The Emperor nodded. The Tan Imperial Master's family was indeed a family of scholars, making them a fitting match. The Imperial Master's granddaughter marrying the Emperor's son was considered a suitable union.
"Convey My intentions to King Liang..." The Emperor, still mindful of his son who would prepare the golden elixir for him, wanted to first inquire about his son's thoughts. The Emperor squinted at Gao Demao and said, "Persuade King Liang with your own words. The Dong family has always valued their reputation. If King Liang forcibly marries, Dong Qingping may not tolerate his daughter who has tarnished the family name! Observe King Liang's reaction carefully for Me! Upon your return, report back without missing any expression!"
Gao Demao was startled, realizing the Emperor was beginning to suspect King Liang, and quickly complied.
Watching Gao Demao leave, the Emperor slowly leaned back on the dragon throne, raising a hand to stroke the dragon head on the armrest.
