The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 75: Shen Luoyan Apologizes

"Your Highness is indeed wise; otherwise, we would have to suffer."

"If it weren't for Your Highness's insistence, we would have been in dire straits today."

"Your Highness is wise, I am truly in admiration..."

On the way back, several guards cast admiring glances at Yun Zheng.

Thinking of the sight of the other princes' guards being beaten to a pulp, they felt incredibly lucky.

Yun Zheng was very pleased with the performance of the few people and sighed softly, "So, it's better to be honest and straightforward in life, and to think less about sneaky tricks!"

"Yes, yes..."

Several guards nodded repeatedly.

Ye Zi shot him a glance with a face full of black lines, secretly amused in her heart.

How can he still have the nerve to tell others to be honest and straightforward?

How can someone who constantly schemes to seize military power in the north have the audacity to say the words "honest and upright"?

He doesn't even blush!

Amused, Ye Zi turned to look at Shen Luoyan, who had been blushing the whole way.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Zi urged her horse closer to Shen Luoyan and chuckled, "Don't you suddenly feel that your husband isn't entirely useless?"

"Don't say anymore..."

Shen Luoyan's face flushed, and in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, she muttered a few words, then lowered her head in silence.

Seeing Shen Luoyan like this, Ye Zi couldn't help but giggle endlessly.

Shen Luoyan slightly parted her lips, several times wanting to speak, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Shen Luoyan did not return to the Shen family, but followed them all the way back to the Sixth Prince's residence.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, there weren't so many formalities before men and women got married; there was no rule about not being able to see each other for a period of time before the wedding.

Returning to the residence, Shen Luoyan hesitated repeatedly, but still spoke to Yun Zheng.

"Come with me to the backyard!"

"Go!"

Yun Zheng nodded with a smile and followed her to the backyard.

In the backyard, Shen Luoyan mustered her courage to apologize to Yun Zheng: "I apologize for my recklessness today. I shouldn't have called you useless in front of your guards! I also shouldn't have thought about those prey that had already been shot."

Shen Luoyan lowered her head, her face flushed.

"Is that it?"

Yun Zheng smiled slightly.

"What else do you want?"

Shen Luoyan suddenly raised her head, looking at Yun Zheng with indignation.

Yun Zheng couldn't help but tease, "You have no sincerity at all!"

"Do I still lack sincerity?"

Shen Luoyan said, "Aren't you just wanting me to apologize to you in public?"

"I don't need your apology." Yun Zheng gently shook his head, "I just need you to understand what should be done and what shouldn't be done!"

"How dare you say that to me?" Shen Luoyan was angry again and said irritably, "The Emperor doesn't even want you to go to Shobei anymore, and yet you push yourself and the Emperor into the spotlight! From what the Emperor said today, he can't let you go to Shobei even if he wanted to!"

When it comes to this matter, Shen Luoyan is filled with anger.

She would rather Yun Zheng indulge in revelry at the Garden of Blossoms than publicly utter those words.

With Yun Zheng's small frame, what right does he have to go to the North?

Isn't it enough that there are already so many widows in the Shen family?

"Go if you want to!"

Yun Zheng smiled dismissively, "With so many guards protecting me, I might not die in the North. Who knows, I might even achieve great things!"

"Fart!"

Shen Luoyan said in a very unladylike manner, "Once a conflict arises with Bei Huan, your troops wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of Bei Huan's iron cavalry!"

"Alright, alright!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "This matter has already been decided, there's no point in discussing it further!"

Shen Luoyan paused slightly, instantly rendered speechless.

Yes!

This matter has already been settled!

The Emperor and he have both been pushed to the forefront of the storm!

If he doesn't go to the North, the Emperor's face will be lost.

What significance is there in saying these things now?

Shen Luoyan grew more and more furious, gritting her teeth as she said, "It's all that bastard Zhang Xu's fault! If he hadn't taken you to the Qunfang Garden, nothing would have happened!"

"Don't blame him anymore."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "It's just that I drank too much myself; what does it have to do with anyone else? Alright, let's go out, or they'll think we're up to something in the backyard!"

What are you doing?

Shen Luoyan was momentarily taken aback, her pretty face flushing once more.

"Stop talking nonsense! What can I do with you?"

Shen Luoyan glared at Yun Zheng with a fierce look, then turned and walked out.

I'm sorry, but it seems you haven't provided any source text to translate. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate, and I'll be happy to assist you!

After dinner, someone from the palace came, and Emperor Wen summoned Yun Zheng into the palace again.

Yun Zheng, feeling helpless, had no choice but to head to the palace.

I estimate that this cheap old man is really furious today; being summoned at this time is likely not a good sign.

Forget it!

It is a blessing, not a curse; if it is a curse, it cannot be avoided!

Let it be as it should!

Anyway, he must have gotten tired of dealing with those bastards from Yunli, so he probably doesn't have the strength to deal with himself anymore.

In that case, it seems I should thank Yun Li and that bunch of idiots!

Yun Zheng wandered through his thoughts and eventually followed the eunuch to the Hall of Nourishing the Heart.

Emperor Wen was half-reclining there, with palace maids giving him a massage and kneading his legs.

At this moment, it should have been quite enjoyable, but Emperor Wen was wearing a long face, clearly still not having calmed down.

After Yun Zheng completed the ceremony, Emperor Wen waved his hand to signal the palace maids to withdraw.

"Sit down!"

The Emperor waved his hand weakly, signaling Yun Zheng to sit down.

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

Yun Zheng sat upright and properly, behaving obediently.

Emperor Wen raised his eyes to Yun Zheng, weary, and said, "You still haven't answered my question from noon."

"Ah?"

Yun Zheng immediately began to play dumb.

"Ah, what the hell!"

Emperor Wen saw his expression and became angry. He grabbed a pear from the fruit platter and threw it at Yun Zheng, saying irritably, "I ask you, should I let you go to Shuo Bei or not?"

"This..."

Yun Zheng paused slightly and respectfully said, "I, your son, will listen to Father Emperor."

"You listening to me is of no use at all!"

Emperor Wen was furious, "The words you spoke in the Garden of Blossoms have already spread far and wide! Now that I am not allowing you to go to the North, what does that make me?"

Yun Zheng slightly raised his head, "Then I shall go to Shuo Bei."

Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you really want to go to the North?"

Yun Zheng replied, "I cannot allow my father to be criticized, nor do I wish to..."

"Stop talking nonsense with me!" Emperor Wen interrupted Yun Zheng, speaking sternly, "I am asking you, do you truly wish to go to Shuo Bei, or are you just saying it for show?"

Yun Zheng's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that this question was not easy to answer!

This might just be a life-or-death question!

After a moment of silent contemplation, Yun Zheng said earnestly, "I truly wish to go to the North!"

The Emperor seemed to have anticipated his answer long ago, his gaze piercing as he said, "Do you think that even if you stay in the imperial city, you will eventually be harmed by your brothers?"

Yun Zheng hesitated for half a day, cautiously nodding: "Yes..."

"Are you still doubting that your third brother wants to kill you?" Emperor Wen asked again.

Damn!

Here comes another life-or-death question!

Yun Zheng was speechless, his mind racing rapidly.

After a moment of silence, Yun Zheng slowly said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Third Brother wants to kill me or not! From the moment I was born, I was destined to have no connection to the throne."

"I, your humble son, live each day in fear and trepidation, as if walking on thin ice. In the blink of an eye, I have already lived in a daze for over twenty years."

"Father, I am tired. I suddenly want to live like a real person."

"Even if there are dangers in the North, even if I die in the North, at least I have lived fiercely once, not having lived in this world in vain!"

"I, your son, do not seek to leave my name in the annals of history, but only hope that the historical records do not note that Emperor Wen's sixth son is a good-for-nothing..."

Yun Zheng spoke earnestly, his face occasionally revealing a tragic expression.

Emperor Wen gazed at him quietly, remaining silent for a long time..
