The eldest princess and Prince Yun did not know Duan Sijin's thoughts, and it was difficult for them to understand his thoughts. They would most likely think that Duan Sijin rejected the marriage because of her, Duan Qingxi. Prince Yun might not take it to heart, but the eldest princess, as a mother, would definitely be angry and would most likely blame her for it.
I guess this is what Duan Hong and Duan Sijin are worried about.
Duan Qingxi looked at them and said, "Dad, brother, you don't have to worry about Yun Xinling. I have a way to get her to help us appease the Princess and Prince Yun. I can ensure that this matter ends here and that we won't be implicated in any further matters. But... what about brother?"
After a pause, she continued, "The Emperor's intention in granting the marriage was good. If my brother does this, I'm afraid it will chill His Majesty's heart, right?"
Duan Hongdao said, "The Emperor's heart isn't easily chilled. He's a wise ruler. He'll certainly be angry at being rejected, but he won't bear a grudge against your brother or our entire General's Mansion. Besides, you're the Ninth Prince's Consort. As for your brother being implicated... things will work out in due time. Right now, my only concern is the Princess..."
The eldest princess didn't like Duan Qingxi very much in the first place. Now that this incident happened, even if the eldest princess didn't attend the court, as long as she was still in the capital, she would know about this matter soon and would definitely be angry.
Duan Qingxi smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. You just need to take care of the affairs in the court. I will help you solve the rest."
Duan Sijin was worried and asked, "How are you going to solve this? This matter is not that easy to resolve, Xi'er, you..."
Duan Qingxi said, "Hey, brother, don't think too much. I'm your sister, I'm very capable. I won't do anything rash, and I won't let anything happen to me. Just stay at home and wait for news from me!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Duan Qingxi took Qiao Yun and Chan Xue and left first.
Originally, Duan Qingxi planned to let Chanxue stay in the general's mansion to help accompany her brother and comfort him, but seeing that Chanxue seemed very afraid of Duan Sijin, Duan Qingxi didn't want to force her and had to take her away.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er were outside the carriage and asked, "Princess, are we going back to the palace now?"
"No, let's go to the Yilai Inn."
"good."
After arriving at the inn, Duan Qingxi asked for a room and then asked Xuan Yi and Xuan Er to bring Yun Xinling over.
Duan Qingxi was sitting in the room making tea. The waiter brought up a lot of delicious food and left after putting the food down. Not long after, Yun Xinling was brought over by Xuan Yi and Xuan Er.
I don’t know what’s going on with these two. They brought Yun Xinling here with a tie and stuffed a cloth in her mouth.
Duan Qingxi's mouth twitched, and he thought that he was careless and had not explained this aspect well.
But she still stood up and walked over to Yun Xinling under her murderous gaze. She was about to take the cloth out of her mouth herself, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "Yun Xinling, I asked you to come here because I have something very important to tell you. If you want to listen, we can sit down and chat seriously. But if you yell and scream, in order to prevent the princess from hating me even more, I will have no choice but to find a way to kill you and then put the blame on someone else..."
She might be being mean, but with Yun Xinling's personality, if she didn't scare her, it was very likely that as soon as she took the cloth off, Yun Xinling would start yelling and making noises, and would not listen to her explanation at all. If she really called someone up, that would be really bad.
Sure enough, after being frightened by Duan Qingxi, Yun Xinling's face turned pale, mainly because she had been tortured so badly by Duan Qingxi before, so she had a psychological trauma and did not dare to struggle anymore.
But after Duan Qingxi took off the cloth, she still shouted angrily: "Duan Qingxi, you are courting death! How dare you kidnap this princess!"
He spoke arrogantly, but his eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that he was very afraid.
Duan Qingxi personally helped her untie the rope, leaving Yun Xinling unable to shout or escape, so she just looked at her warily.
After Duan Qingxi sat down in front of her, he looked at Xuan Yi and Xuan Er. The two of them retreated and stayed in the dark to prevent anyone from approaching. Qiao Yun Chanxue also stepped out of the door and stood guard.
Seeing this, Yun Xinling looked at Duan Qingxi with growing fear, yet also curiosity. She asked, "What do you intend to do by capturing me?"
Duan Qingxi smiled and poured her a cup of tea. "Princess, this is my fault. I originally just wanted them to secretly invite you over, but because you and I had a conflict before, they misunderstood my intentions and were disrespectful to you. I apologize to you here."
As she said this, she drank the cup of tea.
Yun Xinling looked her up and down without saying a word or drinking her tea. She must be wondering what conspiracy she was up to.
Duan Qingxi continued, "Princess, I actually have no ill intentions in calling you out this time. I just hope that we can work together. Why don't you put aside your prejudice against me and have a good chat today?"
Yun Xinling sneered, "Duan Qingxi, none of your tricks will work on me. Do you think I'm a fool so easy to fool? As for the grudge between you and me, I will definitely..."
Duan Qingxi interrupted her and said, "Princess!"
Although her shout was not loud, it carried a terrifying aura. Yun Xinling did not dare to speak anymore, but she still pretended to be stubborn on the surface.
Duan Qingxi softened his tone and continued, "Princess, you're not stupid, but could you please think carefully about what deep hatred we have that has caused such hostility between us?"
