In the middle of the night, it rained heavily and the lightning and thunder seemed to tear the entire sky apart.

Ling Chenyu knelt outside the hall, like a sculpture, letting the rain wash over his body, but he did not move.

The old emperor was awakened by thunder in his dream. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and called Eunuch Yu.

"That rebellious son, is he still kneeling outside?" the old emperor asked with some displeasure.

Eunuch Yu bent his waist and answered carefully: "Your Majesty, yes, His Royal Highness Prince Chen is still kneeling outside."

The old emperor frowned and moved his quilt upwards, as if trying to avoid the sound of wind and rain outside the window.

He closed his eyes, not seeming to take it too seriously.

"Go and ask him what he is doing?" the old emperor said impatiently.

Eunuch Yu nodded and retreated cautiously.

He walked outside the hall and looked at Ling Chenyu's soaked figure, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a while, Eunuch Yu returned to the hall and knelt beside the bed to report.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Chen said..." Eunuch Yu paused, seeming a little hesitant.

"What?" The old emperor opened his eyes impatiently.

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen said that he learned that a god appeared in Yun Country, and he wanted to ask the Emperor to send him as an envoy to Yun Country. But the prerequisite is that the former Princess Chen must be married to Yudie."

Eunuch Yu finished speaking in one breath, then carefully observed the old emperor's expression.

After hearing this, the old emperor frowned even more tightly.

He glared at Eunuch Yu and cursed, "This rebellious son is getting more and more outrageous! Who does he think he is? He wants me to clean up his mess!"

Eunuch Yu was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

He knew that it was best to remain silent at this time to avoid getting into trouble.

The old emperor lay back angrily, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Yu also quietly retreated.

I'm afraid this storm won't be so easy to calm down.

Ling Chenyu was still kneeling outside the hall, letting the rain wash over his body and soul.

He loved Yaoyao deeply and was determined to keep her by his side even at the cost of everything.

Even if it's just in name only!

It was raining heavily, with lightning and thunder. Ling Chenyu's figure looked particularly lonely and determined in the night.

During the morning court session, the sun shone through the clouds, but it seemed that even it was afraid of the King Chen standing outside the palace, so it only dared to cast a few rays of light cautiously.

The court officials arrived one after another. When they saw Ling Chenyu, they were as if they had seen a flood or a beast, and they all took detours.

This King Chen is good at both civil and military affairs, but his brain is not very useful.

Once you have any connection with him, you will be in trouble and your family will be exterminated.

Therefore, even if he washed off the title of "disaster star", people still kept their distance from him, for fear that he would get into trouble by accident.

A young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was walking towards us from a distance in the rain.

He was wearing a green gown, had an upright posture, and a heroic look between his brows.

Unlike everyone else, he not only did not move away from Ling Chenyu, but instead deliberately moved closer to him.

“Oh, what happened to the arrogant King Chen? He is so… soaked… hahahaha.”

The young man laughed playfully, and his voice echoed in the palace in the early morning.

Ling Chenyu narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the young man in front of him.

He remembered that this young man was the child he left behind when he cleared out the Zhenbei Marquis five years ago.

At that time, he personally wiped out the Zhenbei Hou clan, but spared this young child.

I didn't expect that we would meet again here today.

"You are...the orphan of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Ling Chenyu's voice was cold and calm.

When the young man heard this, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He puffed out his chest and said proudly, "That's right! I am the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Rong Zixuan!"

Ling Chenyu sneered: "Very good, I didn't expect you to dare to appear in front of me."

"Why shouldn't I dare? Although you are the King of Chen, your actions have already angered the heavens and the people! I came here today to seek justice from you!"

"Justice? If you want justice, who should I ask for it..."

"you!"

Young people are easily impulsive and extremely angry. They raised their fists and punched Ling Chenyu.

Ling Chenyu smiled contemptuously, moved his body, and easily avoided Zhao Zixuan's attack.

He stretched out two fingers and easily blocked the boy's attack.

Rong Zixuan was stunned.

He didn't expect that his attack would be so easily resolved by Ling Chenyu.

He glared at Ling Chenyu angrily, but was speechless.

Ling Chenyu couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

He knew that what he did to the Zhenbei Marquis family was indeed cruel, but he was also listening to his father at the time and had to do so for the stability of the entire country.

Unexpectedly, when he was beheading the last man, he received an imperial decree to "spare his life".

He sighed, "Hatred will only make you lose more. Let go of the hatred and live well."

This might be the only thing that can help him.

Rong Zixuan looked at Ling Chenyu's straight back, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

He may never be able to defeat this man!

But, this man, after wiping out the entire Rong family, could still feel so at ease.

Why!

The old emperor had already put on his court robes and was sitting on the dragon throne, asking Eunuch Yu about the situation outside.

Eunuch Yu answered cautiously, fearing that he might accidentally anger the emperor.

"Tell that rebellious son to go to the imperial study after the morning court session. Don't kneel there and embarrass yourself now."

Eunuch Yu nodded quickly and turned to convey the order.

After Ling Chenyu learned the news, he no longer insisted on kneeling outside the hall, but found a pavilion to sit and wait.

After waiting for a long time for the morning court to end, Ling Chenyu just walked into the imperial study when he felt a strong wind blowing.

He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but then he remembered something and took the hit head on.

It turned out that a cup of tea was thrown at him by the old emperor.

The tea splashed all over Ling Chenyu, but he seemed not to notice it and saluted to the old emperor as usual.

The old emperor felt a little better now.

He stared at Ling Chenyu and said angrily: "I heard that you want me to put that peasant girl on the Royal Jade Butterfly?"

"Yes, father. I beg you to put Yaoyao on the Royal Jade Butterfly and give her a status."

"You rebellious son! Do you know what you are talking about? That peasant girl is just a lowly person, how can she be worthy of the royal jade butterfly? Do you want to bring shame to the royal family?"

"Father, I know what I am talking about. Although Yaoyao is of humble origin, she is kind-hearted and innocent. I am willing to give up everything for her, and I only ask that you give her a name."

"You are absolutely crazy! How dare you talk to me like this for a peasant girl! Aren't you afraid that I will really raid your house and exterminate your clan?"

"Father, I have nothing to fear. If you really want to exterminate my clan and confiscate my property, it only means that I am not worthy of being a member of the royal family. But no matter what, I hope you can help me and Yaoyao."

The old emperor was so angry at Ling Chenyu's words that he was speechless. He stared at his stubborn son with wide eyes.

Ling Chenyu knew that the old emperor was eager for him to marry a peasant girl.

The reason for this situation now is nothing more than blaming Zi for being out of control.

Sure enough, not long after, the old emperor agreed and waved his hand to let Ling Chenyu leave.

He finally had another reason to keep Yaoyao.
