Qin Zhongxiao was stunned when he heard this, "You are not a princess anymore... What do you mean?"

Nagya looked nonchalant, "If you're not a princess, then you're a commoner. I told Wu Shilie that I was coming to see you, and he said that I would have to stop being a princess if I didn't."

"Then I won't be a princess anymore."

She said it easily, as if the identity of a princess was dispensable to her.

"This..." Qin Chongxiao didn't know what to say.

He thought that he had left Xirong, and that past had been sealed and disappeared.

But Nagya actually abandoned her identity and came to find him, which made him feel mixed emotions.

"What's this?" Nagya snorted.

"I have come a long way to find you, and now I am penniless. You will not abandon me just because I am not a princess and always... always..."

She thought for a moment before saying, "Indulge in seduction and then abandon!"

Qin Zhongxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Princess, don't talk nonsense, when will we..."

"It has been a long time ago." Nagya said first.

"That time you accepted the sachet I embroidered myself. The sachet is a token of love given by a woman to her lover. By accepting it, you acknowledged our relationship. I did it according to the rules of your Sheng Dynasty."

Qin Chongxiao was full of doubts, and then recalled the "too ugly" sachet that Wu Shilie mentioned. However, when Nagya gave it to him, she only said it was a gift, so he had to accept it.

Seeing that he didn't admit it, Nagya became anxious, "Qin Zhongxiao, don't try to cheat! I have witnesses. Besides Wu Shilie, there was also Sai Enwan."

"It's the current Princess Consort of Prince Jing, Li Jingwan." She also found out Li Jingwan's identity and was a little proud. "If you don't admit it, I will ask the princess to speak up for me. I know where the palace is."

Qin Zhongxiao smiled helplessly, "Princess, that wasn't the case at the time, I..."

"I don't care." Nagya interrupted him again and made the final decision, "Anyway, if you accept it, it means you have accepted my feelings. So I have no choice but to marry you."

Fearing that he would object again, she quickly changed the subject, "You have a day off today, are you going to look for Sai Enwan? Take me there quickly, I want to see her."

Qin Chongxiao didn't dare to take her to see Li Jingwan directly, so he asked someone to inform her of the situation when they arrived at the palace.

After a while, the butler came out to greet them, "My Lord, the Prince and Princess ask you to bring this girl in."

Nagya was very happy to see Li Jingwan again.

After paying respect to Chu Tingyu, she went straight forward and took Li Jingwan's arm, saying affectionately, "Saienwan, I thought I would never see you again."

As she spoke, her expression changed again, "Humph, I didn't expect you to have been lying to me. You are obviously a princess, but you lied to me about doing business in Tacheng. I even reminded you not to come to Xirong at that time."

Li Jingwan was very happy to see an old friend and explained, "I was forced to do so by the situation at that time. Please forgive me, Princess."

Although she was forced to be Nagya's teacher for a few days at that time, Nagya was nice to her and later kindly reminded her of the war, so she had a good impression of Nagya.

"I am no longer a princess," Nagya said, "you can call me by my name from now on."

"What happened?" Li Jingwan asked curiously.

Nagya let out a sigh of regret, "It's a long story..."

"Then take your time." Li Jingwan smiled, "We have good tea here, you can talk as long as you want."

Nagya then slowly began to tell the story.

On the day when Xirong and Sheng Dynasty signed the armistice agreement, Yeqilu was killed on the way back. Qin Chongxiao deliberately left evidence at the scene and exposed his identity, hoping to cause a fight between Yeqilu and Wushilie.

However, most of the members of the peace negotiation delegation were Wushilie's men, so Yeqilu's death was disguised as suicide due to defeat in the war. In addition, the King of Xirong was dissatisfied with Yeqilu, so this incident did not cause much waves.

As for Qin Chongxiao, Wu Shilie had already guessed that he was a traitor of the Sheng Dynasty, but there was no obvious evidence. Moreover, Qin Chongxiao had always been his military advisor. If this matter were known to others, it would be a heavy blow to him.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give up the pursuit of Qin Chongxiao.

Wu Shilie ordered his men to set a fire and found a death row prisoner to replace Qin Chongxiao, saying that he was accidentally burned to death. Anyway, no one had seen his true appearance.

"From the beginning I didn't believe that the person who was burned to death was you." Nagya looked at Qin Zhongxiao, "I checked the body, and it didn't seem like you either."

"I went to find Wu Shilie and asked him where he was. Wu Shilie denied it at first, but later he said he didn't know after I asked him so many questions, and he wouldn't let me ask anymore."

"Then I decided to come out alone to look for you, but Wu Shilie said that if I left Xirong, I would no longer be a princess."

"So I am not a princess anymore." Nagya smiled. "Fortunately, I found you and Sainwan when I was penniless. Finally, I won't starve."

She smiled happily, as if leaving her identity as Princess Xirong was of no importance to her.

But there was one more thing she didn't say.

"Nagaya, since you have decided to leave, it's best not to come back." Wu Shilie's expression was determined, but he added one more sentence before leaving.

"You gave up all this for him. If you don't get what you want, come back and expect me to laugh at you."

The implication is that she can still go home.

She held her head high and said that this would never happen, but her eyes were already red.

Li Jingwan, who was sitting next to her, saw a hint of melancholy in her smile, which was the sadness of leaving her family and hometown.

Li Jingwan patted her hands and said, "Since you are in the capital, you won't starve."

Nagya nodded, "I knew you would take me in."

She said seriously, "Before I left, Wu Shilie asked me to bring a message. He said that as long as he is in power, he will not allow Xirong and Sheng Dynasty to have conflicts again."

She looked at Chu Tingyu deliberately, "Your Highness, don't worry. My brother may not be as capable, but he has a much better heart than Yeqilu. At least he will take the lives of the people as his own."

Chu Tingyu did not relax because of this news, and said seriously, "The security of the country depends on our own efforts, not on anyone's guarantee."

He has been planning to split the power of the Western Rong. If Wu Shilie has no ambitions, it would be a good idea to let him ascend the throne.

At this time, the butler came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, lunch is ready. Shall we start eating now?"

"Let's go." Li Jingwan nodded and looked at Nagya, "I guess you're hungry too?"

"I've been hungry for a long time." Nagya pouted, "I've been waiting outside since early morning, waiting for Wudi to come."

The four of them came to the flower hall, where various dishes had already been placed, looking very tempting.

Li Jingwan loves to eat fish, so all the fish-related dishes are placed in front of her.

This time, there was a dish of Songhua fish and a steamed sea bass in front of her. The dishes were just served, steaming and fragrant.

But when she smelled it, she felt a little nauseous and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Chu Tingyu noticed her expression, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"This fish smells a bit fishy." Li Jingwan said.

The housekeeper was shocked and was about to go forward to check, but Nagya said, "Princess, are you pregnant?"
