Chapter 1258: Chapter 921: The Marriage Grant Deal

Just as Gu Changsheng was shaking his head, reluctant to believe such facts, a sudden commotion was heard outside the door.

“Miss Luoh, without the master’s call, no one is allowed to enter. Please don’t make it difficult for me!”

“Move aside! I have urgent business with His Majesty the Southern Emperor!”

“Miss Luoh…”

“Move aside!”

Obviously, the conflict outside was not limited to verbal disputes and had escalated to physical pushing and shoving, for the secret door had opened once more without Gu Changsheng’s permission!

A petite woman, dressed in the robes of a noble lady, pushed against the Undercover Pawn blocking her, striving to squeeze in from outside the door.

“Master…” The Undercover Pawn turned around facing Gu Changsheng’s gaze, with a trace of self-blame crossing his face.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel quite troubled.

Ugh, this Miss Luoh, how did she suddenly become so headstrong?

She looks like a standard noblewoman!

Truly, appearances can be deceiving, and you never know what kind of heart lies beneath that exterior!

“Fine, let her come in!” He waved his hand with a hint of resignation, signaling the Undercover Pawn to leave.

The Undercover Pawn saw this, and was instantly relieved, bowing respectfully as he withdrew.

“This humble servant, Luoh Yurou, pays respects to His Majesty the Southern Emperor, may His Majesty live as long as the heavens, and to the Son-in-law, with wishes of longevity through the ages!” Unhindered by the Undercover Pawn, Luoh Yurou decisively walked forward, lifted her skirt, and knelt beside Yan Qingcheng!

Gu Changsheng saw this, and his brow twitched uncontrollably.

Alright!

For those unaware, seeing this pair kneeling in front of him, they might mistake them for desperate lovers begging him to fulfill their wishes!

But in reality?

This should be a union of male and female, new books cater, straightforwardly, to both men and women indeed!

Though Yan Qingcheng doesn’t admit his feelings for Wang Buer, Gu Changsheng is no fool. Any man who professes willingness to live a solitary life accompanying Wang Buer—if he were straight, now that would be a haunting story!

“Your Majesty, this humble servant has come with an urgent request, I beg Your Majesty’s favor!” Luoh Yurou, direct and unfaltering, knelt with her back straight, knocking her head once against the ground, then boldly spoke, “I beseech Your Majesty to grant me betrothal to Brother Qingcheng. Your Majesty, Brother Qingcheng’s affections for Wang Buer are hard to articulate, meanwhile, I am akin to him! Your Majesty, I hail from a renowned noble family in Liaodong myself, if seeking fulfillment, there’s only the path of deceiving the heavens and crossing the seas. If Your Majesty assists me in being united with Jiji, I am willing to offer intelligence regarding the Far North Godfall Site!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression froze, disbelief flashing in his eyes!

The Divine Demise Land!

Again with the Divine Demise Land!

Exchanging a glance with the evildoer at his side, seeing the evildoer’s serious expression, Gu Changsheng’s demeanor grew solemn, scrutinizing Luoh Yurou more intensely.

This woman appears no different than ordinary noble ladies, yet her eyes reveal a stubbornness and rebellion that cannot be ignored!

“How do you know of the Far North Godfall Site? Moreover, how do you know I would be interested in it?” Narrowing his Phoenix Eyes slightly, Gu Changsheng sat upright, his gaze piercing as he looked at the kneeling Luoh Yurou.

“Your Majesty, could you really believe the Northern Mongolian turmoil is merely internal strife?” Upon hearing, Luoh Yurou raised her head and replied calmly, “Your Majesty and the Son-in-law are extraordinary persons, if unable to find the crux within this, how could it be possible?”

“Your Majesty governs the Southern Country, with the Witch Gu Army descending upon the Nine-layer, subduing Southern Chen, Liaodong pledging allegiance, and joined in matrimony with the Son-in-law, inseparable from Great Zhou! In such circumstances, most territories are under Your Majesty’s command. Amidst such grandeur, petty Northern Mongolian dares arise in sibling feud, owing much to external forces!” As Luoh Yurou spoke, she lifted her head, steadfastly gazing at Gu Changsheng, once again knocking her head, “Your Majesty, please grant me betrothal to Brother Qingcheng, in exchange, I offer revelation of secrets regarding the Far North Godfall Site that I possess!”

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, upon hearing, were immensely shaken!

Even Yan Qingcheng was struck with disbelief, turning towards the kneeling Luoh Yurou beside him, his brow furrowed, hastily warning, “Rourou sister! What nonsense are you uttering!”

“Brother Qingcheng, I know perfectly well what I’m saying! I am one hundred percent certain, what I speak holds no false word! All I ask is to remain with Jiji, unfettered by family or public censure, beyond that, nothing else matters to me!” Upon hearing, Luoh Yurou’s stubbornness became all the more apparent.

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, side by side, sat behind the dining table, their expressions enigmatic as they scrutinized the kneeling Luoh Yurou.

Gu Changsheng was truly frightened by Luoh Yurou’s words!

Because Luoh Yurou’s analysis was identical to the possibility she and Zhou Mu had previously analyzed!

Moreover, in Luoh Yurou’s eyes, Gu Changsheng saw no falsehood!

So, what Luoh Yurou said was true!

This realization affirmed all of Gu Changsheng’s judgments on her journey!

“Are you negotiating terms with me?” Gu Changsheng looked coldly at Luoh Yurou and said in a deep voice.

She didn’t like this feeling!

If Luoh Yurou had purely told her about the news of the Divine Demise Land, she would have been grateful and reciprocated equally, but this bargaining, equivalent to transactional tactics, Gu Changsheng disliked greatly!

It felt like being led by the nose!

“Your Majesty, it’s not the court lady wants to bargain with Your Majesty! Despite my family’s opposition, I resolutely came to Licheng City, intending to go to Linyuan City to find the Northern Mongolian Princess Borjigin Nian and tell her what I know! But here, I met you, so I pleaded with Brother Qingcheng and insisted on coming along!” Hearing this, Luoh Yurou immediately bowed her head again, and as she raised her head, tears glistened in her eyes, yet her face was full of determination and immense sorrow. “Your Majesty, the court lady is unbecoming, my desires differ from common folk, what I seek is merely companionship! The court lady knows Brother Qingcheng and Wang Buer since childhood and likewise understands the matters between them, Your Majesty, fulfilling the court lady is also fulfilling Brother Qingcheng and Wang Buer! If we were accepted by the world, why would the court lady resort to this? Negotiating terms with Your Majesty, the court lady knows she’s unfit, and dares not! Yet the court lady has no other path! I beg, Your Majesty, to grant it!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, infected by Luoh Yurou’s lament, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Such a love is doomed to go against reason, not accepted nor blessed by the world!

Yan Qingcheng has the Yan Family behind him, Luoh Yurou has the Luoh Family!

To be unfree in life, freedom to live unrestrained! Who can truly have what they desire?

“Alright! I grant you both! Undercover Pawn, take my order, immediately send a message to Empress Xiao, on my behalf draft a marriage decree, seal your union, outsiders must not interfere, nor question it!” Gu Changsheng thought, Luoh Yurou’s plea could indeed be a scheme to hoodwink everyone, regardless of whether Wang Buer and Yan Qingcheng could truly stay together till the end, yet they would no longer be burdened by their families regarding marriage, at least escaping family control and gaining freedom!

“The court lady thanks Your Majesty!” Luoh Yurou upon hearing, immediately joyfully kowtowed to the ground.

“I thank Your Majesty!” Yan Qingcheng thought for a moment, then followed suit, kneeling solemnly.

“Your Majesty, please don’t transfer Wang Buer from Licheng City, alright? The Yan Family has been lobbying repeatedly, merely to separate Brother Qingcheng from Buer’s entanglement, if not for Buer insisting, he would not have stayed in Licheng City for five years without any political achievements! Your Majesty, Brother Qingcheng…”

“Shut up!” Before Luoh Yurou could finish, Yan Qingcheng turned, harshly interrupting.

Though he was here to ask Gu Changsheng not to transfer Wang Buer from Licheng, he never openly confessed his feelings, though he didn’t deny them either…

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, exchanged a glance with her evildoer companion, and a sense of realization crossed their minds.

Reflecting on this, Luoh Yurou truly seems to be Yan Qingcheng’s confidant!

Look at that, just a remark inadvertently revealed Yan Qingcheng’s heart!

Licheng City is a bitterly cold borderland, if not for insisting on being together, they would have had ample opportunity to part ways!

One clings bitterly, the other remains silent, these two…

Alas!

Gu Changsheng sighed, after all, it’s their own business, her role as an outsider is limited in influence!

Even as the Southern Emperor, she couldn’t dictate personal feelings, could she?

Moreover, such distorted emotions?

How tangled this is!

Gu Changsheng unknowingly rubbed her temples, she really didn’t know if binding two equally twisted souls together was right or wrong.

“Wang Buer, being a son of Liaodong’s meritorious service, deserves the Court’s recognition. Whatever his choice may be, I won’t interfere! Moreover, considering my position, I will naturally favor him!” Gu Changsheng thought, but still spoke, “I grant you the marriage decree not just for your wish fulfillment, removing family interference from your marriages, but beyond that, wherever your hearts ultimately lead, I can’t help! I only hope you don’t hurt Wang Buer.”

That handsome yet defeated Wang Buer, with a broken attitude, wore a look of utter despair, though his words were scathing, it was somehow inexplicably heartbreaking!

“The court lady seeks only companionship with Jiji, won’t interfere between Brother Qingcheng and Buer, will support them to fulfill their wishes!” Luoh Yurou said decisively upon hearing this, her face beaming with joy, yet quickly it turned serious as she faced Gu Changsheng, speaking solemnly…
