The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 361 - 223: Utterly Disgusting!

Filthy business?

Yun Chunnuan looked puzzled and instinctively glanced at the man beside her.

She noticed his furrowed brows and, surprisingly, a flash of panic in his clear eyes.

Suddenly, Yun Chunnuan thought of something.

Could it be... Ying Ce?

Could it be that the King of Bianliao knew that Ying Ce was imprisoned by her husband, and is using this as leverage? Is that why her husband’s behavior is so unusual today?

When he mentioned being embarrassed to bring up Great Xia, Yun Chunnuan couldn’t think of anything else except this matter.

If it is about this, it’s truly laughable.

As Yun Chunnuan thought about it, she laughed, "Does the King think that my father, the Emperor, would trust you or me?"

The King of Bianliao did not make things clear, and Yun Chunnuan was merely speculating, so she did not make it clear either.

But the King of Bianliao was a clever man and immediately realized what she meant.

"Nonsense! Whatever deeds you’ve done, what has it to do with me?"

Yun Chunnuan blinked and smiled, "What good deeds? Should I, the Princess, send a message to the Emperor to report the true situation?

My husband is just a General; without the King’s order, how could he dare?"

With just these three exchanges, Yun Chunnuan confirmed it.

The King of Bianliao indeed knew about Ying Ce being imprisoned by them.

And why not, he is the Monarch of Bianliao, and such a high-profile Regent King disappeared in Bianliao Country without a trace. Others may not know what happened, but how could the King of Bianliao not know?

So he used this matter to have control over her husband?

Yun Chunnuan raised her eyes to the man beside her, who wore an expression of surprise, and gave him a glare.

Fool!

Why doesn’t he ever tell her anything!

He’s straight-laced and is faced with a Monarch and his father, so naturally, he is as helpless as a trapped beast.

But she wasn’t afraid.

Playing rogue? Who’s afraid of whom?

"You, you, scoundrel—" The King of Bianliao was so angry his fingertips trembled.

Yet he couldn’t speak plain words in front of all these civil and military officials.

The dialogue between the two was so foggy that even the Queen, listening at the side, was confused.

"King? What is this?" She looked at the King, whose face was flushed, filled with suspicion.

The King of Bianliao coughed lightly, yet dared not make things explicit.

A month ago, the Eastern Third Bureau intercepted a letter being sent to the Great Xia Country.

That’s when he realized that the Regent King of Great Xia had not been properly settled by his foolish son but was imprisoned instead.

That was the Regent King of Great Xia!

Foolish!

Scoundrel!

But after calming down, Yelyu Erlun felt overwhelming delight!

The person he feared the most was precisely that boy, Ying Ce, wasn’t it?

But that boy had already been imprisoned by his son!

He didn’t know what severe punishment the foolish son used to force Ying Ce to write a letter personally assuring the Emperor of Great Xia.

His handwriting wasn’t something just anyone could imitate, and the foolish son certainly didn’t have that skill, so Yelyu Erlun had every reason to believe that the fool had imprisoned the person and then used torture.

With mixed feelings of shock, fear, and joy, he feigned anger and summoned the foolish son to the palace.

He interrogated him about the whereabouts of the Regent King of Great Xia.

The foolish son originally intended to hide it but was directly exposed by him!

Then came a series of threats and intimidation.

The foolish son had always listened to him, but never before had he been so tightly controlled in his grasp.

A major thorn in his side was resolved, making Yelyu Erlun laugh with glee, and now he only needed to slowly erode the foolish son’s influence in the camp, and he’d be carefree.

Yelyu Erlun smugly thought that the Princess of Great Xia should also be caught in this weak spot, and would be even more obedient in the future.

But she actually pushed all the blame onto him?!

Utterly insolent!

Yelyu Erlun, extremely frustrated, his eyes clouded due to overindulgence in lust, were full of malice.

Just one look was enough to scare the Queen.

She dared not ask further, quickly turning her head.

Yun Chunnuan was not afraid.

Smiling with her lips curved, full of merriment, "King, stop thinking of sending women to the General Mansion; I know what’s on your mind.

If you wish to test whether the Emperor would believe you or me, feel free to send someone to Great Xia...

Well, seems a bit slow, even sending a message by pigeon would suffice, let’s see who suffers."

She glanced at that face, so similar to her mother-in-law’s, and shook her head with a smile, "The King’s taste has regressed."

So what if they look alike?

He will never find another lovely soul who loves him wholeheartedly like his mother did.

This wave after wave of melodramatic plots, Yun Chunnuan saw through them all.

He was forcing her husband to rebel, precisely with the civil and military officials present, even brought in the General of Cavalry, to weaken her husband’s power?

Ridiculous!

Who brought the current prosperity to Bianliao Country?

Does he really think that without her, he can still maintain this status quo?

"King, should there come a day when Bianliao Country falls into poverty and the people suffer, it would all be your doing!"

She took the hand of the man beside her, the gesture utterly different from her previously defiant demeanor.

Her plump lips curved as she looked at him with reproach, but more so with deep affection.

Yelyu Lie was still in shock.

The trouble lingering in his heart for a month was resolved just like that?

Somewhat unclear of the situation, his wife’s bright smile, though, felt like a gentle breeze, soothing all his anxiety.

The two turned to leave in the midst of a sudden hush.

"Stop!"

A frantic shout came from behind, "Yelyu Lie, do you still acknowledge me as your father?"

The crowd gasped audibly!

Even during last year’s fiasco, the King never publicly declared that the General was his son.

Although everyone present knew it clearly.

However, some matters must remain unsaid by the King himself, as if they don’t exist, as if everyone knows nothing.

What happened now?

The long-avoided issue, just uncovered like this?

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.

Yelyu Lie’s steps paused.

Yun Chunnuan had long heard from Qiao’er that Yelyu Lie’s identity as a Prince was not publicly acknowledged.

What did the King of Bianliao mean by asking that now? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Would her husband go soft-hearted and be led by the nose again?

She raised her head uneasily and saw his Adam’s apple move, his hand holding hers gradually tightening.

But her husband did not turn around.

The corners of his lips slightly curved, an indescribable bitter or self-deprecating smile.

"I, don’t care anymore."

Yes, he didn’t care anymore.

Once, he worked so hard to have his father acknowledge him as a son, to let the world know.

But now, he truly did not care anymore.

The series of manipulations today opened his eyes.

Bringing a concubine resembling his mother was one thing, but those eighteen women from the Western Regions, although their full faces were unseen beneath the veils.

Just from their eyes, it was clear they were selected based on his mother’s model.

Did he intend to bestow them upon him?!

This showed how much he hated the mother, and how much he despised this son?

Utterly disgusting!
