Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’re not young anymore.” The emperor had started the main topic, “Xijiu, I actually wanted you to be my daughter-in-law and that’s why I’ve appointed you a spouse when you were younger.
Unfortunately, Rong Yan, that bastard did sothing stupid and thus I’ve annulled both of your marriage contracts to prevent anything from affecting your future. But I do feel sorry for this, so, to compensate you, I’d have to appoint a good spouse for you so that you can be my daughter-in-law again, Rong Chu…”
How expected! Could she choose not to accept his compensation?!
She just managed to set a mid-level scum away and the emperor wanted to give her a high-level scum?
“Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness but I’m afraid that I’m unworthy to receive your blessing. After all, I’ve to enter the Dark Forest tomorrow and may not able to return. Therefore, if I’m engaged today, I’m afraid of bringing any trouble to the precious prince and that would be bad…” Gu Xijiu started to reject indirectly.
“Xijiu, it’s only because you’re entering the Dark Forest, that I urgently wanted to have you engaged. Firstly, good news would bring good luck; secondly, it could increase your confidence and the probability of you coming out safely. After all, a person with baggage would maximize one’s own potential for safety…” The emperor started nagging.
Gu Xijiu, “…”
Was she stuck in an ancient period of ti? The emperor unbelievably knew about her potential.
In fact, the dynasty was rather strange as it was not recorded in modern history books at all, yet the people of this generation knew the phrases of the ancient people. It seed that they knew all about the ancient people before the arrival of the Tang Dynasty.
But after the Tang Dynasty, the history seed to have been twisted and this dynasty which appeared to be a re imagination, one that could not be deduced from modern knowledge, had erged.
“Your Majesty, I do appreciate my life and I won’t lose it easily, despite not being engaged. I’ll try to co out with all my might…” Gu Xijiu spared no effort to stop the emperor from proceeding with his intentions.
The emperor beca slightly gloomy, “Xijiu, are you trying to disobey my decree?” His voice beca indifferent.
When the emperor got angry, an unknown amount of people would be decapitated. Therefore, the hall beca so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
Disobeying an imperial decree would not only be deed a capital cri, but it may cause the whole family to be exterminated completely too!
Gu Xietian could not help to reply, “Your Majesty, please do not be angry, Xijiu will not disobey your decree. This kid was just…just afraid that she would be troubling the prince if she was engaged with him, should she not be able to co out from the Dark Forest…Xijiu, His Majesty is rciful, you mustn’t harbor second thoughts anymore. Quickly show your appreciation!”
Gu Xijiu frowned as she was annoyed by the system where the emperor had the utmost power and whatever the emperor said was authoritative – one that all officials had to accept and execute regardless…
However, she knew that with her current ability, she could not change the circumstances.
Though she could disobey the decree and still survive, her family and friends would be troubled.
“Xijiu, let’s proceed according to our plan!” Rong Jialuo’s voice shot straight into her ears.
With determination, Gu Xijiu bowed, “Your Majesty, Xijiu gives thanks for your kindness! Xijiu is willing to listen to you.”
Soon after she said it, almost everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The emperor also beca gentler, “Xijiu, I knew you were a good girl, then…” When he was about to say sothing else, a eunuch rushed in, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Celestial Master is here, along with saint Yun Qingluo!”
Gu Xijiu’s heart missed a beat!
anwhile, the emperor had already stood up and said, “Quick, invite them in! My officials, co with to welco them!”
