How could Li Fan not know what the second prince was thinking? Since the second prince was the only person he could rely on, he had to share some of his worries!
Thus, Li Fan squeezed Third Princess's hand lightly. Third Princess was also a smart person and immediately reacted.
"Imperial Brother, no matter what, Prince Chang was once engaged to me. Although his actions were a little extreme, on account of the fact that he was a duke personally appointed by the Celestial Supremacy, we should give him a chance. "
Qiu Shuang said loudly.
"Fine."
The second prince was happy. He nodded. "My sister is well-educated and magnanimous. She is truly a role model for the royal family."
After praising his own people, he looked at Prince Chang. "Prince Chang, you may leave, but you are not allowed to enter the Frost Land in this life!"
"Farewell!"
Prince Chang had already lost his best chance. He was not stupid, so he led the Rain King and the remaining troops and started to retreat from the Frost Land. After he left, Li Fan strode in front of the second prince and knelt before him.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The second prince's rainbow crane had just landed. Seeing this scene, he hurried forward and helped Li Fan up.
"We will be a family from now on. Don't be so formal."
"A … family?"
Li Fan was stunned. Qiu Shuang stood at the side, blushing and fiddling with the corner of her clothes. Her girlish demeanor made some of the soldiers dazed. At the same time, they secretly cursed themselves for not being a hero like General Li!
If the princess looked at them one more time, they would be willing to shorten their lifespan by a few hundred years!
"Since you defeated Prince Chang, then according to the rules of the Human Realm Beyond Avalon, from today onwards, you are my sister's husband."
The second prince waved his fan and chuckled. "However, if you are only a son-in-law, then it will be hard on you. How about this, you will immediately be appointed as the Great Marshal of the Imperial Army. You will be the commander of the Imperial Army and help me to quell the internal strife of the Human Realm Beyond Avalon. "
Li Fan's expression froze. The real show was here!
"Follow me back to the imperial capital. When we reach there, I will personally host your wedding with my sister."
Qiu Shuang was secretly happy.
However, according to Li Fan, things might not be that simple. In the end, Qiu Shuang had become a political sacrifice. The Second Prince planned to use her to tie him down. The Eldest Prince probably wanted to quickly snatch Qiu Shuang away to appease the powerful Prince Chang.
As Li Fan thought of this, he cupped his hands in obeisance. "Your Highness the Second Prince, the country is in danger. How can you care about your personal feelings? Why don't I ask the Second Prince to give me a hundred horsemen? I will train in the Frost Lands for two months, and then I will be able to bring them quickly into the city! "
Qiu Shuang pouted. Was this fellow so unwilling to marry her?
"I believe you have the strength, but now is not the time."
The second prince waved his hand. "Moreover, we have more important things to do … I heard that father left a secret edict in the palace …"
Li Fan understood. So it was because of this! In Heaven's Beyond, you could call yourself a king. As long as you had the strength of a Heavenly Immortal, the royal family would confer you the title of Marquis and give you land. But if you wanted to become an emperor, it was impossible without an official title! Why? Because everything in Heaven's Beyond depended on the Lord Celestial Prime! All the people worshipped the Lord Celestial Prime the most. Other than the Lord Celestial Prime, if anyone else wanted to become an emperor, they would never agree! Moreover, the Lord Celestial Prime might feel the change in his bloodline and wake up again to destroy the person who tried to overthrow the regime!
If the old emperor left a secret edict, once it was announced, the whole country would support whoever the higher-ups decided to be the emperor! The two princes were not stupid. Although they wanted to become emperors, they did not want to become enemies of the country! Behind the Eldest Prince was Prince Feng, and behind the Second Prince was the Elders Council. Right now, they were evenly matched. The secret edict was the deciding factor. They had to get the secret edict in their hands first!
Li Fan finally understood why the Eldest Prince did not show up despite the intense battle. It turned out that he had gone to the capital first! The Second Prince had given him face by coming all the way here to look for him.
"I am extremely grateful that the Second Prince came to save me in such an emergency!"
Li Fan cupped his fists and the Second Prince nodded with a smile.
"You're too kind. It's what I should do. But since I've already picked you up, please follow me to the capital, General Li. "
"Me too! Me too!"
Qiu Shuang suddenly thought of her younger brother. She turned to look at Qiu Nan, who was still scared. "You stay here. I'm afraid the capital will be very dangerous."
Qiu Nan almost burst into tears. So his sister still cared about him!
"Thank you, Royal Sister … I'll stay here …"
Qiu Nan did not want to go to the capital to suffer. Right now, the capital was definitely in turmoil and danger!
"Then let the few of us go. It's better for Royal Brother to stay here."
The Second Prince instructed. After all, Qiu Nan was a burden. It did not matter whether he went or not. It was better if he did not go.
"General Li, please take care of my sister."
The Second Prince clapped his hands and a crane flew over. It flapped its wings and landed in front of them.
"The two of you can ride on this crane. We'll reach the capital in about four hours."
Li Fan carried the little princess and rode on the Immortal Crane. The Immortal Crane let out a cry and flew up with its other companions, flying in the direction of the Imperial Capital. Staying in Li Fan's arms, the little princess was very comfortable. It was as if this was the happiest moment of her life.
"Husband."
The way the little princess called Li Fan had changed.
"That … Your Highness, we're not married yet … It's not good to call you that …"
Li Fan was a little embarrassed.
"Anyway …"
The little princess blushed and said, "I've already said that on the city wall … Don't you want me?"
"That's not it …"
Li Fan didn't know what to say. Since the little princess had already said that to him, could he still refuse?
"Also, husband, you have to be careful of my second brother."
The little princess suddenly lowered her voice and said to Li Fan, "He didn't come to save you with good intentions. Since Royal Father is missing, the palace has been sealed. The one in charge of guarding the palace is the number one expert of the royal family, Huang Taiji. He is guarding the palace. No matter if it's big brother or second brother, they can't do anything. "
"So that's the case … But is it really good for you to betray your second brother?"
It was said that women were extroverted. Li Fan said that this was too fast!
"Since you're my husband, then my heart will naturally be on my husband's side."
Qiu Shuang argued, "What? Could it be that husband doesn't like this?"
"Good, of course it's good … With you at home, I won't be afraid of being taken advantage of."
What else could Li Fan say? He could only coax the little princess. When it was time for them to get married, he would think of a way to get it over with!
The Rainbow Crane screeched. It seemed like they were nearing the capital.
