At that moment, an elderly-looking man stepped forward. "Your Majesty, this old servant has a question. I'm not sure whether I should ask."
Undying Yu Shan smiled. "You may speak freely in court."
"Long ago, the Purple Mountain Clan was promised a marriage alliance with the royal family. Does that agreement still stand?" the man asked loudly.
Everyone looked up at Undying Yu Shan.
At that moment, even several Imperial Court Thirteenth Team captains and Duke Yu Shan, who had seemed distracted, turned to look at Undying Yu Shan.
Undying Yu Shan narrowed his eyes. It was a difficult question to answer. If he denied the agreement, the royal family would lose face. If he acknowledged it, he couldn't follow through. There was only one unmarried princess in the royal family: Fifth Princess Wendy Yu Shan, the youngest princess, who was not yet thirty.
No one could decide Wendy Yu Shan's marriage for her. She was no ordinary princess. She had studied under Ten Thousand Swords Mountain in the Inner Universe. Even more frightening, she was ranked in the top twenty of the Star War Ranking, one of the few super-strong figures in the Outer Universe capable of reaching the top ranks. She was the pride of Canglan Territory and the Outer Universe, and was known as the second Undying Yu Shan.
In terms of status, no one in the Outer Universe—not even Undying Yu Shan—could compare with Wendy Yu Shan now. And deciding her marriage was even more out of the question. It wasn't that he was unwilling; he simply lacked the power.
Undying Yu Shan suddenly broke into a fit of violent coughing. Several medical staff rushed forward and injected him with medicine. Before long, the coughing eased considerably. "Give the order: suspend court until Lu Yin arrives."
