Pin Shanhe

Seeing her flustered and disoriented appearance, the man's heart sank.

"You haven't really fallen in love with him, have you?"

If that's the case, then why would he come back?

Isn't that redundant?

Shen Fu quickly shook her head, "I didn't!"

She couldn't quite describe what she was feeling.

When she was under the influence of the bewitching incense that day, although she was not fully conscious, a familiar figure appeared before her eyes.

It was as if the person in front of him was Xiao Xuanjin!

When she woke up, she found herself next to a complete stranger. In that moment, besides feeling disappointed, she was also quite surprised.

Later, she would even find traces of Xiao Xuanjin in his tone of voice.

But they are so different!

One was the renowned War God of the Great Yong Dynasty, and the other...

She knew absolutely nothing!

The man sighed and pulled her into his arms.

"It's my fault. I couldn't come back to rescue you in time when you were in danger, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of you."

"He saved your life, so even if you can't let go of him, I can understand."

"He is not only your benefactor, but also my benefactor. Even if he appears in the future, I will thank him in person with you."

Shen Fu's eyes suddenly widened.

The most important reason she rejected him was her fear that the two men would clash in the future, resulting in a lose-lose situation.

One of the most important reasons she rejected him was her fear that if the two men clashed in the future, it would cause a major conflict.

Unexpectedly, he was so magnanimous that he actually thanked the man who had cheated on him.

She would never have believed it if she hadn't heard it with her own ears.

At that moment, she was truly shocked.

At the same time, a pang of sadness welled up inside me.

He is the God of War of the Great Yong Dynasty, so why would he lower himself to such a lowly state?

She doesn't deserve him doing this!

"There are so many women in the world, why bother..."

In my heart, no one can compare to you.

Perhaps sensing her struggle and predicament, he stopped pressuring her and instead adopted a more lenient approach.

"You have the right to refuse, but I won't give up. I'll keep waiting until you're willing to accept me."

Tonight's "negotiations" ultimately came to nothing.

Shen Fu knew very well that she could no longer refuse this man.

……

Next came Jun Anning's wedding.

Although the three-day period was short, it was a choice made after careful consideration.

Only by getting married early can she completely sever Murong Xiao's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, a shocking piece of news spread – Murong Xiao went to the palace to request the emperor's permission to marry the Eighth Princess on the same day.

They called it a double celebration!

When the news reached the Xuanwang Mansion, it immediately alerted Shen Fu.

Why did he insist on marrying Jun Anning on the same day?

Could it be that they're still up to no good and are planning some other scheme?

"Did the Emperor reject him?"

"The old emperor only hopes that the marriage alliance can be finalized as soon as possible. His eagerness is something we'd be more than happy to see; how could we possibly refuse?"

Shen Fu's expression immediately turned serious. "Something's not right. There must be something wrong!"

"you mean……"

On that day, in order to help Meng Wan escape her predicament, Jun Qiyuan orchestrated a staged wedding where the bride was mistakenly married.

Unexpectedly, she used his scheme against him, which allowed him to escape unscathed.

Is it possible that they will use the same trick on Jun Anning?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and she couldn't sit still any longer.

He decided to go to the palace immediately to explain the matter to Jun Anning, so that she would take it seriously.

At this moment, Jun Anning was immersed in the joy of becoming a bride and was trying on the new wedding dress sent by the Imperial Household Department!

Upon seeing Shen Fu arrive, a smile instantly spread across her face: "Sister Shen, look at me! Aren't I beautiful!"

She was born with a bright and dazzling appearance, and a graceful and lively temperament, just like a rose in full bloom on a branch.

Coupled with this red wedding dress, her eyes and brows were even more charming, her beauty dazzling, and she was even more stunningly beautiful.

Shen Fu exclaimed sincerely, "She's as beautiful as a fairy, stunningly beautiful! She'll surely be completely captivated by the groom on their wedding night!"

Jun Anning's face quickly flushed red. "Sister Shen, you always tease me!"

Consort Ning, noticing Shen Fu's troubled expression, quickly asked, "Princess Xuan, is there something important that you've come today?"

Shen Fu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Jun Anning's first reaction was that she was overthinking it.

"How could that be? Father has already bestowed the marriage upon us; a royal decree cannot be disobeyed. How could he possibly have had the chance to cheat?"

Helpless, Shen Fu could only share her own experience of getting into the wrong bridal sedan chair, hoping that she could learn from it.

Jun Anning still couldn't understand: "Wasn't that an accident? Because of the heavy rain, the two bridal sedan chairs entered the Guanyin Temple together to take shelter from the rain, which caused the problem. Although the Crown Prince of the Northern Dynasty and I are getting married on the same day, we won't have any interaction, so nothing will happen."

Consort Ning knew that Shen Fu meant well, but she also felt that Shen Fu was worrying unnecessarily.

This is, after all, the palace of the Dayong Emperor, not the territory of the Northern Dynasty.

Even if his reach is long, it can't extend to the royal inner court!

Moreover, Anning was to be married off from her own palace. When the auspicious time arrived, she and her husband would go to the main hall to express their gratitude, and then return to the princess's residence.

Every step was being watched, leaving no room for tampering.

Shen Fu grew increasingly anxious; it seemed they were unaware that Jun Qiyuan and Murong Xiao had already colluded.

But she couldn't just tell the truth directly. What if they lost their temper and complained to the Emperor? Wouldn't that alert the enemy?

Moreover, given the old emperor's personality, he might not believe it; instead, he might suspect them.

If they use this as an opportunity to turn the tables and accuse us, things will only get worse.

How can we get them to take it seriously?

Just then, an imperial edict was delivered from outside the palace—

"By imperial decree: On the wedding day, Qingyun Palace will be designated as the bridal chamber. The Eighth Princess and Princess Nan Ruoxue of the Southern Prince's Mansion will leave Qingyun Palace together. Afterwards, the newlyweds will proceed to the main hall to hold their wedding ceremony and express their gratitude!"

Upon hearing the imperial decree, both Jun Anning and Consort Ning felt their hearts sink.

The two previous weddings had indeed had no connection, but this decree tied all the ceremonies and procedures together.

Combined with what Shen Fu had just said, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Shen Fu sighed: "Now you should believe me, right?"

The unexpected turn of events caught them completely off guard, and they were not prepared at all.

Jun Anning looked somewhat flustered: "What should we do now?"

She thought that as long as she got married early, she could get rid of Murong Xiao and avoid the misfortune of being forced into a marriage alliance.

Unexpectedly, the other party never intended to let her go from beginning to end!

Shen Fu said in a deep voice, "The marriage decree has been issued and it is impossible to cancel it. If we delay any longer, things will only get worse. The only way is to face it head-on."

She had made up her mind to stay by Jun Anning's side on their wedding day, never leaving his side.

Until she is sent to the princess's residence!
