My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

The imperial palace of Changguo was not the largest among all the countries, but it was undoubtedly the most imposing.

Black walls, black marble floor tiles with gold seams, black dragon chairs with purple and dark red dragon patterns carved on them...

On the black candlesticks, the candle flames, as thick as a baby's arm, illuminated the Xuanwu Hall as bright as day.

The dark tone gives people an invisible psychological pressure.

Yan Ruobing, wearing a dark dragon robe embroidered with purple dragon patterns, took her seat with the queen.

Princess Wan was sitting just below his left, while Concubine Cheng and Concubine Ru were sitting on his right.

On the next step, King Kang and King Chu sat next to each other, facing Cui Hongjing.

The rest of the people all took seats in the hall.

After a few rounds of drinks, the hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.

However, Princess Wan just sat there quietly, with no expression on her face. When someone toasted her or talked to her, she just nodded slightly without any expression, and didn't say anything or drink.

Yan Ruobing glanced at Princess Wan, her already dark eyes darkened even more, and she immediately concealed her anger and helplessness, joining in the fun with everyone else.

If the envoy from the Zhenguo Kingdom had not been here, he would have issued an order to cancel the palace banquet in the afternoon.

Damn palace banquet!

"From the day you sent me to Jin Country, I am no longer your sister, nor the Princess of Chang Country!"

"Who am I? A sacrifice for you to consolidate your imperial power? What does it have to do with me when Changguo suffers from natural disasters and has no food? Why do you want to use me to exchange for food? I am a person with seven emotions and six desires! I am not an object that my father can give away... Don't tell me about the responsibilities of a princess. I am just an ordinary woman, not that noble!"

"We are from the same mother. Yes, now that my mother is gone, you are my closest person, the one I can rely on the most. You know when I heard that my father was going to give me to the Emperor of Zhen, all my hopes were on you. But, as the crown prince at that time, did you speak for me in front of my father? Not only did you not object, you also sent me to Zhen and handed me over to that man personally... He ruined me! You know, he ruined my life!"

"That day when you left the capital of Zhen Kingdom, I stood on the city wall and watched you. You know how much I hoped you would turn back, take me with you, take me home, but you didn't. Do you know how desperate I was at that time? I wanted to jump off the city wall..."

"Perhaps you only remember the brotherly love you had with me when I was in Changguo. However, I only remember your resolute departure that day, and the moments I spent in the dark in the Zhenguo Palace."

"You think you have done a lot for me, even giving up conquering the enemy country? Haha, do you think I will be grateful? You are wrong, I will only hate you more, hate your hypocrisy, you are just a fake gentleman. All this you do is just to show the world, to make the world think you are such a kind and righteous king. And I am just your tool, I was before and I am still now! Isn't it? Haven't you done enough of this kind of thing? Twenty years ago, that woman with a peerless face in the Wuchen Palace, wasn't she your tool..."

"Go home? Haha... these two words once made me feel that there was still a glimmer of hope... but now, is this still my home? No, this is not my home, there are no relatives here. I have no home anymore, no!"

"You mean Prince Jing? Haha... He is my only relative now. You know, in those days when life was worse than death, only he and his mother were with me. She is like a candle that illuminates my dark world, although it is weak, it is the only light. Sister Jing is the only reason that allows me to live. For her, I can do everything, even if... Sister Jing is gone, she is dead... But she still has a son, and her son is my son..."

"I warn you, if Prince Jing cannot return to the Kingdom of Zhen safely, I will kill you... unless you kill me first..."

"Yes, Cui Hongxiao is my son, but that was a mistake! He shouldn't have come into this world. It's just that he was lucky. After I got pregnant with him, no matter how hard I tried, he didn't fall out. He shouldn't have existed in this world. He is the biggest shame of my life! The only son I gave birth to is the shame of my life, haha... Don't you think it's ridiculous?... No, he is not my son, not..."

……

As they drank and chatted, Yan Ruobing's mind was filled with Princess Wan's hysterical and crazy accusations against him before the palace banquet.

He could never have imagined that his biological sister, whom he had longed for for twenty years, had hated him to the core since the day he abandoned her and left the capital of Zhenguo twenty years ago.

He was struck by lightning and looked dazed.

Where is the innocent and lovely sister from before? Where did she go?

He still remembered that when Princess Wan was a child, she loved to pester him and ask him to take her out to play secretly.

Every time she came back, she would act coquettishly and cry out for being tired, pestering him to carry her back to the palace. He would carry her, and she would apply the candy on her hands to his back, or spit out her saliva all over him.

Every time he was caught sneaking out of the palace, the mother was reluctant to beat his sister, so she only beat him. His sister would stretch her chubby arms in front of him and say, "Mother, it was Wan'er who forced my brother to sneak out of the palace to play. If you want to punish me, just punish Wan'er."

……

After the death of his mother, on the cold and lonely road to power, the brother-sister relationship with Princess Wan was the only white moonlight in his heart, the last piece of pure land, and also the most tender pain in his heart.

But all this was shattered in an instant.

All gone.

No, it didn't disappear.

He thought that the white moonlight was still waiting for him ahead, but when he got closer, he found that it was just his wishful thinking.

Where did my sister from the past go?

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.

The moment he came out of Princess Wan's bedroom, he even had an idea: after the envoy from the Zhenguo left, he would make her disappear forever.

But in the end, his clenched fists gradually loosened.

"You are the brother, you must take good care of your sister and keep her safe throughout her life. You must not let her marry far away and find a good prince consort for her so that she can live a happy life. You are the prince of Dachang and you may ascend to the throne in the future. You must be able to protect her, right?" This was the last sentence his mother said to him before she passed away. After that, his mother held the brother and sister's hands and closed her eyes.

Today, the younger sister has become crazy and paranoid, and she must have made Cui Qimo suffer over the years. However, Cui Qimo still appointed her as a noble concubine because of her status.

At this moment, seeing Princess Wan's cold appearance at the palace banquet, he felt a little suffocated.

"You keep an eye on it for me. I'm going out to get some fresh air."
