Jun Qiyuan was indeed furious.

"Shut up! I won't allow you to insult Fu'er like that!"

"Your Highness is mistaken. I have already ordered people to redecorate the palace and prepare the betrothal gifts. I will formally propose marriage to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion a month from now, and bring her home in a grand and glorious manner with an eight-bearer sedan chair."

What? He's even thought about proposing marriage?

Jun Qiyuan could no longer maintain his former humble and refined demeanor; his eyes were filled with hostility.

"Prince Xuan, you haven't forgotten Father's decree, have you? Unless she is pregnant, you are not to be allowed to lay a finger on her!"

"I would also like to remind the Fourth Prince of this: the Emperor's decree is in effect, and the outcome will be clear in a month. Yet you are here pestering Miss Shen. Doesn't that constitute disobeying the imperial decree?"

Jun Qiyuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Father said that he would decide on Shen Fu's fate a month later.

They must not cause any trouble before then.

If this matter really blows up and reaches the Emperor's ears, he will surely be dissatisfied with him.

"I... met Fu'er here by chance."

"If it was a chance encounter, why the pulling and tugging?"

Seeing his large hand on Shen Fu's waist, she clenched her fists in anger.

It's much better than hugging and cuddling, isn't it?

"Let go of Fu'er, you have no right to touch her!"

"I simply cannot bear to see my future queen being harassed."

"Shut up! She's not your princess!"

"I believe in fate. Since fate has brought her to me, it will naturally help me preserve this destiny."

"Ha...you're far too confident in yourself."

Even if there was some possibility before, it no longer exists now.

When they met earlier, he received a hint from Meng Wan that Shen Fu had already eaten pastries laced with contraceptives.

He is destined to be the winner who laughs last!

However, with Xuan Wang here, how can he proceed with his next plan?

If the other party notices any flaw, I'm afraid...

Just then, panicked shouts came from outside.

"Oh no, there's a fire!"

Jun Qiyuan's heart sank suddenly. How could it be so fast?

He didn't even have time to give the order before they took action?

Flames and thick smoke quickly reached the temple.

By the time they realized what was happening, the fire was already out of control.

Suddenly, a burning beam fell down, directly in Shen Fu's direction.

Just as Jun Qiyuan was about to step forward, he heard Meng Wan's cry for help from behind him.

Turning around, she saw that she had been injured by the fallen Buddhist shrine and had no choice but to turn back to help.

When he helped Meng Wan up, he saw that Shen Fu was already being protected in Xiao Xuanjin's arms, and the beam had been shattered by his palm.

Seeing this, Jun Qiyuan was so angry that his eyes bulged out.

To prepare for today's events, he arranged for people to sprinkle hot oil in the hall beforehand.

According to the original plan, Shen Fu would definitely panic when the fire started.

As long as I appear as a "hero to save the damsel in distress" at this moment, and suffer a minor injury at the right time.

Given Shen Fu's personality, she would definitely feel extremely sorry for him, and it would be even more impossible for her to leave him.

But he never expected that all his painstaking arrangements would benefit someone else.

Absolutely outrageous!

As the fire grew larger, the scorching flames blocked the exit, and the thick smoke was so thick that it was almost suffocating.

Jun Qiyuan was also starting to panic.

What happened?

He had clearly instructed them to maintain control of the situation during the operation.

Why is it still so serious?

At this moment, Meng Wan was also terrified.

The fear of death made her tremble all over, her legs shook, and she couldn't even take a step.

Her survival instinct made her cling tightly to Jun Qiyuan's sleeve, afraid that he would abandon her.

"Help me!"

She has not yet become the fourth prince's principal wife!

Her dream of becoming empress has not yet come true!

She doesn't want to die!

While fleeing for his life, Jun Qiyuan also had to take care of her, this "burden," which greatly delayed his departure.

They finally managed to escape, their faces and bodies covered in black ash.

He also had several large and small abrasions and burns on his body, making him look quite disheveled.

Looking at Shen Fu, who was being protected by Xiao Xuanjin, she was completely unharmed, and even her clothes were spotless.

After Jun Qiyuan came out, his first concern was not for Meng Wan's condition, but rather he rushed to explain to Shen Fu.

"I'm sorry, the fire was too big at the time, and I didn't get to you in time..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party's cold voice.

"The first choice people make in a crisis is often the most genuine. Besides, Wan'er is about to become your wife, so it's only right that you save her first."

Jun Qiyuan deeply understood what it meant to try to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice instead!

Why did things turn out this way?

Wouldn't this push Shen Fu further and further away?

He hurriedly explained, "I saved her... because of you! You value your sisterly bond so much; if anything happened to her, you would feel incredibly guilty. How could I bear to see you so upset?"

Shen Fu was utterly impressed by his ability to lie through his teeth.

Although it's not the first time, each time it challenges my worldview.

What should we do?

Then the only option is to follow the enemy's path and leave them with nowhere to go!

She feigned sadness: "If I had been more careful at the Guanyin Temple that day and hadn't taken the wrong veil, I wouldn't have gotten into the wrong bridal sedan chair. I feel extremely guilty whenever I think about it. If you really don't want me to be sad, then treat Sister Meng well."

The boomerang eventually pierced its own body.

Jun Qiyuan felt like he was vomiting blood, but there was nothing he could do.

He wanted to say something more, but Meng Wan couldn't hold on and fainted.

Shen Fu immediately stepped forward to check on Meng Wan, taking the opportunity to get rid of Jun Qiyuan's entanglement.

The fire at Putuo Temple caused devastating damage, with the main hall almost completely burned down to a shell.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

The only one who suffered was Meng Wan.

She was injured inside, and later suffered a shock and inhaled a lot of smoke. She is now unconscious and needs to go back to get a doctor.

Helpless, Jun Qiyuan could only take her back for treatment first.

Shen Fu was escorted home by Xiao Xuanjin.
