Dean Chen's expression was grim. The Prime Minister's residence was one thing, but the royal family—and the Crown Prince, no less—was another. The most troublesome of all, however, was Consort Yuan.
Hailing from a family of alchemists, she was known for her ruthless methods. She was not someone to be trifled with.
Xiliu Yuan's brow furrowed slightly.
Elder Gu was so shocked he opened and closed his mouth several times without a word coming out. 'What is going on?'
The Zhan and Qian families were also stunned into silence by the sudden imperial marriage decree.
The entire palace hall fell silent.
It took the Beili Emperor a long moment to react, but the words had already been spoken. Who could have thought that one little girl was connected to four major families? If he were to betroth Ye Qianning to the Gao family...
Wouldn't that mean Prime Minister Gao would become related by marriage to all four of them? Unacceptable.
