Just listen to Xuan Du's faint voice: "Xiao Chengyi has never failed along the way. Isn't it nice to fail once in a while? At least it shows that he is still a mortal, not a god."
Xiao Chengyi glared at him: "You really hope that I fail? If I fail, you will suffer."
While Xuan Du was eating, he said, "So, you'd better think carefully about how to rescue us."
Xiao Chengyi laughed angrily at him: "Why do you always point at me? You guys should think of a solution."
Xuandu said: "With you here, we don't need to use our brains."
The corners of Xiao Chengyi's lips twitched, and he didn't want to speak immediately. He served Mu Yun'an some food and said, "Eat quickly, don't think too much. If the Sun family is smart, they won't do anything to us."
Xuandu said: "They won't do anything to us, but they won't be willing to surrender like this. They will always ask for some benefits."
Xiao Chengyi had already thought of this problem, and he looked gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, there was a swishing sound outside the door.
Mu Yun'an looked up and saw Sun Chengyu coming in with someone. He asked with a smile on his face: "Is the food in the house to everyone's taste?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "It's even worse than the imperial palace."
Sun Chengyu said with a smile: "The regent is ridiculous." After a pause, he added: "The regent just suggested it, and Sun thought about it carefully and felt that it was not a bad idea.
When we, the Sun family, tried to help Wei'er, we all mistakenly thought that he was the orphan of the late emperor, and this made a big mistake.
The regent was magnanimous and did not pursue any further investigation. We, the Sun family, are deeply grateful, but..."
Everyone thought Sun Chengyu had figured it out, but when they heard it, they couldn't help but become nervous.
Sun Chengyu said with a smile: "It's just a verbal promise after all. If the regent goes back on it later, wouldn't our Sun family lose more than we gain?"
Xiao Chengyi asked with a cold face: "So?"
Sun Chengyu said: "Throughout the ages, the most effective way to conclude a covenant is to get married. If the regent is willing to marry his daughter Shurong as his queen, our Sun family is willing to obey the regent."
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if I don't want to."
Sun Chengyu was stunned for a moment, then he said bluntly with a gloomy face: "If the prince is not willing, our Sun family will have no choice but to fight to the death with the court."
"Oh."
Xiao Chengyi smiled: "Okay."
Sun Chengyu was startled, but he didn't know what Xiao Chengyi meant by saying "yes". Did he agree to his request or not?
Just when he was confused, he heard Xiao Chengyi say: "If your Sun family wants to be powerful, it is not the only way to send your daughter as a queen. I can make her the princess and find a good husband for her in the future.
I don't like to be threatened. Even if she marries me, she won't get any favor.
Do you have the heart to watch your daughter jump into the pit of fire and ruin your life? There are many roads to wealth, and there is really no need for Mr. Sun to stick to just one, don’t you think?"
Sun Chengyu said: "How can the princess be as beautiful as the queen? Besides, my daughter has a huge admiration for you, the prince. As a father, I also want to fulfill her infatuation."
Xiao Chengyi said: "So, you have made up your mind to seek the position of queen for your daughter?"
Sun Chengyu frowned: "This is the only condition for our Sun family. If the regent agrees, we will be a family. If not...the lives of your friends will be at risk."
