The more persistent they were, the more Emperor Yue believed they already knew the secret of Su Luo's birth.
His expression slightly hardened, "When I speak, my words carry weight! Your Majesty, even if you offered a hundred thousand cattle and sheep, it will not suffice! I understand the sincere feelings of your esteemed prince, but in my Yue Country, coveting a married woman is a serious offence. Our countries have different customs, I can understand this time, but I hope your prince will respect our customs and restrain himself in the future!"
Helian Yong's facial muscles twitched incessantly. It took him quite a while to rise to his feet and give a bow to Emperor Yue.
It was evident, he was very unwilling to leave empty-handed.
His mind was turning rapidly. Emperor Yue had refused him so firmly, could it be that he already knew about Su Luo's destiny?
If that was so, why would he let her marry a common minister? That seemed entirely unreasonable.
