Shu Xiao thought, if he couldn't marry his beloved in this life, then what difference would it make whether he married Princess Anding or someone else?

no difference!

"Crown Princess, I want to tell you that I will marry Princess Anding. Let's do this."

He had a tone of despair, dejected but determined, as if nine oxen couldn't pull him back.

Chu Heyi's voice was heavy: "Why!"

Why?

Shu Xiao closed his eyes and drank the cup of "poisoned wine". When he woke up, he was on Princess Anding's bed. The princess was naked and leaning in his arms, while her maids were waiting to serve her.

But, because of this, do I have to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess?

He didn't force the princess, and he didn't owe her anything. If the princess wanted to ruin his reputation, then both of them could do it together.

He is not afraid of having his reputation ruined.

But he remembered the princess's expression and eyes that seemed to see through him, "General Shu Xiao, you really want to break off the engagement with me, so you resolutely drank the cup of poisoned wine even though you might die.

"Unfortunately, that is not the poison that will kill you, but the good wine that will make you and me happy."

Shu Xiao was furious at the time. Regardless of the difference in status, he grabbed Princess Anding's throat. The princess could hardly breathe, but was still smiling at him like a madman.

The princess' face turned purple, but she laughed until tears came out. The tears fell and rolled on the back of his hand, feeling a little hot.

He released the princess' throat. After catching her breath, the princess smiled and said to him, "Do you want to break off the engagement with me and become the Crown Princess's male lover? The Crown Prince is in a coma and I don't know when he will wake up, or he may never wake up in this lifetime. So you, the dignified General Zhengbei, are going to become the Crown Princess's lover?"

Shu Xiao even wanted to kill someone at that time. His voice was extremely cold and his eyes were furious: "You slandered her like this and threw dirty water on her. Do you believe it? Even if you are a princess, I will kill you."

The princess seemed unafraid and continued to smile: "Then do you believe that if you break off the engagement with me today, tomorrow you will compete to become the crown princess' male favorite and the news will spread to the world?"

Shu Xiao grabbed her throat again, his eyes bloodshot: "Princess Anding, you actually don't have any feelings for me, you can even say you look down on me. You once wanted to cancel this marriage even more crazily than I did, why are you so entangled now?"

He did not feel any trace of love from Princess Anding's words and actions, so he really couldn't understand why Princess Anding was like this!

This was also the reason why he had never thought that Princess Anding would give him that kind of drug and then sleep with him.

Princess Anding was so proud. Even though he was the General of the Northern Expedition, in Princess Anding's mind, he was always a peasant who was not worthy of being on the stage. Without his status as a general, he was just a thug in the market. How could Princess Anding condescend to devote herself to him?

So, Shu Xiao really couldn’t understand.

Even if the emperor was sidelined and Xie Lin and Chu Heyi were in power, Princess Anding's interests did not conflict with theirs. As long as she behaved herself and canceled his marriage proposal, she would still be able to find an ideal husband, and Xie Lin and Chu Heyi would never make things difficult for her.

But now Princess Anding has gone against her normal behavior and has been pestering him endlessly, even sleeping with him...

However, facing his question, Princess Anding did not answer, but just smiled and said: "Guess~~"

No matter how angry Shu Xiao was, no matter how suffocated Princess Anding was, she never told Shu Xiao why she did that.

But Shu Xiao knew that if he really broke off the engagement with the princess, the rumors about him and Chu Heyi would surely spread throughout the world.

"General Shu, it is not difficult to cancel your engagement now." Chu Heyi's voice rang out, interrupting Shu Xiao's thoughts.

"If you think it's too difficult for me to do this and you feel guilty about it, then you can go to the Taiji Hall with me."

"No!" Shu Xiao looked into her eyes and said, "I don't doubt the Crown Princess's ability. As long as you promise something, you will definitely do it. I have always believed in this and I still believe it now."

Chu Heyi was really confused and puzzled. She asked again: "Why?"

Chu Heyi stepped forward and stared into his eyes: "Isn't breaking off the engagement what you always wanted?"

Shu Xiao looked away and said, "Crown Princess, I thought about it all night last night. Princess Anding is of noble status. It is a great fortune for my Shu family to marry her. Moreover, in my Daqi, as a consort, I can still go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I... have nothing to be dissatisfied with."

"Look into my eyes!" Chu Heyi said in a deep voice. Seeing Shu Xiao pursed his lips and looked over, she asked, "Is this really what you think?"

Seeing Shu Xiao pursed his lips to speak, Chu Heyi spoke first: "A good marriage can give people vitality; a bad marriage can make people lifeless. As the general of the Northern Expedition, whether you choose to be brave or cowardly will have different degrees of influence on the soldiers under your command. I hope General Shu will think it over before speaking."

Shu Xiao took a deep breath, as if he suddenly understood something, and said firmly: "Crown Princess, I want this marriage!"

Chu Heyi stared at him for a long time. This time, Shu Xiao did not look away and just stared at her for a long time.

"Okay!" Chu Heyi finally spoke, "In that case, I will let the Ministry of Rites continue to prepare for your wedding with Princess Anding! General Shu, wait to be the groom, and I'll wait to drink your wedding wine!"

She turned around and went back to Qianqiu Palace in the East Palace.

After her figure disappeared, Shu Xiao also turned and left. After making sure that no one could see him behind him, he sat down dejectedly on the edge of the flower bed.

"This is good, this is good..." Shu Xiao said to himself, "Princess Anding has always been at odds with the Crown Princess. If I marry the princess, I can keep her power by my side. She can no longer help others deal with the Crown Princess..."

She can have more time and energy to take care of Xie Lin, to wait for Xie Lin to wake up, to stabilize the Da Qi country, to take down the Northern Zhou Dynasty, to realize the real Da Qi power, and then, to defeat the Run Xue couple and take back Yanzhou City and Lan City.

His marriage to Princess Anding has great significance. Under the midday sun, Shu Xiao smiled.

Wen Tingshen's manifesto was quickly written. Before Xie Lin woke up, Chu Heyi sent out the manifesto in the name of the Crown Princess to every corner of Daqi.

For a time, the crowd was outraged and regarded Dongfang Shuo and Runxue as traitors.

After more than a month of escape, Runxue and his wife finally arrived safely in Yanzhou City, and soon after that, a manifesto denouncing them arrived.

At this time, Chu Heyi also received a memorial that made her tremble all over.
