The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

Yun'an only knew that the Shu family and the Bai family had always been at odds. Before, she thought that the two families were just having conflicts in the court due to different political views. After the death of Shu's father and brother, Shu Huaiyuan grew up in an environment lacking family affection and had a bit of an arrogant personality, so he ignored her.

But according to Hall Master Wei, the death of Shu Huaiyuan's father and brother was not an ordinary death on the battlefield, but the result of careful planning by his grandfather.

Yun An really hoped that his grandfather would deny this, but Bai Feng’s reaction made Yun An give up.

"Indeed, if the father and brother of the Bai family were still alive, the emperor would not rely on our Bai family so much. Now, considering the military strength, even if the emperor wants to take action against our Bai family, I am afraid he will have to think carefully."

"Wei has said a lot today. But they are all from the bottom of my heart. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope General Bai will not take it to heart."

Hall Master Wei stood up and said goodbye to Bai Feng.

Yun An guessed that Master Wei was about to leave, so she prepared to slip away early, but she saw her father Bai Mo walking towards the study from afar.

Yun An had no way to escape, so he could only take advantage of the moment when Hall Master Wei opened the study door to quickly open the door of the library next to the study and hide inside.

In the dark library, it was almost pitch dark.

Yun An quickly closed the door and was about to turn around and find a place to sit down and rest for a while when someone covered his mouth.

She was eavesdropping on her grandfather's conversation with someone. She couldn't make any sound to begin with, and after someone covered her mouth, she couldn't make any sound at all.

"be honest."

A man's deep voice sounded in his ears.

This man must have used some voice-changing technique. His voice sounded a little strange, something Yun An had never heard before.

Yun An did not struggle at all. He followed the man's request and remained motionless and silent.

She completely gave up resisting, and the strength in the man's hands gradually eased.

After gradually adapting to the dark environment, Yun An looked down and could see the cuffs of the man's black nightgown who was covering her mouth.

The man pressed his thumb on the tip of Yun An's nose, and his big hands controlled his mouth and nose at the same time. Yun An couldn't open his mouth, but could barely breathe through his fingers.

Yun An could faintly smell a faint herbal scent, a very special fragrance with a bitter taste.

Yun An slowly closed her left eye, opened it, and then slowly closed her right eye. By closing only one eye in this way, she finally saw the rough outline of the man's thumb.

There was a blurry little black dot not far from the man's thumb nail. It was too close to Yun An's eyes, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see it clearly. But Yun An guessed that it should be a mole.

Bai Mo's voice soon came from the side.

"Father, how was your conversation with the people from the Flying Eagle Gate?"

"This Feiying Sect is indeed the best sect in the world."

"It has only been a dozen years since the establishment of Feiyingmen. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is the best sect in the world."

Bai Mo doesn't seem to have a very high opinion of Feiyingmen.

"In this palace and in this martial world, there is no one and no thing that the Flying Eagle Sect doesn't know about." Bai Feng sighed deeply. The plot to kill Shu Huaiyuan's father and brother was an old story. This happened before the Flying Eagle Sect was established, but today, Hall Master Wei spoke out this secret easily as if it was a casual remark.

"Rumors are often exaggerated and may not be credible. Father, there is no need to be so cautious."

"He knows that Shu Polu's death was planned by you and me."

When these words came out, Bai Mo was stunned.

At that time, the princes were fighting for the throne, the court was in chaos, and various forces were competing secretly. In order to gain more military power, he joined forces with Nu Dahai of Qiangyi, and under the name of Batu, he summoned Shu Polu and his eldest son Shu Zhixing, and ambushed them to death when they were unprepared.

He originally wanted to make the Shu family bear the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy, but Nu Dahai was afraid that the matter would get too big and could not be resolved in the end, so he was unwilling to cooperate. Therefore, Bai Mo had to end the matter by "dying on the battlefield."

"If we had been able to punish him for treason and wipe out the Shu family, we wouldn't have Shu Huaiyuan, a serious threat, now."

Bai Feng slammed the table and began to pace around the room.

"Father, don't worry. Shu Huaiyuan has been imprisoned and the guards are all our people. It only takes you one order to kill him."

"Now is not a good time to take action." Bai Feng sighed, "I never expected that Concubine De would return to the palace at this time. She has a close relationship with the Shu family. If Shu Huaiyuan dies at this time, she and the third prince will definitely not let it go. Forget it, there is still a long way to go."

The white front has struck again.

Seeing his painful expression, Bai Mo reached out and started massaging his father.

"Father, I have something I want to ask you for advice on."

"explain."

"It's about Yun'an. She..."

"We are a family, don't be so hesitant when talking."

Bai Feng couldn't stand his son's timid behavior.

With Bai Feng speaking up, Bai Mo quickly told Bai Feng that he had previously mistakenly thought Yun An liked Gu Nianzhi, but today he discovered that Yun An liked Shu Huaiyuan.

"You love Yun'an the most. As a father, I am not sure how to deal with this matter, so..."

"If Shu Huaiyuan wasn't the son of the Shu family, with his ability, it would be great for our Bai family to be Yun'an's son-in-law. What a pity."

"Yun'an is not young anymore. If I don't find a husband for her, given her temper, I'm afraid she and Shu Huaiyuan will make a fool of themselves..."

Bai Feng was silent for a moment.

"As for Yun'an's husband, I have a very suitable candidate - the Second Prince."

"Second Prince?"

Not only Bai Mo couldn't believe it, but Yun An, who was being held hostage in the library, also couldn't believe it at all.

"Father, Yun An and her cousin, the second prince, have always disliked each other. If they were to get married, how could they live in harmony for the rest of their lives?"

"Why are you so confused?"

Bai Feng felt that his son was extremely stupid.

"Although the Second Prince has always relied on our Bai family, he is not Xian'er's biological son after all. Today, Feiyingmen has learned the truth about the deaths of Shu Polu and Shu Zhixing more than ten years ago. There is no guarantee that they will not find out that Concubine Cao died because of 'killing her mother and taking her son'."

"Apart from you and me, no one who knows about this is alive now. Father can rest assured."

"How can we be assured? The Second Prince is no longer as easy to control as before. If he ascends the throne, our Bai family may not be more prosperous than it is now."

"So father, do you mean to let Yun An marry the second prince and become the queen?"

"The emperor is now in his prime, and he will not pass away anytime soon. The second prince still has some time to ascend the throne. During this period, as long as Yun An gives birth to a son, I will make this child with the blood of the Bai family the emperor in the future, and the second prince is just a stepping stone."

Through the thin wall, Yun An heard all the words clearly.

In the end, she became a pawn in the battle for imperial power.

No one cares who she likes or who she hates.

She has only one mission, which is to give birth to a child with the future crown prince. When the crown prince becomes a prince, she will let that child become the new crown prince. Then her husband will be eliminated by her grandfather and father, and the child with half Bai family blood will become the new king of this country.

Yun An understood.

She just didn't want to understand.

She thought that as long as she always appeared in front of her father and grandfather with a silly and innocent expression, they would always treat her as a child and would never let her get involved in those dirty areas.

But she was wrong.

Thank you for grandpa's love for so many years. One day I will work for the Bai family.

She knew that from this moment on, she would completely bid farewell to her innocent girlhood. Whether she was willing or not, she had been dragged into a huge chess game, and she had no say in where she would rise and fall.
