Chapter 371 You go back first, okay?
The emperor had just closed his eyes and rested for a while when he suddenly heard Eunuch Su calling him, so he opened his eyes.
Looking out the window, it was already daybreak.
It must have snowed all night, so it was very bright outside at this hour.
Is it time for the morning court already?
The emperor sat up and said, "Change clothes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Su responded quickly and followed the others in.
Arriving before the emperor, Eunuch Su hurriedly ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to help the emperor wash and dress...
As the emperor dressed, he pretended to glance outside casually: "Where is that rebellious son?"
Eunuch Su stayed up all night, but as he was old, he couldn't endure it any longer.
Hearing the emperor's question, he immediately knelt before the emperor with a plop, his eyes red, and trembling, he said with reluctance: "Your Majesty, His Highness... He is almost frozen."
"It snowed all night outside, and the wind was strong. Your Highness was wearing thin clothes. I went to check on him several times. His face was frozen purple, and his lips were bloodless... His wounds were also cracked, and the blood that seeped from his sleeves had frozen into ice."
Eunuch Su's words were exaggerated and sounded very emotional.
Eunuch Su wiped his tears and said in a helpless yet distressed tone, "Your Majesty, if you kneel down again... I'm afraid something bad will happen. I'm numb."
The emperor listened to the howling north wind outside the window, and even in the warm Yangxin Palace, he couldn't help shivering.
The emperor had a cold face and could not help but snorted: "Since he is so cold, he doesn't know how to beg for mercy. It seems that he still doesn't know what he is doing wrong."
Eunuch Su hurriedly gave the emperor a way out and said, "Your Highness is a bit stubborn, Your Majesty...why not change the punishment? Let Your Highness go first, and punish him however you want."
"It's almost the end of the year, and it would be bad if something happened."
"From what I can see, His Highness knows he's wrong, but he's afraid that Your Majesty is still angry and doesn't dare to admit his mistake!"
The emperor snorted coldly, glanced at Eunuch Su, and said, "Don't think I don't know you're pleading for him. That kid is very stubborn. Let him suffer a little outside, and I'll see if he'll give in."
Eunuch Su wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not! Don't you know how filial your highness is to you? Your highness cares about you the most. When your majesty was seriously ill, only the Seventh Prince was so anxious to show his filial piety to your majesty that he didn't think of anything else."
"I have seen all of this."
"Your Majesty, you know that yourself."
The emperor's eyes darkened for a moment, then he turned to look at Eunuch Su without saying a word.
After a while, the emperor finished washing up, had a simple breakfast, and then left the Yangxin Palace to attend court.
When he went out, he glanced at Lu Huaiyang.
He knelt by the eaves. The wind was blowing and snowflakes were still falling. Half of Lu Huaiyang's body and back were covered with snow.
If I kneel down any further, I'm afraid I'll be buried in the snow, and it's possible I'll freeze to death.
The emperor didn't want to pay attention to Lu Huaiyang, but when he passed by him and looked at his straight back, he became angry again.
He snorted lightly, looked at him coldly and said, "Do you know you are wrong?"
Lu Huaiyang's eyes moved, and he looked towards the emperor, his voice hoarse: "Your son knows his mistake!"
The emperor was delighted when he heard him say this, but he suppressed his joy and looked at Lu Huaiyang with pretended dignity: "Are you willing to listen to my suggestion?"
Lu Huaiyang moved and kowtowed to the emperor: "I don't want to disappoint the princess."
The moment he kowtowed, the snow and wind on his body could not melt for a while.
The snow on his body seemed to have frozen and didn't fall off at all.
"well."
The emperor flung his sleeves and walked away angrily: "Then keep kneeling!"
The more he looked, the angrier the emperor became.
The more he asked, the angrier the emperor became.
As soon as the emperor left, Lu Huaiyang straightened his back again, and knelt there without saying a word.
Eunuch Su looked at the emperor who was walking away, then looked at Lu Huaiyang who was kneeling there. He was speechless for a moment. He cried out, stomped his feet, and went to chase the emperor again.
"Hold on, Your Majesty. The ground is slippery. If you fall, you'll have to watch out for yourself." Eunuch Su chased after him, watching the emperor's receding figure and cursing behind his back.
The emperor didn't get a good rest last night and was in a bad mood. When he went to court, he scolded several people.
When the court was about to end, the emperor glanced to the side and saw Eunuch Su pacing back and forth anxiously. He knew that something must be wrong with him.
The emperor was also a little absent-minded, and he was in a bad mood. The New Year was approaching, and the ministers standing below did not dare to say anything. It seemed that there was nothing to report.
"If nothing else, let's leave the court."
The emperor stood up and was about to leave.
Eunuch Su hurried forward and shouted "Dismiss the court", then helped the emperor walk to the back.
After walking a few steps and no longer being able to hear the voices of the ministers, the emperor asked, "What's the matter? You seem so agitated."
Eunuch Su followed behind the emperor and said hurriedly, "Nothing can be hidden from your Majesty's eyes."
"What's the matter? Tell me." The emperor rubbed his eyebrows as he walked.
Eunuch Su hurriedly took two steps and caught up with the emperor: "Your Majesty, the virtuous princess has entered the palace."
"Oh?" When the emperor heard this, his face darkened and he turned to look at Eunuch Su.
Eunuch Su hurriedly said, "Your Highness didn't come home last night, and Princess Xian was so worried that she didn't sleep the whole night."
"I came to the palace early this morning. I first visited Concubine Cen, and then came to the Yangxin Palace."
The emperor said nothing, just snorted coldly.
Eunuch Su continued, "Then Princess Xian came to the Yangxin Palace. Seeing Your Highness kneeling, she knelt with him as well!"
The emperor felt a headache after hearing this. He rubbed his eyebrows and said nothing more.
His pace towards the Yangxin Palace only became slightly faster.
After a while, they arrived at the Yangxin Palace.
Seeing the two of them kneeling side by side, Ye Nanyue wanted to wrap her cloak around Lu Huaiyang, but Lu Huaiyang refused.
With his body and limbs somewhat stiff, he moved to the side and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't give it to me. I'm all frozen. Don't get your cloak wet."
Although his voice was hoarse, it was gentle.
One can tell from his words that he cares a lot about Ye Nanyue.
The emperor stood there without moving, and the palace servants behind him were waiting, not daring to breathe.
Ye Nanyan sighed and said, "It's already this late, and you're still worried about my cloak. Do you know how worried I was when you didn't come home all night? I feel sorry for you too."
Lu Huaiyang looked at Ye Nanyue and smiled bitterly: "I know that my father is angry with me. It's fine for me to be punished alone. There is no need for two people to suffer together."
"Would you please go back first?"
