When she broke off the engagement, she was most afraid that he would mistakenly think that she wanted to curry favor with the emperor and cut off ties with him. Unexpectedly, he still thought of that.
Yun Wanyao sighed and defended herself.
"That's not the case, Your Majesty. Believe it or not, when I broke off the engagement, I never thought of clinging to the Emperor."
Before, she never knew that the emperor liked her, and she had never thought about anything happening between them.
What stood between them was never the emperor, nor the power and status, but this damn plot.
It's a pity that he will never understand.
"In other words, you think so now? Yun Wanyao, do you really want to be with my brother?"
He looked at her with gritted teeth, his brows furrowed, his eyes cold and gloomy, with deep rage suppressed in his eyes. His expression was sinister and terrifying, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach.
Yun Wanyao had never seen him look so terrifying before. She was so frightened that her heart trembled. She lowered her head and shrank into the corner of the carriage, her voice trembling.
"I, we have already broken off our engagement, who should I be with..."
"You still dare to mention this?"
Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her fiercely. He sneered and said angrily, "Yun Wanyao, I will ask you again, why do you want to cancel the engagement?"
"Stop talking nonsense about wanting to help me be with someone else. I don't need you to help me be with someone I want to be with."
"Today, if you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, I will never let you go."
Who does she think she is?
The god in charge of love? Was it her turn to arrange his feelings? There was a saying that one should die with a clear mind, so Yun Wanyao understood why he was so persistent in wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Put yourself in her shoes. If she were dumped for no apparent reason, she would probably go crazy and be in agony. She would be forever entangled and would never be able to get over this hurdle.
But the truth cannot be told to him.
If she told him that the world they lived in was just a book, he was the male protagonist and Su Qianxue was the female protagonist, they would be a destined couple.
If she keeps pestering him, not only will she die, but many others will as well. I'm afraid he will think she's crazy, right?
After a moment, she came to her senses and decided to test him with a plot.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I have been having a dream for a few days. In the dream, Su Qianxue's personality changed drastically overnight..."
"She changed her previous behavior and no longer pursued the prince relentlessly. Instead, she sneered and looked down on him every time they met."
"The change in attitude was so great that the prince was not used to it and could not help but start paying attention to her."
"So, I gradually discovered that she was completely different from the Su family's legitimate daughter that the prince had known before, and even different from all the noble ladies in Gaojing."
"She is not unlearned and illiterate as rumored. On the contrary, she knows everything and possesses many unheard-of skills."
"For some unknown reason, she suddenly began to approach the prince and took the initiative to extend an olive branch to him. The prince took the bait, and after a few interactions, their relationship became closer."
"After that, you were inseparable and fell in love with each other. It became a beautiful story and the envy of the world."
"And I have become a joke among the teahouses in the market."
"Watching you two being so affectionate every day, I became jealous and went crazy. I lost my mind."
"In order to win back the prince and keep the engagement, I used all kinds of despicable means to destroy you. In the end, I was hated by everyone and ended up dying tragically..."
Having said this, she stopped and buried her head in her arms, with an indescribable sadness lingering around her.
"So, you broke off your engagement with me just because of a dream?"
There was a moment of silence, Mo Yuanhao rolled his throat and opened his lips, his voice was low and dry, filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that the reason why she unilaterally broke off the engagement with him was... a dream?
And how could this dream be so consistent with what happened between him and Su Qianxue? This was too unbelievable.
"Yes, it's because of this dream, but this dream is too real. How can I dare to continue to be with the prince?"
Yun Wanyao raised her head and looked at him with red eyes, tears flashing in her eyes.
Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "I want to know, after hearing this dream, did the prince feel the least bit moved?"
"Don't you think that many things in this dream are consistent with the prince and Su Qianxue?"
"To be honest, Your Highness, the last time I was able to accurately predict your private dealings with Su Qianxue, it wasn't because my family sent someone to keep an eye on you. Rather, it was because I saw it in this dream."
"If my family really is keeping an eye on you, I would never be stupid enough to openly mention it to the prince."
Mo Yuanhao was silent.
He could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes and would not tolerate anyone secretly monitoring him, so after he returned that day, he sent people to investigate.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The secret guards had been following for a long time but had not found anyone with suspicious behavior near the palace.
It is very certain that the Yun family did not send anyone to monitor him.
In this case, it is rather strange that Yun Wanyao knows about him and Su Qianxue.
If this is really a dream...
Why did she dream about these things?
Mo Yuanhao frowned, his heart filled with huge doubts, and he couldn't figure it out.
But he understood one thing, that is, Yun Wanyao's statement in the dream, regardless of whether it was true or not, could explain her unilateral cancellation of the engagement.
Because she dreamed that he and Su Qianxue would fall in love with each other, but she would interfere and end up with a bad ending. Therefore, after waking up and finding out that he and Su Qianxue were really having an affair, she wanted to avoid this risk completely.
"Yun Wanyao, you can't just abandon the engagement and abandon me because of a dream. How innocent am I?"
"Dreams are fake and cannot be counted. Why didn't you explain this to me before you cancelled the engagement?"
Before this, Mo Yuanhao had been wanting to find her to get things clear. Now that he finally got the answer, he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
His engagement was defeated by a dream!
"Is the prince really innocent?"
Yun Wanyao was so angry that she almost laughed.
The reason why these things did not happen was because of the arrival of the younger sister, because the younger sister knew the plot, and they were able to hear the younger sister's voice, it was not because he was innocent.
If it weren't for my little sister, then all these things would be true.
"But the private relationship between the prince and Su Qianxue is not fake. If I don't let go in time, things will develop as I said."
"If I don't cancel the engagement soon, do I have to wait until you two fall in love with each other and find me a stumbling block and an eyesore, and then I will obediently get rid of you?"
"The prince said that I would not explain it to you before I canceled the engagement, but how can I explain it to you?"
"If I explain, will the prince agree to cancel the engagement?" (End of this chapter)
