After eating and drinking, Ruan Xiaojiu returned to his room. He had been tense these days and had not had enough rest. He lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

At this time, Di Jingchen came back from outside and saw Ruan Xiaojiu lying on the bed, asleep. Looking at her sleeping face, he recalled his memories in the ghost world of Wangchuan. His little girl? How could his little girl be such a scoundrel? How could she be such a lecher? Thinking of this, his expression turned cold and he turned to leave the room.

Xiao Cui saw Di Jingchen coming back. She had just seen clearly from outside the door that the Holy Lord was staring at her master's sleeping face in a daze. She couldn't help but feel happy for her master. When she saw the Holy Lord coming out, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Holy Lord, I have prepared the meal. Please move to the dining room."

Di Jingchen glanced at Xiao Cui, feeling the hunger in his stomach, but without being pretentious, he nodded indifferently and followed Xiao Cui to the dining room.

On the second day, Ruan Xiaojiu slept soundly and woke up when it was already bright.

Yun Yizhou, Feng Liushang, and the others all woke up early, ready to wait for Ruan Xiaojiu to wake up so they could go and see Ruan Siqi off. Even Guan Qi'an, who rarely interacted with others, was waiting in the front hall.

Xiao Cui was waiting anxiously outside Ruan Xiaojiu's door. She knew that her prince was always in a bad mood when he woke up. He just woke up yesterday and slept until noon today. Did she know that the princess was about to be taken away? The princess had already said goodbye to the emperor in the palace. It was true that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was.

Ruan Xiaojiu sensed Xiao Cui was hesitating outside the door and didn't dare to come in, so he asked, "Xiao Cui, is there something wrong?"

When Xiao Cui heard the sound of Ruan Xiaojiu waking up, her eyes lit up and she immediately responded, "Your Highness, you are finally awake." Then she pushed the door open and entered.

Ruan Xiaojiu sat up and lazily put on his clothes. Seeing Xiao Cui's anxious look, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that today is the day the princess is getting married?" Xiao Cui said anxiously while dressing Ruan Xiaojiu.

Ruan Xiaojiu glanced at Xiao Cui, and replied in a voice still hoarse from just waking up, "I haven't forgotten."

"Then why aren't you in a hurry? The princess has already bid farewell to the palace. If you go too late, you won't be able to see the princess." In fact, Xiao Cui wanted to say, how can you save the princess if you go too late, Prince, don't you care about the princess the most? Xiao Cui sighed in her heart.

Ruan Xiaojiu certainly knew that today was the day Ruan Siqi was taken away, but if she didn't show up, those selfish Qin State parasites would be exposed. Now it seems that the time is almost up.

Ruan Xiaojiu looked at himself in the mirror, curled his lips and smiled, and ordered, "Prepare some snacks for this king. This king hasn't had breakfast yet, so I need to take some with me on the way."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ruan Xiaojiu came to the front hall and saw that Yun Yizhou, Feng Liushang and others were dressed very formally. They were all very handsome and elegant. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at them. It was true that clothes make the man. These people who looked inconspicuous at ordinary times, now looked very handsome in their gorgeous clothes.

Seeing Guan Qi'an there, she came up to him with some elegance and said, "Wouldn't you rather marry an ugly woman than be my concubine? On what basis are you entering the palace with me today?"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Qian'an's face turned ugly in an instant, and he felt very uncomfortable as his fingers dug into his flesh, but this was the only chance to see Yuyan openly, and he didn't want to miss it.

Feng Liushang felt helpless when he saw this scene. He knew Guan Qi'an came to the palace to see his sister. It was all his sister's fault. The engagement between them had been set long ago, and Guan Qi'an was in love with his sister. It was not surprising. They were supposed to get married in two months. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, his sister had been provoked by something and insisted on breaking off the engagement, threatening to commit suicide if he didn't. He had no choice but to break off the engagement.

Guan Qian'an was hit hard, so he persecuted people like this. Seeing Guan Qian'an's expression as if he didn't care about anything, he felt very sorry for him.

At this time, he had to step in to smooth things over, saying, "The Grand Tutor had sent someone to inform us that the princess was getting married, and we all had to attend."

Ruan Xiaojiu looked at Feng Liushang with a half-smile, "Are you trying to speak for him, my beloved?"

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, go ask Xiao Si from the Grand Tutor's Mansion if he came here to pass on this news."

Ruan Xiaojiu tilted his head, "So what? I have the final say in the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

Guan Qi'an was even more embarrassed when he saw Feng Liushang being criticized for defending him. He calmed down and said calmly, "The princess's marriage is a happy event for the Qin State. How can Qi'an not personally congratulate her?"

Ruan Xiaojiu's expression grew colder when he heard this answer, and he asked in a chilling tone, "Do you really hope that the princess will marry?"

Guan Qi'an was a little nervous because he could hear the displeasure in Ruan Xiaojiu's voice. He lowered his head and said, "No, Qi'an just..."

He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and said, "Since the prince doesn't want Qi'an to go, then Qi'an won't go." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Ruan Xiaojiu gritted his teeth and said impatiently, "Stop."

Guan Qian'an stopped but did not turn around.

In fact, Ruan Xiaojiu knew that what Guan Qian'an said just now was just a casual remark, but she just didn't like to hear it.

Looking at Guan Qian'an who was so lost, Ruan Xiaojiu felt a little uncomfortable for the first time in her heart, so she said lightly, "If you want to follow me, just follow me. Don't say that I bullied you when you go out in the future." After leaving these words, Ruan Xiaojiu left first and got into the carriage outside.

Guan Qian'an turned around, looked at Ruan Xiaojiu's departing back, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Liushang came over and patted his shoulder, giving him silent comfort.
