At the same time, Shen Xin's heart was very puzzled. A few days ago Emperor Wen Hui wanted to marry Shen Miao to the Crown Prince. Even though he had ulterior motives, but in such a short period of time, he wanted to marry Shen Miao to the Prince of the Great Liang?
After the court, Emperor Wen Hui called out to Shen Xin and did not let him leave first. Instead he brought Shen Xin to the Imperial Study and had a long talk with him.
This time it was the truth behind the bestowal of marriage to Shen Miao.
Thus Shen Xin knew that it was Prince Rui's intention to marry Shen Miao to Prince Rui, and Prince Rui used the Ming Qi's border city to threaten Emperor Wen Hui to make this decision.
It was said to be the Ming Qi's border city but the meaning behind it was the entire land of Ming Qi. Emperor Wen Hui was helpless and had no choice but to agree to this request. At the end, Emperor Wen Hui said to Shen Xin, "Zhen is the master of Ming Qi and cannot watch helplessly and ignore the lives of the common people. So General Shen, this time will plead Young Lady Shen to be wronged and exchange her life for the safety of the common people. If Young Lady Shen knew about it, she would understand Zhen's decision."
A subject should listen to the orders of a monarch. Furthermore, the monarch in front of him was explaining the reason and apologizing so sincerely. If it was in the past, Shen Xin would definitely understand and even feel a little grateful.
But when Emperor Wen Hui said to her, 'Using one person to exchange for the safety of the common people of the world', Shen Xin's heart felt a trace of coldness. He even felt that the king in front of him, whom he had been loyal to for a lifetime, was actually a little hypocritical.
The people of the world, Shen Xin's daughter was also one of the people of the world! Why should his daughter be the one to be sacrificed? In this lifetime, he had spent most of his life in military campaigns and sacrificed most of his life for Ming Qi. He could even sacrifice his life at any time to protect the common people under the heavens. But if he could not even protect his own daughter, what kind of father was he? He was sacrificed, and now it was his daughter's turn to be sacrificed?
Shen Xin did not even hear what Emperor Wen Hui said after that. Most likely he was talking about what Emperor Wen Hui would gift to Shen Miao when she got married, so that she would be more glorious. But in Shen Xin's ears, he felt that it was extremely ironic.
No matter how selfless a person was, his heart would still be biased towards his loved ones. Especially Shen Xin, he did not bring his daughter along with him for the past few decades, causing Shen Miao to be estranged from both husband and wife. That was what he deserved. Afterwards it was not easy for the Heavens to pity them and Shen Miao got closer to them but Shen Miao's temperament had changed a lot, as if she had grown up overnight. Shen Xin saw this and felt pain in his heart.
Shen Miao was a little flower that was carefully tended to in the residence, but now this flower had unknowingly grown into a strong tree. To grow so fast, she had lost a lot of things. He was already feeling guilty towards Shen Miao and now with this Imperial edict, Shen Xin really did not have the face to face Shen Miao.
When Shen Xin finished his long speech, everyone in the room was silent and Shen Qiu did not speak anymore.
Emperor Wen Hui had already said it to this point, what else could he do? But was he going to watch Shen Miao get married? It seemed to be too cruel to Shen Miao.
Shen Qiu did not dare to think about living with a man whom she had never seen in person, who she did not know what his temperament was like, and whom she could not say that she liked.
Shen Miao said, "So it is like this." Her expression was calm, as if she was not affected in the slightest. Everyone then discovered that from knowing about the Imperial edict till now, Shen Miao did not reveal a trace of surprise.
Luo Xue Yan was afraid that she would suffocate and said, "Jiao Jiao, you do not need to keep it in your heart. The matter has not been decided …"
"Mother need not coax me. The Imperial edict is already given and one cannot defy it." Shen Miao smiled, "Moreover it is not a bad thing to marry to Prince Rui. As a Wangfei, one would not have to worry about food and clothing. Looking at Prince Rui's demeanour at the beginning, even though one could not see his face, one would think that he was a good looking person."
