You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

The snowflakes fell down and floated on the girl's hair. Her frozen red cheeks and red eyes made people feel infinite pity.

Xiao Dai sighed deeply and said ambiguously: "No matter where he goes, you just need to know that he is your second brother and will always protect and love you."

"Yingying, you are very important to them."

"So you have to take good care of yourself so as not to let them down."

Cui Yingying took a deep breath, turned her head away, let the tears fall from her eyes, and said with difficulty, "Even if you don't say it, I can guess that he did it for me. Although my second brother has always wanted to be a general, he has some concerns. Besides the princess, there is his father."

"Now he has no scruples at all in order to help me. What have I done to deserve his sacrifice?"

She didn't want others to sacrifice for her. It was obviously her own business to like Xiao Su, so why did she have to drag so many people into it.

Xiao Dai felt bad when he saw the sad face of the little girl. He reached out to brush off the snow on her body and whispered softly, "Without you, Liang Heng would have taken this path. It's just because of you that he took this path earlier."

"Liang Heng was full of ambitions, but he kept them to himself because he didn't want to marry Xiyun. Now he can show his talents, you should be happy for him."

Cui Yingying turned her head, looked at him with tears in her eyes and pouted in grievance.

Xiao Dai counseled her calmly, "What you need to do is to be a good person in the palace and successfully be selected as the Crown Princess. Only when you become the Crown Princess can you protect more people you want to protect and make those you cherish return to you."

“Power will certainly make you lose your freedom, but it can also bring you happiness. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. If you gain something, you must lose something.”

"Yingying, do you understand what my eldest brother means?"

The tears fell on the snow, melting a small handful of snow, making a crisp sound.

The girl blinked blankly, and the image of her younger brother, who had always depended on her, flashed through her mind. Many of his things were still kept in the Princess's Mansion. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she saw the dawn.

She asked hesitantly, "Does it include getting Yuan back to me?"

"Of course. It's just a small country. If you become the Crown Princess, you will be the Queen in the future. Just let them send her as a hostage." Xiao Dai said without hesitation.

Cui Yingying wiped away her tears instantly, her wits aroused, and she patted her chest to assure, "Don't worry, my dear brother, I will definitely become the Crown Princess!"

Xiao Dai couldn't help but smile and shook his head, his eyes full of doting.

Smart little girls are able to listen to what is said.

After calming Cui Yingying down, Xiao Dai left the palace. Coincidentally, he ran into Wu Congyu coming out of a restaurant on the way. He squinted through the curtain of the carriage, asked the coachman to stop the carriage on the side, and then called Shangying to whisper a few words to him.

Shangying understood what he meant and walked into the restaurant, then returned after half an incense stick of time.

"The shopkeeper inside said that Young Marquis Wu had booked a private room and sent them away. The waiter who went to serve tea heard some conversation, but he didn't see anyone go in. The tea was given to Young Marquis Wu's men, and they couldn't go in."

"When he came out, only Young Marquis Wu was there. The waiter said that the person who was speaking didn't sound like a man, nor like a woman... but more like a eunuch." Shangying reported to him all the information he had obtained.

Xiao Dai held his breath and concentrated, slowly turning the Buddhist beads and fell into deep thought.

This Wu Congyu is really difficult to deal with, he is extremely cunning and ruthless. His father must have been well prepared to let him come to Yecheng.

Although he did not explicitly oppose Ajing, the more he did so, the more uneasy he felt.

I'm not afraid that he will be in cahoots with the Queen Mother, but I'm afraid that he has other intentions.
