Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

Summer arrived in the blink of an eye.

The cicadas chirped outside the window in June, and the scorching sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the hot bluestone bricks.

At the princess's residence, red silk was hung high, and as far as the eye could see, a festive red color enveloped the entire magnificent mansion, adding a touch of joy to the atmosphere.

The servants in the mansion were carrying out the final arrangements in an orderly manner. At the same time, a beautiful figure hurriedly walked across the corridor, looking anxious and seemingly displeased.

When the servants saw their master passing by, they all stopped what they were doing and stood in line with their heads bowed on both sides, fearing that their master might vent his anger on them.

With a "bang," Duan Yuyan kicked open the door to the room, her hair ornaments jingling. The whole movement was fluid and graceful, showing none of the demeanor of a princess.

"Princess, please don't be angry. This is not the Emperor's fault."

Man'er followed closely behind and entered the room with Duan Yuyan. She was covered in sweat, probably because she had also heard about how the princess had argued with the emperor again in the imperial study earlier that day.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the maids sweeping and cleaning. She waved her hand and quickly told them to leave the room.

Duan Yuyan was furious. She glanced at the bookshelf beside her, turned around and smashed the neatly arranged, expensive porcelain pieces on it to the ground, shattering them into pieces.

"I think Father is really biased. Now that I want to leave, he won't listen to anything I say!"

She glared fiercely at the shattered blue and white porcelain, and a surge of pleasure welled up inside her. Perhaps only by smashing and destroying it could she calm her anger.

“Your Highness, according to etiquette, you should be escorted to the Western Regions by the accompanying general. This is the rule passed down from our ancestors.”

While explaining on behalf of the Emperor, Man'er took a few steps back.

After all, the last time Duan Yuyan got angry, it took her injured leg more than half a month to finally scab over.

Now, perhaps because she was too scared, she kept her distance, afraid of being affected by the porcelain that Duan Yuyan smashed.

"What ancestral rules? My words have no effect? ​​It was my father who ordered me to marry into the Western Regions for the peace of Nanyang. Why shouldn't I have the right to make my own decision?"

Duan Yuyan turned around in a fit of rage and reached for another item.

With another muffled thud, the jade carving shattered into pieces.

Not satisfied with one piece, Duan Yuyan then picked up another jade ruyi.

Before long, the entire room was a complete mess.

Duan Yuyan sat panting on a round chair. Today, she was wearing a rather proper princess dress because she was going to the palace, but perhaps because of the many movements she had just made...

There were even some seams and cracks at the waist.

She lowered her head and looked at her skirt, her expression freezing slightly, presumably because she had noticed the tear.

"These sluts, seeing I'm getting married far away, they can't even make clothes anymore? Man'er!"

When she looked up at Man'er, her eyes were filled with overwhelming anger, which truly startled Man'er.

She quickly stepped forward, bent down, and replied.

"Princess, this dress was already much larger than your original size, so it must be..."

"Are you saying that I've gained too much weight recently?"

Duan Yuyan's voice was somewhat cold. Already feeling unhappy, she was now eager to find an outlet for her frustration.

A look of terror flashed across Man'er's face, and she knelt on the ground, saying...

"Princess, please calm down. That's not what I meant. I'll have the embroiderers in the manor handle this for you."

After saying that, she tried to get up and leave this dangerous place.

But as soon as she turned around, that angry voice came from behind her again.

"There's no need for them to come. Just kill them all so they won't get in my way."

"Princess?"

Man'er turned around in disbelief and looked at Duan Yuyan, who looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

He exuded a terrifying aura of yin energy, and just one glance was enough to silence Man'er.

"Man'er, even you are unwilling to listen to this princess?"

Duan Yuyan glanced at her, her tone carrying a hint of threat, which made Man'er dare not plead for the innocent embroiderers anymore.

"This servant dares not. This servant will immediately order someone to dispose of those embroiderers."

Man'er lowered her head, accepted the order, and left the room with somewhat heavy steps.

Duan Yuyan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Perhaps because she had exerted too much force just now, she felt a slight swelling and pain in her wrist.

She rubbed her wrists, her face full of resentment.

Today, her father has truly disrespected her, forcing her to travel alone to the Western Regions for a political marriage! And even separating her from him!

Before she could calm down, a gray-blue figure darted in from outside.

"you……"

Before Duan Yuyan could even speak, she saw the man running up to her, and her face, which had been full of resentment, instantly changed.

"Why did you come back? We're getting married, shouldn't you be going back to the Western Regions?"

She leaned against the man's chest in an affected manner, and the man chuckled softly.

"When I heard that you had a fight with my future father-in-law today, I was really worried. I should have already left the outskirts of the capital by now, but I turned back to see you."

The man took the opportunity to pull Duan Yuyan into his arms, his captivating phoenix eyes utterly alluring.

“I get angry just thinking about it. I wanted to ask my father to let you go to the Western Regions with me, but he insisted on bringing up some old family rules and said that there was no precedent for this among our ancestors.”

Duan Yuyan was in the man's arms, playing with his long hair.

At this moment, she completely forgot about how easily she had killed several embroiderers just now.

“You… the rules set by our ancestors are important and cannot be broken casually. The Emperor is right, I should have been the one to bring this up, but I never expected you to suffer such an injustice.”

The man's large hand stroked Duan Yuyan's face, his eyes filled with deep affection, which only made Duan Yuyan's heart sink even further.

Why had she always ignored such a handsome man before?

Duan Yuyan nestled herself against the man's chest and said sweetly.

"Since you've already returned to the capital, why don't you go and plead with my father? I really don't want anyone to send me to the Western Regions. I don't want to be separated from you for even a moment."

For the past month or so, she has been spending every night with men.

It had only been a few days since they last met, but her temper had already flared up again, mostly because she hadn't seen her sweetheart.

The man chuckled softly, gently kissed her lips, and then whispered in her ear...

"I miss you too, but right now, apart from you, no one in the entire Nanyang knows that I've been staying in the capital. If I rashly go to plead for you, I'm afraid it will fall into other people's mouths and ruin your reputation, Princess."

The man's very considerate words made Duan Yuyan's face light up with joy.

She chuckled and playfully punched the man's chest.

"My people are all yours, why should I care about what others say? If they dare to talk behind my back, just kill them."
