Repairing the Past

Chapter 65

The refusal of Mo Yan's marriage license application took place in the middle of the palace meeting.

Not only one or two officials protested, almost all had resistance to the decisions taken by their top leadership.

The cliche reason remained a booming scourge for Mo Yan. From the bloodline, the defendant executes the rebellion, an unclear identity, to the tangle of engagement that is still tied between Mo Yan and Shen Xue Ying, to the, the ends are the foundation to lead opinions on the differences in status that are very far for the two prospective brides.

Mo Yan was not stupid. He has prepared mentally. He didn't just carry his bare hands to get everyone there to agree.

"Any noble marriage with Miss Chu cannot be performed. Miss Chu's past isn't very good. It will affect the reputation of the noble and the Kingdom of Alorra in the future." Reject minister Chen without shady aling-aling.

"Minister Chen is right. His majesty could not marry a woman who was in fact a descendant of the arch-enemy Alorra. Will we soon be invading his country. There's no guarantee that he won't betray us." Chief minister of Guo, as the country's Minister of Culture.

"Again, you are still engaged to my daughter, your majesty. " Add the prime minister with a slight bow, "if until a noble marriage is really held, what is the future of my son? Please your majesty think of him."

Mo Yan did not budge. He did not even show an angry face to the protests of his officials. Calmly and flat-faced Mo Yan replied, "miss Chu's past is indeed no better than my past. As with me, he could not choose where he was born and who his parents would be.. "

"Regardless of his arrest as well as his family's death sentence, it was purely slanderous and also a grand conspiracy masterminded by Emperor Long. If you don't believe me, please see the evidence.."

Mo Yan's eyes rolled towards A-wei who was standing not far from the throne he was sitting on. The guard swiftly took out some parchments and carried them in the midst of the people gathering.

The prime minister welcomed the parchment and opened it with other officials. The wet stamp from the crown prince's residence of Airland was clearly attached under the handwriting on the parchment.

They read all the explanations Long Ye Zuan had expounded on the baseless accusation of rebellion in the parchment.

"If the gentlemen still do not believe in its authenticity, I hope the gentlemen can be patient waiting for its proof on the battlefield later. The crown prince of Airland will announce it in person and I dare guarantee with my life that he will keep his promise." It was Mo Yan who had walked down the steps of the throne stairs.

"But your honor, isn't the explanation of the crown prince any less powerful to clear Miss Fu's reputation I mean Miss Chu." Chen's denials were later justified by other officials.

Mo Yan had expected that the support Ye Zuan had given him was still unable to satisfy his ranks.

"I understand your concerns, Minister Chen. If Chu Yao's status remains beyond repair then I will use the power of the Merva kingdom.."

Mo Yan took out a lion-carved plaque that was the royal emblem of Merva in his hands, "I have already contacted Merva's side and they are willing to replace Chu Yao's bloodline with her mother's original descendants. They had immediately declared that Chu Yao since this was no longer a Long descendant but rather a descendant of Meng. Merva guarantees that there will be no betrayal from her descendants.."

"..As clean as the reputation of king Meng was, so was the clean status and ancestry of the current Chu Yao. And if anyone doubts it, then the Merva government will not hesitate to revoke cooperation between countries!"

Low-pitched voices of officials began to be heard. They start to look worried. If Merva were to completely revoke the cooperation contract, then the biggest nickel supplier would really make Alorra difficult.

Mo Yan pulled the knot of his heart. He began to feel a little relief. At least the hope for marriage is not just a figment.

Minister Guo bowed respectfully again, "your highness, what about the prime minister's daughter. If until the annulment of this engagement is decided unilaterally, I fear it will have an impact on the political defences within our country."

"Yes!" The chief minister of the economy, "what if your highness first marries the daughter of the prime minister, after which his highness can make Miss Chu a concubine."

Some of the people who were there instantly threw sharp glances at the man. General Luo who did not want to interfere was forced to elbow the old minister of the economy quite hard.

The middle-aged man's suggestion sounded presumptuous and lowered Chu Yao's status as a direct descendant of the Merva kingdom.

Not to mention the cold look on the emperor's face made everyone there freeze in a feeling of intimidation.

The minister of the economy slapped his mouth involuntarily, "please forgive the servant, your majesty. This brain is getting older so that it cannot think before words are out. "

Mo Yan took a deep breath. Instead of punishing him, he went back to explaining, "the officials present here need not worry. I will never make a unilateral annulment of my and Shen Xue Ying's engagement."

"Call Miss Shen into the meeting room!" Mo Yan's orders were on the bodyguards guarding outside the door of the meeting hall.

Quickly, one of the bodyguards left and moments later returned with a woman they knew.

Shen Xue Ying walked gracefully into the hall. He saluted the emperor Alorra and the court officials there.

He glanced at his father, prime minister Alorra, who seemed a little distressed by the situation. Shen Xue Ying smiled then nodded her head as a sign that she would be fine.

"Shen Xue Ying was present at the noble call." The green-eyed woman said with great politeness.

"Miss Shen, I won't beat around the bush. Is Miss Shen willing to cancel your engagement and I before the current court officials?" Mo Yan said in a firm and deep voice.

Shen Xue Ying replied loudly, "i don't mind as long as your highness can grant my request. "

"Say, as long as I can, I'll grant you your request." Reply Mo Yan still with his expressionless face.

Shen Xue Ying smiled, "i hope that the masters here can bear witness to the promise made by the noble today."

"All right, your highness. I'm willing to cancel our engagement provided that his highness is willing to issue an edict as my marriage agreement and A-wei's bodyguard!"

The hustle and bustle is heard again. The prime minister rubbed his old face with fatigue. He didn't expect his daughter to be so crazy.

"It turns out his words were really serious. " The prime minister muttered with a headband.

Mo Yan flinched. He was quite shocked by Shen Xue Ying's request. If it were to be honest, Mo Yan did not expect that Xue Ying would throw in the royal meeting this time around.

"A-Wei?" Mo Yan said in a sharp glance towards his personal bodyguard.

The personal bodyguard simply lowered his already red face in embarrassment.

"Because of my status and A-Wei being so far away, there would definitely be a lot of obstacles for us if we really wanted to step towards marriage. Therefore, I hope that his majesty can bless him." Shen Xue Ying said as she knelt down.

"Miss Shen, you're not kidding, are you?" Minister Chen and general Luo asked along with a puzzled look towards the prime minister.

The prime minister just shrugged his shoulders. He rubbed his face and turned his eyes in any direction.

"I'm not kidding! I've been in love with the emperor's personal bodyguard ever since he saved me from the assailants in the forest back then!" Shen Xue Ying replied without hesitation.

"Yes Tuhaan.. What else is this?!"

Such was the response of the officials who heard the tweets of the prime minister's frontal daughter. While the prime minister, with a sour face wants to go immediately and dig his own grave.

The old man was so embarrassed!

Mo Yan almost chuckled. But he could still control his face. But not for the bodyguard beside him. A-Wei lowered her head even more. The plain man looked increasingly blushed and misbehaved.

Mo Yan cleared his throat to melt the atmosphere, "Alright! I promise to grant Miss Shen's request. Miss can marry A-Wei whenever she wants."

Shen Xue Ying sumringah's. He immediately thanked and saluted the supreme leadership of the kingdom. He retreats and steals the chance to blink mischievously at A-Wei.

Everyone could only shake their heads. They didn't expect the prime minister's daughter's behavior to be like that. It is good that the woman did not become the royal consort. If she becomes Alorra's number one woman, I don't know what will happen next.

Mo Yan's facial features returned seriously. He said, "All the problems have been resolved, I hope the gentlemen can give me permission for my marriage in a few days."

Doubt still lingered on some of the officials' faces. Instead of allowing it, they speculated again, "We are not here to reject a noble request, only.."

'They still doubted Chu Yao'. Inner Mo Yan was tired.

It was so hard to make Alorra accept the moorings of his heart. Just because of the past, the future in front of the eyes they wanted to reach was so blurry and foggy.

"What if your highness puts Miss Chu as a temporary concubine? After everything is conducive and the decree from Airland has been read, Miss Chu's status will be changed to noble empress." Refer to Minister Chen very carefully.

Mo Yan's jaw suddenly hardened. He clenched his lips and clenched his hands tightly. The young man tried to resist the annoyance caused by the words of Minister Chen who seemed to demean his woman.

Mo Yan muttered, "there is no concubine status in my leadership. I would never put my woman in that status and even to death I would never marry anyone other than her!"

"But your highness.."

BRUCK!!

Mo Yan kneeled down abruptly and made everyone who was there widen their eyes. I can't believe what the Emperor did.

Without hesitation, Mo Yan removed the oversized robe and the jade plaque of the identifying mark of Alorra's royal successor and passed it to A-Wei.

"If the status I have hinders the happiness and desire of the heart, then I will let go without the slightest hesitation.." Mo Yan said with an eye full of seriousness.

"After this war is over, I will abdicate from the throne of the kingdom. And I leave the next leadership to the prime minister like before.. "

"I hope the gentlemen here can accept my decision!"

Mo Yan released all the royal accessories and made a prostration of supplication. His actions made everyone shut up for a moment.

In Alorra's system of government, if an emperor made a prostration a plea meant that he had pressed his pride to the bottom. The officials and all of Alorra were no longer entitled to give a rejection of the decree that the emperor had decreed. In exchange for the forced consent, the emperor would be sentenced to twenty lashes and would have to willingly abdicate without being named in the history of the kingdom.

And Mo Yan's decision to make a prostration plea this time had truly been beyond everyone's premonition.

Mo Yan did not care, he again stood up and left the meeting hall speechless. He does not regret his actions.

For Mo Yan, from the beginning he did not want to be the successor to the throne of Alorra. He just wants to live a quiet and happy life with the people he loves.

"Sir, let me take the place of this punishment!" Said A-Wei who had been standing in front of Mo Yan. He deliberately confronted his master. A-Wei did not want Mo Yan to receive the whip punishment that had been available outside the meeting hall.

A-Wei's nervousness did not also make Mo Yan undo his intentions. He instead tells A-Wei to go to the edge and look at it from a distance.

"YOUR MAJESTY, PLEASE RETHINK YOUR MAJESTY'S DECISION!" Shouted the prime minister who was shoved out of the hall accompanied by all the other palace officials.

Mo Yan did not budge. He opened his upper clothes and walked towards the middle of the field. The two adjutants who had been guarding with whips in each of his hands became a little hesitant and hesitant. They feel discomfort with the situation they are facing.

"Come it!" Mo Yan said solemnly while kneeling in the middle of the field.

The two aides were worried. The call to stop the punishment from the gathering of officials who were outside the door of the hall further made the two men go awry.

They almost overturned the punishment of torture before hearing a loud bang from the emperor Alorra.

"DO IT NOW!!"

the two aides had no choice but to follow orders. They obediently whipped the whip into Mo Yan's athletic body nonstop.

Many times Mo Yan fell down and rose again with blood pouring out behind his back.

Not only A-Wei, everyone present there furrowed their brows. There were even some people who had to throw away faces just because of the disrespect and horror towards Mo Yan's actions that were beyond logic.

Mo Yan spit out fresh blood at the final whip.

A-Wei, as a loyal servant immediately approached the master. The bodyguard limped Mo Yan in limp.

"I have fulfilled the punishment. I hope the gentlemen will be present on my happy day." Mo Yan's smile while bowing his head as a sign of final respect to his loyal officials.

The officials did not bother. They were only petrified while watching the blood-filled back disappear at the end of their vision.

"Do you want me to take you back to the pavilion?" Ask A-Wei with a face full of worry.

"Don't!" Mo Yan replied with a disjointed breath, "i don't want to make him worry even more about my situation. Take me to the royal medical center. Have physician Qin treat me quickly."

A-Wei obeyed the order with a nod of the head. The guard knew who was worried about his current employer. He doesn't want to comment much. His master's struggle is not a playful thing. A-Wei hopes that the person she already considers like her biological brother will get the happiness she expects.
