Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

"Absolutely not!"

The old woman who had followed her out of the palace gasped softly and said indignantly,

"Your Highness is the Emperor's eldest daughter, a woman of noble birth. Isn't it enough that you have condescended to beg at her door?"

"She's just a princess from another clan, does she deserve the obeisance of the current Grand Princess?"

These words struck Cheng Yi deeply.

She originally thought the same thing: that it would be enough for her to personally beg at his door and humbly apologize.

I never expected that this vile woman would demand that she, a princess, bow every three steps and kowtow every five steps!

Cheng Yi trembled with anger, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"If you don't bow, my son will die! What are you going to do with me?"

"This old servant will accompany Your Highness to the palace immediately to plead with His Majesty to issue an edict to save the people!"

The old woman said in a harsh voice, "I don't believe we can't handle a little girl like her!"

"You think Yin Liuli made you worship her?"

Gu Fanghan glanced coldly at the master and servant, and slowly said, "Ayi, do you still not understand? You are worshipping your own arrogance and rudeness."

"You, so arrogant and self-important, will personally extinguish Yan'er's hope of survival because of the resentment you hold in your throat."

Cheng Yi couldn't help but shiver.

Despite her ashen face, she had to admit that if she didn't do as Yin Liuli said, her son's life would be lost in her hands.

"Fang Han, stop talking... I'll bow down."

She took a deep breath, her face drained of color, and staggered forward three steps, bowing deeply in gratitude.

"Please, Miss Yin, save my son's life!"

The air fell into a deathly silence.

"It's all my fault, it has nothing to do with my son! Please, Miss Yin, save my son's life!"

She staggered two more steps, then knelt down with a thud, each word biting so hard it drew blood.

The old nanny, heartbroken and with tears streaming down her face, rushed forward to help him up, "Your Highness..."

Cheng Yi shoved her away, trampling all her pride underfoot, got up, took three steps, and then bowed deeply again.

"Please, Miss Yin, save my son's life!"

……

Inside the room, Zhen was sweating profusely, pacing back and forth in front of Yin Liuli.

"Liuli, Her Highness the Princess has actually kowtowed! This...this is completely improper, what should we do?"

Yin Liuli gazed quietly out the window and said in a calm voice,

"There's nothing wrong with it. Uncle Gu is right, what she's kneeling for now is a reflection of her past rudeness."

Granny Jin looked extremely uneasy, nervously wringing her hands.

"Young lady, why do I feel so uneasy?"

She is, after all, a princess. If word gets out, won't the Emperor and Empress blame us?

"When seeking medical treatment, one should have the proper attitude."

Yin Liuli patted her hand and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mother, Granny, don't panic. I have my own plan."

She did not mean to embarrass Cheng Yi, a member of the royal family who was high and mighty.

Instead, she needs to know that no matter how arrogant you are when you bully me, when you come to me for help, you will have to pay the price for your arrogance!

Madam Zhen and Granny Jin exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing their unease.

"Miss Yin, I was wrong, I apologize. Please save my Yan'er!"

Cheng Yi had already reached the second courtyard gate when she knelt on the ground. Her knees ached as if they were being pricked with needles, and she saw stars in her vision. She lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

"Creak..."

Just as she was supporting her knees and struggling to get up, the courtyard gate slowly opened, and Yin Liuli walked out from the inner courtyard, glancing at her calmly.

"Miss Yin, I was wrong! I was arrogant and overbearing, and I spoke rudely to you..."

Cheng Yi's heart trembled. He quickly walked up to her, grabbed Yin Liuli's sleeve, and pleaded desperately.

"Don't hold it against me. For Yan'er's sake, please save him, please save him!"

When I came out, he vomited blood again and looked like he was about to die…”

Gu Fanghan's brows furrowed, and her voice trembled.

"Liuli, Yan'er's condition is very bad."

"I just removed a portion of the corpse demon from him, he'll be fine for now."

Yin Liuli slowly pulled her sleeve from Cheng Yi's hand, her gaze sharp as she looked at her.

"If you want me to save people, Your Highness and Uncle Gu must agree to one condition."

"Just tell me your conditions!"

Cheng Yi panicked and said repeatedly, "No matter what it is, I will do it for you!"

Gu Fanghan nodded nervously.

"Miss Liuli, please speak freely."

Yin Liuli's clear eyes remained calm and serene, her voice cool and clear as she spoke.

"Before I leave the capital, I must not let Gu Jinyan know that His Majesty has dissolved our engagement."

The air suddenly became still.

"Miss Liuli, are you leaving the capital?"

Gu Fanghan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? His Majesty personally bestowed upon you the title of Princess Anle and appointed you to an important position in the Dali Temple. How can you leave?"

"You all know why I came to the capital. These rewards are dispensable to me."

Yin Liuli spoke casually, her expression frank.

"Since my goal cannot be achieved, there is no point in staying in the capital any longer, so I will naturally go back."

My senior brother once asked me if I had fallen for Gu Jinyan, and I said I didn't know...

But just now, when I decided to leave the capital, I realized that I couldn't bear to part with him.

But we're not meant to be, so never mind.

Everyone stared at her in surprise.

Only Chu Lingyun's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily took a step closer to Yin Liuli.

"But Yan'er..."

Gu Fanghan's heart sank slightly, and she hesitated to speak.

Yin Liuli's frankness, especially her statement "If we're not meant to be, then so be it," was as swift and decisive as cutting through a tangled mess, which stirred a sense of admiration in Gu Fanghan's heart.

If he had been as decisive as Yin Liuli back then, he wouldn't have implicated Xiao Rong...

How could a father not know his son's feelings for Yin Liuli?

I'm afraid that if Yin Liuli leaves, Yan'er will be the one who will miss her!

Knowing his son as he did, he wasn't afraid even if he knew he had to take the blame for Yin Liuli.

Yin Liuli looked up at the dimly lit sky and said in a calm voice,

"What happens to him in the future is none of my business, Yin Liuli. Just tell him to take care of himself."

"Yin Liuli, I never expected you would go to such lengths for Yan'er."

Although I usually dislike your arrogant and domineering nature, your words truly convince me.

Cheng Yi took a deep breath, his bloodshot eyes fixed on her, and said...

"Please accept my bow."

"Your Highness, there's no need for you to be so polite."

Yin Liuli raised her hand to help him up, a faint smile playing on her lips. "I saved Gu Jinyan, not for you."

……

Gu Jinyan slowly opened his eyes, only to find a blank and empty space before him.

Several blurry human faces swayed and distorted before my eyes.

"Yan'er!"

Cheng Yi cried out in surprise, her trembling hands cupping his face, choked with emotion and barely able to speak.

"You...you're awake! You're finally awake! Look at your mother, look at your mother..."

Gu Jinyan's chaotic mind gradually calmed down, and memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

"Mother? Father..."

He glanced instinctively behind them and asked in a panic, "Where's Liuli?"
