Chapter 357 Finally willing to see me
After dawn, Gou Hongying went directly to the palace and had no idea that Yin Zhizi and Gou Chunmei had left.
Inside Prince Yu's mansion, Zhao Yucheng sat at the dining table with a gloomy face, opposite him sat Lin Shiyi and three others.
He had been in an extremely bad mood recently. The reason was simple: none of his subordinates with cultivation above the Martial Emperor level whom he had sent out to capture cultivators had returned for some reason, as if they had all disappeared from the face of the earth.
What made him even more depressed was that every time he went to the Third Prince's Mansion, he failed to see Yin Ling'er.
His longing for her grew day by day. He missed her charming figure and her every smile.
However, with his status, he simply couldn't go directly to the Beauty Hall in the harem to see her.
Zhao Yucheng's eyes slowly swept over the three women who were eating in front of him.
They always looked trembling in his presence and lay lifeless in bed like corpses.
Looking at them, Zhao Yucheng suddenly felt bored, and the annoyance in his heart became more intense.
At this moment, an impulse surged in his heart. He could no longer bear the torture of longing. He wanted to see Yin Ling'er immediately!
He stood up suddenly, threw down his chopsticks with force, then turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the palace.
He wanted to rush to the Third Prince's Mansion as soon as possible before the court session ended to meet the person he had been thinking about day and night.
"Uncle Emperor, you didn't attend the court today? Why are you here with Li'er?" When Zhao Haoli saw Zhao Yucheng, a look of joy appeared on his face. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
Zhao Yucheng smiled slightly and explained, "Recently, the court has been busy negotiating the military commanders for the expedition to Li Country. The Crown Prince will handle this matter. The Emperor's uncle still thinks your work is more important!"
"Thank you, uncle! You are the best!" Zhao Haoli felt warm in his heart and his face was full of gratitude.
Zhao Yucheng patted Zhao Haoli on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Li'er, you haven't been in good condition recently. The emperor's uncle hasn't reported your academic progress to your mother for many days.
Send someone to invite your mother over. I need to discuss with her the focus of your future studies."
After hearing this, Zhao Haoli's face changed slightly and he seemed a little hesitant.
Ever since the incident with his imperial sister, he had been dissatisfied with his mother, and because his mother didn't want to always have to look at his face, she came to visit him less and less frequently.
Seeing Zhao Haoli's hesitation, Zhao Yucheng couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "Li'er, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing!" Zhao Haoli came back to his senses and quickly covered up.
He calmed himself down and replied, "Li'er will arrange it."
Zhao Haoli turned around and called a young eunuch, and told him to go to the Beauty Hall to invite his mother over.
The young eunuch took the order and left. When he arrived at the Beauty Palace, he happened to see a palace maid who had been beaten to a bloody pulp and was being dragged out.
Seeing this scene, the young eunuch's body trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted. His legs became weak involuntarily and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He suppressed his inner fear, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then stepped carefully into the hall.
After entering the main hall, the young eunuch did not dare to delay for even a moment. He quickly knelt on both knees, kowtowed, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince invites you."
At this time, Concubine Yin was sitting on the couch. After hearing the eunuch's report, her originally gloomy face instantly showed joy.
She was secretly delighted: "Great, my Li'er is finally willing to see me!"
Concubine Yin hurriedly stood up and carefully examined her makeup in the mirror, fearing that there would be even the slightest flaw.
She carefully selected a gorgeous dress and adorned her hair with a few exquisite pearls and jades, then she followed the eunuch to the Third Prince's Mansion with satisfaction.
Along the way, Concubine Yin was in a good mood and walked briskly, as if she had become several years younger.
She thought happily that when she saw her son later, she would definitely get close to him to make up for the estrangement of these days.
However, when Concubine Yin stepped into the hall of the Third Prince's Mansion, she saw Zhao Yucheng sitting in the main seat, looking at her with a satisfied smile.
Concubine Yin's heart sank suddenly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.
But she quickly regained her composure, a smile appeared on her lips again, and she said softly, "It turns out that the prince has come. I am honored to meet you, Prince."
"Is Concubine Yin well?" Zhao Yucheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and waved his hand.
"Hello, mother." Zhao Haoli looked at his mother. Although he felt dissatisfied, he forced himself not to show it.
"Li'er, your mother and I need to go to the study to discuss your studies. You can practice on your own first, and I will check your progress later." Zhao Yucheng cleared his throat and said impatiently.
"Yes, uncle!" Zhao Haoli saluted respectfully and went outside the yard to practice.
Although Concubine Yin was a little unhappy, she did not directly reject the arrangement.
She thought to herself that this was a good opportunity to discuss some important matters with Zhao Yucheng.
So she nodded silently, indicating that she agreed to the arrangement.
Seeing this, Zhao Yucheng was delighted and immediately took Concubine Yin to the study.
There is a bed in the study. This bed was originally prepared to facilitate private meetings between him and Concubine Yin. It was externally explained as a place for Zhao Haoli to rest when he was tired from studying.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Yucheng couldn't wait to hug Concubine Yin, murmuring, "Ling'er, I haven't seen you for so many days. I miss you so much!"
"Your Highness, stop making trouble. I have something important to discuss with you." Concubine Yin scolded coquettishly.
However, Zhao Yucheng was no longer able to listen to Concubine Yin's words at this time.
His hands had already begun to become dishonest. While caressing Concubine Yin's skin, he said, "Let's talk later. I really miss you so much. Let's get down to business first."
Before he finished speaking, his hands quickly took off Yin Ling'er's coat.
