"You really don't mean to abandon me?"

Xiao Qing didn't seem to believe what I said, and actually I didn't believe it either, but if I didn't say it like that, she definitely wouldn't leave.

I could only nod frantically to show that what I said was true, but who knows what the future holds?

Now, all I want is for her to leave, all I want is for her to live. I don't care about myself anymore. I've already walked through the gates of hell once, so I'm not afraid to go through it again.

Seeing my sincere words and expression, Xiao Qing left. Princess Anguo then pulled me aside and said:

"Thank you for your consideration, big sister. I will definitely protect you."

I suppose she was just saying that to herself. I don't believe it. She probably still hopes to get back together with Luo Qingyun. Women are so naive. Even now, she still has illusions.

"It's alright, it's alright, do as you please."

So far, Princess Anguo has been quite polite to me, so I naturally have to treat her with the same courtesy.

As long as Ji Ruchen is alright, I'll take my life as I please. We have many children in our family, so I'm not worried about who will take care of my father in his old age.

The royal palace of the Wing Kingdom at this time was no longer as grand and solemn as it was when I first came here. It looked like a lion that had been beaten and was now dejected, with broken roots and ravines everywhere.

"Big sister, we've arrived."

Just as I was lamenting how time flies and never returns, I heard Princess Anguo say this.

I obediently followed behind Princess Anguo without saying a word. Princess Anguo walked straight towards the main hall, and I followed closely behind.

Ji Ruchen stood in the center of the hall, his body covered in blood, his posture so upright and straight, unlike anything I had ever seen before. His blood-stained, purplish-black court robes were not the Ji Ruchen I remembered.

He was a complete stranger.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. May I ask what urgent matter Your Majesty has summoned me for?"

Princess Anguo, who was beside me, curtsied to the king and queen, showing no respect whatsoever, but rather arrogance.

"Sheng'er, do you know about the Crown Prince's plot to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate with the help of the Imperial Uncle Qiu Jing? If you do not know, I will immediately grant you a divorce from him and bestow upon you a marriage to my second prince, Ji'an.

The high and mighty King of Yi treated his daughter-in-law with such care.

But who exactly is this Ji An? Ji Ruchen has never mentioned that he has a younger brother.

That's really strange.

"Your Highness is unaware of what you have done. Your Highness never discusses official matters with me. As for the divorce, I have no objection as long as Your Highness agrees."

However, this matter of bestowing a marriage upon me probably still needs to be discussed with my father; I cannot make this decision on my own.”

What is this princess up to? Didn't she say she brought me to Ji Ruchen? Why does she want to divorce Ji Ruchen now?

And why would Ji Ruchen inexplicably force the emperor to abdicate and rebel? He is the crown prince and the only son of Emperor Yi. After a hundred years, the throne will naturally be his. Why would he risk his life to exchange for something that will belong to him sooner or later? That doesn't make sense.

Even if Emperor Yi's son suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it wouldn't have much impact on his succession to the throne.

What exactly happened?

"That's natural. In that case, you don't need to go back to the Crown Prince's residence anymore. From today onwards, you can stay at Xiaoxiang Pavilion for the time being. After I finish dealing with these matters, I will definitely write to your father to say hello and wish our two countries to be friendly forever."

Emperor Yi seemed to have expected Princess Anguo to agree, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
