    Feng Tian bowed her head slightly and responded in a gentle voice, “Eunuch De.”


    “I havee with a question from the emperor. Do you intend to marry Governor Shizi?”


    Eunuch De ignored Feng Xiangpletely and spoke only to Feng Tian. To him, Feng Xiang was scum and had no right to talk to him.


    “I do not have such intentions,” she replied.


    Feng Tian was slightly puzzled by the emperor’s interference. Feng Xiang was also taken aback by this, wondering why the emperor always protected Feng Tian. At the same time, there was a sh of anger on his face. He was angry that this idiot emperor was interfering with his family matters and messing up his ns. Eunuch De was pleased to see Feng Tian’s expressionless face and nodded. Then, he took out an edict from the pce.


    He said, “Besides Feng Tian, all others must kneel and receive the imperial edict.”


    There was another sh of hate on Feng Xiang’s face as he begrudgingly kneeled with his head tilted to one side in defiance. Eunuch De cast him a disdainful nce but didn’tment, instead, he read the edict: “Feng Tian is an outstandingdy, and it has been agreed between the emperor and herte mother that she shall decide about her marriage for herself. This matter is not to be forced upon her by anybody else.”


    After reading, Eunuch De ced the edict at Feng Tian’s feet. Then, he straightened his body and said to Feng Xiang imposingly, “Feng Head n, I hope you understand?”


    “I understand,” Feng Xiang replied through clenched teeth.


    This edict meant that there would be no marriage with the Ding Nation courthouse, nor was he allowed to arrange any other marriage for Feng Tian. He couldn’t understand why the emperor kept shielding Feng Tian.


    Eunuch De couldn’t be bothered with Feng Xiang. He said respectfully to Feng Tian, “Your humble servant will now return to the pce.”


    “Wait a moment,” Feng Tian called out. She took out a ceramic bottle from the Pill Scroll Realm and passed it to him. “I see that you don’t seem well, so this is medicine for you. Please send my regards to the emperor as well.”


    Even though she had only seen the emperor once at the Sparring Arena, he had helped her twice now. As long as someone was truly kind to her, she would be truly kind to them, too.


    Eunuch De received the bottle with thanks and bowed. “Thank you, Eldest Miss of the Feng family.” After that he turned and said somewhat mockingly, “Feng n Head, let me know if you still need to do some grave digging or flog a corpse. I’ll send people to help.”


    Feng Xiang saw that Eunuch De treated Feng Tian with such respect but dared to mock him. Feng Xiang just pretended to smile and said, “Eunuch De has gotten on in years and heard wrongly.”


    He was just a servant, but he dared to be so rude. He deserved to die! Eunuch De merely scoffed and didn’t continue this topic. Instead, he bowed to Feng Tian again and left.


    “Nobody is to interfere with who I marry!” Feng Tian waved the edict in her hands as she saw Feng Xiang’s angry expression and said nicely, “It’s too bad that I don’t have the privilege of getting such a good match as the governor. I’ll leave him for someone as blessed as my third sister. That way, the folks from Ding Nation can stille tomorrow.”


    Xu Jiayi’s face darkened, but he still tried to persuade Feng Tian, “We’ve already agreed on the marriage, so it’s not nice to back out of it now. For the sake of the Feng family reputation, marry him tomorrow. It’s not as if the edict says you can’t marry him.” This marriage n had been about to go through without a hitch, but the emperor had interfered and messed everything up.


    Feng Tian scoffed and waved the edict in their faces. She said, “You can marry him yourselves; I’m not marrying him.” Then, she turned and left.


    Feng Xiang was about to vomit blood from anger. He clenched his teeth and eximed, “Si Ming!”


    He was going to overthrow this emperor, sooner orter. Since he had ruined his ns time and again, Feng Xiang would make d*mned sure this emperor groveled at his feet and begged for mercy.
