Chapter 112 The past is confusing
Hearing Su Yu mention Mu Jin, Su Yi's eyes slowly became filled with hostility, and his hands hidden under his sleeves unconsciously clenched. In just a moment, his expression returned to calm, and he still showed his unruly smile.
"You also said that Mu Jin and the third brother divorced. Oh~ No, it was the third brother who was divorced by Mu Jin. This was a grace you gave to Mu Jin because of the kindness she had shown to the people of Dongyue."
"Since Mu Jin has returned to the General's Mansion and has become the General's Lady, how can she be considered my sister-in-law? Besides, who I have close ties with has nothing to do with these mediocre officials who have nothing better to do."
Hearing Su Yi's arrogant words, Su Yu's brows furrowed even more. He looked at Su Yi, with a hint of disappointment and helplessness in his eyes.
Su Yu knew that Su Yi was a stubborn person. Once he made up his mind, it would be difficult for him to change his mind. This character was inherited from his mother and himself.
However, Su Yi was his recognized heir to the throne. Even though he had once promised Su Yi's mother to let Su Yi live freely and stay away from the struggle for imperial power, he had paved the way for Su Yi in the past few years. How could he let him fight with others?
Normally, Su Yu could ignore Su Yi's unruly behavior and let him travel around the world or the rumors that he went to places of entertainment and had fun. He could ignore all these.
As a man, what's wrong with being a bit romantic? If those ministers dared to bring these things up to Su Yi, he could have them dismiss all the concubines and maids in the harem. Why can they, the married ones, have many wives and concubines, but on the contrary, they criticize Su Yi who has no wife and children?
But this time it was different. The ministers wanted to report that Su Yi had disregarded human ethics and had too close a relationship with his sister-in-law. He even hugged her in front of the people and rode out of the city in the same carriage with her, returning in the middle of the night.
"Mu Jin told me that she saved your life and I have already rewarded her. If you want to associate with her for this life-saving favor, you don't have to. After she returns home, if she encounters any difficulties in the future, I will not ignore it. You should not associate with her in the future."
Su Yi sneered, "Do I need the approval of these ministers to date someone? This is ridiculous. Whether or not I am with Mu Jin is my own business and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Su Yu angrily said, "Are you really planning to be with Mu Jin? She has been married before, and the person she married was your third brother!"
Su Yi said disdainfully: "If I love someone, I don't care who she was or what she did."
"You~you~you!" Su Yu was very angry at Su Yi's words.
"But she seduced you?"
Su Yi smiled lazily: "If she is willing to seduce me, then I am lucky. It's a pity that she looks down on me because my last name is Su, and she hates me to the extreme. I have to work very hard to get her to look at me straight in the eye."
Su Yu's eyes flashed with anger, and his chest heaved rapidly, but seeing Su Yi's stubborn look, he knew beating and scolding him was useless, and he used a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Are you interested in her father, Marquis Mu Wei, who is the great general who protects the country? Do you want to use his military power to pave the way for your future? I will tell you today that I have never thought of giving the throne to anyone else. As long as you want this throne, I can give it to you now!"
When Su Yi heard Su Yu's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Su Yu couldn't stand seeing Su Yi like this: "What are you laughing at? Did I say anything wrong?"
Su Yi smiled and smiled, and the smile slowly disappeared from his lips. Dark clouds crept up his pupils. He clenched his fists and looked at Su Yu.
"Do you think I would be like you, relying on deceiving women and relying on external forces to seize the throne?"
"You are presumptuous!"
Su Yu slammed the desk with his palm, causing the teacups next to it to fall to the ground with a bang and shattered all over the floor.
The eunuch Jinzhong, who was standing outside the hall, heard the noise inside and hurriedly walked in, but Su Yu yelled at him to get out.
Su Yi sneered, "Why are you angry? Did I say something wrong? Or did I hit a sore spot? You had many wives and concubines back then, but when you found out about my mother's identity, you approached her with malicious intent, saying that she was still unmarried and that you only loved my mother for the rest of your life."
"It's a pity that she was young and ignorant. She believed the words of you, a seasoned lover, and secretly got married to you. She got pregnant with me and Mixue. When my grandfather found out, it was too late. I could only help you seize the throne of Dongyue."
"My mother only found out that you had many wives and concubines after she returned to Dongyue with you. She then realized that she had been deceived. Those women kept getting in front of her in a new way every day, which made my mother depressed and gave birth prematurely. She became ill and left me and Mu Xue behind in just a few years."
Su Yu sat on the dragon throne in front of the palace. Su Yi's words deeply hurt his unknown past.
His slightly red eyes were sparkling with tears. In just a moment, the tears burst out like a dam breaking, wetting his cheeks. Those past events were like countless heavy stones, pressing down on him and making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"Stop talking! I beg you to stop talking. Before I met your mother, I thought women in this world were just objects for men to vent their feelings when they were lonely. Until I met your mother, she was so beautiful that it seemed unreal. I couldn't bear to get involved with her, but I couldn't help wanting to get close to her."
"I know your mother's personality. If she knew that I had had other women and had children with them, she would definitely not even look at me. At that time, there were many people who would have asked to marry her and were willing to give up everything just to make her smile."
Su Yu closed her red eyes and said with trembling lips: "I can't watch her throw herself into someone else's arms, smile at someone else, cry at someone else, and belong to someone else! I can only lie to her to be with me."
Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, looked at Su Yi, and said anxiously.
"But I promised to treat your mother well and that the position of empress would only belong to her, and I did it. After I had your mother, I never had other women. She didn't want the position, so I kept it vacant. No matter how the ministers petitioned for the emperor's will and said that a country cannot live without an empress for a day, as long as your mother didn't want it, no other woman could sit in that position."
Su Yi glanced at Su Yu and sneered, "What's the point of you saying so much? Can it save my mother's life? Not only are you sorry to my mother, you are also sorry to my grandfather. He gave my mother to you, which is equivalent to giving you everything he has. But how did you repay him?"
"Don't tell me again that your throne belongs to me. I have never looked down on that position!"
After Su Yi finished speaking, he didn’t want to waste any more time talking to Su Yu and turned to leave.
Su Yu hurriedly called Su Yi: "Yi'er! Listen to me, if your mother were still alive, she would not agree with you being with Mu Jin, who was married to your third brother."
Su Yi stopped, turned back slowly, looked at Su Yu with anger in his eyes, and said slowly: "You are not worthy of mentioning my mother."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the Purple Palace, leaving Su Yi alone to sit back on the dragon throne. As he thought about the past, he shed tears of pain.
At this time, not only Su Yu was shedding tears of pain, but there was also Su Muxue who was hiding outside the Zichen Palace, listening to every word of the conversation between her father and elder brother.
