He had arranged everything perfectly, even Shen Yun's withdrawal; she only found out about it afterward.Come to think of it, everything that happened in the palace, Duguyan was hiding it all from her....Yao Wan'ying glanced at Dugu City, "To be honest, this matter is indeed my fault, but it's also fate."

"What do you mean by that"

The Empress frowned slightly, “Yun'er has been waiting for the Yao clan to come and tell him about their betrothal ever since she knew about it. Xi’er’s appearance made him fall for her. Don’t you dare tell this palace that you never intended to marry Xi’er off to Yun’er.”

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Wan Ying knows she was wrong. However, I hope Your Majesty will give me a chance to explain."

Yaowan looked at Dugucheng, "The marriage between Xi'er and the Fourth Prince was not within my expectations. It was only after Xi'er was drugged and lost her ability to bear children that I found out it was the Fourth Prince. Later, the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty sent someone to tell me about this, and I could only agree."

"Who did it"

The Empress's face darkened, "She is the general's daughter, isn't she How dare anyone treat her like this"

"This king is also a victim. When the Japanese king was injured, he happened to meet Xi'er and became her antidote. This king only learned about Xi'er's identity afterwards and did not intentionally try to steal the Crown Prince's woman." Anyway, Xi'er is now his queen. Even if this Araxia dynasty is unhappy, it would not dare to fight him for Xi'er, right

He and Xi'er had already consummated their relationship, and they even got married. As for the debts he owed them, he would repay them in his own way.

"Fourth Wang Ye, if this Palace didn't care, Xi'er would have already been married. Would you be willing to give her up"

A chill rose in Dugu City's eyes, but he still maintained a smile on his face.

"Back then, when this king and Xi'er first got together, it wasn't exactly a love match. But after all we've been through, this king won't let her go. The Empress can ask for anything owed to the Crown Prince, as long as this king is capable, he will do it."

Dugu Cheng's words caused the smile on the Empress's face to gradually disappear, "This palace knew it would be impossible for you to say that. However, Fourth Prince, feelings are the most difficult thing to repay. Are you sure you want to repay them"

For Xi'er, I have to give it a try even if it's difficult.

Yao Wan Ying looked at the Empress's displeasure in her eyes and said, "Empress, the reason I came to the palace this time is to tell you about this. The engagement between Xi’er and the Prince can only...I can only disappoint the Prince."

If Dugu Cheng doesn't love Xier, this marriage, even if the Crown Prince agrees, she could let Xier marry him. It's just that now, Dugu Cheng's kindness to Xier, she sees it all. She can't let Xier be like her, living an unhappy life.

"Wan Ying, Xi'er has lost her memory now, she doesn't remember anything about her relationship with the Fourth Prince. This is the Huang Xia Dynasty, and Xi'er and Yun'er's engagement still stands."

The Empress spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense. This attitude was clearly an attempt to make him step aside for Xi'er.

“Your Majesty, everything has a sequence. The betrothal between the Yao Clan and the Aohua Dynasty, I admit, it was my mistake. But Prince Four and Xi’er have been married for several months now, you can't just ask Prince Four to divorce Xi'er, can you”

Dugu Cheng looked at the empress's expression, his brows furrowed.

"Your Majesty, how about we make a wager"

"What are you betting on"

The Empress looked at Dugu City, seemingly having already guessed.

"Who will Dugu Xia'er fall in love with Since Xia'er has amnesia now, let's wait and see who she falls in love with during this period of amnesia."

The Empress saw that Dugu City had spoken, "Are you not afraid that Xi'er will fall in love with Yun'er"

"This King believes in Xi'er, even if she has amnesia, her feelings for this King are at the deepest part of her heart, she will still fall in love with this King."

He had never wronged Xi'er, and Xi'er would not be disappointed in him. She would surely fall in love with him again.

"Confidence is a good thing, this palace will bet with you, and it's also an explanation for Yun'er."

Yao Wan'ying glanced at Dugu City with a worried look. Seeing his confident expression, her eyes showed concern. Now that Xi'er had lost her memory, how could he believe that she would still love him What if he lost the bet Would he just give up

She doesn't like treating relationships like a gamble.

"Wan Ying, the wager between Fourth Wangye and this palace, you will be our witness."

Yao Wan'ying responded, "That goes without saying. But regarding this wager, have you considered telling Xi’er and His Royal Highness"

Dugu Cheng looked at the empress and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager makes the decision.”

"Of course, this wager was between you and Yun'er. This Palace and Wan Ying were merely witnesses. All this Palace wants is to give Yun'er an explanation, after all, it was Yun'er and Xi'er who made the betrothal."

Dugu Cheng responded, he naturally knew he was unexpected, but often accidents are the best.

"Fourth Prince, this Palace heard that after your father's passing, you had relations with Xi’er, and thus were implicated. Now, you are at odds with the Great Yuan Dynasty, leading an army of 500,000 stationed in Linxi County. Is there truth to this"

"What does Your Majesty wish to know"

"This palace only wants to know who your father emperor was killed by. If Xier were to be with Yun'er, she would be this palace's daughter-in-law, and this palace has the right to know the truth."

Dugu Cheng suddenly laughed, the empress's words were indeed well-spoken.

"Xier is not the murderer of my father. It was the current Empress Dowager and Emperor who framed her. As for Xier, whether she can become the empress's daughter-in-law depends on her own heart."

After finishing his words, Dugu City stood up. "My lady, Empress, this king will go and see Xi'er. You two continue chatting."

He had said everything he needed to say. The rest of the time, he had to find Xi'er. He couldn't miss the opportunity to cultivate his relationship with Xi'er.

When Yao Wan Ying saw Du Gu Cheng leave, she said, "The Empress only wants the Crown Prince to see clearly the feelings between Du Gu Cheng and Xi'er. She doesn't actually want to fight with the Fourth Prince for Xi'er. Do you understand what I mean"

The Empress smiled, "Wan Ying, since you and I met, you should know that the marriage was your idea in the first place. The relationship between the Emperor and me was also orchestrated by you. I understand that you agreed to the engagement so the Emperor wouldn't leave with regrets. But Yun'er, this child, is just like his father. He is devoted in matters of the heart. I also hope Xi'er can be with him, but the situation now leaves me with little choice but to let Yun'er see clearly who Xi'er truly likes. Only then can he let go and find another suitable partner."

"This time, I'm the one who owes you an apology. The fate between Xi'er and the Fourth Prince was something I never expected."

Yao Wan Ying told the Empress everything, from when she had a high fever at age five and became an imbecile. She didn't care who Xi Er was with; all she wanted was for Xi Er to be happy. That was the only thing she could give her.

"Just let things take their course, Your Highness. This is all that I can give Yun'er."

The Empress let out a light sigh, “I hope Yun'er can open her heart.”

Huangfu Qingyun brought Feng Lingxi to a side hall to rest. Seeing that Xi'er was looking better, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, are the honored guests you speak of Dugu City and my mother"

Huangfu Qingyun heard Xi'er's address to Dugu City, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded.

"Xi'er, why do you call him Dugu City but address me as Prince"r journey. They encountered no assassins along the way and arrived at the inn arranged by Luo Li on schedule.This is the translated text:Here are some tips for writing effective website content.Good t...
