"That's not young either." The Emperor started to talk about the main topic, "Xijiu, I've always liked you as my daughter-in-law, so I've already arranged a marriage for you. However, Rong Yan, that little bastard, has done something stupid and is not worthy of you. That's why I've canceled the marriage for you so that it won't affect your future. However, I've always felt guilty about it. In order to compensate you, I have to arrange a good marriage for you and let you be my daughter-in-law. Rong Chu … "
Here it comes! She did not want his compensation, could she?!
She had just set a trap and kicked away a middle-level scumbag, and now the Emperor wanted to give her a high-level scumbag?
"Your Majesty, I'm very grateful for your favor, but I'm not lucky enough to accept your gift. I'm going to be thrown into the Dark Forest tomorrow, and most likely I won't be able to make it out alive. If I really arrange a marriage, I'm afraid that I'll be cheating the honorable prince, and it won't be nice …" Gu Xijiu started to reject him.
"Xijiu, it's because you're going to enter the Dark Forest that I'm so anxious to arrange a marriage for you. Firstly, it's a joyous occasion, and secondly, it's to increase your confidence to make it out alive, so that you'll have a higher chance of making it out alive. Only when you have something in your heart will you be able to unleash your full potential … "The Emperor started to bluff.
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
Was this still the standard ancient times? The Emperor actually knew about potential …
In fact, this dynasty was quite strange. It did not exist in the modern history books, but the people of this era knew some ancient words and phrases. It seemed that they also knew about the ancient people before the Tang Dynasty.
However, the history after the Tang Dynasty seemed to have taken a turn, and there was a very mysterious era. Many things could not be deduced with modern knowledge …
"Your Majesty, I cherish my life very much, and I don't want to lose it easily. Even without this marriage, I'll still try my best to make it out alive …" Gu Xijiu tried her best to dispel the Emperor's idea.
The Emperor's face turned gloomy, "Xijiu, are you going against the Emperor's order?" His voice became cold.
When the Emperor was enraged, who knew how many heads would fall to the ground. The hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Disobeying the Emperor's order was a capital offense, and it might even lead to the extermination of the entire family!
Gu Xietian could not hold it in any longer. "Your Majesty, please calm down. Xijiu will not disobey your order. This child is just … She's just afraid that she won't be able to come back from the Dark Forest and implicate her betrothed prince … Xijiu, His Majesty is merciful. You must not have any other thoughts. Quickly thank His Majesty for his kindness! "
Gu Xijiu frowned slightly. She was very annoyed by the system where the imperial power was greater than the sky. The words of the emperor were like gold and jade. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, the officials had to be grateful and resolute in carrying it out.
However, she also knew that with her current strength, she could not change this situation.
Indeed, she could defy the order now. The Emperor would not sentence her to death, but her family and friends would suffer.
"Xijiu, follow our plan!" Rong Jialuo's voice came into her ears.
Gu Xijiu made up her mind and bowed, "Xijiu thanks Your Majesty for your kindness! Xijiu is willing to listen to Your Majesty's orders. "
As soon as she said this, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor's facial expression softened, "Xijiu, I know you're a sensible and good girl. Then-- "He was about to say something else. The eunuch rushed in and reported, "Your Majesty, Celestial Master Zuo is here with Saint Yun Qingluo!"
Gu Xijiu's heart skipped a beat!
