This was far from what he had envisioned.
He had assumed that even if this individual had stumbled upon divine favor and achieved something extraordinary, they would merely resemble a newly affluent bandit. Naturally, they couldn’t carry the same air as royalty.
In any case, when facing the Emperor, they ought to exhibit timidity.
The Emperor of Jinwei Land had ruled for a substantial duration. Anyone, regardless of who they were, displayed a degree of unease in his presence.
A profound silence lingered.
Even as the nanny at her side began to feel the mounting pressure, Xu Xunnan’s countenance remained impassive.
The Emperor of Jinwei Land was fully aware that this outcome was inevitable, regardless of the duration of the silence.
Hence…
He decided to break the silence. “Please, have a seat.’
“Women from Jinwei Land seldom exhibit the audacity you possess, but it’s a rarity. I’ve bestowed upon you this special privilege. You need not prostrate yourself before me,” the Emperor of Jinwei Land conveyed generously.
However, it served as a subtle escape route for him.
After all, he was the emperor.
It went against protocol for someone to abstain from prostrating themselves.
Nonetheless…
Jinwei Land was in a state of turmoil at present.
Xu Xunnan was a figure who couldn’t be openly affronted.
Hence…
The Emperor of Jinwei Land couldn’t compel her.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t allow himself to lose face.
Gu Chaoyan flashed a fleeting smile.
This Emperor of Jinwei Land was rather amusing.
This statement essentially served as a diplomatic exchange.
Desiring a special treatment?
Even if he refrained from granting it, Xu Xunnan had no intention of kneeling As they had convened for discussions, Gu Chaoyan had no intentions of assuming a subservient role to the Emperor of Jinwei Land.
However…
She didn’t aim to expose him.
If this was his desire, she would indulge him.
“I summoned you to the palace today because I wish to discuss a matter with you,” the Emperor of Jinwei Land declared. While he spoke, he directed his gaze toward Zhang Cailiang, Wang Yuankui, and even Xu Yuanlong.
Zhang Cailiang and Wang Yuankui both concentrated on the situation at hand.
Xu Yuanlong nodded, signifying his alignment with the Emperor of Jinwei
Land.
Gu Chaoyan remained attentive, her gaze fixed on the Emperor of Jinwei Land, awaiting his initiation.
Given that the Emperor of Jinwei Land had called her into the palace, it was only fitting that he should commence.
Observing that Xu Xunnan displayed no objections, the Emperor of Jinwei Land proceeded. “Now that Jinwei Land is in disarray, the normal lives of these commoners have been disrupted. So, what if these women possess cultivation? Aren’t they still at home taking care of their husbands and children?”
“Unlike you, you are a fearless and astute young lady.”
“As long as you cease leading them to cause further disruptions, I am prepared to grant you your desires. Esteemed status, riches, a distinguished husband, gold, silver, and precious gems, I am willing to bestow upon you. I can even place you just below one individual, superior to thousands.”
“Whether you can attain this rests on your willingness.”
“Your Xu family can ascend to greatness as well. If you give the word, the Xu family can bask in affluence and prestige. Your father’s status can be elevated, and you can decide the role.”
“How does this proposition sound? I believe I have expressed my sincerity. There is no necessity for you to rally those people any longer. Why must you persist in such a humble position?”
Upon hearing the Emperor of Jinwei Land’s statement,
The nanny appeared somewhat bewildered.
The Emperor’s offer implied that he was prepared to provide Lady Xu with immense wealth and grandeur, while those girls would suffer.
These terms were undeniably enticing.
It was no wonder the nanny felt distressed..
