Chapter 196: Chapter 196 : Suspicion (2)

As soon as they closed the door behind them, Zhang Fengxi asked his father, "Father, how did the Emperor respond to the proposal?"

Zhang Zhiyuan cleared his throat.

"He was as surprised as I was when I first saw the notice from the Granny of Love and Devotion. Fengxi, ah... this is highly improper. Your mother was right. You are marrying the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Empire. You cannot just drag him to the Sun and Moon Temple without completing the preceding steps."

"But he was not against it, right?" Zhang Fengxi dug further.

He was expecting the Emperor to send for him with a battalion of soldiers, or at least rip the wedding proposal into two.

"No. He only gave out the order to postpone Liu Yichen's execution."

Zhang Fengxi raised his eyebrow at this unexpected news.

"Liu Yichen? What did that old wolf do?"

Zhang Zhiyuan sighed deeply.
