Chu Mingyuan's expression darkened. "Go fetch Wu Hongtao. Have him take his wife away. As for these two... execute them!"
Lin Aotian nodded and replied, "I will carry out your command."
Chu Mingyuan's pleasant mood for the afternoon was shattered. "The spring banquet is such a grand event, and yet these individuals engaged in such vile behavior. Lin Qin is also at fault for not noticing!"
Lin Qin trembled and knelt. "Please spare me, Emperor. I acknowledge my wrongdoing."
"Forget it. Go back and reflect on your actions. Leave the matter of the Ministry of Rites to Ye'er." With a flick of his sleeve, Chu Mingyuan walked away into the forest.
Su Yingxue blended into the crowd, a cool smile curling her lips. She thought to herself that Chu Mingyuan truly valued Chu Chengye.
Chu Chengye had indeed reaped unexpected benefits from her actions.
But she wouldn't allow him to have it so easily!
