So, after a while, Xia Bangyuan couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Xia Bangyuan's hands and feet were numb and he was shaking uncontrollably.
But he didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly adjusted his posture and knelt down again.
The emperor pretended not to see anything and continued writing.
Su Qiqi looked at the emperor and then at Xia Bangyuan, feeling confused.
What on earth does this tyrant want to do? This is just embarrassing.
[But Xia Bangyuan deserved it! Xia Yinfeng and her family are no good!]
In the original storyline, the Xia family caused chaos and ruin for the Shen family. I was so angry that my teeth itched. Now, seeing Xia Bangyuan being tortured, I finally feel relieved!
[However, these people are inherently evil, and now that they've been punished by the tyrant, will they resort to further mischief if they're cornered?]
The door opened and cold air poured in.
Xia Bangyuan shuddered all over and trembled with cold.
"emperor."
Outside the door, a first-rank guard with a sword walked in quickly.
He leaned over to the emperor's ear and whispered a few words.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "I know, wait."
"Yes." The guard stood aside.
After this incident, the emperor finally put down his pen and turned his gaze to Xia Bangyuan in the hall.
"A very sad and beautiful story has been circulating in the capital these past two days. Everyone says that the story is about the past of the Cavalry General and the young lady of the Xia family. Xia Qing, what are your thoughts?"
"This...I, I don't know."
Xia Bangyuan didn't know what the emperor was planning, so he didn't dare to say much and could only pretend to be confused.
However, how could a king who could stand out from the crowd of princes and sit on the throne be a fool? How could he be fooled by just a few words?
"You don't even know what's going on with your own daughter. You're unworthy of being a father. If you haven't even fulfilled your fatherly duties, how can you be an official?"
The emperor's two cold words frightened Xia Bangyuan into panic.
He briefly considered what the emperor had just said.
Is the Emperor blaming him for not caring about his children? Is the Emperor going to dismiss him from his post?
No! He has worked so hard to get to where he is today! He cannot lose his position!
The Emperor still seems to care about Yinfeng! The Emperor doesn't dislike Yinfeng!
Now that things have come to this, it’s better to fight for Yinfeng again.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xia Bangyuan kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter and the Cavalry General have been childhood sweethearts, entangled in love and hate. As a result, their past has been passed down by the people. Now, I have sacrificed my entire reputation for my beloved. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me."
"Oh,"
The emperor laughed.
He was just waiting for Xia Bangyuan to say this.
"You, go to the Xia Mansion in person."
After saying that, he picked up the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago on the table and threw it to the first-rank sword-bearing guard.
"I obey your order." The guard responded and left with the imperial edict.
Xia Bangyuan was overjoyed: "It's an imperial decree! It's an imperial decree! The emperor is granting a marriage between Yinfeng and Shen Jiarui. Their family has finally reached a higher level."
"Your Majesty, I bow to you in gratitude. Long live the Emperor!"
Xia Bangyuan smiled happily and kowtowed to the emperor to express his gratitude.
