Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 121 The Three Lost Cities

Yu Haoze's brain was spinning rapidly, carefully deliberating the meaning of Shang Junyuan's words.

"General Shang means that my Dragon Feather Kingdom will cede the three cities that have been lost, plus a princess for marriage?" Yu Hao asked suspiciously.

"Exactly!"

"It's just that there are indeed no women of the right age in this palace to make a kiss. Why is General Shang?"

"That is the problem that your Shanghuang Kingdom needs to solve." Shang Junyuan interrupted Yu Haoze, and continued: "In one month, this general will welcome the princess here."

"Vice General Li!"

"exist."

"Bring the peace agreement!"

"Yes." As he spoke, Vice General Li took out the agreement book from his sleeve and put it on Yu Haoze's desk.

Looking at the agreement book on the table, Yu Hao had a bad premonition, vaguely, he had a feeling of being tricked, but when he opened the agreement book, he was completely sure that he was really being tricked. Shang Junyuan had already done it a long time ago, and the peace talks were just a cover, it's ridiculous that he actually got into it.

"Hahaha." Yu Hao couldn't help laughing out loud.

It's just that he is powerless to change anything, maybe doing this is the best choice, but he is not reconciled, he secretly swears in his heart that in the future, the three lost cities must be regained!

Yu Hao took out a seal from his pocket, and stamped it on the agreement book with a resolute expression, as if he was going to the execution ground.

On that day, after signing the peace agreement, Yu Hao returned to the capital Cangyue. Along with him were Prince Yu Haomo, who was arrested by Shang Junyuan a few days ago, and Lieutenant General Shangguan Gao Yang.

The Imperial Palace of the Dragon Feather Kingdom, the Hall of Qianhe.

Yu Haomo, Yu Haoze, and Shangguan Gao Yang knelt together in the hall to plead guilty.

After a while, Yu Mingqi sighed, and said softly, "You all get up."

"Father (the emperor), my son has insulted the emperor's order, please forgive me." The three said in unison, kneeling down.

"Forget it, get up, I don't blame you, you have tried your best, cough cough." Yu Mingqi coughed as he spoke.

"Father!" The two knelt down and took two steps forward, shouting in unison, looking at Yu Mingqi very worriedly.

"I'm fine, you're tired too, go back and rest first." Yu Mingqi winked at Manager Li as he spoke, and then walked towards the inner room in the backyard with the support of Eunuch Li.

"Respectfully send off the father (the emperor)!"

"Brother Huang, are you in good health? Do you want to ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment?"

Yu Haomo smiled faintly, with a look of alienation in his brows and eyes, "It's okay, thank you for your concern, brother." Saying this, Yu Haomo turned and walked towards the Prince's East Palace.

Seeing Yu Haomo's leaving figure, Yu Hao smiled bitterly. It seems that his imperial brother misunderstood him.

"Fifth Prince, I'm going back first." Shangguan Gao Yang said respectfully.

Yu Hao then saw that Shangguan Gaoyang's injuries were no less severe than those of the crown prince, so he nodded immediately.

Inner room.

Yu Mingqi drank the concoction brought by Eunuch Li, and then asked: "Yide, the war between our Dragon Feather Kingdom and Shanghuang Kingdom is over, and the peace talks have also come to an end, but what do you think of this? What's in the peace book?"

Eunuch Li naturally understood what he was referring to, thought for a while and said: "Please forgive me for being stupid, this old slave can't figure out the thoughts of the fourth prince of Shanghuang Kingdom, but when I went out to look for the fifth prince last time, I once I have heard rumors from the people."

"Oh? What rumor?" Yu Mingqi turned his head and asked with surprise on his face.

Eunuch Li showed a look of hesitation, and said: "Well, Your Majesty, the old slave said, you must not get excited, rumors are just rumors after all, and there are countless things to do."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Yes, the folks are rumoring that Princess Chaohua is not dead."

Before Eunuch Li could finish speaking, he heard a crisp sound, it was the sound of the jade bowl falling to the ground, yes, Yu Mingqi accidentally broke the jade bowl for drinking medicine.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing Yu Mingqi's shocked expression, Director Li was very worried.

"It's okay, you, go on."

"Your Majesty, this old slave has only heard this, so there is nothing more to say." Eunuch Li said carefully.

Yu Mingqi pondered for a moment, stood up abruptly, and ordered: "Send the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard immediately."

Eunuch Li looked at Yu Mingqi in surprise. He naturally knew what Yu Mingqi meant, but after a few months, even if Princess Zhaohua was still alive, would he still be able to find it?
"Yes." Eunuch Li nodded hesitantly and walked out.

Yu Mingqi got up and stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back.

Shang Junyuan, is this the real purpose of your asking the princess to get married?Did you do this for Chaohua?Is Zhaohua really not dead?I didn't expect you to be an infatuated seed. Well, I, Yu Mingqi, did not misunderstand the person. If Ya'er is not dead, I will be happy marrying you!I will definitely disclose Ya'er's true identity to the public!
The night is as cool as water. After the rain, Jiangzhou City is clear and bright, and the river bank washed by the rain is even more clean.

Shang Junyuan walked alone by the Yanshui River, and under the moonlight, his slender figure was stretched slender.

He didn't know if it was worth it for him to do this, but he had a feeling that if he didn't do this, he might never see Shangguan Wanchun again in his life, because he had already seen the shadow of freedom in her eyes.

Zhaohua, are you okay?Where are you?

After several days of recuperation, Su Mei's injury has recovered a lot.The complexion of the whole person also looks very ruddy and shiny.

Since the last time I saw Su Mei reading a historical record, Jiao Jingyao, the Seventh Prince, not only came to check Su Mei's pulse every day, but also brought her a few books to relieve Su Mei's boredom and pass the time.

But she seldom leaves the hospital, and stays in the room all day, besides reading, she just listens to Ziyan tell some interesting things, and her life is very leisurely.It's just that this is the palace after all, where news spreads in all directions, and she is an unknown woman brought back by the Seventh Prince, so naturally she quickly became the focus of everyone's attention.

In fact, this is due to the unwritten rule of Dijiao Kingdom, that is, any adult prince, if he has no wives and concubines, can temporarily live in the palace. Once he becomes a family, he will immediately move out of the palace and set up another family.

Think about the seventh prince, Jiao Jingyao, who is already twenty and four years old, but still has no family, not even a concubine. The youngest child is already five years old.

Jiao Jingyao has been traveling for the past few years and is not in the palace all the year round. Even if the Queen Mother returns to the palace every year for her birthday, she only stays there for a short time. How has she ever lived in the palace for more than a month like now, and she still brought a woman with her? .So more than a month ago, when Jiao Jingyao walked into the palace nervously holding a strange comatose woman, it not only caused a sensation in the whole palace, but also attracted many speculations from everyone. Will drink the concubine wedding wine of the Seventh Prince.

As for those speculations, Su Mei always smiled lightly and dismissed it. She had never thought about it, and she also believed that Jiao Jingyao, like her, treated her as a brother and sister.

It rained all night, and when Su Mei woke up in the morning, she could smell the fragrance of flowers floating in the courtyard. She couldn't bear it anymore, and finally opened the door to the courtyard after breakfast to enjoy the flowers and plants.

But before she sat down on the stone bench, Zi Yan walked over with a smile.

"Miss, the Seventh Prince asked the servant to tell you that he will come later today, and he told you to take the medicine on time!"

Su Mei looked up, only then did she see the tea tray in Zi Yan's hand, and the bowl of medicinal soup on the tea tray.

In fact, the injuries on her body have basically healed, but her eldest brother Jiao Jingyao is always worried, saying that the injuries are minor and the weakness is the most important, and he must take good care of his body so as not to leave the root cause of the disease in the future .She couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to continue drinking the bitter and astringent soup.

Su Mei smiled helplessly, picked up the medicine bowl on the tea tray, and drank it all in one go.

"Miss, here." Ziyan said as she handed the candies on the tray to Su Mei.

Su Mei put the candy in her mouth and said, "Thank you."

"This is what a servant girl should do." Zi Yan scratched her head embarrassedly and said with a smile.Although it is not the first time she has heard Su Mei thank her, but whenever she hears this thank you, Ziyan always feels that she is the one who eats the candy. sweet.

"By the way, miss, Xiao Fangzi who is next to the Seventh Prince came over just now and said that the Seventh Prince has something to do today and may not be able to come here until later." Zi Yan suddenly remembered what Xiao Fangzi said just now, and hurriedly said to Su Mei.

"Yes, I see." Su Mei nodded.

Zi Yan put the empty medicine bowl on the tea tray, and then retreated.

At this time, Su Mei remembered the rose flower she had transplanted from the garden in front of the temple a few days ago. Because it had been placed in the room without seeing much sunlight, the rose flower showed signs of withering. After moving it out, who would have thought that after moving it out of the house, it would be greeted with the storm last night. After a lot of wind and rain, I don't know what happened to it?

Thinking of this, Su Mei immediately got up and walked towards the window.

When Zi Yan returned to the yard, she happened to see Su Mei walking towards the window sill in a hurry. She remembered the rose planted by her miss Su Mei from the front yard a few days ago, and she couldn't help following.

Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief, lamenting the exuberant vitality of the rose, which was still a little languid yesterday, unexpectedly became so alive overnight, truly worthy of being the queen of flowers!It seems that things in this world really cannot be forced. Only by staying in the place where it really belongs can it grow vigorously, and the same applies to people!

Ziyan didn't know what Su Mei was thinking, looking at Su Mei's emotional expression, she thought Su was pitying the rose.

Zi Yan smiled lightly, and said: "Miss, the vitality of this rose flower is very strong! Even if there is no tree root, as long as it is given soil, it will be able to grow roots, and it will still bloom beautiful flowers."

Su Mei turned around when she heard the words, smiled faintly at Zi Yan, without explaining, letting Zi Yan misunderstand what she meant, then turned around and gently wiped the raindrops on the petals with her hand.

Seeing that Su Mei loves this rose so much, Zi Yan suddenly remembered that the roses in the front yard were also in bloom, so she couldn't help but suggested with a smile: "Miss, this servant just passed by the garden in the front yard, and happened to see the rose blooming in full bloom. And today's weather is also very good, the air is very fresh, why don't I accompany you for a walk, the air there smells particularly sweet."

"Okay." Su Mei replied with a light smile.

Zi Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon recovered her usual expression.She didn't expect Su Mei to agree so readily this time. Normally, she would have to talk for a long time, but she might not be able to persuade her to go for a walk.

In just half a cup of tea, Su Mei and Zi Yan came to the garden in the front yard, but Su Mei suddenly stopped and looked at the two people in the gazebo.

Although the two people turned their backs to them, Su Mei could still recognize that the man sitting on the right was her elder brother Jiao Jingyao, and the other person, if she remembered correctly, was the prince Jiaojing No doubt about it.
