"Your Majesty once promised me that if there was a great victory on the border, he would cancel my engagement with the Liu family."

"Now that the border is stable, I only wish to be with Fang Qingyue for the rest of my life. I beg Your Majesty to grant my permission."

As soon as the words fell, the imperial study fell into silence.

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, with a hint of thought.

He did not respond immediately, but picked up the teacup and gently blew away the tea foam in the cup.

Putting down the teacup, with a faint smile on his face, he said, "Lord Shen, I did make this promise."

"It's just that...the Liu family is a prestigious family in the imperial court, and your engagement with Liu Yunyun has been set for many years."

"If it is lifted rashly, it will probably cause quite a stir."

When Shen Yuhan heard this, a hint of calmness flashed in his eyes.

The emperor intended to delay, but he also understood that he had to come up with a more compelling reason: "Your Majesty, although the Liu family is a noble family, I am determined to live up to Fang Qingyue in this life."

"Since entering the court, I have devoted myself to the country, and now the border is stable."

"I wish to loyally assist Your Majesty throughout my life and safeguard the stability of the Great Zhou. I hope Your Majesty will fulfill my sincere wish."

The emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on Shen Yuhan, as if thinking about something.

He did not agree immediately, but smiled calmly: "My dear Shen, you are loyal and devoted, I know it very well."

"It's just that this matter involves many ministers in the court, so I need to consider it carefully."

"Don't worry, I won't force you, but I have to give an explanation to the Liu family."

"What do you think?"

Shen Yuhan's heart sank slightly, but his face remained respectful: "Your Majesty is wise. I only hope that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible to avoid any trouble in the future."
