Seeing Su Liyue being so decisive, Ye Cangming's brows unconsciously frowned under the mask, and a look of suspicion flashed across his eyes.
Doesn’t this woman want to divorce?
Why are you so self-conscious?
However, seeing Su Liyue start writing, Ye Cangming didn't think too much about it and just waited for Su Liyue to sign.
However, just when Su Liyue finished writing the word "Su", there was a noise at the door.
Then, a shrill and high-pitched voice sounded, "The imperial edict has arrived—"
Imperial edict?
Su Liyue's hand paused slightly, and a smudge of ink spread on the paper.
Ye Cangming also looked towards the door, his eyes slightly deep.
The two men saw Eunuch Xi walk in with a bright yellow imperial edict, followed by six eunuchs and four guards, each holding or carrying something in their hands.
This scene made the two of them feel confused, but they could only stand up and go forward.
Eunuch Xi looked at the two of them with a smile and bowed slightly to them.
However, when the two were about to kneel down to receive the decree, Eunuch Xi said, "The Emperor will just let you two stand and receive the decree."
After Eunuch Xi said this, Su Liyue became more alert.
Given the image of the emperor as an old fox in her mind, she had reason to believe that the emperor's "compassion" was not well-intentioned.
Not to mention Su Liyue, even Ye Cangming's eyes darkened a little after hearing what Eunuch Xi said.
Eunuch Xi naturally noticed the changes in the two people, but pretended not to see it and just calmly unfolded the imperial edict.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Princess Zhan, for her meritorious service in treating the Empress Dowager's illness, is granted a thousand taels of gold, ten pieces of cloth, and a box of jewelry..."
As Eunuch Xi finished reading, all the things were moved in front of Su Liyue and spread out one by one.
Who doesn’t like money, a material thing?
Of course, looking at these things in front of her, Su Liyue couldn't feel happy.
After all, the Queen Mother's illness was not really cured, it was just alleviated.
Is this enough to deserve such a huge reward from the emperor? Obviously, it is impossible.
There must be something fishy going on here.
Could it be that the emperor knew that he could not cure his illness, so he gave her some rewards so that she could enjoy herself while she was here and be buried with him when the time came?
Su Liyue was lost in thought, without a trace of joy on her face.
Ye Cangming just glanced at Su Liyue lightly, his eyes unclear.
"Princess Zhan, please accept the order." Eunuch Xi reminded with a smile.
Su Liyue had no choice but to accept the order.
"Your Highness, Princess, the Emperor has asked us to bring an oral message to you two." Lord Xi spoke.
"What's the oral instruction?" Ye Cangming's voice was emotionless.
Su Liyue couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling a little nervous.
Eunuch Xi smiled kindly, "The Emperor asked us to tell the prince and princess that there is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Now that the prince has returned victorious, he must live a good life and not go to that temple again."
After saying that, he looked at Su Liyue meaningfully, turned around and left without looking back.
Su Liyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the emperor's oral order would be this.
So, should I sign the divorce agreement or not?
Su Liyue subconsciously turned around to look at Ye Cangming, but before she could meet Ye Cangming's gaze, her neck was grabbed by a big hand again.
"Su Liyue, what did you say to father? Do you really want to be the Princess of Zhan? I will grant your wish!" Without the presence of Eunuch Xi, Ye Cangming was like an angry lion at this moment, his eyes were red and full of murderous intent, as if he had lost his mind.
Five years ago, his father forced him, and five years later, it was still the same.
And this time of pressure is likely to make him lose his Jiuer forever.
Because Jiuer said that once he betrayed her and had another woman, he would lose her forever and would never find her again.
Now, five years have passed, and he has lost Jiuer for five years. Jiuer finally reappeared and gave him hope again. Why did she force him again?
Su Liyue stared at Ye Cangming's bloodthirsty eyes and beat Ye Cangming's hands with all her might, but it was useless.
Ye Cangming seemed determined to kill her, his grip tightened, almost suffocating her.
As the shadow of death enveloped her, she heard the sound of someone kneeling.
"Master, if the princess dies, it will be difficult for you to explain to the emperor. Please think twice."
These words, like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminated Su Liyue's heart.
Su Liyue wanted to turn around and look at the figure, but she didn't have the strength.
The person who spoke was Fu Feng, who had always been following Ye Cangming with a stern face.
Seeing Fufeng kneeling and begging for mercy, although Linchuan didn't want to, he knew that if Su Liyue died now, the emperor would punish him.
After all, the emperor had just issued an imperial edict and oral instructions.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan also knelt down and said, "Master, please think twice."
Su Liyue’s life or death is not important, but the master’s future is important.
Perhaps Fufeng and Linchuan's words worked. Seeing that Su Liyue's resistance was getting weaker and weaker, Ye Cangming let go, although his heart was still burning with anger.
She really couldn't die now.
After all, five years ago, when his father was forcing him to marry her, he had said...
Thinking of the threat his father had inflicted on him by the woman in front of him, Ye Cangming became furious and threw Su Liyue to the ground.
Su Liyue, who was freed, fell heavily to the ground and started coughing violently.
Having been reborn, coupled with the humiliation she had endured today, the two times her neck had been strangled, and the Emperor hanging a knife over her head... Su Liyue's grievance and anger erupted together. She staggered to her feet, looked at Ye Cangming coldly, and said fiercely, "Ye Cangming, people's patience has its limits. If you strangle me again, I'll chop off your neck and feed it to the chickens. Just wait and see."
