Chu Yi broke out in a sweat when he heard this, and he started to feel worried.
If the Empress rejected his request immediately, he would have zero hope for this.
She was but a young girl and there was actually no need for him to take this so seriously.
However, he just could not let this go.
Amid his anxiety, he blurted accidentally, "But I just… offended Zhu Yu. I'd like to take responsibility for her."
The moment he said this, even the silent Long Yang, who was reading in his seat, turned to look at Chu Yi incredulously.
Lu Liangwei was slightly shocked as well.
She paused for a moment as her gaze turned to the palm print on Chu Yi's face. She seemed to understand something.
So, that was what had happened.
No wonder Chu Yi came asking for Zhu Yu's hand in marriage.
If it was during modern times, it meant nothing much to be kissed, but these were olden times. Once a girl was kissed, it represented intimate touch.
