The emperor immediately dropped his pen, hurriedly helped the man up, and said with a face full of doubt, "What are you saying, my dear minister? You are in your prime, and the Great Xuan cannot do without you!"
"Then please, Your Majesty, withdraw your imperial decree."
The emperor glanced at the marriage decree he had bestowed upon the Crown Prince and Wan Ge, then asked with some doubt, "This... does Wan Ge not like the Crown Prince?"
Don't they still have feelings for each other? Didn't they say they could have a marriage by imperial decree? Why is it not possible now?
General Jian paused for a moment, then immediately replied, "Yes."
Actually, he didn't know whether his daughter liked the Crown Prince or not, but he still didn't want his daughter to jump into this fire pit, so he decided to let it go.
"Since that's the case..." Although the emperor was heartbroken at losing a good daughter-in-law, if Wan Ge was unwilling, then he would have no choice but to withdraw the imperial edict.
Just then, a voice came from the doorway again: "Father, wait a moment!"
The Crown Prince didn't wait for anyone to announce his arrival; he had just arrived at the door when he heard the general requesting His Majesty to rescind the imperial edict.
Then, hearing that his father seemed to want to agree, the Crown Prince couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly pulled Wan Ge to push open the door of the Imperial Study.
"Ge'er?" General Jian looked at the Crown Prince leading his daughter in, somewhat puzzled.
Wan Ge also pulled General Jian aside: "Father, why do you want to ask His Majesty to withdraw the imperial decree?"
"Huh?" General Jian was somewhat bewildered: "You're willing to marry the Crown Prince?"
Having just escaped the Third Prince's hellhole, are we about to fall into another one?
"I am willing. The Crown Prince and I are truly in love."
"You..." General Jian was stunned. Hadn't his daughter just gone through a failed relationship? How could she have fallen for someone new so quickly?
However, the Crown Prince is indeed quite good. Although he has some reservations about the Emperor's children now because of the Third Prince's affair.
But putting aside that slight prejudice, the Crown Prince was indeed a very good person. He was intelligent from a young age, a benevolent ruler, and promoted many policies that were good for the people.
His mother came from a scholarly family, and the Crown Prince bore a slight resemblance to the Empress. He was also more handsome than the Third Prince, but regardless, the Crown Prince was still a member of the royal family, and thus...
Besides, how can someone break off an engagement with their younger brother and then get engaged to their older brother? That doesn't make sense!
The Crown Prince also spoke to his father, the Emperor, and soon His Majesty looked at the imperial edict in General Jian's hand.
"The Crown Prince says he will marry no one but Wan Ge in this life. If I cannot marry Wan Ge, then my grandson will have to be given to another prince. What do you think, Minister Jian?"
"The matter of the imperial grandson is indeed of great importance. In that case, Your Majesty, would you please pretend that I was never here today?"
"Very well, I did not see Minister Jian today. How about we choose an auspicious day together tomorrow, Minister Jian?"
"Yes, this subordinate takes his leave." After replying, General Jian immediately left with his daughter.
After they had all left, the emperor turned his gaze back to his son, his eyes filled with a smile, and slowly said, "This is the first time I've seen my son so anxious. It seems that my son really likes Wan Ge."
"Yes, I love her very much."
"Do you know what she will suffer after you admit to loving her now?"
"If I can't even protect one person, then what right do I have to say I love him?" Xuan Yi asked his father.
