Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Mu Lanxun's hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was tightly sealed. He sat two steps away from the door, and was actually only separated from Feng Xili by a door.

When he heard her voice, he instantly understood what Emperor Qi Zhao meant.

He felt a little nervous and uneasy. Did his sister come here just for him?

"Li You, do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Qi Zhao spread out a piece of paper, as if he wanted to write a few big words.

She hurried forward, carefully grinding the ink, and pondering how to start.

"Your Majesty, Prince Mu Jiu has been missing recently. Could he be in danger?" She went straight to the point, and her bluntness stunned both people inside and outside the door.

She curled her lips and decided to be sincere and behave herself in front of Emperor Qi Zhao.

"Li You, is she close to the Ninth Prince?" He was really curious. That young man was younger than her. She didn't like the handsome Second Prince, but liked the Ninth Prince who pretended to be gloomy for no reason?

"It's not bad, after all, Prince Zixiang's Mansion is not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we'll see each other every day." She said casually.

Putting down the pen, he glanced at the tightly closed door, a sly smile spreading across his lips.

"I summoned him to the palace a few days ago, thinking that Princess Biying will reach the age of marriage next year, and I want to betroth the princess to him." He paused here, and it was obvious that the hand grinding ink stopped for a moment.

"Prince Mu Jiu said he would consider it." He continued.

Mu Lanxun on the other side of the door suddenly jumped up and struggled, but a sword was pressed against his neck.

A strong rage surged in his chest. What nonsense was this dog emperor talking about!

The guards beside him were dressed in black, and the soft swords in their hands were like cold death warrants, pressing hard against his vitals.

Feng Xili looked up and saw Emperor Qi Zhao smiling peacefully. Mu Lan had been trapped in Shangli Kingdom as a hostage for several years. Now His Majesty said that he wanted to marry his only princess to him and asked him to consider it?

When will Mu Mu be able to receive such treatment?

She straightened her face and said, "If the Ninth Prince has no one in his heart, he should have agreed."

"After all, this is the grace of His Majesty." She said lightly, as if she didn't care.

Qi Zhaodi's face also fell. Could it be that Li You had no feelings for him? How dare that boy pester Li You?

Mu Lanxun felt as if he had been electrocuted. He stared with his eyes wide open, breathing heavily, and the corners of his eyes gradually turned blood red.

"But the Ninth Prince must already have someone in his heart, so if he marries the princess, wouldn't that be unfair to her?" she added.

Looking at His Majesty's indifferent eyes, she lowered her head. Obviously, the pursuit of a relationship of mutual support would not work here, not to mention in the imperial family.

"Your Majesty, Li You believes that life is only a few decades long, and there must be a period of time when we live for ourselves. We cannot disobey our parents' orders, but we must always try to fight for our own life."

She put down the inkstone in her hand and knelt down in front of him.

"What if we succeed?" She tilted her head and smiled, and the solemn atmosphere was instantly broken.

Emperor Qi Zhao was both amused and confused, and did not comment.

"Who are you fighting for? For the princess? Or for the ninth prince?" he asked.

"For myself." Without hesitation, she thought of the boy and his gentle smile.

"Have you ever thought that he might want to use you to get to the top?" he guessed.

"Your Majesty, Li You was conferred the title by you not long ago. How could he have thought of the present situation then?" Why did she feel that His Majesty looked very unhappy and didn't seem to be about to lose his temper?

"Do you like him so much? How dare you argue with me like this?" He was unhappy, very unhappy. It was bad enough that his aunt was older than him, but she also wanted to find a husband younger than her. It gave him a headache.

Even though he was an emperor and didn't have to perform rituals, he still felt uncomfortable.

"Yes, I like him, very much." Her bright eyes were filled with warmth.

"What if I marry Biying to him next year? You two are sisters, there's no distinction between high and low." He said through gritted teeth.

Who is His Majesty trying to upset? He has to give his precious daughter away? Can't she just stay a few more years?

She had finally realized that her title of princess was not very prestigious. Emperor Qi Zhao did not seem to be talking to a junior in front of her. He bestowed upon her the title of princess probably because of some unspeakable secret.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Li You does not want to share a husband with anyone else." She was determined to shock people.

After these words were spoken, the two people inside and outside the door were stunned again.

Qi Zhaodi found it unbelievable, but Mu Lanxun guessed something instantly. He always felt that his sister was distant from him, but it turned out that it was because he did not make his position clear.

"Li You, this is really difficult to handle!"

Emperor Qizhao gasped in shock, thinking that Emperor Xiaozun had not been able to do this before.

There is not only one queen in the harem, but also one concubine. Although the imperial concubine is just a decoration, she has been formally canonized.

"Don't panic, Your Majesty. This is just my expectation, not extravagant." She blinked and smiled heartlessly.

He felt relieved, it's okay, just think about it, no man in this world can do it.

That's not right. If she cares so much about that boy, does that mean she will let him marry someone else in the future?

"Are you so sure that Prince Mu Jiu will only have you in the future?" He raised his voice intentionally.

"I'm not sure." She replied helplessly, a hint of bitterness welling up in her heart.

But those four words were like thin needles, softly piercing into Mu Lanxun's chest.

"When the time comes, I will leave. Life is only a few decades long, and I've had him for so many years. I should be content."

She suppressed the depression in her heart. Who made her travel to this era? She envied the original owner. If she discovered that monogamy was the norm in that world, how happy would she be?

Mu Lanxun was shocked when she heard this. Leave? If there was someone else between them, her sister would leave?

Although he was surprised, he didn't feel very embarrassed, and he would not give his sister a chance to leave.

Emperor Qi Zhao was completely speechless. This soul from another world was really unexpected in every way. I wonder if the previous people were also so rebellious?

"If Li Youruo has nothing to do, go back. Now that I know your feelings, I will not harm his life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Li You will take your leave." She bowed and stood up to leave.

The closed door next to him was gently pushed open, and Mu Lanxun was untied and stood silently by the door.

"What does Prince Mu Jiu think?" Emperor Qi Zhao waved his hand and asked Fude and the guards to retreat.

He bowed and clasped his fists: "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

"Okay! I'll believe you this time!" He slammed the table and stood up, walking towards him from behind the table.

Emperor Qi Zhao looked at the boy who was about to turn sixteen. Although he was twice his age, he felt that the boy was a rough jade that needed to be carved, and he did not disappoint himself in the past few days.

"I'm telling you in secret, Princess Liyou is a very important person to me and to Shang Li. I'll only give you three years."

Emperor Qi Zhao lowered his voice and made a solemn promise to him as an elder.

Mu Lanxun was startled suddenly, and he grabbed her arm as she was about to salute. There was a special kind of caution in the eyes of both of them.

"I will not interfere in Liyou's affairs from now on. I will give her the greatest freedom and respect. If she doesn't want to be with you in the future, I hope you can also agree to it and not get entangled."
