At the same time, in the palace, the Emperor was lecturing King Rui: “Now you are happy, I will do whatever you say. Logically speaking, if the late Duke Anguo was still here, it would be fine. Now, there is really no one in Duke Anguo’s Mansion who can support the facade, and it is not worthy of your status as a king. But you insist on your own way. For the sake of your father, I will only allow it this time, but it will not happen next time.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” King Rui said, but there was not much joy in his expression.
The Emperor hummed indifferently and then said: “But for a while, you should restrain yourself and stop blocking people at the door of other people’s houses. You can afford to lose face, but I can’t.”
When the Emperor thought of this nephew, who not only coveted another person’s wife but also had the audacity to block another person’s doors, he felt a throbbing pain in his forehead.
No matter how impatient a person was, he wouldn’t be so anxious. As a king, couldn’t he have a little dignity?
He started talking about the same old things again: “After getting married, you should settle down. Don’t think about leaving the capital for no reason. Stay at home to accompany the princess, go to the palace to pay respects to Empress Dowager, and give me a nephew. These are the serious things to do.”
King Rui listened silently, his voice going in one ear and out the other. When the Emperor finished speaking, he added, “Uncle Emperor is right.”
He sounded very obedient, but the way he stood there, with that figure and that aura, he didn’t look like the kind of person who would be obedient.
It was obvious that he was just being perfunctory.
The Emperor was so thirsty that his mouth was dry. He didn’t want to waste the ambergris, so he had to wave his hand and let him go.
Out of sight, out of mind.
After he left, the Emperor asked Eunuch De Hai: “Have you explained everything to Duke Anguo?”
“Yes, I have explained it clearly.”
The Emperor nodded.
All that was left was to wait for the palace banquet for the Emperor’s birthday.
In the past, the Emperor was impatient to listen to the eunuchs’ reports about which mansion had sent something, but now for the sake of King Rui, he had to pretend.
Even if the Su Mansion presented a steamed bun, he would still praise it and give some gifts to show his appreciation.
And King Rui, who had just promised the Emperor that he would not block the person again, heard from his subordinates that Su Yi had been blocked by his people in an alley just after leaving the Su Mansion.
He didn’t lie to the Emperor because this time he didn’t block the person at the door of the Shen family.
The same experience as last time, so this time even Qing Lian was much calmer, not to mention Su Yi.
She stepped out of the sedan chair and saw that the dark man from last time was still hiding by the wall, and King Rui was still walking in slowly from the entrance of the alley.
Without waiting for the other party to get close, Su Yi took the initiative to greet him, “I know everything the King did.”
King Rui looked at her with dark eyes.
Su Yi could feel from the aura around this guy that he was in a good mood at the moment, and maybe he was still thinking: Let’s see what reasons you have now.
She said: “Since the King is determined to do so, I can only agree, but I have a few conditions.”
“You say.” King Rui said.
Su Yi spoke in a low voice, making sure that only the two of them could hear: “Your Highness should know that with my status, I shouldn’t fight. I don’t know why Your Highness is not curious, but this matter cannot be known to others. So, if you want to fight me later, you have to choose a place away from people’s eyes.”
King Rui nodded, “There is a martial arts field in the palace, and we can clear out the others.”
“That’s fine.”
Su Yi thought to herself. This guy is a king after all, so she can’t beat him openly, otherwise, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will know and will definitely not sit idly by.
Find a deserted place, beat him up, and then make an agreement between them that if he loses, he must not tell anyone. She is sure that this guy will be beaten for the rest of his life and no one will know.
“What kind of weapon do you usually use?” King Rui asked.
“Weapons?”
Su Yi raised her hands and said with a smile, “These two things are enough.”
Her hands could truly be described as slender jade fingers. It was soft and boneless, as white as jade carvings, and as soft as white jade tofu cooked in brine. A touch of nail polish on her fingertips swayed slightly with her movements, as if it could touch someone’s heart.
King Rui’s eyes stayed on her hands for a while and then nodded: “Very good.”
Su Yi smiled, like teasing a cat, her fingertips brushing across his resolute chin, “Then, we’ll see you someday, Your Majesty.”
After saying that, she turned and left.
The Old Seventh squatted in the corner, watching the person walk away, while their King was still standing.
He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: This number was too far apart. He was hooked away after just one move. At least, he could have been hooked a few more times.
Come back to your senses, my King!

The author has something to say:
Male lead: I’m not talking nonsense. I’m just wondering how strong those hands are, that’s it.
