Chapter 364 Smile
"Sister-in-law!" Huo Yanran suddenly heard Chunzhi ask this, her face flushed. "I am a princess, supported by thousands of people. I have selfish desires, but I can't just be selfish..."
Chunzhi looked at Huo Yanran steadily, trying to see something in her eyes.
But the little princess didn't do this just for Liu Tanhua.
When she was in the capital, Huo Yanran asked to marry to Beili, partly for her mother and seventh brother.
At this moment, she was also half doing it for the thousands of people and those in the wedding procession.
Some things in life are really difficult. You have to have selfish desires but consider the overall situation. You want to be with your loved one for life, but you can't just think about yourself and act on your own whim.
Huo Yanran met Chunzhi's gaze and said, "I have my seventh brother and sister-in-law who are willing to travel thousands of miles for me. This life is worth it. Marrying into Beili is the path I chose, and I am willing to endure everything for it..."
"Princess--"
When Liu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt her.
For a moment, Liu Tanhua wanted to go to Xizhou with the princess, but his responsibility prevented him from abandoning the people in the wedding procession.
Those are real lives. If the people of Beili really believe the people of Xiling and determine that it was Prince Chang'an who came to Beili and took away Princess Changning, then I am afraid that none of the people in the wedding procession will be able to return to Daxing alive.
Moreover, the Xiling people's frame-up was successful by accident. The princess was indeed taken away by the Chang'an couple. If this matter gets out of hand in the future, there will be no peace in Xizhou anymore.
Huo Yanran didn't want to implicate her seventh brother and sister-in-law, so she was unwilling to go to Xizhou and would rather continue to head towards the Beili Royal Court.
Huo Zheng naturally understood what his sister was thinking. He did not object immediately, but simply asked again, "Yanran, have you really thought it through?"
Huo Yanran said very seriously, "I've really thought it through, Seventh Brother."
The little princess said, "It's very likely that those who ambushed us in the valley today were from Xiling. If I go with you to Xizhou now, wouldn't that be fulfilling the Xiling people's wishes?"
Daxing's wedding procession was in Beili, and the lives of so many people depended on her decision. Huo Yanran really couldn't abandon them.
Chunzhi wanted to persuade her again, but she also knew that although Yanran looked well-behaved and docile, she was actually a very opinionated person at heart.
Now that she has made her decision, she will not change her mind.
Chunzhi thought so and looked up at Huo Zheng, "Since Yanran and Liu Tanhua are unwilling to return to Xizhou with us, then we will send them to Beili Royal Court together."
"That's exactly what I meant." Huo Zheng met Chunzhi's gaze.
The couple are of one mind.
They all thought that even if Yanran and Liu Tanhua were unwilling to go to Xizhou, they could not let them go to the Beili Royal Court like this.
Now that I'm here, I have to pave the way for Yanran.
At least she can't fall into the Xiling people's trap.
She should be given the right to choose her husband in the Beili Royal Court, so that she would not have to suffer the pain of marrying a second time, and even... let her choose a Beili prince to get engaged first, and find a way to postpone the wedding date for a few years. After a few years, when the situation in Daxing changes, Huo Zheng can return to the capital to take control of the situation and then bring Yanran back safely.
In just a few breaths, Huo Zheng had already thought a lot, and according to Yanran's current idea, he would move forward like this.
As an older brother, he will naturally leave a way out for his sister.
Chunzhi and Huo Zheng have a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other without him having to say it too clearly.
Huo Yanran was so moved by her seventh brother and sister-in-law that her eyes were red, but she tried hard not to cry.
When she is a younger sister, she can be weak, afraid of death, and cry whenever she wants.
However, as Princess Daxing, if she wants to shoulder the responsibilities of a princess, she cannot cry all the time. She must be strong inside and remain calm and composed.
So Huo Yanran forced herself to hold back.
Just crying silently in my heart.
Huo Zheng ordered in a deep voice: "Turn around and return to the valley where the princess was attacked!"
"Yes!" The secret guard driving the carriage in front immediately responded, turned his horse's head and galloped away in the opposite direction.
Upon seeing this, the secret guards quickly followed on horseback.
"Seventh Brother..." Huo Yanran saw that her Seventh Brother said nothing and had entered the game just for her. She couldn't help but feel worried. "Seventh Brother and Sister-in-law shouldn't be in Beili. If the people of Beili and my father knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous. You should return to Xizhou as soon as possible. Don't worry too much about me. I can handle the rest of the matter myself."
When Huo Zheng heard this, his handsome face darkened slightly and he said, "Huo Yanran, did you really ever treat me as your brother?"
"Seventh Brother, what are you talking about?" Huo Yanran sat up straight. "Of course I sincerely regard you as my brother. You are my only brother."
The emperor has many children, but to Huo Yanran, the only one she truly loves is Huo Zheng.
This was the first time in the little princess's memory that her seventh brother called her by her full name, and asked her such a serious question.
Huo Yanran couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Huo Zheng's expression was still somewhat grim. "You really treat me as your brother and don't listen to me?"
"I……"
Huo Yanran wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She really didn't know how to deal with such a Seventh Brother.
"Alright." Chunzhi said at the right time, "You came all the way to Beili, are you here to show your displeasure to your sister?"
Huo Zheng's expression immediately softened after hearing what Chunzhi said, though he still felt a little unhappy. "Listen to what she just said?"
Chunzhi said softly, "Yanran is worried about you too."
When Huo Yanran heard this, she immediately nodded heavily, "Sister-in-law knows me."
It’s great to have a sister-in-law.
Otherwise, the atmosphere would become cold before she and Seventh Brother could even exchange a few words.
After Huo Zheng asked this, Huo Yanran felt reluctant to urge her and Chunzhi to return to Xizhou. The little princess thought about it and gave Liu Tanhua a wink.
Liu Yan received it and said to the two of them: "Prince and Princess——"
"Lord Liu, there is no need to say more." Huo Zheng said, "You don't listen to me, and I don't want to hear any more from you."
Liu Yan was speechless for a moment.
Huo Yanran didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Chunzhi and ask her sister-in-law for help.
"Lord Liu has his responsibilities. As Yanran's seventh brother and sister-in-law, Huo Zheng and I also have things we should do for our sister."
Liu Yan nodded slightly and said no more.
Huo Yanran sniffed and called out, "Seventh Brother."
Huo Zheng ignored her, and the little princess turned and called out "Sister-in-law."
"It's okay." Chunzhi comforted her gently, "He was just pretending, but he really cares about you."
"Really?" Huo Yanran turned to look at Seventh Brother, trying to read something from his expressionless face.
However, I really can't see anything.
Huo Yanran secretly complained to herself, "With Seventh Brother looking like this, who could possibly understand what he was thinking?"
Chunzhi raised her hand and tapped the corner of Huo Zheng's lips, "Why do you always have a stern face? Come on, smile for your sister."
