Chapter 1225 - 35: Debts of Joy (Part 11)
Zhao Xu’s delay caused the palace gate to be breached.Nanlin Capital City is not considered particularly large, but not small either.
Su Yang is not a patient person; Princess Yinchuan left a letter and departed, taking with her the fake Token he had replicated.
If she didn’t need to use the Token, she wouldn’t have stolen it.
A real Token would be fine, but unfortunately, it’s a fake Token.
If he used it, it didn’t matter; he could reveal his identity as the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, and no one would dare arrest him.
But if Princess Yinchuan used it and got caught, it would be a capital crime.
More importantly, he had already decided to marry her, yet she left without a word.
How could Su Yang allow this?
He took a portrait to the streets, looking around, and even hired people to search, but there wasn’t a single clue.
Su Yang became a bit anxious.
In Nanlin Capital City, he didn’t know many people, basically just Zhao Xu and also a brief acquaintance with Dong Chenglang, Heir of Duke Ning.
In the past ten years, Dong Chenglang had visited Daqi twice, and Su Yang had met him.
Su Yang chose to seek out Zhao Xu instead of Dong Chenglang.
Previously, Princess Yinchuan had been stopped when trying to enter the palace, which is why she had to steal his Token.
Now it’s his turn, and naturally, it’s no exception.
However, the guards stopped him, refusing him entry.
Allowing the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion to pass? Where would the majesty of the Imperial Palace be?
If they let in someone with ill intentions trying to assassinate the Emperor, the lives of their whole family wouldn’t be enough to compensate.
Preventing palace entry is their duty; even if they really stop someone, the Emperor wouldn’t blame them.
Stop.
They must stop.
Even if it’s the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion or even if his father Marquis Dongxiang is here, they have to prevent entry.
Su Yang repeatedly pleaded with them to report to Zhao Xu, but the guards ignored him.
Su Yang’s temper flared, and he threw a punch.
One guard’s eye immediately swelled and turned blue.
How could these guards be a match for Su Yang?
With a few punches and swift moves, he broke into the palace.
Inside the Imperial Study.
Zhao Xu was still digesting the news of Princess Yinchuan coming to Nanlin.
Zhao Xu was pleased with the idea of Princess Yinchuan marrying Su Yang.
He had stayed at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion for a while and liked Su Yang, despite Su Yang’s mischievous and reckless ways.
Zhao Xu had also heard about Su Yang’s incident with a bee stinging Princess Beimo.
During the Emperor of Daqi’s birthday celebration, Zhao Xu sent gifts as well.
When the Eldest Prince of Beimo was stung all over his face, honestly, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but laugh for half a day, to the point that Princess Jing Mountain pinched his waist purple.
Zhao Xu understood Su Yang’s nature; he wouldn’t target Princess Yinchuan for no reason.
He was using his way to refuse the marriage.
Zhao Xu thought this marriage would be ruined by the bees, but who knew his father-in-law’s mind wouldn’t accept canceling it.
Now Princess Yinchuan has escaped the marriage to Nanlin; how she managed the journey, with her face sunburned like that, is a testament to her unwillingness to marry Su Yang.
Considering Princess Yinchuan being captured and spending a night in the Ministry of Justice Prison, Zhao Xu felt a headache.
Her father-in-law would surely be furious once he knew.
Even the Empress, upon knowing, would likely be angry as well.
Eunuch Li looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Emperor, the Princess Yinchuan has been found; should we notify Beimo?"
"No need," Zhao Xu waved his hand.
"Let the Empress handle this matter."
This matter concerning the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion and Beimo, if not handled well, could result in tension from both sides.
Neither side is easy to deal with.
Zhao Xu sat down and continued reviewing memorials.
Just as he picked up a document, a little eunuch hurried in shouting, "Emperor, it’s bad!"
"Someone has breached the palace!"
Eunuch Li frowned, "Who is so audacious to dare intrude the Imperial Palace?!"
"The person claims to be the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion," the little eunuch replied.
Zhao Xu, "...."
Eunuch Li, "...."
Eunuch Li quickly glanced at Zhao Xu.
This certainly put the Emperor in a difficult situation.
For Princess Yinchuan to flee to Nanlin is understandable, considering her Imperial Sister is there.
But how did the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion end up fleeing to Nanlin?
Two people escaping marriage meeting at Nanlin Palace, how awkward is that?
Zhao Xu felt a headache coming on.
Encountering people from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, none come without causing a headache.
The little eunuch saw the Emperor only holding his forehead, so he softly called, "Emperor?"
"Bring him here," the Emperor gestured.
The little eunuch’s eyes widened.
Could it really be the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion here?
The little eunuch hurriedly retreated and sprinted forward.
The guards surrounded Su Yang tightly, many sprawled on the ground, clutching their arms and legs in pain.
The little eunuch rushed forward yelling, "Stop fighting!"
"Quickly stop!"
"The Emperor wants him in the Imperial Study."
Only then did the guards cease their actions.
Su Yang dusted off his hands and followed the little eunuch to the Imperial Study.
