I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

Originally, the day would pass just as Yang Liu had expected, but there are always unexpected moments.

"The envoy from Wei State is here to give advice--" a palace maid called out, and the court fell into a rare silence.

Unlike usual times, the envoys coming today have only one purpose - to marry a princess!

By the time the news reached Yang Liu's ears, it was already afternoon.

"Marriage?!"

Yang Liu paced back and forth. It had only been a year, so why was the marriage going to happen? Wasn't this supposed to happen three years later?

"Is it the butterfly effect? ​​Did I affect the plot? But I didn't change any major plot points..." Yang Liu frowned, feeling uneasy and a little uncomfortable.

"Did the envoy say which princess he wanted to marry?" Then, Yang Liu pulled the palace servant who delivered the message to her side and asked seriously.

"Replying to the Second Princess, I haven't heard of this. They only said that they would find a suitable princess consort for the prince of another country at the banquet." The palace servant responded with a low head.

In fact, it was useless to ask this question. Yang Liu knew clearly that the only princesses of marriageable age were the eldest princess, her and her younger sister Liu Jinyuan. The eldest princess was already married, so this matter naturally fell on her.

The Wei State was even more of a friendly federation, so they would definitely not choose the daughter of an abandoned concubine to marry. Unless the other party had a specific candidate in mind, the choice would inevitably fall on her. She would be sent away before the job was done, and who wouldn't be anxious?

Yang Liu was so confused that he felt overwhelmed.

At night, Emperor Liu Yuanjing arranged a welcoming banquet for the envoys. Important court officials and envoys sat on each side. Yang Liu felt sleepy from all the flattering words and face-saving speeches. During the banquet, Yang Liu only made eye contact with one person. Then, Yang Liu stood up and made an excuse to leave. Soon, that person followed closely behind.

In the small garden, the people who had accompanied them were still looking around, trying to find Yang Liu. At this time, Yang Liu quietly peeked out from behind, looked at the person for a while, and made some noise to attract attention after making sure that the person had no intention of killing her.

After hearing that, the man turned around and walked into the rockery. For a moment, the two looked at each other and the atmosphere around them gradually became tense. Yang Liu was about to become impatient when she heard the man speak.

"I'm your uncle, the youngest in the family, and your younger uncle."

"so what?"

The man's voice was slightly paused and low, with a stiffness that failed as he tried to disguise his gentleness. His jaw was clenched tightly, and there was no expression in his eyes other than coldness.

"The time is almost up. The tribe has arranged for me to come pick you up. I hope you will not refuse this marriage."

Yang Liu was silent for a while. Why was this man like a machine? His attitude was so stiff. Although he looked young, he looked like an old piece of wood.

"Uh... isn't there still a year left? How come it's brought forward?"

"In order to prevent any unexpected events, the head of the family decided to prepare in advance to ensure that nothing could go wrong."

"All right."

Yang Liu was the first to agree. It was almost time. If Yang Liu continued to waste time with him like this, she would not be able to wash herself clean even if people saw her jumping into the Yellow River. So she had no choice but to agree. Then Yang Liu used the excuse of leaving the banquet and returning to the palace, while her so-called cheap uncle returned to the banquet.

Liu Jinyuan was left "nodding and nodding" at the banquet. When he saw that Yang Liu still hadn't come back, he found an excuse to leave early.

As a result, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Yang Liu pacing back and forth in the room, looking uneasy and bored. Liu Jinyuan felt dizzy and couldn't help but stepped forward to hold her down, rubbing his swollen and painful forehead and said helplessly.

"Why is my sister so restless after coming back from the party?"

Yang Liu was instantly deflated, and leaned on the table with her chin in her hand, "Jin Yuan, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? One of us has to go to marry, so why shouldn't I be anxious?"

"...So it's a marriage of peace?" Liu Jinyuan also moved a stool and sat down. He did the same thing as Yang Liu and spoke slowly, as if he was thinking.

Indeed, how could this sudden incident not disrupt their plans? However, it was also an opportunity. As long as they left the palace and found a way to leave...

Liu Jinyuan thought about it while glancing at Yang Liu. Her thoughts turned over and over again, and then she spoke seriously, "Sister, if you don't want to marry, then let me go. No one can tell us apart anyway, and we have exchanged identities for so many years, so it is absolutely foolproof. Sister is someone who wants to do great things, so this time, let me take your place."

Yang Liu was in tears, how could it be that simple? The people who came this time were obviously here to guard her, and no mistake would be allowed. How could her uncle, who was sent by the clan, let her run away?

However, what Liu Jinyuan said is a good idea. It would be best if she escapes again, and then the people I arrange will pick her up, and the rest will be done in one go!

But how can I avoid my uncle?

Deep down, Yang Liu narrowed her eyes.

On the surface, she still looked worried.

"Let's talk about it later. I don't want you to sacrifice. Marrying a foreign prince will definitely be like walking on thin ice. I don't want you to suffer." Yang Liu leaned over and hugged Liu Jinyuan in his arms, with a look of reluctance.

Yang Liu's three daily tricks moved Liu Jinyuan so much that she pretended to be reluctant to leave while thinking about how to send the person away and escape the eyes of her cheap uncle, so she couldn't sleep all night.

When the two woke up, the emperor had already issued an edict to select the marriage candidate. Yang Liu looked at the golden edict and exchanged a glance with Liu Jinyuan in silence. Then, she took the edict and turned back to Jiyue Palace instead of returning to Liu Jinyuan's residence.

"Sister, can't you really let me go?" Liu Jinyuan quickly followed and asked in a low voice.

Yang Liu just shook his head with a serious face and did not respond to Liu Jinyuan's words.

Liu Jinyuan looked at Yang Liu's departing back, and for a moment she was in a trance. Why did she feel that she was about to have no relatives? Was her sister going to leave her too?

That night, Liu Jinyuan sat in the room, with a confused and lost look in her eyes. She was full of thoughts and her handkerchief was wrinkled.

Does her sister really want to leave her alone in the palace?

Will my sister think the same as her?

After leaving the palace, he looked for an opportunity to escape, then built up his own power and waited for the right opportunity to act.

But what if my sister didn't expect it? Or didn't want to escape for the sake of the people and the country?

No! You can't!

For several days, the two of them hardly met each other. Occasionally, Yang Liu came to have a meal with Liu Jinyuan and then left, and she also brought a lot of good things.

More than half a month passed, and it was the day before Yang Liu's departure. As the sun was about to set, Liu Jinyuan suddenly stood up and called Xiaotao.

"Xiao Tao! Go get my wine jug. I want to go have a few drinks with my sister. Tomorrow is the day she leaves, and I don't want to have any regrets."

Liu Jinyuan stroked the jade ring on her index finger. It was made according to her measurements by Yang Liu. It was a birthday gift for her fifteenth birthday. Liu Chaoyuan's name was engraved on it as she requested.

"Yes, princess, slave, go right now!"
