355 Could She Choose Not to Accept His Compensation?! (1/2)
”You’re not young anymore.” The emperor had started the main topic, ”Xijiu, I actually wanted you to be my daughter-in-law and that’s why I’ve appointed you a spouse when you were younger.
Unfortunately, Rong Yan, that bastard did something stupid and thus I've annulled both of your marriage contracts to prevent anything from affecting your future. But I do feel sorry for this, so, to compensate you, I’d have to appoint a good spouse for you so that you can be my daughter-in-law again, Rong Chu…”
How expected! Could she choose not to accept his compensation?!
She just managed to set a mid-level scum away and the emperor wanted to give her a high-level scum?
”Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness but I’m afraid that I’m unworthy to receive your blessing. After all, I’ve to enter the Dark Forest tomorrow and may not able to return. Therefore, if I’m engaged today, I’m afraid of bringing any trouble to the precious prince and that would be bad…” Gu Xijiu started to reject indirectly.
”Xijiu, it’s only because you’re entering the Dark Forest, that I urgently wanted to have you engaged. Firstly, good news would bring good luck; secondly, it could increase your confidence and the probability of you coming out safely. After all, a person with baggage would maximize one's own potential for safety…” The emperor started nagging.
Gu Xijiu, ”…”
Was she stuck in an ancient period of time? The emperor unbelievably knew about her potential.
In fact, the dynasty was rather strange as it was not recorded in modern history books at all, yet the people of this generation knew the phrases of the ancient people. It seemed that they knew all about the ancient people before the arrival of the Tang Dynasty.
But after the Tang Dynasty, the history seemed to have been twisted and this dynasty which appeared to be a mere imagination, one that could not be deduced from modern knowledge, had emerged.
”Your Majesty, I do appreciate my life and I won’t lose it easily, despite not being engaged. I’ll try to come out with all my might…” Gu Xijiu spared no effort to stop the emperor from proceeding with his intentions.
The emperor became slightly gloomy, ”Xijiu, are you trying to disobey my decree?” His voice became indifferent.
