It's better to imagine a boyfriend than to attack the villain

Liu Huaqiao never thought that the people in Prince Duan's Mansion would support Ye Xingcai.

"Cousin, why don't you talk to your aunt and uncle?"

Liu Huaqiao said dejectedly, "Isn't this just adding to their troubles?"

"But if you don't tell me, how can you know what they think?"

This one sentence left Liu Huaqiao speechless.

Yes, if he doesn’t say it, how can he know whether his parents agree or not?

All Yue Youyou can do now is to persuade Liu Huaqiao and the Liu couple to have a showdown.

"Cousin, it's not easy to meet someone who truly loves you. Since you both have feelings for each other, why don't you be brave?"

Liu Huaqiao fell silent.

He was indeed not brave enough. Ye Xingcai could have bravely told everything to his family and firmly told him, "I like you."

What about him?

He was worried about too many things and selfishly kept Ye Xingcai hanging.

Maybe he should be brave for once.

Liu Huaqiao figured it out and confessed to her parents when she got home.

Liu Kang and Madam Ya's first reaction was shock, and they were unable to recover for a long time.

Liu Huaqiao made up her mind and immediately knelt in front of the two elders, which scared them.

Madam Ya was heartbroken and quickly stood up, trying to help the man up, "Zhi'er, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Liu Huaqiao's knees seemed to be welded to the ground, and no matter how hard Madam Ya tried to pull them up, she couldn't get them up.

He kowtowed to the ground, leaned forward and said, "I am an unfilial child. Please punish me, Dad and Mom."

Madam Ya couldn't pull him up, so she anxiously called out to Liu Kang, who was sitting there in a daze, "You kid, get up quickly, Master! Let Zhier get up!"

Liu? Wife Slave? Kang finally reacted and said to Liu Huaqiao in a deep voice: "Stop kneeling, get up! Let's solve this problem first!"

Liu Huaqiao then slowly raised his head and stood up with the help of Madam Ya.

Liu Kang finally understood why his son had been absent-minded for some time. He was angry and distressed.

"Let me ask you, are you sincere towards Ye Xingcai?"

"Yes."

"What about him?"

"Yes."

"Do Prince Duan, Princess Duan, and the Crown Prince know about this?"

"I know. They respect the Star Judge's choice."

Liu Kang and Madam Ya looked at each other and understood what was going on.

Liu Kang looked at Liu Huaqiao, feeling rather disappointed. "Why didn't you tell your mother and me earlier? You were just trying to hold on? Do you think your mother and I would break you up?"

Liu Huaqiao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Dad, what do you mean?"

Liu Kang snorted angrily and turned his head away, ignoring him.

Liu Huaqiao looked at Madam Ya beside him again, his eyes full of anticipation.

Madam Ya sighed, "Your father and I have no objection to you being with Prince Xingcai, and Prince Duan has no objection either. If you truly love each other, then you should support each other and live a good life together."

"But Dad and Mom, if I'm with Xing Cai, the Liu family will be without descendants..."

Liu Kang snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about this. If I really cared about continuing the family line, I wouldn't have insisted on marrying your mother alone."

Madam Ya also said, "If, in order to continue the family line, they force lovers to separate and force you to marry a woman, it would be unfair to both you and the woman, and I, as a mother, would feel guilty for the rest of my life. Even if we have children, they won't be happy. What's the point of this continuation?"

"Mom..." Liu Huaqiao knew that his mother had always been a man of great sense of justice, but he didn't know that she had such a broad mind.

Liu Kang now looked at his hesitant and worried son with a hint of disdain. "I agree with your mother. I won't interfere with your relationship. But whether you and Ye Xingcai can stay together is a matter between you two."

If the two of them want to continue in this world, I'm afraid they will face many difficulties.

Liu Huaqiao said firmly, "Dad and Mom, please rest assured. I will remain steadfast."

After talking to her parents, Liu Huaqiao's condition became visibly better. She no longer looked depressed, but was smiling every day.

He spent three days and nights writing a letter and asked Yue Youyou to send it to Ye Xingcai.

He hadn't yet expressed his feelings, but his words hinted at his sincerity. He said he would give Ye Xingcai a satisfactory answer when he returned.

Seeing that he finally got it, Yue Youyou expressed her relief.

As long as the two of them can be together smoothly, all other obstacles will be left to her and Eleven to deal with.

At this time, Su Qu was about to start making trouble.

At the same time, the epidemic spread from other cities, causing panic among the people.

The emperor had to send more and more officials and imperial doctors to treat the disease.

But it spread too quickly, and some officials and imperial doctors were unfortunately infected. More and more people could not bear the torture and died.

Officials at the morning court, including the emperor, were all worried.

The emperor said in distress, "The Great Xia Dynasty has been a legend for thousands of years. Is there really nothing that can save the people?"

The ministers below were discussing the issue in low voices, but no one could come up with a solution.

At this time, an envoy who had been watching the scene stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have been sent to the Western Regions many times and have heard that epidemics are rampant among the people there. The doctors in the Western Capital are well versed in pharmacology and can easily eliminate these diseases. We should enhance exchanges between our two countries and use the doctors of the Western Regions to alleviate the people's worries."

As soon as he finished speaking, another minister came forward and praised the envoy's proposal.

Then another one came out, and finally most of the ministers agreed with this method.

The emperor was persuaded, thinking that this would not only solve the people's worries but also strengthen cooperation between the two countries, killing two birds with one stone.

So he waved his hand and sent the envoy to persuade the King of the Western Regions to borrow a doctor.

The envoy's surname was Shen, and he was in charge of diplomacy with the Western Regions.

He stayed in the Western Regions for about half a month with a group of diplomatic officials. He returned with five doctors and envoys from the Western Regions.

The envoy from the Western Regions said that the Western Regions had experienced such an epidemic before and had a complete and effective treatment plan, as well as a cure, but he did not directly send doctors to save people.

He had to negotiate terms with the emperor first.

The emperor naturally understood that interests were the prerequisite. In order to resolve the epidemic as quickly as possible, he hurriedly asked the other party what their requirements were.

The envoy from the Western Regions said that the princess of his country was in her prime and had always admired the culture of Daxia, and hoped that the two countries could have a marriage alliance.

But the princess of his country was unwilling to leave the land where she was born and raised, so she needed Daxia to send a prince consort over.

After hearing the first sentence, the emperor had already thought of letting the prince marry the princess, but after hearing the second sentence, he immediately gave up this idea.

The prince will inherit his position in the future, so it is impossible for him to go to the Western Regions to be a prince consort.

The envoys from the Western Regions also required that the prince consort of the marriage must be unmarried.

The current princes either already have concubines or have not reached adulthood, which means that the crown prince has not yet married, but it is impossible for the crown prince to marry a foreign prince.

The Western Regions envoy had already figured out the heirs of the Great Xia royal family, so he directly proposed, "The princess has heard of the great reputation of the eleventh prince of the Great Xia and has long admired him."

The emperor hesitated, "But—the eleventh prince already has a princess."

The Western Regions envoys were waiting for these words. "The Eleventh Prince and his wife are deeply in love. The princess has naturally heard of this, and has no intention of separating the lovers. She also heard that the Eleventh Prince has a handsome, talented, and unmarried younger brother."

The meaning is already obvious.

The emperor was a little hesitant. Prince Duan had said long ago that he should not interfere in his family affairs, especially his son's marriage.

This suddenly forced Ye Xingcai to marry, and he broke his original promise.

"Let me think about it again." The emperor asked people to settle the envoys and doctors from the Western Regions, and sat on the dragon throne thinking for a long time.

In the end, he was inclined to sacrifice Ye Xingcai for the benefit of the people.

Prince Duan and Ye Xingcai, who were busy in Nando, were urgently recalled to the palace, and Chen Huyi stayed to continue the rescue.

Originally, Prince Duan thought something had happened in the palace, so he rushed back at full speed. However, when he saw the emperor, the emperor said that he wanted to send his son to marry.

Prince Duan was instantly furious and could not contain his anger.

"Royal brother! You promised not to interfere in my family affairs. Are you going to break your promise now?"

The emperor explained the situation in a gentle voice, "My dear brother, I know you are deeply protective of your son, but this is the only way to save the people. A marriage can not only save the people from suffering, but also enhance the friendship between our two countries. It may even lead to a happy marriage."

Jiayuan, Jiayuan shit!

Prince Duan knew who Ye Xingcai's true love was, so it was even more impossible for him to agree to send him to marry.

Moreover, he did not believe that there was any cure in the Western Regions.

"Brother Emperor, I cannot possibly allow Xingcai to marry a foreign princess. Let's not mention it now." With that, Prince Duan was about to leave.

But before he had taken a few steps, he heard the emperor's angry voice behind him.

"Prince Duan, are you going to disobey my order?"

Prince Duan turned around, his eyes cold as ice, "My Royal Brother, you've been sitting in this position for so long, have you forgotten its original owner?"
