After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 9 False Innocence

King Xiliang frowned and put down the tea cup.

"Although your mother's family's sin is unforgivable, it is already a thing of the past. Compared with today's war disaster, it is just a step in the ocean. Your going to Beiliao to get married can be considered as atonement for your mother's family's sin."

Naturally, the princess cannot be the daughter of the guilty minister. According to the King of Xiliang, Chu Lingyao's mother's family did not clear their name, but only covered it up on the surface, but in fact the theory of guilt was based on it.

Okay, it's really good.

The King of Xiliang has condemned Chu Lingyao's mother clan to death, and he doesn't even bother to reverse the verdict. To put it nicely, it is for the sake of the overall situation, and to put it worst, it is selfish!
Chu Lingyao had known this for a long time and was on guard, but when he heard the Xiliang King himself admit it, his heart still trembled with anger.

She didn't show anything on the surface, but the fingertips in her wide sleeves dug deeply into her palms.

This is the man that my mother has loved all her life. He was more than ten years late even in overturning the verdict, not to mention that his innocence was all false.

Chu Lingyao forced herself to maintain the smile on her lips, "If this is the case, it is a blessing for my father to let me come back to share his worries regardless of his past grudges."

The King of Xiliang was very satisfied after hearing this, drank the remaining warm tea in the cup and left.

After the King of Xiliang left, the curve of Chu Lingyao's lips weakened, and her eyes became darker and colder.

She knew that the innocence the King of Xiliang gave to her mother was a lie just to get her to get married, but she would still come back.

The entire Xiliang is controlled by the King of Xiliang. He can define wrong and right with just one sentence. It is extremely difficult for Chu Lingyao to pull up her family under his nose and prove her mother's innocence.

Even if she relied on her false innocence to make a living among the people, once her identity was discovered and the King of Xiliang's plan to get her to marry failed, could she escape?
On the contrary, getting married is really a good thing for her.

The country currently at war with Xiliang is Northern Liao, whose mother clan was accused of rebelling against the country more than ten years ago.

She went to Beiliao to get married and marry a member of the royal family. Instead, she had a better chance of contacting officials and found out the truth that her mother's family had not rebelled against the country.

The King of Xiliang couldn't give her innocence, so she had to find it herself!

I only hope that the moment the truth comes to light, the innocent souls of my mother and her mother’s clan can rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

Lanyun Palace.

Princess Yuqing lost her temper and smashed all the porcelain and various treasures on the ground.

All the maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

The eldest palace maid in charge heard the sound and came over. Seeing the mess on the ground, her blood faded from her shock. She quickly went up to stop Princess Yuqing.

"Your Highness, these are gifts given by the emperor and cannot be smashed!"

Princess Yuqing didn't listen to the eldest palace maid's words and smashed the jade vase in her hand to pieces. She was so angry that she was most annoyed by someone trying to stop her, so she stretched out her hand and pushed the glazed jade bottle towards the eldest palace maid.

The platform of the eldest palace lady was unstable and fell to the ground, and the porcelain fragments scratched her palm.

Princess Yuqing looked at her angrily, "So what if it was given by the emperor? I can smash it if I want, but meddle in my own business! Give me a slap in the face!"

Before the maid could digest the pain of the cut palm, she raised her hand with tears in her eyes and slapped her face. Immediately, her face was stained with blood, which was shocking.

At that time, a voice suddenly came from outside, "The Queen has arrived!"

Princess Yuqing's little mouth immediately flattened, her eyes turned watery, and she ran towards the door.When the queen walked to the courtyard, she was hugged by Princess Yuqing.

She said aggrievedly: "Mother, my father has gone too far. It is clear, clear that I am the eldest princess!"

The queen took out a Juan handkerchief and wiped Yuqing's tears, then led her in. When she saw the treasure fragments lying on the ground, she didn't blame her. She just said, "Where did your father go too far? Look at what you did here. It's obviously... I spoil you rotten.”

Yuqing's eyes turned red, "Father doesn't favor me at all! Otherwise, why would I let a bastard outside take my place?"

The queen signaled for the maid to clean and led Yuqing to the bedroom.

Yuqing's tears continued, as if she had been greatly wronged.

The queen hugged her and said, "Xiliang is at a disadvantage in the war with Beiliao. If you want to settle the war with a marriage, the princess you marry must be of high status. Your father does not favor you. He is reluctant to let you get married, so he found someone to replace you." You, you have to know that it is not Chu Lingyao who wants to replace you, but Chu Lingyao is your substitute, your tool."

After hearing this, Yuqing crawled into the queen's arms and said affectionately: "I know the queen."

The queen touched Yuqing's head and said, "Good Qing'er, if my mother can make you the eldest princess, you will be the most noble princess of Xiliang for the rest of your life."

The marriage affairs needed to be stepped up as soon as possible. The morale of the soldiers in the Northern Liao Dynasty soared, and the attack on Xiliang was retreating steadily.

When going to court, all civil and military officials had a solemn face, filled with an aura of depression.

The King of Xiliang held his forehead and listened with a headache.

A civil servant came out and said: "Your Majesty, although Bei Liao agreed to the marriage proposal, they asked Xiliang to cut off ten cities as dowries. They wanted to take advantage of the danger and gain it without a fight. It is better for me to ask your Majesty to use the strength of the army. Defend the city."

When the general heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, "You must not do it, Your Majesty! If Xiliang's national power is not depleted like this, even if the people of Xiliang defend the city, they will inevitably be implicated and fall into disaster. In addition to Beiliao, more Fenglan and Chuling are eyeing Xiliang, fearing that the mantis will catch the cicada and the oriole behind them."

Both sides were justified, and the King of Xiliang had an even worse headache.

Unexpectedly, another civil servant raised another concern.

"Your Majesty, Princess Anle has been living among the people since she was a child. Although she is of royal blood, she does not know royal etiquette. Her time is very short. I am afraid that the professor will be one-sided and it will be difficult for the princess to understand. Such a hasty marriage will be detrimental to Xiliang."

If Bei Liao discovers that Princess Anle was found from among the people, her royal bloodline is true, but she is not taken seriously by the royal family at all. Wouldn't this be equivalent to hurting Bei Liao's face?

The time to go to court was gradually lengthened, discussions continued, and with the current national affairs, no one wanted to leave the court early.

In the end, it was decided that Xiliang would not only marry the princess, but also add a proton to provide a double guarantee. Even if Princess Anle was found to be ignorant of the rules and was found by the people, the proton would truly grow up in the royal family.

Regarding the city, since there is one more proton, the number of conversations has changed from ten to three.

Beiliao received the news and responded quickly.

After all, Northern Liao, like Xiliang, could not withstand a long war and had to leave room for defense against other countries.

As for the lion's big request for ten cities, it was just to suppress the other party's price reduction.

The city of Xiliang had to be abandoned because they were not sure whether Beiliao would continue to attack them.
