I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 281 The Wind Rises in Jincheng

Everyone thought she would marry Yan Ruoyu, become the young lord's wife, and the next queen!

Although it hadn't been long since they last met, it felt like a lifetime had passed. Qianqiu Changhuan looked into Yan Ruoyu's eyes, which were glistening with tears.

"Brother Ruoyu." Her voice was not affected; everything seemed so natural.

Yan Ruoyu did not respond. I hadn't noticed it before, but now I always felt that she smelled of tea.

Moreover, she is with Yan Jinyi, which is probably not simple.

Moreover, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Qianqiu clan is not here.

Instead, it was Konoha City, which was farther away from here. Her father was none other than the Wood Lord, one of the Five Lords of the Zhen Clan.

"Miss Qianqiu, you and Mr. Jin appear here together. What is your purpose?" The tone was somewhat distant.

Hearing him speak to her like that, she wasn't angry at all, but just smiled faintly: "Brother Ruoyu, of course Changhuan misses you."

"Yan Ruoyu, the two of us will not fight you; we just want to share some information with you."

Yan Jinyi's lips curled up at this moment. He didn't have much affection for Yan Ruoyu, after all, they both shared the same surname.

Yan Ruoyu's maternal clan was a declining race, not even ranking among the surnames of the Zheng clan.

That is why he chose a wife in order to consolidate his position.

Despite being the young lord of the Zhen clan, he still received a lot of cold treatment from others.

He was determined to protect his mother's clan, but his people were very dissatisfied, feeling that his mother was unworthy of the position of queen.

Then, the group stood at the city gate, neither advancing nor retreating.

After exchanging words, Yan Ruoyu returned to her post outside the city.

He can't even enter the city now, let alone mobilize the Zhenwei Guards; the only ones he can mobilize are those inside and outside the imperial court.

These clan-raised guards are difficult to control without considerable strength.

He, along with Yin Yi and other trusted confidants, discussed what to do next at the base.

I thought that since this is a family member, they would at least give me some face? But I didn't expect their attitude to be so tough.

Thinking about it carefully, do you really not want to take that step and use the Qianqiu Clan?

Perhaps he wouldn't even need to take the initiative; the Qianqiu clan would come to him on their own.

Sure enough, before nightfall, the Zhenwei of the Qianqiu Clan arrived at their camp with Qianqiu Changhuan's personal jade pendant.

Despite being of the same race, they seemed to be separated by vast distances, and the Zhenwei guards were quite respectful to Yan Ruoyu.

“Young Master Yan, our young lady said she had no intention of being enemies with the Yan family. If Young Master Yan agrees to divorce Princess Ximo Mountain…”

After all the calculations, it turned out to be for a woman. Yan Ruoyu shook her head. Qianqiu Changhuan wouldn't be that stupid.

There must be someone behind the scenes giving him advice. Even if he really accepts Qianqiu Changhuan's offer and divorces Zhongli Yueluo...

At that time, the Eastern Demon Mountain will still fall apart, and perhaps the position of Demon Lord of the Eastern Demon Mountain will no longer belong to the Yan family.

It must have been Zhong Liyu who pulled these tricks behind the scenes; those small fry he captured were definitely useless.

So they set their sights on them. Although the situation was already unstable, they at least maintained a facade of harmony.

If he were to marry into the Qianqiu clan, the Changyu clan would inevitably rebel, and the Fire, Earth, and Two Lords would certainly become enemies.

After much deliberation, Yan Ruoyu still accepted the jade pendant: "If Miss Qianqiu can speak with me personally, I might consider it."

The guard who delivered the message didn't say a single unnecessary word, and simply cupped his hands in greeting.

After all, their mission was simply to deliver the jade pendant.

Yin Yi frowned as he looked at Yan Ruoyu. He didn't want Zhongli Yueluo to divorce him.

He didn't want to, both for his own sake and for public reasons. Although the Western Demon Mountain was in chaos, she was still a princess and a great help to their young lord.

This eternal joy has been relentlessly pursuing their young lord since they were classmates in their youth.

Now that their young master is married, she still harbors delusions; such a woman's motives are inherently impure.

"Young Master, do you intend to agree to Qianqiu's request?"

Yan Ruoyu shook her head: "But it's good if we can temporarily deceive Zhong Liyu's eyes and ears. The horns of the Zheng clan will only appear voluntarily, or when they are moved by emotion."

"You mean Zhong Liyu's real goal is eternal happiness!"

"I'm afraid so. After all, we've received information from the shadows that many people have already fallen into their hands."

"That's true. If it were so easy to obtain the horns of the beast, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths."

"Hopefully Yan Jinyi hasn't truly defected, otherwise things will get really troublesome. We're from the same clan, and I wonder how our father and the others are doing..."

"They've also cut off all communication from within East Demon Mountain. It'll probably take some time for the Shadow Guards to find out what's going on with the princess?"

"They should also be setting off for East Demon Mountain. If all else fails, we should join up with them first."

Yin Yi sighed. He hadn't expected that the princess would encounter such a mess on her first visit to Dongmo Mountain.

Thinking to himself that the princess wouldn't see such a scene, he packed up his belongings and ran away.

Then she shook her head, indicating that the princess still held deep affection for their young lord.

But they only spent such a short time together, is it really a deep and lasting friendship?

As he thought about it, his face gradually turned into a bitter gourd shape. Of course, Yan Ruoyu knew what Yin Yi was thinking.

"Stop thinking about these unnecessary things."

He scratched his head sheepishly: "Young Master, you know what I'm thinking?"

He chuckled lightly, clutching the jade pendant of eternal joy tightly in his hand, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

The guards returned and reported to Qianqiu Changhuan that Qianqiu Changhuan always acted that pretentious manner, whether in public or in private.

"You mean that Brother Ruoyu accepted the jade pendant and didn't notice anything unusual, right?"

Zheng Wei shook his head: "Young Master Yan said that Miss should talk to him personally."

"Talk to him in person? He'll be begging me to marry him on his knees. I hope what Zhong Liyu gave me will be useful."

“But he is, after all, a member of the Yan clan, and our Zheng clan is adept at combating witchcraft,” her trusted confidant reminded her.

"So what? It depends on his strength. I don't believe he can resist such temptation. Let's invite him to Tang Jinchi."

"Miss, what is it about Yan Ruoyu that makes you want to do this?"

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'What you can't have is always the best'? Even if he's already married, I'll make him break the taboo."

Qianqiu Changhuan's lips curled into a smug smile.

As long as the jade pendant remains with Yan Ruoyu, it will always play a role.

The confidant next to him shook his head; that was Yan Ruoyu.

Moreover, they still don't know the true background of the Jade Queen.

It's said she's from the Zheng clan, but is she really? And Yan Ruoyu has suffered so much oppression for so many years.

Would he willingly submit to someone else? He fought for this position of young ruler.

He probably won't easily let others shake his position.
