Such grace was terrifying. Gu Xijiu felt insecure and uncomfortable. She bent her body and said, "I’m so grateful to have the blessing from Your Majesty. However, I’m just a normal girl. It’s not suitable for me to sit here. I shall go back to where I am supposed to sit." She turned around and left.
The Emperor held her back and said, "Xijiu, sooner or later you’ll be part of the royal family. You aren’t normal, have a seat."
Part of the royal family?
Gu Xijiu frowned. Did the Emperor still want her to marry Rong Yan? He was such a jerk!
According to the laws of the Feixing Kingdom, if Rong Yan were to be guilty of the death of Count Le Hua, he would be kicked out of the country as an ordinary citizen even if he were not beheaded.
Did the Emperor have another plan? Did he want to use her to help Rong Yan? She smiled but thought to herself, "Was he dreaming!?"
