After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 476 Decision
The twelfth prince seemed unconcerned: "If they run out, Lin Yi and the others can just go and buy some more later."

Jinse nodded, having no objection to the arrangement.

It wasn't that she wanted to eat it again; after all, the twelfth prince still had three days' worth of medicine left to drink.

Fortunately, the three days passed quickly, with the twelfth prince unusually cooperative and willingly taking each dose of medicine.

Jinse was always a little worried, but at least the twelfth prince did behave himself when taking his medicine, just as he had promised.

Three days later, Jinse invited the imperial physician to give the twelfth prince a follow-up examination, and the result was very good.

The imperial physician said that the twelfth prince only needs to be careful not to catch a cold again, and he doesn't need to drink much medicine anymore.

As soon as the twelfth prince recovered, Jinse felt as if she had been liberated.

She looked so content, as if she were the one who had been sick before.

It was at this time that news came from the imperial court that the emperor had finally expressed his opinion on the Liang emperor's intention to arrange a marriage alliance.

After much deliberation, the emperor still did not agree to the marriage alliance.

In the emperor's words, Da Sheng currently has no suitable noblewoman to marry into Da Liang. If, as the Da Liang emperor requests, just anyone is chosen for the marriage, it would be extremely disrespectful to the Da Liang emperor, so the emperor is unwilling to do so.

Furthermore, the emperor also stated that the friendly attitude of the Liang emperor towards the Sheng emperor had been fully demonstrated, and that the emperor was very confident that even if there was no more marriage alliance between the two countries, they could still maintain a good friendly relationship.

This statement... does sound rather high-sounding.

However, this also made it difficult for those who opposed the emperor's decision to refute it.

Do those who support marriage alliances insist that the Emperor of Liang is indiscriminate in accepting any marriage, regardless of whether it shows respect to him?
Or perhaps, the Great Liang simply needs to establish a marriage alliance with the Great Sheng. If they don't, the Great Liang will feel that they lack sincerity and security, and will send troops to invade.
Now, these reasons have become somewhat untenable because of the emperor's words.

Of course, even with the emperor's statement, some still wanted to push for a marriage alliance, since once this was brought up, it involved more than just the superficial issue of whether or not two countries would form a marriage alliance. Therefore, the morning court session that day was still noisy and chaotic.

However, after the emperor expressed his opinion, he ignored all the commotion in the court and paid no attention to it.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people talked about these things anymore.

Those who navigate the imperial court are perceptive; judging from the emperor's attitude, they know that the marriage alliance is most likely doomed.

Therefore, they don't need to waste any more words.

As for the Li family, who have always wanted to promote the marriage alliance...

In recent days, Empress Li has not given any new instructions from the palace.

Even though the emperor had made a statement, no word came out of the palace. This made it easy for the Li family to think that Empress Li had no intention of marrying into the country.

Of course, it's also possible that Empress Li had other plans, which is why she gave up on facilitating the marriage alliance.

The Li family could not possibly know that Empress Li had been cut off from all contact with the outside world by the emperor's men.

The Fifth Prince may have guessed something...

But there is no obligation to explain to the Li family and their associates.

The emperor would occasionally pay attention to the Fifth Prince and the Li family.

When Eunuch Yang received this news, he would naturally report it to the emperor.

After listening, the emperor pondered for two seconds and said, "It seems that the relationship between the fifth prince and Lady Li is not as it appears on the surface."
