After hearing Duan Shishi's words, Helian Yun's anger was indeed aroused.
He frowned and said, "What else?! The emperor favors Helian Sheng and doesn't take me seriously at all. Your father and your eldest brother are on their side, and even the imperial preceptor has intervened in this matter!"
Duan Shishi's eyes flashed, and she said, "Your Highness, to be honest, I'm not my father's legitimate daughter, but his concubine's daughter. My mother is his second wife. My father has always felt that he owes me a lot, so when he learned that my sister likes the Ninth Prince, he was naturally willing to help him. As for me... I have no choice."
Helian Yun glanced at her. In fact, he had known it for a long time, but he just didn't say it directly.
Duan Shishi continued, "Your Highness, things have come to this. No matter how much you and I argue, it's useless. And I... I know in my heart that whether I marry the Ninth Prince or you, there will be no place for me in the palace. But I am willing to make a deal with Your Highness. Give me a place to stay. First, grant me the position of principal wife. I will help you get what you want, including my sister! After my sister becomes yours, I am willing to be just a concubine. I only ask Your Highness to give me a place to stay."
After a pause, she continued, "Of course, if the prince doesn't want to keep me in the palace, I am willing to divorce him. I only ask that the prince, considering that I kidnapped you, give me a way out."
Duan Shishi's words really moved Helian Yun.
He asked, "Can you help me get Xi'er?"
Duan Shishi was filled with hatred. She didn't understand why these men were so blind that they only had eyes for Duan Qingxi!
What's so good about that woman? She is no match for her!
But now, in order to reassure Helian Yun, she could only smile and say, "Of course! Prince, you are a prince after all. My sister is now your sister-in-law. If you force her like this, not only will my sister disagree, but even if she agrees, the moral ethics of this world will not allow you to be together. But I have a way here that will allow you to have no worries and get my sister completely!"
Helian Yun immediately became excited upon hearing this. He stepped forward, grabbed Duan Shishi's hand, and asked nervously, "What's the solution?!"
Duan Shishi felt pain in her hand and frowned.
Then, Helian Yun suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he was too excited. He quickly let go of her hand and said, "Sorry, it's just that I was too excited."
Duan Shishi just smiled and said nothing more. As she lowered her eyes and rubbed her hands, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Helian Yun was so happy that he didn't notice Duan Shishi's change at all. He continued to ask, "What exactly is that method you mentioned? When can you help me get Xi'er?"
Duan Shishi remained silent. Helian Yun was puzzled at first, but when he was about to continue asking, he suddenly guessed what Duan Shishi meant. He cleared his throat and said, "Whatever you want, this king is willing to give you. I can even give you the position of the Fifth Princess. But I have to make a promise first. This king will not give you any offspring, and I will not favor you. But anything you want, wealth, power... including your wish to leave the palace in the future, this king can grant it!"
Duan Shishi shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, Shishi can't agree to your request."
