Then, Dugu Yuan paused and continued, "Do you know how many people will make things difficult for him if he does that?! But you can't help him with anything! Only I can give him what he wants! "
Her eyes curved into a smile as she looked at Dugu Yuan, "Princess, you're really interesting. When your second prince sought orders from the emperor, I went missing and only found out after I returned. Besides, I really didn't say that I like your second prince, did I?"
She knew that Dugu Yuan might not believe her, so she said again, "I won't marry your second prince. No matter if he becomes the emperor of Yan Country, I won't change my decision."
After hearing Yu Yu, Dugu Yuan indeed didn't believe him. She thought Yu Yu Yu wanted to make her let her go, so she said, "I know what you're thinking, but I suggest you take the chance to rest your mind. It's hard to even stand up after being drugged, so just wait patiently!"
Then, Dugu Yuan stood up and left. Only now did she realize what was happening. She said, why didn't she have any strength? She couldn't even feel her inner force.
So everything was done by Dugu Yuan. She knew that with her current situation, there was no way she could escape, so she simply closed her eyes and rested.
In the next few days, other than the two steamed buns that the maidservants brought over, they didn't show up in front of Yu Yu. Although it was only white buns, Yu didn't want to use up his body, so he ate them all.
Along the way, she rarely saw the local customs and practices outside through the curtains. When they arrived at the capital of Yan State, Dugu Yuan had someone bring her to a courtyard house of the Dugu Family.
"Freshly done, you better stay here. Don't even think about escaping, I've already set up my men outside. If you dare step out of the courtyard, you will die without a corpse!"
He didn't care much about Dugu Yuan's threats. He just sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. It was like he didn't hear anything from Dugu Yuan.
Dugu Yuan was ignored like that and immediately felt angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only turn around and leave the yard angrily.
Dugu Yuan went back to the palace to change into her palace attire before heading to the palace. Originally, she didn't need to go, but she knew that Xiao Yun Chen was definitely in the palace.
Previously, it was precisely because of Imperial Concubine's influence that Xiao Yun Chen had been given the title of Crown Prince. Right now, Imperial Concubine would definitely not let Xiao Yun have his way so easily and would definitely think of all sorts of ways to make things difficult for Xiao Yun Chen. If she was by Xiao Yun Chen's side, the Emperor would definitely estimate the power behind him.
Currently, the Emperor, Queen, Imperial Concubine, and Xiao Yunchen were all in the Imperial Study. In front of the Emperor was the map that Xiao Yun and Dugu Yuan had stolen from the Imperial Study.
The Imperial Concubine didn't think that Xiao Yun Chen would actually be able to do it. She felt extremely disgusted, but she couldn't show it in front of the Emperor of Yan Country.
The imperial concubine rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, a guard walked in and interrupted her. "Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Yunan requests an audience!"
When the Emperor of Yan heard this, he immediately said, "Let her in." After the guard left, Dugu Yuan, who was dressed in purple, walked in slowly.
Dugu Yuan walked to Xiao Yun Chen's side and knelt down before the Emperor of Yan Country. "Dugu Yuan greets the Emperor and the Empress!" Dugu Yuan had told all the emperors and emperors present, but she hadn't mentioned the imperial concubine.
But Imperial Consort couldn't find anything wrong with it. Dugu Yuan was the only daughter of a king in Yan Country, and she was also the Emperor of Yan Country's personal princess. In fact, she was much more noble than her.
"Yun An, get up!" "Sit!"
Hearing that, Dugu Yuan immediately thanked the Emperor and walked to a nearby chair to sit down. Xiao Yun Chen was still standing in the middle, and since the Emperor didn't say anything, Dugu Yuan only looked at Xiao Yun Chen but didn't say anything.
The imperial concubine was angered by Dugu Yuan's refusal to give her face. She immediately said to the emperor, "The second prince sure is capable to be able to take back the military defense map despite being so cautious."
The Emperor of Yan started to smile when he heard this, but that was not the true purpose of this imperial concubine, she continued to say, "However, chenqie also heard that the Second Prince specifically requested the Emperor to marry the Prime Minister's daughter! I heard that the Prime Minister of the Wu Nation's daughter is really beautiful. The Second Prince has good eyesight, unlike the First Prince who still likes every girl up till now. "
Hearing the Imperial Concubine's words, Dugu Yuan knew something was wrong and hurriedly looked towards the Emperor of Yan. Indeed, she saw the Emperor's expression change and quickly said, "That Imperial Concubine definitely doesn't know that Prime Minister Wu's daughter is rumored to have been reincarnated from the Violet Star and is from the Violet Myrtle world. Just the Liang country that Yun An knows has sent two marriage letters."
The empress who was sitting at the side also spoke up, "Indeed, this sort of thing would rather believe one's words than not. If Chen'er was too slow, the Liang Empire might have gotten to her."
With that, the Queen raised her gaze and looked coldly at the imperial concubine, saying, "If the imperial concubine is anxious about the First Prince's marriage, I can actually help the First Prince look at each other."
When the imperial concubine heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately said, "How can I trouble elder sister with this sort of matter. Besides, I must go back and ask the First Prince what kind of woman he likes before being able to see her for myself."
The Emperor of Yan, who had been silent all this while, looked at the situation below and said, "Enough, let's talk about these matters in the future. Since Chen'er said that as long as we take back the military defense map of Wu, we can bestow her the title of Crown Prince, then from now on Chen'er will be the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom!"
When Xiao Yun Chen heard this, he immediately cupped his hands together and said to the emperor, "Many thanks royal father, this son will definitely do his best to help you out!"
When the imperial concubine heard this, she became unhappy and immediately looked towards the emperor. "Your Majesty, this …" However, the imperial concubine was interrupted by the emperor before she could finish, "Alright, there's no need to discuss this matter anymore!"
