“Many places, but I’ve been out for quite a while. I need to go back. Visiting other places will have to wait for another time!” Mei Siyu answered somewhat sadly, thinking about how long it might be before she could go out again.
“Then let me escort you back. Might I see you again in the future?” Wen Yue’en said. He had hoped to accompany her to see the beautiful scenery of the capital, but she tactfully declined, leaving him somewhat disappointed.
Don’t be hasty, what’s happening in the prison?” Ming Lengchen countered with a question. Recalling the morning’s heated argument about Third Brother, he was inwardly furious. Why was she pleading for Third Brother? How could she put him in such a situation? She was his consort, yet she dared to say in front of him that Third Brother could choose his own emotional path – wasn’t this clearly suggesting he could openly pursue her? Did she not understand Third Brother’s feelings, or was she deliberately saying this to provoke him?
“Your Majesty, Third Prince is very quiet, with no signs of disturbance. However, the Princess of Wei Ling is about to arrive, and continuing like this seems problematic. This old servant is deeply worried,” Liu Gongong said.
“Hmm, come with me to the death prison,” Ming Lengchen said softly after a moment of contemplation.
“This servant obeys,” Liu Gongong respectfully replied.
He could no longer allow things to develop this way. The woman he loved could not be cared for by anyone, not even his Third Brother. He would absolutely not tolerate it. He must cut off Third Brother’s hopes, force him into submission, and by hook or by crook, push him onto the throne of Wei Ling’s son-in-law, making him completely give up! As for Mei Siyu, regardless of whether she liked Third Brother, he would discipline her, making her understand the Emperor’s authority and power! If he did not do this, he feared she would become increasingly unruly, even daring to refuse the imperial consort position he had bestowed.
Shortly after, they arrived at the deepest part of the death prison, where Ming Lengyu was imprisoned.
