Chapter 289 Yes or No?
"I've seen the princess, but I don't know why the princess summoned the officials here?" Xie Yuan opened his mouth first, facing a disheveled princess, his face was calm, as if it should be like this.

Princess Huaizhen began to pace slowly in the room, and while walking, from time to time, she looked sideways at Xie Yuan, and her eyes were clearly puzzled.

After hearing Xie Yuan's question, she put aside her doubts first, stood up straight dignifiedly, and questioned with pride:

"General Xie hurriedly followed the princess into the capital, did he come here specially to withdraw the engagement from His Majesty?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, he asked in shock: "Your Majesty has given you a marriage?!"

As soon as these words came out, Princess Huaizhen's expression was a little unnatural, she shook her body slightly, and said with arrogance:

"Not yet... Did you just say that you came here for this?"

Xie Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, and finally he was not charged with another layer of crime.

These days, her mind is full of the question of whether she can survive after confessing, so she has no intention to think about her, so she subconsciously replied:
"No."

But as soon as these words came out, Princess Huaizhen's expression changed, and there was shyness and joy in her eyes.

Xie Yuan felt a "thud" in his heart, and quickly changed his tone and said, "Yes!"

Princess Huaizhen's expression changed again, and she said angrily, "Is it true or not... You just said no?"

Xie Yuan said with a cold face: "I have come to report something bigger to His Majesty, and by the way, pushed back the Princess' kindness."

Princess Huaizhen looked at Xie Yuan's expression, narrowed his eyes, and approached two steps arrogantly.

She was already not much taller than Xie Yuan, and when she got closer, she felt more like the tip of a needle pointing at the wheat awning.

Xie Yuan also looked at her vigilantly, but he didn't retreat. Danfeng's eyes were cold and firm, and he repeated:

"Yes."

Princess Huaizhen saw that he didn't have the slightest hesitation or hidden meaning, and felt that she was ashamed of being sentimental, and was instantly furious, she sneered, and asked through gritted teeth:

"In order to retire the engagement, you actually came all the way back from the border? Am I that unworthy of you?"

Xie Yuan was very speechless, sighed and said: "I have already said the princess last time, it's not that I look down on it, it's just..."

She paused, and then said: "If the Princess has nothing else to do, and I have some important things to do, I will take my leave."

As soon as Xie Yuan turned around, Princess Huaizhen yelled, "Stop!"

Xie Yuan turned his face helplessly, then turned around again, slightly lowered his eyelids and looked at the ground, as if he was a submissive log.

Princess Huaizhen was panting with anger, and after calming down for a while, she said: "According to the logic, the princess should have engaged in marriage after 16 years old, and I must find a man who suits my heart, so I delayed until now. Father and mother have been anxious about my marriage, but there is no other way, if I mention it, they will definitely agree."

She paused, then glared sideways at Xie Yuan with a pair of almond eyes, and asked viciously:
"Why do you think I'm telling you this, guess what?"

Xie Yuan was preoccupied with his own life and death, and now he only felt that Princess Huaizhen was messing around and wanted to get out as soon as possible, so he said numbly:

"do not know."

Princess Huaizhen sneered, and said with a blunt smile: "... I have always been proud, and I can't bear the fact that I have chosen a husband for so long, but in the end he openly defied the order and made me the laughing stock of the world! So, I'll give you a chance... If you agree, we can talk easily, if you don't agree, don't blame me for using some means to ruin your reputation and never go to the battlefield again!"

If this threat was told to the former Xie Yuan, it would probably be very effective, but when Xie Yuan decided to confess his identity as a girl, this threat was not enough.

Her life and death are now a problem, so why worry about ruining her reputation and not being able to go to the battlefield?

So Xie Yuan remained calm, and with a gentle tone, he persuaded her with some helplessness:

"Princess, there are so many good men in the world, why do you insist on looking for me to make yourself ugly? You can definitely find someone who is pleasing to each other."

Princess Huaizhen answered very quickly, raised her voice and said: "My majestic princess wants the best, who can stop me?!"

Xie Yuan frowned after hearing this, and asked a little speechlessly: "How can you tell that I am the best husband candidate?"

"There are so many girls in Beijing who want to marry you, so you are the best. They can't get it, but I can get it. This is the best..." Princess Huaizhen said angrily.

Xie Yuan couldn't speak anymore, and thought in his heart: Princess, I'm not even a man, how can I talk about the best husband candidate, really... hey... let's not talk about it.

Thinking of this, she turned around and left regardless of Princess Huaizhen's intense emotions.

But just as she stepped out of the threshold with one foot, Princess Huaizhen's mournful cry came from behind her, and Xie Yuan turned her head to check in fright.

This was unbelievable, Xie Yuan was dumbfounded... I saw that Princess Huaizhen had torn off her coat, revealing the red coat inside, her snow-white shoulders were exposed, and one hand was pointing at Xie Yuan's nose , shouting:

"Dengtuzi, come and catch him!"

In an instant, the guards of the princess' mansion rushed over from all directions, surrounded the dazed Xie Yuan, and were about to tie him up if he spoke.

Xie Yuan didn't dare to fight back, and let those people tie her up with ropes... If she killed the people in the princess's mansion again, her crime would be even greater.

Dazed Xie Yuan's mind froze, his whole body was in a daze, and there was only one thought left in his mind: She still wanted to live...

Good fellow, it was the first time in his life that he was captured, and it turned out to be in the hands of a powerless princess.

This thing is getting more and more absurd...

Princess Huaizhen pulled up her regular clothes, covered her bare shoulders again, pretended to be pitiful, and stepped out of the threshold crying, looking at Xie Yuan at the bottom of the steps and said:
"General Xie... You are so frivolous and I want to leave. How can there be such a cheap reason? Follow me into the palace to see His Majesty."

Xie Yuan heard the word "Your Majesty", and then his dull eyes focused, and he thought in panic in his heart:
Come on, this is not the process I planned.

I haven't even gone to say hello to the master, so I was suddenly forced into the palace to face the saint? !

She is not afraid of the princess wronging her, after all, as long as she reveals her identity as a girl, the lie will be self-defeating.But the master didn't say hello, if he was unprepared and was called into the palace by the emperor to question and answer incorrectly, the crime of deceiving the emperor is no joke!

Xie Yuan stammered at this moment and said: "Princess... that... after you let me go to see Duke Shen, how about I go to the palace with you to meet the saint?"

Princess Huaizhen looked at Xie Yuan like a fool, and said, "General Xie, are you still dreaming?!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored her, turned around and stepped into the door, followed by several young maids, closed the door, changed her clothes, and prepared to enter the palace.
