The Empress, already advanced in age, was now trembling with fright.
"Your Majesty, Jiujiu and the War King..." What on earth is going on? She listened in confusion, as if she understood, yet seemed completely oblivious.
Ye Jiu's actions had infuriated the old Emperor. At this moment, he had no patience for explanations, only instructing, "Hurry up and pick a suitable match for that girl, settle the marriage quickly to avoid further trouble."
If he had known in advance that the War King's visit to the capital city would cause so much trouble, he would have arranged Ye Jiu's marriage earlier.
Now, he was trying to be considerate by giving her the favor of choosing someone she was satisfied with, yet she was taking advantage of his indulgence.
It's a spoiled habit; without my favor, what does she think she is?
In this capital city, without the Emperor's favor, she would have been devoured utterly long ago.
