Silence filled the hall. Many of the female singers prostrated themselves while trembling in fear. The ministers were also silent out of fear.
Tuoba Xiaoyao was taken away by the furious Emperor Yu's men.
Although it was only a small episode, many ministers could feel Emperor Yu's displeasure. His face was extremely gloomy, emitting an imposing aura that made one's heart palpitate.
Even the most favored princes did not dare to open their mouths easily.
Yu Feiya looked worriedly at the direction Tuoba Xiaoyao was taken away and continued to remain silent.
She did not know why Tuoba Xiaoyao would anger Emperor Yu at this juncture.
Wasn't he clearly trying to slap Emperor Yu's face in front of everyone? As the master of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, how could Emperor Yu let him off so easily?
For a moment, she sighed in her heart, not knowing what to do. She did not know what to do next.
Tuoba Xiaoyao was still too impulsive. He did not consider the severity of the matter as well as the gains and losses.
"Feiya, it seems you are also hiding a lot of things from me."
Emperor Yu's expression finally returned to normal as he looked at Yu Feiya indifferently.
He was not stupid. From Tuoba Xiaoyao's attitude, he could tell that he and Yu Feiya did not simply know each other.
But before this, Yu Feiya had never mentioned it to him.
This caused Emperor Yu to be somewhat disappointed. In his eyes, Yu Feiya had always been an obedient, steady, and well-behaved person. Not long ago, she would hide so many things from him.
When did she learn to hide so many things from him because of a man?
Yu Feiya's face was slightly pale as she said in a low voice, "Daughter did not intend to hide it from father. There is a reason … "
She was about to explain, but Emperor Yu had already waved his hand to interrupt her. He said indifferently, "You don't need to explain. From today onwards, you will stay in the mansion. Without my order, you are not allowed to take half a step out of the mansion."
Hearing this, Yu Feiya's face turned even paler. Her body trembled as if she was struck by lightning. She found it hard to believe.
In all her life, this was the first time she was grounded by Emperor Yu, not allowing her to take half a step out of the mansion.
She was clear that Emperor Yu was truly angry.
"Yes, father."
However, at this moment, she did not dare to go against Emperor Yu's wishes. She lowered her head and replied in a low voice. Her eyes appeared somewhat dim.
She inadvertently glanced to the side and saw Gu Changge with a faint smile on his face. He seemed to be sizing her up as well.
This gave birth to a strange and indescribable feeling in Yu Feiya's heart. It was as if everything that had happened in the hall today had been intentionally pushed forward by Gu Changge.
If not for Gu Changge, Tuoba Xiaoyao would not have incurred the wrath of Emperor Yu.
"I've let Young Master Changge see a joke. I didn't expect something like this to happen today. It's really embarrassing."
Soon after, Emperor Yu turned to look at Gu Changge. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Gu Changge withdrew her gaze from Yu Feiya's expression.
He had been watching the development of the situation and found that it was more or less what he had expected.
Hearing this, he smiled, then shook his head and said, "I'm really surprised that the third young master of Tuoba Mansion would say such words in front of everyone. I originally cherished his talent, but looking at him now, I'm afraid he won't be of much use."
Not only did he refuse Emperor Yu's betrothal in front of everyone, he even said that the person he liked was Eldest Princess Yu Feiya.
This could no longer be described as simply rebellious. It was courting death.
For Gu Changge, things became easier after Tuoba Xiaoyao was locked up in the Heavenly Prison.
Although the Heavenly Prison of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty was known as an inescapable net, and even imprisoned the enemies of those who had attained the Dao in the past.
However, if Gu Changge wanted to sneak in silently, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.
Even if Tuoba Xiaoyao died in the Heavenly Prison, no one would suspect him.
With such a thing happening, the rest of the banquet, including Emperor Yu, lost interest.
Everyone in the Tuoba Mansion had a gloomy expression. With such a big thing happening, there was no need to even think about it. From today onwards, the Tuoba Mansion would definitely be alienated by Emperor Yu, and would no longer be valued.
Their glory was no longer there, and they were heading towards decline.
Although Tuoba Qiongling and Tuoba Qingyu were very concerned about Tuoba Xiaoyao, they were helpless and could only worry.
They really wanted to tell their father about Tuoba Xiaoyao, but Tuoba Xiaoyao repeatedly warned them not to tell anyone else, including their parents.
During this time, the prince of Jue Yin Imperial Court, Jia Luo, once again brought up the matter of marriage.
Just now, Tuoba Xiaoyao said those words in front of everyone, which made him feel rather unhappy, and he was worried that Emperor Yu would refuse.
Although he didn't really admire Yu Feiya, in his eyes, the marriage between the two was already set in stone.
Now that Tuoba Xiaoyao had suddenly jumped out with the intention of stopping this matter, it felt as if the other party didn't put him in his eyes at all.
In Jia Luo's eyes, Tuoba Xiaoyao was only the son of a small general. Whether it was cultivation or identity, he was far from being able to compare with him.
As long as Emperor Yu was smart, he would know what to choose.
"As for the matter of Prince Jia Luo's marriage, this emperor will consider it for a few days and give you an answer in five days."
Facing Jia Luo's proposal of marriage, Emperor Yu's reply was watertight, and he didn't intend to completely agree.
He actually had other thoughts in his mind, which was to first ignore Prince Jia Luo for a few days before discussing the price.
On the other hand, Emperor Yu actually had other thoughts. During the Great Hunting Meet, Tuoba Xiaoyao had displayed terrifying strength.
That was definitely not something that could be displayed by someone of his realm.
Therefore, Emperor Yu concluded that Tuoba Xiaoyao was definitely hiding some great secret that no one knew about.
If there was time, he would like to interrogate him.
After the banquet ended, the officials left in fear and trepidation. The people from the Imperial Court of Jue Yin were also led to the other side of the palace by the maids.
Gu Changge also took Jiang Chuchu back to his residence. He wasn't in a hurry to investigate Tuoba Xiaoyao's situation.
If he guessed correctly, Yu Tianzheng should be waiting for him at his residence right now.
During the Great Hunting Meet, he'd ordered Yu Tianzheng to give up on the assassination, worried that he would ruin his plan.
Now, Yu Tianzheng was definitely unwilling to give up and wanted to get to the bottom of this.
"It looks like I still have to make that guy listen to me …"
Gu Changge narrowed his eyes.
With such a chess piece around, he naturally had to plan carefully. Now that he knew the identity of the Divine Wielding Sword Master, the matter of the Divine Wielding Sword wasn't urgent.
Instead, this huge Great Yu Celestial Dynasty gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Did you already know about what happened between Tuoba Xiaoyao and Princess Yu Feiya?"
Jiang Chuchu and Gu Changge walked side by side. She was dressed in white and wore a light veil over her face, revealing only her dark brows and eyes. Her aura was otherworldly, and her hair danced in the wind like a moon goddess about to return to her home.
She asked softly. After witnessing everything in the palace today, she could naturally tell that those words were purposely said by Gu Changge. He wanted Tuoba Xiaoyao to incur the wrath of Emperor Yu.
Logically speaking, Tuoba Xiaoyao and Gu Changge had never met before.
However, Gu Changge seemed to know him very well, which puzzled her.
"Yes, I knew about it long ago. Otherwise, why would I be so bored as to grant someone a marriage? "Gu Changge smiled and reached out to hold her slender waist.
Jiang Chuchu had an "as expected" expression.
Seeing that she still wanted to ask, Gu Changge couldn't help but smile and say, "That Tuoba Xiaoyao has the Heaven Wielding Sword. In order to avoid my detection, he hid for so many years."
"It's a pity that I saw through it during the Hunting Meet. Something like the Heaven Wielding Sword would only take his life if it fell into his hands. Unfortunately, he still didn't understand and tried to go against me. "
"Heaven-wielding Sword?" Jiang Chuchu blinked her eyes and pondered.
She naturally knew about the Seven Artifacts of Heaven Wielding, and knew that Gu Changge had a few of them.
No wonder he wanted to attack Tuoba Xiaoyao. So this was the reason.
However, Gu Changge actually told her such a secret so frankly, which made her feel a little touched.
After all, people like Gu Changge were rarely willing to tell the truth.
"You don't have to tell me this," Jiang Chuchu's eyes sparkled. She raised her head and glanced at Gu Changge, then looked into the distance as if nothing had happened.
"But I just want to tell you," Gu Changge smiled, grabbed her delicate hand, and placed it in his palm.
"Who asked you to tell me? I … I don't want to know about these things."
Jiang Chuchu felt her heart suddenly beating faster. Her face couldn't help but blush. She wanted to pull her hand away.
However, Gu Changge held on tightly, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"There are so many Great Yu's guards watching us …"
"What's wrong with watching? Can't I hold your hand?" Gu Changge smiled gently. "We're an old married couple. Why are you still so shy?"
"Who's an old married couple with you? Yue Mingkong is your fiancée." Jiang Chuchu wanted to roll her eyes at him and show her annoyance.
At this moment, she felt that her face under the veil must be as red as rouge.
In front of everyone, she was the holy and dignified Saintess of the Human Ancestor Temple. She was untainted and detached from worldly affairs. Her emotions were as clear as a mirror and would not be affected by external matters.
"If Mingkong is my fiancée, then what are you to me?" Gu Changge was still smiling.
"You …" Jiang Chuchu was embarrassed again when she heard this question. She felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
Yes, Yue Mingkong was his legitimate fiancée. Then what was she?
Gu Changge sighed and said, "I understand. You'll probably be a servant girl who gets bullied in the future."
"Not only will you be bullied by me, but also by others …"
"You're not allowed to bully me."
Although Jiang Chuchu was adjusting her emotions, she still felt wronged when she heard this. She pulled her hand out of Gu Changge's grasp.
"Then don't be a servant girl who gets bullied in the future." Gu Changge smiled, showing a gentle and sympathetic expression.
Jiang Chuchu felt that he was purely teasing her today.
"You'll marry me, right?" She lowered her eyes and her voice gradually became softer.
