Chapter 72 Admitting Fault

Seeing that Yu Jingchen ignored her, Nan Zhiyun suppressed her nervousness and called out again, "Your Majesty..."

Yu Jingchen finally deigned to look at her.

"Your Majesty, this consort knows she was wrong." Nan Zhiyun didn't know what she should do, but admitting fault was always the right thing to do.

"Where were you wrong? How could you be wrong? Aren't you usually the most well-behaved? You can actually make mistakes?" Yu Jingchen's tone was indifferent.

Seeing that it was useless, Nan Zhiyun hesitated for a moment and then simply stood up. "The book of the guest."

"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun called out and prepared to kneel.

"If you dare to kneel, I will have this bone in your knee removed!" Yu Jingchen's face darkened, and his tone naturally became harsher.

He hadn't spoken to Nan Zhiyun like this in a long time, so it suddenly felt like the old days. Nan Zhiyun was truly scared. However, after hearing Yu Jingchen's words, she dared not kneel. So, she stood there, appearing somewhat helpless and flustered.

Seeing Nan Zhiyun's reaction, Yu Jingchen realized that his attitude had been a little too agitated.

"I didn't mean to be harsh," Yu Jingchen softened his tone.

"Come here," Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun.

Nan Zhiyun naturally had no choice but to refuse. She took small steps and moved in front of Yu Jingchen. However, she never dared to look up or speak.

"Sit down," Yu Jingchen said again.

Nan Zhiyun glanced at the seat beside him and then slowly sat down.

"In the future, when I don't tell you to kneel, don't kneel on impulse. What kind of habit is this? And have you forgotten that your knee is still injured? You've recovered so quickly? It doesn't hurt anymore, so you're starting to act up again?" Yu Jingchen sounded somewhat preachy.

"You didn't eat much just now. Do you need anything else to eat now?" Yu Jingchen knew that Nan Zhiyun was frightened by his previous demeanor, so he asked an extra question.

Nan Zhiyun shook her head and replied in a small voice, "No need. This consort has already finished eating."

"Then, is there anything you want to do now?" Yu Jingchen asked.

"I don't know... Your Majesty, are you not angry anymore?" Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen anxiously.

Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I shouldn't be angry?"

"This consort already knows she was wrong and has remembered it. She will not make such a mistake again next time. Can Your Majesty stop being angry and not return to how you were just now and before?" Nan Zhiyun's eyes showed intense, heart-wrenching anxiety and a plea as humble as dust.

"Then tell me, where were you wrong? How will you avoid it next time?" Yu Jingchen asked, looking at Nan Zhiyun.

"This consort... this consort will not eat things that cause her allergies again next time, even though she knows she is allergic." Nan Zhiyun replied.

"Anything else?" Yu Jingchen asked.

"Also... this consort doesn't know if she can say it..." Nan Zhiyun bit her lip lightly.

"If you want to say it, just say it," Yu Jingchen's tone remained unchanged.

"This consort..." Nan Zhiyun clutched her handkerchief, still lacking the courage.

"I told you to say it. Don't be afraid. Tell me, what else is there?" Yu Jingchen slowly guided her, step by step.

"In the future... if this consort has any problems, can she directly tell Your Majesty? If this consort encounters something she dislikes or cannot do, can she refuse?" Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen with extreme caution, her handkerchief crumpled in her hand. Yu Jingchen saw all of this.
