Although the Emperor did not allow Xie Yuqing to leave the capital, he could only stay in the capital temporarily.
However, Xie Yuqing had secretly worked with Xia yexu to stir up trouble in the capital city.
Under the secret operation of the two, the fight for the throne among the princes became even more intense.
The Emperor had killed his unremarkable son as a warning.
He was a ruthless Emperor to begin with. He was able to ascend to the throne back then because he killed his brother.
At the same time, he couldn't wait to settle down for his daughter as soon as possible.
So, he summoned Xie Yuqing again and ordered her to cancel the family's engagement and marry Xia yejiao.
Xie Yuqing still refused.
"Xie Yuqing, this is my order," the Emperor said viciously.
"Emperor, the princess is the Pearl in the emperor's palm. This commoner does not want to wrong the princess."
