away from the heart

Chapter 165
Xue Yao knelt in the hall, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, then said in a deep voice: "I implore the emperor to take back the marriage proposal."

The emperor's complexion suddenly sank: "Xue Yao! It's no small matter for the two countries to make a relationship. Princess Xizhao personally specified that she wants you, and the decree of the marriage has been announced to the world. If you act like this, where should I put my face? Nansang's face Where to put it!"

Xue Yao bowed deeply to the ground, and solemnly took out something wrapped in silk from his bosom.Eunuch Gao took the object and presented it to the emperor.When the silk cloth is opened, a thing is exposed, which is shaped like a tile, with iron gold characters.Eunuch Gao's knees trembled, and he immediately knelt down tremblingly: "The late emperor is here!"

The emperor was furious: "Now you want to take out the iron certificate of the first emperor's alchemy to suppress me? The first emperor gave this thing to the Xue family to reward the loyalty of the Xue family for generations. Princess Xizhao, the friendship between the two countries is also for the common people in the world, how can you be so ignorant of the general situation!"

"If Xizhao dares to have a different intention, I will put on the armor and mount the horse again for Nansang, and die!"

"Even if you are willing to die, my treasury can't afford to spend it! Years of fighting, the treasury is already empty, and the epidemic situation in the Southwest makes the situation worse. The last thing Nansang needs now is to fight again." The emperor clapped the dragon case, "Enough! The wedding is a foregone conclusion, there is no need to discuss it any further. You can take back the iron certificate of the pill. I'm tired, I'm going to rest."

Xue Yao knelt on the spot, suppressing his anger, and worried that Chuyue was thinking too much, so he turned and went to the Canary Palace.

The long night is thick, she probably still can't sleep at night.

Canary Palace has been refurbished from top to bottom.The red silk was brought in one by one, and the joy gradually spread everywhere.This palace, which has always been dilapidated, has never been so lively.It's just that this piece of joy has nothing to do with Chuyue, it's all for Naxi's beautiful marriage.Chuyue was so drunk that when she looked up, her eyes were all red, which made her breathless.

A figure appeared at the door, and he couldn't help being taken aback: "Xue Yao, why did you come in? Didn't I tell Taoyao——"

"Do you think she can stop me?"

Chuyue was angry, and pointed out the door: "This is the princess's palace, please go out, general."

Xue Yao didn't know what kind of temper she was having, and snorted coldly: "Press me with my identity? I heard that there are assassins nearby, so I came here to check."

"Assassin? Where is it?" Chuyue shuddered when she heard these two words.

"I'm an assassin." Xue Yao grabbed her hand and pressed her into his arms.

"You lied to me again!" Chuyue slapped Xue Yao's chest, angrily pushing him away.

"Again?" Xue Yao was puzzled.

"It was you who said that you were going to find the father to divorce the engagement, but there has been no news. You said that you have nothing to do with Naxi, but you clearly... If you don't want to divorce, can you tell me directly? I won't treat you A stalker." When Chuyue thought of being tricked by Xue Yao, she became so angry that she repeatedly beat Xue Yao's chest.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Did Naxi and you fabricate something?" Xue Yao frowned and grabbed Chuyue's hand.

Chuyue asked: "Lonely smoke in the desert, and wolves take their lives. Haven't these things happened before?"

Xue Yao looked straight into Shang Chuyue's eyes, without any hint of evasion: "So what, anyway, I won't marry her, not before, and not now. You promised to be my way of retreat, don't even think about running away."

"It's fine if you just say you don't want to marry, have you thought about it for me?" Chuyue threw off Xue Yao's hand, feeling sad and angry in her heart, "Naxi is your friend and benefactor, if I marry If you left, wouldn’t you be an unkind and unrighteous person?”

"All the bad things are mine, and have nothing to do with you. You just need to follow my arrangement." Xue Yao's words are sincere, and he doesn't know what to say to make Chuyue completely obey him, "In the future, unless I tell you , others say that I am not good, you can't even believe it. Even if I am really not good, you have to accept your fate, can you do it?"

"I can't do it!" Chuyue pushed Xue Yao away: "Xue Yao, calm down, the whole Nansang knows that you are going to get married, we can't be so shameless."

"Shameless?" These two words stabbed Xue Yao's ears like a dagger, "So in your eyes, am I the one who is shamelessly pestering you?"
