Of course Yun Wanyao would not be unable to get married. Even if the emperor was unmoved, Yun Wanye had other backup candidates.
But now, the most suitable candidate in his mind has taken the bait, so there is no need for him to mention the backup plan anymore.
Instead, he felt at ease using it to scare Yun Zheng.
As parents, even if we are extremely powerful and can afford to support our children for a lifetime, we always do not want to see our children die alone.
"Yao'er will never be unable to get married."
Yun Zheng glared at him, feeling extremely annoyed.
If he had known this would happen, he should not have agreed to the late emperor and betrothed Yao'er to that kid Mo Yuanhao, which has made the situation so difficult now.
It is not right to cancel the engagement, and it is not right not to cancel the engagement.
"You little bastard, you are just greedy, right? You are so sullen all day long that you even don't let your own sister go. How could I have a son like you?"
What brother would be able to trick his own sister into sleeping with another man? I guess only this bastard could do it.
The more Yun Zheng looked at this kid, the more annoying he found him and he regretted not sending him back to the barracks earlier.
It would be fine if I just left this guy at home and let him be restless all day long, but he actually had evil intentions towards the emperor and his own sister. I'd rather make him die of anger.
“…”
The curse was indeed a bit harsh. Yun Wanye touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
After a moment, he muttered softly, "Dad didn't say that before. He even said that I was the greatest contributor to our Great Wu Nation. How could he turn against me so quickly..."
Yun Zheng: “…”
This kid dared to bring up this matter. He said that because he didn't know that the person this bastard was looking for was Yao'er.
"In my father's mind, other people's daughters can enter the palace, but your daughter can't. Your daughter is a daughter, but other people's daughters are not people?"
Yun Wanye continued to mutter softly.
Yun Zheng: “…”
Can it be the same?
What does someone else's daughter have to do with him? Of course, he cares about his own daughter.
"If all fathers in the world think like my father, then why would the emperor need to appoint a queen? Our Great Wu Kingdom should simply not have a crown prince. Whoever ascends the throne in the future should be prepared to live out his life in solitude."
"Anyway, the palace is not a good place, not suitable for women, so whoever becomes emperor in the future, please stay single. If that doesn't work, then appoint a male queen."
Yun Zheng: “…”
Listening to Yun Wanye's mumbling, Yun Zheng's mouth twitched fiercely and his face turned dark as he could no longer bear it.
"Shut up, you little brat. You're getting more and more outrageous."
What do you mean the emperor is a bachelor, and if that doesn't work, he can just make a male queen? What kind of treasonous nonsense is this? If the emperor heard about this, he would send someone to chop this guy off overnight? He just didn't want Yao'er to enter the palace, so how could it be linked to the emperor's retirement or making a male queen?
What kind of outrageous things is this kid thinking about all day long?
"My son is just telling the truth. Dad is getting more and more tired of hearing the truth."
Yun Wanye retorted weakly, then closed his mouth in disappointment.
And Yun Zheng did not go into the palace at night to bring Yun Wanyao out.
Firstly, Yun Wanye was keeping an eye on him and not allowing him to cause any trouble.
Secondly, after so much delay, if the emperor really wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. Even if he entered the palace now, it would be too late.
As for the third one, his mind was in a mess now, full of Yun Wanye’s mumblings.
Although those words were unpleasant to hear, they were also the truth. Yun Zheng suddenly didn't know what to do. He needed to calm down.
Fenghua Palace.
Mo Yuanlin asked someone to bring the gold-embossed brocade cloth, and in a short while he had drafted the imperial edict to cancel the engagement, in two copies, and stamped it with his seal.
After the ink dried, he read it carefully, then handed it to the beautiful girl sitting at the desk.
"The imperial edict has been written. Miss Yun, would you like to review it?"
Yun Wanyao had already started to lose focus when Mo Yuanlin said he was going to issue an edict. It was not until she heard these words that she came to her senses and respectfully took the light golden scroll with both hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She thanked him solemnly, then opened the brocade in her hand, and saw several lines of vigorous and powerful handwriting jumping into her eyes.
'The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Yun Wanyao, daughter of Duke Ningguo, has come to petition to dissolve her engagement with the Prince of Qi. After seven years of engagement, the Prince of Qi still cannot win Yun Wanyao's heart, which shows that this engagement is not a good one.
I do not want to force anyone to do anything, so I agree to Yun Wanyao's request and cancel the engagement between Yun Wanyao and the King of Qi. From now on, there will be no more relationship between men and women getting married. I decree this.'
Although the content of the imperial edict was not to her liking, as long as it reached Mo Yuanhao, her engagement with him would be completely cancelled.
Yun Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief. The haze that had been weighing on her heart for a long time completely dissipated at this moment, and she felt relaxed.
But soon, she couldn't help but think of Mo Yuanhao again.
No one knew whether Mo Yuanhao would secretly rejoice or would want to strangle her to death after receiving this imperial edict.
At this moment, a man's low warning voice sounded in my ears.
"Miss Yun, the emperor is not joking. The imperial edict has been written. It is too late for you to regret now."
Yun Wanyao looked up and saw him looking at her with deep eyes, which were filled with emotions she couldn't understand, but she could vaguely feel that he seemed a little unhappy.
Did she offend him again? Yun Wanyao shrank back, closed the imperial edict and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I don't want to regret it."
"That's best."
His tone seemed to be much better. Yun Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look secretly towards the door, only to see that it was still empty and the person she had been waiting for for a long time was nowhere to be seen.
Damn Yun Wanye, he hasn’t come back for such a long time, isn’t he afraid that she will expose him after she messes up?
Or did he already know that she had screwed up, so he ran away and left her here alone?
Could it be true? Yun Wanyao widened her eyes, feeling somewhat unbelievable.
Suddenly, she was picked up again.
With a bang, the imperial edict in their hands fell to the ground in shock, but neither of them even looked at it.
Yun Wanyao turned her head and saw Mo Yuanlin holding her, his black eyes looking at her with interest.
"What are you looking at?"
"Your Majesty..."
Yun Wanyao tensed up, her face wrinkled and she was about to cry.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
She was wrong, she shouldn't have seduced the emperor, but the emperor clearly knew that she had bad intentions, so why did he still do this? "What?"
He raised his eyebrows and looked with amusement at the pale-faced girl in his arms who was about to cry from fear.
Every time she saw him, she felt like a mouse seeing a cat. She guessed that he had left her with a psychological trauma back then.
Thinking of what happened that year, a hint of regret flashed across Mo Yuanlin's eyes.
Blame him for being dark and evil back then and scaring her.
It’s just that she was so young at the time, and so many years have passed, but she hasn’t forgotten it yet.
"It's getting late, my servant, it's time to go home. And why hasn't my second brother come back yet? I'm worried that he fell into the toilet, I want to go find him."
Yun Wanyao tried hard to force a smile, but in reality she was scared and panicked, her mind was a mess, and she almost lost the ability to think.
Mo Yuanlin: "..."
His brows twitched, he strode to the bed, held her and sat down.
"Do you know why Ah Ye hasn't come back yet? He did it on purpose. Miss Yun came to seduce me tonight. It was actually his idea, right?"
Yun Wanyao: “…”
She subconsciously wanted to shake her head to deny it, but before she could make any move, the man's careless voice continued to ring in her ears.
"I don't care what he is planning, but Miss Yun, before you came to seduce me, weren't you prepared for what would happen?"
Yun Wanyao: “…”
What preparations were made? Who in the Great Wu Kingdom didn't know that the emperor didn't like women? She just wanted to perfunctorily cheat out two thousand taels of silver. If she had known that things would turn out like this, she wouldn't have dared to do it.
"Aye, you must have gone home by now. Leaving you in the palace means that I will deal with you at my will. Why is Miss Yun in such a hurry to go back?"
Yun Wanyao: “…”
Damn Yun Wanye, has he really gone home? What should she do then? Yun Wanyao was somewhat confused, and kept cursing Yun Wanye in her heart. She deeply regretted her act of shielding him. If she had known that he was so bad, she should have exposed him.
"Your Majesty, don't you dislike women? You won't do anything to your servant, will you?"
She raised her head and looked at him with red eyes full of anxiety.
Hearing this, Mo Yuanlin was slightly startled, then he curled his lips and smiled, reaching out to touch her lips.
"Who told you that I don't like women, huh?"
“Everyone, everyone says that…”
She was shaking violently, but she didn't feel anything was wrong. Everyone said so, could it be that he didn't hear anything at all?
Besides, if he didn't dislike women, why didn't he even have a concubine?
Mo Yuanlin was so angry that he laughed.
"Oh, others made up stories about me at will, and Miss Yun not only believed them, but also made up stories in front of me. Miss Yun is really very capable."
"I know I was wrong. I will never again dare to make up stories about Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to calm down..."
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Although Yun Wanyao was not very smart, she could sometimes see the situation clearly. She knew that there would be no good in angering the emperor, so she immediately admitted her mistake.
As long as she is not punished, she can admit her mistake in any way.
"If you want me to calm down, it's not impossible. Just raise your head."
He narrowed his eyes and teased her endlessly. Even though he knew she was afraid of him, he still couldn't control the urge to scare her.
The inherent bad qualities of men are clearly revealed at this moment.
Yun Wanyao raised her head tremblingly, her beautiful eyes faintly red, and a hint of fear appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.
But in the eyes of men, she is like a fairy who can capture their souls.
His dark eyes narrowed suddenly, his throat became dry and rolled uncontrollably. He lowered his head slightly, moved closer to her, and a low voice sounded faintly.
"Kiss me."
