Jiang Xingyu's voice and expression were sincere, leaving the Emperor unable to find any trace of lies.
The Emperor had no choice but to believe him. He was also very satisfied because Jiang Xingyu had preferred to hide his truth rather than expose it.
The Great Lord was also surprised and did not expect that his daughter had not disappeared, but fallen from the cliffs of the Yun Temple known as the Cliffs of Death. Ever since her daughter returned she never asked and now her heart feels guilty.
"You too have the blessing of this calamity. From now on let it all pass. The day to come is still very long. Forget the past and live well." The Emperor spoke kindly.
"The servant will follow His Majesty's teaching." Jiang Xingyu responded calmly.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction.
Jiang Xingyu naturally looked at the Emperor's satisfied expression. But the problem doesn't just end.
"Your Majesty, the Servant has a request and wishes His Majesty could grant it." Her speech.
"Yu 'er..." Although the Great Lord did not know what his daughter was asking for, He was sure it was not something good.
Before his words were finished, the Emperor raised his hand and now his gaze was fixed on Jiang Xingyu. "Say, what's your request?"
"Your Majesty, you know Servant has had a marriage contract with Prince Yuhao since she was a child. But all this time Prince Yuhao had never liked even the most hated Servant. If we were both married, we would only hurt each other. Therefore now the Servant pleads with His Majesty to cancel this marriage contract." Jiang Xingyu said as if he was not begging.
Making the Emperor and the Great Lord again shocked. They didn't believe it and even felt wrong to listen.
The Great Lord shuddered in horror. Her daughter's request clearly wanted to oppose the Imperial Decree. While the punishment against the Imperial Decree was not something to be played with.
He immediately knelt. "Your Majesty, this girl is speaking nonsense, please Your Majesty don't be angry."
He tilted his head slightly, looking at his daughter with a pair of warning eyes. "Yu'er, you can't say words like this casually. Quickly pull back and apologize to Your Majesty."
Actually Jiang Xingyu did not intend to oppose the Imperial Decree, but merely expressed his request. After all he did not yet have the authority to provoke an Emperor.
His request did not include opposing the Decree. Therefore the Emperor was not angry, instead was very curious. "Didn't you like Prince Yuhao so much? why change now?"
"Before the Servant was very foolish and did not know what love was. The servant only knew Prince Yuhao was the future Husband Servant, therefore the Servant continued to follow him. But now the servant understands. After all Prince Yuhao and Miss Lin were lovers who loved each other, why should the Servant be a villain and separate them? whereas all this time the reputation of the Servant was very bad, how could the Servant be qualified to become the Empress Prince Yuhao?" Jiang Xingyu did not hesitate to underestimate himself.
"How could you not qualify? your previous stupidity was just an accident. Also don't compare yourself to that arrogant Miss Lin. In terms of status you are above it. In terms of face, now you're much prettier than her. As long as you don't act like before, Zhen is sure that Prince Yuhao will love you with all his heart." The Emperor comforted like a wise elder.
After that his expression and tone turned serious. "Since the Old Age marriage has always been determined by the Elders. Moreover, your marriage was decided directly by your late Mother and Consort Shu. The Imperial decree has been announced. Although Prince Yuhao was unwilling, he still could not refuse this marriage. Now do you still want to reject and oppose the Imperial Decree?"
"Hamba doesn't dare." Currently Jiang Xingyu could only retreat.
"All right! Today's meeting was quite up here. Zhen's tired, you guys come back." Emperor Saying.
"Hamba says retreat. May the Emperor be healthy always and live long." After saluting, the two walked out of the Hall of the Study Room.
Coming out of the Hall, the Great Lord wanted to express his annoyance to his daughter, but undo it because after all it was still in the Palace.
How could Jiang Xingyu not know his Father's thoughts? He also sneered. "If you want to blame me, better put it down. It was just a useless act."
While walking towards the Main Gate, the Great Lord continued to think of many things. But the next second his mind was cut off by a voice that suddenly sounded behind him. "Mr Jiang, please wait a moment."
When the Father and Son couple heard the voice, they stopped and turned back.
The owner of the voice was a Woman wearing a Palace Dayang outfit. She is about 20 years old and her face is pretty. But her cynical expression was in stark contrast to her beautiful face.
Jiang Xingyu did not recognize the Woman, but the Great Lord recognized her very much. She was the Dayang Palace who was always beside Consort Shu.
"What did Dayang Wu Er call me?" The Great Lord asked politely.
"Mr Jiang, I'm here to look for Eldest Miss." Dayang Wu Er.
As a Dayang, Wu Er's tone was not appropriate. He does not call himself Dayang, but me. In this sense alone he looked down on the Great Lord and his Daughter.
"Oh! Why are you looking for me?" Jiang Xingyu's pair of brows furrowed unhappily.
"Miss misunderstood. Concubine Shu who is looking for Miss is not me, not me. Concubine Shu has not seen Miss for a long time and misses Miss very much. After hearing Miss coming to the Palace to meet Her Majesty, Consort Shu immediately sent me to invite Miss to Shuyi Palace after meeting Her Majesty. Inviting Miss to reminisce about the past." At the end of his sentence Dayang Wu Er's voice sounded mocking.
Jiang Xingyu was not the least bit surprised because he had expected this to happen sooner or later. What he did not expect turned out to be Consort Shu's actions one step faster than her Son.
On the other hand the two Great Lord's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance, worry as well as fear.
She was upset that in the past Consort Shu had always treated her Daughter badly. Now she fears her daughter will get the same ill treatment when she meets Consort Shu again. If he could, he would refuse this invitation.
Jiang Xingyu naturally understood the situation. If she refused, she was sure Consort Shu would not let her out of the Palace easily.
However whether he would get any more ill treatment, it all depended on whether Consort Shu had the ability or not.
"Dad, you go back first. Don't wait for me." Said to the Father.
"It's..." The Great Lord could do nothing, he said. "Dad will be waiting for you here."
"I'll be back soon." Jiang Xingyu nodded just like that.
"Lead the way." He spoke at a glance at Dayang Wu Er.
Dayang Wu Er did not say anything, just turned around and left. His walking posture was arrogant like he was not a Dayang.
Seeing the departure of his Daughter, the Great Lord's mind was extremely complicated. "My daughter, you should be fine." His mind unconsciously.
