Wen Wang had always been a good-tempered person. It was only when she was truly angry that she spoke like this. In fact, Song Chaoyu couldn't help but feel that Princess Tiele's behavior was a bit too much.
But no matter what Wen Wang said, Tiele just lowered her head and kept crying. No one knew what she was thinking.
Although Song Chaoyu and Mu Changxi had also stayed, it was not appropriate to interject at such a time.
Wen Wang scratched her hair in annoyance, feeling utterly helpless towards Princess Tiele. "Tiele, why don't you just tell me directly, what exactly is going on, and what do you want?! The matter is settled now, and I've promised you. As long as you don't want me to, I won't touch you. You can stay devoted to whomever you wish, and I will never force you. What else do you want me to do?"
Wen Wang had reached such a point of despair. If Tiele still insisted on her own way, it would truly be too much.
Perhaps sensing that Wen Wang's patience was running out, Tiele finally raised her head and looked at Wen Wang.
Between sobs, she opened her mouth, but could not utter a single word.
This appearance made Wen Wang even more anxious. "What do you want?!"
Princess Tiele's gaze fell upon Mu Changxi. Finally, she quietly said, "I want to see him."
Wen Wang scratched her head and chuckled. "I knew it, I knew it! There's always someone in your heart! But you are now the Princess of Wen, and he is merely the Prince of Chang. You will no longer have any relationship. Why do this and make everyone anxious?"
In fact, Princess Tiele should not have been this way.
Mu Changxi also frowned, seemingly not expecting Tiele to be so obstinate even at this point.
In the end, Mu Changxi could only frown and then look at Tiele. "The person you want to see is no longer here. Why are you so persistent? Prince Wen is a good person. Wouldn't it be better to live a good life with him?"
This time, even Wen Wang heard the underlying meaning. "What are you talking about?"
He looked at Tiele. "The person in your heart has always been Prince Chang, hasn't he? Who else do you want to see? Is there anything else I don't know?"
But these matters had already tormented Wen Wang to this extent. He no longer cared about anything else.
So he waved his hand. "Forget it. Since you don't want to say, then I don't want to know. Things have come to this point, and I don't want to say anything more to you."
He turned and looked at Mu Changxi as if pleading. "Prince Chang, I think if she doesn't see that person, she will never give up in this life. Consider it as Prince Chang cherishing me. Let her see that person, alright? No matter the outcome, it will at least fulfill her wish. Don't let me suffer like this anymore. Consider it my plea to you, let her see that person, alright?"
Song Chaoyu knew that if it were anyone else, Mu Changxi would never agree.
But before him was His Highness Prince Wen. Mu Changxi could clearly see the pain in his eyes.
"Alas..."
In the end, even Mu Changxi sighed. "Must so many things be pushed to this point?"
He looked at Tiele. "If I let you see her, will you be able to live a good life with Prince Wen?"
Tiele finally saw hope, and her eyes brightened.
Without any hesitation, she nodded repeatedly. "Of course! I have many things to say to him. Seeing him once is enough. You know I would never hurt him! Letting me see him once is enough."
Her earnest gaze made Wen Wang turn his head away.
Mu Changxi glanced at Song Chaoyu, who also felt helpless.
Tiele insisted on making things this way. They could ignore Tiele, but they couldn't ignore Wen Wang.
"Alright."
After a moment of thought, Mu Changxi finally agreed to Tiele. "I will arrange for you to meet, but you are not allowed to cause any more trouble. And I will only tell him about it. Whether he wants to meet you, or what he will say to you if you meet, are all up to him."
"Good!"
Tiele's eyes finally lit up with full hope. "Seeing him once is enough! As long as you let me see him, I will do anything!"
At this point, there was nothing else that could be done.
Mu Changxi no longer paid attention to Tiele, but turned to look at the dejected Wen Wang. "Since that is the case, I will find a way for them to meet. But what happens after they meet, you must be prepared in your heart."
"Alright."
Wen Wang finally gave a bitter smile. "Can things get any worse than they are now? My reputation in the capital is already ruined. Everything is over. Nothing else matters. Let her see him!"
In fact, Song Chaoyu felt a bit sorry for Wen Wang. This marriage was not something he wanted, and now he had to bear such consequences. It was truly heartbreaking.
But Tiele was insistent, and who could do anything about it?
—
After Song Chaoyu and the others returned to the Prince's mansion, she couldn't help but ask Mu Changxi uneasily, "Are we really going to let Tiele see Qianshan?"
Mu Changxi nodded. "There is no other way now. Tiele knows Prince Wen's character well and knows that as long as he asks, I will definitely not refuse. It's better for them to meet. After all, no matter what happens, if things are made clear, they won't be troubled by these matters in the future."
Song Chaoyu could only nod. "Then let them meet! I only hope Qianshan won't do anything foolish. Those two... cannot be together."
For some reason, when speaking of this matter, Mu Changxi's tone became more certain. "Don't worry, Qianshan understands and won't do anything foolish. In fact, Tiele also understands, it's just that she cannot come to terms with it herself! We will handle this properly, and there will be no problems. However... we cannot let Father Emperor know."
Yes, they couldn't let the Emperor know.
Song Chaoyu also remembered something. "I asked Qiuhuang to bring back the Liang family. Should we question them?"
Mu Changxi nodded. "Naturally. They were likely sent by Tiele, weren't they?"
The Liang family was treated with "good food and drink" in the Prince of Chang's mansion.
It wasn't until the evening that Song Chaoyu and Mu Changxi met them.
In fact, before this, Song Chaoyu was almost certain that they were sent by Tiele.
But the interrogation results were unexpected—
The person who sent them to disrupt Prince Wen's wedding did not seem to be Tiele, nor anyone close to Tiele.
