"Father, don't get me wrong, we didn't mean that. You are in Northern Xinjiang, so of course we have to go back. It's just..."
She pursed her lips.
"Just, can it be a little later?"
Murong Luo stared at her closely.
After all, she is her own daughter, how could she not guess her thoughts?
"You want to stay in the imperial capital for the sake of the prince?"
Murong Wan's face turned red instantly.
She likes Xiao Mingyin, which has long been an open secret in the imperial capital.
Although Murong Luo is not usually in the imperial capital, it is not difficult to know these things with a little inquiry.
After her father pointed out her thoughts, she was a little shy, but she still nodded.
"I heard that the prince's brother was seriously injured during his trip to Hongyuan Valley. If I leave at this time -"
"The prince is injured. The royal family and Nanshan College will take care of him. It doesn't make any difference whether you leave or stay." Murong Luo interrupted her expressionlessly.
Murong Wan's expression froze.
She didn't expect that her father would speak so straightforwardly.
"But, but... I want to stay and wait until he gets better before leaving. Isn't that okay?"
Murong Wan frowned.
When she heard that Xiao Mingyin was injured, she spent a lot of effort to restrain her urge to go to the palace to visit her. Instead, she waited for her father to come back.
On the one hand, she wanted to ease the relationship with her father, and on the other hand, she felt that she could also get first-hand information from her father.
All day long, she waited patiently.
Who knows——
Murong Luo stared at her:
"In what capacity do you stay here?"
"I--"
Murong Wan was speechless for a moment.
Yes, she likes Xiao Mingyin, but there is really no special relationship between them.
She doesn't have the position or qualifications to do this for him.
But she has liked Xiao Mingyin for so many years, and her heart has been tied to him. How can she do it if he suddenly asks her to give up her thoughts?
After struggling for a moment, she replied unconvinced:
"As long as His Majesty and Father agree, it's not impossible for us. In the end, it's just a matter of words."
Murong Luo frowned upon hearing this.
Murong Wan liked to run behind Xiao Mingyin when she was a child. It is not difficult to guess the little daughter's thoughts.
He didn't take it seriously.
Xiao Mingyin's talent, appearance, and status are all outstanding, and it is normal for her to be liked by women.
However, now he discovered that Murong Wan seemed to be more persistent in this matter than he expected.
He said in a deep voice:
"Don't say this kind of thing again! There is no way you and the prince can be together!"
At first, His Majesty was afraid that he held great power, so he sent the two brothers and sister to the imperial capital.
No matter how much His Majesty likes and values their brothers and sisters, he will never allow them to marry into the royal family.
Murong Wan's status had already destined her to have absolutely no hope of marrying the prince.
But she is so naive and ignorant that she cannot even understand such a simple truth!
Not to mention, Xiao Mingyin doesn't like her at all!
Murong Wan's eyes suddenly turned red when he said this, and her chest seemed to be blocked by something, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Father! Why do you say that!? Don't I even have the freedom to like whoever I like!?"
She likes Xiao Mingyin and has been chasing him for so many years. How can she just let him go?
Murong Luo suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice:
"There are so many young talents in the world, why do you have to hang yourself on this tree?"
