Chapter 118 Su Yinhan is here
Princess Anyang looked at Zhou Yuan as if she were looking through him at her queen, her eyes filled with venom. "Zhou Yuan, I curse you to never have the one you love most in this lifetime."
Upon seeing this, the emperor rebuked, "Enough! The matter is clear. Regent, what do you have to say about this?"
Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, "Regardless of the circumstances, Princess Anyang's feigned madness and deceived everyone; she deserves to be punished."
The Emperor said, "Prime Minister Li has failed to properly educate his daughter; he shall be fined one year's salary. Princess Anyang has been stripped of her title; relying on her age of thirty, she shall be confined to her quarters for one year. Regent, what do you think of this?"
The emperor looked at the regent, one being his empress, the other his younger brother. The emperor was in a dilemma, wanting to remain impartial.
The Empress was still satisfied with the Emperor's punishment. Prime Minister Li was spared.
But hearing that last sentence made her heart leap into her throat. She was terrified that the Regent would hold onto Prime Minister Li. If that were the case, there was nothing she could do.
Zhou Yuan remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "It is all up to Your Majesty to decide. Your subject has no objections."
Those present breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was over.
Princess Anyang was the only one who wanted to argue, but she was dragged away by the guards.
A hint of displeasure flashed across the Empress's face, but she had no choice but to give up.
Prime Minister Li stood there, his back drenched in cold sweat, knowing full well that he was on the verge of danger.
Su Yinyin and Lao Yi walked out of the palace road, still feeling quite unsatisfied. Lao Yi suddenly drew his sword, but Su Yinyin stopped him.
Su Yinyin said, "Don't be nervous."
Zhou Yuan appeared before Su Yinyin and Lao Yi, smiling as he asked, "Yinyin, are you satisfied with the result for Princess Anyang?"
Su Yinyin's act of sneaking into the palace to peek led Zhou Yuan to mistakenly believe that Su Yinyin cared about him. Therefore, he was very happy.
Su Yinyin said coldly, "Whether you're satisfied with the result or not, you should ask yourself!"
Seeing that Su Yinyin was so cold to him, Zhou Yuan stepped forward to grab Su Yinyin's hand, but was stopped by Lao Yi. His outstretched hand could only hang in mid-air: "Yinyin, can't you be a little more enthusiastic towards me?"
Su Yinyin replied, "That's how I treat ordinary friends."
Zhou Yuan looked at Su Yinyin's face with heartache: "Yinyin, why did things turn out like this? Weren't we doing so well before?"
Su Yinyin closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and when she opened them again, she said, "You said it was before, but I'll say it again now: we can't be together. I'll take the son with me. Destroy the jade tablet that signifies my status as a princess, and annul the marriage. Remember, don't read the imperial decree."
Zhou Yuan's face darkened: "Yinyin, this child is my bloodline. How can you be so heartless? Can't you let the child have a complete family?"
Su Yinyin sneered: "When you and your mother hurt me, why didn't you say you were heartless? Why didn't you say you were indecisive? Don't pretend to be sympathetic here now."
"And don't bring up the children. If you want to see the children, you're welcome anytime!" After saying that, he pulled the old man and turned to leave.
Zhou Yuan flashed and stood in front of the two of them: "Yinyin, as long as you give me another chance, I will definitely protect you."
Su Yinyin's eyes were full of mockery: "Your mother tried to assassinate me twice. If I were someone who couldn't protect myself, I would have died at your mother's hands."
When you found out, what did you do? My feelings for you are dead. Let's each go our separate ways.
Zhou Yuan frowned, looked at Su Yinyin, and finally gritted his teeth: "Yinyin, I will definitely beg for your forgiveness." After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching his departing figure, Su Yinyin murmured to herself, "In this world, there's no turning back, no medicine for regret."
Then he quickly left with the old man.
After returning home, Prime Minister Li knew that he had to be of one mind with the Empress in order to ensure the dynasty's continued prosperity. So he carefully prepared lavish gifts and went to the inner palace, where a new power struggle was about to begin.
When Su Yinyin and Lao Yi returned to the Su residence, it was already past midnight. In ancient times, there were few forms of entertainment. Everyone in the villa was already in bed.
Seeing the quiet villa, Su Yinyin tiptoed upstairs to her room. Just then, the lights came on. "Miss Su, you're back," came Bixia's voice.
Because the old lady lived in a villa, Su Yinyin arranged for Bixia to stay in the room next to the old lady's, so that she could take better care of her.
Bixia had good hearing and heard the door open. She knew it was Su Yinyin returning. Bixia quickly got up, wanting to ask if there was anything she could do.
"Bixia, why aren't you back yet?" Su Yinyin patted her chest. She was indeed a little frightened.
Bixia asked happily, "When I heard the door open, I knew it was Miss returning. So I wanted to ask Miss what you would like to eat?"
Su Yinyin waved her hand and said, "You've been busy all day, you must be tired. Go to sleep early. Make yourself whatever you want to eat."
After Su Yinyin finished speaking, she was about to go upstairs. After taking a few steps, she stopped, turned around and said, "I've been very tired these past two days. Unless it's something important, don't disturb my sleep. But you must wake me up for lunch, as I have things to do this afternoon."
After giving his instructions, he went upstairs by himself.
Back on the second floor, Su Yinyin went to the baby's room first. Seeing that the baby was sleeping soundly, she returned to her own room reassured.
Su Yinyin returned to her room. After locking the doors and windows, she disappeared from the room.
Once inside the space, Su Yinyin finally felt relaxed.
Su Yinyin immersed herself in the spiritual spring to relieve her fatigue.
After soaking in the spiritual spring, I felt refreshed and full of energy, as if I had come back to life.
I cooked myself a bowl of noodles, prepared drinks and fruit, and picked up a book to read while I ate.
It was noon the next day. Bixia knocked on Su Yinyin's door. A moment later, Su Yinyin opened it. Judging from her appearance, she had just woken up.
Bixia was already used to it. "Miss, hurry up and wash up, then come down for lunch."
Su Yinyin gave a muffled reply and then closed the door.
Today, Su Yinyin was dressed as a man again. Everyone present was used to it. Even the old lady had no objections.
Seeing Su Yinyin put down her chopsticks, Lao Yi, who had just left, said to Su Yinyin, "Miss, the person has arrived."
Su Yinyin stood up, pushed back her chair, greeted her with a "Hmm." Then she said to her elder, "Grandmother, I have something to do this afternoon, so I can't keep you company. But I will try my best to come back and have dinner with you."
Su Yinyin sat in the carriage driven by the eldest son. Today, she had the fifth son protect them at the villa. Alternatively, they could have someone go out themselves, accompanied by either the fifth son or Biyu.
A short while later, the carriage pulled into the Divine Healer's Pavilion. Before Su Yinyin alighted from the carriage, she put on her mask. The mask was unique and could not be imitated by anyone.
After Su Yinyin got off the carriage, the old man disappeared from her sight.
The healer's ward had been waiting for a long time. "Healer, the patient has arrived."
As Su Yinyin walked, she asked, "Hmm, did she come alone, or...?"
"Prince Yong'an accompanied her."
