I just want to live a good life

Chapter 277 My Things

Su Nuan and Mu Yunting were walking in front, unaware of Eunuch Cao's little actions and thoughts.

The two entered the imperial study, and Su Nuan bowed to the emperor.

At this time, Eunuch Cao had come to the emperor in small steps. He handed the booklet to the emperor. There was a picture of a hairpin on the open page of the booklet.

The Emperor looked up at Eunuch Cao, who gestured for him to look at Concubine Xia's hair.

At this moment, Mu Yunting's heart was on the people around him, and he didn't care at all about the flirting between the emperor and eunuch Cao.

The emperor's reaction was exactly the same as Eunuch Cao's just now. He first lowered his head to look at the booklet, then looked at the hairpin on Su Nuan's head. His eyes kept switching between the two. The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the angrier he became.

It was already clear that the person who took many things from his warehouse was his eldest son - the prince!

The emperor picked up a memorial at hand and threw it at Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting instinctively dodged the attack and took advantage of the situation to block Su Nuan behind him.

"Father, what are you doing? What did I do wrong?"

"You bastard, you dare to ask me, don't you remember what good things you did?"

"What did I do?"

Su Nuan was terrified, but the scene was so exciting that she couldn't help but stick her head out from behind Mu Yunting to look around.

The emperor pointed at her and said to Mu Yunting, "Where did she get the hairpin on her head?"

Mu Yunting glanced back, his cold tone softened, and he replied: "I took it from my father's storehouse."

"You rebellious son, you stole my things without even trying to hide it? Have you been eyeing my treasures for a long time? Have you also been eyeing my throne for a long time?"

The emperor said angrily.

Su Nuan was shocked. She thought that what Mu Yunting gave her last night were his own collections. She never expected that they were actually stolen from the emperor's warehouse.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the emperor actually suspected that Mu Yunting was eyeing his position.

Su Nuan remembered that in the palace dramas she had watched, the emperor's biggest taboo was that others coveted his position, and his own son was no exception, so Mu Yunting had touched the emperor's reverse scale.

She subconsciously grabbed Mu Yunting's arm, wanting to say something to excuse him, but she didn't know what to say.

Taking the emperor's things without his permission would be enough to chop off several heads for anyone else. I don't know how the emperor will deal with Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting gently patted the back of Su Nuan's hand and said loudly: "Father, please keep your throne for yourself. I don't want to sit on it. I just took some of your jewelry. Why is your father so angry?"

"You stole my things and didn't admit your mistake to me. Do you want to piss me off to death?"

"I only took things that belonged to me, how can it be considered stealing?" Mu Yunting said firmly.

Su Nuan couldn't stand it any longer. It was the first time she saw someone taking someone's things so confidently. Seeing that the emperor's face was getting worse and worse, she was afraid of being implicated, so she gently pulled Mu Yunting's sleeve and whispered, "Your Highness, why don't we return those treasures!"

Mu Yunting uttered two words calmly: "No need".

Su Nuan was about to cry. The emperor looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. What if she angered the emperor? He was reluctant to kill his own son, so what if he took his anger out on her, an outsider?

I was so scared that I unconsciously increased the strength of my hands.

Mu Yunting noticed that something was wrong with Su Nuan and quickly turned back to comfort her.

The emperor became even more angry when he saw his son's doting look, and he picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it at him.

With a clang, the inkstone fell to the ground after hitting Mu Yunting's forehead.

Blood flowed down Mu Yunting's cheek.

The emperor didn't expect that he would hit him, Mu Yunting didn't expect that the emperor would really attack him, and Su Nuan didn't expect that the emperor would be so cruel.

The three of them were stunned, but Eunuch Cao reacted quickly and brought the three of them back to their senses with a cry of surprise.

"Oh, His Royal Highness is bleeding, call the doctor!"

Watching the blood dripping, Su Nuan suddenly felt a pain in her heart. She didn't care that the person who was angry was the emperor. She took out a handkerchief and pressed it on Mu Yunting's head, then pulled him behind her.

"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was at fault first, you don't have to be so harsh! Don't you feel bad for hitting him? His Royal Highness took things from Your Majesty's storehouse for me, blaming me for my lack of experience and not having seen good things. His Royal Highness felt sorry for me and brought those good things to me. Now that I have learned more, I can't afford this thing, so I'll give it back to you."

Su Nuan took off the hairpin on her head and handed it to Eunuch Cao, then said: "The rest are in the prince's mansion, I will take them back to you. If the emperor still wants to punish you, please punish me!"

Hearing Su Nuan's words, Mu Yunting's mouth corners, which he had tried hard to suppress, couldn't help but curl up.

"Of course you can't afford it." The emperor said angrily. Each of those jewels was a treasure. He was reluctant to give them even to the concubines in the harem. He reserved them to reward those who had made great contributions to the court.

"How can she not bear it?" Mu Yunting interrupted, "Father, have you forgotten what you rewarded me with after I quelled the rebellion in Mobei three years ago?"

"What did I reward you with?"

"Father praised me for my merits and asked me to go to your storehouse to pick out some things I liked. Now I like those jewelry."

The emperor's face changed when he heard this, and he turned to ask Eunuch Cao: "Is this true?"

Eunuch Cao broke out in a cold sweat, "It seems, it seems that this happened. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured and had been recuperating in the mansion and had not been in the warehouse. Later, after a long time, this old servant actually forgot about this matter."

After saying this, Eunuch Cao quickly turned around and knelt before the emperor.

"Damn slave, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Eunuch Cao fell to the ground and dared not speak.

The emperor said coldly: "Why don't you get out and accept your punishment?"

Su Nuan curled her lips and didn't explain clearly what the punishment was. She just said "I accept the punishment", which was clearly a way of letting him off.

Then the emperor said to Mu Yunting: "You bastard, if this happened, why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"

"I think Father remembers this."

The emperor was choked and speechless.

Su Nuan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Father is so busy, how could he remember so many things, especially from three years ago?"

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "You are a playboy. Well, since I have promised you this, I will give it to you. But you can't take all the jewelry with you. I will allow you to take out half of it and exchange it for other rewards."

What? You want something back after giving it away?

It seems that all the things are good and the emperor is reluctant to give them away.

But there was no reason to return something that had already been in her hands. It might have been unreasonable just now, but now that she knew the whole story, Su Nuan would definitely not return the things.

But how to refuse the emperor?
