Seeing this man's inappropriate behavior, Xu An tried his best to avoid suspicion and stood up, looking unhappy, "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

"Since Lord Mu An has promised us a marriage in public, I am considered the future husband of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Why should I respect myself?"

As he spoke, Asu Yuyi stood up. For a moment, the height difference was quite obvious, and Xu An could only look up and look at him.

"There is neither a marriage certificate nor an imperial decree between us. It was just a joke from His Majesty. I can ask for an imperial decree to take it back. Besides, regarding the marriage, the Second Prince and my Princess Mu An are already engaged. Even if the First Prince does not marry me, it will not affect the affairs of the two countries."

"Moreover, as the eldest son, Your Highness shoulders heavy responsibilities and will surely inherit the king's high hopes in the future. If you marry me, Mu An, Your Highness will suffer a great loss." Xu An stretched out his hand to distance himself and said repeatedly.

Even so, the man remained calm, still smiling gently, looking very elegant.

He reached out and picked off the leaf residue on Xu An's other side, then leaned over and slowly approached, "This is what I want you to consider."

"Once Lord Mu'an has spoken, how can we take it back? The marriage certificate is a matter of time. When my Western Regions envoys send a large sum of money and spiritual tools to Mu'an, the marriage can be finalized. However, you can only choose one between me and my third brother. I will be the king of the Western Regions, and you will be the most honorable queen in the Western Regions. I can accept the princes of Mu'an as your lovers, but my third brother cannot. So, Your Highness, what do you think?"

Xu An frowned, he really couldn't understand what was going on in this man's mind. Even after things came to this, he could still accept other people as his mistress?

However, "I am not interested in the position of queen, nor do I have any intentions towards Your Highness. Please do not cross the line." She took a step back, raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and was polite in her words and actions.

If she was not polite, she would have punched him.

How dare this man take the handsome man I like as his lover? They are not even on the same level.

Xu An forced a smile. She had reason to suspect that the princes from the Western Regions were all a little abnormal. First, Asu Pei Ye had a split personality, and then Asu Yuyi made an inexplicable confession.

Is she familiar with him? They only met once in the palace and asked for marriage that day, but now she is pestering him. There is no love between them.

Seeing her like this, Asu Yuyi smiled meaningfully, and after a moment of silence, he calmly replied: "Then Your Highness can consider another thing. I am willing to marry into Mu An's family and become your consort. I don't want the throne. When we have a son, the throne will belong to the child. In this way, Your Highness will not only have the power of the Western Regions in your hands, but also control Mu An's world."

Xu An: "..."

If this man were placed in the ancient times, he would definitely be a scheming ruler. He keeps talking about the throne, but in the end, he cares more about real power.

However, it would be strange if he didn't care about real power. After all, he is the eldest son, has great spiritual power and has conquered many places. Although he is a little unreasonable in love, he should be good at governing the country, otherwise he would not be so loved.

"Your Highness, don't you know that you can't have your cake and eat it too? I won't beat around the bush. I don't like you. I have someone I like. I can't let my man suffer by being a concubine, let alone marrying you. If you inherit the throne, you must be a good king who works hard and loves the people. You should choose a good wife instead of a woman like me who just wants to be free and unrestrained."

Xu An said it directly and bluntly. She hated wasting time on this kind of drama the most, as it caused misunderstandings and wasted time.

After saying this, she was about to leave. These princes were not people to be trifled with.

"The princess is right. You can't have both fish and that thing. How about this? I will cultivate my relationship with the princess after I come back to reinforce her. If the princess still doesn't like me, I won't bother her anymore."

Before Xu An opened his mouth to respond, Asu Yuyi waved his hand and a leaf fell into his palm. As the spiritual power dissipated, he gently pressed the leaf into the woman's hand and said, "Thank you for healing me that day."

After he finished speaking, the man took a few steps and disappeared from sight. Xu An raised her hand and saw that the fallen leaf had turned into a golden leaf. The thick material made her eyes light up.

This love of money cannot be changed...

It has been strange these past few days. Aunt Lan delivers the medicine prescribed by Qi Shichuan every day, but Xu An has not seen Qi Shichuan. There is no one in the Pharmacy. Is this bad luck or is it intentional?

This is strange, where has Asu Pei Ye gone these days?

Xu An sipped his tea boredly. Fortunately, Aunt Lan was there and he could often gossip about past stories from her.

"Auntie Lan, last time you said that the queen had not yet been buried, does that mean that the king really has a way to bring the queen back to life?"

"According to ancient records, when the red spider lily crystal grows to six petals, its power can be used to bring people back to life, but the crystal has been broken, and Your Highness has not yet found a way to grow petals."

Aunt Lan was sewing the clothes in her hands stitch by stitch, with a worried look on her face.

Xu An was swinging his feet leisurely, supporting his chin with his hand, as if thinking about something.

She remembered Asu Pei Ye said that he would use her blood to sacrifice the crystal, use her heart's blood to resurrect his mother, and also said that he would draw her spiritual power.

Thinking about this, Xu An swallowed her saliva. Could this man have always been thinking about her blood? !

I remember that my blood did make the crystal grow a petal. Could it be that... in order for the crystal to grow completely, my heart's blood must be used? Then I'm done for!

"Aunt Lan, is there any other way besides using the red spider lily crystal?" Thinking of that, Xu An couldn't help but tremble.

"A way to bring the dead back to life... I remember that the power of the goddess can bring people back to life, and there is also the power of the world-stealing ice crystal. These three can destroy the world and revive all things, but they all require sacrifice."

All require sacrifices?! What sacrifices should be made?

"Then...what kind of sacrifice is used?" Xu An asked weakly, cold sweat unconsciously breaking out on his palms.

Auntie Lan paused, a little lost in thought. "The Higanbana crystal stone needs the blood of a specific person to create a sacrificial vessel before it can be sacrificed, and the sacrifice is that person's heart blood. If the goddess wants to revive all things, she must sacrifice her own life. The World-Seizing Ice Crystal also needs a chosen person as a vessel to sign a contract, and the sacrifice is that person's seven souls and six spirits."

……

Isn't this all about my life?!

Xu An froze in place, her mind buzzing. What kind of bad luck had she gotten into? How come all of this was related to her? !

The red spider lily crystal, she can make it grow, the blood she sacrificed must be her own, the goddess sacrificed, that's even more so, she used her life to revive all things, and the world-stealing ice crystal, her blood can repair the ice crystal, so isn't she the chosen one? ! What she sacrificed was her own seven souls and six spirits!

Oh my God! Isn't this just another way to kill me?

If anyone with bad intentions knew my identity, I would be finished. No! I have to keep a low profile.

No wonder Asu Pei Ye is trying to curry favor with me now, he must still have evil intentions. I have to run away first, otherwise if his father knows my identity, I will die even more completely.
