Chapter 425: Questioning the Prince
The Great Britain Envoy said:
"Princess, the lower officials are only acting on orders, as for what the purpose of our emperor is, the lower officials don't know, the emperor asked me to come to the Golden Phoenix Kingdom to seek peace, then the lower officials just come here, but our emperor really wants to make peace with the Golden Phoenix Kingdom this time."
Qin Meiniang nodded and said:
"Well, presumably your emperor is also very tormented in his heart! He originally thought that he could easily take down our Jinfeng Kingdom, but it turned out to be a big disappointment for him, and he suffered defeats again and again, and even your horses were captured by our Jinfeng Kingdom, think about your emperor must be angry to death, he knew a few days earlier, why did he bother in the first place? If your emperor hadn't started this war in the first place, your Great Britain Kingdom wouldn't have fallen to where it is now! ”
The Great Britain Envoy said:
"Princess, our emperor has really realized that it was wrong to send troops to attack your Jinfeng Kingdom before, and he also regretted it very much, so he specially sent his subordinates to Jinfeng Kingdom to ask for peace, our emperor said, as long as Jin Fengguo can agree to shake hands with our Great Britain Kingdom and make peace, our emperor will compensate Jinfeng Kingdom with 1,000 taels of gold to show his sincerity! Therefore, our emperor's determination to sue for peace brooks no doubt or suspicion! ”
Qin Meiniang smiled bitterly twice and said:
"What a joke, a thousand taels of gold! Your emperor really thinks that money is everything! Just a thousand taels of gold, but if you want to buy back the dead soldiers of our Jinfeng Kingdom, can you buy back the relationship between the two countries to return to the old one? It's a dream. ”
The Great Britain Envoy said:
"Princess, the lower officials are just speaking and doing things according to our emperor's wishes, and I also ask the princess to put down the official and leave here as soon as possible, and go to Kyoto to meet your emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom."
Qin Meiniang said seriously:
"Okay, don't worry, this princess will definitely let you go, and she will definitely let you go to Kyoto safely to see your father, and this princess will go back to Kyoto with you."
The envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom was also taken aback, and said:
"Ahh The princess goes to Kyoto with the lower officials! ”
Qin Meiniang smiled and said:
"Of course, now, you Great Britain Kingdom has confessed, and you all want to make peace with our Jinfeng Kingdom, and it won't be interesting for this princess to stay in this border city and guard it!"
The envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom also smiled and said:
"What the princess said is very true, very true"
Qin Meiniang also immediately said to the Jin Fengguo soldiers who were standing on the side:
"You go down and prepare, and this princess will leave for Kyoto immediately."
The Jin Fengguo soldier hugged his fists and said:
"Yes, princess, my subordinates will go down and prepare."
After finishing speaking, the soldier of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also turned around and walked out of the door quickly.
Qin Meiniang also stood up and said to the envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom:
"Your Emperor knew today, so why did you bother in the first place?"
The envoy of the Great Britain also sighed and said:
"Alas! Originally, Xia Guan also persuaded our emperor, but he insisted on doing so at the beginning, as a courtier of the Great Britain Kingdom, Xia Guan was powerless! That's what we are today! ”
Qin Meiniang also immediately walked to the side to pack up her baggage, took her sword, walked to the envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom, and said:
"Let's go, Princess Ben has also gone back to Kyoto."
The envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom hugged his fists and said:
"Yes, Princess."
Qin Meiniang walked out of the room quickly, and the envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom also turned around and followed.
Qin Meiniang and the envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom quickly came to the neighborhood in the city.
A group of Jin Fengguo soldiers in the neighborhood were also ready, prepared the carriage, and a group of soldiers gathered around the carriage.
Qin Meiniang walked quickly to the carriage, turned around and said to the envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom:
"Well, let's go."
The envoy of the Great Britain Country also hugged his fists:
"Okay, Xiaguan will get in the carriage and go to Kyoto with the princess."
After speaking, the envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom also walked to his carriage, got into the carriage and got into the carport, and the two soldiers of the Great Britain Kingdom also got into the carriage and prepared to drive.
Qin Meiniang also quickly entered the carriage shed, opened the carriage window, and said to one of the soldiers of the Jin Fengguo under her command:
"After I leave, the task of guarding this city will be handed over to you, you must pay strict attention to the movement in the direction of Great Britain, and you can't let the people of Great Britain play any tricks."
The soldier of Jin Fengguo led the way with a fist:
"Princess, please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely guard this city and not let the Great Britain Kingdom take advantage of it."
Qin Meiniang nodded and said:
"That's good, then I'll leave."
After speaking, Qin Meiniang lowered the window curtains of the carriage.
The two soldiers in the carriage also drove the carriage and began to leave.
A group of soldiers from the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also followed the carriage forward.
The carriage in which the envoy of the Great Britain was sitting, and the two soldiers of the Great Britain Kingdom also immediately drove the carriage and began to follow.
In this way, Qin Meiniang personally led the envoy of the Great Britain Kingdom to the direction of Kyoto.
The war between the Golden Phoenix Kingdom and the Great Britain Kingdom also stopped for the time being.
On the one hand, after the Emperor Jin Fengguo learned the news that the crown prince had been caught, he was also very excited and said:
"Good! Now that I've got you, I'm going to bring you back when the time comes, and I'd like to hear why you're doing that! ”
Time passed like this again.
The soldiers who escorted the crown prince and the general of the border guards of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also came to the boundary of Kyoto, and they will soon enter Kyoto City.
As soon as they entered Kyoto Castle, the soldiers who were in charge of escorting the crown prince and the general defending the city quickly went to the gate of the palace.
Came to the gate of the Jinfeng Palace, and several soldiers also escorted the prince and the general of the soldiers guarding the city to the palace, and saw the Emperor of Jinfengguo going up.
Several soldiers escorted the crown prince and the general of the soldiers guarding the city to the room of the emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom.
Seeing this, the emperor of Jin Fengguo was also stunned, and his face sank when he looked at the prince and the general of the soldiers guarding the city, stood up and said:
"You've been escorted to me."
The general of the soldiers defending the city also said with a tangled face:
"Your Majesty, the last general should live the most, and ask the emperor to punish the crime!"
The emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom looked at the general who was guarding the city and said:
"How bold you are! Without the permission of me and the princess, you dared to send troops to attack the British Barracks, and all 10,000 soldiers were annihilated. ”
After speaking, the Emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom rushed to the soldiers standing on the side and said:
"Put the general who guards the city into the prison first, and wait for my punishment."
The two soldiers standing on one side also immediately hugged their fists and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two soldiers also grabbed the general of the soldiers defending the city and escorted him to the prison.
Only the emperor and the crown prince were left in the room.
The prince's upper body was bound with ropes.
The Emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom looked at the crown prince and asked:
"Prince, why did you do this? Tell me why. ”
The crown prince looked at the Emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom and couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and said:
"Why do you do that? Father, this should be asked by the sons, not by you! ”
When Emperor Jin Fengguo heard the prince's words, he immediately said with a depressed face:
"You rebel, you actually colluded with the Great Britain Kingdom, and led the soldiers and horses of the Great Britain Kingdom to attack my Jinfeng Kingdom, as the crown prince of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, you don't think about the people of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, and you don't think about the peace between the two countries, you really disappointed your father!"
The prince then said seriously:
"Father, don't talk about these useless things here, to be honest, although I am not born to you and your mother, but, you have been able to raise me for so many years, and you have canonized me as the prince of Jinfeng Kingdom, I am not without a little gratitude to you in my heart, it's just that I hate it so much, since you have regarded me as a pawn in your hands from the beginning, for your use, you should know that even if it is a chess piece, you can sometimes resist it, didn't you ask me why I did that, that's good, I'll tell you now, the reason why I did this is that I want to personally lead the soldiers and horses of the Great Britain Kingdom back to Kyoto, I want to ask you and the queen mother in person, am I really not as strong as Qin Meiniang in your hearts? I have always been regarded by you as your respective chess pieces in your hands, for your use, is it true that in the end, all the credit must be enjoyed by Qin Meiniang? Why! Is it because I am not your own child, I am not the blood of the royal family, and Qin Meiniang is the blood of the royal family? ”
After the emperor of Jin Fengguo heard the words of the crown prince, he was also immediately angry, he walked in front of the prince, slapped him fiercely, with an expression of hatred that iron is not steel, and said:
"You bastard! You really want to me off, don't you! Now that you know your background, I'll tell you the truth! You are not my flesh and blood, not the blood of our royal family, I didn't know at first, only the queen knew about it from beginning to end, so I am also a victim, I have cultivated my son for so many years in vain, and suddenly one day, the queen said to me, you are not my own flesh and blood, do you know how uncomfortable my heart is? Qin Meiniang is indeed my flesh and blood, the fault of this matter is that your mother should not have been, if it weren't for her wanting to establish a position in the harem, Qin Meiniang and you swapped identities, you were nothing, speaking of which, the person who should know how to be grateful is you, if the queen didn't take you away back then, you might just be an inconspicuous person in the Jinfeng Kingdom now, how could you become the prince of the Jinfeng Kingdom, and also join the Great Britain Kingdom as a concubine! If you want to say that you owe it, the royal family only owes Qin Meiniang, she is the blood of our royal family, but she was exiled to the people, fortunately, the truth of the matter was revealed in the end, otherwise, Qin Meiniang would not know that she would be my daughter in her life, and she would be a member of the royal family of Jinfeng Kingdom. ”
The crown prince was shocked by the words of Emperor Jin Fengguo, he couldn't help choking up, and said with emotion:
"Enough! Don't say it anymore, don't say it, it's too late for you to say anything, it's too late! Do you think I really want to be this prince? ”
