Chapter 90: The Three-Day Covenant
As a girl, Princess Jin'er grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she didn't know what the outside world was like, and her heart was as light as water, thinking that it was natural for her marriage to obey her father and brother's arrangement.
However, on the way to Heqin this time, I met a polite and chivalrous beautiful boy like Xuanyuan Mingyu, and saw the grand occasion of the bonfire party of the Rota tribe, and only then did I know that life outside the palace was so exciting, and the men outside could let themselves be so moved, and they were moved by mortal hearts, and they did not want to marry a strange and elderly old man with their relatives.
Especially when he saw that Xuanyuan Mingyu was ordered to whip fifty whips in order to protect his own suffering, he was frightened, and hurriedly blocked in front of Xuanyuan Mingyu, told the truth to Prince Sumeng, and said: "Brother Wang, my business has nothing to do with people, it is that I don't want to go to get married, and everything has nothing to do with Xuanyuan Gongzi." ”
"Shut up, Sister Wang, you have to understand that harmony is your mission, and it is related to the friendly relations between our Tanjiang Kingdom and the Xuanyuan Dynasty."
"Brother Wang, do you have to let me, a weak woman, maintain friendly relations between the two countries?"
"Sister Wang, you yourself understand that your father is ill and unwell, and he pins his hopes on you, and the future national security of Tanjiang Kingdom needs you to maintain it for the time being, and you can't shirk your responsibilities for your own selfishness."
Princess Jin'er saw that she persuaded Brother Fudong Wang, and in desperation, she had to use her life happiness to exchange Xuanyuan Mingyu for being exempted from being whipped, and said clearly: "Okay, I promise to go and kiss!" But there is one condition, please let Brother Wang let Xuanyuan Gongzi go. ”
Prince Su Meng saw that Wang Mei changed his mind and agreed to go to make peace, and he didn't want to violate her exchange conditions for a while, so he muttered for a while, remembering that Xuanyuan Mingyu was the third prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, how could he appear here at this time? There must be something strange and asked: "Little thief, this prince asks you, who is the envoy sent by the Xuanyuan Dynasty to welcome relatives this time?" ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.
Prince Sumeng leaned close to Xuanyuan Mingyu's ear and asked in a low voice, "You really don't know?" Or do you want to engage in some conspiracy under the pretext of amnesia? My sister Wang is going to the Xuanyuan Dynasty to marry your father, and her future identity will be the imperial concubine, that is, your mother's concubine, you better not beat his crooked ideas, incest will be cut by a thousand knives! ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu couldn't understand Prince Su Meng's babbling in his ear, and he didn't have the heart to think about it, so he felt that his chest was unbearable, and coughed hard.
Princess Jin'er heard Xuanyuan Mingyu cough weakly, turned around, gently stroked Xuanyuan Mingyu's hair, saw that he was covered in blood, and the rope that tied him to the horse stake was tightened into the flesh, and asked distressedly, "Does it hurt?" ”
Of course, Xuanyuan Mingyu was very painful, and those abrasions made him feel as if his body had been cut by a knife, but he had no regrets about what he had done, and it was very meaningful to help others fulfill their wishes.
"It hurts...... Can you tie me up looser? Xuanyuan Mingyu struggled for a moment, with a painful look on his face, the pair really deserved to be damned, and tied the rope that imprisoned his body too tightly.
"I'm sorry, but I caused you to be like this, and I asked the maid to help untie the rope. Xiaolian, Xiaolian, where are you? Hurry up and come out and help loosen the rope on Xuanyuan Gongzi's body. Princess Jin'er was full of apologies, and immediately summoned the maid Xiaolian to come over to help, not wanting Xuanyuan Mingyu to suffer for a moment more.
The maid Xiaolian had been hiding in the crowd, and when she heard the call of Princess Jin'er, she hurriedly walked over from the girl's pile, and after meeting the princess, she stepped forward to untie the rope.
"Slow!" The second brother of Ren Fu, who was standing on the side, saw that the boss of Ren Sheng signaled himself to stop him, and hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out a hand, stopped the maid Xiaolian, and said to Prince Su Meng: "Your Royal Highness, Sister Ling has been found, and our second lady of Ren Fu has not heard from her yet, so I'm afraid it's not good to release people?" ”
"What do you want?" Prince Sumeng asked.
"Since His Royal Highness the Prince's search for someone has been completed, this person surnamed Xuanyuan is now under the takeover of our Ren Mansion." The second brother of Ren Mansion was blunt.
"No, Brother Wang, don't promise them! Why does the matter of the second lady in their house depend on the head of Prince Xuanyuan? "Princess Jin'er was upset.
Prince Su Meng was a little undecided for a while, thought about it for a moment, and said, "Sister Wang, you don't know anything. Just now this thief was caught in the wilderness, and the people of Ren Mansion also helped, and everyone gathered around to capture him. Therefore, it is not good for us to release people without permission, and also give Ren Fu a chance to interrogate. ”
"But, Brother Wang, you have to warn them not to bully Prince Xuanyuan." Princess Jin'er asked worriedly.
"This ......" Prince Su Meng felt that Wang Mei's consideration of the problem was too simple, Mo Lizhen was in the three-way zone, and they would not listen to their own dispatch.
The second child of Renfu felt that Princess Jin'er's words were very ridiculous, and he was too lazy to deal with the ignorant girl, so he persuaded Prince Sumeng: "Your Royal Highness, it is better for you to avoid it for the time being, and go to the affairs of the country, and the matter of this little thief will not be bothered by your brothers and sisters." ”
In the land of right and wrong, it is useless to stay longer. Prince Sumeng also wanted to lead Wang Mei to leave here quickly, and it was a big deal to be with his relatives, and he couldn't delay the appointed time, but he was a little faceless to leave like this, and he couldn't say anything in front of Wang Mei, so he put down a few words and said:
"This thief was caught by Prince Ben, and it should be dealt with by Prince Ben. However, since you Ren Mansion also has important matters to discuss with him, this prince will give you a chance. ”
"Brother, what's the chance?" Princess Jin'er asked in wonder, always feeling that things were not good.
"The opportunity is to leave this thief in the Rota tribe for three days and put the tribal patriarch in custody. Three days later, when the prince had completed his mission, he would naturally return here to take the thief away. Prince Sumeng had to take a step forward and take a break from the situation.
Ren Sheng sat next to the rectangular table, watching the development of the situation with cold eyes, relying on the second child to come forward to make a point, and secretly grasp the overall situation.
When the tribal patriarch heard that Prince Sumeng had shifted the responsibility to himself, he felt a little troubled in his heart, because if Prince Sumeng left, it would definitely become a dispute between the Rota tribe and Moli Town, which would be very detrimental to the safety of the clansmen.
The second child of the Ren Mansion saw through Prince Sumeng's plan to capture and indulge, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Very good, wise!" Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for the opportunity, three days is enough time for us to find out the whereabouts of the second lady of Renfu. ”
Princess Jin'er didn't expect that Brother Wang would make a three-day appointment, which was equivalent to handing over Xuanyuan Gongzi to Renfu, turning around to see Xuanyuan Mingyu, seeing that his eyebrows were frowning in pain, he endured the pain without saying a word, regretting that he had no strength to save him from the sea of suffering, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and called out apologetically: "Xuanyuan Gongzi." ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu had no strength to struggle, his body was sore and numb, and he groaned: "Hmm." ”
"I'm leaving. Forgive me! I really want to save you, but I don't have the power to save you. ”
Princess Jin'er cried like rain hitting a plantain, and cried into a tearful person. She thought that although it was the first time she met Xuanyuan Mingyu, she was deeply moved by him and was reluctant to leave.
"Don't cry...... Let's go......" Xuanyuan Mingyu looked up weakly, his head hung down, and muttered.
"But what will they do to you when I'm gone? You've been hurt like this, you look so pitiful, I can't bear it! Princess Jin'er burst into tears.
"At most...... It's just a death......" Xuanyuan Mingyu groaned bitterly, feeling that his final result was to be beaten to death by the people of Renfu, life was short and fateful, what else could he do?
"No, I won't promise you to die."
Princess Jin'er cried so much that her eyes were a little red and swollen, thinking that it was all this time, in order to save Xuanyuan Mingyu's life, she had no choice but to live with the second miss, and shouted loudly to the dark sky: "Second miss, please come out quickly!" I'm leaving, and the matter of Prince Xuanyuan will be handed over to you. ”
Ren Zhen hid on the lookout, saw the things below very clearly, and when she heard Princess Jin'er's words, she burst into tears, and thought in her heart: Jin'er, it's not that I refuse to go out and show up, I'm afraid that as soon as I go out, it will be even more unfavorable to Xuanyuan Gongzi, and I'm afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the past.
Princess Jin'er and Ren Zhen both cried, one hid on it and wept silently, and the other stood on the ground and looked up at the night sky and called sadly.
"Sister Wang, let's go!" Prince Sumeng didn't want Jin'er to cause more trouble, and it was better to be less involved in the affairs of Renfu, so he stepped forward and took Jin'er's hand, preparing to take her away.
"Patriarch, where is my royal sister's carriage? Hurry up and get your carriage ready, and the prince will set out with his troops. "Prince Sumeng sensed that the delay would be more troublesome, and he should leave immediately.
The tribal chief stood up, agreed, and ordered one of his tribesmen to prepare a horse and drive the carriage over.
Princess Jin'er was held by Brother Wang's hand, turned around step by step, got into the carriage crying, and saw the maid Xiaolian also sitting in the carriage, and choked up: "Xiaolian, what should I do?" ”
"Princess, don't cry, be careful of your eyes. I can't help it, it's confused, it's like a dream. "The maid Xiaolian's mind is even more blank, how can a little maid have a way?
Princess Jin'er cried mournfully, crying with self-pity: "It's all my fault, I don't want to leave here." ”
"Princess, are you in love with Prince Xuanyuan?" The maid Xiaolian had never seen Princess Jin'er so emotional, so she asked in surprise.
"I don't know...... Why do you ask this? Princess Jin'er was embarrassed by the question, blushing and feeling the carriage start.
Prince Sumeng got on his horse, glanced at Xuanyuan Mingyu, and thought: Little thief, when Prince Ben comes back here in three days, will he see a corpse? I wonder if you're destined to live to that time?
Prince Sumeng urged one of his soldiers to catch the chariot, and he rode his horse closely behind the carriage and led the send-off party out of the Rota tribe.
Ren Zhen hid on the lookout, and when she saw Princess Jin'er's convoy leaving in a majestic manner, she was so entangled in her heart that she should go down? She hesitated, sweat in the palms of her hands, and her face was hot as if she had a fever.
