Although she had long hoped to break off her engagement with Helian Cheng, she definitely did not want to do so under these circumstances.
How embarrassed is she now?
The Queen said, "You don't have to thank me so early. I haven't finished speaking yet."
Helian Cheng: ...
Then, the Queen looked at Helian Yun and Zuo Xinya and continued, "I just feel that since you two love each other, I will make you a promise today. No matter what choice you make today, I will never punish you!"
Hearing this, Helian Yun suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the queen, seeming very surprised.
Zuo Xinya was also surprised that the Queen dared to say such words in front of so many people. It seemed that she would definitely not make things difficult for them.
The Queen then asked, "I will ask these questions only once. Do you truly love each other and are you willing to stay together no matter what happens?"
Zuo Xinya was still hesitating, so Helian Sheng said, "I promise you this too. As long as you tell the truth, I will do my best to keep you safe!"
If they don't admit that they are in love, how can Helian Yun and Duan Qingxi's marriage break up?
If they don't disperse, how can he take action?
So, just be a good person no matter what!
When Helian Yun heard this, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
Since Helian Sheng said so, what is there for him to hesitate about!
He took Zuo Xinya's hand, looked at the Emperor and Empress, and said seriously, "Father, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, this son and I are truly in love! I beg you to grant us your blessing!"
Zuo Xinya didn't want to admit it at first, she was still a little scared.
But since Helian Yun has spoken, if she doesn't admit it, she's afraid she won't get any benefit from either side.
So she also kowtowed with Helian Yun, tacitly acknowledging that she and Helian Yun were in love.
I originally thought that the emperor and empress would lose their temper, but I didn't expect them to be so calm. They just looked very disappointed.
Helian Yun didn't think it was a big deal. As long as he could be with the one he loved and not be held accountable, it was already a good result. He didn't care about other things.
After a long while, the Queen finally sighed and said, "Well, since you insist on being together, then I have nothing to say. However, nothing is perfect in this world. It's not impossible for Miss Zuo to marry the Fifth Brother, but I only give you two choices."
"First, with Miss Zuo's status, you can only marry the Fifth Prince as a concubine. The Emperor and I will then select several wealthy young ladies to serve as his principal wife and concubines, and marry them all to the Fifth Prince. From now on, the Fifth Prince can only be succeeded by the principal wife's son. Even if the principal wife cannot give birth to a son or dies due to some other accident, Miss Zuo's son will definitely not inherit the Fifth Prince's position!"
"Secondly, if Prince Wu really wants to marry Miss Zuo as his principal wife, that's not impossible, but the Emperor and I will take back Prince Wu's position. From now on, you can only be an ordinary couple. But I can guarantee that no one will cause trouble for you. As for where you want to go, that's your business."
After a long pause, the queen asked, "Which one do you want to choose?"
Helian Yun understood why the emperor and the empress made such a choice. After all... even he himself could feel Lord Zuo's ambition.
He didn't do this to deliberately make things difficult for them, but was just worried that his identity as the Fifth Prince would boost Lord Zuo's power.
In the royal family, the emperor and empress could still treat them like this. They had done their utmost to be kind to him and Zuo Xinya.
After a long while, Helian Yun said, "Father, the Emperor, and Mother, I will choose the second one!"
As long as I can be with my loved one and not be held accountable, this condition is the best.
