Capítulo 318: Chapter 298: Uncle and Nephew (Second Update)

After Ye Guixue left, the Imperial Study Room became quiet.

The Emperor gestured for Su Rong to sit, then personally pushed the cakes on the table in front of her. "I heard you like Dim Sum?"

Su Rong nodded, thanking his Majesty, and picked up a pastry to eat in acknowledgment of the Emperor's kindness.

Looking at her, the Emperor asked, "Did you call off your engagement to Zhou Gu because the Nanchu King chose Ye Guixue for you? Is the Ye Family siding with the Nanchu King? Supporting you as the successor to the Nanchu throne?"

Su Rong paused for a moment, and then shook her head calmly. "No, I called off my engagement to Zhou Gu first, and only found out later that Guixue was sent by the Nanchu King to fetch me from Daliang."

"Why did you call off your engagement to Zhou Gu?" The Emperor asked.

Naturally, Su Rong did not speak the truth. After swallowing a piece of cake, she clapped her hands together and said, "We were incompatible. Zhou Gu wasn't right for me."
