After the court session ended, Emperor Wen Hui stopped Shen Xin. He brought Shen Xin to the imperial study and chatted with him for a while.

This time, he told Shen Xin the truth behind this marriage arrangement.

Therefore, Shen Xin knew that Prince Rui was the one who wanted to marry Shen Miao. Prince Rui used Ming Qi to threaten Emperor Wen Hui into making this decision.

!!

Emperor Wen Hui was helpless and had no choice but to agree to this request. In the end, Emperor Wen Hui said to Shen Xin, “I’m Ming Qi’s emperor. I can’t watch my people die because of my poor decision, so General Shen, please let Miss Shen exchange her for the safety of the people. I believe Miss Shen will understand my decision too.”

Officials were supposed to obey the emperor. If it were in the past, Shen Xin would definitely understand Emperor Wen Hui.

However, when Emperor Wen Hui asked him to let her daughter to exchange her life for the safety of the people, Shen Xin felt a chill run down his spine. He even felt that the emperor he had been loyal to his entire life was a hypocrite.

Among the people of the world, Shen Miao was also one of them! Why should she be the sacrifice? In his life, he had fought in the war and sacrificed most of his life for Ming Qi. He would not hesitate to die at any time to protect the people. However, if he could not even protect his daughter, what kind of father was he? After sacrificing him, was it his daughter’s turn to be sacrificed now?

Shen Xin zoned out and did not hear what Emperor Wen Hui said after that. He was probably talking about what he would give Shen Miao as a reward when she got married to Prince Rui. However, in Shen Xin’s ears, he felt that it was extremely ironic.

No matter how selfless a person was, they would still prioritize their family, especially Shen Xin. In the past few decades, he did not bring his daughter with him, which made Shen Miao distant from him and his wife. Later, the heavens took pity on them and made Shen Miao close to them again. However, Shen Miao’s personality had changed a lot, as if she had suddenly grown up overnight. Shen Xin’s heart ached when he saw this.

Shen Miao was protected like a flower in the Shen family. Now, this flower had unknowingly grown into a strong tree. Shen Xin already felt guilty towards Shen Miao. Now that the imperial edict was issued, Shen Xin was really too ashamed to face Shen Miao.

After Shen Xin finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent, and Shen Qiu stopped talking.

Emperor Wen Hui had made it so clear. What else could they do? Were they going to watch Shen Miao get married? It seemed too cruel to Shen Miao.

Shen Qiu did not dare to imagine his sister living with a man who she barely knew and going to a country she had never been to.

Shen Miao said, “I see.” Her expression was calm, as if she was not affected at all. Only then did everyone realize that after hearing the content of the imperial edict, Shen Miao did not look surprised at all.

Luo Xueyan was afraid that Shen Miao would suffer a shock, so she said, “Jiaojiao, you don’t have to worry. It’s not decided yet…”

“Mother, you don’t have to comfort me. The imperial edict has already been issued. You can’t go against the imperial edict, right?” Shen Miao smiled. “Besides, it’s not a bad thing to marry Prince Rui. As a princess consort, I don’t have to worry about money. Although Prince Rui’s face can’t be seen, it’s not hard to tell that he’s a good-looking person.”
