Chapter 753 The whole family is a rebel (37)

On the third day after Xiao Ji led his army on the expedition, the emperor's envoy came to the north.

The envoy who came this time was acquainted with Princess Jinyang, and his attitude towards her was extremely respectful, but the emperor's will could not be refused.

"Princess, Your Majesty is worried about the health of the second young master and the young princess, and has specially ordered us to come to pick up the second young master and the young princess to rest in peace. Please also ask Her Majesty to understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

After the messenger finished speaking, he saw that Princess Jinyang looked cold and stern and said nothing, so he had to change his tone and persuaded in a low voice: "When your Majesty went to visit the King of the North in private, he saw a lot of fresh things sent from the North. I heard that Those gadgets were all made by the little princess himself, and His Majesty was so impressed that he wanted to see the little princess in person... However, His Majesty was busy with government affairs and could not come to the North in person, so he had to ask his ministers to pick up the little princess. ”

He said this naturally to dispel Princess Jinyang's worries and to get her to agree to a son and a daughter in poor health leaving her to go to Chang'an.

But how could Princess Jinyang agree?

She said coldly: "I accept your Majesty's wishes. It's just your Majesty's request, but I can't obey it. You should go back and get your life back!"

The envoy looked troubled, but he had been in the palace for many years and he was well aware of Princess Jinyang's temper, so he added: "Princess, Your Majesty has personally promised that when the young princess and the second young master arrive in Chang'an, they will live in the Beidi Palace. With the King of the North."

With the King of the North as her biological grandfather to protect her, the princess should feel relieved, right?

However, Princess Jinyang still had a cold face, "I have already said that my daughters must grow up by my side. No one can take them away from me, not even Your Majesty."

"Princess……"

"If you insist on taking them away, you have to kill me."

Princess Jinyang looked at the envoy with cold eyes, "Xiao Ji is fighting outside and has no intention of caring about his family. I am the one who decides the Northland now. As long as I die, whether you want to take away my children or destroy the Northland, No one will stop you anymore!”

As soon as these words came out, the messenger's face changed drastically and he immediately knelt down.

"Princess, calm down!"

"This slave is just following orders..."

Before he finished speaking, the messenger heard the sound of galloping horse hooves.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the messenger's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

Could it be.

Xiao Ji didn't go on an expedition?

All the envoys' hearts were in their throats. Even though they knew that Xiao Ji would not dare to kill all of them with one blow even though he was here, they still fought with each other, sweating like rain.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves stopped, and a cold voice sounded.

"Mom."

"The child is back in a hurry."

The messenger raised his head slightly, caught a glimpse of black robes from the corner of his eye, and recognized his identity from his stature and the ring he wore.

The eldest son of the Northern Prince's Palace, Xiao Ying.

The word "Ying" was the name given by His Majesty to the eldest young master the year he was born, but the name he was called in the North was better known to everyone, Xiao Buyi.

It’s better if it’s not Xiao Ji!

The envoy was reassured and immediately led everyone to salute again. However, Xiao Buyi had no intention of paying attention to them. He just looked at Princess Jinyang worriedly.

My father's guess was correct. As expected, the emperor's decree came just after the army left. He thought that the court would let him go to Chang'an as a hostage, and trap him, the carefully cultivated successor of the Xiao family, in Chang'an, turning him into a useless person and a dead man, and even label him as a treasonous person. It can make the Xiao family bear a heavy price.

But he still overestimated the dangers of the court.

Qu Ji and Yan, one was born with a congenital defect and the other suffered from a heart disease. They had been taking medicine all day long since birth and had never left the north. Let the two of them go to Chang'an. Don't say whether they will be like their great father after they arrive in Chang'an. Being imprisoned like that, only saying that the journey is far away, whether they can reach Chang'an safely is a worrying question.

This is what the court wishes, right?
Xiao Busu took a long breath, turned around and said to the envoy who was saluting: "My majesty and I are already aware of your majesty's intention. I would also like to ask the envoy to come into the house to rest. I will give you a reply after discussing with my mother."

Compared to the domineering Princess Jinyang, Xiao Buyi's attitude could be called tolerant and kind, which made the envoys feel more favorable to him and the embarrassment on their faces became less severe.

Everyone knows that this is a thankless job, but they don't talk much, so how do they have the right to refuse?

Fortunately, the eldest son of the Xiao family is as kind and kind as the rumors say. With him here, this matter may not turn around.

Otherwise, if they cannot receive the people His Majesty wants, even if they go back, what awaits them will not be a good end.

"this way please."

The envoy went to rest under the leadership of the royal servants.

They only felt that there was hope for completing the mission, and completely failed to see the cold and cold look in the eyes of the gentle and gentle Xiao Buji.

After the outsiders were gone, Xiao Buyi helped Princess Jinyang walk to the inner courtyard. When he realized that his mother's hands were trembling, his heart sank.

"Mom, Qu Ji and Yan absolutely can't go to Chang'an, but we can't disobey His Majesty's will, so let's let our son go to Chang'an and apologize to the emperor."

Xiao Buyu said this, but Princess Jinyang did not respond.

When they returned to the palace, Jin Yan and his second brother were applying medicine to Xiao Jin'an. He had just gone to the military camp in the morning and had trained for less than two hours. When he came back, he had a cut on his head, dripping with blood, and it was very scary.

But Xiao Jinan was not afraid at all. He said he didn't feel any pain at all and comforted his brother and sister.

When Xiao Jinan was sent back, Princess Jinyang had already gone to receive the order. When she saw his injuries, she couldn't help but be frightened, "Why are he injured like this?"

She glanced at the room again and said angrily: "Where is Gongsun Qiu? The young master is injured like this, why isn't he here?"

Xiao Quji explained: "Mom, Mr. Gongsun went to see another child."

When he said this, Princess Jinyang immediately understood something and couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinan angrily, "Your father just left, and you started using force with others again?"

Gongsun Qiu is not here, I am afraid that the other person will be injured much more seriously than this kid.

Jin Yan said: "It's not a use of force, it's a decisive battle. A life-and-death contract is established. Life or death doesn't matter."

When Princess Jinyang heard this, she suddenly became angry. She lifted up Xiao Jinan's clothes, pulled off his pants, and slapped the buttocks that had not healed from old wounds several times.

Xiao Jinan screamed in pain and shed tears, but Princess Jinyang did not soften her hand at all.

The two eldest sons advised her while protecting Xiao Jinan, while Jinyan threw herself into Princess Jinyang's arms, "Mom, don't be angry, brother has already realized his mistake."

Looking at the three children whose faces were filled with self-blame and worry, Princess Jinyang closed her eyes, stood up and returned to the house.

Jin Yan and the others treated Xiao Jinan's wounds, handed him over to Gongsun Qiu, who hurried over, and then went to see Princess Jinyang.

When they reached the door, they stopped again.

Princess Jinyang, who had always been strong, majestic and decisive in killing, secretly wiped her tears in her room.
