Chapter 483 Jiang Dichen, this is the palace, it's not right
Shen Ruolan took a deep breath, resisted the urge to curse, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."
When the emperor heard Shen Ruolan was unwilling to help, his face suddenly turned bad. He asked Shen Ruolan with a sullen face, "Why?"
Shen Ruolan raised her head, looked at the emperor and said fearlessly: "Because, I have never thought of becoming someone else's equal wife."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she saw that the emperor's face had become even uglier, so she quickly explained to him: "Your Majesty, I can withdraw. You can just let Prince Han marry Miss Liu."
After the emperor heard Shen Ruolan's words, he looked at her coldly and asked, "Are you really willing to quit?"
Shen Ruolan said: "As long as the Emperor and Prince Han do not detain my two children, I, Shen Ruolan, am willing to withdraw."
The emperor snorted coldly and said to Shen Ruolan, "How can the descendants of the Jiang family live in exile?"
When the emperor said this, he suddenly changed the subject and warned Shen Ruolan in a cold voice: "Shen Ruolan, the matter of the fifth son marrying Miss Liu is a done deal. Whether you agree or not, you have to accept it anyway."
Shen Ruolan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, as long as Prince Han is willing, I naturally have no objection."
She and Jiang Dichen had an agreement when they got married. As long as she was the legal wife, she didn't care who he married. However, they could only be a couple in name only.
The emperor was furious when he saw Shen Ruolan was not moved by his soft words. Just as he was about to continue to put pressure on Shen Ruolan, he heard someone outside the door report: "Your Majesty, Prince Han wants to see you."
The emperor saw that his son had rushed over before he had said a few words to Shen Ruolan. He looked at Shen Ruolan unhappily and ordered the person outside the door, "Let him in."
"Yes," the person outside the door said, and then said to Jiang Dichen, "Your Majesty, please."
Jiang Dichen came in from outside and hurriedly looked for Shen Ruolan. When he saw her standing in front of his father unharmed, he felt relieved.
Jiang Dichen came before his father and bowed to him, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."
The emperor looked at his son and asked with an unhappy look on his face, "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Dichen said truthfully: "In reply to your father's words, Ruolan's legs have just recovered, and it is not easy for her to stand for a long time. I am worried so I came to check on her."
After saying this, he did not wait for his father to excuse himself, but stood up and walked to Shen Ruolan, and asked with concern: "Ruolan, how is your leg? Do you want to rest?"
Shen Ruolan looked at Jiang Dichen who appeared in time, smiled at him and said, "I'm fine."
"Well, I'm glad you're okay." Jiang Dichen finished speaking, and he helped Shen Ruolan walk towards the chair and said, "Your legs are not good, don't stand, go sit on the chair and rest."
After Shen Ruolan heard what Jiang Dichen said, she glanced at the emperor and saw that he was looking at the two of them with a dark face. She smiled awkwardly at Jiang Dichen and said, "It's okay, I can hold on."
Seeing that Shen Ruolan was unwilling to sit, Jiang Dichen had no choice but to say to his father, "Father, if you have anything to say, just come to me directly. Ruolan was injured because of saving me, so she can't bear the hardship."
The emperor looked at the two people who were singing the same tune and said with a headache, "I just asked her to ask a few questions. Why are you so nervous?"
Jiang Dichen said bluntly: "She is my woman, if I am not worried about her, who should I be worried about?"
After hearing what his son said, the emperor looked at him with an unhappy face and said, "Liu Meizhao is also your wife-to-be, and I don't see you caring so much about her?"
The emperor's words instantly made Jiang Dichen angry. He looked at his father and said word by word, "Father, I will say it again. Whoever decides on the eldest daughter of the Liu family will marry her. This has nothing to do with me."
After saying this, he said to Shen Ruolan: "Ruolan, don't worry, I won't marry anyone else except you."
Jiang Dichen's words instantly enraged the emperor, and he shouted at him, "Jiang Dichen, you are provoking me. Is my patience with you?"
After he finished speaking, he continued to give him a death order: "Listen to me, you must marry Liu Meizhao, otherwise, don't even think about marrying Shen Ruolan!"
Jiang Dichen was also very angry after hearing his father's threat. Without saying anything, he pulled Shen Ruolan and said, "Ruolan, let's go."
Since his and Ruolan's wedding ceremony could not get the support of his father, he could just prepare it himself in the mansion. After all, he would not be the one to be embarrassed.
The emperor saw his son ignoring his authority like this. He looked at his back and angrily shouted, "Jiang Dichen, we haven't agreed on anything today. You dare to step out of the door and see!"
Jiang Dichen stopped and turned back to the emperor and said coldly: "Father, I have said what I should say. If you insist on letting Liu Meizhao marry me, then you can let the people of the Liu family wait to collect her body!"
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he looked at his father with a cold face and left without saying a word.
Shen Ruolan looked at the tense father and son, which made her feel anxious. She was silent for a moment and said to Jiang Dichen, "Jiang Dichen, how about putting the marriage on hold for now?"
Jiang Dichen listened to Shen Ruolan's words. He held her hand tightly and said to her, "Ruolan, I don't want to wait any longer to marry you. So, no matter who it is, no one can stop me from marrying you."
Shen Ruolan looked at him with a troubled expression and said, "But..."
Jiang Dichen said: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."
Seeing that Jiang Dichen was full of confidence, Shen Ruolan nodded to him and stood beside him silently.
Jiang Dichen stopped talking and just stood there, waiting for his father to speak.
The emperor looked at the two people who were in love with each other, took a deep breath, and slowed down his tone to discuss with his son: "Chen'er, I have already said something, and there is no reason to take it back. Therefore, you must accept this marriage with the Liu family."
Jiang Dichen looked at his father and said expressionlessly, "How difficult is this? Father, why don't you just take her into the harem? You're marrying into the Jiang family anyway."
The emperor was infuriated by Jiang Dichen's words. He took the cup on the table and threw it at him mercilessly, cursing at him loudly: "Rebellious son, get out of here, get out now!"
Jiang Dichen was just hoping for that, and the moment his father hit him, he pulled Shen Ruolan and ran out of the imperial study.
Outside the imperial study, Shen Ruolan lost her balance suddenly due to standing for a long time and running at the same time, and she fell forward.
Jiang Dichen quickly supported her and asked, "Ruolan, what's wrong with you?"
After Shen Ruolan stood firmly, she bent down and rubbed her knees and said, "My legs are a little sore."
Jiang Dichen knew she had been standing for too long, so he quickly found a flat place and asked Shen Ruolan to sit down, saying, "Hurry up and sit down. I'll help you massage."
After he finished speaking, he reached out to massage Shen Ruolan's legs.
Seeing this, Shen Ruolan quickly refused him and said, "Jiang Dichen, this is in the palace, it's not appropriate."
If it were any other time, it would be fine, but now under the emperor's nose, she dared not challenge his authority.
