She could naturally see through Jun Qiyuan's thoughts.

He was afraid that if the Crown Prince of Dongyue announced the results, it would be too late for him to step in!

Even a fool would know that Murong Xiao would never let go of the opportunity to win over Dongyue.

He would never give it up so easily.

Their identities haven't been revealed yet, but it seems they're about to fight.

Jun Qiyuan was not to be outdone.

"I met Wan'er first, and I was her first husband. If it weren't for that incident, we wouldn't have separated. If the Crown Prince could return her to me, I would be eternally grateful."

"That's unfortunate! During the time we've spent together, I've also developed genuine feelings for her. She's now my wife, and I will never give her up so easily!"

Jun Qiyuan clenched his fists in anger, "But you were clearly unwilling back then, so why are you doing this now..."

"So you knew all along. You forced them onto me, and now you want them back? What do you take me for?"

"you……"

Murong Xiao didn't give him a chance to speak, interrupting him with a cold laugh, "Since you like her so much, why didn't you stop it immediately when the Emperor announced her as a princess for a political marriage? Now that she's become the Grand Princess of the Northern Dynasty, you're trying to snatch her away. I'm afraid your intentions are as clear as day."

At this moment, not only their group was present in the imperial court, but also all the civil and military officials.

They had naturally heard about what happened at the hot spring club in those few days.

It is said that the Crown Prince of Dongyue has already found the legitimate princess.

That person turned out to be the daughter of the former Marquis of Dingyuan, the other female protagonist in the mistaken marriage.

Not only that, she also became the fourth prince's concubine, then her whole family was stripped of their titles and demoted to commoners, and now she has become the Grand Princess of the Northern Dynasty.

It's truly astonishing that so many titles can be bestowed upon one person at the same time.

The reason why the Fourth Prince suddenly tried to "steal" the person remains unknown.

Although Murong Xiao was arrogant and domineering, he was indeed in the right in this matter.

Now, Meng Wan's identity is indeed that of his wife, the rightful Empress Dowager of the Northern Dynasty.

He was right about one thing: if he was so reluctant to let go in the first place, why didn't he try to stop it instead of waiting until everything was settled and there was no room for maneuver before trying to change his mind?

Now that they see that she is about to become the legitimate princess of Dongyue, with a status far superior to what it used to be, they start trying to snatch her away. Isn't that too hypocritical?

Emperor Yong clearly shared the same thought as everyone else, and his face showed displeasure.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up!"

Jun Qiyuan started his "sob story mode" again, revealing a look of utter grief.

"Back then, due to a mistaken marriage in a bridal sedan chair, I lost Shen Fu and was heartbroken. It was you who told me that if we are not destined to be together, we cannot force it. That's why I tried to get in touch with Meng Wan and live with her. I finally developed feelings for her, but she was stripped of her identity because of a crime."

"I never intended to give up on her. I wanted to wait until some time later to ask my father to allow me to bring her back, even as a concubine, as long as we could be together."

"I never imagined that fate would play such a cruel trick on me. She became the Grand Princess of the Northern Dynasty, forcing me to experience the pain of losing a loved one once again. Why is Heaven so unfair to me?"

His eyes were red and his voice was choked with emotion; he was almost in tears.

His appearance indeed evoked sympathy from many people present.

After all, in their minds, Jun Qiyuan had always been seen as a brainless, love-obsessed person.

It was the same thing with Shen Fu before; he injured himself and bled profusely for her sake, and begged the emperor to grant him death.

Even if Shen Fu marries someone else, he will not give up on her, disregarding the dignity of the royal family and his own life.

Compared to those other things, this isn't even that bizarre.

Murong Xiao sneered, "What does your pain have to do with me? Do you think you can steal my woman just because you're weak and incompetent? What do you take me for? What do you take the Northern Dynasty for?"

Emperor Yong's heart sank.

He has not forgotten about the Quad meeting.

The original intention was to promote peace among the four countries and to ensure harmonious coexistence in the future.

If anything goes wrong at this critical juncture, it will be the responsibility of the Yong Dynasty, and the responsibility of the emperor.

What he feared most in his life was being criticized by the people as an incompetent and foolish ruler!

Therefore, this matter must be stopped immediately to prevent people from having anything to say about it.

"Guards, take the Fourth Prince out!"

Jun Qiyuan thought that the worst outcome would be nothing more than being scolded.

Unexpectedly, his father didn't give him any room to continue developing his abilities and actually wanted to kick him out.

If I really go out, won't I miss the chance to see what happens next?

In his haste, he immediately gave Meng Wan a meaningful look.

Didn't they already agree on this?

Seize any opportunity to immediately show your father how you are inseparable and devoted to each other through thick and thin.

She is now the Princess of Dongyue, and no one dares to do anything to her.

I'll just threaten to kill myself if necessary!

Of course, this is fake!

The purpose was to intimidate the emperor and his court officials!

The Emperor could not possibly stand by and watch Princess Dongyue get into trouble in his court; otherwise, how could he explain it to Dongyue?

Chu Lingyu once said that his younger sister had been living among the common people for many years, and his father and mother had always felt indebted to her.

Since he felt so indebted, how could he just stand by and watch her separate from her beloved?

Therefore, as long as Meng Wan remains steadfast in her resolve to stay with him, he believes that the Crown Prince of Dongyue will also stand on their side.

But even though his eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets, Meng Wan still didn't make a move.

It was all because Murong Xiao had come to her room last night and said something to her.

He not only used that "handle" to threaten her, but also analyzed the pros and cons with her.

Now that she has married him, would Emperor Yong really offend the Northern Dynasty for her sake?

Furthermore, can she guarantee that Jun Qiyuan will never know that secret?

He has always loved the "savior" from back then, not her!

What if he knew the truth, knew that he had been living in deception and lies all along?

Murong Xiao's purpose in revealing all this was naturally to make Meng Wan face reality.

If she chooses him, even if it's for the benefit of the Northern Dynasty, he will definitely treat her well in the future.

But if she doesn't know what's good for her, the result will be that she loses everything!

Jun Qiyuan did not expect that Meng Wan would not cooperate with him at the crucial moment.

Just as they were about to argue, a voice suddenly rang out: "This is the imperial court, not a place for you to steal women. The two emperors and the Crown Prince of Dongyue are here; how dare you act so recklessly?"

The speaker was naturally Xiao Xuanjin.

If we let them keep entangled like this, how will the rest of the show be able to unfold?

Chu Lingyu raised an eyebrow: "I'm just acknowledging a relative, how has that affected you two? If you keep arguing like this, you'll frighten my royal sister!"

Jun Qiyuan and Murong Xiao finally calmed down.

That's right, the most important thing right now is Meng Wan's princess status!

It's not too late to fight to the death after everything has settled down!
