Xiao Zhonghua knelt on the cold floor of the imperial study. "Father, I don't agree to the marriage!"
Recently, Emperor Jing Xuan had been furious and his temper could not take it anymore. "Who are you to agree to my actions? Don't think that you can disregard me just because you've contributed to wiping out the White Lotus Society. I'm the Emperor! Everything I do is for the country and the people!"
"Then must we sacrifice your daughter?"
Xiao Zhonghua was not as excited as him, but the sadness in his eyes was like a sharp sword stabbing into Emperor Jing Xuan's organs.
Emperor Jing Xuan said angrily, "This is her life as a princess! Besides, Western Jin is a powerful country. How can she be wronged if she marries into the Western Jin?"
The two of them did not mention which princess they were marrying off at all, but they already knew tacitly who the chosen one was.
