"Look at Us, We've forgotten that Yunkai has already married you. It's no longer appropriate to address her by her name." The Emperor lightly slapped his forehead with a look of regret on his face. He then worriedly explained, "Jiu'an, you won't take it to heart, right? There's really nothing going on between Yunkai and Us. We only view Yunkai as a younger sister, so after the marriage contract was dissolved, We accepted her request to grant you both a marriage."

"This official knows that Yunkai only has this official in her heart. In this official's near death, Yunkai was willing to marry to this official, and was willing to accompany this official in death. This official knows her intentions." A hint of ridicule flashed past Xiao Jiu'an's eyes.

Being willing to die with Prince Yanbei was really giving Ji Yunkai too many points. There was no reason for her to want to separate from her husband now.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this official will definitely not let down Yunkai's affection." When Xiao Jiu'an said this, he did not seem to have any feelings. It was purely in response to the Emperor's words.

Marrying a woman that the Emperor did not want was enough to make his heart clench. The Emperor still wanted him to respond to him?

Did he really think that he was a fool and did not know anything at all?

He and Ji Yunkai, both knew very well, that the words written in the marriage bestowal decree was all nonsense. Ji Yunkai had been forced to marry him because of helplessness, and there simply weren't any "deep feelings of affection and no regrets" as the edict said.

If one had deep feelings and no regrets, would they have run off with someone on the day of their wedding?

Of course, these were things Xiao Jiu'an would not let the Emperor know. It would be fine as long as the emperor sees that he and Ji Yunkai are doing well.

Xiao Jiu'an did not think that he had anything else that he needed to report to the Emperor. After waiting for three seconds, and seeing that the Emperor did not speak, Xiao Jiu'an got up and said, "Your majesty, this official is unwell. Yunkai was injured last night, and this official is truly worried about her safety. This official asks to retire"

"Yunkai is injured? How bad is her injury? Why didn't you tell Us? We just asked you if Yunkai was scared. Why didn't you tell Us that Yunkai was injured?" The Emperor suddenly stood up and asked in a flurry of questions, looking extremely anxious.

If it wasn't for Xiao Jiu'an knowing how much the Emperor absolutely loathed Ji Yunkai, he might really have thought that the Emperor had feelings for her.

Using such a method to deal with a weak girl like Ji Yunkai, the Emperor was truly too shameless.

Xiao Jiu'an lowered his eyes, covering the contempt in his eyes, and said with a cold face, "Your Majesty, rest assured that Yunkai is fine, it's only a superficial wound."

Indeed, when she fell to the bottom of the mountain, under his protection, Ji Yunkai was not injured. However, she cut her left wrist and she lost too much blood.

"No, We still can't be at ease without seeing her. It's still early, so We'll bring the imperial physician with you to the Prince's estate." The Emperor ordered for all the imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital to come here without waiting for Xiao Jiu'an to speak.

Xiao Jiu'an sneered coldly once again, what does the Emperor mean by doing this? Everyone in the capital knowing that he, Xiao Jiu'an, had married a woman that the Emperor desired, and everyone in the capital knowing that the wife, that he had just married into the family, had brought him a green hat?

Your Majesty, isn't your thinking too simple?

Seeing that the Emperor was continuously wanting to have the eunuchs bring medicine and silk, Xiao Jiu'an shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, there is no need!"

"What is it? Is it too much? Then let's take two out of it." The Emperor feigned ignorance, minded his own business, and waved his hand for the eunuch to remove two bolts of cloth.

However, Xiao Jiu'an did not allow him to pretend to be stupid, and bluntly said, "Your Majesty, Yunkai is this official's wife, it is unsuitable for you to visit her. This King heard that the Ji Manor's Second Miss is still sick, so if the Emperor wants to make a visit, why don't you go visit the Ji Manor's Second Miss?"

"Jiu'an, We treat Yunkai as my younger sister!" The Emperor's face was gloomy as he spoke with a solemn expression.

"Since the Emperor has taken Yunkai as his younger sister and has not ordered her to be his foster sister, what does Your Majesty think about a title and seal be given to her as an imperial princess?" As the dignified Son of the Heavens, what use was there to say that he treated Ji Yunkai as his little sister? If he truly saw Ji Yunkai as his little sister, he should recognize her as such and confer unto her the title of an imperial princess of the Imperial Family.

But, he knew that the Emperor would never confer Ji Yunkai the title of an imperial princess. If we truly wanted to confer Ji Yunkai the title and seal of an imperial princess, it would have already long been done.

Ji Yunkai risked her life to save their Emperor, but in the end, she had ruined her appearance and lost the position of empress that was in her hands. The Emperor did not give her even the slightest bit of reward, and just casually gave her a marriage, taking away any acknowledgements and rewards of saving the Emperor. It was a chilling thing to think about.

In the future, if something were to happen to the Emperor again, who would be willing to risk their life to save him?

"Imperial princess?" Xiao Jiu'an's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly killing the Emperor's plans. The Emperor said without even thinking, "That's not appropriate, the Imperial Family's matter is the Nation's matter. It is related to national affairs, so it cannot be rushed."

"The Emperor regards Yunkai as his younger sister. It's within reason that he recognizes her as his foster sister. I hope the Emperor will consider it carefully." You want to go to Prince Yanbei's Mansion to see Ji Yunkai? If you can't do it, don't use "We will treat Yunkai as my younger sister" every day.

He hated Ji Yunkai from the bottom of his heart, how could he be willing to give her the title of an imperial princess?

"Your Majesty, please take your time. This official will help Yunkai thank Your Majesty for these gifts." There was no need to visit Ji Yunkai, but he had to give him a reward anyway.

He did not care about the Emperor's reward, he just wanted the Emperor to not be too proud.

"No, need to be polite! It's just gifts." The Emperor was once again swallowed by Xiao Jiu'an. He saw that Xiao Jiu'an's expression was strange, but unfortunately, he was unable to retract the his words on bestowing rewards.

Xiao Jiu'an was not Ji Yunkai, someone he could casually bully just because he was the Emperor. Even though he clearly knew that Xiao Jiu'an was doing it on purpose, he could only endure it!

The Emperor regretted it now. He should not have said that he treated Ji Yunkai as his younger sister. Instead of tricking Xiao Jiu'an, he dug himself a pit and jumped into it. He felt wronged.

"As expected... there is no way to like that Prince Yanbei. Even if he can fight, without any second thought, we will still be unable to like him!"

Seeing Xiao Jiu'an's back as he walked further and further away, the Emperor's expression grew uglier and uglier.

He was the Emperor, and his authority could not be provoked. People like Xiao Jiu'an, who continually provoked his authority, should not exist!
