Shen Yanjin's eyes, without a trace of warmth, met the old emperor's turbid eyes directly, and the ferocity in his eyes was almost unable to be restrained and overflowed.
"Sir, I'm sorry I can't obey your command."
The ministers took a deep breath. It was no wonder that they were making such a fuss. There were very few people who would go against the old emperor time and time again. The most important thing was that they dared to refuse the marriage granted by the old emperor.
That's an arranged marriage!
He refused the arranged marriage that so many people begged for. This was not only against the old emperor, but also against the Liu family. Doesn't Young Master Liu have some relationship with Prime Minister Shen?
After this incident happened, I guess everyone will go their separate ways and turn against each other.
However, it was the opposite of what they thought.
Liu Qianfo wished that Shen Yanjin would die to force her to refuse the marriage. He didn't want his own sister to marry someone who didn't love her.
Moreover, he knew something about Shen Yanjin hiding Xiao Xu in the mansion.
After his sister got married, she had to live alone in an empty house, while her husband had to guard a coffin. He really wanted to curse at her.
Seeing his repeated refusal, the old emperor's expression changed. He pursed his lips sternly and looked back at him with a cold gaze.
"My dear Lord Shen, I have already granted her marriage. There is absolutely no reason to withdraw the imperial decree. Even if something happens to her on the wedding day, you must marry her back to Qingxiu Mansion!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down..."
All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted loudly. At this moment, there was only one person standing upright in the entire hall.
"Sir, I'm sorry I can't obey your command."
Ana Shen repeated the sentence again, his eyes calm.
The ministers complained in their hearts: This guy is really asking for trouble! What's wrong with marrying one more woman? Isn't the more women the better? Who doesn't want to have many children?
If I only marry one, and she is infertile, wouldn't that mean my family line will be cut off?
Besides, the old emperor was about to explode with rage, didn't he feel it? Why did he still answer like that? Did he want to die?
"Even if you don't want to marry me, you have to marry me!"
Shen Yanjin frowned, and after a while, when all the ministers thought he had compromised, he said lightly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."
He said the same thing three times!
The first two times, he was on the verge of making the old emperor angry.
This last time really made the old emperor angry.
The old emperor flicked his robe, picked up a folded book, and threw it at Shen Yanjin who was standing upright.
Shen Yanjin took a step to the side without hesitation, and the memorial hit the deputy prime minister who was kneeling at his feet directly on the forehead.
With a thud.
...The deputy prime minister was knocked unconscious.
Suddenly, the hall fell silent. Everyone, except Shen Yanjin, was stunned. Even the angry old emperor turned pale and blue.
"Come here, help Lord Cao down and get the imperial physician!"
The guards outside the door then hurried in, picked up the unconscious deputy prime minister, and left quickly.
The anger was released and the person was beaten, although the person he beat was not the one he wanted to beat the most.
The old emperor's anger subsided a lot, but he still repeated what he said before: "My dear Shen, if that girl amazes me and makes me look at her with new eyes, I might consider it."
It's impossible for him to kick this guy he had worked his way up to prison into the Sky Prison just for an arranged marriage. If he did that, the people in the capital would surely make a scene at the gate of the palace. It would be better to come up with this method.
When the time comes, when he brings the girl into the palace, he will have a way to persuade her to share a husband with the legitimate daughter of the Liu family.
