Chapter 361: The Northern Frontier
[I haven't been in the zone these past few days and have been writing slowly. Thank you for your understanding, everyone. I'm working on replacing it!] "It's alright, why did you yell at her?"
Nalan Yujie waved her hand, clearly not taking Yuan Siyin seriously. "It's just a desperate struggle. If it weren't for the favorable situation, would she even think she could escape from this princess's grasp alive?"
Upon hearing this, Mi Shuang immediately perked up and knelt down to massage her legs: "The princess is truly brilliant. She defeated them one by one and then used transactions to keep them in check. With that, how could they possibly disobey?"
"Following behind this princess has taught you a lot to be smarter."
Having basked in the sun long enough, seen everyone she needed to see, and said her piece, Nalan Yujie suddenly lost all interest in sitting outside. She stood up and walked into the mansion. "Alright, bring the rattan chair and small table back."
The palace said that the princess suddenly felt unwell due to the change in environment and was afraid that she would not be able to travel back to the northern frontier with her brother for the time being, and would need to stay for a while longer to recuperate.
"Go to see me off in my place, just show your face."
"What about Prince Mu? Yuan Siyin, who was in the way, is gone. Isn't now the perfect time to take control of Prince Mu?"
"No rush, there's plenty of time. Anyway, I have plenty of time to wear him down and make him gradually lower his pride and compromise."
Nalan Yujie gently stroked the lily of the valley embroidered on her sleeve and smiled radiantly.

Ziyuan and Hongxiu watched helplessly as Yuan Siyin boarded the carriage of the envoy from the northern frontier. They couldn't help but grasp each other's hands and burst into tears, "Miss..."
Yuan Siyin paused for a moment, then finally turned around and smiled at them: "What's wrong? Why are you so sad?"
"Ziyuan has served Miss closely for so long, she would even go to the northern border to serve you, why..."
Zi Yuan choked up and couldn't speak.
Although she was unwilling for her mistress to go to the northern border for a political marriage, she still packed her own clothes, determined to go wherever her mistress went.
Just then, the young lady told her to take good care of everyone in the Yuan family.
"The Si family has already gone to the capital and is settling in. Send someone over to lend a hand and help them out."
I've already spoken to my cousin; if anyone makes things difficult for you, just tell the Si family. Don't let yourselves suffer.
Yuan Siyin reached out of the car window and pinched Ziyuan's face. Although her complexion was pale, she was still beautiful, and the smile on her lips was gentle, as if she had become a completely different person.
The onlookers clinging to the city wall couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement. Was this still the same arrogant and unrestrained Yuan Siyin from before?
"No matter how hard life is, it's not as hard as Miss's. Miss is going to the northern frontier for a political marriage..."
Zi Yuan's eyes were blurry with tears as she suddenly remembered Yu Shiyan, her lifeline: "Prince Mu, Prince Mu has always been very good to Miss, perhaps..."
"Silly Ziyuan, there are no such things as uncertainties."
Yuan Siyin playfully pinched her nose, and before the others could say anything more, several impatient shouts immediately came from the distant city wall: "Are you leaving or not! If you're leaving, then hurry up and leave!"
Yuan Siyin slowly looked up, seemingly surprised that someone would send her off in this way.
That makes sense, after all, she was a powerful figure in the capital.
With her leading the commotion, the ringleaders naturally rallied to her cause. People who had grudges against her or not started shouting in unison, "Yuan Siyin, get out of the capital! Nobody here will tolerate you!"
"You disgrace to the capital! You deserve to be sent away for a political marriage! What goes around comes around, and now your retribution has finally come to you, Yuan Siyin!"
The envoys waiting by the carriage frowned impatiently and sent men to take Ziyuan and Hongxiu away, muttering under their breath, "With such a bad reputation, who knows how many evil deeds they have done."
