When Feng Ning Yan heard this, she was a little surprised.
The way Shen Youhuang looked at Duan Huanyin was already different. Why would she suddenly turn cold? He really didn't know what this fellow was scheming in his heart.
The fact that a beauty was willing to give birth to a marriage alliance gave rise to a myriad of beautiful thoughts in Shen You Huang's heart.
Although there was a singing and dancing Hua Ruyu in the Residence of Prince Cheng, she was only a concubine after all.
Shen You was jealous that Shen Ling Jue was able to marry the young marshal of the Southern Ning Army. Only a noble princess like Duan Hua Yin could allow him to surpass Shen Ling Jue in the matter of marriage.
Moreover, this woman's figure was graceful and her skin was snow-white. The taste must be very good!
Duan Huanyin took a glance at Shen You Huang and saw that he had an upright demeanor and wore the uniform of a military overseer. She immediately knew that he was the "Prince Cheng".
Her gentle gaze rested on Shen Youhuang's face for a moment before she lowered her head again.
"Huaxing knows that a woman is insignificant, but befriending a neighboring country is the way to stop the war. Big Yue and the Southern Wilderness are at war, and both sides are at war. A marriage alliance can bring about peaceful coexistence at the border, as well as business interactions. This is the meaning of marriage."
Feng Ning Yan looked at Duan Hua Yin in surprise. Only now did she understand why Shen Ling Jue had a surprised expression on his face.
Princess Hua Yin's appearance wasn't just good. This kind of logic was something only kind-hearted people could speak of.
If Duan Liushao knew this logic and knew that the border between the two countries was more important, how could it compare to the war disaster of today?
Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but look at Duan Hua Yin in a different light.
Seeing that no one had answered her, Duan Hua Yin looked at Shen Ling Jue and said: "Your Highness, do you think that Hua Yin's words make sense?"
Shen Ling Jue gave a faint smile, "The princess' words are filled with kindness and intelligence. This king approves of it very much."
When Feng Ningyan saw that his smile was quite sweet, she couldn't help but glare at him. She said in a low voice, "It seems that you are in favor of the marriage proposal?"
Shen Ling Jue turned his head to look at her, seeing her boiling jealousy, his smile couldn't help but grow wider.
There was a trace of mockery in Feng Ning Yan's tone, but there was a doting look in Shen Ling Jue's eyes. Shen You Huang was able to see the look in their eyes as they interacted.
Shen Youhuang's lips curled up into a dark smile as she walked in front of Duan Huanyin and said gently, "I also feel that the princess is right. The two nations will have a happy ending forever. This king will pass down an order for Duan LiuShao to return to the Southern Wilderness. However, on the way to the capital, the princess will have to suffer some pain from running amok. "
Duan Huanyin was very happy. She didn't care about her own hardships as she quickly curtsied: "Many thanks to Prince Cheng, Prince Yu, and Young Marshal for helping me!"
She was afraid that others would object, so this kind of thanks also stopped Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan from talking.
Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan looked at each other. Shen Ling Jue was quite happy to have a boat sailing on the river and sent Duan Liushao away so that the war wouldn't reignite.
However, their hearts were also slightly uneasy because the only person who had ever been the direct descendant of a princess who was willing to marry them was Duan Huayin. This girl was definitely not simple.
However, that was something that would happen in the future.
When she saw that Shen You Huang no longer insisted on escorting Duan Liushao to the capital, Feng Ning Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She immediately had Li Yao personally set Duan Liushao, Sang Huanyu, and the rest up in the dungeon.
A short while later, Duan Liushao and the other high-ranking officers of the Southern Wilderness were escorted by Li Yao and his fellow soldiers as they staggered out.
Liao Yao hated this piece of Desolate Stone, but he had no choice but to release it. Feeling displeased, he pushed him forward and said, "Child of the Duan Clan, you've lost. Quickly, get the hell back to your Southern Wilderness!"
Duan Liushao's golden crown fell to the ground in an extremely sorry state.
Duan Huanyin hurried forward to support him, calling out, "Brother!"
Duan Liushao was haggard and haggard, but when he saw Duan Huayin, he was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"
Duan Hua Yin's eyes became hot as he said in a low voice: "Big brother, I'm here to save you." Now … "Hua Yin is going to kiss Da Yue. From now on, Big Brother must take care of himself and not act rashly …"
"Marriage?" To Duan Liushao, these two words were like a bolt out of the blue, "No! This prince doesn't allow you to go! I lost the battle, I can cut them up if I want to! Don't even think about insulting my sister! "
Seeing him act so stupidly, Duan Hua Yin hurriedly shook him and painfully advised: "Brother, listen to Hua Yin. You led 50,000 soldiers today and lost to Feng Ningyan's 20,000 Steel Cavalry. This means that Heaven's Mandate is still with the State of Yue! The time had not come, and he could not force it! "Brother, after you return to the dynasty, I ask that you work diligently to help your father revive the Southern Wilderness so that you can have the chance to return in the future …"
Hearing her words, Duan Liushao sadly nodded his head.
However, when he looked at his sister's sorrowful expression, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.
He turned his head and saw Feng Ningyan's cold gaze. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I sincerely believe that I lost to her. "This time, when I go back, I will definitely reflect on my pain and train myself. In the future, not only will I have to take back Hua Yin, I will also …"
Speaking to this point, he knew that saying these words was tantamount to self-ridiculing, so he didn't say anything more.
However, Duan Hua Yin noticed his brother's expression when he looked at Feng Ning Yan and understood a bit more about his conflicting feelings. He silently sighed in his heart.
At the moment of parting, Duan Liushao hugged his sister, still unwilling to part with her.
Not far away, Sang Huanyu and the rest were afraid of delaying too long and could not help but walk up to advise, "Your Highness, time is of the essence. If we delay it, they might go back on their word and it would be better to leave as soon as possible."
Duan Liushao also understood that they were right and could only let go of Duan Huayin's hand.
Duan Hua Yin also endured the pain in his heart and recovered his calm expression. He looked deeply at Duan Liushao, said "be more precious" and then turned around and brought his servant girl into the Nan Yong Pass.
Duan LiuShao rode along with Sang Huaiyu and the rest towards the Southern Wilderness. He kept looking back and seeing her frail back. He felt extremely bitter in his heart.
When Duan Hua Yin walked through the city gates, the gates closed with a rumbling sound, completely isolating the Southern Princess from her mother country.
There was no sign of panic or fear. Even the sorrow of bidding farewell quickly disappeared from her face.
Seeing her like this, Feng Ning Yan had a strange feeling.
She looked at Shen Ling Jue, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Don't you feel that this princess is strange?"
Shen Ling Jue nodded his head.
Duan Hua Yin's identity was noble and respected. He should have been in the palace, so why would he go to the borders of the battlefield to see his elder brother?
Although she was willing to marry him to save Duan Liushao, the Southern Wilderness had no choice but to do so. To send the emperor's precious daughter in was even more reckless than being a servant.
Shen Ling Jue was also suspicious. He held Feng Ning Yan's hand and assured her, "We're not afraid of an army with thousands of men. Could it be that we're afraid of a Southern Princess?"
Feng Ning Yan was right, so she no longer bothered with Duan Hua Yin. She asked Li Yao to prepare a carriage and escort Duan Hua Yin to Ningnan to settle down.
At this moment, Shen Youhuang signaled with her eyes, and the personal guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion immediately surrounded Duan Huanyin's carriage.
"Escorting the Southern Wilderness' princess is a great responsibility, so I should help Brother Wang and Sister Wang to shoulder some of the pressure." Shen Youhuang smiled sinisterly and cupped her hands, about to take her leave.
"You really know how to pick a life. The task of being a Flower Protector is easier and safer than charging into battle," Feng Ningyan said coldly. "However, Princess Hua-Yin is gentle and beautiful. Prince Cheng shouldn't be keeping watch by himself, right?"
