Ban Ruo looked at An Ruowan's back, always feeling that this matter was not that simple, but thinking of Banni's eyes, he felt a little more pain in his heart, making him silently clench his hands.
There was nothing else going on in the princess's mansion for the time being, but when Arina returned, she threw everything on the table to the ground.
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Arina didn't expect that An Ruowan would be able to take out the poisonous insects, let alone how she did it. Especially the thought of giving up Ban Ruo made Arina filled with anger.
"Princess, why did we come to Daqi this time?"
When Lingyu saw this, she was afraid that Arina would vent all her anger on her, so she quickly spoke to persuade her.
Fortunately, these words did make Arina calm down a bit. Seeing this, Lingyu continued.
"He's just a doctor. After we go back, we can have as much as we want. But if we return from Daqi empty-handed, then the princess will suffer all these grievances for nothing."
Lingyu sounded like she was apologizing for Arina, but now these words have focused Arina's attention on other things.
Seeing that the anger on Arina's face had really subsided, Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, it will be fine in a few days."
As if Arina remembered something, she suppressed all the anger on her face.
In the next few days, Benny's physical condition gradually improved, which made Ban Ruo's mood lighten up a bit.
But in the early morning of that day, news suddenly came from the palace that the emperor announced that Gu Beichen and Arina had entered the palace one after another.
When An Ruowan heard the news, a look of surprise flashed across her face. Even though she had already guessed that it might be Arina's fault, she couldn't do anything now.
In the imperial study room, Gu Beichen stood in front of the emperor, still looking indifferent.
"Does the emperor know why I ordered the emperor's younger brother to enter the palace today?"
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he threw the question in front of Gu Beichen.
"I don't know what's important, Brother Huang?"
After Gu Beichen finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Arina who was silent on the side, frowned, but just pretended that he didn't know anything.
"Princess Arina has lived in Daqi for a while. You and the princess came back from the border together. You should know that the princess is here as an envoy of the Tuoba Kingdom."
The emperor said, but his eyes did not leave Gu Beichen, "The conditions proposed by Tuoba Kingdom couldn't be simpler now. Find a consort for Princess Arina..."
Before the emperor could finish his words, Gu Beichen raised his head.
"I didn't expect Princess Arina to come to Daqi so hard just for this matter. This would be easy to handle. If the emperor holds a competition in Daqi to recruit a bride, I believe there will be a suitable husband for the princess."
Gu Beichen obviously understood what the emperor meant, but at this moment he pretended to be confused and was unwilling to tell the result that the emperor wanted.
Even Arina looked to the side with wide eyes, as if she didn't expect Gu Beichen to be so confused.
"Princess Arina has a distinguished status after all. Is this too hasty?"
The emperor covered his lips and coughed twice, which was already a warning.
"I wonder how your brother is preparing?"
In short, Gu Beichen was not prepared to interfere in this matter. As soon as he finished speaking, Arina took half a step forward.
"The person I like, princess, is right in front of me."
Facing Arina's frankness, Gu Beichen frowned unconsciously and pursed his thin lips slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Arina's move.
"So what are Princess Arina going to do? Are you going to take Wu Hua Da back to the church to get married?"
Gu Beichen said this without changing his expression, but Arina's cheeks turned red, whether from embarrassment or anger.
"This princess is not so vulgar."
Arina never expected that in Gu Beichen's heart, she was such a person.
Hearing this, Gu Beichen's eyes fell on Arina, and then he sneered, "Then I don't know what the princess's behavior is at this moment?"
It seemed that Gu Beichen knew very well that the emperor announced him to the palace today precisely because of what Arina said.
Arina didn't expect that Gu Beichen would not save any face for her, so she immediately bit her lips and looked away.
"Okay, since in your mind this princess is so vulgar, then I might as well just do this. Gu Beichen, if you don't want to marry me, then Tuoba Kingdom will send troops immediately!"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. Even the emperor frowned a little, but did not say anything immediately.
Gu Beichen lowered his eyes at this moment, "Is the princess threatening me?"
"Didn't she just stop your carriage on the street and let you..."
What Arina said was the first time An Ruowan and Gu Beichen met.
Hearing this from Arina's mouth unexpectedly, Gu Beichen was stunned for a moment, but the next second, Gu Beichen's face became a little angry.
"Since you have heard about this, you should also know that because of this, I have granted the position of Princess Rong to her."
This was the first time that Gu Beichen admitted this matter in front of the emperor, and even the emperor's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Although the position of Princess Rong was agreed to early on, it has been so long now. Maybe Yuan Shuang has not taken this matter to her heart."
The emperor spoke like this deliberately, but Gu Beichen still lowered his eyes and said nothing. The emperor waved his hand and asked someone to introduce An Ruowan into the palace.
After An Ruowan received the emperor's instructions, she frowned. It would definitely be bad for her to enter the palace at this time, but she couldn't refuse. It was simply frustrating.
Feeling aggrieved, An Ruowan rode a carriage to the outside of the palace.
When she entered the palace, she did see Gu Beichen and Arina standing aside.
I don't know what these people were talking about before, but when An Ruowan first entered, she felt Arzina's eyes falling on her, making her feel like a light on her back.
"My daughter has seen your Majesty."
An Ruowan came to the emperor and bent down to salute, pretending that he didn't see anything else.
The emperor looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but feel that she was somewhat similar to Gu Beichen. They had the same ability to pretend to be confused despite understanding.
"Yuan Shuang, do you know your guilt?"
The emperor's words made An Ruowan's legs weak.
"My daughter, I don't know what is wrong. I hope the Holy One will make it clear."
Now that we've come, it would be a loss if we didn't figure things out before leaving.
Therefore, An Ruowan, who had come back to his senses, wanted to ask what was going on without even raising his head.
Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly, and instead said something that confused An Ruowan, "I wonder if Yuan Shuang has any marriage plans recently?"
An Ruowan shook her head subconsciously and turned her gaze to Gu Beichen. For a moment, she seemed to guess why the emperor asked such a question.
