Chapter 287: 288

Why Are You Refusing? (2)

Hearing those three words, Ye Mu’s eyes immediately widened!

The Zhao Country’s messenger spoke with a smile, “Yes, it is indeed the City Boundary Map. Before arriving, our monarch heard you were interested in collecting the maps. As a result, he invested a great deal of resources and time into finding it. Unexpectedly he actually found it! If you are willing to marry our princess, this City Boundary Map will be offered up freely by the Zhao Country!”

At that moment, Ye Mu’s heart was in her throat as she glanced at Mo Linyuan. She was uncertain and torn on whether she wanted him to agree or refuse right then…

Mo Linyuan pointed a finger at the scroll, which signaled them to return it to the other people. He stated ambiguously, “It would seem that the Zhao Country is truly sincere…”

The minister held a proud look, “What are Your Majesty’s thoughts on this? Our Princess is truly talented and beautiful. She is known as one of the most virtuous women from our Zhao Country. We do not ask much of Your Majesty, only that that you treat her with love. This would be a great union between our two countries.”

As he exclaimed this, he had really thought that the other person wouldn’t be able to refuse. He felt that with Mo Linyuan’s ambitious nature combined with his desire to collect the pieces of the map, he definitely would not let go of this opportunity. In addition to the City Boundary Map, they would also be able to unify the two countries. This could be called a win-win situation!

Just as he thought this, he heard Mo Linyuan’s magnetic voice say cautiously,

“I can see the sincerity of your esteemed country… I am truly moved but…”

The Zhao Country’s minister’s smile grew. He was just about to respond when Mo Linyuan suddenly waved his hand,

“However, please forgive this monarch as I must refuse your request. There are many ways to unify two countries. Moreover, as long as the City Boundary Map is genuine, I am willing to exchange it with something else.”

When Ye Mu heard Mo Linyuan’s response, she was uncertain of how she felt right then. Subconsciously, she glanced over at the princess who was dressed as a man. She noticed the girl’s eyes turning red. It was as if she might cry at any moment.

This caused the minister’s expression to drop. He didn’t expect that Mo Linyuan would refuse such a favorable agreement. Was he unhappy with the dowry? Or were the rumors true that he would not marry any other woman?

As he pondered on this, his face morphed into dissatisfaction. Yet, he still asked respectfully,

“Your Majesty, could you please tell this minister the reason for your refusal?”

Only the foreign minister dared to ask the emperor this question. If it had been someone from Mo Country who had asked or tried to force the sovereign to marry, he would have faced a grim ending.

Sure enough, Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes. He held clear signs of discomfort. Just as he was about to retort with a cruel response… out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a slight movement in the left side of the hallway …

Someone was eavesdropping, he realized.

There was only one person who was permitted to stay nearby when the monarch had discussions… It went without saying who was eavesdropping. Realizing this, he faintly snickered and exclaimed,

“If your esteemed country truly wanted to know, then this monarch ought to be honest. Apart from the City Boundary Map, this monarch only deeply loves and cares for one woman.”

Slight restlessness and noise spread throughout the royal court! Within this era, where men were regarded as superior to women, Mo Linyuan’s actions of only pampering Ye Mu weren’t considered a big deal. However, for Mo Linyuan to claim in front of everyone that he only loved and cherished one woman, was a concept others could not fathom.

After all, what was there that the emperor couldn’t possess? For a single woman to be his most prized possession, that was downright inconceivable!

Mo Linyuan’s announcement had also made Ye Mu dumbstruck. Mo Linyuan was supposed to be known for all eternity as a one of a kind emperor. But what if he now becomes known as an emperor who was easily engrossed by female charms; how would this ruler be able to achieve greater feats then?!

At the same time, what was going on with the slight happiness she was feeling? She must suppress it!

The Zhao Country’s minister remained silent for what felt like an eternity, as he tried to suppress his emotions. He glimpsed over at the Zhao Country’s princess before muttering respectfully, “Your Majesty… Even if you value one person… You don’t necessarily have to reject everyone else, am I right…?”
