The Emperor had never experienced Yun Chi's fury before, but knowing his temperament, once truly angry, it would surely be earth-shattering. He truly dared not imagine, nor did he wish to experience Yun Chi settling accounts after the fall harvest.
After all, when Yun Chi left the Capital City, he had intended to leave Hua Yan behind to help him keep an eye on things, but he trusted no one else and insisted on having her by his side. This showed that he was truly set on marrying her, and no one should doubt his determination.
If he really issued an imperial edict to break off the marriage, it would indeed solve the current issue of Lin'an's Hua Yan not becoming the Crown Princess Consort without affecting the continuity of the Royal Family's lineage. However, dealing with Yun Chi's wrath afterward might prove to be an even greater problem.
