But now, she had simply met a man she liked, so why was the Empress so angry?
"Mother, Mingwei has saved my life multiple times. Without him, I would have died countless times already. Why can't I marry him?"
Empress Su threw a fit, but her anger slightly subsided. As she sat in her chair, supporting her head, her expression softened a bit upon hearing her daughter's words and she said, "You want to marry him just because he saved your life? That's easy. As a subject, he should save you or even die for you. But since my daughter is kind-hearted and wants to repay him, there are many other ways to do so. I'll go to your father and get that Mingwei a promotion and reward him with gold and jewels. Now, can you be at ease?"
At ease? Not at all!
Cui Wei was taken aback by Empress Su's words. She wanted to marry Mingwei not because he saved her, but because she genuinely liked him and felt happy with him!
"Mother, I truly like him. Please, let me marry him!"
