When they left the palace, Fang Zinan didn't say a word. He hadn't expected Shang Yiqing to say this to the esteemed empress. Furthermore, the empress completely believed her words and didn't hesitate at all to agree to her request. He originally thought that the empress wouldn't be easily convinced, but he didn't think that …

Seeing that Fang Zinan didn't say anything and seemed to be deep in thought, Shang Yiqing touched his arm, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking Qing'er was really capable today, even the empress was able to persuade you. What a shock!"

"That's my ability, alright?" Shang Yiqing glanced at him complacently, "I'm only doing this to help Ying Ying. Furthermore, we promised Brother Xiao that we would definitely complete this task. Brother Xiao saved us so many times that we have to help him no matter what. That day after he promised Xiao Tian Yuan, Shang Yiqing was thinking about this matter. No matter how she thought about it, she still felt that this was the most likely way to convince Empress Chen. It seemed like her thoughts weren't wrong, and she did agree to her request.

Fang Zinan looked at her silently and sighed, "Although your words can help Yingying, they've caused King Xuan a lot of trouble!"

"It's not right for King Xuan to do this. I'm just helping others do good deeds." Shang Yiqing felt that Fang Zinan was really strange. She had helped Ying Ying, but Fang Zinan didn't even say a word of thanks. He was worried for King Xuan. Was it because they were intimate? Or was he too soft-hearted?

She didn't know what she was thinking, but Shang Yiqing was a bit unhappy. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Fang Zinan say, "Let's go to the Xiao manor and tell Ying Ying about this. She must still be worried about this right now!"

Shang Yiqing pouted and said snappily, "Even if you didn't say anything, I would have gone to find Brother Xiao!"

An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Xiao family's residence. Fang Zinan and Shang Yiqing went to look for the Xiao siblings.

"Yingying, Prince Rong and Princess Rong have arrived." Afraid that Ying Ying's emotions would be unstable, Xiao Tianyuan had been standing guard beside Ying Ying's bed these past few days, afraid that she would do something unexpected.

Ying Ying, who was indulging in her thoughts, had her forehead bandaged tightly. Upon hearing the Rong couple's arrival, she hurriedly got up and was supported by Xiao Tian Yuan. "You should be slower. Be careful of your dizziness."

As they spoke, Fang Zinan and his wife arrived at Ying Ying's room.

"Ying Ying, are you feeling better today?" Shang Yiqing saw that Ying Ying's face was still pale. She had lost a lot of blood that day, so it looked like she would need some time to recover from her illness. She walked closer to Ying Ying as she thought about this.

Ying Ying anxiously asked, "Did you guys go find the empress?" What did she say? Did you cancel the engagement? "

"Didn't I tell Big Brother Xiao that I had to do this the other day? I just wanted to tell you that the empress has changed her mind and decided not to let you marry King Xuan as a secondary wife!" Seeing how anxious Ying Ying was, Shang Yiqing bluntly stated her purpose for coming here.

"Really?" Ying Ying's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe her ears as she hurriedly asked, "Hurry up and tell me, is this true? Is that true? "

Shang Yiqing's laughter was extremely carefree and proud. She stared at Ying Ying with clear eyes and asked her, "Do you think I need to lie to you?"

"No …" "That's not what I meant, I was just too happy …" Ying Ying started mumbling incoherently, at the same time not knowing how to express the gratitude in her heart.

Upon hearing this, a trace of a grateful smile appeared on Xiao Tianyuan's cold face. "I will have to thank Prince Rong and Imperial Concubine Rong!"

Shang Yiqing hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao, what you've said is wrong. You've helped us so many times, I'm already very happy that I was able to help you this time. Please don't thank me anymore, or I'll be embarrassed!"

Fang Zinan suddenly felt uncomfortable when he saw Shang Yiqing express his gratitude towards Xiao Tianyuan. Although he was friends with Xiao Tianyuan, seeing his wangfei like Xiao Tianyuan really made him uncomfortable! He approached Ying Ying and asked gently, "Ying Ying, don't worry. Take good care of yourself. The empress is a reasonable person. Since she agreed, she won't change her mind."

"Big Brother Fang, I knew you wouldn't break your promise. How can you teach me how to thank you?" Ying Ying's eyes once again revealed that look of attachment, making Fang Zinan feel very uncomfortable. He could only laugh, "Don't thank us. Your big brother has saved me so many times, I still don't know how to thank him! If everyone keeps on thanking him like this, then wouldn't that mean that there'd be no end to it? "

Ying Ying couldn't help but laugh at these words. A bright smile blossomed on his pale face. For the past two days, Ying Ying had been frowning with worry. Now that her long-awaited smile had reappeared, Xiao Tianyuan felt very happy as well.

Fang Zinan didn't feel happy at all. Although Ying Ying didn't have to marry King Xuan to be his secondary concubine, Shang Yiqing had undoubtedly offended King Xuan by doing so. Moreover, the empress was very unhappy with what she had said to the empress.

"What is the Prince thinking?" Ying Ying saw the thoughtful look on Fang Zinan's face and knew that something was on his mind, so she asked.

"No …." "Nothing …" Fang Zinan raised his head, his expression was as calm as ever. Even if he thought this way, he didn't want others to see it.

Shang Yiqing clapped her hands and giggled. "Alright, alright. Now that the rain has cleared, Ying Ying doesn't need to marry King Xuan as a secondary concubine anymore. We should all be happy …" At this point, she couldn't help but scold Ying Ying in a soft voice, "Ying Ying, you've really been too foolish in your actions this time. Don't be so impulsive in the future. If something really happens to you, your big brother will definitely be very sad." Thinking about how Xiao Tianyuan had been scared out of his wits that day, it really made one's heart ache. Although Xiao Tian Yuan gave the impression of being cold and silent, not smiling at all, he truly loved his only sister. Shang Yiqing knew this, so she treated Xiao Tianyuan with more respect!

Ying Ying nodded her head vigorously and looked at everyone. "Rest assured, I will never do such a foolish thing again!" It's all my fault that I made everyone worry! "

Xiao Tian Yuan dotingly nodded as he looked at her. "It's good that you can think of it that way. I'm relieved as well!"
