dn't stand it anymore, walked to An Xuetang's side, and said, "Mother, don't waste your words on this kind of person, just kill him.""You dare!" Cheng Ru'er's face suddenly changed, "My father is the...North Frontier King's involvement

Hearing this, the emperor's brow furrowed even deeper. Why was Mo Yunjing meddling in the affairs of Anle Houfu and the Ye family

Ye Yan knew the Emperor couldn't understand. He looked up at the Emperor and after a moment's hesitation, said, "Your Majesty, Lady Anle Hou had previously cared about King Bei Jiang. If Lady Anle Hou went to ask King Bei Jiang for help, King Bei Jiang would probably not refuse her."

The emperor didn't care. He snorted coldly, "Even if they go to find Mo Yunjing, so what Ye Qing, don't forget, the marriage between your two families was personally decreed by me. What can Prince Beijang do about it You should prepare for this marriage as you see fit. With me here, the Anle Houfu wouldn't dare to do anything."

He certainly hasn't forgotten about Xiao Qin from the Anle Hou Mansion who accidentally killed Ye Xiaoming. Although Anle Hou used that kind of secret to save his daughter's life, Anle Hou also promised to let Xiao Qin marry Ye Family's foolish son. He has already given the order, so what can Mo Yunjing do now

Can anyone dare to defy the imperial decree issued by His Majesty, the Emperor

Hearing the emperor say this, Ye Yan's lips twitched imperceptibly. Half of his purpose for coming today had been achieved.

He also only recently heard Li Wen say that the Jiang family boy actually dared to meet privately with Xiao Qin, and the two even dared to dream of being together.

He Yeyan would naturally not agree. Though this had happened a long time ago, he would never forget that Xiao Qin was the one who killed his most beloved son!

Of course, at first, he wanted to get even with Xiao Qin, a life for a life. But who knew that year the Emperor didn't punish Xiao Qin, but instead let her go free.

Later, the Emperor summoned him for a private conversation, saying that Anle Hou had provided him with a huge secret, and Anle Hou's purpose was naturally to save Xiao Qin's life.

Yeyan is not a fool. Since the Emperor sought him out for advice, it means the Emperor has already made a decision. The Emperor probably already agreed to Anle Hou's terms and asked Yeyan for his opinion simply to give him a way down, allowing him to step down gracefully.

So when the emperor asked him to state his demands, he simply said that the emperor should arrange for Xiaoqin to be betrothed to his own son, who was both feeble-minded and mute.

Once Xiaoqin entered the Ye family's home, how she was tortured and ultimately died within their walls, no one else could interfere. It was the Anle Houfu's affair, and there was no way to save Xiaoqin again.

Besides, he knew exactly why Xiao Qin was unwilling to marry his eldest son back then. Wasn't Xiao Qin in love with that young man from the Jiang family

His son is dead. How could he possibly stand by and watch Xiaoqin marry the boy from the Jiang family as she wishes

So, he must make Xiao Qin marry into the Ye family.

Now that the King of Beijiang is still a favored subject in front of the emperor, and the emperor seems to rely on him quite heavily, the people of Anle Houfu are setting their sights on the King of Beijiang. They plan to have the King of Beijiang petition the emperor to revoke the previous imperial decree of marriage.

He must get to the emperor before King Beijiang and bring this matter to his attention. He must also let the emperor know that he, Ye Yan, will not compromise on the marriage of Xiaoqin to the Ye family!

After the Emperor finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yan's expression with a heavy gaze. He didn't press him further, "Ye Qing, did you not hear what I said"

Ye Yan immediately kowtowed several times, his voice slightly choked with emotion. "Your Majesty, I only have one son, Ye Er. Your Majesty should have heard about his situation. I'm not worried about anything else, just that King Beijang will try his best to stop Xiao Qin from marrying into the Ye family. After all, considering my son's condition... no one would want to marry their precious daughter to him."

The Emperor frowned, listening to Ye Yan's words with great displeasure. He said in a deep voice:

"Ye Yan, can't you understand what I'm saying I said, your two families' marriage, just prepare as usual. As for Xiaoqin, she can only marry into the Ye family, she cannot marry anyone else."

But what if King of the North Border…

"Be bold!"

The emperor furiously slammed his fist on the table. "Have I given you my assurance What are you afraid of with King Beijang When did it ever become King Beijang's turn to have a say in Tianba Nation"

Ye Yan quickly admitted his mistake, "Your servant did not mean that. Your servant... Your servant knows his wrong, please forgive your servant."

As expected, the emperor is still the emperor. He dislikes anyone challenging his supreme imperial authority. He deliberately said those words to provoke the emperor, intending to anger him.

In this way, when the King of Beijang truly comes to the emperor with his demands, the emperor will absolutely refuse. No matter how much he trusts and relies on the King of Beijang now, given the emperor's temperament, it is impossible for him to allow the King of Beijang to challenge his imperial authority.

Upon hearing Ye Yan's apology, the Emperor recalled his relationship with Ye Yan over the years. He let out a slight sigh:

"Alright, I know you're also worried about your son. Rest assured, I'll take care of the marriage between your families. No one else can interfere."

Ye Yan immediately expressed his gratitude for the generous favor.

The emperor told Ye Yan to get up quickly. Ye Yan didn't continue kneeling, and the two chatted for a while before Ye Yan left.

After Ye Yan left, the emperor summoned his most trusted eunuch and ordered him to personally go to the residence of Duke Anle to inquire about the preparations for the marriage. If the Duke Anle's mansion lacked manpower, the palace would send people to help.

The old eunuch responded and hurried out of the palace.

Naturally, the Marquis of Anle and his wife would not forget their marriage engagement with the Ye family. As the wedding date approached, the Marchioness almost wept day and night, while the Marquis was helpless to do anything about it.

He had, in fact, considered having Xiaqin fake her death before. In his eyes, even if Xiaqin hid far away and lived an ordinary life, marrying someone unremarkable, it would be better than marrying into the Ye family.

But he had mentioned this idea to Xiao Qin before, but Xiao Qin was unwilling to leave under any circumstances. Of course, there was another reason why he didn't insist. He was also afraid that if he let Xiao Qin suddenly "die," the Ye family would have Xiao Qin buried with Ye Xiaoming, the eldest son of the Ye family.

If the Ye family really insisted on doing this, he couldn't guarantee he could save Xiao Qin.

This matter dragged on and on, unexpectedly dragging it all the way to today. Seeing that Xiaoqin's wedding day to Ye's family is just around the corner, how can they not worry

Lady Hou wiped away her tears, choking back a sob. “My Lord, are we really going to just watch as Qin'er marries into the Ye family Qin'er... no matter what, she is the one who killed Young Master Ye. If Qin'er truly marries into their family, will she even have a way out alive”

They are not fools, they can naturally guess the purpose of Ye family wanting Xiao Qin to marry into the Ye family.

Lord Anle looked at his wife's swollen eyes, sighing helplessly, "Now the outside of our mansion is full of spies. There's no need to guess who they are—they're all from the Ye family. Once we make any move, the Ye family won't let it go."

House Madam couldn't help but wipe away another tear. She suddenly remembered Mo Yunjing and turned to An Le Hou as if to say something, just as the steward came over and said that someone from the palace had arrived.

The couple glanced at each other, then quickly stood up and hurried out.atted with Fengming for a while. She didn't expect Mo Yunjing to come back so soon.To say I'm not feeling guilty right now would be a lie.Mò Yúnjǐng curled the corner of her lips into a smile, "Sit do...
