The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

The emperor's expression was complicated, showing both relief at the princess's compromise and worry about the changing situation.

The princess looked up, her eyes firm and deep.

"Yes, Father, I have thought it through. If Xiao Rong is truly willing to marry me, then I am willing to let go of our emotional entanglement."

A complex light flashed in the emperor's eyes. He knew very well what the princess' decision meant.

"My dear, do you know that marriage is no joke? Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed?"

The emperor reaffirmed that he hoped the princess could truly think things through.

The princess nodded, her eyes gleaming with determination and relief.

"Father, I have carefully considered this matter and I am willing to take on this responsibility."

Seeing this, the emperor said no more.

The princess has made her decision, and as a father, he can only fully support her.

"Okay, in that case, I will arrange it." The emperor said, his eyes full of love and reluctance.

The princess' eyes reddened slightly when she heard this, but she held back her tears and nodded.

"Thank you, Father."

Afterwards, the emperor sent someone to summon Xiao Rong into the palace.

The hall returned to calm again, but the air was filled with depression and tension.

Jiang Yu stood outside the hall, feeling mixed emotions.

Soon, Xiao Rong was brought into the main hall.

He saw the princess's determined gaze and the emperor's complicated expression, and suddenly understood something in his heart.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, Princess."

Xiao Rong bowed, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Jiang Yu.

Seeing this, the emperor coughed lightly and broke the silence.

"Xiao Rong, I summoned you to the palace today to discuss an important matter."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rong collected his thoughts and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, please explain."

The emperor glanced at the princess and spoke slowly, "My son... is willing to marry you, but I hope you can treat her sincerely."

Xiao Rong was shocked when he heard this.

He didn't expect the princess to suddenly change her mind, and he didn't expect the emperor to make this request so directly.

He looked at the princess, whose eyes were gentle and firm, as if to say, "I do."

Xiao Rong took a deep breath and answered solemnly, "I don't want to."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

The emperor's face darkened and he stared at Xiao Rong sharply.

"Can you say that again!"

Xiao Rong took a deep breath, raised his head, and met the emperor's gaze calmly.

"Your Majesty, I already have someone I love in my heart, and that is Jiang Yu. I cannot let her down."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression became even uglier.

The princess was slightly stunned, then she smiled with relief.

She knew that Xiao Rong would not compromise so easily.

Jiang Yu stood outside the hall, and when he heard Xiao Rong's words, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She knew that she was not mistaken.

The emperor stared at Xiao Rong for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Do you know the consequences of rejecting me?"

Xiao Rong smiled calmly: "I know, but I don't regret it."

Upon hearing this, a complicated light flashed in the emperor's eyes.

He waved his hand, signaling Xiao Rong to leave.

Xiao Rong bowed, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu hurried forward to meet him.

"Xiao Rong, are you okay?"

Xiao Rong looked at her worried eyes and felt warm in his heart.

"I'm fine, let's go home."

The two walked out of the palace hand in hand, leaving behind a complicated situation and an unknown future.

On the other side, Lin Wanqing was anxiously waiting for news in his mansion, looking out the window from time to time, feeling uneasy.

She was worried about Xiao Rong's safety, and even more worried that the princess's decision would affect the entire court.

At this moment, Lu Shengyuan hurried into the house, with a tired but calm look on his face.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Wanqing's worried eyes and quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Wanqing, don't worry, the matter in the palace has been resolved."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing's frown finally relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes flashing with gratitude and relief.

"Really? Great, are you okay?"

She asked with concern, looking at Lu Shengyuan carefully.

Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly and shook his head.

"I'm fine. Thanks to the emperor's wisdom, everything is under control."

He deliberately downplayed the matter, not wanting to make Lin Wanqing worry too much.

When Lin Wanqing heard this, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

"That's good. I was really scared to death."

She patted her chest and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her lovely appearance and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He gently held Lin Wanqing's hand and said softly, "Wanqing, as long as I am here, you can rest assured."

Lin Wanqing felt the warmth of his palm and felt a sense of security in his heart.

She looked up at Lu Shengyuan, her eyes gleaming with happiness.

"Lu Shengyuan, thank you."

Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly and rubbed her hair lovingly.

"Silly girl, do we still need to talk about this between us?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the air was filled with happiness and sweetness.

On the other hand, the situation in the palace became increasingly tense.

The emperor was furious at Xiao Rong's rejection, but the princess fell into deep thought.

She knew that Xiao Rong's rejection meant that she had completely lost control of this relationship.

But at the same time, she also understood that a forced melon is not sweet.

If she really married Xiao Rong but couldn't get his heart, what would be the point?

The princess took a deep breath and made a decision in her heart.

She stood up and walked out of the hall.

The sun was shining brightly outside the palace, and it seemed to cover her with a golden halo.

The princess looked up at the sky, her mind clear.

She was going to meet someone who could help her.

In Jiang Yu's residence, Jiang Yu was talking to Xiao Rong about things in the palace.

Suddenly, a servant announced that the princess was coming to visit.

Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The princess walked into the house and saw Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"I came here to talk to you."

Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong hurriedly asked the princess to sit down, feeling a little uneasy.

They didn't know the purpose of the princess's visit, but judging by her expression, she didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

The princess sat at the table, looking at the two people in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

She once used all means to get Xiao Rong, but ignored Xiao Rong's feelings.

Now, she finally understands that love cannot be forced.

"Xiao Rong, I'm not here to embarrass you."

The princess spoke slowly, breaking the silence.

"I know that you only have Jiang Yu in your heart, and I am willing to help you both."

When these words were spoken, Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong both showed expressions of shock.

They didn't expect the princess to suddenly change her mind, let alone that she would fulfill their wish so easily.

"Princess, you..."

Xiao Rong looked at the princess, complex emotions flickering in his eyes.

The princess smiled slightly and shook her head.

"I am not a saint, but I am unwilling to force something that does not belong to me."
