The fat man panicked a little and rushed over to grab the chain on the neck of the black hawk. He didn't care about how reluctant the black hawk was, he tightly hugged the chain to protect Ying'er. "You can't hurt Ying'er, third sister …"

The girl, who was being stared at by a pile of fat eyes, shook her head helplessly. She was also annoyed that her elder brother had a fierce eagle by his side all day, but although her elder brother was a fool, he was extremely protective towards the black hawk.

"Young master, I am truly sorry. My big brother's character is pure and innocent. He did not mean for the black hawk to bite your pet bird to death. How much compensation do you think is needed?"

Yao Sisi did not say anything. She had a good impression of this woman, but she was not happy with the fact that someone thought of her as the winner of the scam. With a cold face, she asked, "Who are you? Look at how much this eighth brother of mine, who has been with me for more than ten years, is worth! "

When he saw that the fat man was still acting as if nothing had happened, hugging the black hawk and nibbling on a chicken leg, his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He really was a glutton after all.

"My brother and I are both from the Azure Sun Empire, so young master can just call me Yun Rong. I came here today to find a Godly Doctor to treat big brother's silly illness, if you dare commit any immoral acts please forgive me young master. As for this eighth brother, I think a hundred silver is more than enough for young master."

Yao Sisi's heart was a little more perturbed towards this Yun Rong girl. Her words were indeed very well-spoken. Although her words were pleasant to hear, she revealed a little bit of unyielding attitude, yet she did not let him lose face.

It would be unwise for her to ask for more money for compensation. A hundred taels of silver was more than enough to compensate for the bird she spent a tael of silver on. However, she was now immune to a hundred taels of silver.

If that was the case, then he might as well ask her to become more friendly with him in Yaochi Kingdom. Didn't they say they were from Qingyang City? Then, she would have them owe her a favor.

Thus, Yao Sisi's expression relaxed, "Since Miss Yun Rong has said so, then I won't be able to keep my manners. This money should be left for Miss Big Brother's treatment. As for this matter, just treat it as Miss owing me another favor."

"Hey!" "Wait a moment."

Yao Sisi smiled without caring about the girl's shout behind her. If she stopped, wouldn't she lose her favor? Of course, she had to quickly leave. The next time she met her, she would have to collect interest.

"Yun Rong, it really is a good name. If you want to wear clothes, you'd better pray that you don't meet me, or else you'll know that this person can owe me anything in life. The only thing you can't do is owe me two things."

Yun Rong naturally did not know what Yao Sisi was thinking. Other than feeling that Yao Sisi was a strange person, she had also forgotten about this matter. After having dinner, she left the restaurant with the fat man.

Prime Minister Yao dejectedly walked out of the palanquin, while Yao Shichang walked out of the other palanquin with an ugly expression on his face. The Prime Minister's wife had long been waiting at the door with the support of her daughter-in-law. When she saw her husband and eldest son alight from their palanquin, she immediately went to welcome them.

"How is it? Is the Emperor willing to take back his orders?"

Prime Minister Yao shook his head as he walked into the mansion. Following that, Yao Shichang supported his mother and weakly said, "Your majesty, I'm very angry that Second Brother doesn't know what's good for him. He said he wants Second Brother to go to the Imperial Study and meet him."

"Then what should we do? The Emperor wouldn't want your brother's head, would he? "

His mother's legs felt weak as she looked worriedly at Yao Shichang.

"Mother, that won't happen. I think that as long as Second Brother explains it to the emperor, the emperor won't criticize Second Brother too harshly."

He knew that this time, the emperor was truly angered. Originally, the emperor had only hinted that he was lucky enough to avoid the marriage alliance between the officials of the government, but who knew that the princess of the Qitian Kingdom had come to the imperial court with her diplomatic mission. With the help of the relationship between the two countries, they had been rejected one by one, and it was unknown where he had gotten the news that the imperial court had proposed the decision to marry his second brother.

Unexpectedly, the imperial edict arrived before his father could announce the Emperor. Now, if his second brother didn't agree to the marriage, the Qi Tian Kingdom would probably use this as an excuse to find excuses to openly offend the emperor. If the emperor wasn't anxious, then the emperor wouldn't be angered. As a subject, Yao Shichang understood that sometimes the Emperor would rather sacrifice the happiness of his subjects in exchange for a quarter-hour of peace and quiet.

"Big Brother, I'll follow you into the palace."

Yao Yifan's voice suddenly rang out, and when he looked over, he was already standing right in front of him. Yao Shichang was a little shocked, "Second Brother, you heard it!"

"Mm. Big brother, since the Emperor wants to see me, then let's go."

"Yi Hang, my son, you can't go against the emperor, you know, he'll understand if you speak properly."

As a mother, she naturally wasn't at ease with Yao Yihang's departure. She couldn't help but repeatedly remind him, before looking at her eldest son and saying, "You have to protect your younger brother more."

"Mother, don't worry. Your son will."

Yao Shichang glanced at his mother, then, with a few words of warning to his wife, he brought Yao Yihang back to the palace.

Outside the Imperial study: After Yao Shichang had the eunuchs enter the study, the Emperor actually only allowed Yao Yihang to meet him alone. Yao Shichang followed the etiquette of a sovereign and could only be anxious outside.

"This commoner greets the Emperor."

Zuo Hongyi raised his head from a pile of memorials and replied, "Stand up! "You aren't satisfied with our bestowing of marriage, right?"

Yao Yihang kneeled down once again, declaring in a tone that was neither humble nor haughty, "This subject doesn't dare to do so. It's just that this subject already has a subordinate heart. I humbly request Your Majesty to retract your decree."

"Pah!"

Zuo Lianyi threw the imperial report to the ground and looked at the man in white, who was lying on the ground, and said unhappily, "Why do you not dare?! Now that I've already passed down my orders, you can go back and wait for your wedding and advance to an official!"

Yao Yi Hang stood up and walked gracefully with elegant steps. He raised his head to look at Zuo Rongyi, calm enough to not want a subject. "Your majesty, what if this commoner doesn't agree?"

"Are you rebelling? Don't think that your Yao family can do whatever they want just because you've done a great service to the country. Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

Turning around, his face was covered with a frosty mask. His gaze was sinister as he looked down at her from above, seeming as if he couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on her, as he blurted out in a forceful and straightforward manner.

"I will give you two choices. One, be your consort. Two, wait for the Yao family to die with you."

"Your Majesty, do you think that just because this subject agreed to the marriage alliance, the Qi Tian Kingdom would keep their promise and not start a war? Would such a retreat satisfy the wolfish ambitions of the Qi Tian country? This commoner knew that the Emperor was a wise king, and that even the Heavenly Kingdom would not give up. But how long could such a peace last?

This time, the princess of Qitian was obviously causing trouble, so it ended up like this. She must have known that this subject couldn't agree, which would allow them to find an excuse; if this subject agreed, she would definitely suggest for this subject to go to the princess' residence. This war will still erupt. "

Each word struck right into Zuo Rongyi's heart. Zuo Rongyi was shocked but also realized that Yao Yiping's talent wasn't inferior to Yao Shichang's. While remaining calm and collected, he could still disregard imperial power. No wonder such a person could gain quite a bit of status in the business world.
