Jin Xueyuan and the entire Xian Dynasty have only one goal: to persuade Li Chen, as Crown Prince, to pass a resolution for Da Qin to send troops to Xian.

But the problem is that, given Qin's current national situation and environment, forcing a military campaign would cost Li Chen dearly.

But these things are not something Jin Xueyuan would consider.

She only wanted Qin soldiers to enter her country, to fight against the Wako pirates from the East Islands and to save her own nation.

It's not about right or wrong, it's just the inherent selfishness of human nature.

Able to travel through time, Li Chen wouldn't be a lickspittle for any woman.

No matter how beautiful it is.

He's the one being licked too.

Li Chen's cold, almost ruthless words made Jin Xueyuan want to retort. However, the facts were right before her eyes. She wouldn't consider the great price Li Chen had to pay to fulfill his desires, so Jin Xueyuan felt very inadequate.

"But such things are only done by truly loving couples after they get married. You're using your power and influence to force me into this, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation" Jin Xueyuan was making her final stand.

Li Chen chuckled softly: "Loss of identity If not for this identity, how could this palace have the honor of being close to a princess's grace Therefore, this palace is making the most of this identity. How could it be considered a loss"

As they spoke, Li Chen had already undone the clasp of Jin Xueyuan's collar with his hand outside.

Her porcelain-like skin, as white as condensed milk, was exposed in the carriage. A faint fragrance wafted up, painting a silhouette of white and delicate pink.

He lowered his head and buried it in Jin Xueyan's neck, his face covered in fine stubble rubbing roughly against her fair, delicate skin.

The close intimacy of Shi Mo caused Jin Xue Yuan's whole body to tremble.

Jin Xueyuan wanted to stop Li Chen from taking advantage, but several facts proved that Jin Xueyuan couldn't be Li Chen's opponent in this aspect at all...

The carriage swayed, and Jin Xueyuan suddenly let out a low cry, causing the two guards accompanying the carriage to become alert.

"Princess, but has something unexpected happened" asked a guard.

In the carriage, Jin Xueyuan bit her lip, trying hard to keep her voice steady as she said, "I'm...fine."

The guard instinctively sensed that the princess's tone was off, but when the princess said she was fine, he couldn't force his way up to check. So he said, "But did the bumpy carriage startle the princess My subordinate will make the carriage ride more smoothly. If there is anything else, please order the princess."

The carriage was silent, no more sound from Jin Xueyuan.

The road from the East Palace to the post house was not long. There were quite a few people accompanying the carriage, and even with the heavy snow, it only took over half an hour to get there.

But after the carriage stopped, Jin Xueyuan remained inside for a long time.

A group of guards tasked with protection stood awkwardly facing the members of the envoy from Xianshao, unsure of what to do.

No one dares to urge him.

It's not good to stand in the snow like this.

Those guards were soldiers from Qin and didn't need to be concerned with much. After waiting for a moment, they greeted the embassy personnel and left on their own accord.

After all, Jin Xueyuan is the princess of Xian Dynasty, not the princess of their Great Qin Dynasty. There's no need to wait for Jin Xueyuan to come out all the time.

The emissaries of the Xian Dynasty looked expectantly at the carriage, uncertain whether they should muster their courage and approach. Just then, the curtain inside was lifted from within.Yelü Gǔzàn is furious like thunder.
