Chapter 29: The Helpless Emperor
Thus, the two deities sat in the Emperor’s council chamber, making it clear that unless the Emperor resolved this matter today, they would not leave!
These two are usually quite troublesome, each more tyrannical than the other, leaving even the Emperor helpless. One is his own biological sister, who once made unparalleled contributions during his quest for the throne and even saved his life, standing in the way of the sword for him. He could never wrong this sister. The other is his youngest brother, not born of the same mother but watched over by him while growing up. During the fierce struggle for the throne among his brothers, Su Yu blocked many poisonous drinks and arrows for him.
Frankly speaking, if not for these two individuals, the realm would never have come to his hands.
The rare thing is, neither of them ever had a thought of replacing him.
So, no matter what, the Emperor cannot hurt these two people’s feelings.
He can only wrong his own son once again.

With no choice, the Emperor has to summon Su Xingyan into the palace.
Su Xingyan heard last night that the Eldest Princess had returned to the Capital City and knew that things would happen today. However, she, Han Jing, did such things with others before marriage and put such a big green hat on him. How dare she file a complaint first?!
Su Xingyan decides firmly to reveal Han Jing’s affair at Mudan Pavilion from last night. No matter what, he must cancel this engagement!
"Son greets the Father Emperor, Xingyan greets Aunt and Eleventh Imperial Uncle." Holding such a big leverage against Han Jing, Su Xingyan is not worried at all at this moment. By now, the entire Capital City probably knows that Han Jing is not pure, and he wants to see if she has the audacity to marry him!
"Prince Ling has arrived, come and tell me how I, as your aunt, have offended you. My Jing’er isn’t even married yet, and you have been beating and attacking her. If my Jing’er gets married, will she still live? If Prince Ling is dissatisfied with this marriage, why not speak to the Emperor, instead of ruining my daughter this way!" Su Yaogeng repeatedly mentions Prince Ling, making even the Emperor sitting at the head feel worried for his son. Why must he provoke Han Jing of all people?!
Even the Emperor knows that Han Jing is Su Yaogeng’s favorite, even if she is a bit ugly, Su Yaogeng’s overwhelming pampering makes up for it!
Su Xingyan hadn’t expected that Su Yaogeng, knowing what happened yesterday, that Han Jing’s purity is lost and she is no longer qualified to be his Princess Consort, would still be fixated on his actions against Han Jing!
"Aunt, you overpraise Xingyan. Regarding yesterday’s incident, even if Xingyan shouldn’t have laid hands on Cousin, does Aunt know what Cousin did the night before last at Mudan Pavilion? If Aunt wishes to blame Xingyan, Xingyan has nothing to say, but I beg Aunt’s forgiveness, for Xingyan absolutely will not marry Cousin as wife, and I request Father Emperor to withdraw the imperial decree of marriage." Su Xingyan doesn’t believe that his aunt can, in front of Father Emperor and Imperial Uncle, reveal the matter of Han Jing’s lost purity?
Su Yu heard Su Xingyan’s words, and a glimmer of suspicion flashed in his eyes. Mudan Pavilion... Upon returning, he had already investigated. The beggar Han Yuxiao brought into the Mudan Pavilion the night before last hadn’t been able to enter Mudan Pavilion after Han Yuxiao left!
