Chu Han walked forward, ignoring his father-in-law's obstruction outside the royal study, and rushed in directly.
"Father, please take back your order! I will not marry Princess Minghui!" He knelt directly in front of Emperor Zhaochu, his voice sonorous and powerful.
Emperor Zhaochu's face suddenly darkened and he reprimanded: "Lao Wu, what do you want to do? This is the Imperial Study Room! You just barged in like this, do you take me seriously?"
"My son broke into the royal study trespassing, please punish me. I will not complain at all! But please take back the marriage proposal!" Chu Han's face did not change, his back straight.
Emperor Zhaochu narrowed his cold eyes and said with a strong chill in his voice, "Do you think I dare not punish you? Come here!"
"Father, calm down." Chu Yue spoke immediately upon seeing this, with sincere kindness on his face, "Fifth brother accidentally bumped into father because he was in a hurry. Fifth brother never did it on purpose."
"Old man, if you try to persuade me again, I will punish you too!" Emperor Zhaochu's cold eyes were sullen and his thunder was furious.
Chu Yue quickly silenced himself, a sneer flashing in his eyes.
"Come here, King Han breaks into the imperial study without permission. He will be punished with twenty pieces of fine!" Emperor Zhaochu gave the order, and the guards immediately came in and took Chu Han out.
Chu Han stood up and retreated without hesitation, his eyes still glowing with determination.
Soon, the sound of banging boards came from outside, and the imperial study became silent. The coldness in Emperor Zhaochu's eyes never retreated.
Chu Han is too presumptuous! How dare he threaten him like Xie Yao? This couple is so brave!
After a while, Chu Han returned to the imperial study with a strange gait, and knelt upright in front of Emperor Zhaochu again, "My son has been punished, please take back his life!"
That firm and uncompromising voice made Emperor Zhaochu's brows jump, and the chill in his pupils became even more intense.
Seeing this, Chu Yue took the initiative to persuade him, with a sincere tone, "Fifth brother, please stop contradicting your father! You should listen to my advice and don't do anything with your father. My father has worked very hard for your affairs. You must not
You have failed your father’s wishes!”
Chu Han glanced at Chu Yue, his deep black eyes making it impossible to see anything through, "Eighth brother, this is my king's private matter and has nothing to do with you!"
Chu Yue's expression froze and he hesitated to speak. Finally he sighed and said no more.
"Father, Shangguan Yue caused such a big incident. Although it has come to an end, it has only just passed. Yu Wen is still here. It is inappropriate to let my son marry a new man at this time. Moreover, my son also said before that he is not interested in Ming Hui.
The princess has no intention, does not want, and will not marry Princess Minghui." Chu Han spoke to Emperor Zhaochu again.
Emperor Zhaochu had an angry look on his face and a cold tone, "Lao Wu, you should know that as a prince, you are destined not to make all decisions by yourself! You must consider the entire royal family, and for
Consider the entire Wanqi Kingdom!"
"If it's just for yourself, it would be too selfish."
Chu Han frowned, and the aura around him was cold.
Emperor Zhaochu thought that Chu Han had listened to his persuasion, so he softened his tone and said, "In this regard, you have to learn from Lao Ba. He did not seek to seize the Pingdong Hou Mansion for his own personal gain of making the residence closer to the palace.
residence. Instead, we temporarily gave up the plan to move the residence and waited quietly."
"I know that the reason why you don't marry Princess Minghui is because of Xie Yao. You can definitely marry Princess Minghui back first, and then make a decision after careful consideration."
Chu Han's voice was firm, "Thank you for your kindness, father. I don't have to think about it. I don't want to marry Princess Minghui not because of Xie Yao, but because of my own reasons."
"Lao Wu!" Emperor Zhaochu scolded angrily, "My imperial edict of marriage has been issued, and you still want to resist it!"
"I don't dare." Chu Han's expression remained unchanged, his eyes cold.
"Don't you dare?" Emperor Zhaochu was already furious at this time. How could he have such a rebellious son! "If you dare to resist and disobey the decree, I will not only punish you, but also Concubine Jing and Xie Yao.
If you want to apologize, you'd better think it through for me!"
Chu Han's brows suddenly furrowed, "If any of my sons offends my father, please only punish one of my sons. Don't anger them."
Emperor Zhaochu was furious and pointed at Chu Han and accused: "If you dare to disobey the imperial edict, they will be guilty of an unforgivable crime! One is lax in discipline and the other is jealous! If you don't punish him well, other princes will imitate you and resist."
If you don’t obey the decree, wouldn’t it mean that everything will be overturned?”
Chu Han frowned and said nothing, his expression downcast.
"Fifth brother, why don't you know your blessings even though you are blessed? Princess Minghui is a very important princess in the Nanling Kingdom. If you marry her, you will have the entire Nanling Kingdom supporting you. How majestic this is.
Ah!" Chu Yue persuaded again.
Chu Han glanced at Chu Yue coldly, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Chu Yue waved his hand and took a step back, "Fifth brother, there is no need to look at me like this. I have no ill intentions and really want to help fifth brother."
"If the fifth brother really did not marry Princess Minghui because of the fifth sister-in-law, then I will go to the fifth sister-in-law and tell her. Having three wives and four concubines is a very normal thing in ordinary people's homes, not to mention that the fifth brother is a prince?
"
"If the fifth sister-in-law can't even accept a woman, in my opinion, she is indeed not qualified to be Princess Han. It would be better to let Princess Minghui be the princess of Han, and the fifth sister-in-law be my concubine."
After finishing speaking, Chu Yue clearly felt that the breath around Chu Han was colder, and the chill in his eyes was stronger, but he still had no intention of stopping, "Father, I have a suggestion, why don't you summon the fifth sister-in-law into the imperial study room?"
, and question her face to face. If she agrees, that’s fine. If she doesn’t, she will be expelled from the royal family on the spot, and the fifth brother will no longer have any ties."
"King Yue, you'd better know what you're talking about!" Chu Han warned, his face as dark as water.
"Fifth brother! You are possessed! You actually gave up Princess Minghui because of fifth sister-in-law! You are so irrational!" Chu Yue also raised his voice.
"I have said that my rejection of Princess Minghui is my own intention and has nothing to do with anyone else!" Chu Han said in a loud voice.
Chu Yue shook his head vigorously and said with a stern voice, "Fifth Brother, you are wrong! Now all the enemy countries on the border are ready to move, and there is a possibility of sending troops at any time! If you marry Princess Minghui, Wanqi Kingdom and Nanling Kingdom will become allies, enough to deter other countries.
Avoid this disaster!"
"Is Fifth Brother going to put the people in dire straits for his own selfish gain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and disappeared immediately.
Chu Han's eyes were deep, and the coldness that held them made people's hearts tremble. He was about to speak, but Emperor Zhaochu suddenly said in a cold voice: "Lao Wu, I have made up my mind about the marriage, and there is no need to discuss it any further! Hurry up!
Go back to Prince Han's Mansion and prepare for the wedding."
Chu Han's cold eyes suddenly darkened, and his face instantly darkened.
