’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.
