Female Master: The Cold Prince

"Come here, pass on my imperial decree, conferring upon Yu Suyuan the title of Prince of Nanyang, and rewarding him with one hundred pieces of top-quality silk, ten thousand taels of gold and silver, and granting him the residence of the Prince." Xiahou Shaohua said.

As long as this person is happy, it doesn't matter if he is given the title of Crown Prince.

On the other side, Xiahou Jiuyue returned to the mansion as usual, and Shangguan Linglong finally felt relieved.

"Your Highness, has Marquis Qinglin caused you any trouble?" she asked a little worriedly.

Although the prince is the Prince of Chen, he is also Ling Xige's niece. If this matter is not handled properly, Ling Xige will surely bear a grudge against him. At that time, the prince will lose a great helper.

Ling Xige is the Queen's capable minister, and the power under her command should not be underestimated. With her help in the court, the prince's path will be easier.

"No, don't worry. How is A Yuan?" Xiahou Jiuyue shook her head.

It’s true that Ling Xige is her aunt, but if her bottom line is touched, she will never show mercy.

"He's awake already, go in and take a look!" Shangguan Linglong said this without even noticing a strange feeling flashing through her heart.

"Yeah." She said nothing more and walked straight into the house.

When I came into the room, I saw that the man had stood up and was leaning against the head of the bed, and the man named Guan was taking care of him.

When he saw the person coming, Yu Suyuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and when he was about to get up from the bed, Xiahou Jiuyue reached out and held him down.

"Ah Yuan, no need to be so polite. How do you feel now? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Finally seeing the person he had been thinking about day and night and hearing her caring words again, Yu Suyuan could no longer control his tears.

"Ayue."

He threw himself directly into her arms. Xiahou Jiuyue's body stiffened slightly, then she hugged him back and raised her hand to pat his back gently.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. It won't look good if you continue crying." She patted his back gently and soothed him softly.

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she spoke, Yu Suyuan cried even harder. Seeing this, the man next to her consciously retreated out of the house.

Seeing him crying so sadly, Xiahou Jiuyue thought that he must have had a hard time recently, so she let him cry and let him vent.

"Ayue." He cried and called her name. He thought he would never see her again.

"I'm here." Hearing him calling her name over and over again, she also said over and over again: I'm here.

Perhaps only in this way can this person be given the sense of security he wants.

Not until his eyes became swollen and his voice became hoarse from crying did Yu Suyuan gradually calm down, and leaned in Xiahou Jiuyue's arms with tears in his eyes.

"A Yuan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have sent you to Hanguang Temple. I shouldn't have left you alone outside without visiting you. I'm sorry." Xiahou Jiuyue took advantage of the fact that he was emotionally stable and began to blame herself.

She shouldn't let the person who hurt him continue to live in this world. It was all because she was not strong enough to protect him, but she swore that this was the last time, and if anyone dared to hurt him again, she would kill him.

"Ayue, don't blame you. It's all my fault. I knew he was the son of the Marquis's mansion, but I still made him unhappy. If I had listened to him, he wouldn't have hurt me."

When he was in Hanguang Temple, the words he heard most every day were that man claiming to be Ayue's cousin, and even when he bullied him, he used Ayue as a backer.

He was really envious of her at that time for having such an outstanding cousin who would take care of everything for him. He was really envious.

Even if he knew A Yue, who would believe him if he told others? He couldn't guarantee whether he would see her again in the future. How could he resist Ling Chuanxu's bullying?

Based on what he said he knew? He was afraid that he would be beaten up by Ling Chuanxu. After spending some time with him, he knew Ling Chuanxu's character too well.

Seeing that he is always so kind, even if he is bullied by others, he will only think it is his own fault. How can she not feel distressed and protect such a person?

"A Yuan, this isn't your fault. It's Ling Chuanxu who needs to be taught a lesson. I've already taught him a lesson for you. He won't dare to bully you again in the future."

Hearing this, Yu Suyuan paused. Yes! How could he forget that it was A Yue who rescued him, even at the cost of injuring his own cousin? He had heard about it when he woke up.

"Ayue, is he okay?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

I heard that the man was seriously injured and fainted on the spot. It was all his fault. He caused her such a disaster.

"Don't worry! It's okay, you won't die." Xiahou Jiuyue knew what he was worried about and comforted him.

She paused, thinking about the decision she made in the palace, and then said, "By the way, A Yuan, I have something to tell you."

Xiahou Jiuyue looked at him and said, "Ayuan, are you willing to acknowledge my father as your foster father?"

Hearing this, Yu Suyuan was shocked. What did A Yue mean by this?

Seeing that he was stunned, he asked again: "A Yuan, are you willing?"

"Ayue, are you blaming me for causing you trouble?" As he said this, his tears began to fall again.

"No, no, don't cry. If you don't want to, forget it." When the man started crying, she suddenly felt helpless.

Hearing this, Yu Suyuan looked uncertain and asked, "Really?"

He didn't want to. Did Ayue understand that if he really agreed to her, they could only be siblings, and there would be no possibility between them anymore.

He didn't want to be her sworn brother, he wanted to marry her and be her husband.

"Of course it's true. Okay, stop crying, okay." Xiahou Jiuyue comforted him softly. If he didn't want to, then forget it. They would see if there were any other solutions later.

But at this moment, a loud shout broke the thoughts between the two.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Xiahou Jiuyue was stunned, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in her heart.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Yu Suyuan please receive it." The female official said seriously.

"!!!"

After hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue felt that it was all over. She had worked so hard to coax the person into submission!

When Yu Suyuan heard that the imperial edict was sent to him, he was confused and puzzled. Then he saw the guilty looks on the faces of the people around him, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Yu Suyuan, please accept the order." He said while kneeling.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue wanted to stop it but couldn't. She instantly felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Yu Suyuan is to be made the Crown Prince of Nanyang, and adopted by Lord Ling. He is also to be awarded 10,000 taels of gold and silver, 100 rolls of top-quality silk, and is to live in the Crown Prince's Mansion. I decree this!"

The female official who announced the decree read out the order word by word, totally unaware that the person below was growing paler and paler in face.

Xiahou Jiuyue kept looking at him, and felt distressed when she saw his pale face.

Her father's actions were indeed swift. She was not ready yet. What should she do now?

After the female official finished reading, Yu Suyuan said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "Yu Suyuan thanks the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor!"

He seemed to use all his strength to stand up, and tremblingly took the imperial edict from the female official's hand. The female official was a little puzzled when she saw his appearance.

Why did she feel that Master Yu didn't look as happy as she had imagined? Instead, he looked like he had committed some serious crime?
