355 Could She Choose Not to Accept His Compensation?! (2/2)

When the emperor got angry, an unknown amount of people would be decapitated. Therefore, the hall became so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.

Disobeying an imperial decree would not only be deemed a capital crime, but it may cause the whole family to be exterminated completely too!

Gu Xietian could not help to reply, ”Your Majesty, please do not be angry, Xijiu will not disobey your decree. This kid was just…just afraid that she would be troubling the prince if she was engaged with him, should she not be able to come out from the Dark Forest…Xijiu, His Majesty is merciful, you mustn’t harbor second thoughts anymore. Quickly show your appreciation!”

Gu Xijiu frowned as she was annoyed by the system where the emperor had the utmost power and whatever the emperor said was authoritative - one that all officials had to accept and execute regardless…

However, she knew that with her current ability, she could not change the circumstances.

Though she could disobey the decree and still survive, her family and friends would be troubled.

”Xijiu, let’s proceed according to our plan!” Rong Jialuo’s voice shot straight into her ears.

With determination, Gu Xijiu bowed, ”Your Majesty, Xijiu gives thanks for your kindness! Xijiu is willing to listen to you.”

Soon after she said it, almost everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The emperor also became gentler, ”Xijiu, I knew you were a good girl, then…” When he was about to say something else, a eunuch rushed in, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, Celestial Master is here, along with saint Yun Qingluo!”

Gu Xijiu’s heart missed a beat!

Meanwhile, the emperor had already stood up and said, ”Quick, invite them in! My officials, come with me to welcome them!”
