"I won't hurt you." Huo Zhige was as dejected as if he had used all his means and strength but still hadn't gotten the result he wanted.

Fang Ruotang glanced at him secretly and saw that he was sitting there without saying a word, but he exuded a defeated aura.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned her face away and didn't give in.

Huo Zhige did not dismount from the carriage, which proceeded into the city and arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's residence.

He just stood there blocking the car door, neither getting off nor letting Fang Ruotang get off.

He looked at her with pitiful eyes.

Fang Ruotang felt a little soft-hearted, but she held back and deliberately asked with a straight face, "What are you doing?"

Huo Zhige pursed his lips and struggled to say, "Don't exclude me."

Fang Ruotang raised an eyebrow, displaying a smug and self-satisfied air.

"Didn't you say you didn't care?"

"I didn't say that, little cutie, how come you've learned to smear people now!" Huo Zhige got anxious and tentatively reached out to hook Fang Ruotang's small hand. Seeing that she didn't struggle, he gripped it tightly.

Fang Ruotang snorted: "Didn't you just say that we should wait until Ye Wuxia comes along before deciding whether it's you or not? But you want me to abandon the other five for you. So you don't care about one-sixth of them?"

"I don't! I want it, I really want it!" Huo Zhige said through gritted teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging as he spoke, clearly feeling very uncomfortable.

"No rush! We can think about it slowly. Before we sleep together, we both have a chance to regret it." Fang Ruotang leaned in and gave Huo Zhige a light kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Just as Huo Zhige reached out to deepen the kiss, Fang Ruotang stepped back, causing Huo Zhige's eyes to redden. He hurriedly said, "Let me kiss you."

"No, it's dirty!" Fang Ruotang pointed and stopped Huo Zhige's large head from approaching.

Huo Zhige glared at Fang Ruotang, who was all smiles, but he couldn't really ignore her feelings and kiss her. After all, it was an undeniable fact that he had been traveling for two days and hadn't washed up.

"You just wait!"

"Hmph! It's still early! We'll see how I feel!"

Huo Zhige realized what was happening, and his anger surged to the top of his head.

"Why should I? Who is Ye Wuxia? Why should he be ahead of me? I'm not convinced! Tell him to come out and fight me. Is he as strong as me? Why should I be behind him?"

"Because he is the son-in-law of the Fang family."

"What's so great about that? When I first met you, didn't I say that I could use the betrothal gifts as dowry to enter your Fang family? If he can do it, so can I!"

Fang Ruotang blinked and whispered to the little mirror.

Did he really say that?

Please watch the replay.

The small mirror captured this segment, so Fang Ruotang read it all at a glance. Then she felt a pang of guilt, saying that in that situation, it would have been difficult for her to notice anything.

After all, she was kidnapped the first time she met Huo Zhige.

If it weren't for Xiao Jingzi mentioning him from time to time, which made her accept him in her heart, and the fact that he was good-looking and had gained a lot of points, his act of forcibly kissing her would have been considered indecent assault and violation.

She insisted that her grandfather stack him into eighteen pieces.

"Anyway, that's how it is, and we've already registered our marriage," Fang Ruotang muttered softly.

"What?"

Huo Zhige was so angry that he went from wanting to kill one person to wanting to kill two people.

The Crown Prince's plan to share the firepower was successful at this moment; at least he was no longer the target everyone was watching.

"I don't care, I want to go to the yamen to get a marriage certificate, I want one too!"

"Oh, okay!"

Huo Zhige was determined to pester Fang Ruotang until she had no choice but to agree, but she casually gave in, leaving him stunned and incredulous.

"Would you be willing to go with me to get a marriage certificate?"

"If you're good, I'll agree."

"Ha!" Huo Zhige sneered, "What do you mean by 'obedient'? How obedient do I need to be!"

"Well, at least we can't rebel! After all, I don't want the country to fall into civil war. I'm quite satisfied with my current life, you understand?"

Huo Zhige looked at Fang Ruotang with resentment, not even wanting to explain further, and only said in a low voice, "I will not recklessly start a war, you can rest assured."

"Oh, that's good! It's getting late, you should go back and get some rest!"

Huo Zhige's lips moved, but he didn't say anything more and jumped off the carriage.

Fang Ruotang got off the carriage and entered the Prime Minister's residence without looking back.

She kept trying to suppress the urge to talk to the little mirror until she was sure Huo Zhige couldn't see her, then she stopped and glanced back.

Don't you really want him anymore?

How could this be?

Why do I feel like you're treating him quite badly?

The little mirror responded sheepishly.

Fang Ruotang tilted her head and thought for a moment before explaining, "It's not that it's bad! It's just that I want to curb his arrogance. He has a bad temper and a quick temper. If I continue to indulge him, do you believe he'll cause a huge uproar?"

He's still standing at the door, looking like he's about to break.

Fang Ruotang glanced at the sky, frowned, and said to Jin Wuyou, "Could you help me find an oil-paper umbrella and send it to General Huo, and remind him to go back early?"

"Okay!" Jin Wuyou went to get an umbrella from the maid.

The little mirror started muttering again.

I think you're CPUing him.

"No! I just don't want to cause any trouble. He's too arrogant. Look at what he just said! He blurted out that he wanted to rebel. Even if it was just said in anger, is that something he should say? Even if the Crown Prince wants to be magnanimous and ignore it, what about the other ministers in court? Doesn't the Huo family have any political enemies? Besides, can the Crown Prince's personality tolerate such insolence?"

Fang Ruotang also felt a little uncomfortable. She wasn't the type of person who would force others to change their personality to accommodate her when they were with her. Because if she didn't like someone, she simply wouldn't let them into her social circle, and she didn't need to wait for the other person to change.

This suppression of Huo Zhige was not her original intention, but she knew that as long as she showed that she valued him, he would definitely turn the capital upside down.

What important event could possibly make him abandon the main force and rush back day and night?

If she didn't know at first, when he uttered the word "treason," even she, in her naivety, could guess that the only recent change in her relationship with the Crown Prince was that they had become husband and wife.

Compared to the other five people, Huo Zhige's love for her has always been high-profile.

You're so smart now!

No, it's just that I was scared when he casually mentioned the word "treason" just now.

I saw you smiling back then, so I thought you didn't care about this!

【How is that possible!】

Fang Ruotang lowered her eyes.

In the original timeline, she was already disgusted by these six men who disregarded the safety of the country and its people in their pursuit of her. How could she possibly accept it now? Therefore, even though Fang Ruotang knew that some of her words would hurt Huo Zhige, she deliberately said them to him because at that moment, she was also somewhat unable to control her emotions.
