When they entered the town, Xie Yuan took a look at everyone's peculiar faces, and asked Su Rong, "What's the matter? Why are you all upset? What did Dawei say to offend you? Did the negotiation fail? Did they find your terms too harsh?"

Touching her nose, Su Rong replied, "That bastard Yuan Zhao suggested that I should accept a prince as my concubine. Prince Yuan Chen volunteered himself, but I asked for Nangong Zheng."

With just a brief sentence, she summarised the entire negotiation process.

Enlightened, Xie Yuan replied, "It's exactly the kind of thing that Dawei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao would come up with. Knowing about your relationship with Zhou Gu, he probably did it deliberately to nauseate everyone."
