After Gao Yang came back, he paced back and forth in the hall restlessly, struggling over whether he should compromise and let Tao Yao get up, when a palace maid came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess is not feeling well. Please go and see her."

When Gao Yang heard that Tao Yao was not feeling well, he could no longer bear it and strode towards the alchemy room.

"Fox spirit, Gao Yang is coming this way, you can faint now."

Tao Yao nodded slightly, and then the moment she heard footsteps, she fell to the ground with a thud.

As soon as Gao Yang came in, he saw that she had fainted. His heart felt like it was being pinched by a big hand. He immediately went over and picked up Tao Yao.

"Yan'er, are you okay? Don't scare father. Father promises you that whatever you want, father will grant you."

Tao Yao secretly opened her eyes a crack and saw Gao Yang so sad. She felt a little reluctant in her heart. Alas, although Gao Yang was a tyrant, he was a qualified father to Gao Yan. He gave all his love to Gao Yan.

No wonder Gao Yan wanted him to live. The father and daughter really sympathized with each other.

Taoyao was sent to the bed by the palace maid. The imperial physician rushed over without stopping. He first took Taoyao's pulse, then knelt on the ground and reported to Gao Yang in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is suffering from liver qi stagnation caused by excessive worry, and she needs to be properly treated."

Gao Yang looked at Tao Yao lying on the bed with heartache, regretting his decision so much. Why did he get angry with Yan'er just now? As long as Yan'er was happy, he would be willing to give up his kingdom, not to mention letting Murong Fu be his son-in-law.

Seeing that the time had come, the system immediately began to urge Taoyao to wake up.

"That's enough, vixen. If you lie there any longer, Gao Yang will be scared to death."

Tao Yao slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was Gao Yang's tearful and distressed look.

Tao Yao spoke weakly, "Father, what's wrong with this minister?"

Gao Yang helped her sit up and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Yan'er, I agree to let Murong Fu be your husband. I will write the imperial decree to grant you marriage. As long as you are well, I am willing to marry you even if you marry a bandit leader."

Tao Yao happily threw herself into Gao Yang's arms and said excitedly, "Father, thank you."

When Murong Fu received the imperial decree granting him marriage, everyone in the Murong family, except Murong Fu, was in a good mood. The rest of the family looked in disbelief, especially old General Murong, who had the ugliest look on his face and almost couldn't breathe.

Murong Fu looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and knelt down and kowtowed in a rare good mood. You know, he never kneeled to a tyrant, but today the tyrant married his daughter to him.

He will be his father-in-law in the future, so he should kneel down for the sake of friendship.

"Your Majesty, Murong accepts your command and expresses his gratitude."

As soon as the palace maid who delivered the imperial edict left, General Murong pulled Murong Fu into the study with a serious expression.

Old General Murong still believes that Murong Fu was forced by Tao Yao. He values ​​his grandson Murong Fu very much and has calculated before that his Murong family will produce a wise ruler and overlord.

When Murong Fu was born, auspicious signs appeared from heaven, and he knew that this child was extraordinary. He might be the one who was born to be an emperor as the fortune teller said.

He always took these words seriously and trained Murong Fu in martial arts and literature since he was a child. He even secretly hired someone to teach him how to govern a country.

"Tell me the truth, is it the eldest princess who forced you to marry her? Gao Yan is a dandy and overbearing woman with no moral integrity. If you marry her, it would be like handing a knife to our Murong family."

"Grandfather, if I marry the eldest princess, I can openly eliminate my enemies. It's just a matter of luring the enemy deeper. It will also be more convenient for me to act under the name of the Gao family. Although there are risks, I believe in myself. If I can't even overcome this risk, how can I be the overlord of the world in the future?"

Old General Murong looked at Murong Fu and sighed deeply. The child had grown up and had his own ideas. How could an old fellow like him control him? A dragon that was almost fully formed could not be subdued by mortals.

"Forget it. You're grown up now and have your own ideas. I'm just an old man and can't control you. But you have to remember that you must protect the Murong family at all times and never let them fall into any situation that may lead to their irreparable destruction."

Murong Fu nodded, "My son, I understand. Please rest assured, Grandfather."

Taoyao was lying on the bed. Since she was pretending to be sick, she had to behave like a patient honestly.

A-Bi brought her her favorite iced bayberry. Taoyao took a bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

A Bi twisted her fingers in embarrassment. Young Master Li was outside asking to see His Highness. She was still frightened by what happened last night. Should she tell His Highness?

Tao Yao could tell at a glance that A-Bi was absent-minded. This girl had been acting strangely since she got up in the morning. What was wrong?

"Abi, what are you going to say?"

A-Bi thought about it and finally decided to say it, but she chose to say something else.

"Your Highness, Young Master Li is kneeling outside, demanding to see Your Highness. He also said that if Your Highness doesn't want to see him, he will kneel down forever. Your Highness, do you think you should let him in or keep him kneeling?"

Tao Yao got a headache whenever she thought of Li Qingshu. She still couldn't forget the scene last night when Li Qingshu wanted to sacrifice himself. Although he didn't do anything wrong, she was still scared by this guy.

"You let him in."

After a while, A Bi called Li Qingshu in. Li Qingshu knelt on the ground as soon as he came in. He was wearing thin clothes today. There was a layer of snow outside. His lips were black from the cold and his face was even paler than Tao Yao, the patient.

It looked like he would fall down with a gust of wind. Tao Yao felt a little sorry for him. In fact, it was not entirely Li Qingshu's fault last night. She was also scared by him, so she did not react for a while.

Besides, Li Qingshu was originally her male favorite, so it was normal for him to want to compete for her favor.

"Your Highness, Qingshu shouldn't have been so presumptuous last night. Please forgive me. I know I was wrong and I won't do it again. Your Highness, I'm just afraid you won't want me anymore. Your Highness is the only one in this world who treats Qingshu well. Without Your Highness, Qingshu will completely lose all thoughts of you."

Li Qingshu's pitiful appearance really touched Tao Yao. It must be said that his self-torture trick was very successful.

Tao Yao sighed. If she married Murong Fu, all the male favorites in the palace would probably not be able to stay and would have to be sent out of the palace.

"Qingshu, please get up. The ground is cold. You're not feeling well. Don't catch a cold. I don't blame you for what happened last night. Don't take it to heart. I know that I have really ignored you since you entered the palace."

"You don't have to worry about it. My father has already granted me and General Murong a marriage. Don't worry, I will give you a generous reward, enough to ensure you have comfortable food and clothing for the rest of your life."
