Pei Jinan was holding an imperial edict in his hand.

After His Majesty looked at it, his expression gradually became serious. He frowned slightly and looked at Pei Jinan. He took it from his hand, and after unfolding it, his expression gradually became more serious.

"This is what my father left for me." Pei Jinan paused and nodded slightly, saying word by word, "I beg my brother to marry Yangyang to me."

Pei Jinan knelt down after saying this. Although he had the late emperor's edict in his hand, he still had to give face and courtesy to His Majesty. After all, he was the current emperor.

At this moment, everyone lowered their heads. No one noticed that His Majesty's hand holding the imperial edict was trembling slightly. "You are here to force me today, Eleventh Brother."

Pei Jinan shook his head. "I definitely don't mean that. It's just that Yangyang is the woman I love. In order to marry her, I will do whatever it takes, even if it means losing my reputation."

After a long while, His Majesty chuckled and said, "You know that you will be criticized by the world for competing with your nephew for a woman."

"My dear brother, I have nothing to fear." Every word Pei Jinan spoke was full of power.

Almost everyone in Yongjin knew that Lin Tingwanhui was going to marry Pei Yanli. Now that the emperor suddenly issued an order to change her name to Pei Jinan, it would naturally be criticized by people all over the world.

"Have you ever thought about what others would say about Miss Lin?"

"I will take full responsibility and won't let anyone have the chance to say anything about Yangyang." Pei Jinan said firmly, "This marriage was requested by me, and it has nothing to do with Yangyang."

As soon as these words were spoken, His Majesty finally understood what Pei Jinan meant.

The two of them had done the bad things, and His Majesty was so angry that Pei Jinan laughed when he heard this, "Okay, okay, if that's the case, I will do as you wish."

……

Lin Tingwan was feeling very uneasy in the mansion. Finally, the big rock fell from his chest, and he became even more uneasy.

"Miss, Eunuch Sun is here, and His Majesty's imperial edict has arrived." Yuzhu ran over hurriedly and said.

When Lin Tingwan arrived, Song Yingyue and Lin Yuehong had already knelt down. She hurried forward. Eunuch Sun had a flattering smile on his face. After he saw her kneeling down, he slowly spoke.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Lin Tingwan, the daughter of the great and powerful General Lin Mingqian, is skilled and generous, kind and honest, and has outstanding character and appearance. I am very pleased to hear of her.

Now Prince Gong is already twenty-three years old, and it is time for him to get married. He should choose a virtuous woman to marry him.

Rulin Tingwan is a girl waiting to be married, and she and Prince Gong are a match made in heaven. In order to make her beautiful, Rulin Tingwan is betrothed to Prince Gong as his princess.

All ceremonies were jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory, and an auspicious date was chosen for the wedding.

The announcement was made at home and abroad, and the envoys heard about it.

This is it.

By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims.

Not only Lin Tingwan, but everyone in the yard didn't react for a long time until Eunuch Sun finished reading the imperial edict.

"Miss Lin, why don't you get up to receive the order?" Eunuch Sun asked with a smile.

Lin Tingwan finally reacted and stood up to take the imperial edict.

"This was something that Prince Gong personally asked for from His Majesty. Miss Lin is truly blessed."

Lin Tingwan couldn't hear a word at this moment. Her mind was filled with only the contents of the imperial edict. She really didn't have to marry Pei Yanli.

But marry Pei Jinan...

She thought about everything he said in her mind. It seemed that it was not a bad idea that he would not interfere too much with her freedom?

Thinking of this, Lin Tingwan suddenly felt relieved. This time it was a different life. If that was the case, what was there to worry about?

"Thank you, Eunuch Sun." Lin Tingwan smiled and thanked Eunuch Sun, took off a jade bracelet from his hand and handed it to him, "Thank you, Eunuch."

Suddenly, Eunuch Sun's face wrinkled and smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Thank you Miss Lin——"

After Eunuch Sun left, Song Yingyue looked at her with a complicated expression and opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, but for some reason, she ended up saying nothing and turned around and left.

Instead, Lin Yuehong pulled Lin Tingwan aside and asked, "What's going on with you?"

Lin Tingwan laughed grimly and said, "That's what my brother heard."

Lin Yuehong was extremely worried and asked, "Are you in love with Prince Gong?"

Hearing this, Lin Tingwan was slightly stunned, but did not say anything. He just smiled and looked at Lin Yuehong.

He immediately understood what Lin Tingwan meant. He said indignantly, "What do these people in the royal family think of you? You can remarry just because they say so? No, I'm going to find His Majesty."

Lin Tingwan reached out to stop Lin Yuehong at this moment, "Okay, brother, this is what I want to do, don't get involved in this mess."

Hearing this, Lin Yuehong looked at Lin Tingwan in disbelief and asked, "Are you serious?"

Lin Tingwan nodded firmly, "Of course it's true. Brother, you also know that I don't want to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"But Yangyang, this marriage is a big deal, not a joke. Even if you don't want to marry the Crown Prince, we still have other options. You shouldn't..."

Lin Yuehong didn't say the rest, but Lin Tingwan knew what he was worried about.

Lin Tingwan had no choice but to act shy and slowly said, "Actually, I have feelings for Prince Gong..."

Lin Tingwan stopped talking here. Some words left unfinished could make people think more.

As expected, Lin Yuehong nodded as if he understood everything when he heard this, "I understand. As long as Yangyang is happy, that's more important than anything else."

Lin Tingwan smiled and nodded when he heard this. He nodded with a happy look and said, "Thank you, brother."

Lin Yuehong nodded, smiled and touched Lin Tingwan's head, "I don't know how surprised I will be when Dad comes back."

Lin Tingwan smiled but said nothing when he heard this. This news could not be concealed. It was estimated that Lin Mingqian had already known about it by now, and everyone in Shangjing City knew about it.

The air in the room seemed to freeze, and only a heavy bang and the subsequent sound of something breaking broke the silence.

The broken porcelain slag fell to the ground like drifting snowflakes, scattered and disorderly.

The porcelain cup in His Majesty's hand had been shattered, and the sharp-edged fragments were like swords. Blood oozing from his fingertips dripped onto the cracked floor tiles, slowly sliding down the cracks and seeping into every inch of the ground.

This was the scene Pei Yanli saw when he hurried over. Eunuch Sun came in with him and ran hurriedly to the side of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" He said this and prepared to summon the imperial physician.

"No need, you leave."

"Yes——" Eunuch Sun had no choice but to retreat.

His Majesty laughed and looked at Pei Yanli and said, "Your royal grandfather is really great. Before he died, the one he was most worried about was your eleventh uncle."

Pei Yanli looked at His Majesty with anxiety and confusion, not knowing what he was talking about. His crazy look made Pei Yanli unable to recognize him.
