But I was also very scared. I was afraid that Brother Jingzhan was saying this to prevent me from going on a political marriage.
My heart was pounding uncontrollably, beating wildly like a startled fawn.
I stepped out from the shadows, my eyes fixed on him. "Brother Jingzhan, let me ask you one question: are you saying this to prevent me from being forced into a marriage alliance, or is it really true?"
If it's true, I'm willing to go to the ends of the earth with him.
If it's fake, even if it's true that we're going to be married off, I still don't want to be with him.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, "I have no wealth or power, only medical skills. But even with those skills I was so proud of, I now know there are always people more skilled than me, and there is always something beyond my reach. I have nothing, but you are a princess of a nation. I don't want to implicate you, yet I can't help but want to get closer to you. What I just said was from the bottom of my heart, Xi'er, I love you. I am willing to take the imperial examinations and become an official, as long as you promise not to marry into a foreign land, I will do anything you ask."
At that moment, I realized that Brother Jingzhan hadn't lied to me.
He likes me.
"Then let's forget about it."
Yes, neither my fourth brother nor my fourth sister-in-law objected, which means that Brother Jingzhan really likes me!
I don't need to marry anyone else!

They could only flee in panic.
A few days later, my mother bestowed a marriage upon us.
Brother Jingzhan is the disciple of the Divine Physician Jiugu, so he doesn't need to worry about fame or fortune at all.
In the words of the Fourth Princess: He's just manipulating himself!
Before the wedding, the emperor's elder brother and sister-in-law finally returned.
The Empress Dowager's sister-in-law is heavily pregnant and looks like she's about to give birth.
Listening to them recount their stories of traveling and enjoying the scenery, I was incredibly envious.
After Jingzhan argued his case (which meant he got beaten up several times), the Fourth Prince finally agreed to give us a ride when they ran away.
However, they are heading east, while we are heading west.
For the rest of my life, I want to save the world with my brother Jingzhan!
