One day later, Gu Fei was tracing patterns for the princess in her room when the maid's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty——"

The princess and Gu Fei quickly stood up.

The prince strode in and saw Gu Fei also nodding, "You are here too. I have something to tell you. Prince An is asking for Qing'er to marry his son. I have discussed it with my staff and plan to agree to the marriage."

The princess screamed instinctively: "No! I don't agree!"

The prince looked a little apologetic, "I don't want Qing'er to marry so far away. I am just a daughter, and I want to stay with her."

"But I can't do it without getting married!"

"The envoy of King An means something beyond what he said. If Prince Qi's palace does not agree to the marriage, Prince An will ask to marry the daughter of King Chu."

"If King An forms an alliance with King Chu, won't Prince Qi's palace be attacked from both sides?"

The princess shook her head desperately, "I don't care so much, in short, it is impossible for my daughter to marry Prince An!"

"If you send your daughter there, wouldn't you be sending a hostage into their hands!"

King Qi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Gu Fei knew in her heart that since King Qi decided to send Qing'er out, he had no hope that Qing'er would come back alive.

After using this daughter, she completely abandoned her.

When the princess saw that King Qi was silent, she begged, "Your Majesty, we have an only daughter and we have raised her so lovingly. I can't bear to have her marry so far away. I beg you, don't let Qing'er marry her."

King Qi sighed, "Do you think I can let go of Qing'er? There is nothing we can do about it."

Gu Fei lowered her head. It was hard for her to interrupt in this matter, but Qing'er was such a cute and well-behaved girl, and she didn't want to see her marry into an enemy country.

Although there are only minor conflicts among the three forces at present and no major war has broken out yet, who knows, sooner or later there will be a fight.

It's just that no one can attack the other first, for fear that the snipe and the clam will fight each other and the fisherman will gain.

Gu Fei said softly: "Father, can you think of other ways, such as changing someone else?"

King Qi shook his head, "Do you think I didn't say it? I told King An's envoy a long time ago that I would marry my niece. King An's envoy insisted that he must marry the princess."

Gu Fei bit her lower lip, that's not what she meant by changing someone.

She whispered: "Can you let the maid marry Qing'er instead, or agree to it first and postpone the wedding date."

King Qi glanced at her, "Girl?"

"How can a maid have the momentum of a royal princess? If the secret is exposed, wouldn't it give King An a reason to send troops?"

"As for making an appointment first and postponing the wedding date - Prince An is old. Once we agree here, the betrothal gift will be sent over soon. After it is sent over, Qing'er will be married off."

When the princess heard this, she started crying.

King Qi was upset by her crying, sighed, got up and went out.

After King Qi left, the princess grabbed Gu Fei's hand and said, "Xiao Fei, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

what to do? Gu Fei couldn't think of any good solution for a moment, so she could only comfort the princess, "Mom, don't worry, I'll send a message to the prince first and see what he says."

At night, Gu Fei went to Xiao Yu's side again.

Xiao Yu is currently stationed in Hedong County, which is only a few hundred miles away from the capital and borders the sphere of influence of King An. Xiao Yu is heavily guarded here.

From Hedong County to the capital, it was a flat road without any natural dangers. It is no wonder that King An came up with this idea of ​​​​marriage.

Prince Qi's palace has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. In a fight, Prince An may not have a chance of winning.
