When Yi Shuihan's mask cracked, he immediately looked at Xiao Qingyin and saw that she was indeed full of anger. His heart tightened instantly.

Is it possible that I can't win her back?

After her initial shock, Princess Xilin smiled at Emperor Chengtai and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to marry General Yi."

The entire court of officials: "..."

Hey, who was it that just said it was just a simple contest and had nothing to do with a marriage alliance?

Did you take back what you said just because you thought General Yi was good-looking?

Upon hearing this, Yi Shuihan's face darkened, and he kicked out.

Princess Xilin was caught off guard and kicked off the stage, falling hard.

"You may have misunderstood something."

Yi Shuihan stood on the arena, looking at her indifferently.

"Xilin Kingdom is a defeated country this time, not a victorious one, so it's not your place to choose a marriage partner."

After saying that, he stepped down from the arena, walked up to Xiao Qingyin, and smiled gently, "Yinyin, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Qingyin got goosebumps from his calling her "Yinyin".

Can you please stop calling me that?

They acted as if they knew each other very well.

She said calmly, "I've come to see His Majesty."

"What do you want to see His Majesty for?"

Xiao Qingyin smiled slightly: "You'll find out soon enough."

Yi Shuihan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Princess Xilin was seriously injured by Yi Shuihan's kick. After falling, she was in so much pain that she couldn't cry out. Emperor Chengtai then ordered her to be sent to the Imperial Hospital.

Emperor Chengtai was naturally very pleased that Yi Shuihan had so decisively humiliated Xilin Kingdom.

This even brought a pleasant look to Xiao Qingyin.

“Young lady of the Xiao family,” he asked, “why do you wish to see me?”
