Chapter 213
Hearing this news, Princess Yingxin's heart fell to the bottom.

Even though Chu Yuan came to Jindu to temporarily take root in this way, she was imprisoned in the distant Beiliang!

I didn't expect Emperor Donglin's "make decisions for her" to be like this!

Make their mother and child completely separated!
This incident caused an uproar among the common people, and everyone had mixed opinions on Donglin Emperor's actions. Many men agreed with his actions, thinking that he had preserved the people's well-being and the stability of the city-state.

Some female relatives feel pity in their hearts, and they can't bear the situation of Princess Yingxin, and feel sympathetic to each other, secretly condemning the ruthlessness of Emperor Donglin.

The result of such a two-phase confrontation is a very good thing for Emperor Donglin. He hopes that the two countries will maintain friendly relations forever. Moreover, he exchanged Chu Yuan back, and he also fulfilled the entrustment of the former emperor to him, and compensated him. This is the sacrifice of Princess Yingxin for the country and family.

In the past few days, Princess Yingxin was full of resentment.

Thinking that her son will be sent to Jindu to live a proton life where he will be judged by others, and will never get everything he should have as a legitimate son, and even lose the love of his biological mother, she feels both guilt and embarrassment. Annoyed, more sad.

"aunt!"

Emperor Donglin walked into the wing, looked at Princess Yingxin with an angry face, vaguely guessed her state of mind at the moment, and couldn't help calling her tentatively.

Hearing Emperor Donglin's call, Princess Yingxin turned her head and saw him standing at the door with a flattering smile on his face.

She was suffocated, and the expression on her face became stiff.

"How did you come?"

Emperor Donglin quickly took a step forward, holding Princess Yingxin's hand as he did when he was a child, and asked softly, "Auntie, are you unhappy to see Yu'er?"

Princess Yingxin shook off Emperor Donglin's hand, "I am in Tianlu now, and I am a disaster that brings trouble. Your Majesty should not be happy to see me!"

Emperor Donglin's hand suddenly froze in the air in embarrassment, and his complexion changed, and he quickly explained: "Auntie, how could you be a disaster star! Besides, Yu'er really wants to help you, as long as it is what you need, Yu'er I will do my best to help you achieve it."

Princess Yingxin felt cold, "No need, you don't need to promise me, because I don't trust you at all!"

With that said, he stood up and prepared to go out.

Emperor Donglin hurriedly chased after her to block her way, and explained eagerly: "Auntie, we haven't seen each other for ten years. Yu'er often dreams about her childhood during this time, and she can't sleep well every night. Today I just have time to spare, so I came here to accompany my aunt."

Princess Yingxin refused indifferently, "You should go back! I don't want to see you!"

A look of disappointment flashed across Emperor Donglin's eyes, and then he suppressed his inner emotions and said with a smile: "It's natural for my aunt to be angry with me. But, in ten days, my aunt will return to Beiliang. My aunt used to like to be lively, so I specially prepared a grand farewell banquet for my aunt, and invited all the officials to participate, and I hope my aunt can show a smile when she arrives."

Princess Yingxin ignored him, bypassed him and went straight out.

She knew in her heart that the ceding of those two cities was not for her Chu Yuan.

Even without their mother and son, Emperor Donglin would make concessions in order to stop the war.

The surrounding enemy countries are eye-catching, and he dare not easily attack a big country like Beiliang.

And taking her and her son as a hostage has maintained the stability of the two countries, which is what Emperor Donglin wanted most.

Unexpectedly, when she defected to her mother country full of hope, what she ushered in was still scheming!

More than ten years later, Princess Yingxin, who was famous in Tianlu, became a tool of the Tianlu royal family once again, and even the debt that forced her to get married back then will never be repaid until she dies!
"Auntie, if you don't believe in Yu'er, you should believe in your father's love for you, right? If you don't go to the banquet, won't you embarrass Yu'er? Father's spirit in heaven will not." What else did Emperor Donglin want to explain? , but was stopped by Princess Yingxin with a wave.

"Stop mentioning your royal father in front of me!" Princess Yingxin sternly interrupted Emperor Donglin's words. "Do you think he treats me sincerely?"

Hearing Princess Yingxin's words, Emperor Donglin couldn't help being taken aback, his face became ugly, and there was anger in his tone, "What does Auntie mean by this sentence? Could it be that in your mind, Emperor Father is a hypocrite?" A treacherous king?"

"Isn't it? At the beginning, he sacrificed his sister to marry Tianlu's enemy, isn't he hypocritical, cunning, sinister and vicious?" Princess Yingxin sarcastically mercilessly, taking it for granted.

Emperor Donglin's face became more and more ugly, "Father didn't want my aunt to marry me at the beginning, he did it for the great cause, for my country and society!"

"Hehe." Princess Yingxin chuckled, and looked at Emperor Donglin sarcastically, "If he hadn't done that, would Tianlu have fallen into the hands of another country?"

Emperor Donglin couldn't answer, let alone understand such a woman's consideration.

At the beginning, the father really had the idea of ​​letting Princess Yingxin marry far away to Beiliang to consolidate the status of Donglin Kingdom, instead of encountering national disasters.

However, he believed that it was a last resort, and not unscrupulous as Princess Yingxin said.

A few days later, a grand banquet was held in the palace. All civil and military officials of Jindu, big and small families, brought their wives and female relatives to attend the banquet.

Ye Fugui was depressed all day long because he was about to move to a new mansion, and Ye Zhaoyan accompanied Ye Wenxuan to the palace for the banquet instead of her.

The banquet was held in the imperial garden, where a hundred flowers bloomed and the scenery was charming, making people linger and forget to return, refreshing and happy.

At this time, the sun hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire palace, making the entire land brighter.

Princess Yingxin came late and was present at the table.

Although she was resentful in her heart, she thought that she would rely on Emperor Donglin to take care of her son in the next few years, and also thought that this appearance would just help Chu Yuan make some connections, so she agreed to the banquet.

As the king of a country, Emperor Donglin was also present.

At this time, his face was livid, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely tired.

He was wearing a purple-gold dragon robe and a jade belt around his waist. His eyes were as deep and dark as a cold pool.

Everyone was intimidated by the cold intimidation emanating from him, and they didn't dare to meet his gaze.

When the hall was completely silent, an eunuch rushed in and knelt down in front of Emperor Donglin, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Beiliang is here!"

Hearing that Chu Li was coming, there was a low voice in the hall instantly.

Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, and they didn't understand why the prince of Beiliang was late suddenly.

Emperor Donglin's face darkened slightly. Today's Beiliang became even more domineering because of Emperor Donglin's compromise.

"Xuan!"

Chu Li, who was dressed in white clothes to win the snow, was handsome and personable, successfully attracted everyone's attention as soon as he stepped into the hall.

Chu Li walked forward step by step, with a faint smile on his face all the time, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
