"We have no grievances between us." Wenren Yingyue swallowed down the mouthful of blood that was in her throat and spoke in a cold voice, "Why does Your Highness the Princess have to make things difficult for me like this?"

"Make things difficult?" Xue Ling tilted his head innocently, perfectly portraying an innocent young girl who knew nothing about the world, an existence that was the at the peak of all white lotuses, the type that should be trampled to death under the protagonist's foot so that the audience can applaud and cheer. "Where did I make things difficult for the Mingyue Princess? The Princess is not that young anymore. Brother Emperor had not thought of it before, so he did not arrange a marriage for you. Now that he has chosen such a man for you, the Princess should be laughing instead."

"According to the Royal Princess, being sent far away for a marriage alliance is a good thing?"

"For ordinary people, it would be a never-ending purgatory. Based on the frail appearances of several Princesses within the royal family, it is estimated that they would die on the way to their wedding before making it very far, but it will be different for the Mingyue Princess." Xue Ling propped his cheek against his hand as he praised her. His posture seemed casual, but his tone was very serious. "The Mingyue Princess is good at making the most unfavorable environment comfortable. Isn't this marriage that I've chosen for you the most suited to your ability?"

He spoke this extremely unreasonable nonsense with a solemn expression, and seeing his appearance, Wenren Yingyue knew that attempting to reason with him here would not change anything. She gave him a deep look before dropping some harsh words. "Wenren Hong, you just wait. I, Wenren Yingyue, am not so easily pushed down. You won't always be high up and unreachable, we will slowly see how this game plays out."

Watching her leave, Xue Ling had a large smile on his face as he turned his head to ask his maid, "Does she still have time to go slowly?"

The maid, having served the royal family for many years, has long known what to listen to and when to pretend ignorance. As long as her mistress did not die early, she would be with her mistress for her entire life. Obviously, she would not say any words that did not follow her mistress' meaning. "His Majesty's decree will be sent to the Gongqin Palace sooner or later. As long as the Princess does not resist the decree, there will be no time for the Princess to play slowly."

Xue Ling curved his lips and stood up. "Well, she's really angry now. Even you understand the situation. Why is she so unaccepting?"

The Prince's plan had been blocked, and Xi Country was now under the strong leadership of the Emperor. There was nobody who could challenge the decisions he made. Wenren Yingyue would not have any way of approaching the Emperor, and could only choose to make her move on the way to the marriage alliance.

Regardless of what method she chose to get away, as long as she shed her current identity, she would no longer be the Mingyue Princess of Gongqin Palace.

At that time, her life or death would be completely in Xue Ling's hands.

When Xue Ling arrived at the palace gates, he saw that the General's Palace carriage was still parked there with Zhan Shaoxi seated on the carriage's driver's seat. He was clearly a great General of the army, but was acting like a carriage driver while looking at the official documents in his hand. Many guards who guarded the palace were giving him worshipful gazes, presumably admiring him for his hard-working attitude and not wasting even a minute or a second.
