black shadow in front of the fake mountain.

He had been in the Palace for many years. Any small matter could involve a person's life. This had already become a habit of many people. This kind of habit might as well be called illness.

The rest of the palace maids followed the direction and saw it too. Consort Long saw the black shadow moving in front of the fake mountain. She also became alert and walked over with the palace maids. After that, there was the scene in the cave.

Ling Yunfeng was so scared that his legs went soft and there was only a terrified expression on his face. Consort Long let the palace maids catch him. She scolded the palace maid beside Yu Longyun, "Why are you sitting there like a fool? Why are you still not helping Princess Yun put on her clothes? Stupid slave! "

Only then did the palace maid wipe away her tears and stumble over to help Yu Longyun put on some clothes. At this time, Ling Yunfeng was already pressed to the ground by a few palace maids and no matter how he looked, he could not see Yu Longyun.

The blood on the white flower petals was glaring. Yu Longyun and Ling Yunfeng were lying naked together again. Needless to say, they knew what happened.

Consort Long did not go to the banquet and let the palace maid bring Yu Longyun and Ling Yunfeng back to her palace. She left another person to guard here and not let anyone get close.

In the banquet hall.

Mu Ruqing and Yun Xi finished their performance and the Emperor praised the two of them. His words were biased towards Mu Ruqing. Mu Jun had been looking for Yu Longyun's figure and it seemed that he had not seen her since just now. He suddenly became worried and felt bored in his heart, so he minded his own business and drank.

After that, it was time for small talk. Between the officials, between the princes and princesses. Between the emperor and the Cloud Dream Diplomat Group.

The banquet went according to the original steps. The Emperor looked at Yu Longchen and suddenly asked, "Chen'er, what do you think of Princess Yun?"

When these words came out, the hall was filled with shock. No one spoke anymore. The one who looked the most anxious was Mu Po. The Emperor wanted to point Yun Xi to Yu Longchen. What about Qing? With her temper, how could her eyes melt the sand?

"Report to Royal Father." Yu Longchen stepped out of his seat and knelt on the ground. His eyes were cold. He could not put on an expression to praise someone he did not want to praise. "Princess Yun's temperament is like orchids... This son cannot be described with words."

Between Yu Longchen's words, there was a period of time when the Emperor and Yun Xi's faces darkened. The other officials thought that Yu Longchen meant that Princess Yun was too good. So good that words could not be used to describe it. As for Yu Longchen's true meaning, Yun Xi's words were so bad that they could not be described with words.

Mu Ruqing understood what he meant, but she could not laugh. Now she knew why the Emperor killed that palace maid and let Yu Longchen know.

"Since you think so, then how about she be your side concubine?" The Emperor looked like he was asking, but the discontentment in his eyes was seen by Yu Longchen. He only thought that he did not understand what Yu Longchen meant.

"This son has his own concubine. And the King Chu's Mansion is small. I can't let Princess Yun suffer." Yu Longchen lowered his head, regardless of the threat in the Emperor's tone, he still refused.

Yun Xi gritted her teeth, you would rather offend the Emperor than marry me. There was some resentment in her eyes as she looked at Mu Ruqing.

"Zhen's Imperial Decree has already been drafted. Tomorrow, Eunuch Gao will deliver the Imperial Decree to the Imperial Residence!" This time, the Emperor could not tolerate Yu Longchen's temperament. His tone was frightening.

If Yu Longchen said no again, he would be punished. All the officials in the hall knew about it.

The reason why the Emperor said such words in the hall was to warn Yu Longchen.

"Chenqie thanks the Emperor on behalf of His Royal Highness." Mu Ruqing stood out and bowed sincerely.

Mu Ruqing knew that if she did not speak, Yu Longchen would keep rejecting. Mu Ruqing was the clearest about his temper.

It was a serious crime to disobey the decree. Furthermore, Yun Xi was Princess Yun Meng. He had to take this marriage even if he wanted it or not. Otherwise, he would become a criminal who destroyed the relationship between the two countries.

This was the Emperor's intention. He wanted Yu Longchen to marry Yun Xi. Firstly, he wanted to keep Yun Meng away from the court to diagnose and treat her, because Yu Longchen was not interested in the matters of the court. Secondly, he had humiliated the Yunmeng Country. The dignified princess could only be the concubine of the Marquis of Dayong. This was to tell the world that Yun Meng was willing to acknowledge the weak in front of the Dayong. Lastly, it was to warn Yu Longchen that if he touched Consort Lan again... After that, she would not let go of him. She would only let him do what he did not want to do. Because the Emperor was the Emperor and the ruler of this world.

"Mm." The Emperor looked at Mu Ruqing and acknowledged, but he still had dissatisfaction towards Yu Longchen.

Yu Longchen's face darkened. He would definitely take his seat. Since then, he did not say another word. He should have thought of these things from the beginning. At that time, his mind was only filled with Consort Lan's matters, and he did not care about anything else.

Actually, even if he knew from the beginning, he would not be able to do anything. If a monarch wanted a subject to die, the subject had no choice but to die.

Yun Xi smiled. So what if you don't like it now? I have already become your side concubine.

Mu Ruqing was even more uncomfortable than Yu Longchen. But she was not worried that Yu Longchen would have any ulterior motives. If he really did, it might not be a bad thing if she went.

The two of them were not far from each other. Mu Ruqing reached under the table and pulled Yu Longchen's clothes. Only then did Yu Longchen look up at Mu Ruqing with guilt.

This time, Mu Ruqing's heart ached. She was afraid that she would leave him alone.

No one in the hall said anything. They looked at each other and drank their wine tacitly.

At this moment, the Emperor looked at the silent person. It was unknown whether his eyes were filled with satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Perhaps both.

Gao Mao quickly walked in from behind, bent down and whispered something into the Emperor's ear. The Emperor's eyes turned into fury. However, he could not lose his temper now.

A pair of eyes that could kill looked at the Duke of Ling and then at the Empress. After saying a few more words, he left.

Everyone stood up and bowed. "Respectfully sending off the Emperor, Empress."

Not long after the Emperor left, Yu Longtang hurriedly came to Yu Longchen's side with a worried expression, "Something happened to Longyun."

"What?!" Both of them were shocked. The person who was sitting beside them just now...

Without saying much, they followed Yu Longtang out of the door. Yun Xi and Yun Yu stood up. Just as they wanted to talk to them, they were once again ignored.

Mu Jun followed them out and caught up with the three of them. "This official has a request."

Hearing Mu Jun's voice, the three of them stopped at the same time.

"Does King Chu know where Princess Yun went? We did not see her in the second half of the banquet." Mu Jun did not hear anything at the banquet. He just thought about where Yu Longyun had gone.

Yu Longtang and Yu Longchen looked at each other and did not say anything.

Mu Ruqing went up and said, "Big brother, you go back first. We will talk about this later."

"But..."

"Brother, this is the Imperial Palace. You and I are both officials." Mu Ruqing frowned deeply. She was afraid. She was very afraid. She still did not know what had happened to Yu Longyun. The Emperor's anger just now was probably because of this matter.

Mu Jun looked at the backs of the three of them. No matter how worried he was, he could not chase after them. This was the Imperial Palace, and he returned to the Prime Minister's Estate in a daze.

The three of them had just arrived at Consort Long's palace when they saw that in the main hall, the Emperor and Empress were all there except for the bedridden Yu Longzi.

"What happened to Longyun?" Before entering the door, Yu Longchen asked. Since the person was with Consort Long, Yu Longtang should know everything.

"Longyun became Ling Yunfeng's man." Yu Longtang himself did not believe that such a thing would happen. A few days ago, he was still discussing how to facilitate the marriage between Yu Longyun and Mu Jun.

In just one or two hours, things were different...

The blow Mu Ruqing received tonight was huge. First, her own happiness was about to be divided, and her brother's happiness was also ruined.

Once she got anxious, her heart started to hurt. She held her chest and could not stand straight. Her forehead was covered in sweat.
