In autumn, nights come early in the capital.

Princess Mu Xiaoxiao of Prince Qin waited at the gate of Prince Chen's mansion for a long time.

As soon as she saw Shen Li, she ran over crying.

In Shen Li's impression, Mu Xiaoxiao has always been a carefree person. Her world is all about eating, and she is happy as long as there is food to eat.

The only time her cognition was overturned was when Mu Qingyuan was injured and Mu Xiaoxiao came to her for treatment.

That day, Mu Qingyuan was seriously injured and all the imperial doctors were helpless. Mu Xiaoxiao came to Prince Chen's Mansion to ask Shen Li for help.

Her anxious look that day made Shen Li think that Mu Xiaoxiao had changed her mind.

Later, as Mu Qingyuan got better, Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her former carefree and casual personality.

Today, she was the same as before. Shen Li had guessed that this time it was probably because of Mu Qingyuan.

Shen Li patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Seeing how affectionate the two sisters were, Yun Chenyu didn't disturb them and went straight back home.

"Shen Li, I'm suffering so much!"

But this time, even delicious food can’t save me…”

Shen Li asked, "It's about your brother, right?"

Mu Xiaoxiao confided her true feelings.

"You see I look glamorous on the surface, nominally the Princess of Qin, but the King of Qin... he doesn't care about me at all. He spends all day hanging out in brothels and has three or four illegitimate children.

In order to numb myself, I can only focus on food. Food can make me forget all these annoying things temporarily.

But this time, delicious food can’t save me…”

After saying this, Mu Xiaoxiao began to wipe her tears again.

In Danxue Pavilion, Shen Li handed the brewed tea to Mu Xiaoxiao.

"Is it about your brother?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.

It was just as Shen Li expected.

She knew that the only person who could make Mu Xiaoxiao like this was her brother.

"I begged the King of Qin to intercede with the Queen Mother, but he pushed me away and told me not to cause trouble."

Mu Xiaoxiao said this, stroking her elbow with her left hand.

Shen Li's eyes fell on her movements, he grabbed her wrist and lifted her sleeve.

A large bruise...

"That's too much! It's really too much!" Shen Li was furious. "I'm going to settle the score with him right now! How can a grown man hit a woman?!"

Mu Xiaoxiao held Shen Li: "It's okay."

"What matters now is my brother, Qing Yuan... It's okay if I can't be happy, but I don't want my brother to follow in my footsteps..."

Shen Li sat down again and held Mu Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Xiaoxiao, this matter is no longer a matter between individuals. It is a matter between two countries. I... I really can't do anything..."

Shen Li lowered his eyes, feeling a little sad.

Emperor Xuanyuan is not stupid.

How could he easily change his mind about sacrificing Mu Qingyuan's happiness for the interests of Yunyan's entire country?

Besides, Princess Yingri is already pregnant, and the child is Mu Qingyuan's flesh and blood. It is only natural to take her home and insult her innocence.

Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and wiped away the tears that were flowing more and more.

Her voice also became hoarse: "Shen Li, I know, I know, I know all this. But...but I just can't help it, I can't help it..."

Shen Li took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Xiaoxiao, let me try. Let me try."

Shen Li knew in his heart that there was a high probability that this marriage could not be postponed.

However, as Mu Xiaoxiao's friend and someone involved in this matter, she should do something.

After seeing Mu Xiaoxiao off, Shen Li called Qingluan over.

"Come on, let's go meet Princess Sakurahi."

//

Yun Chenyu got up and went to Danxue Pavilion after receiving the news that Mu Xiaoxiao had left.

I happened to meet Shen Li who was putting on a cloak and about to go out.

"Ali, there's no turning back on Mu Qingyuan's situation. The King of Fusang has sent a letter, ceding the two cities bordering Yunyan to Yunyan."

Shen Li was stunned and became more determined in his previous thoughts.

When the Princess of Fuso got married, she was given a dowry of two cities, which was quite tempting.

Shen Li gathered his cloak and said, "I'll go see Princess Yingri and then I'll be back."

Seeing that Shen Li had made up his mind, Yun Chenyu stopped trying to persuade him and only sent guards with high martial arts skills to protect him secretly.

In the inn.

Princess Sakurahi sat on the doorstep with a dazed look on her face.

Shen Li stood opposite her, looking at her as if she were a joke.

"Are you satisfied with the result now?"

Unlike her previous arrogant and domineering appearance, Princess Yingri was very calm at this moment, just staring at Shen Li blankly.

Shen Li snorted coldly.

"Isn't this what you contributed to?"

Princess Sakurahi touched her belly, stood up, and her voice became louder.

"So you are very proud now, right? You came here on purpose to make fun of me?"

Shen Li sneered.

"What do I have to be proud of? I don't have to come here on purpose to laugh at you. Do you think others won't laugh at you if they can't see you?"

"Heh," Princess Sakura sneered, her tone becoming more aggressive. "People are laughing at me? I'm just daring to pursue love. What's wrong with that?"

Shen Li smiled.

"Dare to pursue love? What you mean by pursuing love is drugging and sacrificing yourself? Is this love?" Shen Li sneered, "This will only make men hate you more!"

It is difficult for a man to change his first impression of a woman.

If you like someone, you like him.

There is no such thing as falling in love over time.

Shen Li knew clearly that if she had not become more beautiful, had a different personality from the original owner, and had abilities, there was no way Yun Chenyu would have fallen in love with her.

There is no such thing as true love without reason. Both parties have their own motives.

In the process of both sides' plotting, perhaps different sparks will be created.

"What about you? You know that Prince Chen doesn't love you, but you still refuse to leave the palace and insist on occupying the position of Prince Chen's Consort. Do you have the nerve to criticize me?"

Shen Li curled his lips: "Of course, you don't need to interfere in my affairs. You have devoted yourself to Prince Chen. Did Emperor Xuanyuan ask Prince Chen to abandon me? Princess, your value is too small!"

Princess Sakura's heart sank.

After a moment, she exhaled a breath of foul air: "You are saying this now just to add insult to injury and make me even more sad."

"I'm not that boring." Shen Li raised his eyes and looked at Princess Yingri. "You made the mistake yourself, but now Mu Qingyuan has to bear it with you. Don't you think it's cruel? He has a woman he likes, but he can't be with her because of you. How can you bear it!"

Princess Sakura laughed and said, "You meddle too much in other people's business! However, if you are willing to kneel down and beg me, maybe I can agree to your request."

When he came, Shen Li was mentally prepared that he would not be able to convince Princess Yingri, but now when he heard what she said, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

She turned around and prepared to go back.

At this time, Princess Sakura behind him burst into laughter.

"Shen Li, the more you don't want me to get married, the more I'm going to marry you. I'm happy to see you suffer, hahahahaha..."

Shen Li didn't look back.

He walked and shook his head.

Crazy, this woman is really crazy...
