Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"So, what the Seventh Princess means is that you are unwilling to marry Prince Ning?" An Delu asked at the opportune moment.

If she herself is unwilling, then this matter becomes advantageous to Dongling.

The matter between Prince Ning and Minister Liu's daughter can finally be resolved.

Tuoba Liuli continued to look in the direction of the Emperor, and nodded, saying, "I only have General Chu in my heart. I will not marry anyone but General Chu."

Chu Xiaohe also knelt before the Emperor and said, "I am also deeply in love with the Seventh Princess. I humbly request Your Majesty to grant us this marriage so that my wish may be fulfilled. I will do my utmost to repay Your Majesty's grace in the future."

The coldness in the Emperor's eyes finally dissipated somewhat.

The trouble caused by that scoundrel Prince Ning can at least be resolved.

"Since you all..."

"Father, your son... your son also feels the same way about the Seventh Princess..."

“Your Highness.” An Delu interrupted Lu Shangfeng at the right moment and said with a smile, “The Emperor of Eastern Zhou did not know about General Chu and the Seventh Princess, which is why he mistakenly paired them up. Since General Chu and the Seventh Princess are in love, this matter still needs to be explained to the Emperor of Eastern Zhou.”

Lu Shangfeng looked at Tuoba Liuli. Her gaze was unfocused, but her eyes were bright and she looked very beautiful.

This sight made Lu Shangfeng look disappointed.

But no one in the main hall paid him any attention.

The Emperor's words brought an end to the farce in the hall: "I will immediately order someone to write a letter to clarify the matter between the Seventh Princess and General Chu. However, Seventh Princess, you must also write a letter to your father in person, informing him of your true wishes. At that time, my men will deliver your letter to your father together with the letter."

Since it was the Seventh Princess's own will, Dongling should not bear any responsibility.

The Prince of Ning's folly ruined the marriage alliance, and now it's all been wiped clean.

Although this result may not be the best for the Emperor of Dongling, it is the optimal solution at present.

After Chu Xiaohe and Tuoba Liuli kowtowed to express their gratitude to the emperor, they left the main hall.

After being reprimanded a few times, Prince Ning was finally released.

But he had to give Minister Liu an explanation, which was that he married Minister Liu's daughter.

When Lu Shangfeng left the main hall, he was already furious as soon as he stepped out the door.

Consort Rou waited outside for a long time. When she saw her son come out, she was about to go over when she saw him walk quickly past her and catch up with Chu Xiaohe and Tuoba Liuli who were walking ahead.

"Chu Xiaohe! You did this on purpose!"

He strode up to the two of them and blocked their way.

Looking at Tuoba Liuli's fair and flawless face, he was filled with resentment.

Looking at Chu Xiaohe again, his eyes were filled with anger.

"You've all conspired together to make me annul the engagement, haven't you?"

"Did Your Highness take the initiative to annul the engagement?" Although Tuoba Liuli couldn't see Lu Shangfeng, she could feel his anger. She smiled and said, "Could it be that Your Highness broke into another girl's boudoir, causing a scandal that spread throughout the city, forcing Your Highness to break off the engagement?"

"Seventh Princess, I was framed! That Liu Jinlian..."

"Miss Liu will be the prince's wife in the future. It would be best if the prince praised her more. Otherwise, if she has any bad reputation, the bad things will only backfire on the prince in the future."

Chu Xiaohe looked at Lu Shangfeng with a serious expression: "Moreover, this matter is Your Highness's responsibility. Why should Your Highness further damage the reputation of the girl whose honor you have ruined?"
