When the eldest prince heard this voice, he grabbed the hand of the ninth princess as if he had a familiar burning sensation again, and he turned around violently with a shudder, and saw Zhao Yuan standing behind him for a long time, looking at him indifferently, as if he was looking at a dead man.

The eldest prince almost turned around and wanted to escape, but found that the ninth princess took the opportunity to break free of his arm and hide behind Zhao Yuan, she almost half of her body leaned on Zhao Yuan, looking pitiful, but when she saw the eldest prince, she showed an undisguised expression of disdain.

Thinking of the Ninth Princess's previous disdain and indifference to herself, the eldest prince couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, he glared at the man in front of him viciously and said: "Zhao Yuan, don't think I'm afraid of you, this is in my second brother's mansion, if you dare to make a move on me, I will let him go around without eating!"

The Ninth Princess immediately retorted: "Hmph, you don't dare at all! Otherwise, you go with me to meet His Majesty the Lion King, and tell him how you bullied me, Your Excellency Zhao Yuan is just standing up for me!" After speaking, the Ninth Princess glanced at Zhao Yuan with tears in her eyes, as if she had infinite grievances and sorrows.

Zhao Yuan didn't plan to fight with the eldest prince, but as soon as his mind moved, a familiar scene appeared again, and a cluster of flames suddenly appeared in the eldest prince's hand, but this time, it was another hand.

The eldest prince let out a frightened scream, and flapped his hand frantically against the surrounding trees and bushes, but the flames completely ignored other objects, and only beat and burned the eldest prince's hand. The eldest prince howled miserably for a long time, but found that no one came, and finally despaired in his heart, his back curled up in pain, and begged for mercy from Zhao Yuan like a ridiculous lobster: "Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked to the ninth princess, let me go!"

Zhao Yuan had already released the enchantment nearby, and he was not in a hurry at this time, he remembered what Mason had said to him before, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook up a sneer, and the heart of the Ninth Princess who saw it on the side was pounding.

"Great Prince, I heard that you are going to trouble me?" Zhao Yuan said slowly.

"No, I won't, really, put out the fire quickly, Your Excellency Zhao Yuan!" the eldest prince hurriedly assured, his whole body was convulsing and sweating in pain at this time, and he didn't have any other thoughts in his mind except to let the fire go out.

Zhao Yuan just looked at him coldly, and only after his hand completely turned blackened did he snap his fingers to extinguish the flames.

As soon as the flames were extinguished, the eldest prince collapsed to the ground as if he had been pulled out of his spinal cord, his whole body was still shaking, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out.

However, the next moment, he held his hand again and began to howl, only because Zhao Yuan released a healing spell on his hand. The healing itch dared to drill straight into his head, and it was as if someone was gently scratching his ear with a dog's tail grass, only to feel that the itch went straight to the soul and could not be relieved at all.

It wasn't until this hellish torture had passed that the eldest prince stood up tremblingly, and said incoherently: "No, I don't want it, the ninth princess gave it to you, don't burn my ......" It looked a little nervous.

Zhao Yuan thought to himself, this eldest prince should not have been made into a nervous disorder by himself! There was no movement on his face, but he just stared at the eldest prince with an inexplicable look.

The Ninth Princess tugged at his sleeve and motioned for him to go with her, and Zhao Yuan left here with her, and when she left, she also removed the soundproof cover so that the eldest prince could be discovered.

Zhao Yuan was taken all the way by the Ninth Princess to a more secluded place, and just when he was still a little confused, he suddenly felt a soft in his arms, and it was the Ninth Princess who took the initiative to hug him.

Caught off guard, Zhao Yuan's first reaction was to push away the Ninth Princess, but seeing that her eyes were full of tears, the strength in her hands couldn't help but soften a little.

"Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, you don't like me, right. The ninth princess said firmly. Her voice was a little choked, but her tone was calm.

Zhao Yuan was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing how to answer, but when he looked at the brown eyes of the Ninth Princess, he knew that deception was useless, so he nodded and admitted the words of the Ninth Princess.

"Ha!" The Ninth Princess laughed briefly, her face was already full of tears, but she showed a self-deprecating smile. "I've known it for a long time, but I've always been reluctant to admit it...... Although you seem to be very special to me, you look at me with more than tenderness and no affection...... I foolishly thought I had a chance to ......"

"What's the chance?" Zhao Yuan asked softly in his voice, as if he was afraid of blowing away the feathers in front of him.

The ninth princess closed her eyes, and tears flowed out even more violently: "I have been noble since I was born, not only because I am a princess, but also because I have awakened the charming bloodline of the fox clan. It stands to reason that I should inherit the throne, but my imperial sister took advantage of the critical illness of the queen mother, took the first step to sit on the throne of the fox king, and forced me to be a marriage chess piece. I really...... I really don't want that...... The eldest prince is greedy and lustful, and the second prince has a childhood sweetheart...... What about me, what choice do I have......" said this, she couldn't stop crying.

Zhao Yuan saw that she was crying so sadly, he still couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, he stroked the top of the ninth princess's head, and comforted her a little awkwardly: "Don't cry, it's not good for girls to cry too much......"

The ninth princess cried even more sadly when she heard it, Zhao Yuan was a little at a loss, and he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had to watch the ninth princess cry silently.

After a long while, the Ninth Princess calmed down and asked in a choked voice: "Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, can you take me away?" I am not afraid of hardship, I can be your maidservant!"

Zhao Yuan didn't expect the dignified Ninth Princess to say such a low voice, and was stunned for two seconds before shaking his head and refusing: "I'm sorry, I can't take you away." ”

The light in the eyes of the ninth princess was extinguished at once, and the whole person was ashen, as if a delicate flower had withered and lost its color in an instant. Zhao Yuan was a little unbearable after all, he pursed his lips and continued: "But I can help you push off the marriage and let you find a husband who you like in the lion clan." ”

The ninth princess raised her eyes slightly when she heard this: "That...... Then what do I need to do......" As a princess of the fox clan, she is naturally more realistic than others, understands the so-called dumping struggle better, and knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

Zhao Yuan looked at her and said word by word: "I want to know the true purpose of your marriage with the Lion Clan." The word "real" was specially read by him, and he knew that the ninth princess understood what he meant.

The Ninth Princess thought for a moment and nodded. Now the fox clan is her imperial sister's world, she is not a stupid girl who was sold and helped count the money, seizing the opportunity and making the most beneficial choice is the nature of the fox clan.

"It's not convenient to talk here, I'll take you to the guest room to rest first, and we'll have a good talk when the banquet is over." Zhao Yuan patted the ninth princess on the back soothingly, but saw her raise her head and show him a somewhat reluctant smile, Zhao Yuan originally wanted to say the comforting words suddenly couldn't be spoken, and the two were silent all the way.

Soon, the banquet ended, after all, the most eye-catching prince and the nine princesses of the fox clan at the banquet were inexplicably nowhere to be seen, and the purpose of the second prince was originally for the nine princesses, but now that the purpose has been achieved, naturally these guests will not be retained.

When the second prince came to the study with Mason and Liam, Zhao Yuan and the ninth princess were already waiting quietly.

"Second Highness, drink the medicine while it's hot. Celie also came to the study, she was particularly radiant today, her golden and thick hair was combed by her shiny and soft, draped on her shoulders made her even more beautiful, her already fair skin was more inexplicably soft and light, the faint freckles on her face disappeared, and the whole person was like a piece of flawless jade. She was wearing a red flat-shouldered tunic dress, revealing her rounded shoulders and sexy collarbones, and a slight hint of spring light on her chest, which made her look even more breasted and thin-waisted, and her figure was hot.

In contrast, the ninth princess with a melancholy face and a sad and weak gaze was overshadowed, and Xili's eyes passed over the ninth princess silently, before the corners of her lips were hooked, and her voice was as gentle as water: "Nothing is more important than the body, drink the medicine quickly, Second Highness." ”

The second prince, who had always been big, was unaware of Xili's small movements, and drank the potion as soon as he raised his head, then wrinkled his nose and showed a disgusted expression, and asked for two pieces of honey candy from Xili like a child to eat. It made Celie "giggle" and laugh.

The Ninth Princess was completely indifferent to the intimate actions of the two, until Mason said with a straight face: "Ninth Princess, now we are also partners, as long as you can help us, we will definitely give you a satisfactory result." ”

The ninth princess smiled faintly, her smile was like a crescent moon sweeping away the clouds, and she was extremely cold: "That's nature." ”

Seeing that the Ninth Princess did not use the Charm Technique, Mason was silently relieved in his heart, and asked, "Then I won't waste any time, what is the real purpose of the marriage between the fox clan and the lion clan?"

The ninth princess didn't beat around the bush: "I only know that the imperial sister made a deal with a group of people, and she was bent on letting me marry the eldest prince, I didn't understand why she was so confident before, but today I saw that the second prince had such a beautiful woman around the city, and I knew it in my heart." ”

Zhao Yuan raised her eyebrows, what the ninth princess said was not leaky, and she also raised Xili's hand, which was also telling everyone that she didn't think about the second prince at all, and she deserved to be the princess of the fox clan.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan saw Mason glance at him meaninglessly, and it occurred to him that the second prince didn't know Xili's intentions before, and it didn't make sense that the fox king could know in advance, unless- there was another reason for the fox king to be so confident, such as the second prince died?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan immediately spoke: "Then do you know who the people who contacted your imperial sister are?"

The Ninth Princess shook her head regretfully: "If I knew who they were, I would definitely find a way to kill them, and I would dare to negotiate terms with me!"
