Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

The sixth princess's husband's surname was Fang, and he had a sweetheart before marrying her.

However, because his beloved was observing mourning, their marriage was delayed after they reached a certain age.

Unfortunately, at this moment, devastating news struck: Emperor Jingzhao bestowed a marriage upon him and the sixth princess.

Although he was extremely unwilling, disobeying the imperial decree would be a capital offense.

Not only him, but his family members will also be executed for his disobedience.

Therefore, he was forced to marry the sixth princess.

From then on, he sealed his heart and locked away his love, trying to let go of his beloved and think about living a good life with the Sixth Princess.

Since there is absolutely no possibility between the two of them in this life, he would never allow his beloved to be wronged and become a concubine.

Therefore, he took on the responsibilities of a husband and was completely devoted to the sixth princess.

Since the outcome is irreversible, he will naturally treat the sixth princess well now that he has married her; this is his responsibility as a man.

He has never met his sweetheart in the past two years; he is not the kind of scumbag who wants both.

He thought his life would continue like this, but he never expected to learn that the Sixth Princess had a sweetheart before her marriage.

Moreover, she couldn't forget him even after marriage, and actually did such a thing because she was unwilling to accept it.

This young master Fang never liked the Sixth Princess.

His sweetheart had to observe three years of mourning, so she was still unmarried at this time.

This year marks the end of her mourning period.

So how could this young master Fang not seize this great opportunity to divorce the sixth princess and marry his beloved?

This matter was kept extremely secret, and even Emperor Jingzhao was unaware that Young Master Fang had someone he loved.

Aside from Mr. Fang himself and his sweetheart, only his family knew about it.

As for how Ling Yan found out, it was all thanks to Shen Qingchen.

Because Shen Qingchen had seen Fang Gongzi meeting with his sweetheart in private before he got married.

And quite coincidentally, the two met in the courtyard next to his mansion.

Even from a great distance, martial arts practitioners can clearly see each other's conversations, expressions, and appearances.

However, he has never been one to meddle in other people's business, and what others do is none of his concern.

He then ignored the matter.

Until yesterday's events, he suddenly remembered that they had mentioned the Sixth Princess during their conversation that day.

After a little thought, I understood the matter and also knew who the two people were.

So that must have been the last time they saw each other; it was a farewell.

Therefore, he waited at the Crown Prince's residence today, and told Lingyan about it when she returned.

Therefore, the outcome for the Sixth Princess this time was already predictable.

Peace and separation.

Moreover, this matter was originally the Sixth Princess's fault, so even Emperor Jingzhao couldn't disagree.

He was thinking that since the daughters of the imperial family were not worried about getting married, and now that the Fang family was dissatisfied with her and wanted a divorce, he was glad to have her.

So even if he doesn't agree to a divorce, they won't be happy if they force themselves to stay together.

Moreover, the Fang family probably won't treat her the same way they used to.

Since that's the case, it's better to end this marriage now to avoid becoming a resentful couple.

He can find her someone even better later.

So in the end, even though the sixth princess clung to her and threw a tantrum, she absolutely refused to agree to a divorce.

The matter was settled.

Holding the fresh divorce papers, Young Master Fang felt relaxed and happy, his face beaming with joy.

Only then did the Sixth Princess truly experience despair and regret.

She was truly, truly regretting it at that moment.

She sat blankly in the room, her eyes vacant and lifeless, staring at the divorce papers that had already taken effect in her hand, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She never imagined things would develop this way.

She once thought that even if she made a mistake, her father would always protect her, and her husband's family would tolerate her because of her status as a princess.

But now, reality has dealt her a heavy blow.

She thought she was just venting her frustrations, but she never expected it to have such serious consequences.

Now, all of that is in the past.

She felt as if she had suddenly fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, losing her princess aura and her former peaceful life.

She felt like a joke, having once been high and mighty, now reduced to such a pathetic state.

She didn't know how to face the public's gaze in the future, nor did she know where to go from here.

She even began to resent herself, wondering why she couldn't control her emotions and why she had put herself in such a desperate situation.

At this moment, she was filled with self-blame, regret, and fear of the future.

It felt as if I were in a dark abyss, unable to find a glimmer of hope.

...............

The day before Chu Qinglan and the envoys of Western Chu returned to Western Chu.

Chu Qinglan was finally able to meet her ninth aunt as she had wished.

Seeing that Aunt Jiu's condition did not seem so serious and that she was showing signs of recovery, Chu Qinglan finally felt relieved.

He then relayed the matter to the other envoys of Western Chu.

Tell them that Aunt Jiu is almost fully recovered.

This is what Lingyan and Chu Xiyao wanted them to think.

They would be relieved to know that Lin Ya's illness was not serious, so that I could return to Western Chu and inform the Western Chu Emperor so that he would not have to worry.

Otherwise, if Lin Ya was still ill when the Western Chu envoy left.

When these Western Chu envoys return and tell the Western Chu emperor, it will surely cause him great worry and anxiety.

That's why they staged this whole thing.

As expected, the people of Western Chu were relieved to receive this news.

They thought he was so sick a couple of days ago...

Fortunately, everything is fine now, and smiles have returned to everyone's faces.

I left Dazhao with a very peaceful mind the next day.

Lingyan naturally saw Chu Qinglan off at the city gate.

Then Lin Ya cannot appear.

Chu Xiyao then used the excuse that Chu Qinglan was not fully recovered and should not go out in the wind, so he came alone to see her off.

Chu Qinglan stood at the city gate, looking at Ling Yan and Chu Xiyao who had come to see her off, her heart filled with emotion and reluctance.

Her gaze was fixed on Ling Yan, her admiration and affection evident in her eyes.

Then, she pursed her lips slightly, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

Then her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at her with reluctance, saying, "Sister Ling, I really hate to part with you. I had a very happy time in Dazhao, and I learned a lot from you. Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan smiled and stepped forward, gently patting Chu Qinglan's shoulder, saying, "Qinglan, don't be sad. We'll have a chance to meet again in the future. I wish you a safe journey, that all your wishes will be fulfilled, and that you will have peace and joy."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinglan nodded vigorously, and tears finally streamed down her face.

Then she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "Sister Ling, I understand, thank you for your blessing."

Then, Chu Qinglan's gaze turned to Chu Xiyao, her ninth uncle.

Although they haven't met many times over the years, Uncle Jiu has always prioritized letting the younger generation choose the best food and fun activities.

Although he was about the same age as them, they never felt that he was their peer; they always thought of him as their elder.

He was also the most beloved elder among these younger generations.

It's probably because he's not much older than them, so they share many similar ideas and views.

That's why they like him the most.

Besides, he's probably the best-looking one.

That's why she came to him for help this time, because he is her support here.
