In the carriage, Yan Muyun hesitated for a long time, but finally asked the question in her heart, "You and elder sister both think that the decline of the royal heirs is related to my father?"

"Could it be that Third Sister thinks these coincidences have nothing to do with father?" Yan Muxi asked back.

The laws of Dafeng do not prohibit witchcraft because witchcraft is not popular in Dafeng, and there are only a handful of witch doctors to be found in the entire city of Luodu.

The female witch doctor had a close relationship with Yan Yongchen, and the accident of the royal heir happened to be related to witchcraft. It was all too coincidental.

"Of course I have my suspicions, but I hope it has nothing to do with my father."

"Why? Could it be that Third Sister still cares about the father-daughter relationship?"

Yan Mujun was filled with worry. Where did the father-daughter relationship between her and her adoptive father come from? If there was any, it was in the original owner's memory, but that little friendship was not enough for her to deceive herself and lose her conscience.

"I don't want this matter to be related to my father, because once it is related, the entire Yan family will be implicated. What will my mother, aunt, and brothers and sisters do then?"

Yan Muxi smiled bitterly. Yan Muyun's worries were also what she was worried about.

Everyone in the Yan family is tied to Yan Yongchen. If Yan Yongchen commits a heinous crime, none of his nine relatives will escape, and even his married daughter Xingding will be implicated.

Therefore, she was confused most of the time, not knowing how to cut off Yongchen's ambition and save the innocent lives involved.

On the eighth day of the eighth month, at dawn, Princess Anguo's marriage team set out for North Vietnam.

On the same day, the imperial court issued an imperial decree. Because Dafeng had friendly diplomatic relations with North Vietnam, the emperor was concerned about the people of Dafeng, so he opened a special examination, granted amnesty, and reduced taxes by 20%.

The general amnesty and tax reduction won over the working people, while the special imperial examinations bought over the scholars.

Emperor Yuanjing's move not only resolved the negative public opinion brought about by the princess' marriage to North Vietnam, but also earned him a reputation for benevolence.

As September approaches, the summer heat completely fades away.

Every day, Yinxia pretended to chat about gossip and told Yan Muxi the news she heard from outside.

"Li San has returned from the south. In addition to cloth, he also brought back several brightly colored glass cups. Would the Crown Prince's wife like to take a look?"

"If you have nothing else to do, take it over and have a look. If the glass cup is useful, give two to the eldest sister and the third sister. Oh, and also send two to the mother's courtyard."

Li San was the person sent by Yan Muxi to Jiangnan to ask Minghui for the medicine pills. He used the excuse of sending the glass cup to deliver the medicine pills to the East Palace.

Yu Wantai said, "Just send the colored glass cups to Dingbei Marquis's Mansion and Changle Palace. Mother has never been interested in novel things, so there is no need to send them to Zhuxiang Hall."

"How do you know that mother doesn't like glass cups? Mother will definitely like the gift I gave her."

Yu Wantai smiled, did not argue with Yan Muxi, and got up to go to the bathroom.

After the others disappeared from sight, Yin Xia lowered her voice and talked about other things, "The marriage team arrived in Northern Xinjiang half a month ago, and the Seventh Prince of Beiyue personally welcomed the bride. According to the date, the eldest princess should have arrived at the Imperial City of Beiyue by now."

"The marriage was so smooth, without any setbacks along the way?"

Yinxia denied, "No, everything went smoothly all the way."

Before the eldest princess' marriage, the people behind the scenes spent a lot of money to spread public opinion, and their purpose must have been to prevent the marriage between the two countries.

Yan Muxi was very confused. Why did the lit firecrackers become duds silently?

At the same time, in the capital of North Vietnam, the eldest princess woke up in a strange house. She looked at the man in front of her and was furious.

"Fan Minglang, who instructed you to bring me here?"

Fan Minglang stared at the eldest princess, his eyes full of affection. "No one instructed me, everything was my own idea. The Seventh Prince of North Vietnam has a perverse temperament and has tortured many of his wives and concubines to death. I don't want the princess to fall into his claws."

Facing the affectionate look of the man in front of her, the princess was not moved at all, but only filled with disgust and anger, "Where I ended up is none of your business, Fan Minglang. Send me back to the post station quickly."

"Absolutely not! If the princess returns to the post station, she will have no chance of escape!"

"I am the eldest princess of Dafeng. Even if I die, I will never be a deserter."

When the eldest princess and her two companions returned to the gate of the post station, they happened to meet the eldest prince who was out looking for someone.

The eldest prince ordered his men to tie up Fan Minglang and drag the eldest princess into the post station.

As soon as he entered the room, the eldest prince threw down all the cups and utensils on the table, turned around and pointed at the eldest princess' nose and said angrily: "Yu Shuya, do you know how stupid you have done? If you anger the North Vietnamese royal family, you and I will die here."

The eldest princess had calmed down by now. She sat down calmly on the armchair beside her and said, "My brother's head is safe. North Vietnam is facing constant internal troubles and we dare not take the initiative to provoke a war."

Hearing her say this, the eldest prince's anger receded for the most part, but he still complained, "The royal sister shouldn't have had sex with a man outside her family. If the news of your absence from home overnight reaches the ears of the Seventh Prince of North Vietnam, how will you two get along after you get married?"

"Let's get along however we want. You can't be a loving couple anyway." The eldest princess said it indifferently, but there was sadness in her eyes.

The mother of the seventh prince of North Vietnam was of humble origins, and was able to grow up under the care of the Queen Mother. It was rumored that he was cruel and ruthless.

When they first met half a month ago, the eldest princess felt that the seventh prince she was going to marry was not as ferocious and terrifying as the rumors said. He had a bright face and seemed easy to get along with.

She had originally planned to put away her bad habits and get along well with the Seventh Prince before the war between the two countries broke out, so that when the two countries went to war, she would still be sympathized with and her end would not be too tragic.

But now, she was taken away by a man from another world and did not return all night, and she had lost the chance to be pitied.

She couldn't understand why Fan Minglang secretly kidnapped her. What good would it be to do this to the Duke Zhongyi's mansion?

September 18th is Yan Muxi’s eighteenth birthday.

While getting up in the morning and dressing up, Yin Xia said, "Jiangnan sent a birthday gift a few days ago. Would the Crown Prince's Consort like to go and take a look?"

"Don't worry, wait until you have breakfast!"

Seeing Yan Muxi's lack of interest, Yu Wantai teased, "Why are you so unhappy after receiving a gift? If you don't like it, you can give it to me instead. I won't mind."

Yan Muxi rolled her eyes at him angrily, "How can you say such shameless words? Last year on my birthday, you gave me three big pears, but this year, there are no pears at all!"

Yu Wantai sat up straight, "How come it's gone? Aren't all the pears on the tree waiting for you to eat?"

Yan Muxi suddenly turned to look at him, glanced at him and then turned back, "Okay, the prince is really generous, very generous."

She had actually been looking forward to Prince Gou's birthday gift, but she really shouldn't have had any expectations.

A fickle playboy, even if he has a heart, it will be fake and cannot be taken seriously.
