"Wan'er, how did this turn into Cheng... he's going to offer himself to me?"

Not only the emperor was curious, but the ministers were also curious, especially Cheng Yuqing, who wanted to see what other lies this willful and capricious princess could come up with.

Xiang Wan pouted and said aggrievedly, "Father, how could you believe the rumors outside and not trust your own daughter? I went out yesterday to have some fun, but who knew that Young Master Cheng would fall headfirst in front of my carriage. Father often teaches us to love the people, so I couldn't just stand by and watch him die. I had the guards take him to the princess's residence."

"Your Majesty, I was only taking a nap when the whole capital started talking about how I, the princess, forcibly took a man from the common people. At the time, Young Master Cheng was indeed unconscious, and I thought it was more important to save him first, and we could deal with the rumors later. Who knew that Physician Zhao was so unreliable and made him faint during his diagnosis."

"Empress Dowager has already sent people to urge him to get married. In addition, Young Master Cheng is also the descendant of a loyal minister. It would be a waste to ruin our reputation. Our Yun family cannot allow people to gossip about us. Even if his health is a little... I will accept it. After all, Father Emperor has taught me so well. I don't want to be a person who breaks his promise."

Her voice trailed off, tears welling in her eyes, making her look every bit the delicate woman who would never speak of a great injustice.

Now, not only the emperor and his court officials, but even Cheng Yuqing was a little confused. Could what she said be true?

But when Cheng Yuqing glanced up and saw the glint of light in Xiang Wan's eyes, she almost choked.

In all his seventeen or eighteen years of life, this was the first time he had encountered a woman who could lie so well, and this woman was a princess!

I'm so tired. I feel like I'll never love again. No, I won't love any woman anymore!

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Lu, thinking, "How can you make such a big deal out of nothing without even asking someone to clarify things?"

Eunuch Lu raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat. What he said was true. Even Yun Shisan, who stayed in the princess's residence all day, did not know the inside story. How could he know?

"Your Majesty, why don't we summon Physician Zhao? He can find out the answer with a single question."

The emperor nodded, and Eunuch Lu quickly sent someone to invite him.

Because he missed asking one question, the father-in-law who asked for help almost ran himself ragged.

The Imperial Hospital and the Princess's residence are in opposite directions, and poor him, he was soaked in sweat in broad daylight.

Before Physician Zhao arrived, the emperor thought he should first check on his daughter.

"Cheng Yuqing, does General Cheng know about this?"

The emperor had hit her sore spot from the very first word, and with a critical look on his face, what could Cheng Yuqing say? If she didn't speak, she would offend the emperor; if she did speak the truth, she would implicate the Cheng family.

Oh well, she's just a princess anyway. Marrying her and keeping her as a decoration to ward off evil spirits is fine, though.

"Your Majesty, my grandfather has already ordered people to prepare the wedding hall."

Do you have any hidden illnesses?

Cheng Yuqing's face at this moment was beyond just black; it looked so dark that you could probably dip a calligraphy brush in it and use it to write.

He desperately wanted to die. Seriously, this father and daughter were truly infuriating.

Then, Cheng Yuqing fainted in a spectacular fashion.
