Chapter 582: Bottom Line (4)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

These words seemed to be an oath of sovereignty and a warning to the Emperor and Chu Yi not to go too far.

Rong’er was his bottom line.

Chu You’s eyes shot out a fierce light that was as intimidating as a tiger’s. His aura was oppressive, not allowing anyone to enter his territory.

Chu Yi smiled lightly, elegantly adjusted his sleeve, and turned his head to look towards the Emperor. With a serious tone, he said, “Father, in my opinion, this marriage proposal from the Empress Dowager isn’t feasible. It would be better for you to issue an edict to annul the engagement.”

“Fortunately, this marriage hasn’t been arranged yet…”

Chu Yi’s tone was always gentle and soothing, but the meaning in his words was like a sharp sword.

In just a few words, he and Chu You were like swords clas.h.i.+ng, not giving in to each other. Sparks flew in the air.

Chu You’s expression changed instantly, and his face was ashen. He almost wanted to say “How dare you”, but he barely held it in.

With his current understanding of this nephew, Chu Yi really dared.

The most suitable person to speak about his marriage was actually the Empress Dowager. However, the Empress Dowager didn’t like Gu Yunrong and wanted him to marry the Princess of the State of Yue. Chu You could only look to Xiao Shoufu, w.a.n.g Kangyin, and the others for help.

However, there was silence. It was as silent as death. Even the birds outside the hall sounded a little ear-piercing.

Xiao Shoufu and the others didn’t speak. They all bowed and stood with their minds in silent communication.

In their opinion, it was good that Kang w.a.n.g and Gu Yunrong’s marriage didn’t work out. Gu Yunrong’s father, Gu Jian, had lost his t.i.tle and had no place in the court. This marriage wasn’t beneficial to Kang w.a.n.g at all.

Once the marriage was canceled, Kang w.a.n.g would be able to marry the Princess of the State of Yue.

What needed to be said was that Xiao Shoufu had actually asked Yuan Zhe to persuade Kang w.a.n.g. The situation in the royal court suddenly changed. In just a few months, too many things had happened. With the help of the Eldest Prince, the Emperor was almost stabilizing his throne, and Kang w.a.n.g was clearly at a disadvantage… They couldn’t let the situation develop like this anymore.

In the long silence, Chu You stared fixedly at Xiao Shoufu. His face was tense and dark.

Chu You wasn’t a fool and could naturally guess what Xiao Shoufu and the others were thinking.

At this moment, he felt as if he was ostracized by everyone present. Everyone was standing opposite him.

Chu You slowly looked around at everyone. His gaze swept across Chu Yi, the Emperor, Xiao Shoufu, w.a.n.g Kangyin, He Lie, and the others, and his heart turned cold.

All of them had their own thoughts and goals, but they had reached an agreement on one thing. They all wanted to separate him and Gu Yunrong.

In an instant, Chu You felt a suffocating pressure that made him unable to breathe.

He couldn’t stay any longer!

Chu You didn’t say anything else, and he left with a flick of his sleeves.

He had to settle this matter another way. As long as the Emperor didn’t issue a decree, there was still room for negotiation!

Behind him, Xiao Shoufu and the others looked at Chu You’s back with complicated expressions. They were still silent and determined.

There was no turning back.

The distraught Chu You left the palace without looking back.

Unknowingly, a thick, dark cloud gathered in the sky. It was heavy, as if it was about to fall at any moment.

Chu You got on his horse at the entrance of the palace and rode away along the Vermilion Bird Inst.i.tute.

“Pa! Pa!”

Chu You waved the whip high and repeatedly hit the horse’s b.u.t.t, again and again.

He was anxious to see Gu Yunrong. He rode his horse wantonly on the streets, his hooves flying.

“Horse… Horse…”

When the pedestrians on the road saw that someone was riding a horse, they quickly dodged to the sides. The vendors by the roadside also hurriedly dragged the baskets and goods on the ground.

A vegetable basket by the roadside was kicked by the horse’s hooves. At the same time, some vegetables flew out of the basket and scattered on the street…

“My vegetables!” A peddler in his 40s exclaimed. His heart ached as he watched the person riding the horse leave without looking back.

“What kind of person is this! He actually spurred his horse inside the market!” The peddler squatted down and picked up a ruined vegetable from the ground, but he didn’t dare chase after the person who spurred his horse.

It was obvious that the person who dared to ride a horse in the capital was definitely not an ordinary person.

The peddler could only admit his bad luck and curse. Right on the heels of that, he saw another brown horse galloping past less than two feet away from him. The young man on the horse shouted in a high-pitched voice, “Your Highness, Your Highness…”

“That’s High Highness,” a woman by the roadside said in disbelief. “He’s too domineering.”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Another old woman came over to speak and frowned tightly. “I heard that the Eldest Prince is gentle and refined. This prince is too different from the Eldest Prince!”

“Which prince is this?”

“I think he’s in his 20s. It shouldn’t be common to see such a young prince, right?”

The commoners discussed and speculated.

However, these voices couldn’t reach Chu You’s ears at all. He was so preoccupied that he didn’t notice that he had knocked over someone else’s stall.

“Slam!”

Chu You swung the whip heavily for the umpteenth time and arrived at the Gu Mansion in Reed Alley.

At the entrance of the Gu Mansion, there were four Embroidered Uniform Guards with embroidered spring sabers.

Chu You nimbly got off the horse and threw the reins away. He rushed in without a care. The few Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding the door rudely held their scabbards horizontally and didn’t let them in.

“Move aside.” Chu You slowly spat out two words. Every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds and as cold as frost..
