Chapter 6 — Back to the Day of the Queen Mother's Marriage, This Time I Repented on the Spot, the Dowager was stunned

He called me both my first and last name.

"It's okay if I help you present the marriage proposal. But there's one thing I have to say first - once the proposal is presented, I, Bui Hoai, will consider it real."

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I'm not an arrow shield.”

He looked at me and slowly said:

"I want to marry you, a real wedding. If you marry me, it must also be a real marriage. If you just want to support me for a while, wait for the storm to pass and then turn around, then I won't give you this chapter."

The wind on the martial arts arena also seemed to stop. I look at him. He was more than a head taller than me, with broad shoulders. There was no calculation or prevarication in his eyes, only the directness of a martial artist. Suddenly I was a bit speechless. In her previous life, the person she married was Tham Nghien Chi. That indifferent noble Grand Deputy, even when he came to look at me, he didn't even bother to look at me. No one has ever asked me so clearly and directly - If you marry me, do you really want to get married or not? I took a deep breath.

“I can't give you the answer right now.”

“Then wait until she can answer before speaking.”

Bui Hoai stuffed that love letter back into my hand.

"I will find a way to help you prolong the matter a little longer. You don't need to worry about Lam Bich Hanh's matter anymore. I will send someone to investigate her whereabouts."

“Aren't you going to give it anymore?”

“Still offering.”

He smiled softly.

"But not today. If it were offered today, the Queen Mother would immediately know that this was forced by her."

“I have to find an excuse to make this chapter look like I volunteered it myself.”

He turned around to leave, but suddenly turned around.

"Right."

“If that guy named Tham dares to bother you again, please let someone know.”

“Let's go fight him.”

I couldn't help but laugh a little. But it's really funny. When Bui Hoai saw it, he also laughed. On the way back to the palace, I sat in the carriage, my fingertips squeezing the fake love letter. I think, this life might really be different. But as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, the maid quickly ran out.

“Miss, Master Tham is in the lobby!”

“Come again?”

“This time… he brought a holy decree.”

When I entered the lobby, Tham Nghien Chi was standing by the window with his back to me. Hearing footsteps, he turned around. In his hand he was holding a scroll of bright-colored holy thread. I don't kneel down.

“Master Shen, what does this mean?”

He didn't answer immediately. He looked at me, his eyes carrying an emotion that I had never seen before - not cold. Not far away either. It's a kind of complexity that feels like it's both burned and frozen.

"The Holy Lord heard about Lam Bich Hanh's story and was extremely angry."

He opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and horrifying.

“Specifically order me to thoroughly investigate myself.”

“So what does it have to do with me?”

“There is only one thing in saints…”

He opened the scroll of bright yellow holy scroll halfway.

"To stabilize people's hearts, before Lam Bich Hanh's case is clearly investigated, the people involved are not allowed to marry on their own."

My breathing stopped for a moment.

No need to say who the "related people" are.

It's Bui Hoai. Also is Tham Nghien Chi himself. The three months that the Queen Mother gave me were just like that directly erased by a holy edict. And the person who issued this edict... was the Emperor. The Emperor is the man of Concubine Shu. Concubine Thuc is Lam Bich Hanh's support - Therefore, this decree was given by Thuc Phi using the Emperor's hand. She is protecting Lam Bich Hanh, and at the same time locking me up. I closed my eyes for a moment.

“Lord Shen specifically came to preach this edict, does he want me to kneel down and thank the emperor for his grace?”

“I came here to tell you.”

He rolled up the holy thread.

“I received this decree very slowly.”

"From the moment the holy decree left the palace until it reached my hands, the middle one was held up all night."

He looked at me.

“That night, I went to Tu Ninh Palace once.”

I look at him.

“I said a few words to the Queen Mother.”

“What words?”

"I said - Lam Bich Hanh's case has nothing to do with Van Duong. I beg the Queen Mother to take charge and return Van Duong's innocence."
