“Fourth Princess, don’t you want to save yourself?”
Shen Qi sat opposite her, delicately picking up a chess piece and placing it on the board. “It there a way to make a chess piece become a chess player?”
The Fourth Princess stared blankly at the chessboard for a while before slowly raising her eyes to meet Shen Qi’s gaze.
Her eyes were like a stagnant pool, devoid of any ripples, as she replied with a hint of mockery in her tone, “Seventh Princess, you speak so lightly.”
Unfazed, Shen Qi calmly made her move. “Fourth Princess, are you afraid?”
Afraid? Not afraid? Is that even the question?
The Fourth Princess raised an eyebrow, her lips curling slightly. “Am I supposed to defy the imperial decree?”
If she refused to marry into the Qiang tribe, her younger Sister, the Fifth Princess who shared the same mother, would be forced to do so.
Not only that, it would anger the Emperor, bring disgrace upon her mother and her maternal family. What was the point?
