Capítulo 986: 986 Reasons
The Crown Prince fell silent as he spoke up to this point. He knew Ye Jiu felt aggrieved, but what was really going on, he didn’t know.
However, he made up his mind that no matter who it was, anyone daring to bully his daughter would absolutely not be spared.
Ye Jiu didn’t necessarily need him to answer her, instead she said, “But Father doesn’t know that the Ye Family, to , is like my second life. Anyone who touches the Ye Family is akin to taking my life!”
As she spoke, a fierce gleam erged in Ye Jiu’s eyes.
Only then did the Crown Prince understand that it was because of the Ye Family’s issues. But at this mont, he internally sighed with relief.
“So it was because of the Ye Family,” the Crown Prince relaxed his expression and said, “Rest assured, the Ye Family is fine; the people were released last night.”
Speaking of this, it’s not fair to bla your grandfather, the Emperor. Although the Ye Family was clearly frad, it was their own negligence as well.
Your grandfather rely detained them for mild punishnt, didn’t take their lives, didn’t sentence them to exile, which was already quite rciful.”
While helping to explain for the old Emperor, the Crown Prince didn’t notice the trace of irony on Ye Jiu’s face.
rciful?
He knew very well that the old Emperor’s rcy ca at the expense of her marriage.
If she were just an ordinary woman, if Sikong Mo weren’t so powerful, they might miss each other for a lifeti, living in pain.
However, the Ye Family being released was a consolation for Ye Jiu.
“Alas…” the Crown Prince suddenly reacted, “No, you wretched girl, don’t change the subject. I asked where you went last night, you haven’t told yet.”
“I was with Sikong Mo,” Ye Jiu replied.
“What? You wretched girl, you didn’t return all night and you were with that rogue!” the Crown Prince imdiately flew into a rage.
However, Ye Jiu remained serene, “I told him, we should call off the engagent.”
Suddenly, the Crown Prince fell silent.
After a while, he spoke, “Did that punk bully you, Jiujiu? I’ll avenge you. Although I can’t beat him, I have people under my command, and my status is no worse than his…”
The Crown Prince could sense Ye Jiu’s regard for Sikong Mo. He didn’t believe she would suddenly want to call off the engagent without reason.
Ye Jiu raised her head and looked at him, “Does Father think the Emperor was bored with nothing to do, so he arrested and released the Ye Family to amuse himself?”
The Crown Prince wasn’t foolish, but he didn’t want to admit it, or rather, he was pretending to be oblivious, “What do you an, Jiujiu? Don’t forget, he’s your grandfather!”
“No, he’s not my grandfather, he’s just your father, the ruler of this land. So, he disagrees, I have to call off the engagent, even if Sikong Mo has surrendered, even if he has given up his military power,” Ye Jiu said.
The Crown Prince clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to believe, yet had to admit, what Ye Jiu said was the truth.
The Emperor was his father, but also the monarch of this realm, and his will couldn’t be opposed by anyone, including him.
Just like when he decreed him to marry Liu, as the dignified and noble King Jing, he was reluctant to marry a rchant’s daughter.
Yet, he had no room for resistance either.
Afterwards, he ignored Liu and adored his concubine, probably not without reasons from this aspect. Fortunately, with age, he gradually ca to terms with it.
Otherwise, at this mont, the situation between him, Liu, and Ye Jiu might be entirely different.
