Chapter 11

"What? What did you say?"

Gu Yuzhi replied irritably, "Nothing! You idiot!"

"Why are you scolding me again?"

Then we laughed and joked together.

But some words were truly unspeakable.

Our omniscient emperor, it's as if he heard the words I casually uttered.

"What?! Marriage alliance!?"

After receiving the royal decree of the marriage alliance.

Our entire family knelt with pale faces.

Elder cousin raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"What should we do now?"

My Princess crawled up from the ground and clamored to enter the palace.

"Dear, don't be impulsive! Tian'er and I will go to the palace and ask, you rest at home."

Father comforted Mother and then went to the palace with my brother.

But I waited until it was dark, and still, no good news came.

I carried the bundle.

Hesitating whether to leave and run away.

But then feeling timid, fearing to implicate my family.

"Are you scared?"

I didn't even look at Gu Yuzhi who suddenly appeared.

Sadly nodded my head.
