"What on earth do you want to say?" Murong Zhao felt distressed in his heart when he heard what Su Tang said. If possible, he would like to take that girl to him right away and take good care of her.
But seeing Su Tang drinking and saying such words, Murong Zhao also frowned.
"Sign this, and I will go back immediately to prepare a dowry for my cousin. As long as you arrange Zhou's affairs, she will be your wife." Su Tang finally took out a page and placed it on Murong Zhao's desk. In front of him, on the page, were written the words 'Heli Shu'.
"Su Tang, you are so courageous!" After all, he was an emperor. Although he usually joked, at this time, Murong Zhao's eyes widened and he was not angry.
"After much thought, this is the only way I can guarantee that she will not be afraid and leave a way out. You can choose not to sign. You are a supreme emperor and no one can force you."
Facing Murong Zhao's glare, Su Tang did not waver and looked at him resolutely, "But the Hua Qingyun in this world is definitely not the person you think!"
This is why Su Tang doesn't let Hua Qingyun enter Beijing, and why Hua Qingyun doesn't want her to hear any news except her own in Qingzhuo County.
"You also said that no one can force me, Su Tang, you don't want your life!" Murong Zhao pinched the Heli book and stared at Su Tang angrily.
"Then you kill me." Su Tang's face was red from drinking, and she refused to give in. She promised to let Luo Xingchen marry into the palace without any worries, and she would definitely do it.
"Su Tang!" Murong Zhao roared angrily, knowing that there were only a few relatives around him who he could relax and talk to and trust, but Su Tang was acting like this.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, between you and her, I chose to protect her because I know that in this patriarchal society, you will not lose.
But she wasn't. If she didn't have this escape route, she might have been uneasy, afraid that she could only rely on one person for everything, and even more worried that she would be beyond recognition.
If I wanted to, I could actually take her away in the future after you really changed, but I didn't because I wanted to believe you and that you really wanted that ordinary life and family.
We are a family, and I don’t want to be secretive. I am telling you openly today, yes, she loves you, and I don’t doubt your sincerity towards her.
But what she is afraid of is the changes brought about by the passage of time. She is afraid that one day you will regret it. If you regret it, you can still have concubines. There are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courtyards, and you will always have them if you wish.
But by then, what will she become? What she is afraid of is not only your change, but also the fear that she will become like her mother.
So don't engage in those hypocritical superficialities. If you really love her and really hope that she will be happy and beautiful, just use your current love to give her a way out. "
At this point, Su Tang said, "Also, this is my own decision. She is very cowardly. She doesn't have the courage to close the book. She will just avoid you and find a way to leave you."
Murong Zhao looked at Su Tang, "I shouldn't let you take charge of the household department, but let you go to peace talks."
Using both soft and hard tactics, threatening him not to see Hua Qingyun, and speaking out of feelings, Murong Zhao was not stupid. How could he not see through what Su Tang said.
