Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Differential Treatnt
Ye Jiu, once a modern person, despised the practice of kneeling on a whim, yet at this mont, she had to kneel.
“Jiujiu pleas to Imperial Grandfather, spare the Ye Family.”
Seeing Ye Jiu like this, achieving the desired effect, the old Emperor was finally satisfied.
What does it matter if she is a person of destiny?
Despite being bestowed with great fortune by heaven, at this mont she was still unwilling to bow at his feet!
He was the master of this world, and whether it was the Tiger Talisman in Sikong Mo’s hand, or the fate and marriage on Ye Jiu’s body, as long as he wanted to control it, he had to be able to grasp it.
“Jiujiu, you must know that although Imperial Grandfather is the Emperor, even the Emperor is not omnipotent. In this world, everything cos at a price. So from the Ye Family dared to brazenly incite the people’s allegiance, a cri punishable by death. If I just let them go like this, how can I account to the officials of the Imperial Court, how can I account to the myriad populace?”
“What conditions does Imperial Grandfather have, just state them directly.” Ye Jiu said in a low voice.
Saying so much was ultimately just wanting to use the Ye Family to threaten her.
Seeing Ye Jiu speak so directly, the old Emperor no longer beat around the bush, saying: “Jiujiu also knows that in Dongyue, the War Prince Residence can be said to have ambitious wolves and stands as a singular power. Moreover, the War Prince Residence is a thousand miles away from the capital city, Imperial Grandfather truly cannot trust letting his most beloved granddaughter marry so far away!”
Ye Jiu felt her heart sink, “So… as long as this marriage is annulled, Imperial Grandfather will spare the Ye Family?”
The old Emperor’s eyes already carried a slight smile, “Where did Jiujiu co up with such talk, your and the War King’s marriage has been arranged, whether it succeeds or not, naturally it is up to you to decide. As for the Ye Family, the cris they committed could be big or small, mainly, if the Ye Family were released just like that, it would be hard to silence the public, and the dignity of the Imperial Family, would it not beco sothing anyone can offend!”
“I understand the Emperor’s intentions.”
“It’s good that you understand, I am thinking for your sake, there are many outstanding n in this world, not only the War King is exceptional enough.”
“The Emperor really is painstakingly considerate for ?”
“Alright, there’s no matter in the world that can’t be solved. Since you already know how to choose, I will not mistreat you.”
The smile in the old Emperor’s eyes deepened, but he hadn’t noticed that Ye Jiu’s form of address had changed from Imperial Grandfather to Emperor.
“In that case, Jiujiu will first thank the Emperor on behalf of the Ye Family for his grace.” Ye Jiu said, “If the Emperor has no more business, Jiujiu will take her leave first.”
“Go and see your Imperial Grandmother, she’s been talking about you these days.” The old Emperor added.
“When I ca, Father said he had sothing to discuss with , today it’s really inconvenient to stay long, another day Jiujiu will definitely visit again.” Ye Jiu said.
“Since that’s the case, then you may leave first.” The old Emperor said.
After all, the goal was achieved, whether she stayed or not was not so important anymore.
The old Emperor’s initial intention was rely to sway her a bit, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so it’s not urgent now.
Delaying a bit is also good, lest being too eager makes her think she’s very important!
Just as Ye Jiu left the Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince ca over.
He entered with a sullen face.
“You’ve also co for the Ye Family’s matter?” The old Emperor asked directly.
The Crown Prince’s previously angry face turned puzzled, “Father knew I would co?”
The old Emperor smiled helplessly, “Don’t worry, I’m just giving the Ye Family a lesson, a few mud-legged commoners, are they really worth you making this trip specially!”
