Chapter 45: Frenzy Like Fire

  Rong Jing didn't speak, he just stared at Yun Qian Yue, his eyes fixed intently on her.

  Yun Shallow Moon frowned, "What are you looking at me for? I asked you why didn't you leave standing here?"

  Rong Jing seemed as if he hadn't heard, still gazing at Yun Shang and Yue without speaking a word.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked down at herself, from head to toe, everything was in order, nothing was wrong. She raised her head and saw Rong Jing still staring at her, without even blinking. Her eyebrows furrowed, just as she was about to touch her face, Rong Jing suddenly pulled her into his arms, she was taken aback, he tiptoed lightly, and took off with her in a flash.

  "Hey, where are you taking me? The old emperor doesn't allow me to leave the palace!" Yun Qianyue thought of this and got angry. She was now like a bird trapped in a cage, and Ye Tianyi actually asked for permission to instruct her.

  Rong Jing didn't say a word, his lightness skill was extremely high, and with Cloud Shallow Moon by his side, their figures were like a gentle breeze sweeping past the various scenery of the imperial palace. The imperial guards and hidden guards almost couldn't detect them.

  Yun Qian Yue thought that this person was probably dumb, asking three times and not answering. She saw Rong Jing taking her in a direction that wasn't towards the palace exit, she glanced at him and also didn't speak again.

  Before long, Rong Jing brought Yun Qian Yue into a palace. The signboard in front of the palace door flashed by, and Yun Qian Yue saw that it was the three characters "Yu Shu Fang". She hesitated for a moment, but she had already been led inside by him.

  The old emperor is not around, the imperial study is heavily guarded by soldiers three zhang away, and inside the palace it's quiet and deserted.

  Two figures fell, and before Yun Shangyue could see the scene in the imperial study clearly, Rong Jing's lips had already landed.

  This kiss was different from the one in the hospital, full of anger and resentment. It was like a stormy rain, pouring all his passion into her, wrapping her tightly, like a flame. Yun Shang's body softened instantly, as if she was being melted by fire. She could hardly bear his fervor, stretching out her hand to push him away, but Rong Jing didn't budge. She could only lean back, her body arched in the crook of his arm, helplessly enduring his kiss, letting the passion engulf her.

  Her mind went blank, her consciousness floating away, and all she could see in front of her was a blurry mist. Yet, he still wouldn't let go of her, his jade-like hand slipping into her robe, touching the warm, smooth skin that felt like silk under his fingers, massaging out a vibrant pink hue. Yun Shang's body couldn't stop trembling.

  After who knows how long, Yun Shangyue couldn't bear it anymore and sobbed out loud, "Rong Jing... you... bastard..."

  Her voice was extremely low and small, weak as a mosquito. Rong Jing heard it but didn't stop, instead becoming even more frenzied, his lips leaving hers to kiss her brow, eyes, collarbone, chest... The white skin like snow left behind fine, dense red marks wherever his lips and hands had been...

  "I... I'm going to die... let go..." Yun Shangyue felt her body was being lifted like a burning flame, as if adding another spark would set her ablaze. She hung her hands weakly, without even the strength to lift her arm.

  Rong Jing finally stopped and looked down at her.

  Yun's breathing was shallow and rapid, her head spinning, her body feeling like it was on fire and yet also like water, as if she might burn up or melt away at any moment.

  His eyes had a thick flame burning in them, and deep within the flames seemed to be a black hole that could suck Yun Qian Yue in at any moment. He gazed quietly at her panting, her pale face tinged with a layer of rouge. Her gaze was fixed on his lips, which were red and swollen from kissing, and the messy kiss marks. Finally, he spoke up, "Do you remember?"

  His voice was low and hoarse, as if suppressing something that was about to burst out of his throat.

  Yun's shallow breathing paused for a moment, and she didn't respond.

  "Hmm? Have you remembered yet?" Rong Jing looked at Yun Qian Yue, his lips pressed against hers again, while his hands simultaneously caressed and pinched her skin.

  "Rong Jing, you bastard..." Yun Qiu Yue wanted to open Rong Jing's hand.

  Rong Jing Shun took her hand and intertwined their fingers, his eyes locked onto hers as he asked again, "Do you remember now?" His body pressed against hers, their faces inches apart, his warm breath dancing across her skin.

  "Grow up, you big-headed ghost!" Yun Shangyue's heart was on fire, and she didn't know where the strength came from to shout out a sentence. Isn't this obviously bullying someone? She glared at Rong Jing, but even though she shouted, her voice was still soft and fluffy without any intimidating power.

  "It seems you still haven't learned your lesson, don't worry, we have plenty of time today, I'll teach you slowly...". Rong Jing looked at Yun Shang Yue, his words fell, and his lips fell again, covering her tender lips.

  Yun Shallow Moon still wanted to speak, but not a single word could be uttered. Her body was originally unable to withstand it, and at this time one hand was behind her back, the other hand was tightly grasped by him, and her body felt like it had been pressed down by a great mountain. Although he looked thin and weak, his strength was surprisingly great, making it impossible for her to push him away. The energy she had originally mustered up suddenly dissipated, and her body went limp once again.

  Yun Shallow Moon was almost suffocated, but Rong Jing still didn't let her go. His jade-like hand slid over every inch of her skin, back to her waist, his fingers lightly hooked, pulling away her silk ribbon. The ribbon was already smooth, and in an instant, it was pulled off, exposing a large area of her skin under him. Yun Shallow Moon's body trembled, and her mind suddenly woke up with a start. Rong Jing looked at her, his dark eyes almost overflowing, as he opened his lips to murmur: "Actually, our wedding night here isn't bad either, what do you think?"

  "How could I...?" Yun Shangyue's face turned bright red, and the words she spoke made even herself blush. Although she was now being tormented by him to the point of weakness, she had not yet fainted, nor had she forgotten that this was the imperial study.

  "Where is that? You choose the place!" Rong Jing looked at Yun Qian Yue, his eyes stuck on her face and couldn't move away.

  Yun Shallow Moon panted, looking at Rong Jing. This bastard was absolutely not a gentleman, not good. She knew he wouldn't give up until he found his way back to the scene. With some anger, she said: "Don't go anywhere, let me go quickly!"

  "I can let you go if I want to. So tell me, have you remembered anything?" Rong Jing's hand hooked onto Yun Qian Yue's belt and started playing with it.

  Yun paled and turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

  "Who was it that kept saying they wanted to marry me, and then live with me in the Rong Wang Fu, teaching our children and doing household chores for me?" Yong Jing's lips were pressed against Yun Shang Yue's, his icy breath spraying onto her face as he raised an eyebrow, his voice husky.

  Yun's face turned even redder as she thought to herself, "Is this really Rong Jing?" She had been eavesdropping on their conversation and now felt embarrassed that he had spoken out loud. She tilted her head and remained silent.

  "Who said that if the emperor grants me a marriage with one of them, I will have to kill one?" asked Rong Jing again.

  Yun Shang Yue didn't seem to have heard it.

  "Who said that after marrying into our family, you would be able to climb out of the purple bamboo forest of the Rong Wang Fu? With me in charge, you won't even be able to leave." Jing's eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile, his voice low and gentle, like a clear breeze passing by, leaving no trace or sound.

  "Aren't you ashamed? Isn't your face red? You actually eavesdropped on people's conversation!" Yun Shangyue finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned her head and looked at Rong Jing.

  "Aren't you ashamed to say that to the emperor? Why should others blush for you?" Rong Jing smiled at Yun Shang Yue, his eyes circling her face, and said in a low voice: "I'm not blushing, but your face is redder now!"

  "Get out..." Yun Qianyue thought that this emotional idiot had heard all her words! She stretched out her hand to push him away in shame and anger.

  Rong Jing's silk-like hair remained still, gazing at Yun Qian Yue. Yun Qian Yue stared back at him, and he suddenly buried his face in her neck, chuckling softly. His laughter was extremely low, his chest slightly trembling, as if he was extremely delighted. Listening to this kind of laughter, it seemed like a large patch of snow lotus flowers bloomed layer by layer before one's eyes.

  Yun Qian Yue pushed him with a bad temper, "What are you laughing at? Be careful and invite the wolf in!"

  Rong Jing was still smiling, as if she hadn't heard.

  Yun Shallow Moon gazed up at the eaves of the roof, her face expressionless. The golden tiles and blue bricks of the imperial study room dazzled her eyes with a bright yellow light. She thought to herself, "How is it that after all these years, the old emperor's eyes haven't been blinded by the glare?"

  "One person's weight is the lightness of all people under heaven." Rong Jing laughed for a while, then collected his smile and spoke in a low voice, "Am I finally heavy in your heart? Yun Shangyue, you still have a conscience!"

  Yun Shallow Moon rolled her eyes, what made her look like she didn't have a conscience?

  Rong Jing suddenly let go of her and straightened up, his arm also naturally wrapped around her body, pulling her torn skirt back onto her shoulder, and lowering his head to tie the waistband that had been pulled open for her. Rong Jing's movements were not particularly fast, but in an instant, he had tidied up Yun Shang Yue's disheveled clothes with precision.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at Rong Jing, the person in front of her wore a brocade robe with jade belt, his clothes were neat and tidy, not even a single strand of hair was out of place. But she was a mess because of him. She felt a bit suffocated.

  Rong Jing helped Yun Shang tidy up her clothes, and then slightly tidied up her disheveled hair before stopping his hands to look at her. Seeing that she looked stifled, he gazed at her for a moment, then leaned down to plant a kiss on her cheek, gently pulling her into his arms. "Sorry," he whispered.

  The cloud is shallow and the moon is stunned, this bastard is apologizing? What kind of apology is this?

  "The sixth princess stopped me and showed me a letter, I was delayed by her for a while." Rong Jing's voice was extremely soft, "You know, as long as it's about you, it can make my mind completely disordered. Although I knew someone was intentionally delaying me, I couldn't control myself from going to receive the letter."

  "What news?" Yun Qian Yue raised an eyebrow. She was thinking about how Sixth Princess could possibly stop Rong Jing?

  "It's the letter you wrote to Seventh Prince." Rong Jing said.

  "Is it the same as the letter he just took out and read?" Yun Shangyue narrowed her eyes. How could the letter she wrote to the Seventh Prince end up in the hands of the Sixth Princess? Moreover, the Sixth Princess was recuperating from her injuries in the palace, how did she know that Rong Jing had entered the palace? It seemed that Ye Tianyi had done it on purpose. Otherwise, looking at Ye Tianyi's careful preservation of the letter she wrote five years ago, how could he have allowed her letter to fall into someone else's hands?

  "No!" Rong Jing shook his head, "It's your handwriting! The letter you wrote to him two months ago!"

  Clouds shallow moon pushed open Rong Jing, two months ago, was it before she lost her memory?

  Rong Jing held her still, pressing her into his chest. Yun Qian Yue couldn't see his face, only hearing him say in a low voice: "It's a letter you wrote to him before you lost your memory." After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued in a low voice: "He knows exactly how to grasp my weaknesses, making me completely flustered... Later when I calmed down and went to the hospital, I saw you with him... How could I not be angry?"

  Yun Pian Yue thought about it and wasn't surprised that he was delayed for so long, then when he went to the hospital his face looked so terrible. She pursed her lips, trying to make her voice calm, "What kind of letter? Bring it here and let me take a look!"

  "It was ruined by me in a fit of rage!" Rong Jing said.

  "What kind of letter made you so angry?" Yún Qiān Yuè saw that he didn't let go, and leaned into his arms without coming out again.

  Rong Jing remained silent and didn't say a word.

  Yun Qian Yue thought about what she could write to Ye Tian Yi. It couldn't be something like "I like you", right?

  "Tell him you'll wait for his return to Beijing." Rong Jing fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

  It was like that! Yun Shangyu let out a sigh of relief, pushed away Rong Jing and glared at him, "Was it just one sentence? Did you have to?" As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered how Ye Tianyi had grabbed her hand and whispered sweet nothings in her ear when he came to the hospital, publicly announcing their relationship and claiming that the earrings were a token of their love. Her anger dissipated, and her tone immediately softened as she explained: "I wasn't his match, I was pinned down by him and couldn't break free. So..."

  "So you've gone soft on him! Can't bring yourself to do it, can you?" Rong Jing picked up where Yun Shangyue left off.

  Although Yun Shang Yue didn't want to admit it, there was indeed a kind of gravitational pull deep down in her heart that made her unable to bring herself to be ruthless. It wasn't just because he looked like Xiao Qi, but probably also because she and Ye Tian Yi had been entangled for too many years. She was heartless and cold-blooded, but there would always be exceptions. Being heartless also depended on who it was directed at. After all, Ye Tian Yi wasn't someone with no redeeming qualities, was he?

  "I know I shouldn't be angry with you, or annoyed, but I couldn't help it. I can understand why you couldn't bring yourself to be harsh with him, but I couldn't not be annoyed or angry. Especially in that situation. So, I said sorry." Rong Jing pulled Yun Shang Yue's body close and his tone changed, somewhat angrily saying: "But why did you agree to be more fair? How do you plan on being fair to him? Are you going to treat him the same way as before? That's impossible!"

  Yun Shallow Moon pushed him away with her hand, he didn't move at all. She used more force and he finally let go. Looking at him seriously, she said: "Opening the mountain to drink water to alleviate the drought in the north border, using a plan to resolve the disaster of the north border five years ago, terracing, irrigation, and opening up the barren land of the north border into rich soil. How many assassins from the Night Sky Gang were sent to the north border for him? If he says all these out loud, do you know what the consequences will be?"

  "Did he use this to threaten you?" Jung-gyeong narrowed his eyes.

  "He said that if the old emperor knew, I would never be able to leave the Tianjia again. Maybe he can even grant us a marriage! Cloud Shallow Moon looked at Rong Jing and let out a soft sigh, "At that time, Ye Tianyi's words were convincing, and he must have been able to do it. If we really get married, what about you and me? Will we overthrow the Ye family's power? But even if we do, are you prepared?"

  Rong Jing pursed her lips and remained silent.

  "I've forgotten him, and now I'm cold-blooded and ruthless towards him. It's indeed unfair." Yun Qianyue pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "The nature of human beings is something that exists regardless of whether it's before or after losing one's memory. Ye Tianyi is too deeply entangled with me, and he understands me too well. He's using this to force me to recover my memories. Actually, there's nothing wrong with that."

  Rong Jing didn't say anything.

  "Tomorrow, I'll go with him to Lingtai Temple to find Master Puxian and recover my memories!" Yun Shangyue looked at Rong Jing, "You were originally supposed to help me recover my memories too. But I think it's pretty good like this, I underestimated Yexiang Ye's persistence."

  Rong Jing remained silent, her eyes deep and mysterious, it was unclear what she was thinking.

  Yun Qian Yue looked at him, and also stopped talking. How hard is it for someone like Rong Jing to say sorry? She originally had some anger towards him but suddenly dispersed! If she stood from Ye Tian Yi's perspective, she could understand the unfairness towards him, and even more so, understand Rong Jing. If she saw Ye Tian Yi pulling her without getting angry, then that would be abnormal.

  "Although I'm not prepared, I'm also not afraid. Just this once, I'll let you be threatened by him. There won't be a second time." Rong Jing suddenly spoke up, his voice extremely low, but his tone was extremely heavy. "Even if the Night Clan's empire were to collapse, what of it? If overturning the world could exchange for you being by my side for a lifetime, I'm willing to bear the infamy of being unloyal. I won't regret it."

  Yun Shallow Moon stared at Rong Jing in a daze.

  Rong Jing smiled and leaned in close to her, lightly kissing her brow, then her cheek, and finally her tender lips. Suddenly, he chuckled softly, "You never mentioned me even once in your correspondence with him. Didn't you think that was strange?"

  "What's wrong with you? Didn't you have a serious illness for ten years?" Yun Shallow Moon raised an eyebrow.

  "I may have been seriously ill for ten years, but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything." Rong Jing smiled at her, "Especially when it comes to you!"

  Yun Shallow Moon frowned, Rong Jing suddenly picked her up and turned into the screen. She looked at Rong Jing, Rong Jing said to her in a low voice: "The emperor is back!"

  Yun Pian Yue thought that this was the imperial study, and after the old emperor finished dealing with the matters of the Taiyi Hospital, he would naturally return. She didn't say another word. Thinking about Rong Jing's words just now, yes, she had been exchanging letters with Ye Tian Yi for five years, but only spoke in brief phrases without mentioning Rong Jing. It seemed very normal because he had been bedridden with a serious illness for ten years and never left the mansion. But this person wasn't someone who only took care of his illness and didn't know how to do anything else. There was indeed something abnormal about it.

  "Hold your breath!" Rong Jing transmitted a voice reminder, "The emperor's vigilance is very high!"

  Yun's thoughts were withdrawn, and she held her breath for a moment.

  The two men fell silent, and the imperial study was as if there were no one else present.

  Before long, a heavy footsteps came. A person who didn't wait for the servant to open the curtain pushed it aside and walked in first. The curtain rustled as he lifted it, and as soon as he entered, the quiet atmosphere of the imperial study was suddenly changed.

  Yun Shallow Moon looked at the screen, this screen was a high-quality pure gold carving auspicious dragon screen, and it was impossible to see through it to see things outside. But without thinking, she knew that the person who came in was the old emperor. The old emperor was obviously angry enough, after such a long delay, his anger had not dissipated.

  The guards stood in a straight line outside the imperial study, neat and tidy, silent as can be.

  After the imperial guards, two people followed closely behind and came to a stop without entering with the old emperor. They stood guard outside the door. Just as Yun Shangyue was about to release her divine consciousness to investigate who they were, Rong Jing transmitted a voice into her ear, saying: "Don't move, it's the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince's martial arts skills are above yours, if you release even half a hint of your aura, he will be able to sense it."

  Yun Qian Yue immediately dispelled the idea of probing, and then transmitted a sound to ask Rong Jing in confusion, "Since my martial arts come from the same origin as yours, why can't I surpass Ye Tian Yi? What kind of martial arts is he practicing?"

  "You are restricted by the Phoenix Tribulation, and the Phoenix Tribulation has sealed your last layer of power. Your Phoenix True Classic is not fully accomplished. So you're not his match." After Rong Jing finished speaking, he glanced at Yun Shangyue, "He practices the Snow Mountain Sect's martial arts, and shares the same master as Rong Feng!"

  "Rong Feng's senior brother?" Yun Qianyue was taken aback.

  "Hmm!" Rong Jing nodded.

  Yun Qian Yue thought that it was no wonder Rong Feng knew about her and Ye Tian Yi's affair. It seemed that the Snow Mountain Sect was also deeply connected to her.

  "The Crown Prince is coming!" The old emperor walked around the room after entering the house, seemingly suppressing his anger, and shouted out loud.

  "Yes, Your Majesty!" Night Sky hastened in at the sound of his voice.

  "Kneel down!" The old emperor looked at Ye Tian with a stern face.

  He fell to his knees with a thud.

  "Do you know where you went wrong today?" The old emperor asked in a deep voice.

  "The young master should not have laid hands on the Crown Prince." Ye Tianqing spoke up, his voice hoarse, clearly injured from the kicks by the old emperor and not having received timely treatment. His lungs were damaged.

  "Rui Taizi is the crown prince of Southern Liang, a noble guest from Heaven's Sanctum. On the first day of Heaven's Sanctum, you can't even let something happen under my nose! And yet, you actually dared to lay hands on Rui Taizi and fell into his trap. In front of the palace gates, how many eyes are watching? If Cold Shaozhao hadn't intervened today, if Southern Ling Rui had been beaten by you and was lying in the Imperial Hospital, I wouldn't let you be crown prince anymore!" The old emperor said angrily.

  Yitian leaned forward, his body trembling, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Rui's abilities are far superior to mine, how could I possibly...".

  "It's precisely because of this that you're foolish!" The old emperor picked up the memorial on the table and slapped it onto Ye Tianqing's head, angrily saying: "Today, Tian Yu did better than you. Nan Lingrui used the same trick on him, but he knew how to yield and adapt. I think these years as crown prince have been too comfortable for you! Why not let Tian Yu do it instead, so I can be at ease!"

  The night sky suddenly changed color.

  "Return to the palace and reflect on your mistakes, from today onwards for a month, without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the Crown Prince's residence." The old emperor looked at Ye Tianqing with a gloomy face and ordered in a deep voice.

  "Yes!" The night sky was overwhelming, and he didn't dare resist, bowing his head in response.

  "Get out!" The old emperor waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

  Ye Tian stood up, his teeth clenched, and backed out of the imperial study. Just as he reached the door, the old emperor remembered something and instructed: "Right, on your way, go to the Prime Minister's mansion and inform Qin Yujing that from tomorrow on, she will enter the palace to follow the Empress Dowager and teach her palace etiquette."

  The night sky inclined its footstep, and with a bow, responded in unison, "Yes!"

  The old emperor waved his hand and stopped looking at the night sky, shouting outside, "Tian Yi come in!"

  The night sky covered the god's color in his eyes, and he walked out of the imperial study. Ye Tian Yi did not immediately enter, but stood at the door of the imperial study, looking at him with a slightly sunken face, without saying a word, and walked towards the palace.

  Ye Tianyi watched as Ye Tianqing's figure disappeared, then adjusted his clothes and walked slowly into the imperial study. As soon as he entered, the atmosphere in the imperial study changed dramatically from when Ye Tianqing had just arrived. Although the old emperor's aura was still gloomy and angry, with a strong smell of gunpowder, Ye Tianyi himself had an aura that could calm down the irritating atmosphere.

  "Tell me, what's going on between you and Yuè Wán Tóu?" The old emperor looked at Yè Tiān Yì, his expression slightly improved.

  "What does the Emperor want to know?" Ye Tianyi stood in front of the old emperor, his handsome face expressionless.

  "I want to know what you're thinking!" The old emperor stared at Ye Tianyi's face.

  "What can I possibly know about what's on the Emperor's mind?" Ye Tianyi's expression remained unchanged, and he showed no fear in the face of the old emperor's oppressive aura.

  "You don't know? If the Crown Prince doesn't know, I believe it. The Fourth Prince doesn't know, I also believe it. All my other princes don't know, I believe it too. But you not knowing, I don't believe." The old emperor sat down in his chair, his aged eyes fixed on Ye Tianyi's face.

  "If I could have guessed what was on Father's mind, five years ago, he wouldn't have had Mother Empress punished and the entire maternal clan killed. And I wouldn't have been banished to this desolate and cold northern border." Ye Tianyi raised an eyebrow, "It's only been five years, surely Father hasn't forgotten about what happened back then?"

  "If your mother were still alive, how could there be a you today? Don't mention your mother to me again!" The old emperor suddenly flew into a rage.

  "Yes, if my mother empress hadn't died, there naturally wouldn't be today's me. But after my mother empress died, I almost wasn't myself either. If it weren't for Yue Er, Father Emperor probably wouldn't have seen his son and subject today." Ye Tianyi ignored the old emperor's angry gaze.

  "Are you blaming me?" The old emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Tianyi.

  "The child I am how dare blame the emperor, it was just the queen mother's choice back then." Ye Tianyi's eyes were somewhat cold.

  The old emperor suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Ye Tianyi, "Do you know what happened back then?"

  "I didn't want to know, but unfortunately, I found out!" Ye Tianyi also looked at the old emperor with a expressionless face.

  "I originally thought that only I and your mother knew, but unexpectedly you found out! It's good too! Otherwise, you would have said that I was heartless and forced your mother to her death. In fact, it was her own choice." The old emperor looked at Ye Tianyi, "I gave her the opportunity, she seized it! Now that you've become so capable, she can rest in peace under the nine springs."

  Yitian Yi was silent and didn't speak.

  "I'm asking you, what's going on with Moon Girl?" The old emperor frowned and asked Ye Tianyi seriously, "Don't tell me it was just correspondence. To be able to correspond with you under my nose for five years in the North Territory, it seems I've underestimated her these past few years! What else did she do besides corresponding with you?"

  "Father's hidden guards are all over the world, what can be hidden from Father's eyes? Her correspondence with me is just a secret that I alone have protected. In these years, isn't it clear to Father what she has been doing?" Ye Tianyi raised an eyebrow.

  Yun Qian Yue thought that Ye Tian Yi was still maintaining her. Just as he said, publicly revealing their relationship today was indeed forced by her cold-bloodedness. She turned her head to glance at Rong Jing, seeing his thin lips slightly pursed, unable to discern his emotions. She turned back, continuing to stare at the screen.

  "Don't try to deceive me! With your abilities, from the Tian Sheng to the Northern Border, you can handle the Crown Prince's multiple assassination attempts, but how can you keep a five-year correspondence extremely secret? Not even I have caught wind of it. If this were in the past, I would still believe you, but now, not a single word! Is it because Moon Girl is so incompetent that she has been on your mind for five years? And made Rong Jing willing to spend his life with only her, and not marry anyone else? All these years, I'm afraid I've been played by this little girl under my nose, thinking she's a useless spoiled brat without any redeeming qualities!" The old emperor scowled, "Today, you will tell me the truth!"

  "If all the princes were to abdicate, would Your Majesty grant me and Yuè ér permission to marry?" Yè Tiān Yì looked at the old emperor.

  "Do you still want me to arrange a marriage for you?" The old emperor's face was extremely gloomy, "She doesn't have the slightest thought of you in her heart! Now she is thinking of marrying into the Rong Prince's mansion with all her heart, what use do you have for a woman whose heart is not on you?"

  "The hearts of the empresses of all generations were not on the emperor, but they still lived in Ronghua Palace to give birth to children and continue the royal lineage. It's just that this generation of the emperor didn't want the children of the empress. Thinking about cutting off the four major princes' mansions." Ye Tianyi's words fell, looking at the old emperor raising an eyebrow, "Furthermore, how does Father know her heart is not on me? Her heart may not be today, but it can't guarantee it won't be tomorrow. Tomorrow it may not be, but there will be another day after tomorrow, and one day it will be. That's enough!"

  Yun Qian's heart skipped a beat, Ye Tianyi was about to go crazy!

  Rong Jing's face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

  "You're telling me that you'll only have this one wife in your lifetime and won't marry anyone else?" The old emperor's face turned solemn.

  "This is exactly what I mean!" Yè Tiān Yì showed no fear of the old emperor's gloomy face.

  "Nonsense!" The old emperor was furious, picking up the memorial on the table and throwing it at Ye Tianyi.

  Ye Tian Yi dodged to the side, and the imperial edict fell to the ground with a "slap", landing in the same spot as the previous one that Ye Tian Qing had thrown at him earlier.

  "How dare you hide?" The old emperor glared at Ye Tianyi.

  "Father Emperor is indeed old, and his hands are no longer strong! I, your son, dodged lightly and avoided it! If I could dodge but didn't, wouldn't that be letting Father Emperor tickle me?" Ye Tianyi's voice was calm, with no fluctuations whatsoever.

  "You...!" The old emperor was furious. "Do you want to infuriate me to death? That little girl has already infuriated me, and now you're coming to infuriate me too?"

  "May the Emperor's dragon body be safe and sound, your body is noble, if you were to fall, the sacred mountains and rivers of the world might collapse." Yè Tiān Yì's face remained unchanged, even though he said such treasonous words, it was as ordinary as eating and drinking.

  "You..." The old emperor suddenly stopped being angry and smiled instead, "You truly are a good son of mine!"

  Yitian no longer spoke.

  "That little girl, I won't ask you about her now! But granting you marriage is also impossible! If you have the ability, take her away from Rong Jing's hands yourself. Even if I let the Cloud King's mansion prosper for another hundred years, what does it matter? But if you don't have the ability to take her away, don't blame me for being ruthless and destroying her! If she's not in your hands, I will definitely not spare her!" The old emperor said with a smile, his tone sinking, speaking with majesty. This moment of cold-blooded ruthlessness was worthy of his imperial demeanor in dragon robes.

  Yun Shallow Moon sneered in her heart, ruining her? How to ruin?

  "Father Emperor, you can't harm her!" Ye Tianyi looked at the old emperor, word by word: "I, your son, have returned to the capital. As long as I am here for a day, Father Emperor, don't even think about touching a single hair on her head. Whatever happens to her, I will be the one to decide!"

  "You think you can decide? What makes you think you can decide?" The old emperor glared at Ye Tianyi.

  "Take the sacred rivers and mountains, the imperial mausoleum of the Ye family. Is that enough? If not, there are still the lives of my son and all the other princes." Ye Tianyi met the old emperor's piercing gaze with calm eyes, "If the Ye family were to have no more descendants, the imperial mausoleum would collapse, the rivers and mountains would overturn, can Your Majesty imagine what the outcome would be?"

  "Bastard!" The old emperor slammed his jade desk, trembling with rage. He pointed at Ye Tianyi and roared: "Get out of my sight, get out now!"

  "His Majesty calms his anger, and takes care of the dragon body! The son minister retreats!" Ye Tianyi glanced at the old emperor, turned around and walked out of the imperial study. In a moment, the sound of footsteps faded away.

  The old emperor stared at the swaying bead curtain, listening to Ye Tianyi's footsteps fading away. He suddenly waved his hand and knocked down all the memorials on the jade case. The imperial study room was filled with the sound of crashing objects. His anger unabated, he kicked over the table again, and his angry voice echoed inside and outside the imperial study room, "My good son! Indeed my good son!"
