Ye Jiayao asked Chunyu, "Can't your family just say no to this?"
Xia Chunyu shook his head. "We can't turn this down. We've already offended the Empress Dowager. If we dare to it again, the Emperor will not hesitate to behead us."
"Chunfeng must be very sad," Ye Jiayao said sympathetically.
Xia Chunyu sighed helplessly. "He is. He'll figure it out, though."
"Why is the Empress Dowager always trying to create trouble for your family?" Ye Jiayao complained angrily.
"It's because she took care of Princess Liu Li herself."
"So she'll always cater to her every whim? Don't you think that she just dislikes us and wants us to suffer?" Suddenly, a thought came to her and she turned to Chunyu. "Do you have a special relationship with Princess Liu Li?"
Xia Chunyu frowned. "What?"
"She likes you. She's practically obsessed with you," Ye Jiayao said, watching his face closely.
