Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 1464 Severing Ties (Bonus Chapter for 205 Million Donation Points)

Although she received some favor from her elder brother, the weight of a princess in such a major case was probably as light as a feather...

Suddenly, Princess Yun'an's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a lifeline.

"Quick! Get the car ready!"

She raised her voice and ordered, "Go to Princess Wenshu's residence!"

Fifth Sister is gentle and kind, and has a good reputation among the imperial relatives. If we could get her to go to the palace to plead for mercy, the combined influence of the two princesses might... might make the Emperor listen to a few words of advice.

The maidservant replied respectfully, "Yes."

Princess Yun'an didn't bother to tidy her slightly disheveled hair or choose more dignified clothes; she just wanted to get to Princess Wenshu's residence immediately.

the other side.

Princess Wenshu's residence.

She was practicing calligraphy, her brushstrokes steady, when she heard the news of the Prince of Jin's misfortune.

"……What did you say?!"

Princess Wenshu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Myna has always been kind and gentle to her younger sisters, how could she have done such a rebellious thing?

She put down her pen, her brow furrowed in disbelief.

This matter is too horrifying; she needs time to process it…

At this moment, Bihen came in and reported: "Your Highness, Princess Yun'an has arrived. She is currently in the front hall and looks very anxious."

Princess Wenshu was slightly taken aback.

Third Sister is impatient by nature; her arrival at this moment must be because of Eighth Brother's matter.

She composed herself and said, "Please come in quickly."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.

The beaded curtain was suddenly flung open, bringing with it a gust of wind. Princess Yun'an's figure had already appeared at the door of the quiet room.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, clearly indicating that she had arrived in a hurry and hadn't even bothered with her usual appearance.

"Fifth sister!"

Princess Yun'an spotted Princess Wenshu at a glance, took a few steps forward, and tightly gripped her wrist. The force was so great that Princess Wenshu frowned slightly.

"You've heard about the myna bird, haven't you? Someone must have framed him! He's definitely not that kind of person!"

"Come with me to the palace to see my brother! We'll plead together, and he'll surely listen!"

Princess Yun'an's eyes were filled with urgency as she spoke these words.

Princess Wenshu felt the tightness on her wrist and tried to pull away, but couldn't. She could only use her other hand to cover Princess Yun'an's hand, trying to calm her down.

"Third sister, don't rush, tell me slowly."

She led Princess Yun'an to a chair nearby and gestured for Bihen to serve tea before speaking gently, "I just heard about Eighth Brother's matter, and I was shocked and found it hard to believe."

Princess Yun'an immediately chimed in, her tone excited: "Right? You also think it's impossible! That's why we have to go..."

"But, Third Sister..."

Princess Wenshu interrupted her, her voice still gentle but very rational: "Calm down and think about it."

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler, ruling the world with many eyes and ears. In such a serious case concerning treason, how could you make such a decision so easily if the evidence were not conclusive?"

"My brother would never wrongly accuse my eighth brother without a reason."

Seeing Princess Yun'an's eyes suddenly turn resentful, Princess Wenshu continued patiently, "Moreover, matters of state are of utmost importance and are not something we can interfere with or comment on."

“Even the women in the inner palace are not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone my third sister and me? If we rashly enter the palace now, not only will it not help, but it will probably displease the emperor and may even make the situation of the eighth brother more unfavorable.”

Princess Wenshu considered these words to be wise advice after weighing the pros and cons, and the best choice to avoid adding fuel to the fire.

However, to Princess Yun'an, who was in a state of heightened emotion, it took on a completely different meaning.

The eagerness on her face gradually faded, replaced by deep disappointment.

Princess Yun'an withdrew her hand, sneered, and stood up, looking down at Princess Wenshu: "Heh, that sounds nice!"

"What wise ruler? What government policy?"

"Wenshu, I think you feel your status is different now. You've climbed up the social ladder, so you've forgotten your past brother-sister relationship, and you're afraid of being implicated by Eighth Brother and losing your wealth and status, aren't you?!"

These hurtful words made Princess Wenshu's face turn pale. She also stood up and hurriedly explained, "Third Sister, how could you think of me like that? I have never had such thoughts."

"We're sisters, how could I be the kind of person who would curry favor with the powerful and disregard family ties? It's precisely because of our sisterly bond that I don't want to see you act rashly and get yourself into trouble!"

Princess Yun'an pressed on relentlessly, demanding, "Are you trying to get yourself burned?"

"You're afraid, but I'm not!"

"All we know is that the myna bird is now unjustly accused and in distress, and we cannot stand idly by!"

"Wen Shu, I'm putting my words right here today—"

She stared into Princess Wenshu's eyes and said, word by word, "Today you either come with me to the palace to plead with the Emperor and defend Eighth Brother."

"Either..."

At this point, Princess Yun'an took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination: "From now on, we sisters will go our separate ways! Let's pretend we never knew each other!"

Princess Wenshu was shocked, unable to believe that Princess Yun'an would say such heartless words. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears: "Third Sister?!"

"You... why are you going to this? Can't we talk this out? Calm down and think about it..."

"I've thought this through very clearly!"

Princess Yun'an interrupted her sharply, her face devoid of its usual playful and mischievous demeanor, replaced only by the anger of betrayal: "It seems you've made up your mind to protect yourself. Good! Very good!"

She no longer looked at Princess Wenshu's heartbroken eyes, turned around and flung her sleeves away: "From this moment on, Yun'an has no sister like you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Yun'an strode out without looking back, her figure quickly disappearing beyond the beaded curtain.

Princess Wenshu stood frozen in place, staring at the swaying beaded curtain. The slight pain from Princess Yun'an's tight grip on her wrist seemed to linger, and the cold words of her severing ties echoed in her ears.

A warm tear finally slipped uncontrollably from the corner of her eye and landed on the clean floor...

She just wanted to protect her third sister and didn't want things to get worse, so why... why did it escalate to this point?

Princess Yun'an's carriage sped along the road toward the palace.

She rehearsed in her mind what she would say when she saw her elder brother.

She believed that her brother was only temporarily misled by treacherous people, and that as long as she, his own sister, stepped forward, she could awaken his familial affection and make him retract his decision.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Princess Yun'an jumped down from the carriage without waiting for her maids to help her and walked inside.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhan Weiran dutifully stopped her, saying, "Princess Yun'an, please wait!"

Princess Yun'an raised her eyebrows and adopted her usual imposing manner: "Make way! I want to see my imperial brother!"
