Horse on the World

Chapter 422 Letter

Married as a married woman, Nafu, the former grassland princess who moved inland to Dingzhou, dressed in a big Chu woman's attire, with a slightly protruding belly, stepped into Princess Qingcheng's room with a calm face. She was also pregnant for several months. up.

"I've seen Princess Qingcheng!" Neveu slightly bowed and saluted Qingcheng.The proud prairie flowers of the past are now washed away, and the extravagance and arrogance are gone.

Qingcheng was a little sad. Naveu was once a proud girl of the heavens, just like her, but once she fell into the dust, she was not as good as a phoenix without hair.Although Nafu's husband, Nuo Qia, is still serving as a general in the Dingzhou Army, commanding nearly [-] soldiers, he always acts cautiously, except for marching, training and fighting. On the contrary, it is not as good as Sushun Qiyu and his ilk.

"Sit down!" Qingcheng pointed to the brocade stool in front of her, "You are already a fit person, you won't be able to stand for long."

Nafu smiled slightly, sat down gracefully, and looked directly at Qingcheng, "Prairie girls are not so pampered."

"Looking at your attire, where do you still look like a woman from the prairie?" Qingcheng pointed to Neveu and said with a smile.

"Just do as the Romans do. The princess also knows that my family lives in the inner city, and I don't want to be pointed at when I go out, so I can only dress like this."

Qingcheng nodded in understanding. Most of the people living in the inner city of Dingzhou are old Dingzhou people. These people have more or less hatred against the barbarians.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, you came to me suddenly today, you can't just come to chat, right?" Qingcheng turned the conversation to the main topic.

"As entrusted by someone, I brought a letter to Her Royal Highness," Naveu said.

"A letter?" Qingcheng looked at Neveu in surprise, "Who actually asked you to bring me a letter?"

"An old acquaintance of the princess knew that today I would come to attend the hundred-day banquet of Mr. Marshal Li. If he had the chance to meet the princess, he came to the door and asked me to bring you this letter." Neveu smiled.

Qingcheng was originally a smart person. Hearing this, he already understood who that person was, and a look of indignation slowly appeared on his face, "He is so courageous, how dare he sneak into Dingzhou? He is not afraid of being caught by Qingfeng." Go? Qingfeng is now doing all it can to clean up the staff's influence."

Nafu said: "The princess is right. He is indeed courageous, but he is also smart enough." Reaching out to light the palace lantern on the table, he said with a smile: "Princess, look, this lamp illuminates the surroundings extremely brightly. Now, it's a pity that there is still a shadow under the lamp. The so-called darkness under the lamp is the reason! At this time, the dangerous place is the safest place. Qingfeng is far away in Fuzhou, and she may not think of what she wants People are in her lair!"

Qingcheng took a deep look at Naveu, "Is this the real you, a prairie princess who seems to submit to Dingzhou but still doesn't give up in private?"

Nafu said nonchalantly: "Princess, you can arrest me with a single order. That person is in my mansion, and he must not be able to escape. We were captured in one go. Of course, Marshal Li was overjoyed, and Qingfeng also I will definitely praise you for killing relatives with righteousness, you are worthy of Marshal Li's virtuous wife!"

Qingcheng was deeply hurt, his face changed color, and he said: "Nafu, don't think that I don't know your little thoughts, you wish to fix the civil strife in the state, so that your grassland barbarians can make a comeback? If you pay attention to this, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, I am Princess Dachu, Mistress of Dingzhou, and I will never allow this to happen."

Neveu lowered his head, feeling a stabbing pain in his heart. It seemed that the eldest brother who was burned alive, the second brother who was hacked to death with knives, and the father who was so sad that he finally fell on the battlefield appeared in front of his eyes. Neveu's face passed by Neveu's eyes one by one, his eyes were slightly red, making a comeback?Deep sorrow floated in Neveu's eyes, it's impossible!
Neveu had to admire Li Qing for the treatment of the prairie barbarians. Although the nobles lost a series of privileges, they kept their wealth, which made them lose the courage to resist. Not everyone is willing to take the risk. The risk of losing everything to engage in a career with a bleak future, not to mention that Li Qing still gave them a lofty status and kept their huge wealth, like Qiyu, Xiao Shun, and the others are now doing business well, day by day It's been a long time since he was in the fight for money, and Naveu felt even more desperate for the people at the bottom. Today's life of the barbarians is much richer than before on the grasslands, and they will not have any thoughts of rebellion.

The current Naveu has no hope of reappearing the glory of the golden family in the past. What supports her is only hatred, and the endless hatred for Li Qing.What she wanted to do was to kill Li Qing. If Li Qing hadn't appeared, neither her father nor her brother would have left her.

"A comeback?" Neveu said in a low voice, "Princess, do you think this is possible?"

Qingcheng sneered and said, "It's best if you know."

"Does the princess want to read that letter?" Neveu asked.

"Why doesn't he come to see me himself?"

"He didn't dare to come. He said that he doesn't know what the princess thinks now? Is the princess the all-powerful princess of Chu, or the mistress of Dingzhou who is now devoted to Li Dashuai? If it is the former, he will Will come to see you, if the latter, he will leave sadly."

"I am not only the mistress of Dingzhou, but also the princess of Dachu. Since he dare not come, I don't want to see him anymore. You go back and tell him that Nanny Rong has been with me for 20 years, but because of his order, she sent her away in vain. Life, death is worthless, I will not forgive him for this matter!" Qingcheng sternly said.

"Those who do big things don't care about small things, princess, he is loyal to Da Chu, and he thinks and schemes for Da Chu's sake. After hearing what the princess said, he must be disheartened." Nafu said coldly .

"Da Chu, where is Da Chu now?" Qingcheng sternly said, "Is it my nephew who sits on the emperor's seat in Luoyang City but has become a puppet of the Xiao family, or is it Qu Yongjie from Xingzhou who he works for now?"

Nafu laughed, "That's right, now Commander Li has a strong army and sufficient financial resources. He is sitting on Dingfu and merging the three prefectures, and also has the vast grassland and Shiwei area. Now he is planning to conquer the Northland and annex the Zeng family. Presumably After three years and five years, the person sitting on the high seat in Luoyang City will be Marshal Li Qing. The princess assisted the marshal meticulously. Chu is brilliant."

"Shut up!" Qingcheng stood up eagerly, "Great Chu has established the country for hundreds of years, and its inheritance is immortal. Above the court and in the grass, I don't know how many loyal people are there. How can anyone easily overthrow it? The pearl is covered with dust, justice is not manifested, but one day, I, Great Chu, will rise again."

Neveu sighed lightly: "Your Highness, are you consoling yourself? Well, if you don't admit what I said, then let me ask you, if Marshal Li is really loyal to Da Chu and the Xiao family rebelled, why did he fight with you instead?" The Xiao family formed an alliance. If he is really a loyal minister of the Great Chu, he should raise his teacher to the east and eliminate the Xiao family. Moreover, even if he is concerned about Emperor Zhaoqing, who is above the court, why didn't he attack King Ning? It is clear that the chariots and horses are going to rebel. On the contrary, Marshal Li is only thinking of annexing the North and the Zeng family. What is he paying attention to, princess, you really don’t know? Or are you really going to become the queen of the mother world from the mistress of Dingzhou? ?”

Pointing to the outside: "Listen, the sound of gongs and drums outside is to celebrate the commander-in-chief. With the current situation of Dingzhou, the prosperity of the breeze, and the love of the commander-in-chief for Na Jiyue, you Will it really come true? To put it bluntly, princess, even if you give birth to a legitimate son, whether it can be safely raised is still the same thing?"

"Shut up!" Qingcheng shouted sharply, but there was a sense of powerlessness in her eyes. Neveu's words hit her heart. Insufficient in strength, he was punished everywhere, restricted in everything, and was almost imprisoned in the Zhenxihou Mansion.

Neveu smiled and stood up. Her goal had been achieved. She took out the letter from her pocket, placed it gently on the table, bowed to Qingcheng, turned and walked out of the room.

Looking at the letter, Qingcheng seemed to be dazzled. She quickly turned her head away, held on for a while, and finally stretched out her hand. The thin letter seemed to weigh a thousand catties. Pick it up, put it down, and pick it up again.

Finally, Qingcheng took the letter tremblingly, gently tore open the seal, and only glanced at the handwriting on the letter, as if struck by lightning, stood up abruptly, his body shook a few times, his eyes turned black, almost Want to faint.

In the middle of the night, Nafu, who had returned to his mansion, went straight to the study. Nuoqia had already gone to the barracks, and was going to lead the army and commander Li Qing to Luofeng tomorrow to support Jiang Kui and Tian Feng in the northern campaign. There were only Nafu and Tian Feng at home. Several loyal servants.

In the study room, a man in Tsing Yi was reading a collection of books with great interest by the candlelight. When he saw Naveu coming in, he put down the book with a smile, and asked her with a smile, "Have you seen the princess?"

Neveu snorted, "Yuan Fang, I think your princess is indecisive, and she has nothing on your mind to help you. On the contrary, she really hates you."

The man in Tsing Yi is Yuan Fang, the commander of the official secretary. Hearing Nafu's words, he smiled and said, "It's okay, the princess hates me for a reason. Nanny Rong has been with her for more than [-] years, but she sent her away because of a word I said." But as long as the princess reads the letter, I'm sure the princess will help me."

Nafu sneered: "You asked Nanny Rong to design Jiyue in the first place, in order to make Li Qing jealous of Qingcheng, make Jiyue Qingfeng hate Qingcheng even more, and make Qingcheng's life in Dingzhou extremely sad. Slowly, step by step, you forced her into your life boat, right?"

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "That's as complicated as you said. At the beginning, I really wanted Jiyue's life, but I didn't expect... Forget it, let's not talk about the past, but Princess Nafu, you are willing to help me , it was beyond my expectation, you know, your actions may cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people from your clan in the future."

Neveu laughed loudly, "What does their life matter to me? How have they ever cared about my father's life and my brother's life? Among the barbarians today, besides me, there is one person who misses them, and one person who thinks about it Are they taking revenge? They are going to die, and I will take care of them!"

Yuan Fang's heart trembled, this woman's psychology is a little abnormal now, and he has to be very careful when he has messed with her, this kind of woman who is blinded by hatred can use it well, it is a sharp sword in his hand, If it's not good, it's going to set you on fire.
