It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

“They’re right.”

She smiled, tears sparkling in her eyes, and played with each piece as if it were a treasure.

Seeing his sister's smile, Emperor Xuan was overjoyed, and an innocent smile bloomed on his face. The laughter was clear and hearty, without any imperial majesty or heaviness.

In front of Su Wanyu, he was just a simple and happy boy.

"It's decided. I'll bring you more in the days to come."

His smile is like the warm spring sun, warming people's hearts.

Just as Su Wanyu was about to pack her bag, she accidentally found a token and wondered, "What is this..."

Sensing that his sister had discovered his little thought, Emperor Xuan generously took out the token and said, "This is a token that allows you to enter and leave the palace freely. There are only two of them, and the other one is with my brother."

"Take it, and you can enter and leave the palace as you please, and no one will dare to stop you."

Su Wanyu took the heavy token, her hands trembling slightly: "Thank you... Your Majesty..."

Emperor Xuan frowned slightly, and said in a sincere and kind tone: "Sister, although we were born in the royal family, we are blood relatives. There is no need to stick to red tape. We can just get along like siblings from ordinary families."

"Sister, we are not a king and his subjects, but a family. This is a fact that will never change."

Su Wanyu felt as if her heart was struck hard. Over the years in the Kingdom of Da Qi, he was probably the only emperor who could have such deep affection for his blood relatives.

Looking back in the past, in order to fight for the cold throne, it was common for brothers to fight against each other, and for fathers and sons to turn against each other. Even sisters could become victims of power transactions.

The story of the eldest princess was such a tragedy. She was given to the Zhao family as a gift by her own father, causing a noble princess to compete for favor with countless concubines and eventually became a laughing stock of the world.

Fortunately, her vicious father still had some mercy on the sister who had helped him seize the throne. He eliminated the Zhao family, built a princess's mansion for her, and made her son a king of a different surname.

However, all this cannot change the fate that family affection is ultimately defeated by the temptation of interests.

Her eyes were slightly red and she lowered her eyelids gently, not wanting her brother beside her to see the tears that were about to fall. The package tightly held in her hands seemed to have become a symbol of all her reliance and persistence.

In the future, she vowed to protect her younger brother no matter what and let him sit firmly on the supreme throne.

Sensing his sister's trance, Emperor Xuan realized that his emotions were too intense, and quickly restrained his gentle expression, turned his gaze to Pei Sina beside him, and deliberately changed the subject: "Sister, you and your cousin from the Luo family have always had a deep relationship, right?"

Su Wanyu nodded gently: "We grew up together, so there's no need to explain the friendship."

She originally thought that her brother was asking about the deep love between siblings, but she never expected that his next words would be: "Don't worry, sister. When you return to the palace, I will let my cousin from the Luo family live with you in the palace and confer him the title of Prince Consort."

"We both inherit the royal bloodline. As an emperor, I naturally have three thousand beauties in my harem. And you, who are both talented and beautiful, why can't you be surrounded by many heroes and men?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Sina, who was standing nearby, instantly had her cheeks dyed red like the sunset. The delicate color bloomed on her pretty face like the most moving flowers in spring.

Su Wanyu gently pressed her forehead, and a little sweat slid down her fair skin.

She smiled bitterly in her heart. Not to mention that Pei Sina was originally a woman, even if she was a man of great stature, it would be impossible for her to really take several talented men into her mansion without incurring criticism.

In the court, those experienced and prudent old ministers would chatter endlessly and discuss anything just by catching wind of something.

Emperor Xuan's eyes were firm and he swore: "You don't have to worry. I promise there won't be any rumors. If any whisper reaches my ears, I will use one person's head to warn the world. If anyone commits the same offense again, I will execute him immediately until no one dares to discuss this matter again."

Faced with such a strong promise, Pei Sina simply smiled indifferently and regarded it as a joke from the emperor.

However, Su Wanyu knew very well that to this almighty emperor, every word was serious.

"This matter concerns the future, so let's put it aside for now. I am still the second young master's wife of the Zheng family."

Su Wanyu changed the topic in a clever tone. She knew in her heart that the most important thing at the moment was how to cancel the engagement with Zheng Chengyan in a decent manner.

Emperor Xuan changed the subject and went straight to the heart of the matter: "Has the Zheng family ever treated you well?"

There was a sense of authority in his tone that could not be ignored.

"What is good and evil? It's just that the friendship between me and Zheng Chengyan has long disappeared."

Su Wanyu did not elaborate on the Zheng family's affairs, fearing that her words would be too harsh and the emperor would not be able to bear it, thus ruining every move she had carefully planned. She was even more afraid of implicating innocent people for no reason.

Emperor Xuan made a decision: "If the love is gone, then divorce. Once you enter the palace, I will make the imperial decree granting marriage become a piece of waste paper."

At this time, Pei Sina stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, divorce does not seem appropriate."

Hearing this, Emperor Xuan looked sideways, with a hint of coldness in his voice: "What's wrong with that?"

Pei Sina responded, "Although the princess can use this to get rid of the Zheng family, she can't escape the criticism of the world. She might be accused of being unfaithful, which will bring her unwarranted disaster."

"Then do you have a solution that can achieve the best of both worlds?"

Emperor Xuan was in hot pursuit.

Pei Sina said calmly: "Why not make it public and expose the fault of the second son of the Zheng family? The princess can divorce him openly and let everyone in the world know that the fault today lies with the Zheng family and Zheng Chengyan, not the princess."

"If anyone else makes irresponsible comments, Your Majesty will personally punish them, and others will not dare to say anything. After all, tarnishing the princess's reputation is a serious crime."

Hearing this, approval flashed in Emperor Xuan's eyes. He had originally considered directly eradicating the Zheng family, but now Pei Sina's proposal made him feel more interesting.

For a man, being publicly divorced by his wife may be more unbearable than death.

He then asked, "But in our country, there is no law that allows women to divorce their husbands on their own initiative."

Pei Sina was confident: "The law can be modified. In ancient times, there were the 'Seven Reasons for Divorce' and men also had the 'Three Reasons Not to Divorce'. In the past, there was the 'Letter to the Wife'. Why not create a 'Letter to the Husband' and create a new legal basis for the princess to divorce her husband."

"This move can not only strengthen the imperial power and demonstrate the royal majesty, but also allow the princess to leave the Zheng family smoothly. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The idea of ​​sending a letter to her husband had been discussed privately by Su Wanyu and Pei Sina earlier. She kept it in mind and happened to bring it up during the conversation with the emperor today.

Emperor Xuan raised his eyebrows, and a cold and cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This plan is great. In my opinion, let's do it this way!"

Under this royal authority, if his sister wants to divorce her husband, what's wrong with that?
