Chapter 210: Chapter 210: I Never Thought I Could Stroll in the Imperial Palace in My Lifetime

The conversation between the two revealed a familiar ease with one another.

The Governor’s wife couldn’t help feeling wary.

These people were clearly here to stir up trouble, but no matter what they couldn’t really turn the sky upside down, but if Marquis Cui intervened, it would be a different story.

As her thoughts raced, Ji Huo stood up from Yan An.

Ji Huo was glaring at Cui Yun, who was impeccably dressed, looking down on him!

He snorted sarcastically, and then awkwardly adjusted his wrinkled clothes.

"Miss Shen."

"Don’t be afraid of him!"

"I’m here for you!"

After which, Ji Ge timely silenced her.

The Governor’s wife threw herself in front of the badly swollen-faced Yan An, no longer caring about her usual decorum.

Her trembling hand touched him, causing Yan An to cry out in pain, and the Governor’s wife felt as though her heart was being sliced, her veins bulging in anger.

"Go! Go fetch the Medical Staff!"

"Help Mr. Yan back to his room!"

With a stern face, she said to Ji Huo, "What happened today, my Governor Mansion will remember it!"

Eventually, the few words from Shen Hua earlier served as a warning to her, only able to swallow the bitter pill in silence, not daring to make a bigger scene.

The official might not care about the Third Prince, Seventh Prince, but he does care about his nephew Ji Huo.

Especially when it involves the reputation of the Imperial Family.

Cui Yun was solemn.

He was always prudent and behaved according to the rules. Given the current situation involved Shen Hua, he couldn’t just take her away and create grounds for gossip.

His identity, and the righteousness seen by others in Cui family’s second son, also did not permit him to conclude the matter so lightly.

The man slightly lifted his gaze.

"Governor’s wife, please be patient and calm down."

His voice cold and clear, like the water of a spring that seems to soothe the inner disgruntlements.

He did not blame Shen Hua, nor did he offer an apology to the Governor’s wife. He arrived late and did not witness everything, but he had a rough guess.

The Governor’s wife, after all, ought to give Cui Yun some face.

"Let’s leave today’s incident at that. Marquis Cui can take the person he was looking for and I won’t hold a grudge."

"Wrong."

Cui Yun chuckled lightly.

"Governor’s wife, your words are not proper. This matter involves the Imperial Family, Governor Mansion, Prince Gong Mansion, Minister of Industry Mansion, and Marquis Yangling Mansion, it is not trivial. Mr. Yan was significantly injured and startled, the rights and wrongs must be thoroughly investigated, and the laws and decrees will judge right as right, wrong as wrong, with no bias."

"Since I have seen it, I will not overlook this matter just to protect my own family’s girl."

Ji Huo was displeased at once.

"Cui Yun! What do you mean? It sounds like it’s my fault!"

Cui Yun: "Princely Heir is renowned, yet he never causes trouble without cause, if we let go of this incident, your intrusion into the Governor Mansion and your assault on Yan An are indeed true, even if justified, it becomes indefensible."

"This matter involves Marquis Yangling Mansion, it’s difficult for me to investigate directly, but I have another plan."

The Governor’s wife tightened up: "What do you mean, Marquis?"

Cui Yun said lightly: "Enter the palace to see the Emperor. Let the official decide."

Ji Ge smiled.

"Good, with the Emperor arbitrating, no one will dare to slander in the future,"

Cui Yun instructed Ji Qing: "Inform the Third Prince, Prince Gong."

The Governor’s wife’s breath hitched.

She was completely overwhelmed.

Ji Huo fumbled: "This... might not be necessary."

Ji Ge disdainfully: "I always knew you lack courage, why bother showing off?"

This prompted Ji Huo: "Fine, we’ll go, I’m in the right anyway!"

To prove his point and demonstrate valiance, Ji Huo forcefully said: "Go, carry your young master to my carriage!"

This turn of events left the Governor’s wife with no room to refuse.

She could only watch helplessly as the frightened Yan An was taken away unconscious.

As a commanded woman of the court, she could not enter the palace without permission, so she desperately shouted orders.

"Go! Go find your master!"

————

Two carriages headed towards the Imperial Palace, one following the other.

Cui Yun, Shen Hua, Ji Huo, Ji Ge, Wei Yingying in one, and the unconscious Yan An in another.

The girl approached Cui Yun: "It won’t cause any trouble for cousin, will it?"

She leaned in close, her breath lightly brushing against Cui Yun’s neck, tickling him.

Cui Yun’s Adam’s apple moved.

Before he could respond, Ji Ge clicked his tongue.

"Shen, rest assured, the one in trouble is Ji Huo."

Ji Huo: ...

Shen Hua uttered an ’oh’, relieved.

Ji Huo: ?

Was everything before this fake?!!!

He looked at Shen Hua standing very close to Cui Yun, for a moment not understanding what it was all for?

So, he’s been risking his life upfront, while Cui Yun reaps the benefits?

He turned his head, looking at Wei Yingying.

Wei Yingying was even more outrageous: "This matter has implicated the Third Prince; I just hope it doesn’t scare him."

Ji Huo: ...That’s absurd!

He sulked on his own.

But among the group in the carriage, no one cared about him.

Meanwhile, Cui Yun responded to Shen Hua: "It’s nothing."

He said indifferently: "The Yan Family and Wei Family’s alliance—this matter has long been anticipated by the official."

Right after Emperor He scolded Duke Wei, Duke Wei Mansion’s betrothal gifts were carried into the Governor Mansion. Other courtiers would prefer to stay out of it by three miles, but the Yan Family went headfirst into it.

This is disregarding the Emperor.

Once Emperor He learned of this, he thought of teaching the Yan Family a lesson! He also considered it an opportunity presented to him.

And this matter, if truly investigated, is also the fault of the Yan Family.

They, these people, will not be in trouble.

Ji Ge raised an eyebrow, not surprised.

He had already guessed it; this was also the reason he watched Ji Huo fighting without stopping him. Anyway, Yan An is no good person; it’s not an injustice to him.

Ji Huo was anxious, his healed wounds began to ache faintly, and he could no longer care about face, saying irritably: "You guys remember to cover for me later. My father, if something happens, he really would beat me."

Ji Ge: "Hahahaha."

"You can only pray for more fortune."

"Cui Yun! It was you who wanted to enter the palace, and it was you who led my father to the palace. We are all in this together, I, the Princely Heir, am putting it out here, if I get an extra cut today, it’s not over with you."

Cui Yun found him noisy. But he was willing to give him a reassurance.

"It won’t."

Ji Huo half believed, half doubted.

"Are you sure?"

Cui Yun moved his lips: "Today’s matter, if the Princely Heir still has the energy, just respond truthfully. Prince Gong will not only refrain from punishing you, but he might even highly praise the Princely Heir."

At this, Shen Hua pursed her lips.

The girl cast her eyes down, silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Wei Yingying understood.

Shen Hua, despite usually being commanding, is still a merchant’s daughter, not worldly, never seen the Emperor, and now having to appear before him, naturally she was nervous.

To say nothing of Shen Hua, even her own legs felt a bit soft.

Wei Yingying was about to comfort her.

"What’s wrong?"

Just then Cui Yun asked.

Shen Hua looked up, her eyes bright and shining.

"I never expected that in my lifetime I could stroll around the Imperial Palace."

The girl’s smile deepened.

Wei Yingying: ...You think it’s a walk in the park!

"Shen Hua."

Wei Yingying expressionless: "Aren’t you afraid? If you behave improperly in front of the Emperor, you might lose your head along with me."

Shen Hua: "What’s there to fear?"

The girl, with her fearless confidence, told her: "Early death or late, to me, it’s all the same—death comes for us all."

Wei Yingying: ...

Can you not say that, please!!!
