The next evening, when Run Yu returned to the manor, he saw that his father, who usually left early and returned late, was waiting to talk with him.

When the servant came to the study, he saw the Grand Commandant in casual clothes, making tea.

Seeing Run Yu, he nodded and motioned for him to sit down. His expression was gentle, but it made Run Yu feel even more uneasy.

"You're back?" The Grand Commandant asked casually to show his concern.

Runyu respectfully said, "Greetings, Father."

"Did you sleep in Prince Yi's manor last night?"

After a moment of hesitation, Run Yu answered truthfully, "Yes." With the Grand Commandant's eyes and ears, how could these things be hidden from him?

As expected, the Grand Commandant was not surprised. He just sighed slightly and said, "Your mother often said, 'When a son grows up, he can't be controlled by his mother.' Children and grandchildren have their own fortune. 'She wanted me to be less restrictive, so I turned a blind eye to your behavior. After all, you are still young, so it is inevitable that you do foolish things.

It's just that you were born in a family full of bells and cauldrons and food. You need to be careful with your words and actions. Do you understand? "

Run Yu knew that his father had always been expressionless. These words were already a reprimand, so he could only follow his father's meaning and said, "Father, you are right. I will remember."

"You have always been obedient. You are my most trusted child, but now you are entangled with Prince Yi. Let's not talk about what others think of you and the Grand Commandant's manor. Even now, His Majesty intends to betroth the Princess to you. You have to worry about the gossip, which is improper."

As expected, it was related to the Princess. Fortunately, Run Yu was prepared and did not panic. "I have a close relationship with Prince Yi. Now that my reputation has been damaged, I am afraid that I am not worthy of the Princess's precious body."

"Although I explained this to His Majesty, the Princess liked you very much in the palace yesterday.

Since the Princess insisted on marrying you, His Majesty naturally couldn't bear to go against her wishes. Therefore, he planned to set a date for the marriage next month. If the second half of the year was considered auspicious, the marriage would be consummated.

Time is of the essence, so I'm informing you in advance so that you can prepare as soon as possible.

Although the internal court will prepare everything for the princess's marriage, we can't be negligent. "

It was always the Grand Commandant's style to leave no room for doubt.

Run Yu knew in his heart that he must fight with his father today, otherwise there would be no leeway for him to return. Thereupon he knelt down and kowtowed deeply, saying, "Your child will not marry the Princess. I am not willing, and I cannot.

His Highness Prince Yi is the only one in my heart. I have entrusted my life to you and will follow you in life and death.

If Father is angry that I don't fight, even if you expel me from the family, Run Yu will have no complaints. But if you want me to marry the Princess, that is absolutely impossible! "

He spoke harshly, but the Grand Commandant was still neither anxious nor angry. He only said indifferently, "Whether you can or can't, you will have to marry her. This is your fate as a member of the Grand Commandant's household.

The Princess doesn't care about your status as a concubine's son, and she doesn't care about the rumors of you and Prince Yi's incestuous relationship. This is already a great kindness. Don't be shameless and fail to live up to this kindness.

What entrusting one's life to you and following you in life and death? It's nothing more than a moment of impulsiveness. Now that you are young and vigorous, you naturally place more importance on love. But as a person born in this world, you must not indulge in these small affairs and forget the principles.

As time passes, you will naturally forget the absurdity of today, and will despise such immature behavior.

Your father is doing this for your own good. Think about it carefully.

You don't have to rush to answer me. Think about it in this study. It won't be too late to reply to me tomorrow. "

Run Yu looked at the Grand Commandant in surprise. "Father, are you going to imprison me here?"

"It can't be considered imprisonment. That Prince Yi can't even protect himself right now. I'm just afraid that you will put yourself in danger."

After the Grand Commandant finished speaking, he walked out of the study. However, he ordered his servants to firmly clamp down on Run Yu. "Without my orders, you are not allowed to let Gongzi take a step out of the study. If he takes a step out of the study with his left foot, I will cut off your left foot. If he takes a step out of the study with his right foot, I will cut off your right foot. Do you understand?"

The Grand Commandant had always been obedient to his orders. The left and right attendants never dared to be negligent in the slightest. After these words were spoken, no one dared to give Run Yu the slightest bit of favor. They immediately locked the door and turned a deaf ear to his shouts.

At this time, Yue Lao, who was in the sky, looked at the red string in his hand that had been cut in half. He was frowning and groaning and groaning. However, he was knocked on the head by someone.

"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on here?!

Everything was fine, but the red string was suddenly cut. Even after it was cut, there are still feelings left?

Who is the one who did this stupid thing! "

After he finished speaking, Yuan Ji raised his hand and was about to hit him again. Danju hurriedly held his head and begged for mercy.

"This time, it really has nothing to do with me!"

As he spoke, he raised the red string in his hand and moved closer to Yuan Ji's eyes. "Look, look, this red string is so uneven. How is this my technique?

I was just thrown down to the lower realm by you to clean up that mess!

However, just as I stepped out of the door of the Residence of Marriage and Fate, the Celestial Ruler secretly sent people to cut the red string behind my back!

However, their hands and feet were not nimble and did not understand the inextricable connections between the two. Therefore, the red string was cut, but the feelings were not. Not only were they not cut, but they were even deeper!

I think, there will be big trouble … "

"You don't need to think. My Tianji Scroll is spinning so fast that the earth and mountains are shaking. When an ordinary immortal descends to the mortal realm to experience a tribulation, how could there be such a big scene?

That Night God Palace Hall must have a big secret. This time, I'm afraid his fate will be greatly changed! "

Yuan Ji felt that his words were very insightful, but the fox immortal only nodded. Therefore, he angrily hit him on the head again.

It was already late at night. It was cold and wet. The moon was bright and the crows were crying. Run Yu was anxious and did not feel the chill in his bones.

He was imprisoned in the study and could not sleep. Moreover, his father's last sentence, "Prince Yi can't even protect himself", made him very concerned. However, it was difficult to guess the meaning of this sentence.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't feel at ease. He hurriedly wrote a letter and pretended to be in the room to lure an attendant in. While there were many people watching, he asked someone to deliver the letter to Prince Yi.

He was wholeheartedly reminding Xufeng to be careful. However, he did not realize that he was Xufeng's biggest weakness.

In the middle of the night, Run Yu, who was pregnant, could not resist the tiredness of his body. He leaned on the table and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, he heard a few light sounds outside the room. Following that, someone pushed open the door and walked towards him.

Run Yu drowsily opened his eyes and saw Xufeng standing in front of him, making a face at him.

"How is it? Do you still want me to be the hero and save the beauty?" After saying this, Xufeng did not allow any explanation. He picked her up and turned to leave.

Only then did he realize that he could not leave.

Outside the door, the Grand Commandant personally led a group of servants. The light of the fire illuminated the Grand Commandant's residence as bright as day.

"His Highness Prince Yi barged into my Grand Commandant's residence in the middle of the night. May I know why you are here?"

Xufeng laughed sinisterly. He thought in his heart, 'Since the Grand Commandant has already shed all pretense of cordiality with Run Yu, there is no need for him to give him any face.'

"Why do you ask when you already know the answer? Naturally, I am here for your son."

"A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Whether you are here for my son or for the defensive map of Jiang Zuo, His Highness Prince Yi should know."

Xufeng was startled. Then, he saw a person slowly walk out from behind the Grand Commandant. It was the Crown Prince!

"Yesterday, I received a report that the Northern Dynasties had sent a spy to collude with an important person of our dynasty. They wanted to obtain the defensive map of Jiang Zuo. Today, after discussing with the Grand Commandant, I did not want to alert the enemy. Thus, I secretly deployed troops in this residence, waiting to catch the turtle in the jar. Who would have thought that the one who came was my fourth brother. It is truly shocking!"

The Crown Prince put on an act, but he was actually telling the testimony of everyone in the residence.

Run Yu struggled out of Xufeng's embrace. His thoughts were like lightning. He suddenly realized that he had unknowingly become a bait in his father's hands, baiting Xufeng.

He looked at Xufeng in a daze. His gaze gradually turned gloomy. "The letter …" The handwritten letter he wrote to Xufeng. He must have brought it with him.

It was a pity that he thought he was just reminding Xufeng to be careful. It was a simple task for the servants to deliver the letter for him. He did not expect that even this was secretly manipulated by his father.

Xufeng took out the letter and warmed it. There was indeed a picture on the letter. Xufeng recognized it at a glance. It was the defensive map of Jiang Zuo that the Grand Commandant had mentioned.

"That is my —" Run Yu wanted to explain. But just as he spoke, he was struck on the neck by a hand from behind. He fainted immediately. The person who did it was Xufeng.

Before this, Run Yu had shaken off Xufeng's sleeve and walked towards the Crown Prince. He already had a plan in mind.

They only wanted to deal with Xufeng. Even if the Grand Commandant did not care about the relationship between father and son, he would not be willing to implicate the family because of him. As long as he took responsibility for everything, there would be room to maneuver.

However, he forgot that he was the only one who was Xufeng's lifeline. He was the only one who Xufeng did not want to hurt in the slightest.

He gently picked her up, as if he was repenting for knocking her out just now. Xu Feng knew that they would never see each other again. She ignored the hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her and planted a deep kiss on her moist lips. It was so deep that it penetrated into her bones and marrow, and it was unforgettable.

In the end, he picked up Run Yu and walked in front of the Grand Commandant.

"Grand Commandant is indeed scheming and shrewd. You can even play with your own flesh and blood. Xufeng admits defeat."

The Grand Commandant's expression did not change. "It is all thanks to Your Highness's sincerity to my son. Otherwise, the person who stole the map would have been my son. At that time, even I would have been innocently implicated.

Your hand was fast and accurate. It is rare that Your Highness could understand all the pros and cons in a flash. The one who should say that I admire you is me. "

"For the benefit of the Grand Commandant's family, Your Highness may need to use him to form a marriage alliance with the Princess. Since that is the case, I think Your Highness will treat him well. Otherwise, even if I become a ghost, I will not let him go!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. I am not that deranged."

Handing Run Yu back to the servants in the manor, Xufeng put away the letter and looked coldly at the Crown Prince. "Let's go. I will follow my second brother to receive punishment in front of my father. Second brother came prepared. If you can't put me to death this time, I'm afraid you will not be able to sleep at night."
