"It's not that I understand, it's just a feeling." Wei Hanzhang didn't realize the implication of the other person's words at all, and said to himself: "I always feel that someone who looks like that shouldn't be a heartless person."

Before this, she didn't know that she had the ability to recognize people by their faces.

The smile on Xiao Junzhan's lips gradually faded. He looked at the situation on the chessboard without saying a word.

As if thinking of something, Wei Hanzhang asked in confusion: "Since he divorced his wife and married another for power, shouldn't he treat the princess better? Why do they always quarrel?"

"Why does Ranran always care so much about other people's affairs?"

Xiao Junzhan said calmly, "Things in this world are not black and white. The Qi family took the initiative to divorce his wife based on their superiors' intentions, but that doesn't mean Qi Mingrui really has no feelings for his first wife. There have always been people who gave up other things for power and regretted it after gaining power."

"It is more likely that he did not want to divorce his first wife. Perhaps the Duke of Qi was concerned about the future of his family and ordered his son to divorce his wife."

Wei Hanzhang was slightly stunned after hearing the two possibilities he mentioned. He said with a complicated expression, "If it's the latter, then he is very pitiful, being forced into a heartless man."

And it all started because the royal princess fell in love at first sight.

Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. His Majesty has expressed some meaning. Does the Duke of Qi dare not continue? Thinking of the ending of the Purple Marquis's Mansion, Wei Hanzhang's expression became more complicated. He couldn't help but look up at the opposite side, and happened to meet his gaze.

Xiao Junzhan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I was just thinking," Wei Hanzhang no longer had the heart to analyze the chess game. He picked up the teacup in front of him and whispered, "I was just thinking that the royal family is so domineering."

Not only did he rob the man of his wife, he also wiped out the entire family.

She remembered that Wei Hansu had also wanted to use her power to force Chen Zishu to marry her, so she frowned, put down her teacup, and said, "Relationships between men and women should be based on mutual consent. Using power to force people is the most annoying thing."

If he was really forced to divorce his original wife, then it is no wonder that Prince Qi and Princess Changle were not on good terms and had frequent quarrels.

It would be strange if a happy family of three could live in harmony when the wife and son died.

Anyway, the most innocent one is the Purple Marquisate. What the royal family did was really disgraceful.

She just listened to other people's stories and mumbled something casually, but Xiao Junzhan's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously covered her hand and said, "Why does Ranran always like to talk about other people's affairs?"

Wei Hanzhang was slightly stunned when his hand was wrapped in the man's warm palm. He subconsciously tried to pull it back, but failed.

She didn't always mention others. She just happened to hear Ning Hai's report and asked out of curiosity.

How come he...

Wei Hanzhang frowned and looked at him for a few times. Seeing that his expression was not right, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why are you so nervous? I didn't say that you were annoying. You were still young at that time and hadn't yet taken power."

Princess Changle acted in a domineering manner and snatched other people's husbands. It was all because of her biological father, the current emperor, who condoned her actions. It was also his order that the Purple Robe Marquis's mansion was raided. It had nothing to do with Xiao Boqian.

She wasn't the type to have any opinion of him just because she heard someone else's story.

"Ran Ran, you don't know." Xiao Junzhan tightened his hand and smiled slightly, "Father is in poor health and it was difficult for him to have children. Changle is his first child. When she was born, Father was so happy that he stopped attending court for three days. If it weren't for Queen Mother's dissuasion, he would have wanted to grant amnesty to the whole world. Even if several princesses were born later, they could not shake Changle's position."

"When the queen mother was alive, she was able to control Changle to some extent. After the queen mother passed away, my father took pity on her because she lost her mother at a young age. He doted on her even more, almost to the point of being obedient to her. Changle fell in love with Qi Mingrui..."

At this point, he paused, and then said, "As long as it's not the imperial seal, as for other things, my father loves Changle so much, he will definitely make her wish come true."

Wei Hanzhang's pupils dilated slightly and he was somewhat shocked when he heard this.

Then he...

Wei Hanzhang asked directly: "Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy if you treat her daughter like this?"

"How could the emperor be unhappy? Ran Ran doesn't know how important he is, but he knows."

Xiao Junzhan looked at her, his eyes bright and gentle, and said with a smile: "Whether the Crown Prince can be born and when he can be born depends on you. Qi Yuxiao's move against you is intended to shake the foundation of the royal family. This not only touches my reverse scale, but also touches my father's reverse scale."

"He has been waiting for me to get married for almost ten years, and now you appear," he said in detail, lowered his head and leaned closer, coaxing: "Ran Ran, do you know how important you are now?"

Wei Hanzhang: “…”

As God knows, she never thought she was so important.

The royal family's direct lineage, is this referring to her? The crown prince or something...

Is the pressure too great? She is only fifteen years old! Wei Hanzhang covered her pounding heart and looked at him blankly, "If I had been as indifferent to you as I was when we first met, would you have used your power to force me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan exerted force with his palm, causing her to scream in pain subconsciously. Then she came to her senses and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You and I love each other. Now the poison is taking over and making me impatient. How could I force you?"

Wei Hanzhang uttered an "oh" and said in disbelief: "But I always feel that if I didn't like you, you wouldn't let me marry someone else."

At that time, she was still engaged. When Gu Yunran came to see her, he became jealous and sternly told him not to let Gu Yunran hold her hand, and said that he would not marry anyone else but her.

Marry someone else...

As if he had heard some childish nonsense, Xiao Junzhan couldn't help laughing. He whispered, "Who does Ranran want to marry?"

Wei Hanzhang choked at the question, looked at the two people's clasped hands, and said, "No one, I just said it casually."

Xiao Junzhan said: "It doesn't matter what Ranran wants to say, but you have to remember that you can only be my Crown Princess."

The strong and overbearing words left Wei Hanzhang speechless.

She muttered, "Why did I suddenly think of going to Cao's yard to dig wine?"

Xiao Junzhan listened attentively, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he said: "Of course it is fate brought about by God."

Thinking of the scene when they first met, and seeing the girl in front of him with a look of regret, he said bitterly: "Ran Ran regrets that we met because I failed to protect you and caused you to be poisoned. I don't blame you."

Wei Hanzhang pursed her lips and said nothing. Perhaps it was really the poisonous insect that was causing trouble. She did regret meeting him.

Once she meets this powerful man who is determined to marry her, she is destined to be unable to escape.

Either she also likes him, then they are in love with each other, and she happily marries into the East Palace.

On the contrary, even if he forced her by force, she would still have to enter the East Palace.
