Chapter 2028: The Wolf King 23

He did not understand just how beautiful that girl was to make his son, who had always been a respectful child, go to such an extent!

Murong Qing pursed his lips. “Father, I just don’t want to force her to do something she doesn’t like to do.”

“You…” The emperor was shocked. He slammed the table and said, “Qing’er, you’ve grown up, and you should get married. We’ll find a suitable girl for you, and we’ll prepare the wedding.”

“Father!”

Murong Qing’s face turned pale, looking at the emperor with disbelief in his eyes.

The emperor frowned. “You are a prince. I have never asked you to marry any officer’s daughter, but that girl must at least be a good woman who can help you, not destroy your life. Do you understand?”

He was already considered a very enlightened father, never forcing him to marry prestigious families’ daughters.

After all, even the girls from those families were not all very good.

Murong Qing had suffered from his illness for years and had never gone out or communicated with people outside.

The emperor would fulfill all his wishes because he wanted his son to be happy.

But…

That girl had brought a bad influence to Qing’er, and if this continued, his life would be destroyed by her.

He could not accept such a girl in the imperial family.

Not even as a secondary consort.

However, it would take some time to make Murong Qing drive away that girl.

On top of that, he could not force him to do so.

Therefore, he must set someone up with Murong Qing, and then someone would naturally teach that girl a lesson.

“Father!!!” Murong Qing’s face turned paler, and he suddenly laughed helplessly. “Now that Mother is no longer with us, you want to force me to get married?”

The emperor’s face sank as soon as he heard Murong Qing mention the late empress. “How dare you! How dare you threaten me with your mother’s name for that woman?”

This was something he could never tolerate.

Even if he loved Murong Qing more, the most important person in his heart was still the late empress.

He could not tolerate Murong Qing being so unfilial, threatening him with the late empress’s name!

Murong Qing sneered and said, “Father has forgotten that Mother once said that my marriage must be decided by myself, and this is the promise you gave her before she left.”

The emperor usually arranged the marriages of the imperial family’s members.

However, his mother was afraid that his father would abandon him and forget the oath he had made after her death.

Therefore, she had forced his father to promise her.

Hearing that, the emperor was stunned. The angry look on his face gradually disappeared, and he fell silent.

‘Murong Qing is right. I’ve promised the empress not to meddle in his marriage…

‘And I can’t force him to marry a girl he does not love.’

“It seems that I am getting old…” The emperor looked at Murong Qing. “You aren’t listening to me anymore because of that girl…”

“Father, I only want to find my happiness.”

“I did promise the late empress that I would never force you in your marriage. In that case, I want you to pick someone as a secondary consort. After all, secondary concort is only a concubine, not a wife, and it doesn’t count as forcing you to take a wife.”

“Father!”

Murong Qing was shocked. His face darkened as he clenched his fists tightly, trembling…
