Chapter 275: A Lowly Woman As Your Wife

Royal Courts, Hanjian

"Your Highness, you must reconsider!" Cries of protest arose throughout the court. 

Yu Zhen sat upon a throne with an aloof expression. His eyebrows drew together slightly out of agitation. He had his eyes closed, almost as if he didn't care about their opinions. Quite frankly, he didn't. They could all drop dead in front of him and he wouldn't flinch. 

"You shouldn't take such a lowly woman as your wife, Your Highness. For the wellbeing of this country, we need someone who's as accomplished as you. The Empress is the mother of our country. If she's a commoner, how will the people think?!"

Hu Dengxiao glanced at the Crown Prince. The Emperor of Hanjian was nowhere to be found. This throne was meant for the Emperor, yet Yu Zhen sat there as if it was made for him. There was not a single flaw in sight. This throne had always belonged to the Second Prince.
