Outside the Ziji Palace, the Nanman King was waiting for His Highness! He received the imperial edict early in the morning and rushed to the palace to meet the emperor. This imperial edict was issued in a hurry and came very suddenly, which made him feel a little uneasy.
What made the emperor so anxious to see him?
After going through the general information, Murong Lie entered the Ziji Palace under the leadership of the eunuch father-in-law.
On the golden dragon bed, the emperor was wearing a nightgown and sitting beside the bed with a solemn expression, waiting. When he saw Murong Lie's figure appear, his expression became more complicated.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Murong Lie bowed respectfully.
"My dear, there is no need to be polite!" The emperor raised his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, and then said to the eunuchs beside him: "You all stand down!"
"Yes, Your Majesty" all the eunuchs and maids exited.
In the huge room, only the emperor and Murong Lie were left. No one spoke. Even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly in the quiet room.
"The emperor summoned his ministers here in such a hurry. I don't know why?" Murong Lie couldn't help but speak, breaking the silence.
The emperor opened his mouth to say something, then frowned and sighed heavily: "Alas..."
Murong Lie noticed the emperor's sad face and couldn't help frowning: "Is the emperor worried?"
The emperor looked up at him, stood up, took two steps forward, and sighed: "I do have something on my mind!"
"If the emperor has something on his mind, you might as well tell me directly!" Murong Lie said expressionlessly, and bowed his hands respectfully. He faintly felt something was wrong in his heart. Could the emperor's concern have anything to do with him?
"Last time, I mentioned Princess Xuanhe's marriage to you, do you remember it?"
"Remember!" Murong Lie's face sank, wondering if the emperor wanted her to marry Princess Xuanhe again!
"Well!" The emperor nodded and continued to ask: "Your marriage to Miss Shangguan has not been held yet!"
