Suddenly, a sword slashed across her neck. Yunzhu clutched her neck and looked at him in disbelief.

"You dare to hurt me? Don't you want your brother's corpse anymore?"

Nie Jue's thin lips were pressed tightly together, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "I think my brother might prefer you to go down and keep him company."

He raised his hand, the sword in his hand about to pierce Yunzhu's body, when the soldiers outside the Third Princess's residence suddenly pointed in their direction and shouted, "What are you two doing there?"

Nie Jue sheathed his sword, grabbed Yun Zhu by the collar, and left at lightning speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

...

Before Nanzhi's injuries had even healed, the imperial edict appointing him as crown prince had already spread throughout the entire capital.

The people were shocked by the news, and those who were aligned with the Third Princess were even more surprised and shocked.

What terrified them even more was that the third princess, who had been imprisoned, had escaped.

Everyone was afraid that the Third Princess would come looking for them, so during this time, all the princesses and their ministers who had previously been on good terms with the Third Princess kept their doors tightly shut and refused to see any guests.

You were the one who suggested a year, weren't you?

“Royal sister, how could you dare?” the Eighth Princess assured her repeatedly. “Before, you all listened to him.”

"I am afraid. Take me to see me."

"I also said that I regretted marrying you."

What I'm saying is—

The Emperor thought that Nanzhi would be happy to accept, but you said, "Mother, the Fourth Prince is a very wrong person, but I think marriage is a small matter that can be carefully considered. Can you give me another year to get to know each other better, and then we can decide whether I will marry him?"

Although we cannot let Duoxi make the choice.

However, only Sheng's mother came out to receive them.

Nanzhi knew what you wanted to hear, and you said with a sad face, "Father said that I miss you very much and that I want you to visit me less often, but I dare not tell you this in person, because I am afraid you will agree."

“Prince, the marriage has been decided, and you can no longer choose the eldest princess for the marriage.”

Nanzhi takes on the role that you all play: "He obeys you, he obeys the law, he obeys the Queen Mother."

"It is proper etiquette." The Emperor held your hand, inquired about your well-being, and then suddenly mentioned Duoxi.

Upon hearing what the Crown Prince said, Madam Sheng quickly looked at Nan Zhi and smiled mischievously: "Princess, you heard it too, my son is indeed quite ill."

Just as Nanzhi was about to bow, you pulled her up.

You thought Nanzhi hadn't given up on the Crown Prince, but I never imagined you still had feelings for him.

Nan Zhi completely ignored you and stretched out her hand: "Liang'er, here's the veil for you."

"Fourth Prince, His Majesty the Emperor hopes that you can marry the Eldest Princess. However, after the marriage, they need to spend a year together. It doesn't mean that you can't consider who to marry before you have a year."

But the male emperor always makes the decision.

Seeing this, we all dared not go down again.

Why does my chest feel so tight?

*

You tentatively asked, "...After his father passed away, did he say anything to him?"

Looking at Nanzhi sitting in the head seat, she thought of something and flattered her, "Elder sister, I knew you had the potential to be Yunzhu, and it's true."

Duo Xi patted his heart, which was beating even harder than usual, his eyes shining brightly.

Mother Sheng watched in shock as Nan Zhi walked away.

The envoy looked around and, seeing that someone had overheard, turned to Duoxi and said, "Fourth Prince, the Eighth Princess is now a taboo subject. Please don't mention her again."

You gently stroked Nanzhi's eyebrows and eyes.

You are Yue, the official in charge of imperial edicts by the Emperor's side. You are here to convey the Emperor's decree.

Nanzhi put on her veil and looked at Shengmu: "Now I'm afraid of getting infected, so I can't go?"

Nanzhi didn't even glance at her.

Hearing you mention the Crown Prince, Madam Sheng's eyes were filled with regret.

Nan Zhi's humble yet arrogant demeanor reminded the male emperor of his consort.

One year, and everything will be the same by then.

Liang'er quickly took out the veil.

The envoy leaned closer to me and said, "A message has come from here urging you to slow down your choice, so Your Highness, you should choose the eldest princess now."

No sooner had the envoy finished speaking than a voice came from inside the door.

The Princess's residence was almost completely filled.

Upon hearing this, the emperor felt a pang of pain in his heart: "Not yet?"

The seventh princess chuckled awkwardly and went to the side.

"Oh no, Mother Queen agreed to it."

"I do not like pearls."

Seeing your cowardly appearance, Nan Zhi thought of something and warned, "You know very well how Xiaojia will treat you in the future. Don't worry about them. You will retaliate against them, but the worst that can happen is that they behave themselves before. If they dare to collude with Sheng Yan again, you will be lenient."

The emperor's eyes reddened, and he patted your back heavily, saying, "I understand."

"Yan'er, the Princess has come to see him. Open the door."

Those princesses who once looked down on her now all had fawning expressions on their faces.

Nanzhi smiled and said, "Look, even Seventh Sister doesn't have the potential to be a fence-sitter."

But thinking of the Crown Prince, you can only sigh and say, "My son's cold has just gotten milder; I'm afraid he might infect the princess."

Nanzhi gave Liang'er a look, and Liang'er immediately stepped down and pushed open the door.

You wondered why, that day, when you were feeling unwell, you went to the Sheng residence to see me in person.

The princesses all nodded: "Yes."

...

[There definitely wasn't a past life; you're destined to meet again.]

"I intend to arrange a marriage between the two of them. What do you think?"

As Duo Xi watched my departing figure, the smile on her lips gradually warmed, but she fell silent.

The envoy glanced at Duo Xi, who was lounging lazily on the bench, and couldn't help but remind him.

The envoy's face turned very ugly.

Mother Sheng hesitated, "Then..."

On the other hand, countless people visit Namzhi every day.

Nanzhi's words made the emperor feel both regretful and guilty, so as soon as you returned, you sent someone with a bunch of rare treasures.

There's less chance of something going wrong.

In reality, the original owner's father never said those things.

You hate yourself, you hate how heartless you are.

During the time that Nan Zhi was recuperating, the Crown Prince was seen visiting you several times.

The envoy stormed off in a huff.

When you embrace Nanzhi, it's as if you're embracing your deceased royal consort.

Duo Xi laughed: "He thinks it's you who should choose."

Arriving at Yanfa's room, Sheng's mother went downstairs and knocked on the door.

The fifth princess had no choice but to take the pearl back.

After Xiaguan Yue finished speaking, she left.

“Princess, is it possible…” Madam Sheng was somewhat excited and wanted to find an excuse to cover it up, but then she saw Nan Zhi get up, her eyes warm, and she gestured for you to lead the way.

She presented Nam Gyi with a collection of pearls she had previously collected.

With a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, Duo Xi casually asked, "So, you're being asked to choose the Eighth Princess?"

Before Nam Gyi's health deteriorated, the King came to see you immediately.

It looks just like it, so much like it.

So good.

The previous chapter for you guys was reviewed.

"Yes, you all listen to your elder sister."

The fifth princess was the first to be affected.

Mother Sheng had no choice but to lead the way from behind.

There was a moment of silence outside, then a hoarse voice rang out: "Please tell the Princess that my illness is contagious, and please go back."
