Female Master: The Cold Prince

She knew that the arranged marriage hurt him deeply, but this was not what she wanted. She hoped that he could believe her. She was not someone who would make promises easily, but once she made a promise, she would definitely fulfill it.

Yu Suyuan's eyes were slightly red, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He turned his head and looked away, not daring to look into the other person's eyes.

Believe her, how could he believe her? At this point, she already had a fiancé and was about to get married. Did he still expect her to marry him?

"Will you marry Master Ji?"

His gaze finally turned to Xiahou Jiuyue, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping to hear the answer he wanted.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue was slightly stunned, and immediately said with a firm look in her eyes: "No."

Even if the wedding date has been set, as long as she doesn't want to, there are ways to prevent the marriage from happening. Besides, she has no feelings for Ji Muyan, so how could she marry someone she doesn't love?

Hearing the answer he wanted, Yu Suyuan did not show any joy. Instead, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Ayue, Master Ji is of noble status, good character and good looks, and he is also a rare and famous talent in the capital. He is a perfect match for you. Don't miss out on such a good marriage."

Hearing these words, Xiahou Jiuyue couldn't help but frowned, but suddenly, she seemed to hear another meaning in his words. She looked at him in disbelief, thinking she had heard it wrong.

"You want me to marry him?!" She looked at the stubborn man in front of her with disbelief.

Did he know what he was saying? Did he forget the promise she made to him?

"Yes."

Yu Suyuan turned slightly to the side, and the tears in his eyes suddenly burst out.

"Do you know what you're talking about?!"

Xiahou Jiuyue suddenly felt furious. She had already told him that she would not marry Ji Muyan, and she didn't understand why he still did this.

Yu Suyuan closed his eyes without any response, letting the tears flow down his face. Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue felt angry and distressed, and really didn't know what to do with him.

There was a brief silence. Perhaps realizing that her tone had just been too harsh, Xiahou Jiuyue reluctantly stepped forward, hugged the man in her arms, and whispered in his ear to coax him.

"Don't cry, I know you feel sad and wronged, it's all my fault, it's my fault that I made you sad."

She suddenly felt extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have refused her mother's marriage proposal no matter what.

Yu Suyuan in her arms suddenly struggled to leave her arms. Feeling his struggle, Xiahou Jiuyue let him go.

Yu Suyuan held back the tears in his eyes and said word by word with difficulty: "Ayue, I'm sorry, I don't want to embarrass you, let's be brother and sister again from now on!"

He spoke these words while enduring the severe pain in his heart, and every word he uttered made him feel deeply suffocated.

He had trouble sleeping last night, tossing and turning, which made him realize many things: his relationship with her would never have a future.

There was no way the Queen would let A Yue marry him. A Yue was Feng Lin's god of war and a pillar of the court. The Queen had high hopes for her. How could he be so selfish and ruin her future?

Xiahou Jiuyue froze. If what he said before was because he was wronged and felt upset, she could understand it, but why was he still saying this now?

"Do you really want this?"

She quickly calmed down and stared at him with her dark and deep eyes, trying to read his true thoughts from his eyes.

Yu Suyuan closed his eyes, resisting the pain in his heart, and said resolutely: "Yes, no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, I still can't get everyone's recognition. I'm really too tired and don't want to have any illusions anymore. So let it be!"

This relationship was just his wishful thinking. After going through so much together, they finally returned to the starting point.

Xiahou Jiuyue looked at him with complicated eyes, until Yu Suyuan was tired of crying and no more tears could flow from his eyes, then she slowly spoke.

"Okay, I will respect your choice. Don't be sad. Go back first!"

She sighed slightly in her heart. Although she was not attracted to this relationship at the beginning, she was also working hard to manage it and trying to accept him.

During the time they were together, she found herself caring more and more about this insecure and somewhat inferior man. Gradually, she wanted to pamper and protect him, and even decided that he was hers for the rest of her life.

But at this moment, he chose to give up. It doesn’t matter, she respects his choice.

It was inevitable that she would feel regretful to give up this somewhat touching relationship.

Xiahou Jiuyue gave him one last deep look before turning and leaving. Now that things had come to this, there was no need to add to the sadness.

Looking at the figure turning and leaving so freely and resolutely, Yu Suyuan couldn't help but burst out tears again.

In the dark, Ye Yi, who had never appeared, saw this scene and felt so distressed that he wanted to rush forward and hug the person in his arms and take good care of him.

After leaving the palace, seeing the princess coming towards her, Xiahou Jiuyue calmed down the heaviness in her heart and walked towards her.

"Fourth Princess." Xiahou Zhiruo spoke first.

Seeing her eyebrows flying, she seemed to be in a happy mood, Xiahou Jiuyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said: "Second sister."

"What's wrong with the Fourth Princess? She doesn't look well." When Xiahou Zhiruo came up to her, he noticed that Xiahou Jiuyue was very cold and felt quite surprised.

"It's nothing, maybe I didn't get enough rest." Xiahou Jiuyue said with a very calm expression on her face.

Then he continued, "Second sister, your face is full of joy and radiance. Is there something good happening?"

She still clearly remembered Xiahou Zhiruo's shocked, aggrieved and speechless expression when the marriage was arranged last night. However, only one night had passed, so how could he act as if nothing had happened?

Hearing this, Xiahou Zhiruo slightly raised her eyebrows, with a hint of pride between her eyebrows, "There is a good thing. Speaking of which, I would like to thank the fourth sister for her advice and strategy. She helped me stabilize the court and win back the old ministers. I will remember this favor."

"However, I want to tell you that the ministers of the Xianwang and Duanwang are already fighting each other. I believe it won't be long before both sides will suffer losses. Next, let's wait and see the dog-eat-dog fight!"

The Fourth Princess's plan was indeed effective. Not long after, the alliance between Prince Xian and Prince Duan was like a kite with a broken string, gone forever.

Xiahou Jiuyue's face did not show too much surprise, she had known about this result for a long time, "The eldest sister and the fifth sister are not stupid people, they will definitely have doubts after a long time."

"I think that while the two of them haven't reacted yet, Second Princess can give them some advice. By then, there might be some unexpected gains."

Looking at the charming woman with a slightly raised mouth, Xiahou Zhiruo's eyes flickered slightly, "I didn't expect that the Fourth Princess would have the same idea as me. To be honest with you, I am thinking about how to advise the two of them right now."

I didn't expect the Fourth Princess to be so shrewd and cunning that she actually told everyone all her thoughts and plans.
