After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

Chapter 256 Chapter 256

At daybreak, Asuo caught Qi Shan who was sneaky and wanted to escape at the gate of the city, pulled out the fangs from his mouth, and brought him to Xiao Qiyu.

He explained it like this:
"The younger one, whose surname is Qi and whose name is Shan, is a groom from the House of Internal Affairs in the capital, who specializes in driving carriages for the nobles in the palace.

"The little ones have always been their own. But after the emperor conferred the title of princess and the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the list of senders, my mother-in-law and daughter were all taken away.

"I was told that if I wanted my wife and daughter to live, I had to do what they said. As for what to do, I would be informed.

"Starting from the capital, all the way was safe and sound, until yesterday when I arrived at Chentangguan, someone shot me a hidden arrow with a note and a hairpin on it, and said: Let me find a chance to talk to the princess. With a few words, the princess was forced to jump into the river.

"It just so happened that the old man in charge of the stables in the General's Mansion and I were fellow villagers, so I came here and took the opportunity to meet the fellow villagers and deliberately pretended to be drunk. In the middle of the night, when they were all asleep, I crawled in from a dog hole in the west. Mesmerized the two maidservants with medicine, lit the hairpin, and the princess wrote a suicide note and jumped into the lake...

"During this period, a servant girl woke up and was knocked unconscious on the ground by me. I took the opportunity to slip away."

The cause and effect are very clear, but he just doesn't know who arrested his wife and daughter, and who gave him the order.

But the other party clearly wanted to prevent the princess from entering the capital and make the relationship between Da Qi and Great Liang tense.Therefore, this person came for the imperial power in the end.

The reason is simple, as long as the border is in chaos and the country is in chaos, the person hiding behind the scenes will have the opportunity to steal the country.

Therefore, there is a high probability that this person is the person behind Chu Anan, that is, another person from Luojun who is secretly instigating all this.

When the case was in front of him, Xiao Qiyu was caught in a dilemma. If he reported the truth, they might be placed in the unfavorable situation of dishonesty.

If not, how should we deal with it?
Mu Yunjiang also felt that this matter was difficult to deal with, but he couldn't find a good solution for a while, and it was getting late, and he was a little hungry, so he ran to the kitchen.

When she came back from the kitchen, she saw Xiao Qiyu pacing in the study room alone, seeing that it was bright daylight, Mr. Zhen, the send-off envoy, would come to greet the princess soon.Now only the people in their general's mansion know that the princess threw herself into the lake.If all the people in the mission to send off relatives know about it, it will be even more difficult to deal with it.

Putting the freshly made dough in the kitchen in front of him, she said briskly:

"Old Ji from the kitchen cooked it. I heard that the food cooked by this old man is delicious?"

Xiao Qiyu glanced at it, and finally smelled the scent of pasta, and said hurriedly: "I called you up in the middle of the night and haven't closed your eyes until now, you must be hungry! I'm sorry, I forget the time when I'm doing something. I didn't bother to get you something to eat."

During these days, he basically made her food by himself, so I forgot about it today.

"I know you are anxious, but no matter how anxious you are, you have to eat. Come on, let's try it together, I can't wait..."

A large bowl of noodles comes with two small bowls, and two people pick and eat.

After eating two mouthfuls, Mu Yunjiang looked up at Xiao Qiyu, pretending to be casual and asked: "Hey, let me ask, is there such a possibility, find someone to replace the princess to join Daqi and get married..."

Xiao Qiyu took a bite of the noodles and glanced up: "Is someone impersonating you? Do you know how big a crime this is?"

If it were someone else, he would have scolded him long ago.

But the other party is a daughter-in-law.

Can't scold.

"It's not an impostor. It can be done this way. We can proceed as planned and go to Daqi as usual. Then, you can send a letter to Beijing to find a suitable person and report everything that happened here to the emperor, please. Confer another princess, so that there will be no delay in getting married..."

She spoke her mind.

"Why is there no delay? The newly-appointed princess set off from Tiandu City and rushed all the way, it is impossible to arrive at Jinjing at the same time as us..."

Xiao Qiyu felt that this idea would not work at all.

"You still don't understand what I mean. Listen carefully, what I mean is: instead of sending another princess from Tiandu City, the princess will be chosen from us..."

This idea is really brain opening!
"Where is our princess here?"

Xiao Qiyu thought he was smart enough, but in the end, he still couldn't keep up with her brain circuit.

Mu Yunjiang smiled mysteriously: "This time the princess went to Daqi to get married, and Prince Chen also sent another daughter to go to Daqi with the princess. That daughter is also a girl from a concubine. Wouldn't it be better to make this princess a princess again? Can this problem be solved perfectly?"

Xiao Qiyu didn't know about this matter, and his face was filled with interest: "Who?"

"Adai!"

That's right, the Adai who came to expose the princess that she didn't throw herself into the lake, but was forced by others, is another unremarkable girl in Chen Wang's mansion.

Just now, when Mu Yunjiang went to the kitchen, Adai followed, and asked timidly, "Princess, is it troublesome for the princess to throw herself into the lake like this? I heard A Niang said before that this time I went south to Daqi, the princess might There will be danger, such a thing did not expect to happen..."

Mu Yunjiang was surprised when she heard this. How could a servant's mother have such foresight, so she asked, "Why does your mother think the princess is in danger?"

Adai immediately started talking eloquently: "The current emperor of Daqi actually doesn't want to marry. Our Daliang is a piece of fat, and everyone wants to eat us. Breaking the contract after marriage is breaking the promise. Daqi calls himself the king of etiquette." Bang, of course he doesn't want to be tarnished.

"But the Empress Dowager is critically ill, and there are many Empress Dowager forces in the court. These forces are fighting for peace, and the Zhenbei King of Daqi has always wanted to replace the Emperor. They are the main battle.

"The emperor has been fighting secretly with King Zhenbei. If he also leads the battle, the courtiers may hope that King Zhenbei will become the lord of Daqi. Because the current Emperor Qi is a weak scholar. There is no way to be called a hero on horseback.

"The emperor must take peace, emphasizing the importance of stabilizing the court and the country. That's why he chose to marry temporarily. If he can deal with the big trouble of King Zhenbei, he definitely wants to eat Great Liang.

"If our Great Liang didn't send the princess in time this time, resulting in the death of the Queen Mother, then they would have found a way to trouble our Great Liang at any time.

"There is no Queen Mother to check and balance King Zhenbei. In case Emperor Qi and King Zhenbei are on the same page and choose to join forces temporarily, it will be extremely unfavorable to our Great Liang. Because sending a new princess into Daqi again, the time for marriage will be limited. It may be too late, just now the servant saw the prince frowning there... The servant looked at it, very worried..."

Not to mention, these words are well analyzed.

"Last night, the reason why the princess was sad and weeping was because she had quietly heard what Chen Wang and my aunt had said. It was because she was pessimistic about her future..."

Hearing this, Mu Yunjiang asked in surprise: "What's the relationship between your mother and King Chen? How can you discuss this kind of thing with King Chen?"

"The slave's aunt is one of the king's concubines. The slave's name is Xiao Yudai, and she is the princess's half-sister. I suggest that if we want the marriage to go smoothly, we can do it together..."

……

Just now, Mu Yunjiang thought about it and felt that this idea is still feasible, so she mentioned this matter to Xiao Qiyu:

"I just had a private chat with A'dai, and she is willing to replace her sister in Daqi's marriage."

She also talked about the conversation between herself and Adai.

However, Xiao Qiyu had a doubt in his heart: "The princess threw herself into the lake, she was the one who exposed it. Is it true that she has nothing to do with the princess?"

"Absolutely not..."

Adai came in from the outside, knelt down on the ground generously, and said solemnly:

"Nu and Sister Qi Le grew up together. The relationship is extremely deep. The original name of Nu was Xiao Yudai. Because he was not included in the royal genealogy, he could only be raised in the palace as a maidservant... If King Jingbei is suspecting that Nu Enter Da Qi instead of my younger sister, so that Nu can reveal Nu's hole card to you here...

"It is true that I have a different purpose in entering Daqi, but I do not intend to be rich and wealthy, but to fulfill my mother's last wish.

"Nu's mother was Yue Xiang, the personal servant beside the former female general Rong Xi. When General Rong Xi had an accident, Nu's mother narrowly escaped death, and was finally rescued by Nu's father.

"At that time, the slave's mother was already disfigured. It was the slave's father who spent a lot of money to cure the slave's mother. The mother had nothing to repay, so she agreed with her body. Later, the slave was born. But the slave's mother I was afraid that her identity would be exposed one day, so I didn't let my father report my origin, so I didn't enter the royal family tree...

"Now that my mother is seriously ill, my last wish is to find out whether General Rong Xi was dead or rescued...

"That's why my father asked Qi Le's younger sister to be conferred the title of princess and enter Daqi. At the same time, he brought the slave with him to investigate this old historical case..."

This is really something that cannot be said to the outside world.

Xiao Qiyu naturally still remembered Aunt Yue Xiang, she was the bravest person around Master.Now, when he heard that she was actually Yue Xiang's daughter, he quickly asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are Yue Xiang's aunt?"

Xiao Yudai's eyes flashed darkly because of the "Aunt Yuexiang", and without thinking much, she untied a jade pendant from her neck, "This belongs to my slave mother, and the words on the jade were carved by General Rongxi. Every Rong Xi female guard has such a piece of jade on her body."

Facing the things presented, Xiao Qiyu's eyes burned, yes, this is a jade pendant in the hands of each of the Rong family's Golden Feather Guards.

Back then, after the master carved it, he personally put it on for the female guards. Everyone was so happy at that time...

"Okay. It's decided like this. From today onwards, you will be married to the princess...A-Jiang, take her down to tidy up, and wear a veil temporarily until you receive a reply from Jingcheng...I will write to Jingcheng right now, fly away Dove back..."

Holding the piece of jade, Xiao Qiyu agreed immediately.

Mu Yunjiang was very happy, and quickly helped Xiao Yudai back to the room where Xiao Qile lived.

Xiao Qile was married with two maidservants.

Mu Yunjiang reminded them: "From today onwards, Miss Yudai is the concubine princess, you must do your best to help Miss Yudai."

The two maidservants looked at each other, and responded with a pale complexion, and quickly changed Xiao Yudai into a princess costume, combed her hair in a style that only the royal family would dare to do, and put on a headdress that only the royal family can wear...

This is where the play of embedding flowers and trees is staged.

In the afternoon, after half a day's delay, the mission sent the relatives out of Chentangguan and left Daliang.

As for Mu Yunjiang, she dressed up as a maidservant and stayed in Xiao Qile's carriage.

Along the way, she described Daqi's royal family and Daqi's major factions in detail, and gave her a chart of character relationships for her to understand.Who should be avoided, who should be guarded against, who are kind-hearted, who are ulterior motives, and those important people have been cleaned up.

Mu Yunjiang discovered that this girl had a particularly good memory and had a certain understanding of Daqi's situation.

In this regard, Xiao Yudai immediately explained: "Mother has been paying close attention to the current situation in Daqi, and my father is also paying attention secretly. When they talk about these things, I listen from the sidelines.

"This time, when my mother was about to send me to Daqi, my father gave me another overview of the situation there. Of course, it was not as detailed as the emperor's sister-in-law, but I also understood a little bit... "

Mu Yunjiang listened and nodded: "You are interested, and your mother and father are also interested. But before, you entered Daqi to handle affairs, but now, you want to stay there as a princess, Yudai, maybe this For the rest of your life, you will never be able to return to Great Liang...don't you regret it?"

Yu Dai's eyes were red, and after thinking for a while, she said, "If I can help my mother find out the whereabouts of General Rong Xi during her lifetime, then I can be regarded as repaying my mother's gift of childbirth... But, thinking about it, I won't be able to find out the whereabouts of General Rong Xi again..." I can't see my mother anymore, I... really feel a little sad...

"However, I will always remember that I am the princess of Great Liang. From now on, I will put the diplomatic relations between the two countries first. If one day, Da Qi and Great Liang go to war, I will help Great Liang to bring down Da Qi as soon as possible. Let the world be unified..."

This political awareness made Mu Yunjiang look at her with admiration, but, if such a person who cared about his family and country really met a man who treats her well, would she still make such a choice?
Of course, that's all for later!

That night, they entered Daqi Changshui Pass.After entering the customs, I slept in the customs all night before continuing to walk south.

Along the way, during the day, Mu Yunjiang helped Xiao Yudai understand various Daqi customs, people's sentiments, grievances among nobles, strengths and weaknesses among characters in the carriage during the day; Nesting together, sighing that this Xiao Yudai really has the demeanor of Jin Yuwei...

On the way to the east, they didn't encounter any trouble. The team sending off their relatives brought a generous dowry. When they passed the lively market, they would even blow and dance, telling the people of Daqi that their princess of Daliang would marry into the Jin Dynasty. Beijing.

Ten days later, Great Liang's send-off team arrived at Jinjing, the royal capital of Daqi.

It was supposed to arrive in seven days, but in order to wait for the letter from Tiandu, they deliberately delayed for three days on the road.

At noon that day, at the gate of Jinjing City, Daqi's first general, the chief culprit of General Rong Xi's treason case—Yuan Long, was ordered to come to meet the send-off team.
