Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"I want my sixth brother to send me off to marry!" Shen Chuning said in a firm tone.

However, Xiao Yuanyi refused without hesitation, without even a second's thought: "No! Prince Consort Shen married into the Princess's household. From the day he got married, he completely severed all ties with the Shen family. It was precisely because of this that he was spared the suffering of exile. Therefore, under no circumstances is it appropriate for him to come and marry you."

Hearing this, Shen Chuning turned her head abruptly and no longer looked at Xiao Yuanyi.

Then, she responded categorically, "If that's the case, then I won't marry! I'm a lonely woman, so what does the Yong Kingdom have to do with me? It's just a matter of death, and dying in my familiar hometown is better than dying in a foreign land!"

Although what Shen Chuning said sounded decisive, Xiao Yuanyi couldn't find any reason to refute her for a moment.

After all, he knew very well in his heart that the friendship between him and Shen Chuning was almost gone.

At this moment, the reason why Shen Chuning was still willing to reluctantly agree to go for the marriage was simply because he promised to bring Prime Minister Shen back.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Yuanyi finally felt that the war situation in Nanzhao was more urgent.

In desperation, he had to agree to let Shen Chengliu go to marry Shen Chuning, and set the departure date for three days later.

During the next three days, Shen Chuning kept the door of her room tightly closed. No matter how Xiao Yuanyi tried to persuade or explain, she refused to come out to see him.

Finally, on the third day, Shen Chuning led her entourage and officially embarked on the journey of marriage.

Princess Jiahe's face was as pale as paper when she saw him off, without a trace of blood. Her originally pretty face now looked particularly haggard.

She suppressed the grief in her heart and bid farewell with everyone else, but her body could not bear it after all. Her eyes went dark and she fainted at the city gate.

Xiao Yuanyi was shocked when he saw this scene.

He knew very well that his sister had always had a deep relationship with Shen Chuning, and this separation might really be a farewell forever.

Thinking of this, he did not have too many doubts about his sister's fainting, and quickly sent the most capable imperial physician in the palace to the princess's mansion to treat Xiao Jinyu's illness.

After a careful diagnosis, the imperial physician reported that the princess was suffering from overwork and excessive stress, and needed to rest and recuperate for a period of time before she could recover.

Since then, the gate of Princess Jiahe's mansion has been tightly closed, and all visitors are refused, as if it is isolated from the world.

However, in reality, Xiao Jinyu had already disguised herself and left the city, and successfully mixed into the team that was escorting Shen Chuning to marry.

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze.

Shen Chuning was sitting in a spacious and luxurious carriage, happily enjoying exquisite and delicious snacks with Xiao Jinyu.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped without warning.

Shen Chuning, who was happily telling interesting stories with her hands and feet dancing, was caught off guard, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground in embarrassment.

At the critical moment, thanks to Xiao Jinyu's quick eyes and hands, she quickly reached out and grabbed her, thus avoiding an accident.

Shen Chuning patted her chest with lingering fear, frowned, and shouted outside the car: "Cuiwei, what's going on?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Cuiwei quickly walked to the carriage, leaned slightly closer to the window and replied, "Miss, it seems someone is blocking the way ahead."

Hearing this, Shen Chuning was full of doubts. She gently pushed open the car door and stuck her head out to look forward.

A powerful sound came clearly from not far away...

"Shen Chengliu, Shen Chuning is your biological sister, how could you have the heart to send her to Nanzhao as a marriage partner?"
