Chu Jinling clung tightly to Lin Sisi, refusing to let go. “No, I won’t marry anyone else except Sisi!”
“Ninth Brother, don’t be reckless. The marriage of the prince is no child’s play. Lin Sisi isn’t worthy of you, so there’s no need for you to worry anymore,” Chu Chengye coldly remarked.
Witnessing Chu Jinling’s determination, he felt a slight sense of satisfaction.
In the past, he had almost married Su Yingxue, but now she wouldn’t even look at him.
Chu Jinling was his younger brother. If he couldn’t have what he wanted, why should Chu Jinling be able to attain it so easily?
“1 won’t agree, no matter what anyone says!”
Chu Jinling stood firm against everyone. No one could separate him from Lin Sisi.
Chu Mingyuan was visibly angered and gave the command, “Men, escort Lin Sisi out. Send the Ninth Prince to the Noble Consort’s Palace. He is not to leave without an imperial decree!”
The imperial guards beside Chu Mingyuan showed no courtesy to Chu Jinling, they quickly intervened and separated him from Lin Sisi.
When Chu Yihan arrived with Su Yingxue, Lin Aotian was receiving a beating outside the hall.
“Stop!” Chu Yihan shouted.
Upon seeing Chu Yihan, the palace servants immediately knelt in fear. “Your Highness, this is the emperor’s order. General Lin did not properly discipline his daughter, and Lin Sisi had an affair with the people from the palace. The emperor has punished General Lin with 200 strokes of the cane, but only 60 have been administered so far.”
“General Lin is already advanced in age. How can he survive 200 strokes?” Su Yingxue’s face turned pale.
Seeing her assertive demeanor, the palace servants did not dare to speak and remained obediently kneeling.
Su Yingxue quickly approached Lin Aotian and administered a pill to protect his heart. “General Lin, are you alright? Hold on!”
“Miss Su, please save my daughter…”
Lin Aotian’s breath was weak as he weakly pointed towards the hall. “I’m fine, but Sisi…”
“General Lin, don’t worry. Sisi will be fine.”
Su Yingxue felt deeply guilty.
“Men, take General Lin back to the residence for medical treatment.” Chu Yihan ordered coldly.
“Your Highness, this is the emperor’s order. There are still 140 strokes remaining!” The palace servant hesitated.
“How about I let you replace General Lin?” Chu Yihan swept a sharp gaze over the palace servant who spoke, and instantly, the servant fell to the ground in fear. “Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me!”
Chu Yihan, accompanied by Su Yingxue, entered the hall. Inside, chaos reigned. Lin Sisi and Chu Jinling were embracing each other, enduring the blows. When finally separated, Chu Jinling rushed forward like a fool and collided with an imperial guard’s scabbard, resulting in a sizable bump on his forehead.
One of the imperial guards accidentally toppled him over, and he nearly hit the back of his head on the ground. Thankfully, Chu Yihan steadied him.
Upon seeing Chu Yihan, Chu Jinling treated him as a lifeline, hugging Chu Yihan’s arm and shouting, “Imperial Uncle, I don’t want to cancel the marriage! Help me save Sisi, and… and General Lin outside!”
“Dr. Su… Dr. Su, please save my father!”
Lin Sisi was sheltered in Su Yingxue’s embrace, crying aloud.
Su Yingxue patted her back and consoled, “Don’t worry. Your father has already been sent back to the residence by Your Highness. He will be fine. But you… what happened to you?”
“I… I just saw a few of my father’s old subordinates and chatted with them for a while. 1 don’t know why I fainted. When I woke up, I…”
Lin Sisi cried, lowering her head and biting her lip in shame..
