Inside the Shang court, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

"My lord, now is the time to deal with the princess's marriage." The state teacher spoke to the king of Shang with a flattering look on his face.

"Ye Chen, you have just recovered, it might not be a good idea to bring this up now." The king frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He was concerned about Ye Chen's condition. After all, Ye Chen had just gone through some twists and turns, and his body and spirit had just recovered a little.

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the reputation of the royal family and cannot be delayed any longer. If it is not handled properly, where will our prestige be and we will be laughed at by the world." The national teacher continued to lobby, and his words seemed to be filled with a bit of urgency and persistence.

After pondering for a moment, the king sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, you go down and make arrangements. I'm not feeling well and need to rest. All matters will be handled by the deputy king." After that, the king got up and left the palace, returning to his bedroom to rest.

The next day, two orders that shocked the nation were issued. One was to dissolve Ye Chen and Meizi's marriage by order of the king; the other was to announce that Ye Chen would be the consort and a date would be chosen for Princess Sunny to marry Ye Chen.

When this news reached Meizi, she was immersed in the vision of happiness, and suddenly it was like a thunderbolt. She couldn't believe her ears. The beautiful memories of her past with Ye Chen came to her mind like a tide, but now it seemed to be shattered. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

In a quiet corner of the palace, the Imperial Master and Meiko stood facing each other.

The national teacher said in a serious tone: "Minister Meizi, I know that you have fought against the rebels many times for the Shang Kingdom and made new contributions. You are a meritorious official of the Shang Kingdom, but you also have to consider the reputation of the Shang Kingdom and sacrifice your own family for the sake of the public." There was an unquestionable look in his eyes as he stared at Meizi.

Meiko frowned, feeling displeased. "What ridiculous logic! You actually believe in such despicable tactics. Aren't you falling into Nie Bo's trap?" She retorted bluntly, her eyes revealing anger and determination.

The Imperial Master remained unmoved, and continued, "You also know that Nie Bo kidnapped Princess Sunny to have her marry his son Ye Chen, and the wedding ceremony has already been held. The most hateful thing is that those private videos have been leaked, causing great damage to the honor of the royal family. The only way to make up for it now is for the two of them to get married." As he spoke, he observed Miko's expression, trying to convince her.

"You clearly know that Ye Chen and I are truly in love, but you insist on breaking us up with ill intentions?" Meizi's voice rose a few degrees, her eyes full of disappointment and questioning. She couldn't understand why the national teacher insisted on such an unreasonable arrangement. Her feelings for Ye Chen were sincere, and they had been through a lot, but now they had to face such a situation.

Meizi stood there, her body trembling slightly, her heart struggling in pain. She had given so much to the Shang Kingdom, but she didn't expect to be treated like this. She looked at the national teacher, hoping to find a trace of hesitation on his face, but the national teacher still had that firm expression, as if everything was already destined.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace was depressing and tense. Meizi's fate seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, but she was unwilling to compromise. She secretly swore in her heart that she must fight to the end for her love with Ye Chen. However, facing the dominance of the national teacher and the reputation pressure of the royal family, she felt extremely helpless and confused, not knowing what to do...

Ye Chen and Sunny were also caught off guard by the sudden news. Ye Chen was shocked when he heard the news. He and Meizi had a deep relationship. Although they had experienced many ups and downs, they had never thought that their marriage would be dissolved so suddenly. He was full of doubts and confusion.

Ye Chen came before the king in a panic. He knelt down without hesitation and said earnestly, "King, Meiko and I are truly in love. Why are you ordering the dissolution of our marriage?" His eyes were full of anxiety and confusion. He looked straight at the king, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

The king frowned slightly, and before he could respond, Ye Chen continued, "I was controlled by the rebels using drugs and magic to get into this absurd marriage. It's totally ineffective, King." He worked hard to fight for his and Meiko's relationship, trying to make the king understand the unreasonableness of all this.

At this moment, the Imperial Master echoed in a sarcastic tone: "Ye Chen, just be happy. It is the blessing you earned in your previous life to be recruited as a royal consort." There was a hint of sarcasm on the Imperial Master's face, as if he was laughing at Ye Chen's arrogance.

Ye Chen glared at the Imperial Master angrily, and his hatred for him increased a bit. He knew that the Imperial Master must have played a bad role in this, but at this moment he was more concerned about the decision of the King. He turned his eyes to the King again, hoping that the King would take back his decision and fulfill his love with Meizi. The atmosphere in the palace was tense and depressing. Ye Chen's fate seemed to hang on a thread. His heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness, but he still firmly fought for his love and waited for the King's response.

The king was furious: "Look at what you have done, you have brought shame to the royal family."

The king pointed at the USB drive containing the pornographic video.

Princess Sunny was also very surprised. She liked Ye Chen very much, and was suddenly arranged to marry him. She was full of confusion and anxiety. After all, Ye Chen loved Meizi deeply, and it was definitely inappropriate to use this method to take away someone's love.

Princess Sunny then went to find her father to reason with him.

Princess Sunny walked into the king's study with a solemn expression. She went straight to the king, bowed slightly, raised her head and said firmly: "Father, I beg you to withdraw the order for me to marry Ye Chen." There was a hint of stubbornness and worry in her eyes.

The king raised his head and looked at his daughter. A complicated look flashed in his eyes. He said slowly: "Sunny, this matter concerns the overall situation of the country and the reputation of the royal family. It is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed." There was unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Princess Sunny said anxiously: "Father, I have no emotional basis for Ye Chen. Such a marriage is unfair to both him and me. And I heard that he and Meizi are truly in love. How can we break them up abruptly?" Her eyes were full of resistance to this unreasonable marriage.

The king frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Sunny, as a princess, you should have a big picture. Ye Chen has a special status now, and his marriage to you will benefit the country in many ways. As for feelings, you can cultivate them slowly in the future."

Princess Sunny became even more anxious after hearing the king's words. She pleaded again, "Father, I really don't want to get involved in this complicated situation. I believe there must be other better solutions. It is not necessary to maintain the reputation of the royal family in this way."

However, the king had made up his mind. He stood up, walked to Princess Sunny, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Sunny, father knows you have some concerns in your heart, but you must understand that this is your responsibility. You must accept this arrangement for the sake of the country and the royal family."

Princess Sunny looked at the king's determined eyes and knew that her request would not be responded to. She was filled with helplessness and confusion. She didn't know how to face this sudden marriage, nor did she know what the future would be like, but she understood that in the face of the king's authority, she was temporarily powerless to change all this. She could only quietly leave the study, but she was still thinking in her heart whether there were other ways to change this situation.

The whole city and even the whole country were in an uproar. People were discussing this sudden marriage. Some felt sorry for Ye Chen and Meizi, some were deeply puzzled by the king's decision, and some were watching the development of the situation with a mentality of watching the fun.

At this time, the national teacher was secretly pleased with himself, as his plot had initially succeeded. He was secretly planning his next move, thinking about how to use this marriage to further consolidate his power, completely ignoring the pain and distress it would bring to others. After receiving the order, the deputy king had doubts in his heart, but he could only follow the king's instructions and began to busy himself with arranging matters related to the marriage. The palace was tense and busy.

However, this storm has just begun. How will the subsequent development be? Can Ye Chen and Meizi get out of the predicament? Everything is still unknown. We can only wait for the next chapter to reveal it...
