Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 373 - 373 | Ye Tian Yun's Marriage & Butler Liu's Dispair



The Emperor's Courtyard.

This was the place where Emperor Ye's true self was mostly at, if not the Upper Heavens.

​​

The Courtyard was simple and serene, with no special decoration; however, it had a majestic aura around it, making anyone bow down to its glory.

The fake Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but gulp when he entered the courtyard. After all, he was going to meet the real body of Emperor Ye. Not that he hadn't ever met him before, but he didn't wish for the Emperor to misunderstand.

But there was no way his identity would remain hidden.

'I just hope he doesn't get offended.'

The Eunuch didn't go in and gestured at the Crown Prince to go forward.

The Crown Prince took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Soon he was in the main hall and found himself facing the back of a man.

The man was, of course, none other than Emperor Ye, Ye Tian Xuan.

He was standing in front of a huge window overlooking the Imperial City.

"Hm?"

As soon as this sound of confusion reached his ears, the fake Crown Prince couldn't help but have cold sweat trickle down his back.

"Interesting."

Emperor Ye said as he turned around to make eye contact, "Well, I was sure the rumors had some truth, but I didn't think it would be this serious."

"Cough, your majesty, I can explain." The fake Crown Prince had never noticed this, but today, the floor was quite beautiful.

"There's no need for an explanation. If someone else dared to do this, be it for the good of Yun'er or bad, he would have definitely gotten a huge punishment. But it turned out to be you, Brother Liu. I am more amused seeing you like this. Now, call me father, and I will forgive you."

The fake Crown Prince, who was Butler Liu in disguise, coughed. 

"I apologize, your Majesty. But I had no choice."

Emperor Ye smirked, "Hehe, Brother Liu, all will be forgiven if you call me father. Also, didn't I tell you not to use honorifics when no one's around? You're my closest friend, and there's no need for such bullshit."

Butler Liu gulped, "Cough, Brother Ye, the honor of calling you father is too much for me."

Emperor Ye rolled his eyes, "Sigh, as long as you consider me your father in your heart, I would be satisfied. By the way, do you know where Ye Tian Yun is these days?"

Butler Liu couldn't help but sigh, "I apologize, Brother Ye; however, the Crown Prince didn't tell me anything before he left."

"Oh? That's rare. He shares almost everything with you. You know things that I have no idea about. But he didn't even mention where he was going?"

Butler Liu shook his head, "No, I don't know. I only know that he went to the Lower Heavens, and he was last seen in the tavern where he asked for information about the things happening in Lower Heavens. I know all this because he went disguised as myself."

"Hmm," Emperor Ye nodded his head, "I have called you for something important."

"Yes, Brother Ye, do tell." Butler Liu frowned.

"I want you to go to the Lower Heavens and bring back Ye Tian Yun.

"Lower Heavens? Did something happen?"

"Yes, well, many things have happened," Emperor Ye replied, "The princess of the Great Ling Clan is betrothed to Ye Tian Yun."

"What? When did this happen!?" Butler Liu almost shouted.

He had never heard of even the slightest news or rumors about such a thing.

This was shocking news for him.

No, this was shocking news to the whole Middle Heavens!

Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was not a small figure - his mere presence made him the center of attention wherever he went.

The matter of his marriage would, of course, shake the heavens!

"Your majesty, this… are you sure about this?" Butler Liu could only muster these words out of tens of questions in his mind.

The Emperor shrugged, "It was inevitable - but that's not the main topic. I have two jobs for you."

"The Lower Heavens…" Butler Liu frowned.

Emperor Ye thought for a moment and replied, "Yes. Find Ye Tian Yun and then take him to my brother's house to bring Princess Ling of the Great Ling Clan here, to the Middle Heavens."

"Your brother… Heavenly King Wang!?" Butler Liu thought for a moment, and something dawned upon him, "Your majesty, so the Great Ling Clan hid the girl in Heavenly King Wang's house?"

Emperor Ye nodded his head, "Yes, and take this," he said as he took out a scroll from his spatial ring, "This will take you to my brother's place."

"Um… Your Majesty… I don't dare to say no to you… but… won't Heavenly King Wang… kill me as soon as he sees me?" Butler Liu gulped.

"Maybe, but most probably not. My Sister-in-law will save you."

"And what about Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun, your majesty? How will I find him? He could be anywhere in the Lower Heavens…" This was what confused Butler Liu the most.

Emperor Ye smiled, "Don't you worry about that. With your cultivation, it won't take long. And now, here's the second thing that I want you to do."

"Yes, Brother Ye?" Butler Liu asked.

Emperor Ye remained silent for a while before saying, "I want you to bring your son back to the Middle Heavens."

"This…" 

"I know there are still hidden troubles that you're facing, but that kid has been like that for sixteen years now. It's time you get him back. Don't worry about his safety, we will just put him with Ye Tian Yun."

"Brother Ye, it's not that I -"

Just than -

*crack!*

A sudden oppressing aura filled the courtyard -

"That…" Emperor Ye stood up and frowned at Butler Liu.

The aura was actually coming from Butler Liu!

To be more specific - it was coming from the pendant on his neck!

Butler Liu took out the pendant and stared at it as horror and despair welled up in his eyes.

He raised his head, and looking at Emperor Ye; he whispered, "My son…"

"Let's go!" Emperor Ye moved and put his hand on Butler Liu's shoulders - both of them disappeared in the next moment.
