Seeking peace

Chapter 36
When An Ning saw Yun Qi again the next day, Yun Qi returned to normal.

As if what happened last night had never happened, he quietly accompanied An Ning to eat, and massaged the wounds of An Ning's hands and feet.

The silence between the two of them made others feel suffocated.

For the palace people, this is almost a kind of torture.

They didn't understand what had happened between the two masters.

Why did it seem like nothing happened the next day after such a sharp conflict last night.

The two got along in such a weird way for a few days.

A few days later, a piece of news broke the apparent calm.

It was news from Mobei.

The leader of Mobei, Li Zhan, proposes to marry the second lady of Dayan An Guogong's mansion.

The condition offered was to help Dayan attack Goguryeo.

Goguryeo has always been a hidden danger of Dayan, and occupied a border city of Dayan during the reign of the first emperor.

After Yun Qi succeeded to the throne, he recuperated and strengthened his national power. Sooner or later, he will take back this city.

With Mobei's assistance, Dayan would have won the battle against Goguryeo.

In this matter, Dayan is profitable, but what about Li Zhan?
A woman, change to Mobei's first cavalry to fight?

Is this woman's value too high?
In the eyes of the officials of Dayan, this deal is sure to make a profit.

What the other party wanted was the daughter of a down-and-out minister's family, so why not give it to them?

It's just that the ministers can't figure out the emperor's mind now, because everyone knows that An Guogong's mansion is very special to the emperor.

After going to court, Yun Qi went directly to Taoyuan Residence.

Arriving outside the Taoyuan residence, Yun Qi stood there for a long time, holding in his hand Li Zhan's proposal to marry An Ning.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. The relationship between Miss An and Chief Li may not be that kind. When Chief Li wanted to kill Miss An, Miss An's tendons were also severed by Chief Li." Xia Chen found a reason to comfort his master.

After being silent for a long time, Yun Qi still walked in.

After seeing An Ning, Yun Qi handed her the booklet in his hand.

After An Ning opened the booklet, she felt complicated.

She didn't expect Li Zhan to do such a thing in order to save herself.

An Ning doesn't think that Li Zhan really wants to marry her, this should be the way Li Zhan came up with to save himself.

As long as they leave Dayan and go to the land of Mobei, it's not up to them to decide what to do.

"The mission from Mobei who came to marry you is now in the capital." Yun Qi said.

"The emperor told me what to do, the emperor will not let me out, just find any reason to refuse." An Ning had already started to call the emperor Yun Qi, and retreated to a strange and distant position.

"What about yourself? Do you like him?" Yun Qi asked.

Does An Ning like Li Zhan?
Yun Qi didn't ask.

Yun Qi never asked what happened to An Ning in Mobei in the past three years.

At the border that day, he intercepted An Ning and Li Zhan.

At the same time, he also saw Li Zhan's maintenance of tranquility, but he didn't mention it at all.

This is the first time Yun Qi asked An Ning about Li Zhan.

"The matter between me and him has nothing to do with the emperor." An Ning replied.

She has gratitude and friendship for Li Zhan.

But this has nothing to do with Yun Qi.

An Ning's indifferent expression was like a knife, cutting scars on Yun Qi's heart.

"Do you want to marry?" Yun Qi asked again.

Seems very attached to the answer to this question.
