Qiao Yu choked up, saying, "Please, Ninth Princess, save me. This is a spell that my father arranged with an old Taoist, so... so that's why the Royal Heir fell in love with me at first sight and remains devoted to me."
Nanli's face darkened, her eyes piercingly black. Before she could speak, Ye Siheng emerged from the back hall, saying, "Although the Royal Heir's abilities are average, he still knows where his responsibilities lie. A few days ago, he was willing to give up his position as Royal Heir just to marry you. I found it suspicious."
He sat down with his robe flowing, exuding a commanding presence. Qiao Yu glanced at Ye Siheng and saw his sharp gaze, so she lowered her head, unable to meet his eyes. She broke out in a cold sweat, even her palms sweating. "Ninth Prince, this is... all because of my father's arrangement. It has nothing to do with me."
"Nothing to do with you? Are you saying you're not surnamed Qiao?" Ye Siheng asked coldly.
