The Emperor listened in silence for a moment, still as a statue, his eyes glinting with a coldness that seemed capable of freezing the air around him. "I will not allow Qingyu to marry Ling Jing; he shouldn't even think about it. How could my daughter be subjected to such humiliation?"
His tone was resolute, as hard as steel, leaving no room for doubt, and his gaze reflected a fierce determination to protect his daughter.
Chen Hai quickly echoed the Emperor's sentiments. "Your Majesty is wise. The Eldest Princess does not seem inclined to form an alliance with the Ling Family; it seems she is unwilling in her heart as well."
The Emperor sighed, a sound filled with helplessness, his brows furrowed tightly together as if burdened by unsolvable worries. "Consort Duan is also being foolish. She knows I dislike concubines using their daughters' marriages as bargaining chips, yet she still dares to test my limits."
Disappointment flickered in his eyes, revealing his dissatisfaction with Consort Duan's actions, mingled with a sense of offended anger.
Chen Hai felt a jolt of alarm; he understood the complexities of the harem well. A careless word could ignite disaster. He quickly said, "Your Majesty must be overthinking it. Consort Duan likely has no such intentions; perhaps there has been some misunderstanding."
The Emperor rubbed his temples, fingers gently massaging the area as he spoke in a somber tone. "Whether she has such intentions or not, she knows in her heart."
"However, the Ling Family has held military power for long enough."
The Emperor's words carried weight, his gaze deepening with hidden meaning, shrouded in endless secrets. Chen Hai felt a pang of anxiety; he understood the stakes involved and lowered his head in silence, afraid to speak further.
The Emperor's thoughts were unfathomable, beyond what he could presume. Even if His Majesty intended to send a warning to the Ling Family, it was not something he could casually interject into.
In this court where fortunes shifted like clouds, one misstep could lead to irreparable consequences. His body trembled slightly, filled with trepidation.
At that moment, an announcement came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Princess Consort has arrived."
The sound echoed through the palace, breaking the original silence.
"Your Majesty, Princess Consort has arrived."
The eunuch's sharp voice pierced the stillness like an arrow.
The Emperor, lost in thought, showed a hint of surprise. He raised his head slightly, a flicker of unexpectedness in his eyes, leaning forward a bit. "She came quite quickly; let her in!"
Yun Qingyu stepped steadily into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, each step seeming to measure the palace's majesty. Her expression was calm, her gaze as tranquil as water.
Upon entering the hall, she slightly bowed in greeting, her movements graceful yet respectful, her body bending slightly like an elegant swan. "Father."
The Emperor looked at Yun Qingyu, struggling to suppress his complex emotions. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he tried to keep his tone gentle. "Qingyu, Yiling had an incident on the mountain outside. I heard she has been rambling on and on. Consort Lu mentioned that she went up the mountain with you. I want to ask you what exactly happened."
Yun Qingyu responded with indifference, her eyes betraying no emotion. "Father, you should summon Lu Mingzhan and those noble youths from the royal family to ask them as well; things are not as Consort Lu described."
Upon hearing her tone, the Emperor realized there was indeed more to the story. He furrowed his brow, forming a shallow crease between his brows. "Lu Mingzhan and the noble youths?"
