That day at the ambassadors' banquet, when Shen Kai was enjoying the dancing of the female dancers, she had wanted to practice. Shen Kai was about to become her husband, so she naturally hoped that her husband would place his gaze on her.

She tried her best to do what Shen Kai liked, even if it was for a high and mighty princess like her to practice the dance.

Gong Lier's body was very good, and she had also trained in martial arts, so she had a talent in dancing. It was a pity that only the dancers could see him, and other men wouldn't, but only Shen Kai could. She only danced for Shen Kai's sake.

She wanted to dance for Shen Kai on the wedding day, the night of their wedding wedding night.

Just as she was engrossed in her training, the cries of the palace maids came from outside the hall.

"Princess, Princess, something terrible has happened."

Gong Lier stopped dancing and indicated for the dancers to leave. She had already told the dancers not to enter the palace to disturb her unless it was an important matter and Prince Consort to enter the palace to report to her.

In the Nine Continents, people thought that it was a bad habit for women to learn dancing. Only the ladies of the brothel or the ladies in the brothel could learn how to dance, and Gong Lier was the aloof Princess Liu-Li, how could she be compared with the girls in the brothel. As a result, only the dancers knew about Gong Lier's practice, not even the maids beside her knew that she was secretly practicing dancing. If the news were to leak out, even if the Emperor was unwilling to punish her, how would the ministers of the imperial court and the citizens of the Nine Continents view her?

"Come in!" After sending the dancers off, Gong Lier called for the people outside the door.

The palace maids all knew that she liked peace and quiet. Normally, they wouldn't disturb her so easily. When they called for trouble outside the door, they didn't inform her about the arrival of Prince Consort.

"What happened?" Gong Lier was still recalling her dancing movements just now, as she wanted to let the palace maids leave as soon as possible. After all, the wedding day was not far away, and she had not yet become familiar with a single dance.

"Princess, the little Gui Zi who was by the side of His Majesty just now told me that today in the imperial court, His Majesty is discussing with the hundred officials in the imperial court to marry the Princess to the Ancient Southern Kingdom's Crown Prince and to marry the Ancient Southern Kingdom." The palace maid hurriedly said. Because they were running all the way, their words were intermittent, and they were still gasping for breath, sweating profusely.

Such a shocking piece of news caused all the dancing movements that Gong Lier recalled to disappear completely. "What did you say? Is that really what Little Gui Zi said? "

"Your servant would not dare to lie to the princess, I, Xiao Gui, was waiting outside the palace early today, and personally heard the officials discussing this matter, His Highness the crown prince and the eighth prince were trying their best to dissuade His Majesty, but His Majesty was determined to marry the princess to the Southern Barbaric Kingdom, and Bu Fang was trying his best to advise them, but His Majesty not only did not listen, he even beat them thirty times, cutting their official positions." As the palace maid spoke, she started crying, as if she was suffering for Gong Lier's sake.

"You can leave. I understand." Last time, the emperor wanted to marry her to the top disciple of the Martial Arts Competition, the imperial court's wuxiaozhuan. She cried and made a ruckus, but in the end, the emperor still insisted that she marry him.

When she found out that the wuxiaozhuan she was going to marry was the Shen Kai she longed for, she was even thanking the heavens for taking care of her. Not only did it allow her to see the light again, it also allowed her to become Shen Kai's wife.

Originally, she thought that everything was going in the right direction, and from here on out, she would live the same life as Shen Kai, the divine couple.

Gong Lier knew that if the other party was the crown prince of the Ancient Southern Kingdom, with her noble identity as the crown prince, there was no possibility of the Nine Continents turning him down, especially at such a crucial time like this, when the Emperor was doing it for the safety of the country.

The reason why Gong Lier could be so calm this time was because she knew how important this was. Her two brothers would never let her marry into the Ancient Southern Kingdom, and even the crown prince was on her side.

When Gong Lier heard about the marriage, Shen Kai had also received the news, and it was the crown prince himself who had come to the imperial palace, informing him of the matter. The crown prince's previous attitude and calmness had completely changed, and his eyebrows were creased.

Shen Kai was merely just a wuxiaozhuan, a fourth stage official, his opinions simply could not shake the decision of the Old Emperor. The Old Emperor wanted him to marry Liu Li, so he did not want him to marry, and he did not even have the chance to approach Liu Li.

"This matter is not only related to the life and death of Nine Continents, it also concerns you and Royal Sister Liu Li's future. Shen Kai, tell me your thoughts." Even he was unable to defy the orders of the Old Emperor. The imperial edict would soon reach the wuxiaozhuan Palace, and it would be announced to the world very soon.

"Even you and the eighth prince can't resist His Majesty's decree. Even if I refuse, the emperor will let Liu-li marry into the Ancient Southern Kingdom." Shen Kai was very clear that with his current abilities, it was impossible for the Emperor to take his views seriously.

No matter what, as long as the borders of the Southern Wasteland and the Jiuzhou were settled, Shen Kai would be of no use at all. The Emperor would definitely not care about Shen Kai's thoughts.

After a long time, the Crown Prince finally thought of a solution that didn't work out, "Why don't you take Liu Li and run away!"

Shen Kai stared at the crown prince. Right at the moment the crown prince had spoken, he had the same thought in his mind.

"No matter who royal father asked Liu Li to marry, his goal was to protect the peace of the Jiuzhou. When he first let Liu Li marry you, he hoped that you would be able to lead the army and fight against the million strong army of the Ancient Southern Kingdom. Although it was very risky, it was worth it for them to go all out. So royal father abandoned you and chose Ancient Southern Kingdom. Once you elope with Liu Li, the Ancient Southern Kingdom will definitely go to war with you, and the southern battlefield would start. The northern Great Yan Empire would also go to war, and under double pressure, royal father will definitely rely on you, and if you can stop the invasion of the Southern Wasteland, royal father will not blame you for eloping. You and Liu Li can be together in broad daylight. "

The crown prince's words moved Shen Kai. This was indeed the best method at the moment.

"Think about it carefully, I'll arrange for it to be done immediately." No matter what Shen Kai thought about it, he still wanted Shen Kai to do this, and was forced to use his father's safety to threaten Shen Kai's escape.

"No need to think about it, I agree." Shen Kai stood up and said to the crown prince.

The crown prince stopped walking. This was the first time a smile had appeared on his face since he had entered the palace.

"Please help the crown prince enter the palace and inform Liu Li that the emperor has already ordered for me to be barred from entering or leaving the palace."

"I will!" The Crown Prince nodded and said.
