"Have you heard anything about his condition from other people?" Qian Muxue asked anxiously, wishing she could fly in and see for herself.

Nian'er shook her head and muttered, "Most of what those doctors say can't be trusted. They all say that the War King is too badly injured to stand up, and that the Emperor's arranged marriage is between two useless people!"

"Alright, that's enough, let's go back!" Qian Muxue roared, then calmly lowered the carriage curtain.

Nian'er knew that her mistress was in a bad mood, paused for a moment, and then ran to the Prince Zhan's mansion again.

Not far away, the master and servant witnessed this scene. Even a pig could see that the young lady of the Qian family's beloved was none other than the War King.

A monster!

She certainly has something attractive about her; even after all this, the second young lady of the Qian family still seems so devoted.

Seeing this scene, Qian Youxue actually felt a little sour and uncomfortable.

Ptooey!

What she was thinking was nothing but playing along. How could Qian Youxue be so pathetic as to be bewitched by a devil?

She knew that the emperor was ruthless, and the war king was even more so. She knew she must never fall for such men; they were just exchanging favors, each with their own needs. This thought made her feel a little better.

"Master, the vinegar is a bit sour!" Yunhe playfully nudged her mistress's arm, revealing that her mistress still harbored some feelings for the King of War.

"What nonsense are you talking about? He's a good-for-nothing now. Does he deserve me? Humph!" Qian Youxue raised her head like a proud peacock and deliberately turned away from the carriage.

hehe……

Yunhe covered her mouth, no longer teasing her mistress. She stared at the carriage, waiting for Nian'er to return, and then focused on eavesdropping on their conversation.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally left. Qian Youxue and Yunhe followed the carriage in the direction it had gone, keeping their distance, and returned to the Qian residence.

Inside the mansion, an uninvited guest had been waiting for a long time.

Upon hearing that Qian Muxue had returned, Qian Sheng immediately instructed Qian Mo to bring her over, while he himself bowed and scraped as he served the Crown Prince, who had been there for some time.

"Prime Minister, this is a great opportunity. If you don't seize it, don't blame me." The Crown Prince stated his purpose as soon as he arrived. He had expected Qian Sheng to be overjoyed, but after hearing this, Qian Sheng sat there with a worried look on his face.

How could Qian Sheng not worry?

Qian Youxue was betrothed to the War King, and he didn't even know how to tell his mother about the marriage. Now, the Crown Prince has come to discuss Qian Muxue's entry into the palace so quickly.

In the past, he could be so happy that he couldn't sleep for days, but now he's so worried that he can't sleep tonight.

Why?

Because the Empress and the War King have always been at odds, and their two daughters each married one of them, if the two sons-in-law really start fighting, what good will it be for him, the father-in-law?

Most importantly, Qian Youxue's current status is special, so even if she has a child, it's impossible for the child to take the Qian family name.

"Is the Prime Minister having any reservations because of the marriage between the Prince of War and Qian Youxue?" The Crown Prince wasn't stupid; he finally thought of this.

Qian Sheng knew he couldn't hide the Crown Prince's shrewdness, so he simply admitted it frankly: "Your Highness is so understanding. Now that the Prince of War has encountered this incident, and the Emperor has already betrothed Qian Youxue to the Prince of War, it would be impractical to ask the Emperor for another marriage."

"This matter need not trouble the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister only needs to confirm Mu Xue's status as the legitimate daughter, and the Empress Dowager will certainly help me with other matters." The Crown Prince thought that Qian Sheng was hesitating about which side to take, but it turned out that he was just worried that his father would not issue an edict.

Qian Sheng wondered why the Empress had changed her mind so quickly, since she had previously forced the Crown Prince to marry Qian Youxue.
