IACF [QT] Chapter 64.5

As a result, Eunuch De Hai said cautiously: “There are no girls of the right age in the side branch either.”

The Emperor really frowned this time and looked at King Rui suspiciously, suspecting that the other party was joking.

Just as King Rui was about to speak, the Emperor suddenly thought of something and his eyebrows jumped, “You, you wouldn’t…”

Back then, the enchanting appearance of the young Duke Anguo not only attracted a group of women, but also some homosexuals, who were said to be secretly coveting him.

The Emperor had the whole world and experienced the secrets of the deep palace. What scenes had he not seen and what things did he not know?

Could it be that his nephew had gotten used to hanging out in the camp and had developed some unspeakable preferences, and had taken a liking to the master of the Duke Anguo’s Mansion?

No, it’s not possible!

“You must not let a man be the princess. How shameful!” The Emperor rebuked him harshly.

Eunuch De Hai lowered his head.

Although King Rui still had no expression, a rare hint of bewilderment appeared in his dark and heavy eyes. “It’s not a man.”

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became amiable again.

As long as it wasn’t a man, it would be fine. Even if she was a little maid in Duke Anguo Mansion and his nephew insisted on marrying her as Duke Anguo’s daughter, he would be able to acquiesce.

King Rui continued, “It’s the sister of Duke Anguo who married into the Shen family.”

The Emperor’s expression froze and he looked solemn. He called out to De Hai, “Do you think I heard it wrong again? What did this brat just say?”

Eunuch De Hai was in such a dilemma that he could only lower his head and said tremblingly, “The King said that it was the sister of Duke Anguo who married into the Shen family.”

“—Asshole!”

The Emperor was furious and raised the memorial in his hand to hit the other party, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it when he saw the expressionless face with drooping eyelids. He could only throw the memorial to the ground fiercely and walked back and forth in the hall like a trapped beast, pointing at King Rui and cursing.

“I think you are blinded by your own greed! You can fall in love with anyone else, but you have to fall in love with someone else’s wife! And you dare to come to me and say this with a shameless face. Do you think I will let you do whatever you want!”

King Rui said nothing and let him get angry, but from his look, it was clear that he was not frightened by the Emperor’s anger. Instead, he looked like that no matter how fierce the thunder and rain were, he would remain unmoved.

When scolding someone, if someone talks back at the same time, then the more he scolds, the more excited he becomes. If someone begs for mercy at the same time, then the more he scolds, the happier he becomes.

But the other person was indifferent, as if he was watching a monkey show.

The Emperor could only scold more and more anxiously.

He couldn’t bear to hit him, and he couldn’t bear to kick him. What else could he do?

He could only cover his chest and almost get angry to death.

Eunuch De Hai hurriedly served tea and said to King Rui while he was comforting the emperor, “Your Highness, please say something.”

King Rui moved his lips and said in a dull voice: “At least, she’s a woman.”

“Puff—” The Emperor spit out the tea as soon as he took a sip.

He waved his hands dejectedly, trying to stop De Hai from wiping the water off him. He felt that he had been pissed off by this bastard, and all his anger had been released. Now he just felt exhausted and powerless.

“Get lost, get lost…” The Emperor waved his hand to turn a blind eye.

King Rui was still about to speak, but De Hai winked at him. He looked at his uncle who was leaning on the dragon chair and finally withdrew.

There was silence in the hall. After a long time, the Emperor sighed.

Eunuch De Hai racked his brains, trying to persuade the Emperor not to rush and to calm down first. Maybe after a few days, King Rui would change his mind again.

The Emperor said, “This bastard has been spoiled by the Empress Dowager. He does whatever he wants. He doesn’t even think about the fact that she is the wife of a court official. If he just snatches her away to be his princess, will the officials be chilled? What will the people do if they find out? I don’t think he has thought about these things at all.”

“Your Highness is young, so it is inevitable that he will be impulsive—”

“Forget it. Go and check secretly to see how the sister of Duke Anguo is doing in the Shen family. If she is not satisfied, I will not bear to watch the descendants of meritorious officials suffer. I will grant them a divorce.”

“…Yes.” Eunuch De Hai swallowed his words of persuasion silently.

*****

The author has something to say:

Emperor: This bastard! Forget it, just marry her.
