That's it!

If you can't figure something out, don't dwell on it, lest you waste your brainpower.

Let's deal with the problem at hand!

"Second Prince, men and women should not touch each other. If someone sees you in my room late at night, it may damage your reputation."

She's been quite direct, hasn't she?

If he understood, he should leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, the other person gave her a deep look.

"That's what I said to you that day too."

With his prompting, Yun Dai finally remembered.

He was punished by the emperor with fifty strokes of the cane, which severely injured his back.

In order to help him apply the medicine, she... took off his clothes!

For a doctor, gender is irrelevant; this is commonplace for her.

Why does everything suddenly feel off today when he brought up the old story again?

Yun Dai felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Um, are you misunderstanding something? I was the doctor, and you were the patient, so..."

The other party, however, remained serious, saying, "If any unfavorable rumors spread, I will take full responsibility."

Yun Dai's eyes suddenly lit up.

When he said he would "take responsibility," did he mean... he would have to pay compensation?

That must be it!

He is a prince of noble status, and may even be the future emperor. How could he possibly fall for a wandering doctor?

"OK!"

Jun Jingyan was surprised by her straightforwardness and couldn't help but feel excited.

"You agreed?"

"certainly."

Who in this world would turn down money, especially a miser like her?

Having spent time with her, Jun Jingyan has probably noticed her money-grubbing nature.

But he was also afraid that if he made a promise in advance, he would disappoint her if he couldn't keep it.

After much deliberation, he carefully spoke: "If that day ever comes, you may choose any treasures from the national treasury."

Originally, he did not have any intention of vying for the throne.

The Emperor was in his prime and was very wary of the matter of choosing an heir.

Therefore, over the years he has been devoted to poetry and literature, remained humble and low-key, and never formed cliques or pursued personal gain.

Even so, those treacherous people in the shadows did not let him go.

After his mother and sister both met with misfortune, he finally realized the cruel reality of being powerless in the royal family.

Only by sitting in that supreme position can one protect those around them from harm.

What's more, now there's Yun Dai too.

Looking at the woman before him, Jun Jingyan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He figured she was probably more interested in the national treasury than in him.

It's okay, he'll do his best to help her get it!

With the empire as dowry and the national treasury as a gift, she is promised a prosperous and glorious world!

Yun Dai didn't understand his implied meaning, but her eyes lit up immediately when she heard the words "national treasury".

Shen Fu had previously told her that as long as she maintained a good relationship with the Second Prince and the Seventh Princess, she would receive many "benefits" in the future.

She had some doubts at the time, but now that even the person in question has made a promise to her, how could it be fake?

She instantly became excited, and her heart, which had been frightened in the bamboo forest, was soothed.

……

At this moment, the Northern Suburbs Palace was shrouded in an atmosphere filled with the smoke of war.

Murong Xiao was furious; he had never suffered such humiliation before.

After returning home, I smashed everything I could get my hands on.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince of Yongchao requests an audience."

"Get him out!"

"yes!"

Just as the guard was about to go out to deliver the message, Jun Qiyuan called him back.

"etc……"

"Does Your Highness have any further instructions?"

"Let him in!"

"..."

The first thing Jun Qiyuan said when he entered was, "Where's Wan'er? What have you done to her?"

Now, Meng Wan has been ordered by the Emperor to go to the Northern Dynasty for a marriage alliance to atone for her crimes.

To save face, they reluctantly bestowed upon her the title of princess.

This imperial decree brought a sigh of relief to all the young ladies in the capital.

Even if Jun Qiyuan was unwilling, he had no choice but to compromise in order to save Meng Wan's life.

During the day, he dared not show himself to avoid being seen, and only came disguised at night.

Murong Xiao was already feeling resentful, and hearing this made him even more furious.

"What time is it? Is there nothing but women in your eyes?"

Jun Qiyuan could only say helplessly, "I have done my best today. Who could have predicted that the other party would be so treacherous and cunning, making it impossible for us to guard against them?"

Murong Xiao sneered: "Wasn't Shen Fu your fiancée from the beginning? She became the Princess Consort of Xuan and then turned against you?"

Speaking of this matter, Jun Qiyuan was also filled with surging anger.

He was not only angry about this defeat, but also about the many times before that Shen Fu had manipulated him.

Just thinking about how she saw through his scheme long ago, yet still pretended to be deeply in love with him, and even said that she couldn't be with him for the sake of his reputation.

Despite having so many suspicions, I always let them go in the end.

Because he trusted her feelings for him so much, he was truly a complete fool!

Thinking of this, Jun Qiyuan lost even the last trace of "old feelings" for Shen Fu.

All I felt was anger and resentment!

"Even if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't let her go!"

"So, who exactly is the person you love?"

Murong Xiao was completely confused, always believing that his conflict with the Xuan King was because of Shen Fu.

Unexpectedly, another woman, Meng Wan, appeared. This woman had even been intimate with him last night.

tsk...

No wonder she was so reckless under him last night; she's no longer a virgin.

Jun Qiyuan took a deep breath: "The person I have loved from beginning to end has always been Wan'er."

Murong Xiao: "???"

Is there something wrong with his eyesight?

Meng Wan is no match for Shen Fu in terms of looks, temperament, status, or intelligence!

Jun Qiyuan had no choice but to reveal that Meng Wan had once saved him.

This also explains why the bridal sedan chair was mistakenly used to marry Meng Wan; it was a trap he set to protect her. He had hoped to have his cake and eat it too, but things took an unexpected turn, pushing Shen Fu into the arms of the Xuan King.

Murong Xiao finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and his anger subsided considerably.

Indeed, "eating melons" brings a lot of joy!

"So that's how it is. I didn't realize you were such a romantic."

Jun Qiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Pushing Wan'er to your side was a last resort. I hope you can take her in temporarily and act as a fake couple with her. When the time is right, you can return her to me!"

"Don't worry, I have no interest in her. All I want is Shen Fu."

Murong Xiao readily agreed, as it would do him no harm.

With this woman by their side, their "alliance" becomes even more unbreakable.

When I first cooperated with Jun Qiyuan, the condition was that I would help him ascend the throne, and in return, he would give me half of the Yong Dynasty as a reward.

He stayed behind under the pretext of discussing diplomatic relations between the two countries, but time is running out, and he must make other plans.

A hint of ferocity flashed in Jun Qiyuan's eyes.

He and Shen Fu had completely broken off relations, so he no longer needed to hold back when he took action against her.

Moreover, he promised Meng Wan that he would definitely help her get revenge.

The real contest has only just begun!
