The Crown Prince then gave the Princess a casual reply.
A cold and heartless statement
No!
It's not so much cold-hearted as realistic and cruel, but rather so cruel that it brought back memories of her mother's death during childbirth.
"A king once sent his daughter to marry a foreign ruler in exchange for peace in the land."
“Powerful ministers sent their daughters to marry into the state in exchange for shared benefits.”
"If even one's own daughter can pave the way for one's future and power, why can't a mere lady? My elder sister, what's wrong with you lately? Why can't you even understand these things?" the Crown Prince asked worriedly.
The princess's face suddenly turned pale.
She shook her head, simply said "I see," and then took her leave.
yes.
What's wrong with her lately?
How can you not even understand these most basic interests?
The younger brother, the Crown Prince, had loved Cheng Xianyi deeply for so many years. But in the end, when faced with a marriage alliance between a 500,000-strong army and the Cheng family, didn't the younger brother also choose the 500,000-strong army without hesitation?
Could it be... because she saw Zhou Cheng's example? Is she too deeply entangled?
"Zhou Cheng".
"If you only loved Miss Cheng, if you were the Emperor's brother, if you were the Marquis of Pingyang, would you abandon Miss Cheng for power and your future? Would you be as mercenary as them?"
"And what exactly is the reason you rushed to the capital despite everything?"

Could it be that the heartwarming details Zhou Cheng did for Cheng Xianyi touched her heart, making her start to fantasize about meeting someone like Zhou Cheng who would love her in the future?
ridiculous,
Stop thinking about it.

Yan Kingdom, Wangcheng.
This is the only route from the border to the capital.
Similarly, it is also the intersection of Pingyang City and the capital.
Wangcheng is not far from the capital and is an important district of Yan Kingdom. Its prosperity is comparable to half of the capital. The local official stationed in Wangcheng was once a retainer of the Zhou family and had a good relationship with them.
"You said a group of people entered Wangcheng, and judging from their appearance, it was Zhou Cheng and his men?"
"really?"
"Zhou Cheng is actually going to the capital to snatch a woman for marriage!" When Prefect Xia learned from the guards that Zhou Cheng had arrived in Wangcheng, he was so shocked that he jumped up from his seat.
In a short time, Prefect Xia considered many pros and cons and weighed the current situation.
He recalled the terrifying weapon described by his friend, the magistrate of Lituo County.
Remembering that the imperial court had sent several groups of people but failed to capture Zhou Cheng,
She also recalled that she used to have a fairly good relationship with the Zhou family...
"Those weapons are so terrifying that even His Majesty is wary of them. If Zhou Cheng has enough weapons, and they are powerful enough, can the Imperial Guards of the capital really stop him from leaving?"
Will the situation in Yan Kingdom change because of Zhou Cheng...?
"Perhaps this is an opportunity. If I seize it, I might be able to elevate the Xia family to a higher level."
Prefect Xia stood up and paced back and forth, his face very solemn.
