Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 209: Loving and Being Loved Are Two Different Things

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Yuexi asked curiously.

"Yuer, there is a mark on your forehead, the mark of a crabapple flower." Lou Moyu said in surprise.

"Mark? You planted the 'lover poison'?" Xu Yuexi asked back.

"'Lover Gu'? No, I have never been poisoned." Lou Moyu denied.

"No, you do. The secret royal medicine that your father asked you to take is actually the 'lover poison'." Tang Liuqing said.

"Did the emperor ask you to obey? When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?" Xu Yuexi asked hurriedly.

"It was shortly after you, Xi'er, returned to the palace. Father sent you a servant and a chief servant, and an argument broke out. At that time, Lou Moyu and I did not leave the palace, but were called away by the emperor." Tang Liuqing explained.

"Qianmo, why are you so stupid? Why didn't you tell me that you were infected with the 'lover poison'? Do you know that this poison will tie your life to mine? If I die, you will die with me."

Xu Yuexi didn't expect Lou Moyu to have taken the Gu so early. If he had told her earlier, she might have treated him differently, but he didn't say anything.

"I know. The Emperor told me that it would be nice to die with you, wouldn't it?"

"Qianmo" Xu Yuexi's tears flowed uncontrollably again.

"Okay, Yue'er, don't cry. I did everything willingly. My love for you and your love for me are two different things. Don't feel any pressure or force yourself. I'm just worried about whether this mark will affect you. Will it cause you any harm?"

"No, this mark has no effect on Xier." Tang Liuqing said.

The mark appeared simply because she was moved.

Tang Liuqing had long discovered that when he and Xu Yuexi were together, especially when they had sex, the crabapple blossom on her forehead would be particularly beautiful and charming, and that was when she was most emotional.

She is now in love with Lou Moyu, so the mark appears.

However, Tang Liuqing did not say it in front of Xu Yuexi. She was shy and he was afraid that if he said it, it would annoy her. What if she didn't let him get close to her at night?

At night, Xu Yuexi leaned in Tang Liuqing's arms.

"Feng Qing, I want to marry Qianmo as soon as possible, do you agree?"

She didn't want to let down a man who loved her so deeply.

"Of course, I've already told Xi'er that I respect any decision you make. As long as it's a man you want to marry, I will never stop you."

"Thank you, Feng Qing. You are so kind! But, we are now discussing marriage with several other countries. Will they agree? And will it be bad for them if I do this? Will it be unfair?"

After what happened with Lou Moyu, Xu Yuexi felt that it was very unfair for men to marry multiple men, because they might really give their all to love her and treat her well.

As for her, her feelings for them were not deep, and the unequal contribution from both sides made Xu Yuexi feel guilty.

"Xi'er, the decision is yours, and the choice is theirs. I've said before that it's a man's choice to marry someone, and who to marry, and no one forces them to do so. It's entirely their own will.

Xier is kindhearted and treats husbands with generosity and kindness. It is their blessing that you marry them. When you are in danger, it is the husband's responsibility to protect you. Xier does not need to feel guilty.

To tomorrow's dinner, I have only invited the people who are involved in our marriage alliance. I have already discussed everything with them. If Xier has any other ideas, she can tell them directly.

I have also invited Lou Moyu, and we can have a frank chat at that time. Xier, you don't need to worry about anything, you just need to attend the banquet happily."
