Chapter 1389: The Suitable Candidate

Actually, Yun Si and Yun Liu didn't know what the tattoo on this person's body meant. They just saw Mo Yunjing's deep eyes staring at the tattoo, which aroused their curiosity.In the end, Doctor Chen became the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

When this decree reached the Imperial Medical Bureau, it immediately caused a huge uproar, like water being poured into hot oil.

For a time, sounds of various reactions filled the Tai Hospital: some expressed dissatisfaction, others envied, and still others offered heartfelt blessings.

While Dr. Chen seemed unfazed, from the moment the emperor spoke of keeping him, he knew this was the inevitable outcome.

......

But in the Imperial Study, after dealing with the matter of the Imperial Medical Bureau's director, the emperor turned his gaze to Ye Er.

His gaze was very ardent, it was difficult for Ye Er to ignore.

In the end, Ye Er could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you have something to say to me"

The emperor didn't beat around the bush, he nodded directly and admitted, "Ye Qing, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married, don't you think"

Ye Er pursed his lips, just about to refuse, when the Emperor, as if he had guessed what Ye Er was going to say, sighed again and said, "Other noble families' sons your age already have children five or six years old. You can't delay any longer."

The main concern is that he won't live past his thirties. He hasn't even settled down yet, so how will he have children and pass on his lineage

Even if it wasn't for Ye Er, for the sake of his old brother's life-saving grace back then, he couldn't let the Ye family be cut off.

Without Ye Er's father, he could not have ascended to the throne, let alone the fact that Ye Er's father had saved his life.

Ye Er looked at the emperor's resolute eyes and knew that his plan had succeeded halfway.

"But Your Majesty," he said with a look of embarrassment, "you know my condition. To marry any woman now would be to ruin her."

"Whoever marries me is destined to be a widow. Not only am I unwilling to marry and harm other families' daughters, but it's also common knowledge in the capital that my body isn't good. Even if I were willing to marry, I doubt any family would agree."

This remark instantly brought a touch of anger to the Emperor's face. "I see who is unwilling to marry; as long as I issue an edict, I will see who dares not comply."

"Your Majesty, I cannot. I am unwilling to force a lady's hand. Besides, if I had wanted to marry, I would have followed your Majesty's wishes and married the County Princess of Anle Houfu. However, I did not want to harm the County Princess, so I requested Your Majesty to annul our engagement."

Ye Er suddenly mentioned that he had been betrothed to Xiao Qin, instantly reminding the emperor of the grievances between the Ye family and the Anle Marquis's mansion.

After a moment of silence, it was unclear what the emperor had been thinking about. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his thigh, looking at Ye Er with a hint of excitement and saying:

"Yes! How could I have forgotten Miss Xiao She is betrothed to you, and your father always hoped you would marry her while he was alive. This betrothal cannot be broken, you...you must marry her."

"..." Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

"Your Majesty," Ye Er said with a very embarrassed expression, "this... this probably isn't appropriate, is it"

"What's wrong with this I think there's no more suitable woman than Miss Xiao. I'll decide for you, it's her. The previous engagement still stands, I will issue an imperial decree."

"Your Majesty, please wait."

Leaf Second sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, this County Princess is truly not suitable for me."

"Why If my memory serves me right, Miss Xiao is lovely and charming. Couldn't you possibly like her"

"Like is like, but..."

Before Ye Er could finish his words, the emperor suddenly raised his hand to stop him. “That’s all I wanted to hear. If you like it, that’s enough. There’s nothing else to say.”

"Don't you dare tell me you're afraid of her becoming a widow later on. First, in my eyes, whoever marries you is blessed for several lifetimes. Second, Miss Xiao owes your Ye family anyway, regardless of the outcome, she must agree to me and marry you."

"This..."

"Alright, stop all that hesitation. I'm telling you today, you must marry this Miss Xiao. This is me fulfilling your father's last wish."

Ye Er hesitated for a moment, he slowly looked at the emperor, his lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

The emperor was irritated by his hesitant demeanor. He snapped, "Just spit it out when you're in front of me! Don't give me that shifty look. It makes me mad!"

After hearing the emperor's words, Ye Er closed his eyes and took a breath. When he opened his eyes again, it was as if he had made up his mind. He looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, actually...actually I truly have feelings for Princess Jun, but I don't want to marry her because I don't want to be resented by the woman I love day and night, and have her give me the cold shoulder."

"!" The emperor was taken aback by Ye Er's words. "What do you mean Could it be that Miss Xiao is unwilling to marry you, making things difficult for you I don't think she dares!"

The Emperor seemed to be growing angry, his tone was quite bad.

Ye Er pursed her lips and sighed, "Your Majesty, do you still remember how, because of the grievances between the Ye family and the Anle Hou Mansion, the two very talented and ambitious young masters of the Anle Hou Mansion were transferred to some remote places by Your Majesty And these years, they are not allowed to return to the capital easily."

Upon Ye Er's reminder, the Emperor vaguely recalled. He generally didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.

"That reminds me of something," he nodded, "but what does that have to do with you marrying Xiaoqin"

"Your Majesty, the county princess has a very close relationship with her two elder brothers. Once she marries into the Ye family and lives on their estate, every time she thinks of her two brothers who were transferred away because of the Ye family's past actions, how could she bear to live a good life with me How could she willingly serve me and give birth to children for me"

“Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you give the order, no matter how unwilling the county princess is, she will eventually have to marry. But what about after she comes in How will she get along with me I’m not afraid of Your Majesty laughing at me, but the first person I fell for was the county princess. I don’t want to see myself staring daggers at the woman who captured my heart every day, clashing with her constantly.”

"Thus, things would ultimately end up this way. I'd rather never marry her and break off our engagement. Perhaps then she could still remember my kindness towards her, and for me, that would be enough."

The emperor looked thoughtfully at Ye Er, perhaps there was a woman he deeply admired in his heart, or maybe it was because his past with that woman had ended just as Ye Er predicted.

At that moment, he fell silent.

Ye Er didn't know what the emperor was thinking. After he finished speaking, he fell silent.

When the emperor finally came to his senses, he only asked Ye Er one question, "Do you truly love Miss Xiao Don't you want to pressure her"

"Yes, therefore please grant your Majesty's permission."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. “If you manage to get both young masters of the Xiao family back to the capital, will she be extremely moved and willingly marry you”unjing raised his head calmly, his deep eyes staring at Yunliu, "Yunliu, do you want to get married"" ..."Yunliu's mouth instantly widened. What did the prince meanHe truly doesn't understand!His mudd...
