Chapter 152: Bad News Comes
At this time, in a remote corner, a carriage was parked, but there was a mournful cry from inside.
"Sister, brother-in-law will return triumphantly, don't be so sad!"
Chen Ke held Chen Xinrou's trembling shoulder, although he said so, he couldn't stop crying.
The two simply hugged their heads and cried, and then gradually stopped their sadness, looking at the dusty avenue outside the car window, even if they were worried about that person again, they still had to turn the car and return to Beijing.
A month later, good news came from the border gates. That Liu Yuxuan and Yan Guo fought three rounds in a row, but they recovered three lost cities one after another.
The good news came, and the whole country celebrated.
Chen Yu was even more happy, in front of everyone, he did not hide his appreciation for Liu Yuxuan, and praised repeatedly: "The big horse really lives up to expectations." He is really a hero of my great Chen, and when he comes back, I will reward him well! ”
But then came an extremely disturbing news: that Liu Yuxuan couldn't afford to be sick because of the water and soil, and he was already dying.
When this news came, the whole country fell into a panic in an instant.
Chen Yu panicked, and asked Chen Deyong repeatedly: "Uncle Huang, the big horse is seriously ill at this critical juncture, how can this be good?" ”
Chen Deyong also sighed, and didn't know what to do, so he had to comfort him: "The big horse is blessed with a great life, and he is by no means a person with a shallow life!" ”
But who knows, ten days later, it turned out to be bad news again: that Liu Yuxuan was called by the other party to stand for days, and he was forced to be helpless. had to go into battle with illness, but was captured alive by the general of the Dou Ting side.
In less than three days, the border gate sent someone to deliver a document from the other party.
Chen Yu unfolded it and looked at it. Immediately annoyed and ashamed, he scolded sharply: "This Yan Kingdom is really an inch, and he dares to threaten me with the life of a big horse!" If I want to marry Princess Xinrou to Na Dou Ting, then I will put it back into the big horse and withdraw my troops back immediately! ”
In a fit of rage, he threw the paper away.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, but they were too frightened to speak.
Chen Deyong stepped forward. Reaching out and picking up the paper on the ground, he looked at it carefully, and his face was full of anger. But after suppressing it, he whispered to Chen Yu: "Holy Lord, what the other party asked for is indeed too ridiculous. However, the big colt was held hostage by the other party. And that Lu Wen listened to the defeat for several days. is already powerless to resist the other party. If so, we can't bear the anger of this moment, but we are afraid that our thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will fall into the hands of the other party! I hope that the Holy One can calm his anger, and we will make a decision again! ”
Chen Yu was told by him like this, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then hesitated and said, "But." Since ancient times, a daughter does not marry a second husband! Princess Xinrou has been promised to Liu Yuxuan, which is already known to the world. How can I go back on my word and marry her to this prince of Yan Kingdom, Dou Ting? In this way, even if the country is saved, but it leaves behind infamy, doesn't it make me have no shame to face Da Chen Zimin? ”
"The Holy Lord's words are wrong! If it is for the so-called face, but my Dachen people are reduced to slaves of other countries, this is what our Dachen has no face! I hope that the Holy One can choose carefully and make a decision as soon as possible! ”
At this time, all the ministers of the DPRK and the central government followed the example of Chen Deyong and knelt down and begged.
Chen Yu sighed, so he had to nod and say, "I, I know!" Immediately send a letter to Dou Tingxiu, the prince of Yanguo, and tell him that we will do what he asks. I hope he will keep his promise and magnify the horse...... No, let Liu Yuxuan come back safely. ”
Gonggong Hai immediately ordered someone to repair a book, and quickly whipped it and sent it to the border pass.
After retiring from the dynasty that day, Chen Yu drove Qinxiangyuan and informed Chen Xinrou of the matter.
"Imperial sister, I am also helpless, so I have to marry you to him according to what Dou Ting said. Your previous marriage contract with Liu Yuxuan is now null and void. I hope you can be wronged for the prosperity of our Da Chen's country! ”
When Chen Xinrou heard this, it was tantamount to a burst of thunder.
Since she knew that Liu Yuxuan was brought into battle with illness and unfortunately captured by the other party, she washed her face with tears all day long, begging to the heavens all the time, if she could let Liu Yuxuan return safely, she would sacrifice her life, and she would not hesitate to do it.
But at this time, although Liu Yuxuan was able to return safely, he had to marry Na Dou Ting, and since then he has nothing to do with Liu Yuxuan, but it makes her more painful than asking for her own life.
"Brother, I beg you! Don't marry your sister to this stranger! ”
She knelt down in front of Chen Yu with a thud, pleading with him.
Chen Yu was very annoyed, shook his head and sighed: "I know that you and that Liu Yuxuan have a very deep relationship, but, in the face of national disaster, as my princess Da Chen, how can you ignore my Da Chen because of the personal feelings of your children?" This matter has been decided, you don't have to think nonsense, just wait for Liu Yuxuan to return, appease him well, and persuade him to quit. ”
"Brother......
When Chen Xinrou heard him say this, she was even more heartbroken, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up again.
Chen Yu couldn't bear it in his heart when he saw her so painful, but after all, he gritted his teeth and shook off his sleeves and walked out quickly.
Chen Xinrou raised her eyes sadly, her eyes were blank, and she whispered to herself: "Yu Xuan, what should I do?" If I resist and do not comply, your life will be lost at once. But if I say yes, how will we get along in the future? ”
That night, Chen Ke hurried to Qinxiang Garden, and before he entered the hall, he saw Xiaocui frowning and looking inside, anxious and chaotic.
At this time, seeing Chen Ke coming, she hurriedly ran over, fell to her knees with a plop, grabbed Chen Ke's sleeve, and begged in a low voice: "Princess Ke, you can think about it quickly, see how you can persuade my princess to stop hurting yourself like this!" Today, since she heard that she was assigned to the prince of Yan Kingdom, she has been silent, sitting quietly at the table, not eating, and not drinking a sip of water. People are already demented! ”
When Chen Ke heard this, he felt uneasy in his heart, and carefully and slowly entered the hall, and saw from a distance that Chen Xinrou was really sitting at the table, motionless.
Seeing Chen Xinrou's obviously haggard and emaciated back, Chen Ke felt an unspeakable sourness in his heart.
She slowly walked over to Chen Xinrou, looked down, and exclaimed, "Sister, don't you have to look like this, you really want to frighten me!" ”
But it turned out that Chen Xinrou's face was like white paper, but her face was as calm as water, and there was no sadness and tears she expected, but it made her feel even more frightened and uneasy.
Chen Xinrou slowly raised her head, and a smile appeared on her face. (To be continued......)
