Gao Yufei thought she had crossed her bottom line. As a princess of the Northern Desert, her status in the Northern Desert was actually higher than that of a princess because her father was the regent.
Now that she's willing to be a secondary wife and even wants to use her identity from the Northern Desert to help the Crown Prince secure his position in the Eastern Palace, this is truly a great thing.
She thought, "The Crown Princess can't keep being so unreasonable!"
However, what she received in return was a sarcastic remark from Su Liluo.
"Your Northern Desert is nothing but a defeated foe of my Great Liang. How could His Highness the Crown Prince possibly care about your help? If you have the ability, go and tell the Crown Prince that if he is willing to marry you, I will give you my position as Crown Princess!"
"you......"
Gao Yufei was speechless after being rebuked.
If the Crown Prince agrees, will she still come to see her?
That's why she had no choice but to come to the Crown Princess, since the Crown Prince was unwilling and her father couldn't help her for the time being.
This Crown Princess is so infuriating!
Before Gao Yufei could figure out what to say next, Su Liluo's figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence, and Gao Yufei could only return to her residence in a huff.
She galloped along the way, feeling increasingly wronged. In her more than ten years in the Northern Desert, she had never been so humiliated and rejected.
You should know that she was pursued by many noble young men in the Northern Desert, but she didn't see anyone who suited her.
Those noble children were either good-looking but too weak in martial arts, or they were highly skilled in martial arts but too ugly.
She finally came to Daliang and met Crown Prince Xiao Ye, who captivated her at first sight, but he already had a wife and refused to marry her.
Even though she kept lowering herself, she was unwilling, which made the once proud Gao Yufei feel really frustrated.
Before she knew it, her eyes were already red and swollen when she returned to the mansion.
"Feifei, what's wrong with you?"
As Gao Yufei turned the corner in the corridor, she ran into her brother, Gao Junning, who looked at her with concern as her eyes reddened.
"Waaah, brother..."
Hearing Gao Junning's caring words, Gao Yufei's defenses crumbled, and she burst into tears.
"What exactly happened?"
Seeing his younger sister crying so sadly, Gao Junning immediately scolded the maid behind Gao Yufei.
The maids had no choice but to recount Gao Yufei's visit to the Crown Princess.
“Brother, I’ve already said all this, but she still won’t agree and even mocks me. What should I do? In all my years of life, I’ve only seen one man like the Crown Prince of Liang, a man I want to marry.”
If I don't marry him, I don't know who else I can marry in the future.
Gao Yufei cried.
"Feifei, how about we find someone else? There are plenty of good-looking people in the world, and it doesn't have to be the crown prince. Don't cry, brother will keep an eye out for you, okay?"
When Gao Junning learned that his sister was acting this way because she wanted to marry the Crown Prince, he couldn't help but feel worried.
If it were an ordinary man, he would have helped his sister snatch the man away, but he was a prince, so even if he forcibly took him, it wouldn't work!
Especially since this crown prince is quite powerful, I might not be able to defeat him.
Therefore, he could only persuade his sister to give up.
"Brother, I don't want anyone else, I only want this Crown Prince of Liang! Only he is worthy of me!"
When Gao Yufei heard Gao Junning advising her to give up, she immediately retorted excitedly.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never failed to get anything she likes.
The more she couldn't have this prince, the more she wanted him.
She felt she would be unhappy forever if she couldn't win over the Crown Prince of Liang.
"But as you saw, even Father intervened, even bringing out the Snow Lotus, but he still failed. Sister, listen to your brother's advice, there are plenty of men in this world—"
"No, I want him! Brother, it would be good for you if I could marry this Crown Prince! You should know that the Crown Prince of Liang is the most outstanding prince among the current princes and kings of Liang."
If I marry him, you can use his power to secure your position as crown prince. The reason your father hasn't made you crown prince yet is because he hasn't gotten rid of that bastard child, isn't it?
Are you going to wait for your father to find that bastard and bring him back to replace you as the crown prince? There's still no news of that bastard, so he must still be alive!
"Brother, we're in Daliang now. If we could get in touch with the Crown Prince and have him help you find that bastard child, then killing him would be much easier, wouldn't it?"
Before Gao Junning could finish speaking, Gao Yufei interrupted him sharply and began to patiently persuade him.
When Gao Junning heard his sister mention their father's illegitimate child, his own thoughts began to stir.
Yes, in fact, the king still had another son in his heart.
He is already eighteen years old, but his father only asked for the title of Princess for his sister, but not for the title of Heir Apparent for himself. Why is that?
Isn't it all because of that bastard child?
If it weren't for my mother poisoning that bastard and framing him while my father was away, allowing him to escape, my father might have already made that bastard the heir!
He wasn't born to my mother, so why should he steal my position as heir apparent?
He knew that his father was still secretly sending people to find that bastard child.
When my mother's people searched for him, they found that the bastard had disappeared after escaping to Daliang.
He had to find this bastard before his father and kill him, so that he wouldn't be allowed to usurp his position as crown prince.
"But the Crown Prince doesn't like you, how can we force him?"
Gao Junning's attitude wavered slightly, and he sighed helplessly.
"Brother, didn't the Imperial Advisor once have those Gu worms that can control people's minds? Could you help me get them for the Imperial Advisor and put the Gu worms on the Crown Prince so that he will fall in love with me?"
"You mean the mind-controlling Gu?"
Gao Junning realized what was happening and remembered the old national advisor who had retired to his hometown in the northern desert.
That old imperial advisor was like the Imperial Observatory in the Northern Desert, but his abilities far surpassed those of the Imperial Observatory in the Great Liang. He was not only skilled in observing celestial phenomena, but also in crafting various forms of witchcraft and sorcery.
More importantly, this old imperial advisor had once taught him for a period of time at his mother's request, so the two had some affection for each other.
His mother once told them that when she was pursuing her father, he always refused. She originally planned to ask the old imperial advisor for this mind-controlling Gu so that her father would fall in love with her.
However, the day before she was to ask for the money, her father suddenly changed his attitude and accepted her mother, so she gave up the idea.
However, this also made them realize that there is a kind of mind-controlling curse in this world that can make someone who doesn't love you fall in love with you.
“Alright, I’ll go write a letter to the old Grand Preceptor right now and ask him to give us the Heart-Eating Gu. I’ll help you, brother.”
Gao Junning nodded in agreement.
