Lan Yunyan followed the palace maid's instructions and walked step by step towards the door of the magnificent hall.

Then, she mustered her courage and gently placed her hands on the door. The magnificent door, carved with dragons and phoenixes, slowly opened with her gentle push, making a deep and solemn sound.

The moment she stepped through the threshold, the sight before her took her breath away—a magnificent hall unfolded before her, its glazed tiles gleaming, its beams and pillars entwined with intricate patterns, every stroke revealing the extraordinary grandeur of the imperial family. Sunlight filtered through the carved window lattices, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to this magnificent space.

??Her gaze passed through the boundless splendor and finally fell on the man in the center of the hall, dressed in a dragon robe and with an imposing bearing—Chu Xiongfeng, the current emperor.

He wore a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with intricate dragon and phoenix patterns, a crown on his head, and a face that was majestic and profound. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"Miss Lan Wu, I see you've reached the right age for marriage. How about I grant you a marriage?" Emperor Chu Xiongfeng's voice echoed through the hall, carrying an unquestionable majesty. However, his words seemed to conceal a subtle, yet profound meaning.

"Your Majesty, I don't want anyone else to interfere in my marriage. What I want is to be with one person for the rest of my life. If you cannot meet my request, I will never marry." Lan Yunyan's words echoed in the hall. Her voice was soft but firm.

The emperor frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied with Lan Yunyan's attitude.

He said in a deep voice: "Miss Lan Wu, you have to marry today, whether you want to or not!!"

Hearing this, Lan Yunyan raised her head, looked directly at the emperor, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I only want to be with you for the rest of my life!"

The emperor's face darkened. He hadn't expected Lan Yunyan to refuse so resolutely. He said coldly, "Miss Lan Wu, you must think it over carefully."

"I never thought the emperor would be so arrogant and bully others!"

Lan Yunyan couldn't help but feel surprised when she heard that magnetic voice. She turned her head sharply and looked in the direction of the voice, only to find that the person coming was Ling Xiuhan.

"Ling Xiu Han? Why are you here?" Lan Yunyan's words were filled with a hint of disbelief and shock.

Ling Xiuhan smiled slightly, a gentle light flashing in his eyes: "Yan'er, I just heard the news, so I rushed here."

The emperor was bewildered at this moment. He looked at Ling Xiuhan suspiciously, his heart filled with questions: "Grandmaster, do you know each other?"

Ling Xiuhan frowned slightly and said calmly, "As for Lan Yunyan's marriage, please don't bother with me."

The emperor was very surprised after hearing this. He asked in confusion, "Oh? Why?"

Ling Xiu Han took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with affection, and solemnly announced: "Because she is my wife, I will marry her!" This sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, shocking everyone present.

The emperor widened his eyes and looked at Ling Xiu Han in disbelief, as if he couldn't accept this sudden news.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I understand. In that case, you can handle it." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but at the same time he also expressed respect for Ling Xiu Han's persistence.

Ling Xiuhan nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Then, Ling Xiuhan took Lan Yunyan's hand and led her out of the hall.

Lan Yunyan looked at Ling Xiuhan gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Ling Xiuhan, you've helped me again."

"I didn't expect you to be the Imperial Master."

Ling Xiuhan looked back at Lan Yunyan tenderly, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "You are my destined imperial concubine. We will be together in the end."

Yingyi in the dark looked at this scene and opened his mouth in surprise so wide that an egg could fit in it.

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "It's over, it's over. Is this still our Lord? Why does he let me endure this alone? No, no, I have to tell Ying Er, Ying San and the others when I get back."

Ling Xiuhan heard Ying Yi's muttering, but he didn't stop. He just glanced at her, his eyes fixed on her with a cold gaze. The majesty and indifference in his eyes made Ying Yi's heart skip a beat.

Ying Yi quickly suppressed his surprise and murmurs. He understood that no matter what decision the master made, as a shadow guard, he should obey and support it unconditionally.

He quickly adjusted his mindset and followed closely in the footsteps of Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan.

After leaving the palace, Lan Yunyan stopped and looked at Ling Xiuhan with a complicated expression. Her tone was filled with determination, "Ling Xiuhan, I will never love anyone again in my life. If you want a concubine, you should look for someone else."

When Ling Xiuhan heard this, a trace of pain and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He held Lan Yunyan's hand tightly and said, "Yan'er, you are my destined imperial concubine. I will never give up on someone I love."

Lan Yunyan looked at Ling Xiuhan with a complex emotion in her heart.

She sighed softly, her eyes flashing with helplessness and confusion: "Ling Xiuhan, you are very good, but I really don't know what to do."

Ling Xiuhan looked at Lan Yunyan's confused eyes, and a wave of heartache welled up in his heart. He knew that Lan Yunyan needed time to heal the trauma in her heart, and he was willing to wait, willing to impress her with his actual actions.

He gently held Lan Yunyan's hand and said softly, "Yan'er, I am willing to wait. Wait for the day when you are willing to accept love again. No matter how long it takes, I will always wait."

Lan Yunyan looked at Ling Xiuhan's gentle yet determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
