I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 372 This is the confidence I give you!
"what……"

Liu Xijun turned pale when she heard this.

Although she knew that once she married into the Wusun clan, she would lead a miserable and lonely life, she had never imagined that she would have to endure such a terrible thing.

And the incestuous affair is the darkest shadow in Liu Xijun's heart.

Although she was still young when her father Liu Jian died, her years of slavery made her know many of the dirty things her father had done.

Especially since she was the child of her father Liu Jian and his grandfather's concubine. Such a background made her often ridiculed and mocked. Even though they were both slaves, she always felt inferior to others.

But now that she has married into the Wusun family, she has to do the same thing.

Just by listening to Liu Guo talking about this Wusun custom, she felt itchy all over and couldn't wait to wash her hands, her face, and her body.

It would be great if I could wash off this layer of skin and replace this cavity of blood...

"Hush-hush-"

She unconsciously scratched the back of her hands and forearms with her fingernails, making a subtle but harsh "hissing" sound.

Red scratches had appeared on the back of her hands and forearms. Although the skin was not broken and bleeding, the scratches had become slightly deaf, like blood trails left by a whip.

"What do you do?"

Liu Ju saw this, frowned slightly and asked.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I just felt a sudden itch..."

Liu Xijun finally came to her senses, and quickly stopped moving her hands. She endured the itching all over her body as if ants were crawling on her, and bent down to apologize to Liu Ju, but the anxiety between her eyebrows could not be concealed.

"Is it because of the Wusun custom of step-wife?"

Liu Ju had already seen the essence of the problem and asked again.

"Um……"

Liu Xijun lowered her head and uttered a mosquito-like "hmm", not even daring to give a direct answer.

"There are only three paths before you at the moment."

Liu Ju paused for a moment and then said,
"First, accept reality."

"The marriage was ordered by my father. You are the daughter of a guilty minister, and my father has re-canonized you as a princess. This is a great gift from heaven. Only by completing the marriage will you have the value of existence;"

"Second, wait for an opportunity to commit suicide."

"If you die before reaching Wusun, even my father cannot send a dead person to Wusun, so we have to choose someone else..."

After hearing the first two paths, Liu Xijun's body was already trembling slightly, even her breathing began to become dull, and her hands began to scratch uncontrollably again.

The first path was a dead end for her.

The second way was a dead end for her.

As a weak woman, and the daughter of a guilty minister, she knew that her fate would never be in her own hands. She was like a chess piece that could be manipulated by anyone. Only she knew how desperate this was.

Perhaps, committing suicide is the best decision for her?
But she didn't have the courage to commit suicide, she wanted to live.

Over the years, she had thought countless times about committing suicide to escape this hopeless life, but she couldn't do it. Compared to despair, she was equally afraid of death.

Just like this time of self-torture.

Liu Ju just continued talking to himself:
"Third, follow my instructions and live like a human being."

"I wonder how Your Highness will arrange it?"

These words were like a straw floating in the water, forcing Liu Xijun, who seemed to be drowning, to grab hold of it with all her might.

At this moment, she stopped scratching her arms and looked at Liu Ju with burning eyes, looking at this uncle who was not much older than her and whom she had never met before.

"Let me tell you a story first. A long, long time ago, there was an extraordinary woman named Wu Zhao..." Liu Ju crossed the timeline, put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance, slowly narrating the historical facts of the Tang Dynasty.

……

After a long time.

"Your Highness, do you want me to learn from this extraordinary woman named Wu Zhao?"

Liu Xijun had never heard the story of Wu Zhao, and Liu Ju did not explain the historical background of the story, so she only regarded the story as a fictional fable and first grasped the key point of the story.

"You are much more understanding than I thought."

Liu Ju nodded and analyzed it appreciatively.
"Now that Wusun King Liejiaomi is too old to rule dictatorially, and the crown prince of Wusun has died early, Liejiaomi wants to make the young prince the king, but this move has caused dissatisfaction among the second princes."

"The second prince holds military power and plans to raise an army to kill the young prince."

"Liejiao Mibu gave the young prince 10,000 cavalry and ordered him to go somewhere else to establish himself. He commanded another 10,000 cavalry for self-protection. The rest of the Wusun army was in the hands of the second prince. Therefore, the Wusun Kingdom has actually split into three forces now."

"This way you will have the opportunity to profit from it. If you handle it properly and use clever means, it is not impossible for you to become the Wu Zhao of the Wusun Kingdom."

"Whether or not the Wusun custom of step-wife is to be followed by you will naturally be up to you to decide. Even my father can't say anything. He must issue an imperial decree to commend you and order someone to send you a seal and ribbon to crown you as the queen of Wusun."

Liu Xijun showed great lack of confidence when she heard this, and said with some worry:

"But...can I do it?"

"Remove the word 'ma'. You must first understand one thing. The person standing behind you is my uncle, a member of the Han army of tens of thousands of strong warriors."

Liu Ju said seriously,
"I will always keep an eye on you. Even if the truth is revealed, I can guarantee that Wusun cannot and dare not harm you... Besides, if you don't give it a try now, do you have any other way out?"

"Don't hesitate or worry, just do it boldly."

"Once we reach Yumen Pass, Su Wu will lead his men to Wusun to retrieve the betrothal gifts, and you will stay at Yumen Pass for a while."

"During this period, I will use the two countries of Loulan and Gushi to prove to you what kind of person I am and how powerful the Han army is."

"You will see it, and Wusun will see it too. This is the confidence I give you!"

……

After chatting with Liu Xijun, Liu Ju went back to his carriage.

Liu Xijun turned back and was met with Su Wu's curious gaze again.

But this time she did not lower her head and get into the car without saying a word like before. Instead, she took the initiative to come in front of Su Wu, bowed and said softly:

"General Su, there should be an envoy in your delegation who is fluent in the Wusun language, right?"

"Yes, there is..."

Su Wu was stunned. This was the first time Liu Xijun spoke to him in these days, and she took the initiative to speak.

This made him wonder what kind of magic Liu Ju had that could bring about such a huge change in Liu Xijun in such a short period of time.

"Could General Su please invite the envoy over? I hope to learn the Wusun language in advance on the way, just in case."

Liu Xijun bowed again and said.

"???"

Su Wu was even more shocked when he heard this, he was simply astonished by her beauty.

My Lord is so awesome!
Not only did he get Liu Xijun to talk to me in just a few words, he also asked Liu Xijun to take the initiative to learn the Wusun language in preparation for marrying into Wusun.

What ability is this?
This is simply a human-shaped mouth crossbow that is invincible. It can hit wherever it is pointed and the effect is immediate.

Your Highness has really helped a lot this time. As long as Liu Xijun cooperates, there is no reason why this marriage will not be successful, and the credit is already in my pocket!
"Okay! Okay, okay! Princess, please wait a moment. I'll go and invite you right away. Right away!"
