Chapter 95: The Jedi Strikes Back
Qin Mubai looked at Concubine Yin De's expression and suddenly changed her expression, and she couldn't understand it for a while. At this moment, she was extremely frightened, and then her face was as dead as ashes, and her heart was even more surprised.
Fear? What is she afraid of? Could it be that she is showing some signs of extreme danger? β¦β¦ What can make Concubine Yin De feel dangerous?
Could it be that she sensed the emperor's murderous intentions?!
At this moment, Qin Mubai's face also changed, his brows tightened, his eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Why is Niangniang so panicked? β
"No, nothing." Concubine Yin De is worthy of being a person who has experienced storms and seen the world, instantly stabilized her emotions, her expression was comfortable, and her tone returned to her original softness, and she said slowly: "General Qin, Your Majesty the Emperor can allow you to persuade Ling'er, which shows his trust and respect for you." And you must not fail Your Majesty. In fact, Ling'er is also young and ignorant, and she is excited for a while, and the palace is about to convince her, so General Qin will not bother. β
"That's very good." Qin Mubai nodded in response, but said in his heart: This woman is really good at talking. She obviously realized that it was the emperor who "sent" me, but she said "permission", and instead it was me Qin Mubai who came to persuade me bravely. In this way, the emperor was placed in a position of generosity and magnanimity, rather than a more cold and tough attitude.
With Rou Kegang, she invisibly took care of the emperor's face and maintained his dignity, which is probably the magic weapon that Concubine Yin De can still live in the world for so many years and become one of the four concubines in the harem! After all, her Yin family is the feud of the Li family, and Li Shimin is her father-killing enemy.
How resilient and intelligent is this woman? β¦β¦ Qin Mubai secretly marveled in his heart, and looked at the stunning Yin De Concubine in front of him again, but his eyes just met her. Although he is still dignified and noble, and smiling, there is a trace of palpitation and sadness in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Concubine Yin De naturally looked away and said with a faint smile: "Does the general want to see Ling'er?" β
"No, if you bother, I'll leave." Qin Mubai got up and bowed his hand and prepared to leave. I thought that even the eviction order was so polite and euphemistic, and it really had you.
"Wait!"
Just as Qin Mubai was about to leave, an angry reprimand came from behind the screen. Princess Gao Yang rushed out angrily, first glared at Qin Mubai angrily, and then roared at Concubine Yin De: "Mother, why don't you tell him the truth?" What a big lie that you're about to convince me! - Qin Mubai, let me tell you, I'd rather die than marry my love! I'd rather die, I'd rather die, I'd rather die! Did you hear me clearly? β
For a while, Qin Mubai and Concubine Yin De were stunned.
"Did you hear me?" Princess Gao Yang shouted at Qin Mubai.
"I heard it very clearly, I'm afraid even the palace people outside the door heard it very clearly." Qin Mubai nodded and said.
"Ling'er, you're too impulsive." Concubine Yin De sighed and sat down and shook her head.
"Mother! I don't understand why you have to swallow your anger so much? You saw him this morning, too, how is such a virtuous man worthy to be my colt? You obviously don't like that Fang Yiai, why do you want your daughter to marry him willingly?! Princess Gaoyang shouted angrily: "Anyway, I don't care what you say, I don't want to marry that stupid Fang Er!" Qin Mubai, you reply to my father, or kill me; Or don't let me marry Fang Er! β
Qin Mubai took a deep breath and nodded: "If I really reply like this, then I can only give you a funeral." β
"If Ling'er dies as a mother and can live alone? For my mother, I'll also come to your funeral! Concubine Yin De said, her eyes turned red, her voice suddenly became choked, she covered her mouth with her hands, and endured it without sobbing.
"You, you! β¦β¦ Why are you all pushing me like this! Princess Gaoyang was anxious, stomped her feet, and simply cried loudly: "Why! Why are you all pushing me like this! Woo woo woo what the hell did I do wrong why would I marry that terrible man I don't like! β
Qin Mubai felt his head grow for a while. In his life, he was most afraid of women and children crying. Right now, the mother and daughter are crying loudly in one and sobbing in the other...... Hey, what a sin, it's someone else's family matter, why did you get me involved?
While the mother and daughter were crying, Qin Mubai was also secretly thinking about a safe way to solve this matter in his heart. Just now, from Concubine Yinde's expression, Qin Mubai vaguely felt a trace of a strong crisis. If the guess is right, Concubine Yin De must have realized the emperor's murderous intention.
Thinking about it on the other hand, Princess Gaoyang's marriage is related to the emperor's face. There is nothing more important to an emperor than a king. The reason why the emperor sent me to persuade Princess Gaoyang is probably indeed with ulterior motives, and maybe he really moved the murderous intention. If I can't persuade Princess Gaoyang, then we will most likely end up miserable together.
In other words, right now, I, Qin Mubai, are still on the same boat with this mother and daughter, both with loss and with glory. Case...... Why don't I teach her that vicious strategy? Anyway, someone else is better than my own death...... Who let us be forced? If we keep fighting back, we may lose our lives!
But it's a bit too risky. Because all the people in these games are old treacherous characters. Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, including those who are concerned about this matter, which one is not a human spirit? It's a bit hard to be seamless.
At this moment, Princess Gaoyang's mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Qin Mubai was so engrossed that he couldn't see all this in front of him, and he couldn't hear their crying.
"Stinky man, you really have no conscience. Seeing us crying so sadly, I don't come to persuade us! Princess Gao Yang suddenly twisted her head from her mother's arms, and pear blossom scolded with hatred.
"That's because I know I can't persuade unless I can come up with a clever plan to make sure I have the best of both worlds." Qin Mubai suddenly said with a strange smile.
The mother and daughter were stunned at the same time, stopped crying for a moment, and looked at him in surprise: "What is the clever plan?" β
"It's a brilliant plan, but it's complicated and dangerous. At the same time, the fewer people who know, the better. Qin Mubai turned his head to look at Concubine Yin De and arched his hand: "Niangniang, please forgive Weichen for being rude, I can only tell Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang." β
"What is the strategy so subtle?" Concubine Yin Dexiu raised her eyebrows and questioned slightly, but immediately responded: "But since you don't want to tell this palace, you have your own reasons." At the moment, Bengong is helpless, so I have to believe you. Ling'er is the mother to avoid you first, discuss strategies with General Qin, don't act impulsively anymore, okay? β
"Good!" Princess Gaoyang hurriedly stood up from the ground, waved her sleeves, and wiped the tears on her face again and again: "Mother, you haven't closed your eyes all night, so you haven't slept until now, go and rest, the child and the surnamed Qin discuss strategies." β
"Hugh is rude, it's General Qin!"
"Got it, General Qin!" Princess Gaoyang hurriedly dragged her mother away, and hurriedly ran back to Qin Mubai, and said eagerly: "What a good plan, say it quickly!" β
Qin Mubai looked around vigilantly, lowered her voice and said in her ear: "There are many eyes and ears in the palace, I can't tell you all the strategies at once. It can only be done step by step. Will you believe me? β
Princess Gao Yang raised her head in a daze, looking at Qin Mubai with confusion and suspicion, staring at him with straight eyes.
Qin Mubai's eyes were very firm, his smile was very confident, and he said lightly: "This strategy is also very dangerous. But no matter how dangerous and dangerous we are, we are in the situation we are in. Do you understand? β
"Is there one?" Princess Gao Yang blinked a few times, "I fought to the death, after all, my father has always loved me, and he will definitely not really force me!" β
"You're so naΓ―ve!" Qin Mubai said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, it was the emperor who asked me to persuade you to agree to the marriage, otherwise you think that I really ate the heart of a bear, and the leopard dares to risk the disapproval of the world to come to see you at such a time?" The emperor said, if you don't agree to marry and bequeath, then wait to marry in a place like Tubo to get married! β
"What?!" Princess Gao Yang was shocked: "How is it possible?" How come I've never heard of it?! β
Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed. In fact, he also knew that this was just a means for Li Shimin to scare Princess Gaoyang. Historically, the Tang Dynasty had the matter of sending the princess to marry and kiss, and the most famous was naturally Princess Wencheng. But it was not the emperor's own princess, she was the daughter of the emperor's relatives. Li Shimin is naturally unlikely to really give his own daughter to the barbaric Tubo. But the danger at the moment is best not to let Princess Gao Yang know, otherwise with her temperament, she will be prone to extremes and is prone to bad things. So I had to use Li Shimin's excuse to scare her.
"When it comes to national affairs, do I dare to make it up? Will the emperor deceive us again? Qin Mubai shook his head with a stern expression, "I'm afraid you don't know what kind of virtue the Tubo people are?" I'm telling you. It is said that the native Tubo people on the plateau have not yet been civilized, drink blood, have a rough temperament, and they often share a wife with fathers, sons, brothers, and several people. If you get married......"
"Say no more!" Princess Gao Yang trembled in horror, gritted her teeth in annoyance, and nodded fiercely: "Okay, I believe in you!" Tell me your plan! β
"First of all, you have to accept my advice today, and express your willingness to obey and enter the marriage house." Qin Mubai said.
"What did you say?!" As expected, Princess Gao Yang jumped up at once.
"Excited about what?" Qin Mubai wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at her, "Why are you so unbreathable?" β
"Hmm...... All right. Tell me about your plans below. Princess Gao Yang asked.
"No, I can't tell you." Qin Mubai said: "If I tell you the following plan, you will behave abnormally and cause suspicion. Now all you have to do is take my advice and show obedience. You can be reluctant to admit defeat and compromise. Don't change your attitude too quickly, or you'll see a flaw. β
"......" Princess Gaoyang was speechless for a long time after listening to it, scratching her heart with a hundred claws, and she was eager to know Qin Mubai's plan for the future. So he waved his pink fist and stomped his feet, and he was anxious and helpless, and he opened his teeth and claws for a while, and gritted his teeth - "Okay, it's up to you!" But if you dare to use any delaying tactics to deceive me, or wait for me to marry into the Fang family and use the reality of a wooden boat to frame me, I will definitely swear to you! β
"You just said believe me." Qin Mubai said lightly: "Now that we are in the same boat, what good will it do me to harm?" Remember, only the two of us can know about it, and we can't give it away to anyone else! β
