When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

In the imperial study, the emperor sat majestically at the desk, looking at Ye Qi, who was kneeling on one knee with his head lowered, with a half-smile on his face.

"I heard that you made a lot of noise last night?" the emperor said lazily.

"I am so anxious to protect my wife that I have caused Your Majesty worry. I deserve to die!" Ye Qi said sincerely, yet neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's rare that Qi'er is so eager to protect his wife!" said the emperor with a chuckle.

The night just bows its head and remains silent.

"But you burned Mr. Wang and his house to death, which was a bit too much. The decision should be made by the Ministry of Justice so that the law can be stabilized!" said the emperor majestically.

"Your Majesty, I am eager to protect my wife and I am really anxious!" Ye Qi said with his head down, without making any excuses.

"What a worrying person!" The emperor chuckled, "Forget it, they dared to kidnap the princess of Wu country, so they should be executed!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Qi knelt on his knees and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Get up!" the emperor said to him.

Ye Qi thanked him for the favor, then stood up, lowered his head and stood submissively, continuing to wait for the emperor's words.

"But this princess of the Wu country calls herself a commoner named Bai Xin, which is deceiving the emperor!" The emperor looked at Ye Qi with a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, it is all my fault!" Ye Qi said, then he threw away his clothes, knelt down again and bowed.

"I have ignored her for three years. She only concealed her identity because she was angry at me. It is my fault. Please don't blame her, Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at him with a smile, it was rare for him to defend a woman, this was a good thing, because only when one has weaknesses can one be human, and only when one has human nature can one be better at handling things.

If he remains childless and is arrogant, people will inevitably think that he has evil intentions, which is not a bad thing.

"But I heard that your wife was kidnapped this time because she knew the art of heart replacement?" asked the emperor.

"I am terrified. I have never heard of it!"

If Xin'er's abilities were too great, she would definitely be targeted, and his heart couldn't bear to see her in any more danger.

"You have neglected her for three years, so naturally you don't know the truth. I will ask her in person today. You get up first!" said the emperor.

"Your Majesty, she fell into the water yesterday and caught a cold. I'm afraid she won't be able to see you!" Ye Qi said anxiously.

"Qier, the prince is no longer well!" said the emperor with a sad look on his face.

Ye Qi looked up at the emperor, his heart sank, and he replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! She will recover in two days, and I will bring her here to pay my respects to you personally!"

He still wanted to struggle.

"I have already summoned her to the palace, and she has told the eunuch who announced the decree that she is in good health and can enter the palace!" The emperor was anxious and didn't want to wait even a moment.

Ye Qi was summoned to the palace today. The Princess of Wu country knew that he was going to hold Ye Qi accountable for burning down the royal residence to save his beloved wife. She would surely come to the palace no matter what and take the initiative to do so. It is no wonder that he ignored the safety of his subjects' wives and relatives.

As Eunuch Su announced that Princess Wu was entering the palace, Bai Xin slowly came in from outside the imperial study.

Her waist-length embroidered skirt swayed gracefully with her lotus steps, and her golden hairpins and hairpins swayed slightly without making any sound. Today, she was officially meeting the emperor as the princess of Wu State, so she had to be dignified and gorgeous.

"My name is Wu Yuexin, and I am here to pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be forever safe!" Bai Xin walked up to the emperor, knelt down and paid her respects to him.

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After saying that, he stood up from the ground, looked up at Ye Qi beside him, and gave him a smile without leaving a trace.

Ye Qi looked at her with a frown. Although she put on a little makeup, it couldn't hide her pale face. He felt distressed.

"Wu Yuexin, do you know that I can punish you for deceiving the emperor?" The emperor looked at her and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty! I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf!" Upon hearing this, Ye Qi quickly bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished!" Bai Xin bowed slightly and the pain in her body made her frown slightly.

Ye Qi saw this and became extremely anxious.

"You two are of one mind!" the emperor chuckled.

"That day Ling Yao wanted to marry you as his concubine, but you refused him on the grounds that you were already engaged. I guess you were deceiving me, too?" The emperor said as he looked at her.

"Your Majesty, what I said at that time was that Your Majesty had already arranged a marriage for me. Your Majesty is respected, and the marriage between me and the general was indeed arranged by Your Majesty. I did not deceive you at that time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Bai Xin retorted.

If we say that she deceived the emperor, we can only say that she concealed her identity. Saying that she had an engagement was deceiving the emperor, but that was not deceiving the emperor.

"Well, you are quite brave, daring to show off your cleverness in front of the palace!" said the emperor with a chuckle.

"Your Majesty is wise, it was indeed an unintentional mistake!" Bai Xin thought that it was not her fault.

"Since it was an unintentional mistake on your part, then it must be Ye Qi's fault? You did not admit your identity that day and called yourself a commoner. Were you trying to avoid him?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise. I am foolish. I was just throwing tantrums at the general as a princess. The general is busy with military affairs and naturally cannot take care of the affairs in the harem. How can it be his fault!" Bai Xin retorted for Ye Qi, making Ye Qi very sad.

"Qier, it seems that Yue Xin is deeply in love with you. It is not in vain that I have granted you a marriage!" said the emperor with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" The two men bowed and thanked.

Did the emperor call her here for this? She glanced at Ye Qi and saw that although he thanked her, his brows were not relaxed. She thought there must be something else, so she lowered her head and waited for the emperor to speak.

What's the point of accusing her of deceiving the emperor without any punishment?

"I heard that you were kidnapped by Mr. Wang this time because he wanted you to help him replace his son's heart?" Although the emperor's tone was calm, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was sharp.

How did the emperor know this? Did rumors spread so quickly? The eunuch who had just come to summon her to the palace said that Ye Qi had burned down the entire mansion because he was anxious to find her. So how did this information slip through the net?

"Yes!" Bai Xin replied, and first he had to listen to what the emperor was concerned about.

"So, are you really willing to change your heart?" The emperor stared at her, watching her expression change.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to do that." Bai Xin replied bluntly, without much change in her expression.

"Do you know that deceiving the emperor is a capital crime?" The emperor said in a stern voice, staring at her.

Bai Xin replied without changing her expression: "Your Majesty, I know the crime of deceiving the emperor, so I dare not deceive Your Majesty!"

"My medical skills are limited. I can only diagnose the general symptoms of a heart disease, but I can't treat them!" Bai Xin narrowed his eyes and replied.

"Not yet, is a heart transplant feasible?" The emperor seemed to have grasped the words.

"Your Majesty, I personally wouldn't!" Bai Xin retorted again.

"You know, the prince also has a mental illness. The imperial physician said that no medicine can cure him!" said the emperor with a gloomy look.

It turned out to be waiting for her here.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and I don't know how to transplant hearts, but I am willing to serve you by taking care of your illness and alleviating your pain!"

It's not easy to get a heart transplant, but she can get hospice care. Anyway, it seems that the emperor will not let her go.

Ye Qi was shocked. She took the prince's illness on herself. If the prince had an accident, His Majesty would be too sad and angry with everyone. She tightened her hands slightly. If anything happened, she would risk her life!

"That's it, that's good!"

The emperor seemed very satisfied with this and let her go for treatment first, hoping that there would be a turn for the better.
