What the hell is this Shura field!

Ying Xixi somersaulted out of bed and ran out.

Hua Yan quickly grabbed her.

"Your Highness, please wash and dress first."

Ying Xixi had forgotten about this and said, "Okay."

After Ying Xixi had tidied herself up with the help of Hua Yan, she went to the outer hall.

As soon as she entered, she felt a chill.

Even though the sun was quite strong outside, she still felt hot in the inner hall.

Why does it get colder when I come to the outer hall?

Gu Xuanyun saw Ying Xixi first and stood up to salute, "Your Highness."

"Mr. Gu, please excuse me. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ying Xixi walked over and sat a little distance away from the two men.

"Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty asked you to marry him."

Gu Xuanyun had a complicated expression and glanced at Suonan who was sitting next to him.

"Your Highness, I want to talk to Her Highness the Princess alone. Could you please leave for a moment?"

Hearing this, Suonan chuckled and leaned back in his chair.

"Master Gu, since you already know my identity and that Xixi wants to marry me, isn't your request unreasonable?

As Xixi's fiancé, I can't make room for you to chat alone.

Mr. Gu, please speak directly."

Sonam refused outright.

Gu Xuanyun’s face turned pale for a moment.

Ying Xixi knew that Suonan would refuse, so she gave Gu Xuanyun a look.

Gu Xuanyun pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, do you sincerely accept this marriage?"

You should be careful when asking this question.

The young man was very bold in asking the question. He even dared to ask Suonan in front of her.

"Master Gu, as a princess, I have no right to refuse."

Ying Xixi simply answered like this.

Her meaning is obvious.

If you don't have the right to refuse, then you are not accepting it sincerely.

Gu Xuanyun understood, and there was struggle and worry in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you......"

He held back, but didn't say it out loud.

"Your Highness, since you have guests here, I will not bother you any more.

I will come to visit Your Highness another day."

After Gu Xuanyun finished speaking, he stood up, bowed and left.

Ying Xixi watched him leave, not knowing what his unspoken words were.

"It seems that this Mr. Gu is Xixi's ideal man."

Suonan's voice sounded cold and jealous.

Ying Xixi paused, focusing on how Suonan addressed her.

“Your Highness can call me Princess or Pearl.

As for Mr. Gu, he is just a good friend of this princess, not the one she loves. "

Ying Xixi should clarify calmly.

"I am your fiancé, so it is only natural for me to call you by your maiden name.

Xixi, Mr. Gu, is he really not the one you like?

Not necessarily. The way he looks at you makes him want to elope with you!"

Suonan seemed to squeeze the last sentence out from between his teeth.

He did not hide his jealousy at all.

Ying Xixi looked at him in surprise.

It turns out that Sonam has other emotions.

"You...are you jealous? Oh, I see.

You are afraid that Mr. Gu will really elope with me and you will lose all face, right?

You really don't have to worry about this.

Because Mr. Gu is definitely not the one I like, and given his character, he wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Ying Xixi comforted Suonan first.

Of course she wouldn't elope, but she would definitely run away!

Suonan sneered, "Xixi, you keep saying that Master Gu is not the one you like, but your protection of him has already exposed the fact that he is the one you care about!

Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me and don't resist me, I won't do anything to him.

Otherwise...you know what I will do to him!"

After saying this, Suonan stood up.

"It's time for us to take a walk around the palace. Come on, my fiancée."

Ying Xixi gritted her teeth fiercely.

This madman!

Ying Xixi took Suonan for a walk in the Imperial Garden and then asked Suonan to return to the guest house first.

But Suonan still followed Ying Xixi back to the princess's palace and had dinner with her on the grounds that engaged couples should eat together to slowly adapt to their future life.

Ying Xixi was still worried that Suonan might cheat again and want to stay overnight.

Fortunately, he finally asked to leave!

Ying Xixi watched him walk away and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally gone! Oh my God!"

Hua Yan knelt beside Ying Xixi and massaged her legs. "Your Highness, this Crown Prince He Yi is so imposing. I wonder if he has a habit of beating his wife."

Ying Xixi: "??"

"how do I say this?"

"I heard that the men in Heyi have bad tempers. They are tall and strong, and like to drink and eat meat. Some men will beat their wives and children when they are drunk!"

Hua Yan described it very convincingly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Ying Xixi touched her chin and said, "I see, this Crown Prince He Yi, it's hard to tell whether he has violent tendencies or not.

But it doesn’t matter, anyway…”

Realizing that she had almost let the cat out of the bag, Ying Xixi quickly stopped talking.

“Anyway, let’s talk about the future later.

Yuehua is so far away from Heyi, who knows if this marriage can go smoothly."

Hua Yan didn't think much about it and continued to massage Ying Xixi's legs.

After a while, a palace maid came to report that the imperial concubine's men had delivered a letter.

Ying Xixi looked at the envelope in confusion, but there was no writing on it.

She didn't think the imperial concubine would write to her, so this letter...could it be written by Gu Xuanyun? ?

Ying Xixi quickly opened the letter and looked at the signature first.

Sure enough, the signature had the word "Yun", which was Gu Xuanyun.

The content of the letter was very simple, meaning that if she was willing, he wanted to take her away from here so that she would not have to go through the pain of traveling thousands of miles to Heyi to get married.

Ying Xixi had a complicated expression.

I wonder if Gu Xuanyun wrote this letter in a fit of rage.

He wanted to take her away from here. Doesn't that mean he wanted her to escape the marriage and elope with him?

Let’s not talk about whether this will succeed or not. Even if it succeeds, how can they live if they have to hide from place to place?

If they fail, nothing good will happen to either of them.

At the very least, they will be beaten and thrown into jail, and at the worst, they will die.

Even the Gu family might be implicated and get into trouble.

And as for He Yi, she has been treated so badly. That madman Suonan will definitely find a way to kill her and Gu Xuanyun!

There is no point in eloping!

She still wants to live well!

After careful consideration, Ying Xixi wrote a letter to reject Gu Xuanyun.

In order to prevent the letter from falling into the hands of someone other than Gu Xuanyun, she did not mention the elopement, but simply rejected Gu Xuanyun's kindness and emphasized that she was marrying He Yi voluntarily.

After writing the letter, she folded it and handed it to Hua Yan.

"Send it to the imperial concubine and tell her that it is a reply to the letter just now."

"Yes."

Hua Yan went out with the letter.

Taking advantage of the night, she headed straight for the palace where the imperial concubine was.

But halfway through the journey, she suddenly felt a pain in her neck, her vision went dark, and she fainted on the ground.

A man in black appeared, took the letter from her sleeve and took it away.

"master."

The man in black handed the letter to Sonam with both hands.

After Suonan opened it and read it, his gloomy expression became a little happier.

He handed the letter to his men intact.

The man in black returned to his original place and put the letter back into Hua Yan's sleeve intact.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Yan woke up and was still a little confused.

She came to her senses and quickly touched her sleeve. Finding the letter was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground and looked around.

There was no one around, and no guards on patrol.

It’s strange, why did she faint just now?

Hua Yan didn't think much and ran towards the imperial concubine's palace.

Ying Xixi didn't know what had happened. In the next few days, Suonan appeared in front of her every day.

Fortunately, he didn't go too far. At most, he just sat beside her and read the storybook with her, twirling his fingertips through her hair, but he didn't do anything too excessive.

In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth night.

The emperor has already prepared a dowry for Ying Xixi and is just waiting for them to set off for Heyi tomorrow.

Ying Xixi had dinner with Suonan as usual, and after walking around the palace with him to digest the food, she planned to go back.

"It's getting late. Your Highness, please go back. I should also go back and rest."

Ying Xixi ordered them to leave.

"Xixi, we will set off tomorrow."

Suonan looked at Ying Xixi and spoke softly.

"I know, what's wrong?"

Ying Xixi looked innocent.

She didn't think Suonan would know about her and her third brother's plan.

"Xixi, you will leave with me tomorrow morning, right?"

Suonan stared into Ying Xixi's eyes, emphasizing this issue.

"What do you mean? If you want to ask me if I really want to leave with you, then I definitely don't mean it.

But leaving you is a foregone conclusion.

Or is it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so kind that he is willing to let me live?"

Anticipation appeared in Ying Xixi's eyes.

Suonan: “….”

"Do you think marrying me is a dead end?"

Ying Xixi blinked her big eyes and said sincerely, "Isn't it?"

Suonan: “….”

"No, Xixi, after you marry me, I will treat you well.

If you don't like me having three wives and four concubines, then you will be the only one by my side.

As long as you stay with me, I will help you with whatever you want to do."

Suonan held Ying Xixi's wrist and said these words somewhat anxiously.

It seems like it will be too late if I don’t say it now.

Ying Xixi looked up at Suonan who looked anxious.

During the time she spent with Sonam, it seemed like this was the first time she saw Sonam like this.

What is he anxious about?

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Could it be that he knew her plan?

Suonan held Ying Xixi's wrist tightly, his eyes complicated, "I just...it's nothing, I'll take you back."

After saying that, he took Ying Xixi's wrist and walked towards the Princess Palace.

The sleeves of both men dropped to cover the two approaching hands.

Ying Xixi was quite puzzled as Suonan dragged her away like this.

Sonam is really weird!

Suonan pulled Ying Xixi to the door of the Princess Palace and he let go of her.

"Xixi, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Suonan lowered his eyes and looked at Ying Xixi, word by word.

Ying Xixi nodded, "Okay, but are you really okay?"

Suonan curled his lips and raised his hand to tidy up the hair that was messed up by the wind.

"Are you worried about me?"

"Yes, I am worried about you. After all, if something happens to you in Yuehua's territory, we will have no way to defend ourselves."

Ying Xixi answered half-truthfully.

Suonan chuckled, and unexpectedly leaned over and hugged Ying Xixi.

Before Ying Xixi could react, he let go of her and stood up.

"Don't worry, I will accompany you through this life. Come in."

Ying Xixi: "??"

"You take advantage of me!"

Sonam opened his arms towards her and smiled, "Then you take it back?"

Ying Xixi snorted coldly and glared at him, "Don't even think about it!"

After saying this, she turned around and ran into the hall.

Suonan stared at her figure, with an indelible doting look in his eyes.

Ying Xixi returned to the inner hall and inexplicably felt that she was still surrounded by the indescribable aura left by Suonan.

"Hua Yan! Prepare some water! I want to take a bath!"

"Yes."

Ying Xixi took a bath happily and was satisfied when she no longer smelled Suonan's scent on her body.

It’s still early now, so take a nap first, and then you can burn all of this on fire at midnight!

Thinking about what she was about to do, Ying Xixi was so excited that she almost fell asleep.

She specifically asked the system to set an alarm for her at three o'clock in the middle of the night in case she couldn't wake up.

As the night deepened, the entire palace fell into silence.

A scream pierced the sky above the palace.

"Ah! The fire is coming! Help!!"

The patrolling guards heard the noise and rushed over, only to see the princess' palace engulfed in fire.

The entire princess palace was on fire. The fire was so big that it looked difficult to put out.

Some guards immediately fetched water to put out the fire, while others went to report the matter to the emperor.

But the Princess Palace was surrounded by trees, making it more likely to catch fire.

In addition, the only well in the area was in the backyard of the princess's palace, and now the backyard was surrounded by flames, so the guards had to walk a long way to get water.

So by the time they got the water and started putting out the fire, the roof of the princess's palace had already collapsed!

When the emperor received the news and rushed over to see this scene, his legs went weak.

"Where's Mingzhu?! Has Mingzhu come out?!"

He questioned the palace maid who ran out of the princess's palace.

Several palace servants knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Her Royal Highness the Princess is still in the inner palace!"

When the emperor heard this, he felt dizzy.

Finished!

If Mingzhu really died in the fire, then Yuehua and Heyi’s marriage would be completely ruined!

"Go! Send a few people in to rescue Mingzhu!"

The guards hesitated.

"Your Majesty, the roof has collapsed, the doors and windows have fallen off, and I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness is in great danger."

Even if it sounds unpleasant, it is the fact and they have to say it.

The emperor shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Mingzhu must still be alive!"

Suonan, who rushed over after hearing the noise, saw the princess palace that had collapsed halfway, and his heart sank instantly.

The guards and palace maids were still taking turns to fetch water to put out the fire, but the fire seemed to be impossible to extinguish, and it still domineeringly enveloped the ruins of the princess's palace!

Suonan looked around, picked up a bucket of water, poured it on himself, and ran towards the princess's palace!

His action shocked everyone.

"Your Highness!"
