Chapter 183: Tactfully Declining the Alliance Marriage (1/2)

“Hahaha, De Quan, you know me well!” When the Emperor heard De Quan’s reply, he instantly laughed heartily.

When De Quan received the praise, he knew that his answer was correct. Now was the perfect time for him to make a suggestion to His Majesty.

“Your Majesty, the farewell feast for the Phoenix King Valley’s members is coming up. This old servant thinks that the elder will definitely take the chance to bring up the alliance by marriage. If Your Majesty doesn’t want to go through with it, it is better to come up with an excuse beforehand. The people of the Phoenix King Valley are cunning and crafty. The excuse has to be seamless.”

The old emperor muttered to himself for a moment and he spoke up. “You are right. This Emperor has to make the proper arrangements.”

The old emperor was hesitant about the alliance marriage between Pei Wuchen and Feng Wan’er not solely because of her behavior. It was also because he felt that Luo Chu wasn’t as useless as he had imagined.

The partners of the princes had to match their status. While the marriage was an important matter, it was also a bargaining chip used to pave one’s future path. The Emperor had always doted on his third son and he used to look down on Luo Chu as Pei Wuchen was the last disciple of the Phoenix King Valley Master. In terms of cultivation, she was a wastrel. She couldn’t compare to the son he was most satisfied with. Moreover, the Phoenix King Valley promised him plenty of benefits. Feng Wan’er and Pei Wuchen were also mutually in love.

However, everything seemed to be different now. Luo Chu was too mysterious. Her bizarre medical skills neutralized a poison that stumped many divine physicians. She even managed to treat the Empress Dowager’s old illness.

She was even able to move his second son. Everyone knew that the Second Prince was a 1000-year sago palm that would never bloom. He got rid of all the young ladies who approached him in the past but Luo Chu managed to break the barrier around his heart. He even risked his life to save her at the Falling Cloud Mountain Range.

As for the incident at the Falling Cloud Mountain Range… The old emperor heard the rumor where the Green Flame Eagle abandoned its children to save Luo Chu.

She was really mysterious.

As for whether Luo Chu wanted to get married or not, the old emperor didn’t care. In his opinion, it was heavenly grace for an orphan like her to marry into the imperial clan. Everyone else would fight for the position and there was no reason for them to refuse the opportunity.

As the old emperor made his plans, the day of the farewell feast arrived.
