Dugu Xin looked at his Crown Princess Qin Yuan in confusion. Qin Yuan's pretty face turned red when he looked at her, and Dugu Xin curled his lips.
"My beloved concubine, if you have something to say, just speak frankly. There is nothing that should or should not be said."
Qin Yuan stopped talking and asked directly after hearing this.
"Your Highness, since you have already married both of us, why are you unwilling to consummate the marriage with us?"
Dugu Xin coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, then looked at the equally curious concubine Sun Miaomiao.
"If you marry me, you and I will become one."
"Even if I don't tell you, you all know how much the Queen fears me."
"Over the years, the Queen has relied on her mother's family's influence to bully me. Especially after the former Crown Prince passed away, the Queen has become even more aggressive."
"My marriage with you was driven by profit, which is already very unfair to you."
"If I consummate my marriage with you again, if anything happens to me, you will have no other way out."
Sun Miaomiao spoke frankly, "So, Your Highness is actually doing this for our own good?"
Dugu Xin looked at her coldly, and Sun Miaomiao shrank back, but for the sake of her own lifelong happiness, she still mustered up the courage to look at Dugu Xin.
"Your Highness, do you know how the servants in the palace gossiped about you behind our backs when you didn't consummate your marriage with us?"
"Your Highness, you know that now that we're married, there's no turning back."
"If we can no longer obtain the favor of my husband, how difficult will our lives be?"
"Besides, Your Highness also said that the Queen has been suppressing you to the utmost. So why don't you let us conceive a child as soon as possible?"
Dugu Xin's face looked a little ugly, and Qin Yuan had to speak slowly when she saw this.
"Your Highness, although what Sister Sun said is blunt, it is not without reason."
"It's true that the two of us married His Highness out of personal gain, but since His Highness loves us, why not let love take precedence over personal gain?"
"I know that Your Highness already has a sweetheart in his heart, but she has already married and has children, so it is impossible for her to be with Your Highness."
Qin Yuan finished speaking, ignoring Sun Miaomiao's curious look, and then continued.
"Your Highness, even if you don't consider us, you should at least consider yourself more."
Qin Yuan stopped talking after she finished speaking. The scene was a little awkward for a while. After a long time, Dugu Xin finally spoke.
"What the Crown Princess said is very true. I was not thoughtful enough."
"However, I have more important things to do right now. Let's talk about consummating the marriage after I come back."
Sun Miaomiao wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Qin Yuan.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Sister Sun and I will take care of the affairs of the Eastern Palace."
Dugu Xin nodded, then gave the two of them a few brief instructions and let them leave.
After leaving Dugu Xin's bedroom, Sun Miaomiao looked at Qin Yuan with some anger.
"What do you mean? Why didn't you let me speak just now?"
"Also, how did you know that His Highness has a sweetheart? Who is that woman?"
Qin Yuan looked at the somewhat arrogant Sun Miaomiao with a hint of displeasure on her face.
However, when he thought about how he would need her help next, he had to patiently explain.
"His Highness is a man who values his promises. Since he said he would consummate our marriage upon his return, then there's no doubt that this is the case."
"As for who your Highness's sweetheart is, didn't your father tell you?"
"But, as I said, that person is already married and has children. She poses no threat to you or me."
"If you want to focus on her, you might as well focus more on His Highness."
Sun Miaomiao snorted coldly, but she knew that Qin Yuan had been smart since she was a child, and no matter what she said, she could not beat her.
After glaring at Qin Yuan in dissatisfaction, Sun Miaomiao took her maid back to the bedroom.
After Sun Miaomiao left, Qin Yuan stared at Dugu Xin's bedroom in silence for a while.
It was not until the maid reminded her that she took her away.
After the two girls left, Dugu Xin simply tidied himself up, changed into going-out clothes, and took Han Yu out of the palace overnight.
After speeding on the road for three days, Dugu Xin and Han Yu finally arrived at the foot of Cangwu Mountain.
Just as he was about to get closer, he was stopped by several armored soldiers.
"Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area? How brave!"
Dugu Xin had simply concealed his appearance at this moment, so no one recognized his identity.
"Big brother, we are hunters from the foot of Cangwu Mountain. We are here to hunt today."
The soldier glared at the two of them with a ferocious look on his face, and then said impatiently.
"Get out of here, hunting is not allowed here, go do whatever you need to do."
A cold light flashed in Dugu Xin's eyes. Han Yu hurried forward and quietly handed the man some silver.
"Brother, please be kind. We have always made a living by hunting. If we are not allowed to hunt, how are we going to survive?"
The man weighed the silver in his hand, and his expression became much better.
"It's not that we don't want you to go up, but the higher-ups have ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave here."
"However, since you are so straightforward, I will tell you the truth."
"You definitely can't climb up this mountain, but there's a big river behind it."
"A lot of rare creatures have appeared in the river recently. If you're capable, you can catch some and exchange them for money."
After the man finished speaking, he leaned over and whispered a few more words in Han Yu's ear. Han Yu immediately thanked him with a smile, then took Dugu Xin and left.
After they walked a little further away, Han Yu relayed the man's words to Dugu Xin.
