After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

This sudden "proposal" caught Jiang Yulian off guard. She pointed at herself, looking confused: "Me? And you?"

Then, she laughed out loud as if she had heard something funny. "How is that possible! Who would be willing to marry you? You can find anyone you want, but not me!"

Although her tone was firm, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks and her eyes were a little evasive.

Yan Yunfei raised his eyebrows with an expression that said "I knew it".

"I'm not marrying you because I'm attracted to you," he shrugged, his tone relaxed. "We'll just live our own lives after marriage. It's just a marriage certificate, right? You don't dare anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yulian straightened her back as if enraged. She retorted, "I, I, I... I'm afraid of anything! But why are you so casual about Prince Yan's marriage? Have you asked your parents? I haven't asked mine either. Maybe both of our parents would object!"

She spoke in a hurried tone, but her eyes unconsciously glanced at Yan Yunfei.

Yan Yunfei raised his eyebrows, his tone boasting a bit: "My parents said that marriage is entirely up to me. I can marry whoever I want."

Jiang Yulian was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Yan Yunfei's face.

When their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat and a blush appeared on her cheeks, like the colorful clouds in the evening.

Yan Yunfei's eyes were deep, with a hint of amusement.

Xie Mishuang looked at the undercurrent between the two of them and coughed lightly at an inopportune moment, breaking the delicate atmosphere: "Then I won't disturb Prince Yan and Sister Yu Lian from their love affair."

Her eyes moved with a mischievous smile, as if she knew everything.

Jiang Yulian's blush deepened. She waved her hands hurriedly, avoiding her gaze: "Shuang'er, what are you talking about? I didn't... wait, I'll take you there!" She spoke in a hurried tone, pulling Xie Mishuang out as if escaping.

Xie Mishuang had a triumphant smile on his face as he let Jiang Yulian pull him away from the Inspection Office.

After leaving the Inspection Office, Xie Mishuang said to Qinghe, "Let's go to Shen's Restaurant. It's our property now, and we'll stay there today." Her tone was calm, but with unquestionable determination.

Qing He asked worriedly, "What about the Emperor? He will definitely send someone to look for you."

Xie Mishuang smiled faintly: "Just come and find me. Since he already knows who I am, he won't force me to go back and be his concubine." There was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she was ready to face everything.

At Shen's Restaurant, as soon as Xie Mishuang stepped into the restaurant, he saw an elegant and noble man sitting in the middle of the hall. It was Xuanyuan Yu.

He was dressed in brocade and had an extraordinary demeanor, as if he was out of place in this noisy restaurant.

Xuanyuan Yu turned around and saw Xie Mishuang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Madam Shufei? Why are you here?"

There was a hint of doubt in his tone, but he seemed to have expected to see her here.

Xie Mishuang made no secret of his identity and said bluntly, "You ask even though you know the answer."

She thought to herself that this person probably knew her true identity a long time ago, but just didn't expose it that day.

Xuanyuan Yu smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Empress Shufei, you left the palace to do your business and didn't return. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's punishment?"

Xie Mishuang raised his eyebrows and said something shocking: "How about I go with you to the Xuanyuan Empire, then he can't punish me."

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes lit up, his surprise evident in his expression: "What do you mean by that? Do you already know your own identity?"

Xie Mishuang admitted frankly: "Of course I know, but I also have conditions for going back with you."

Xuanyuan Yu quickly stood up and said in an urgent tone: "Tell me, tell me, what does your sister want? As your brother, I will definitely do it for you, as long as you are willing to go back!"

Xie Mishuang smiled sweetly, but her tone was firm: "Then I will be frank, brother, I will go back with you, I want that supreme position."

Xuanyuan Yu was stunned and the teacup in his hand almost slipped.

He calmed himself down and stared at Xie Mishuang sharply: "You mean... you want to compete for the throne?"

Xie Mishuang met his gaze without hesitation and asked, "Why else are you so anxious to find me back, brother?"

Xuanyuan Yu was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "What else do you know?"

Xie Mishuang's lips curled up in a confident arc. "You, my eldest brother, and my second brother are not my father's biological children, and I am his only bloodline. But now the regent's son has monopolized power in the court and intends to rebel. He is using your lack of royal blood to force my father to appoint him as the crown prince. Therefore, my father pretended to be ill and delayed time so that you could come here to find me. Am I right?"

Xuanyuan Yu was shocked. He stood up suddenly and looked at Xie Mishuang in disbelief: "My God! How do you know everything?"

Xie Mishuang smiled calmly: "I have my own channels to know. Ever since I knew that my father was Emperor Xuanyuan, I asked people in Xuanyuan Imperial City to inquire about him, just in case." Her tone was calm, but with the confidence of a master strategist.

Xuanyuan Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner shock.

Before he came to Kangguo, his father did send him a secret letter telling him the true identity of Xie Mishuang and asked him to bring her back.

But he never expected that this seemingly weak woman actually knew the situation of the Xuanyuan Empire very well.

He sat down again, his tone solemn: "That position must belong to you. But you are a woman, and becoming emperor is not an easy thing."

Xie Mi's eyes were firm. "I know it's not easy, so I just need you and the other brothers to help me. As the saying goes, sincerity can move mountains. You also said that that position should have belonged to me."

Xuanyuan Yu looked at the confident woman in front of him and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

He originally thought that it would take a lot of persuasion to convince her to go back, and he was even more worried that she would be trapped in love and unwilling to take on heavy responsibilities.

I didn't expect her to be so decisive and ambitious.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Then you don't miss Ouyang Jing at all, or this place?"

A complex emotion flashed across Xie Mi's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "He's the emperor, and he already has a queen, right? If I continue to stay here, it will inevitably affect the marriage between Anguo and Kangguo, and then war will break out again, and the people will suffer. And I absolutely do not want to be someone else's concubine in this life. My royal brother should understand."

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes flashed with admiration. "Of course. I, the daughter of the Xuanyuan Emperor, am a noble woman. How could I possibly be the concubine of a mere Kangguo Emperor? If you return this time, the Xuanyuan Empire will surely be in turmoil."

He looked at Xie Mishuang with a hint of admiration. He originally thought that this imperial sister would be blinded by love and would not want to go back with him, let alone become the crown prince of the Xuanyuan Empire and shoulder such heavy responsibilities. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to speak out.

This made him more confident about his next plan.
