"Yes! Yes! I'm your brother, your good brother. Let's get on the carriage together now!" Tian Yu said quickly, seeing the chaotic situation, in agreement with the Sixth Prince.
Zhao Moyan and the Third Prince then helped the Sixth Prince into the carriage. Tian Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching their carriage drive away. The Sixth Prince hadn't forgotten to swear brotherhood with her even after getting into the carriage. Tian Yu was impressed. Zhao Moyan, on the other hand, had a dark expression on his face.
On the way back to the capital, a luxurious carriage traveled not far ahead of the Third Prince and his entourage. Inside sat the Wu Prince and the Crown Prince.

"What's so good about it? My brother doesn't have those feelings for the princess. Wouldn't the princess be heartbroken?"
"That's true, but who can control matters of the heart?"
"Hey! What's going on with this Sixth Prince?" Tian Yu sighed and asked Zhao Moyan.
