I didn't become a princess today

Chapter 355
Chapter 350 Five

"Why don't we make a deal, King of Southern Border." Shen Yuan said calmly.

Chu Xu narrowed his eyes, looked at the calm Shen Yuan, and sneered in his heart, thinking how calm she was.

"Let's hear it, but I don't think there is anything about you that I can trade." Chu Xu's eyes were slightly frivolous. Shen Yuan is a beauty, but he is not interested in other women's women.

What's more, Shen Yuan is not a good stubble.

"If you want to change Wei Yan, you can exchange the head of the new emperor of Ming Dynasty, and don't talk about the rest." Chu Xu seemed to be sure that Shen Yuan wanted to take Wei Yan away, so he said directly.

The words were rampant, but Shen Yuan knew he meant it.

If he wanted to take Wei Yan away, Chu Xu would only think about it if he offered Daming's country.

Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, her dark peach eyes were slightly curved, but there was no warmth, making people feel cold for no reason, "You may have misunderstood."

"Huh?" Chu Xu frowned slightly.

"I came to see you as the Imperial Teacher of the Ming Dynasty, not the Prince Concubine of the Qin Dynasty. The deal I'm talking about with you is only about the people of the Ming Dynasty, not personal feelings."

"In the face of righteousness, the personal relationship between children is not worth mentioning." Shen Yuan said these words naturally, without any flaws in her expression, "I don't know if the general under the king of Nanjiang is my husband, or the best, If so, I would consider him dead on the battlefield."

Chu Xu lowered his expression, looked at Shen Yuan's expression carefully, and sneered at the corner of his lips, and said unceremoniously: "Even I know that the prince of Qin loves his wife like his life, and he would have given his life to save you. don't want."

"Now it seems that his affection has been fed to the dogs." Chu Xu's words pierced Shen Yuan's heart like a knife, but Shen Yuan was still able to cover it up with a faint smile.

"If my husband dies in battle and sacrifices his life for the country, I will be proud of him all my life. If he treacherously surrenders and hurts the people of Ming Dynasty, I will be ashamed of him all my life, and I will be a stranger from now on. I believe that I will do this , no one would think it was wrong." Shen Yuan said with a smile.

"Then it seems that I don't need to tell you Wei Yan's whereabouts." Chu Xu looked at Shen Yuan with a gloomy and cold gaze, as if he wanted to cut Shen Yuan's whole body open to see clearly the true heart of her heart. thought.

"Those are not important anymore." Shen Yuan said indifferently, covering her clasped hands with her wide sleeves.

"Okay, then tell me, what deal do you want to make on behalf of Daming and Zhen?"

Shen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Half a year of truce, Southern Xinjiang captured seven cities of Daming in total, and I negotiated with the King of Southern Xinjiang on behalf of the new Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and wanted to buy these seven cities from the King of Southern Xinjiang. Ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand dan grains, or other things, the King of Southern Border can ask for it, as long as the price is reasonable."

What southern Xinjiang lacks most now is financial resources and food, while Daming is extremely rich.

Buying a city with money sounds shocking, but it is the best way to negotiate peace with southern Xinjiang.

Chu Xu fell silent. This time the war was launched, but the southern border treasury was almost empty, and even the food for the soldiers was squeezed from the hands of the people.

Due to the influence of climate and terrain, the crop yield in southern Xinjiang is low. If the people are forced to hand over their grain, the southern border will be in chaos before he captures Yuxia pass.

"If the King of Nanjiang agrees to this transaction, he will send a relative of the emperor to Chang'an as a peace envoy. Similarly, as the Imperial Teacher of the Ming Dynasty, I will also return to Fengzhou with the King of Nanjiang as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty." In short, the two countries exchange protons. If one of them violates the rules, the protons will be killed first.

However, the descendants of the southern border royal family were almost killed by Chu Xu, and now only Xiao Qi, who was protected by the master, and a princess who had never been seen in public were left.

"Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around, and I have to think of using money to buy a city from my hands. I have to say, I am really a little moved." Chu Xu said calmly, "I will write it down first, and I will think it over. I'll come find you again."

"Then wait for the answer from the King of Southern Border."

When Chu Xu left the tent, the dishes on the dinner table were already completely cold. Shen Yuan let out a long breath, and the sweat on her back felt cool, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

Shen Yuan sat quietly for a long time before she took out her hand under the sleeve. The back of her delicate and white hand was scratched with bloody wounds by nails.

Otherwise, how could I be so cruel as to say those words...

Shen Yuan picked up the chopsticks, the cold dish mixed with the cold rice was hard to swallow, Shen Yuan forced herself to take a few mouthfuls, but she couldn't swallow it no matter what.

Shen Yuan took the spittoon and vomited out everything she ate, her face was as pale as paper, and there was a bloody smell in her chest.

It turns out that when you are extremely sad, you can really experience the feeling of dying.

……

Chu Xiu was stopped outside the king's tent, watching the military advisers and generals file in, feeling a little strange in her heart.

This was the first time that Chu Xu actively convened a meeting. Chu Xiu couldn't help guessing what the Crown Princess had said to him?

It's a pity that Chu Xiu, as a princess, has no right to interfere in political affairs, so she can only wait and inquire with Chu Xu in private.

Chu Xiu had nothing to do, so she simply took people to hunt in the nearby forest. She didn't kill much game, but she caught a white fox.

Chu Xiu couldn't help thinking of Yin Bao, but this white fox was not as human as Yin Bao. On the way back to the camp, when Chu Xiu was not paying attention, he bit Chu Xiu and ran away.

"Princess, your hand!" The maid beside her exclaimed in surprise.

Chu Xiu looked at the white fox that had run away without a trace, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't keep anything.

"It's okay, let's go back." As Chu Xiu walked, she skillfully bandaged herself to stop the bleeding. She estimated that she would need to ask the military doctor to prescribe some medicine when she went back.

If Zhen Su had been there like before, he would have taunted her twice with that prudish face, saying that she had embarrassed the Suzaku team.

Chu Xiu shook her head, and put away the emotions she shouldn't have. She was no longer Liu Su, and she was not qualified to recall those past events and people.

When Chu Xiu returned to the camp, the lights were still on in Wang's tent, and the discussion had not yet been completed?

Chu Xiu frowned, feeling a little worried. Chu Xu was rarely so indecisive.

"Go and find out what the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty said to Brother Huang today." Chu Xiu ordered.

"Yes." The maids around Chu Xiu were all arranged by Chu Xu himself. Compared to those siblings who died miserable, Chu Xu treated Chu Xiu surprisingly well, except for the occasional occasion when Chu Xiu and him were against him.

Chu Xiu felt a little uneasy, it was difficult to guess what the princess was thinking, she was afraid that Chu Xu would be led by the nose by Shen Yuan.
