Volume 1_Chapter 42: Eunuch Ji, can I resist the decree?

Yun Qiyue was full of wariness, but she didn't change her expression, meeting Xuanyuan Kun's gaze, waiting for Xuanyuan Kun's moves.

It's just that the result was destined to disappoint Yun Qiyue.

Just when Yun Qiyue thought Xuanyuan Kun was going to say something, Xuanyuan Kun waved his hand at Yun Qiyue, "Forget it, I'm tired, you should retreat first."

Yun Qiyue: "?"

Just this?

Such an ending seemed to have too little expectation value.

Even if Yun Qiyue had full suspicion, she couldn't pry open the emperor's mouth at this time, so she had to bow in a non-standard way and turn to walk out.

But she didn't know that when she left the Imperial Study, Xuanyuan Kun took out the imperial edict placed on the side, and decisively stamped it on the content he had already written...

After leaving the Imperial Study, Yun Qiyue didn't have the treatment she had when she entered the palace.

Without the soft sedan chair, she could only let the palace maid lead the way and walk towards the palace gate by herself.

She didn't feel it when she was carried, but she only knew that the Imperial Study was really far from the palace gate when she walked away.

And all the way, Yun Qiyue was thinking about the Emperor's abnormal behavior.

Calling her into the palace with such great fanfare, it couldn't just be to question her about thanking the grace, right?

If it were like this, then how boring would this emperor be?

If it wasn't like this, then what was the Emperor's purpose?

Moreover, before letting herself retreat, the Emperor clearly looked like he was going to do something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Intuition told her that there would definitely be something bad waiting for her, especially the closer she got to the palace gate, the more her eyelids jumped.

After leaving the palace gate, the carriage that picked up Yun Qiyue to the Imperial Palace was gone, and only Qing Yan was waiting at the palace gate.

Seeing Yun Qiyue come out, Qing Yan immediately greeted her, "Young Mistress."

Qing Yan didn't say anything, but there was obvious worry in her eyes.

"I'm fine, let's go back first."

Going back, naturally, she had to walk.

But fortunately, the Imperial Palace was not very far from the General's Mansion, and it took more than half an hour to walk there.

It's just that from afar, Yun Qiyue saw the familiar person standing in front of the General's Mansion, and the bad premonition she had when she left the palace became even more intense.

"Third Young Mistress Yun, we meet again."

Seeing Yun Qiyue approach, Eunuch Ji greeted with a smile.

That's right, the person standing at the gate of the General's Mansion was precisely Eunuch Ji and a group of Imperial Guards and palace maids and eunuchs.

They were all not empty-handed, more or less holding trays or boxes, looking like they were here to reward.

Such a battle formation had long attracted many onlookers.

And just as Eunuch Ji's voice fell, the gate of the Hou Mansion next door opened, and the masters of the Yun family who were neatly dressed all hurried over upon hearing the news.

Yun Qiyue glanced, but didn't see Yun Yarou.

"Eunuch Ji came again, did something happen?"

It was the Old Madam who spoke; looking at her complexion, she should have recovered well after not seeing Yun Qiyue for a few hours, but because she saw Eunuch Ji, there was a trace of unease between her expressions, fearing that Yun Qiyue would say something she shouldn't say in the palace regardless of anything.

It was just that after asking, the Old Madam's gaze swept to the trays and red wooden boxes held by those palace maids and eunuchs, and while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

This scene, one could see at a glance that it was a reward.

This little hoof Yun Qiyue, where did she get such good luck to be so favored by the Emperor?

At this time, everyone in the Yun family basically had this idea, except for Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue didn't feel that she had a face that deserved a reward, so she felt that these rewards must not be simple.

Eunuch Ji didn't answer the Old Madam's question, but took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his wide sleeves, and said with a smile, "Since everyone is here, let's announce the decree!"

Hearing that he was going to announce the decree again, whether it was the onlookers or the Yun family, they knelt down and shouted 'Long live the Emperor'.

Except for Yun Qiyue.

And Eunuch Ji had long heard about Yun Qiyue's attitude towards the imperial edict, thinking that the Emperor didn't blame Yun Qiyue, so he didn't care about Yun Qiyue's slight disrespect, just pretended not to see it, and unfolded the imperial edict in his hand:

"By the grace of heaven, the Emperor's edict says: Today, Yun Qiyue, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, is intelligent and has an outstanding appearance..."

Hearing those idioms praising Yun Qiyue, let alone the onlookers, even Yun Qiyue herself was full of black lines.

She felt that those praising words were forcibly placed on her, as if it were a big joke.

So, was the Emperor blind, or was the Emperor stupid?

Everyone's various complaints in their hearts, naturally, were not mentioned one by one.

It was just that when everyone heard the follow-up content read by Eunuch Ji, they all couldn't be calm.

"I specially bestow Yun Qiyue to the current Regent Ye Lanjue as the legitimate princess, this is the decree."

Just, a bunch of modifiers, and then another sentence of bestowing marriage, and the object of the bestowing marriage was the current Regent.

This content suddenly exploded everyone into a mess.

The scene was silent for a while.

Bestowing marriage? And bestowing marriage to the Regent?

Wasn't Yun Qiyue the Crown Prince's fiancée?

Hearing the content of the imperial edict, Yun Qiyue also felt a sense of suffocation.

Eunuch Ji looked at her with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Third Young Mistress Yun, Third Young Mistress Yun, please accept the decree quickly."

"Eunuch, are you sure you're not teasing me?" Yun Qiyue looked at Eunuch Ji with suspicion.

Her, and the Regent?

They were two people who couldn't be reached by eight poles, right?

And her engagement with the Crown Prince hadn't been dissolved yet, and she was bestowed to the Regent; was the imperial bestowing of marriage so casual?

Seeing Yun Qiyue's expression, a trace of pity flashed in Eunuch Ji's eyes, but he still answered with a smile, "How would I dare to tease Third Young Mistress Yun? Third Young Mistress Yun, please accept the decree quickly, I still have to return to the palace to report."

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue knew that Eunuch Ji was really not teasing her, but she still wanted to struggle to the death, "Eunuch Ji, can I resist the decree?"

Although that man Ye Lanjue looked quite powerful, smart people would subconsciously avoid risks; she just felt that Ye Lanjue was very dangerous and wanted to stay far away.

The dog emperor really had no good intentions!

Eunuch Ji: "Third Young Mistress Yun, don't joke."

Finally, Yun Qiyue accepted the decree.

She couldn't bear the consequences of resisting the decree.

She could walk away and be unrestrained in the rivers and lakes, but what about so many people in the General's Mansion!

After Eunuch Ji completed the task, he let people move the Emperor's rewards into the General's Mansion, and then happily returned to the palace to report.

In front of the General's Mansion, it fell into an unprecedented silence for a time.

Then, it was Yun Yaxiang of the third branch of the Yun family who couldn't hold back, stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to Third Sister, for finding a satisfactory husband."

Yun Qiyue saw that there was only three parts of envy in Yun Yaxiang's eyes, and the remaining seven parts were all gloating.

Wait, why gloat?

The young and powerful Regent shouldn't be the object that all famous ladies are scrambling to marry?

With such doubts, Yun Qiyue scanned the others.

It was also at this time that Yun Qiyue realized that except for those people in the Yun family who were gloating, all the passers-by onlookers were looking at her with pity.

Even Qing Yan and Xixue beside her were all looking worried at this moment.

This, why were they all like this?

Could it be that she ignored something? ===== CHAPTER 43 =====
