Chapter 87: What Now?

The palace hall turned silent like the deep waters.

Su Changqing looked down and wisely chose to remain silent.

Emperor Zhou frowned. The corners of his eyes twitched, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Yan Luoying's words were beyond their expectations.

This was especially so for Emperor Zhou. He didn't understand why Yan Luoying, who hated Su Wen and didn't want to get married, had changed in just a few days.

Was she interested in the Su family's power?

Or did Su Changqing do something here?

However, he would never have thought that this was how things were sometimes. For matters of the heart, a man and a woman could change their relationship through one sentence of one event.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Zhou stared at Yan Luoying and said slowly, "What if I say that I have decided to annul this marriage?"

Yan Luoying knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the ground. She said, "Although Yan Luoying is not from a scholarly family, she knows shame. Her heart now already belongs to Su Wen, and she will not tolerate anyone else. If Your Majesty wants to change my engagement partner, I would rather die!"

She raised her head and looked at Emperor Zhou with determination.

Anyone could tell she wasn't just speaking empty words.

"You alright, step down. This marriage will continue like this for now. If you want to change your marriage you can come and find me anytime!" Emperor Zhou was naturally unwilling to force Yan Luoying to die.

That was all he could say.

Yan Luoying immediately left.

After she left, Emperor Zhou yelled at Su Changqing, "Tell me! Did you do something to make Yan Luoying change her mind?"

Su Changqing immediately replied in a wronged tone, "I didn't, I really didn't do anything this time!"

The old eunuch also opened his mouth to persuade, "Your Majesty, according to this old servant, Yan Luoying didn't seem to be faking it just now. It seems like she really is in love with Young Master Su!"

With a third party persuading him. Emperor Zhou finally calmed down a little. He recalled Yan Luoying's expression and grudgingly agreed with the old eunuch.

But he was still very angry! This feeling of things being out of his control was not a nice feeling!

Yan Luoying was too stubborn!

But he knew he needed someone like that.

He looked at Su Changqing from the corner of his eyes and said angrily, "You old brat, you allowed Su Wen to fool around with women too much. How many days has it only been? He's certainly not idling around. On one hand he's going after Miss Yiyi, and on the other he managed to seduce Yan Luoying to the point that she is hell-bent on having him. His ability to fool around with women is impressive!"

Su Changqing knew that he was unhappy and needed an outlet to vent his anger. He did not defend himself and immediately knelt on the ground, shouting, "This subject is guilty! This subject has failed to teach my son properly and caused trouble for Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this first. Young people want something fresh every day. Perhaps after seeing so many young heroes in the capital, she will eventually change her mind!"

Su Changqing stole a glance at him and said in a low voice, "Then Your Majesty about Her Highness Seventh Princess what should we do?"

Emperor Zhou's eyes were lifeless as he muttered, "That's right, there's also my daughter Seventh Princess What should I do how would I know what to do? Get lost, get lost quickly! I'll order you to go back and give Su Wen ten slaps! Let him know how powerful he is!"

The barest hint of amusement could be seen in Su Changqing's eyes as he bowed. "Yes! I will go back and discipline my dog son now!"

As Su Changqing retreated, Emperor Zhou closed his eyes.

Yan Luoying suddenly changing her mind was as good as disrupting his entire plan.

"What do you think we should do?" Emperor Zhou asked the old eunuch.

The old eunuch wryly smiled. Who knew what to do about this matter?

Yan Luoying was determined to die if forced to marry someone else, so they definitely could not force their way through with the current plan. However, the Seventh Princess was, after all, a member of the royal family. Under the control of the emperor these few days, she was very close to Su Wen. Seeing that they had already developed feelings for each other, although the royal family was heartless, they were still humans after all. It was not like they did not possess any familial ties.

"This old slave does not know"

The eunuch chose to keep his mouth shut. After all, it didn't matter how he dealt with the situation. Someone would end up being hurt.

Emperor Zhou opened his eyes and asked, "Is Wanrou in the palace today?"

"She
