"You don't know yet, do you?"
Cao Ying was furious. "I have no idea what that Zhou Junlin and Consort Qi told the Holy Emperor, but he's decided to uphold the marriage contract between you and Zhou Junlin! That means the day after tomorrow, you'll still be married off to him! As for Prince Qing, he's just supposed to marry Song Xilan! Since you're both 'Miss Song,' no one can say anything!"
"How can that be?" Song Lianhe asked in disbelief. "Didn't the Holy Emperor already issue an edict? How can he go back on his word like this?!"
"County Princess, please watch what you say," Lady Cao hastily corrected her. "How could the Holy Emperor be at fault? It's just... the imperial edict never actually specified *which* Miss Song."
As the Imperial Censor, Mr. Cao's duties involved receiving official memorials, filing impeachments, and drafting court documents. He had noticed the peculiarity in the imperial edict long ago.
