Chapter 15 I am giving her a chance to regret
Having said that, he had a smile on his face, and he looked relaxed and happy.
When Xiao Yanci reached the door, Emperor Defeng hurriedly called him back.
"etc."
"Father, do you have any other instructions?"
Emperor Defeng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's postpone this imperial decree for a few days."
"Father, you are not going back on your word, are you? You are the Son of Heaven, and your words are not to be trifled with."
Emperor Defeng's face was stern. "How could I go back on my word? There are very few women in this world who dare to initiate a divorce. What if this Miss Lu was just impulsive and didn't really want to divorce? Once this imperial decree is issued, it will be impossible to reverse the situation. I am giving her a chance to regret it."
He had already made a mistake in issuing an imperial edict, and he didn't want to make another mistake in issuing an imperial edict for divorce.
Xiao Yanci was very sure that she would not regret it.
The fact that she was able to run an industry as large as the Taicang Commercial Bank and was able to make such a bold decision in the battle of Xiping shows that this woman has a resolute character and is definitely not the kind of person who is indecisive.
But for some reason, Xiao Yanci did not refute.
He put on a smile and said, "Father is really thoughtful."
Emperor Defeng raised his hand again and angrily drove the man away. Xiao Yanci took the imperial edict and left quickly.
He picked up the memorial and began to review it. After a while, he stopped and turned to ask, "Did Chu Yi'an assign any tasks?"
Feng Youcai bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, according to the process, it seems that they have not yet been assigned."
Emperor Defeng's eyes darkened. "Although this boy has some wisdom, he is still too young. He is easily impetuous after being promoted too quickly. He should be tempered and matured."
Feng Youcai agreed, "Your Majesty has thought it through."
According to Chu Yian's merits, he should be rewarded handsomely, but who made him fail to handle his family affairs properly and make the emperor suffer from being unpopular with everyone?
The emperor did not punish me, which is already a mercy outside the law.
After leaving the palace, He Yun finally found the opportunity to ask his Highness, "Your Highness, when do you plan to announce the imperial decree?"
Xiao Yanci spoke in a leisurely tone, "Isn't that Chu Yian planning to hold a wedding banquet? This is such a rare and precious event, so naturally I have to go and ask for a glass of wedding wine. On such an auspicious day, isn't it the perfect time to announce the decree?"
He Yun gave him a thumbs up, "As expected of you, you're quite mean!"
Xiao Yanci glanced over coldly, and He Yun immediately raised his hand and slapped himself, "Look at my broken mouth. Chu Yian and Doctor Zhao are in love with each other. Your imperial decree of divorce is the icing on the cake. It is the best wedding gift for them both."
Xiao Yanci: "You've spoken sensibly."
He Yun rubbed his hands secretly, feeling slightly excited.
That scene is so exciting just thinking about it, I can't wait to watch the show.
"Also, you can secretly give a push to the matter that Tan Xuwen is investigating."
In the past few days, Lu Zhiran has been sorting out her own business and preparing for divorce.
She did not pin all her hopes on the imperial decree of divorce.
Xiao Yanci felt that even if she didn't get the imperial decree for divorce, she could still divorce in a decent manner on her own and make a comeback in a beautiful way.
In consideration of his life-saving grace, Xiao Yanci planned to help her again.
He Yun scratched his head. "The Emperor has withheld the imperial edict. Miss Lu must be worried because she thinks something has happened."
Xiao Yanci stroked the edge of the imperial edict, "Then send someone to tell her."
…
After obtaining the imperial decree for divorce, Lu Zhiran was in a good mood and slept comfortably at night.
The next day, she still stayed indoors, waiting for the imperial edict to arrive.
Just as he was concentrating on using the abacus, Nanny Jin walked in with a puzzled look on her face, holding an unopened letter with the words "Personally from Miss Lu" written on it in large letters.
"Miss, I just saw this at the door."
Lu Zhiran reached out to take it, frowning slightly.
Completely unfamiliar handwriting.
Just as he was about to open it, Dan Yan's voice came from outside.
"Sir, my young lady is busy."
Chu Yian's voice was exceptionally cold. "This is the Marquis' Mansion, not the Lu family. There are no young masters or young ladies here. If you can't even distinguish between a few names, then get lost and go back to the Lu family!"
Lu Zhiran walked out from the inner room and said, "I told them to call me that. If you have any anger, just come to me."
Chu Yian's face was filled with anger. "Lu Zhiran, you are increasingly looking down on me."
Lu Zhiran said calmly, "Is this why you came to me to make a scene?"
She always looked so nonchalant, as if she was a joke, which made Chu Yian even more annoyed.
He asked angrily, "Did you go to the palace to see the emperor yesterday?"
Lu Zhiran nodded calmly, "That's right."
"Shuning told me you had entered the palace, but I didn't believe it. I never thought it was true. I never thought you were so vicious. For your own selfish desires, you dared to report it to the emperor!"
Yesterday, Concubine Li suddenly fell ill in the palace, and Zhao Shuning was urgently summoned to the palace for treatment. She heard about Lu Zhiran entering the palace from the little palace maid beside Concubine Li.
Lu Zhiran frowned and looked at him, "I have never complained to the emperor."
Chu Yian's rage intensified, and he practically gnashed his teeth as he spoke, "Who else could it be but you? All the soldiers who fought alongside me in Xiping were reassigned, but I wasn't. I went to the Ministry of Personnel to inquire, but instead of being attentive, they were sarcastic and ignored me. In the end, I never received a transfer order."
"I wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor, but I only stood outside the imperial study for half a day. I was a major contributor to the Battle of Xiping. If someone hadn't said something to the emperor, why would his attitude towards me change so drastically?"
"The imperial decree to confer the title of Imperial Edict on Shuning has already been issued. You know full well that you can't get the Emperor to revoke his order, so you turn around and attack me, hindering my future. Lu Zhiran, you are so vicious!"
Lu Zhiran looked at him coldly, "I said, I never complained to the emperor. I had other matters to attend to. As for why you were ignored, you should reflect on whether you have been wrong in your conduct, instead of just looking for reasons from others."
Chu Yian didn't believe her at all. "Then why did you enter the palace? How can you, a mere woman in the inner chamber, discuss family and national affairs with the emperor?"
Facing this mad dog, Lu Zhiran had no good temper at all.
"What I do in the palace is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
Chu Yian stared at her coldly. She was so beautiful that one couldn't take his eyes off her. He had been attracted by her before.
Now, he looked at this face with only disgust.
She has a glamorous appearance, but she is a vicious snake inside.
"You dare not take responsibility for what you did. You are so hypocritical. If I had known you were such a person, I would never have married you!"
These words pierced Lu Zhiran's heart deeply. She also felt regretful, regretting that she had married this man for both of her lives!
"You must stay in your yard during this period of time. You are not allowed to go anywhere before Shuning and I complete our wedding!"
After saying this, he angrily turned away.
