The elder brother's arrival had me grinning from ear to ear.

But when he saw me at the palace gate, he froze for a moment.

Then he rushed inside to see the two of them.

When he came out, his expression was extremely unpleasant.

He gave me a deep look.

Suppressing his anger, he dealt with this messy affair.

Originally, everyone was quite worried. After all, this was just an envoy from the Northern Desert...

If the Second Princess married him, it would be quite unfair.

At this moment, the envoy revealed his true identity.

Oh, he turned out to be the Northern Desert King, Yelv Han. He came pretending to be an envoy this time.

Let's not delve into why the Northern Desert King disguised himself as an envoy for now.

But the Barbarian King is indeed a suitable match for the princess.

However, it seems that the elder brother was not surprised at all about the envoy being the Northern Desert King.

After resolving this mess, the elder brother went to the morning court as usual.

Xiao Jingqing looked at me with resentment.

As if I was the cause of all this.

Oh, right, I did plan it all.

But if I hadn't involved her, then it would have been me marrying off to the Northern Desert.

During last night's banquet, the elder brother specially prepared the Hehuan San pills for me.

He and the Empress, as well as Xiao Jingqing, left the table to give the Northern Desert King a chance.

In fact, the elder brother knew early on that the envoy from the Northern Desert was the Northern Desert King.

He had long prepared to push me into a marriage alliance.

After all, once he ascended the throne, I would no longer be his support, but rather an obstacle to his governance.

Even though his statecraft was as lousy as a dog's arrow.

He knew that with my temperament, I would definitely not obediently agree to a marriage alliance.

So he came up with such a despicable scheme.

Unfortunately, he was cunning and clever, but he overlooked the fact that within this palace, I had more people on my side than he did.

That's why my plan could unfold so smoothly.

Within a single night, the situation reversed.
