Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her

Chapter 108: Actually Gambling

After a while, the King of Chu spoke in anger: "Who attacked you?"

Even if Chu Yan was guilty, he had the final say on how to punish him, instead of allowing those people to lynch him.

Chu Yan shook his head: "I don't know. At that time, I was surrounded and severely injured in the valley outside Yanmen Pass. After that, I was unconscious and confused. When I woke up a little, my father had already convicted me."

The King of Chu thought that when he heard the news, he was furious and felt betrayed by the person he loved and trusted the most.

I can't listen to anything at all.

I don't want to hear about his situation.

After he was convicted, I didn't want to ask about his situation over the years.

Ultimately, it's the unwillingness to face such a cruel fact.

"I will not convict you without any basis at all! If there is no irrefutable evidence, would I issue an order to convict you?" The King of Chu's voice was a little cold.

"Since Father has already determined that I am a traitor who is colluding with foreign enemies, why don't you just sentence me to death? Why do you want to keep me alive?"

Chu Yan asked boldly.

In fact, the King of Chu has always been holding on to a glimmer of fantasy over the years, but he has no way to convince himself or his civil and military officials. He is very conflicted.

He has always been very clear in state affairs.

Over the years, the only thing that made him conflicted was Chu Yan's affairs.

"So you blame me in your heart?" The Emperor of Chu finally asked.

"Can I tell the truth, son?"

"explain."

"I blame you. I blame you for not trusting me. I blame you for not even giving me a chance to figure things out. I blame you for not letting me die quickly..." Chu Yan said it truthfully.

His eyes were a little red.

Every word came from the heart, as if he had been holding it in for many years.

The King of Chu also felt unhappy.

Especially the last sentence he said, which deeply hurt his heart.

His Yan'er was once his proudest son, so shining that no one could match him.

With his rebellious character back then, it would be better to die gracefully than to live without dignity.

"I have allowed Lord Mu to re-investigate what happened to you back then."

"If you are really innocent and someone is deliberately framing you, the truth will surely come out one day." Emperor Chu said in a low voice.

Chu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What about Father? Still don't you believe that your son is innocent?"

"I only believe in evidence."

It is said that emperors have always been fickle-hearted, and Chu Yan actually knows this better than anyone else.

At the back of the room.

Shen Yindi and Mu Ningyuan stood side by side.

"Ms. Shen, aren't you worried about Yun Yi at all?" He felt a little anxious.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not worried. No one can figure out what the emperor is thinking. In fact, I'm taking a gamble now." Shen Yindi looked straight ahead, staring at the window they had just come out of.

"Bet?" Mu Ningyuan was a little confused.

"Yes, let's bet on whether the emperor still has feelings for my prince?"

"There was so much so-called evidence back then, and it was ironclad, but the emperor didn't sentence the prince to death, nor did he abolish his title. It seems that there is still some affection."

Mu Ningyuan nodded, that was indeed the case.

I just wonder how this conversation between father and son went?

About an incense stick of time later, Shen Yindi heard someone knocking on the window.

She came over immediately and opened the window.

Chu Yan had already reached the window, still sitting in the wheelchair.

He was the only one left in the room at this time.

"The emperor is gone?"

Chu Yan nodded.

"Then I'll go to the front to see the emperor off. Maybe he has other instructions." Mu Ningyuan immediately went around to the front.

Shen Yindi jumped in through the window as usual, her posture was very agile.

"What did you say to the emperor? Your Highness, please tell me." Shen Yindi came in, pushed Chu Yan to the bedside, and sat down.

It was naturally impossible for Chu Yan to hide it from her.

He told her everything he had said to the Emperor.

After hearing this, Shen Yindi nodded frequently. He was indeed her prince. Even though his body had suffered multiple tortures over the years, his IQ was still online.

"So you also told the Emperor that you would be going back tomorrow?"

"I told you I need to go home and recuperate. It's inconvenient to stay here. If someone sees me, they'll definitely make a fuss about it."

"Father didn't say anything, he just told me to try my best to cure it."

Shen Yindi curled the corners of his mouth.

"Well, this time it depends on how deep the emperor's feelings for you are."

"As for the rest, we can't control it."

It's all about gambling.

"Yes, I know this very well. There are some things that we should never hope for."

"No one is irreplaceable in my father's eyes. Even if he cannot be replaced for the time being, it is only a matter of time." Chu Yan has always been sober.

For example, his mother.

At first, he thought his father loved his mother very much and they had a good relationship. But after his mother passed away, there is now another Concubine Xian by his side. It is said that she is favored as much as his mother was, or even more.

Of course Shen Yindi knew it too.

The King of Chu returned to his palace with a heavy heart.

Duofu followed behind, observing quietly and not daring to say much.

The emperor now lives with Concubine Xian.

Seeing him come back, Empress Xian was very happy. She came out and hugged his arm.

"Your Majesty, I will wait for you to come back for dinner. Thank you for your hard work."

The King of Chu has calmed himself down.

"Is my beloved feeling better?" Emperor Chu asked with concern, holding her hand.

"Your Majesty, I have rested for the whole afternoon and I feel much better now. Are you hungry? Shall we go eat first?"

"it is good."

The next day was the first day of the autumn hunt. The emperor also wore a bright yellow hunting suit, riding on horseback, holding a bow and arrow in his hand.

He is now in his forties. After taking the medicine given to him by Shen Yindi, his health has recovered slightly.

Now I seem to be in good spirits.

The eldest prince, the second prince, and several other princes were also fully armed and followed their father.

Some of the Royal Guards commanders, including Mu Ningyuan, were also present.

Not far away was the viewing platform, where the queen, concubines, and some ministers who were not attending sat.

The emperor will shoot the first arrow later, and then come to hunt. He won't play for too long, and will return to the viewing platform to wait for their prey.

They rode their horses into the forest.

Much of the prey had been laid out in advance.

The King of Chu drew his bow and shot the first arrow, which hit a fleeing deer.

"Your Majesty is very skilled!" The eldest prince and others immediately praised him.

The King of Chu was in a very good mood. He ordered: "You can go too. You don't have to stay around me!"

Following the order from the King of Chu, the others dispersed to look for prey.

Several princes were eager to try and were ready to perform well.

After all, this is a competition.

The King of Chu was not satisfied with just one arrow, so he chose a direction to go. He was accompanied by the commander of the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards.

Soon, the Emperor Chu's attention was attracted by a familiar figure in the distance...
