Seeing Yan Wanqing remaining silent, Xiao Hongshen leaned forward, stretched out his hand to directly grasp her chin, and forcefully pinched her cheek to turn her face towards himself.
"Yun Ge wasn't wrong, without the Great General, Township Manor is now just a scattering of loose sand. You are no longer the radiant and proud Princess Anping of the past, and under these circumstances, other than allying yourself with this hall, do you have any other choice?" Xiao Hongshen thought for a moment, then continued, "Originally, there might have been someone in the Eastern Palace who could have helped you, but now he is far in the north. Yan Wanqing, you have no choice."
In his gaze, Yan Wanqing looked up at him, her originally cool and emotionless, ice lotus-like, stunning face now had a red-tipped nose and eyes brimming with crystal-clear tears, fragile as if a light touch would cause her to cry out in pain.
The excitement in Xiao Hongshen's eyes could no longer be restrained.
