Huang Punuoxi's face became slightly pale with every word Nangong Ling uttered, without the calmness and color of the past. The next two words made her feel like she was struck by lightning, and her whole body stiffened instantly. Her lips trembled slightly

, murmured, "Prince Xuanyuan Xuan agreed?"

Pain overflowed from the bottom of her heart, and her heart seemed to be filled with sad tears. Huang Punuoxi's chest rose and fell slightly.

Nangong Ling kept nodding her head, "Yes! I agreed and the betrothal gift has been paid. I'm just waiting for the announcement tonight."

Huang Punuoxi tried her best to smile, but her smile was still so forced, and her eyes were dim. She held back the pain and sourness that threatened to overwhelm her, raised her head slightly, and said slowly, word by word, "Congratulations -

---Second Princess---”

Wang Yaer's body trembled and she immediately looked towards Huang Punuoxi. She saw a pained expression on her face, her brows were furrowed, and her red lips turned white in an instant when she said those words.[

But Nangong Ling didn't notice this. Nangong Ling smiled, and her dark eyes showed an extremely expectant look, "Thank you! If Luo Yu can accompany Ling'er to the palace banquet, Ling'er will be happier."

Wang Yaer's heartbroken eyes fell on Huang Punuoxi's fragile body. She always acted so strong, as if nothing could defeat her. She hid all her bitterness and pain deep inside every time.

Deep down in her heart, she didn't want anyone to see her sad scene.

She is like a stubborn and unyielding grass. No matter the wind blows or rains, she still has a glorious appearance. But she never shows the panic and fear she feels when the storm comes.

Every time she endured the pain of her soul and the blow to her body alone, she always persevered so strongly.

A trace of distress spread from the bottom of her heart. Wang Yaer's beautiful face had a heartbroken look, she felt sorry for her.

Huang Punuoxi suppressed all her sad emotions, with a charming smile forced out of her beautiful face. She said, "Since the second princess insists on Luo Yu accompanying her, then Luo Yu should be respectful and obey her orders." She said

His tone was somewhat joking, and no one knew how much deep pain and sadness was hidden behind that joking tone.

Nangong Ling was overjoyed when she heard this, with a smile in her eyes, "Then I will ask the maid to prepare a room for you, and you will stay in the princess's mansion tonight."

"Yes!" Huang Punuoxi couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness in her heart. Does he really want to marry her?

Huang Punuoxi's eyes fell on Nangong Ling. Looking at Nangong Ling's beautiful face with a soft smile in front of her, Huang Punuoxi's eyes darkened slightly. She was so pure, like a blooming lily.

, elegant and pure, but she is a rose that blooms in the dark night, full of evil and blood, and looks even more coquettish and rampant under the cold moonlight.

Two completely different women, she was covered in blood and dust, but she was pure and elegant, not stained by a trace of dust.

In the room---

"Nuo Xi, why did you agree to go to the palace banquet?" Wang Yaer's eyes flashed with a worried look. She was afraid that the emperor, Nuo Xi, would collapse after hearing this.

Huang Punuoxi raised her head and looked at Wang Ya'er. A faint smile appeared in her eyes as bright as the sea. She said, "I won't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes."
