Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 276: The Self-Destructive Fool Has Arrived (Part 6)

’Indeed, he knows. Yet never thought to come looking for her.’

Qin Yiyao couldn’t quite describe the feeling in her heart, only spoke somewhat despondently, "They are asking for the Qin Country Princess to marry their Crown Prince, and they promise that once the marriage is agreed upon, there will be a fifty-year truce between Tu Country and Qin Country. Exchanging one princess for fifty years of peace for the people, this transaction is quite worthwhile, isn’t it."

The question seemed to make Mu Qingge silent, unable to respond.

She disdains this peace obtained through trading a woman, but what else could she say? Urge Qin Yiyao to boldly refuse? And then what? Should she be responsible for Qin Yiyao’s future emotional life?

"In Qin Country, I’m the only princess of age suitable for marriage. Compared to Yong Huan, perhaps I would be more suitable," Qin Yiyao said again.

Mu Qingge secretly nodded, acknowledging that Qin Yiyao’s words were correct.

If an alliance through marriage was necessary, she was indeed the most suitable candidate. In terms of grace, talent, demeanor, she truly excelled.

Mu Qingge’s silence made Qin Yiyao’s heart sink to rock bottom. She said, "Tonight’s banquet, Father will finalize this matter."

Mu Qingge raised her eyes and asked, "What did you come to me for?" If Qin Yiyao was unwilling to marry, then she would help her leave this place, leave this city full of exploitation.

These words made Qin Yiyao quiet.

In Mu Qingge’s wait, she finally spoke, "I just want to ask, are you willing to take me away? No matter where, just you and me."

These words seemed to exhaust all her lifelong courage.

She anxiously waited for Mu Qingge’s answer.

Mu Qingge remained silent. She understood that for Qin Yiyao, what she wanted most was not freedom, but her. Yet, ironically, this was the very thing she could not give.

Her silence extinguished the hope in Qin Yiyao’s eyes. "I understand now, you may leave." Hastily issuing a dismissal, she didn’t want Mu Qingge to see her in a pathetic state.

Mu Qingge opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Ultimately, she could only utter the words "Take care" as she rode away.

After Mu Qingge left, Qin Yiyao’s tightly bitten lower lip had already seeped with blood pearl.

She swallowed the blood, wiped away the tears on her cheek, called back her guards and palace maids, and entered the Qin Country Palace in the direction opposite of Mu Qingge’s departure.

’Looks like I’ll have to be mindful of boundaries between men and women in the future.’ Mu Qingge rubbed her temples in frustration, inwardly sighing.

She carefully recalled every moment of her interactions with Qin Yiyao, yet didn’t feel she did anything that caused the cold-hearted princess to fall for her. She had even severed the engagement timely upon recognizing the signs, severing the ties between the two.

Yet unexpectedly, she still hadn’t forgotten.

In self-reflection, Mu Qingge reached the gates of the Qin Imperial Palace.

Dismounting, she entered the palace with only Mo Yang. The Dragon Tooth Guards she brought waited outside the palace.

Following the guiding young eunuch, the two walked through the palace for quite a while before being led into a large hall.

Tonight’s banquet was held in this hall.

Mu Qingge glanced around, finding today’s banquet scale far inferior compared to the previous reception for the monster mister. Upon thinking of someone’s status in Linchuan, she understood.

’Indeed, as long as one is formidable enough, anywhere they go they are revered.’

Mu Qingge curled her lips in silent resentment.

She reached the palace hall where many guests had already gathered. Even her grandfather and aunt had taken seats at the Mu Family’s table.

Mu Qingge directly approached the Mu Family’s table and sat down, just as Mu Xiong said with a displeased expression, "Ge’er, be mindful tonight."
