Marry Me?

"You…"

She had just said a word when he pulled her into his embrace. His slightly cold hand pressed against her forehead, which was still bleeding.

"Don't you like men with strong martial arts skills? Marry me and I'll grant you a lifetime of glory. In this life, there will only be you and no annoying concubines. How about it?"

The man's voice had a hint of seduction in it, but his tone was surprisingly firm and serious without any hesitation.

Ye Yining looked at him in shock. 

"You…"

Before she could finish, she was interrupted. 

"Don't be in a hurry to answer. Think about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her lips without any explanation.

Just as Ye Yining was about to resist, she realized that she suddenly lost all her strength.

Immediately after, a cold bead appeared in her mouth. Before she could spit it out, the bead melted in her mouth.

In the next moment, she experienced what it meant to be more bitter than coptis.

However, as he kissed her, the bitterness in her mouth turned into a faint sweet fragrance that was actually quite addictive.

"Three days later, I will ask you for an answer. I hope you won't disappoint me." After the kiss, Ye Shiyi left.

Ye Yining was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.

She raised her hand to wipe her slightly red and swollen lips and gently patted her burning cheeks.

Jun Jiuji appeared in front of her, so someone in the palace was pretending to be sick?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little tired.

Everyone knew that she had broken Jun Jiuji's legs on the street. Who would have thought that he could wear a mask and change his identity, living a carefree life?

There was no such thing as a broken leg. He was good at Qinggong and had just barged into the General's Estate…He was taking advantage of her.

If she hadn't seen his face under the mask before she died, she would still be living in self-reproach!

Wait!

What was he feeding her just now?

Ye Yining began to brainstorm in frustration, her thoughts completely disrupted.

Jun Jiuji, who had just left the General's Manor, was in a surprisingly good mood.

Jun Jiuji was still the best. He could do whatever he wanted.

If that girl rejected Jun Jiuji, she could forget about marrying Mo Huanchong.

She was his!

Whether she was willing or not, he would never give her to another man.

"Master, you gave the Spiritual Fragrance Pearl to Miss Ye, so how do you restrain the poison in your body?" Xue Ying, who was following behind Jun Jiuji, couldn't help but ask.

Master was too indulgent towards Ye Yining!

However, that woman didn't know how to cherish it at all.

"It's fine! The Spiritual Fragrance Pearl isn't of much use to me now. It can only relieve some pain. It's better to use it on her."

Jun Jiuji raised his hand and lightly touched his lips as if he was still reminiscing about that kiss.

The Spiritual Fragrance Pearl could stop Ye Yining's bleeding. This was more important than anything else.

"But she doesn't understand Master's intentions at all…" Xue Ying felt that it wasn't worth it for her master.

For so many years, her master had protected Ye Yining in the open and in the dark. Even if she was a rock, she should have warmed up. However, she was so stupid that she didn't know anything. She thought that the person who protected her was Mo Huanchong.

Jun Jiuji was silent for a moment, and then he looked in the direction of the General's Manor with a gentle gaze.

"She's still young. I'll give her some more time."

Next year, that girl will be of age.

He could wait for her, wait for her to give her heart to him, but the prerequisite was that her heart wasn't with another man.

 ..

Freezing Snow Pavilion.

Ye Yining, who had slept for less than four hours, suddenly woke up from her dream.

She dreamed of Jun Jiuji, of him hugging her dead body and crying in despair. She dreamed of him kissing her without hesitation…

After waking up, Ye Yining felt as if a piece of her heart was empty. It was extremely uncomfortable.

She always felt that she owed Jun Jiuji and that she should use her entire life to repay him!

The question that she had been thinking about for a long time during the day suddenly had an answer at this moment.

She wanted to marry him!

However, Jun Jiuji had used Ye Shiyi's identity to propose to her in the bathroom!

Who should she marry?

Although she now knew that Jun Jiuji and Jun Jiuji were the same person, the impact of marrying two people with different identities was different.

She could foresee that if she were to marry Jun Jiuji, her parents would definitely oppose it. But if she were to marry Jun Jiuji, there was no way to oppose it.

But if she married Jun Jiuji, she would definitely be more comfortable after marriage! She could often sneak home.

However, if she married Jun Jiuji, many things would be out of her control.

Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly heard some faint footsteps coming from outside. Then, a deliberately suppressed voice sounded.

"Chunlai, mix this medicine into the skin-condensing lotion that the young miss wants to use in two days…"

"I know. I know what to do when I see my sister…"

Ye Yining, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up and looked out the window with a cold gaze.

The sound came from the path outside the Frozen Snow Pavilion. She could hear the sound of rain hitting the umbrella.

Wait, this distance was quite far. When did her hearing become so good?

Seeing that she was Ye Yunjiao's personal maid, what was Ye Yunjiao up to?

After a long silence outside, she lay down again.

At this moment, she made a decision.

That was, she was going to marry Jun Jiuji.

Perhaps the identity of Princess Consort Ji would be a little troublesome, but it had to be said that when she wanted to deal with Ye Yunjiao, Su Yu 'er, and Mo Huanchong, she could borrow more power.

At the thought of this, she got out of bed and locked the door before falling asleep in peace.

 ..

The next morning.

Ye Yining woke up early to dress up.

Looking at the beautiful little face and smooth forehead in the mirror, she was slightly absent-minded.

What did Jun Jiuji feed her?

The wound on her forehead didn't leave any trace or scar.

In order not to be suspected, she put a bandage on her forehead.

Fifteen minutes later.

Ye Yining followed her father into the palace.

After entering the palace, she immediately knelt down outside the Qiankun Palace.

When the news reached the Emperor's ears, the Emperor was surprised.

This little girl of the Ye family was very bold. She had just beaten up his prince a while ago and even asked him to personally annul her engagement with Little 9th. What did she want to do this time?

For some reason, the Emperor was actually looking forward to this little girl causing trouble again. However, due to the previous incident, he still made her kneel outside for a full two hours before letting her in.

Ye Yining knew that it was her fault, but she wasn't angry. As soon as she entered the hall, she obediently knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Emperor, this official's daughter was wrong, please forgive her!"

The Emperor put down the pen in his hand and took a sip of tea. He then looked at the beautiful little girl kneeling below with a small cloth pasted on her forehead.

"I thought you were here to thank me."

Ye Yining quickly thanked him, 

"This official's daughter thanks the emperor for the blood-staunching pill. The wound on my forehead is recovering very well. But this official's daughter is here today to admit her mistake."

"Oh? Tell me, what crime have you committed?" The Emperor looked at her with interest.

Ye Yining bowed and said sincerely, 

"In order not to marry Jun Jiuji, this official's daughter provoked him on the streets. Not only did she hurt him, but she also betrayed the emperor's holy will. The emperor is wise and magnanimous. Not only did he cancel the engagement, but he also gave me the Blood Stopping Pill. He is really the most tolerant, wise, and benevolent emperor in the world."

The Emperor suddenly laughed. 

"What is your purpose?"

He didn't believe that this girl came just to compliment him.
