The empress dowager was perplexed when she saw the strange look in her son's eyes.
Emperor Wu felt conflicted.
The empress dowager had been doing everything in her power to sabotage the marriage. If she knew what she was doing…
Emperor Wu wanted to laugh.
He wanted to tease the old lady.
He knew the answer, but he wouldn't tell her.
Instead, he said, "Mother, the Divine Phoenix Blood is so hard to come by."
The empress dowager glared at him and snorted. "I've made up my mind. Only the Divine Phoenix Blood is good enough for Junjun!"
Emperor Wu said, "Well, we do have True Phoenix Blood."
The empress dowager said, "No, that's not good enough."
She glared at Emperor Wu. "Why won't you give me a straight answer? Have you forgotten that Junjun is your son? He has to marry a girl with the Divine Phoenix Blood! There's no other option!"
Behind Emperor Wu, Empress Dugu looked upward, trying to ignore the conversation.
