Chapter 212 Begging for mercy
"Eunuch, I am from General Yu's mansion and the eldest daughter of the Yu family. I hope you can show some mercy. This is a matter of life and death!"
Her voice trembled slightly from the effort of restraint.
The two eunuchs had blank expressions on their faces, their eyes full of disdain: "No matter how high your status is, it will be of no use at this moment. Let's talk about everything tomorrow!"
Yu Jingshu felt more helpless than ever before. She finally knelt on the ground, tears silently falling down, and she clasped her hands together, begging, "Father-in-law, please!"
Just at this moment, Jiang Dehai led a group of people slowly over. When his eyes met Yu Jingshu who was kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise.
Just as he was about to step forward to ask, he keenly noticed a few suspicious black figures in the shadows secretly locking onto Yu Jingshu.
"What happened here?"
Jiang Dehai pretended to be relaxed as he walked towards the two eunuchs, but his eyes were looking around alertly.
When the two eunuchs saw the powerful Jiang Dehai, they immediately lowered their heads and explained in a flattering manner: "Eunuch Jiang, this little girl insisted on breaking into Huanyi Palace, saying that she had something urgent to report to the emperor, but the emperor made it clear that no one would be allowed to be disturbed tonight."
Jiang Dehai caught those hidden threats from the corner of his eyes, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What if I insist on taking her in?"
The two young eunuchs dared not say anything more and immediately smiled and said, "Of course we dare not disobey Eunuch Jiang's wishes."
Jiang Dehai then revealed a satisfied smile and made an inviting gesture to Yu Jingshu.
Yu Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief as if she had received a pardon, with indescribable gratitude surging in her heart. Then she followed Jiang Dehai and walked into the gate of Huanyi Palace with trepidation but determination.
"Eunuch Jiang, something big has happened in Yongqing Palace. Wanwan is in danger. I must see the emperor and ask him to rescue her. Can you help me inform him?"
Although Yu Jingshu's voice was weak, it was full of determination that could not be ignored.
Jiang Dehai knew the situation was urgent, so he immediately quickened his pace and walked deeper into the hall.
Inside the palace, Su Jingchuan, slightly tipsy, was enjoying a banquet with a group of graceful dancers, completely immersed in his own world. It was not until Jiang Dehai called him loudly that he opened his eyes unhappily, anger visible in his eyes.
"You bastard! Who gave you the courage to act so presumptuously in front of me?"
Su Jingchuan's tone was full of displeasure.
Jiang Dehai immediately knelt on the ground and answered in fear and trepidation: "I know I am guilty, but the eldest lady of the Yu family is in urgent need of seeing you, and I am afraid that I will delay important matters."
"Miss Yu?"
A hint of curiosity flashed through Su Jingchuan's mind, and his eyes looked towards the palace door, as if he was expecting something.
"Let her in."
Su Jingchuan gave the order indifferently, then waved his hand to signal the new noble Yudan and everyone else to take shelter for a while.
Yu Jingshu walked into the hall with full of worries, her eyes wandering, shyness and nervousness made her dare not look directly at the extremely noble figure.
Su Jingchuan's eyes fell on Yu Jingshu with sharp interest. Her youthfulness and beauty left a deep impression on him. "Are you the eldest daughter of the Yu family?"
His voice is low and magnetic.
Yu Jingshu was startled and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty..."
"Keep your head up."
There was unquestionable majesty in Su Jingchuan's words.
Yu Jingshu's fingers trembled slightly. She slowly raised her head and met those deep dragon eyes. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"She is really as good as Wanwan. Although she is not as extraordinary as her, she is also fresh and refined. Compared with those concubines in my harem who are deliberately dressed up and scheming, she has her own flavor."
Su Jingchuan walked towards her slowly, and every movement he made revealed the majesty and demeanor unique to a king.
Yu Jingshu could almost hear the sound of her own heartbeat. How could she not be nervous when she was looking at the emperor so closely? Especially when Su Jingchuan's eyes seemed to contain a hint of warmth that made her cheeks blush, adding a bit of unusual atmosphere.
Su Jingchuan's footsteps froze in front of her, and time seemed to slow down with his movements.
His broad palm, with an indescribable tenderness and decisiveness, slowly reached out towards Yu Jingshu's delicate cheek, and a subtle and tense atmosphere filled the air.
Yu Jingshu felt the approaching breath and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. An instinctive self-protection made her shrink her body slightly. A hint of panic and uneasiness flashed in her eyes. Like a frightened deer, she wanted to escape from this invisible restraint.
However, Su Jingchuan moved as fast as lightning. He took a step forward and his strong arms instantly wrapped around her slender waist. He pulled her up from the ground without any explanation and held her tightly in his arms.
The embrace was warm and overbearing, as if it wanted to wrap her up in an endless abyss.
"emperor!"
Yu Jingshu's voice was trembling, mixed with fear and resistance.
She tried to struggle, and the scene of her sister Yu Yanwan hanging by a thread flashed through her mind. She hoped that this could touch Su Jingchuan's rationality and wake him up.
But before she could utter a word, Su Jingchuan's rough and hot palm sealed her lips, and all her words turned into a silent struggle.
At that moment, the reputation and pride she had maintained for many years were easily shattered by a man she had never met before in this strange and cold environment. The air around her seemed to freeze, and her heart sank into endless darkness and despair.
"Something happened in Yong...Qing Palace..."
Only when Su Jingchuan's rampant emotional storm had subsided a little did Yu Jingshu manage to squeeze out these few words with great difficulty. Each word fell on her heart like a heavy hammer, revealing an unbearable heaviness.
Su Jingchuan suddenly woke up from his trance after hearing this. All his tiredness disappeared. He sat up suddenly, frowning, with understanding and anxiety flashing in his eyes. "What did you just say?"
Yu Jingshu's eyes were filled with tears. She suppressed the grievance and bitterness in her heart and said with a sob, "Wanwan is in danger, Your Majesty, please go and rescue her as soon as possible..."
When Su Jingchuan heard this, he immediately jumped off the bed as if he was electrocuted, hurriedly put on his outer robe, and rushed out the door without saying anything more. His figure quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only silence and residual warmth in the room.
"Miss Yu, please take care of yourself and never have the slightest thought of committing suicide."
Outside the door, Jiang Dehai stood beside the screen, witnessing this scene. He felt mixed emotions and could only shake his head helplessly, giving weak warnings.
He had seen the fickleness of human nature in the palace and was no longer surprised by the experiences of the women around Su Jingchuan, but Yu Jingshu's experience still made him feel uneasy.
Unlike those frivolous and shallow women, Yu Jingshu has been educated in women's virtues since childhood and regards chastity as more important than life. Now this sudden change is undoubtedly a cruel trampling of her beliefs.
Yu Jingshu smiled bitterly while tears streamed down her face, knowing full well that to Su Jingchuan, the emperor, her experience might just be a tiny insignificant part among his countless actions.
"He is the emperor, he can do whatever he wants. Eunuch Jiang doesn't need to worry too much. The most urgent thing is to save Wanwan. I...I will be fine."
