"I understand, but is there no other way?" Yun Luo still did not give up.

Shangguan Li thought for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

"What?" Yun Luo was extremely excited. As long as she could obtain the holy water, she was willing to give it up. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Marry my Shangguan family." With that said, Yun Luo was dumbfounded.

Marriage? It was actually a marriage ceremony.

"No, no." Yun Luo understood that the princess' words implied that Nangong Yu's marriage with the Second Young Miss was over.

There were many ears at Spirit Mountain. It was not strange that the grand princess had received the news so early in the morning.

Besides, from his point of view, it was understandable that he would help his sister get along with him.

Although his second sister didn't like him that much, he still had to be more concerned about his half-sister and treat it as giving face to his big brother.

"I won't force it." Shangguan Li said softly, "To be honest, when I found out that Second Sis' heart belongs to Brother Nan, I was also very surprised. After all, in all these years, I've never known her to be so diligent towards any man."

The arrogant Second Young Miss had always been flattered by others. But now, she had taken the initiative to express her feelings towards Nangong Yu. This was something that most people wouldn't have expected.

"Mind? "She had some ulterior motive." Yun Luo's words were full of anger and sadness. It must be Shangguan Min who knew this that gave her courage to do this.

"What does Miss Yun Luo mean by this?"

"You should know a bit about your second young mistress' thoughts. To be honest, Nangong Yu is Emperor Xuan Ya." At this point, she no longer hid his identity from him.

Shangguan Li started, staring hard at her. "Then you …"

"I am the Empress."

"No wonder." Shangguan Li retracted his surprised look, saying, "When I first saw you, I felt that your identities were completely different."

The aura emitted by people with different identities was also very different. Their actions and angry smiles were completely different from those of an ordinary person. Even though they were dressed in simple clothes, they were still unable to conceal their unique aura.

Yun Luo could only smile bitterly when she heard this. What kind of heaven and earth was this? It was just the identity of a supreme expert, and it was also because of this identity of "blessed by the heavens" that this simple matter was complicated.

If Shangguan Min hadn't known that Nangong Yu was the emperor, would she have done so?

Fortunately, the current situation was not a dilemma, because he only needed to remember one point. No matter what happened, he would not give up on him.

"The Second Miss wanted to show off so much. How could she possibly be true love to Nangong? It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. It's her business."

A "feeling" without even love is unworthy of fulfillment.

So don't blame yourself for being selfish.

"I apologize on behalf of second sister." Shangguan Li seemed to have understood something.

As a younger brother, he naturally hoped that his elder sister would find someone she loved and live a happy life with. If it was for benefits, he would advise his second elder sister to let him go as soon as possible.

"No need, this has nothing to do with you." Yun Luo stood up and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. "People are having a happy time together while the moon is full. I think it's time for us to part ways."

"But the holy water …" Shangguan Li could not help but feel that it was a pity. After all, the Empress had travelled thousands of miles to obtain the holy water, and now she could not ask for it. Wasn't that a pity?

Yun Luo turned her head and asked with a smile, "Princess, do you think that I would send my husband out for the holy water?"

Since ancient times, one couldn't have both the fish and the bear's paw. If he had to choose between his elder sister and Nangong Yu, then in the past, she might have chosen her elder sister. But now, she had no choice but to choose Nangong Yu.

She could not let him down, and she did not dare to let him down, much less let him down.

Perhaps this would only harm her sister indirectly, but if there was any other way, she would definitely do her best.

"Miss is not such a person." Shangguan Li admired her very much. Humans accepted all sorts of tests, and there was no right or wrong in choosing them, just relying on one's heart.

Princess, may I trouble you to pass on a message to Second Miss. Just say that the empress is very jealous today. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the imperial harem to have no imperial concubines.

After saying that, Yun Luo left.

Her friendship with Shangguan Li was strong, and she had withstood the test of time. A person with a deep sense of righteousness was worthy of making this friend of hers.

But friendship was still friendship, so he couldn't break the rules. Previously, he was too naive, so he felt that as long as he had a good relationship with him, the chances of him getting Holy Water would be higher.

On the other hand, he was admirable, private and public.

In the Spirit Mountain area, he was a qualified princess.

Not long after Cloudfall left, Shangguan Min appeared at the pavilion.

"What did third brother say to that woman just now?" Actually, she could guess a little, but she still asked symbolically.

Shangguan Li did not answer his question, but asked instead, "Is Second Sis sincere towards Brother Nan Gong?"

"Everything is fine. Why are you asking this?" Shangguan Min became alert. This number three seemed harmless, but there were actually many ghost eyes. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her brother into his own camp.

"I want to say that it's best for second sister to think things through clearly. Otherwise, when the time comes, you'll lose both your husband and soldiers." He could understand her pride, her desire.

Indeed, there was nothing more valuable than marrying the emperor. However, wouldn't it be torture to get along with people you don't like?

Shangguan Min sneered, "What are you, worthy of teaching me a lesson? "Yes, you're a princess now. Everyone respects you and fears you, but I'm not afraid."

Shangguan Li was speechless, the enmity between the brother and sister was not just a day or two.

"It's best that you don't interfere in my matters. I don't believe that they would give up on the opportunity to obtain the Holy Water so easily." With a confident expression, she relied on her ability to calculate the human heart and planned a battle.

"Second sister, we will never understand their feelings." Shangguan Li couldn't help but interject. He really didn't want to see his Second Sis live a miserable life in the future.

"Just because you don't understand doesn't mean that I don't understand." Shangguan Min was very confident, "I don't want to ruin their relationship. I just want to make a deal with them, and take what each needs, isn't that great?"

What she asked for was only the status of a concubine. Of course, if he could truly belong to her at the end of the matter, then that would be the best. That way, he could firmly control him.

Even if she didn't love him, women were selfish.

If a person had enough ambition, there would be more and more things she wanted to pursue.

Shangguan Li had never seen her so stubborn. Was fame and fortune really so important? Are you willing to sacrifice a lifetime of happiness?

"It's better for second sister to give up. They are about to leave."

"What?" Shangguan Min was shocked. Leave? They want to leave without getting the holy water? She was really willing to give up.

"Miss Yun Luo wanted me to pass on a message. The empress is very jealous today, otherwise it would be impossible for the imperial harem to have no concubines. If you insist on entering the palace, there won't be any good results." Look, the princess had a good memory.
