Dusk fell heavily, plunging Shengjing City into the silence of the night.
All forces were watching from across the shore, not getting involved.
Prince Gong stood before his bedroom, looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace. He could already guess the panic that must be unfolding there at this moment.
But... this was only the beginning.
A weight on his back, Princess Consort Gong stepped forward slowly, draping a cloak over him.
"Brother Emperor values his face the most, I'm afraid by tomorrow, the imperial decree for the arranged marriage will enter Wei Mansion."
The marriage between the Wei and Yan families would naturally be called off then.
With a gentle voice, Princess Consort Gong said, "I'm afraid the Fifth Princess is unwilling."
"Unwilling? Does she have the luxury to call the shots now? At most she might threaten to end her life to force Brother Emperor to retract his order, but she values her own life, how could she truly be willing to die?"
