After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

Chapter 255 Chapter 255

In the middle of the night, Xiao Qiyu was still in the barracks.

Today, he wanted to say goodbye to his brothers in the army. He originally wanted to take Mu Yunjiang with him, but she felt that it was better not to spread the news that the princess followed the prince to the border, so she didn't go.

She was full of sleep during the day, but now she couldn't sleep, so she wrapped up a fur cloak, went out for a walk, and waited for Xiao Qiyu to come back.

Unknowingly, she walked to a corridor, but heard someone crying softly... In the whistling night wind, the faint cry still caught her attention.

She patrolled over and found Xiao Qile crying in her room.

A maidservant whispered to persuade her, but it was useless.

I think it's because I'm going to leave the country to marry far away tomorrow, so I can't stop feeling sad...

"Princess, it's late at night, don't cry anymore, go to bed early!"

Standing outside the door, Mu Yunjiang couldn't help but persuade her gently.

"It's... the emperor's wife outside."

Well, although she was disguised as a man today, she didn't change her appearance.Now she is the princess.

The main reason is that she will follow the princess's team to set off later, and she will still look like Jiang Qi at that time. If Xiao Qiyu gets very close to her, if the princess sees something strange, other troubles will arise.

"Yes."

"Is it okay for the queen's wife to come in and talk?"

The princess is so inviting.

"That's disturbing."

A clever servant girl came and opened the door, blessed: "Meet the princess."

Mu Yunjiang glanced at it, she was a very handsome maidservant, and she gave her a decent salute, leading her to the inner room.

By candlelight, she saw the princess sitting by the brazier, her eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying, and she looked timid, which made me feel pity.

"Emperor Sister-in-Law, the Emperor Brother said that you were with him before. If there is anything, I can talk to you. Then I will not be a sister-in-law or an outsider. I want to talk to you, because I feel really uncomfortable... "

As we spoke, pearly tears were about to fall again.

"Well, let's talk!"

Mu Yunjiang took out the handkerchief and wiped her tears.

The princess suppressed her emotions, and then said: "The emperor's sister-in-law is so lucky that she met the emperor's brother. Qi Le once had a sweetheart. But now she has to go to another country and become a pawn in the marriage. She can't even see him for the last time. There is bound to be sadness in my heart.”

Alas, I actually have a sweetheart, no wonder I'm so sad.

At the end, the teardrops fell down again.

"But princess, you have been promised to marry Daqi. From now on, you are responsible for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and your personal emotional needs must be put on hold..."

She knew her persuasion was cruel.

Youdao is nothing to do with yourself, you can take it for granted.But where does a teenage child come from with such deep thoughts of family and country in his heart?

"But why me? I'm not a real princess. Make me a princess and marry a foreign country. Once the two countries go to war, I will be the first to be used to sacrifice the flag... I could have married an ordinary man , simply keep it for a lifetime."

Xiao Qile bit her lip, crying so desperately, presumably all the grievances from the past days erupted tonight.

Mu Yunjiang was silent for a moment, then secretly sighed, she actually agreed with what she said.

In her previous life, before she became a princess, she had such a thought in her heart: she wanted to simply be herself.

Later, she understood that if she wanted to live a good life in a comfortable market or in the countryside, she had to have soldiers to guard the frontier.

As a member of the royal family, once she accepts the task of marrying, the princess has to shoulder her own responsibilities like a general, and do her best to protect her own people.

This is very cruel for a woman, but this is also the duty - just like military generals, they must fight to defend the country.When enemy countries invade, they must either be repulsed or they will die in battle.

"Princess, people can be mediocre in their lives. Marrying an ordinary person is an ordinary way of having children. But in an ordinary inner house life, if you meet a man with different hearts, you will live a miserable life.

"On the contrary, you can live your life vigorously, find a suitable husband, be a great concubine princess, observe the Daqi royal family, and assist your husband, and you can also achieve your dazzling life..."

She hoped that the princess could be strong, because if she was too weak, she would only be the one who suffered.

Now, she can only comfort her like this.

Xiao Qile stopped crying, her eyes were watery, glistening under the light: "Are you trying to say that I can also control my own destiny?"

"Yes, yes, as long as you can find a husband who can support you in Daqi, as long as you know how to assess the situation, you can control your own destiny well?
"Princess, this time you are going to marry far away. It is not known who you will marry. But your third brother knows the current situation in Daqi, and he will help you choose a husband who is most suitable for you so that you can live comfortably in Daqi." .

"The premise is that you have to be clear-sighted. Instead of crying about your fate, it is better to fight your way out to earn a good husband and a good future...

"Princess, before, you were just a princess and a concubine. You could choose a limited number of husbands, but now that you are a princess, you can choose the best one among the Daqi royal family... Thinking so, would you Do you think you've earned it?"

After listening to such persuasion, Xiao Qile suddenly realized that it seems that marrying far away is not a big deal.She thought for a while before saying:
"Sister-in-law, you are really good at comforting people... But I... I am just an ordinary woman, I have no way to control my own destiny... I am very scared... If the two countries go to war, I... will definitely escape mortal..."

She is still anxious about the future.

"It's okay, I can accompany you later, when the time comes, your brother will teach you how to deal with the princes and nobles of Daqi..."

Xiao Qile was silent for a while, stopped crying, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she nodded heavily: "Okay, then I must study hard. I want to be a great woman like the emperor's wife..."

It seems that the mentality is slowly changing.

This is a good thing.

only……

"How did I become a remarkable woman?" Mu Yunjiang asked with a smile.

"I've heard that you entered the palace twice, and you were in danger both times, but you saved yourself from danger every time. In my eyes, you are really amazing... Sister-in-law, can you teach me, How to win in danger?"

Xiao Qile had always admired her, but after hearing what she said, she felt that she was an extraordinary woman.

"Well, I can tell you something about the current situation in Daqi, and the character of those marriageable princes, or princes. It will be good for you if you understand it well... These are all your princes. Brother told me that I know... but tonight you have to rest well, and when I go on the road tomorrow, I will ride in the same carriage with you and explain it to you in detail, what do you think?"

Mainly because it's getting late today.

Xiao Qile was fascinated by hearing this, nodded immediately and said: "That's a deal!"

"Do you want to pull the hook?"

"Hey, that's not necessary."

Xiao Qile finally broke down into a smile—that smile, like the sun breaking through the dark clouds, was extremely dazzling.

Seeing that the princess was in a stable mood, Mu Yunjiang ordered the maidservants to help the princess to rest, and then went back to the room, but did not go to sleep immediately, but listed some situations of the Daqi royal family, and when she turned around, she was going to let the princess Get to know it well.

Later, when she was tired of writing, Mu Yunjiang washed up and fell asleep, and didn't wait for Xiao Qiyu any longer.

In the end, when she was in a daze, she was pushed awake, and it was Xiao Qiyu calling her: "A-Jiang, something has happened, hurry up, wake up. I will trouble you again..."

She was a little dizzy, watching him pull herself up, put a cotton coat on herself, and tie the fur coat on her, wrapping her whole in the warm fur coat.

"What's the matter, is it daylight?"

She rubbed her eyes and looked outside, it was dark:
"What time is it now!"

"It's not on. It's the princess." He looked at her, and said with complicated eyes: "She threw herself into the lake."

These three words made her tremble immediately, she felt a chill on her back, she lost all drowsiness at all, and an unbelievable rhetorical question came out of her mouth:
"Throwing into... the lake? Why did you throw yourself into the lake?"

"It was the princess who stunned the people around her with medicine, and ran to the pool and jumped in. Axu was nearby, and went to pick him up, but he didn't wake up... You should go and have a look..."

"No, I had a good chat with her just now. Her mood has stabilized, why did she throw herself into the lake again? It doesn't make sense!"

Such a girl in the Mood for Love, just ended up in such a dead end?

No matter how much Mu Yunjiang thought about it, she couldn't figure it out. This kind of thing never happened in her previous life.

"I don't know the details..."

He had just returned to the mansion, but found that the guards gathered together, ran over to take a look, only to find out that something serious happened.

"Quick, show me!"

She hurriedly looked at it, and indeed she died of breathing, and drowned.

In this cold weather, such a delicate girl wanted to die. That's right, she left a suicide note, saying that she didn't have the courage to go to Daqi to face that strange environment, and she just wanted to die...

Faced with such a shocking change, the two couples can only look at me and I look at you, not knowing what to do for a while.

This matter is a bit complicated.

Now if I go back to Beijing to report this matter, the consequences will be: the marriage will be delayed.

At that time, the emperor will confer the title of the princess again, and send another envoy to Daqi for at least a month.Daqi's queen mother can't wait that long.

The reason is: this marriage, in terms of Da Qi, has the meaning of joy.

The Empress Dowager is half a native of Great Liang. She hopes that the two countries can have a good relationship, so she wants to marry the two countries again while she is still alive. Don't cause war between the two countries because of her death. Otherwise, it will not be peaceful after she dies.

Now that the princess is dead, this is an unlucky thing, if the marriage cannot be completed as soon as possible, then Da Qi will have something to say, thinking that it was because Great Liang failed to send the princess in time, which delayed the celebration, the queen mother died.

In this way, it will provide them with an excuse to send troops.

"My lord, my concubine, I have something to report..."

Just as the couple were studying this troublesome matter in the study, someone called out from outside, it was the voice of a servant girl.

Mu Yunjiang could hear clearly that it was the voice of the princess' maid Adai.

"Asuo, you let her in!"

Xiao Qiyu gave an order.

Adai rushed in, knelt down on the ground, and cried, "My lord, my concubine, our princess didn't throw herself into the lake, but was forced to do so. This is not suicide, it's murder... My lord, I beg you to find out the murderer..."

This statement surprised Xiao Qiyu, he raised his head and looked at Mu Yunjiang unconsciously.

"Why do you say that?"

Mu Yunjiang asked in surprise.

"Not long after the concubine left, someone walked into the room and knocked Ah Lian and me into a coma. But my body is different from ordinary people, and ordinary drugs can't do much for me.

"In a daze, I saw someone jumping in from the window, forcing the princess to write a suicide note, and even forcing the princess to jump into the lake, otherwise, the princess' mother will die... That person is holding a hairpin to force the princess... ...After I woke up, I tried to persuade me, but the man turned around and hit my sleeping point..."

Adai said what she saw, her tone was extremely firm.

"Have you seen that person's appearance?"

Xiao Qiyu asked in a deep voice.

"No. But I saw that the man was sloppy. A trace of white hair on the left side. Obviously. A man. He smelled of alcohol."

This clue is important.

Xiao Qiyu immediately sent an order: "A Suo, gather all the people in the whole house for me, everyone must be present... immediately..."

"Yes."

Aso went as ordered.

After a while, there were eleven guards in the general's mansion plus three people in charge of the house, and ten of the wedding procession also lived in the house.

These people were all gathered in the yard, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what happened.

Xiao Qiyu asked Asuo to hold a torch and took Adai to recognize someone.

Adai looked at everyone, but there was no one she mentioned, so she shook her head at him.

"Asuo, is everyone here?"

Why did Mu Yunjiang feel that there were two missing?

Asuo replied: "All the people who live in the yard have come, and there are two more who live in the stables, and the stables are built in the outer courtyard, so I didn't call..."

Mu Yunjiang's eyes flashed, "Find me those two..."

Asuo went immediately, and brought the person over in person to let Adai recognize him, but it was a pity that he didn't.

The little old man guarding the stables asked: "My lord, who are you looking for this late at night?"

Xiao Qiyu replied: "A lame man with white hair on his left temple, he just sneaked in and stole something very important..."

Regarding the matter of the princess throwing himself into the lake, he couldn't explain it. He could only make up such a reason.

At this moment, the little old man's eyes widened, and he shouted: "An old friend from the missionary delegation who sent relatives to visit last night, got drunk at my place, and slept until dawn before leaving. Could it be that he is what you are looking for?"

When Xiao Qiyu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Who is that person's name? What does he do?"

"My surname is Qi, and my name is Shan. I'm a groom from the mission to send off relatives..."

"Come on, close the gates of the city, and search the whole city for this man named Qi Shan... Asuo, let this little old man immediately describe the appearance of the groom Qiche, before the gates of the city are opened, he must be brought back to the king... "

Xiao Qiyu immediately gave the order.

Dare to murder and kiss the princess, this person really has the guts of a bear...
