Just as Yuan Zhao was wondering if she had misheard, Rong Ruo lifted his eyelids to glance at her and said:
"I have asked the Emperor to grant us a marriage!"
Yuan Zhao: "..."
Yuan Zhao felt as if something in his brain had snapped off.
A marriage decreed by imperial decree!
She and Rong Ruo!
She found it utterly absurd.
After a long while, she finally found her voice:
"Has the Emperor agreed?"
When she opened her mouth, she was startled; her voice was extremely hoarse.
"yes!"
Yuan Zhao: "..."
She couldn't help but laugh in anger. The emperor would actually agree to such an absurd thing; he was actually going to bestow a marriage upon a eunuch.
A eunuch, and a woman who divorced her husband and returned to her parents' home.
She could already foresee the sensation this imperial edict would cause.
However, she didn't have time to think about that now. Right now, all she could think about was why Rong Ruo would make such an absurd suggestion.
Thinking this, she asked the question.
Rong Ruo naturally couldn't say he wanted to pass through the famous road; he had even prepared his excuse beforehand, and said calmly:
"You know too much. I can only feel at ease if I keep you under my watchful eye."
Yuan Zhao: "..."
Yuan Zhao cursed Rong Ruo's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
In two lifetimes, she never imagined that she couldn't escape this jinx in either life, and that she would even have to marry him this time.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhao said:
What if I disagree?
Rong Ruo narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and let out a cold laugh:
"You think I'm discussing this with you?"
As if knowing what she was thinking, he gave a soft hum and said:
"If you disagree, you can also have your father defy the imperial decree."
Yuan Zhao: "..."
Looking at Rong Ruo's stunning face, Yuan Zhao wished he could slap him.
How can there be such a shameless scoundrel in the world?
She had genuinely worried about the poison he had been poisoned, but now it seems she had been deluding herself.
Disobeying the imperial decree?
He knew perfectly well that the Emperor was very wary of the Yuan family and was looking for a pretext to find fault with them, yet he still dared to say such a thing.
It's no wonder the Emperor agreed to his absurd proposal; the Emperor probably wanted to use this matter to pressure his father and brothers.
Everyone knew that her father and brothers doted on her to the extreme, and they would certainly not agree to such an imperial decree.
The emperor wanted to force his father and brother to defy the imperial decree and rebel, and then take the opportunity to eliminate them.
How vicious!
Yuan Zhao bit her lower lip hard until it bled before she calmed down.
Upon seeing this, Rong Ruo frowned slightly.
He hadn't expected Yuan Zhao's reaction to be so strong.
Is she really that unwilling to be with him?
Thinking of this, Rong Ruo's expression grew even more unpleasant.
The two faced each other in silence for a long while before Yuan Zhao finally spoke:
"Then, I look forward to your guidance from now on, Chief Supervisor."
She had completely calmed down by this point.
It's just getting married, isn't it?
It's not the first time, and besides, even if it happens again, it's still the same.
She didn't want to be Rong Ruo's enemy, but he insisted on forcing her.
If that's the case, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
Yuan Zhao hid all his emotions in his heart and simply looked at Rong Ruo calmly.
Rongruo was unaware of her thoughts, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.
"My lord, there is one more matter. Could we postpone this for now?"
Yuan Zhao said calmly:
“I need some time to persuade my father and brothers.”
She knew her father and brothers would never agree; they would never allow her to marry Rong Ruo, no matter what the reason, even if it was an imperial decree.
The only way is because she likes it!
Just like in her previous life, they didn't want her to marry Zhou Shiyuan, but because she liked him, they relented.
The only thing that can make them compromise is themselves.
She had to appease her father and brothers first.
Hearing her words, Rong Ruo nodded and said:
"I will give you one month."
