Feng Tianlan bowed her head slightly and responded in a gentle voice, “Eunuch De.”

“I have come with a question from the emperor. Do you intend to marry Governor Shizi?”

Eunuch De ignored Feng Xiang completely and spoke only to Feng Tianlan. To him, Feng Xiang was scum and had no right to talk to him.

“I do not have such intentions,” she replied.

Feng Tianlan was slightly puzzled by the emperor’s interference. Feng Xiang was also taken aback by this, wondering why the emperor always protected Feng Tianlan. At the same time, there was a flash of anger on his face. He was angry that this idiot emperor was interfering with his family matters and messing up his plans. Eunuch De was pleased to see Feng Tianlan’s expressionless face and nodded. Then, he took out an edict from the palace.

He said, “Besides Feng Tianlan, all others must kneel and receive the imperial edict.”

There was another flash of hate on Feng Xiang’s face as he begrudgingly kneeled with his head tilted to one side in defiance. Eunuch De cast him a disdainful glance but didn’t comment, instead, he read the edict: “Feng Tianlan is an outstanding lady, and it has been agreed between the emperor and her late mother that she shall decide about her marriage for herself. This matter is not to be forced upon her by anybody else.”

After reading, Eunuch De placed the edict at Feng Tianlan’s feet. Then, he straightened his body and said to Feng Xiang imposingly, “Feng Head Clan, I hope you understand?”

“I understand,” Feng Xiang replied through clenched teeth.

This edict meant that there would be no marriage with the Ding Nation courthouse, nor was he allowed to arrange any other marriage for Feng Tianlan. He couldn’t understand why the emperor kept shielding Feng Tianlan.
