When Yuan Zi heard this, he was stunned and even his body shook.

indeed.

Her father had advised her more than once to give up her thoughts on Xiao Yan.

At first, she thought that he valued Xiao Yan and was afraid that the identity of a royal consort would hinder his path to success.

But when she saw that her sister's husband was still valued after marrying her sister, she denied her previous guess.

When she once again asked her father to grant her a marriage with Xiao Yan, her father got very angry and warned her not to get close to Xiao Yan again.

For this purpose, he even went so far as to drive himself to the imperial mausoleum.

But why!

What exactly is the reason that makes her father so opposed to her and Xiao Yan getting married?

Xiao Yan looked at the expression on Yuan Zi's face coldly, knowing that Emperor Xuanwu must have said such words to her, so he simply stopped talking and turned to look at Shen Qiyin and said, "I should have asked you in advance, but when I entered the palace today, His Majesty suddenly issued an order."

I think he knew Yuan Zi had returned to Beijing, and in order to prevent her from causing trouble, he did this to completely stop her from having any thoughts.

After Shen Qiyin heard what Xiao Yan said, he suddenly asked him, "From what you said, it seems that you are not willing to marry me?"

Xiao Yan raised his thick black eyebrows slightly. When he raised his hand, Shen Qiyin immediately protected his forehead and begged for mercy: "Don't play it, I'm just talking nonsense!"

I was just teasing him, why did he get so angry?

That's really not cute.

But there was one thing she really hadn't figured out.

Although she didn't have much contact with people in the palace, she could feel the favor and trust that the current emperor had for Xiao Yan. With such a confidant, how could His Majesty let him marry her, who had no identity or background?

Logically speaking, those in high positions should value family background the most.

In front of Yuan Zi, Shen Qiyin didn't dare to ask directly. She finally waited until the former left before she expressed her doubts.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan replied, "Because if I marry a girl from an aristocratic family, if Princess Shouchang makes trouble in the future, Your Majesty will be caught in the middle and it will be somewhat difficult."

"If he indulges the princess, it will certainly chill the hearts of the princes and dukes, and it will also be bad for his reputation if the news gets out."

"But if he wants to punish the princess severely, she is his own daughter after all, and even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so he can't really kill her."

Shen Qiyin nodded thoughtfully.

understood.

She has no one behind her and has no capital to compete with Princess Shouchang, and this will save His Majesty a lot of trouble.

"Of course, these are not the most important things." Xiao Yan changed the subject: "The most important thing is that the only person I want to marry is Yin Yin. I don't want anyone else."

"If His Majesty really wants to issue an order, do you dare to disobey it?"

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, just looked at her silently.

Those eyes were dark, like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.

She felt a chill down her spine for no reason, and she felt that he was really capable of disobeying the emperor's order.

Very strange...

But she inexplicably felt that the message he was conveying to her was that Emperor Xuanwu would condone his reckless behavior.

She wanted to ask more, but suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to find him, so she immediately pulled him to a secluded place and told him who she had just seen and what she had guessed.

Xiao Yan suddenly grabbed her hand when he heard half of it and asked anxiously, "Are you sure that woman said her last name was Si?"

Shen Qiyin rarely saw Xiao Yan showing such emotion, and after a moment of shock, he nodded: "Si Tunan told me."

"She now lives in the small courtyard in Huaiyang Lane. You can go there and confirm it yourself."

"it is good."

After the two of them finished talking, they set off immediately.

Chusi drove very fast and arrived at the destination in no time.

Xiao Yan hurried forward, but stopped suddenly after entering the house.

Shen Qiyin followed behind him and faintly heard him call out, "Aunt Si..."
