I also went to Nanwu once and spent a lot of time in Jinling, and the experiences of the twelve princesses and the three princes were very different. Therefore, she has a much stronger feeling for the Prime Minister of Nanwu who is smiling like a kind old man than the three princes. At first glance, when he heard that the old lady Yue was also in Bazhou, the third prince was just surprised, and she was genuinely covered in sweat and hairs.

And after the fright, there is unspeakable grief and indignation. She knew that her father, who had always been wise and martial, could be so easily calculated, and it turned out that the old man who was as cunning as a nine-tailed fox had already arrived. She still remembers the words that the old lady said to her slowly, those words that changed her life and even her life!

Although I don't know if I choose again, I will choose to continue to live my life like that pampered and willful, and then die in a mess like other princes and princesses, or I will choose to seem sober like now, but in fact I can't do anything, I can only be sad and disappointed, but the twelve princesses still tried their best to calm down.

Finding that the man who had just grabbed the wrist of the third prince let go of his hand, she couldn't help but look up at the other party, and saw that there was no expression on that calm face, she knew that the other party was the shadow of the legendary Yue family, and she actually looked at the other party carefully for a moment, and then said: "The third brother and I have not yet paid homage to our father, and after kowtowing, it is not too late to go to see the prince of Nanwu and Yue Xiang." ”

"Then I'll wait outside."

Seeing that the person who came quietly exited the room as when she appeared, the twelve princesses wiped the corners of their eyes, then stood up and walked to the third prince, and suddenly raised her hand and slapped him heavily. The third prince was caught off guard and was beaten one by one, and the short dagger that he had held tightly before fell to the ground with a clang. The Twelfth Princess bent down to pick up something, and then straightened up and scolded bitterly.

"What you just said is right, I got the tip of the bull's horn all of a sudden, but you were about to die just now, have you thought about it, what should I do? The lifeless appearance of the eldest sister, can she count on it? It would be nice if she didn't toss something earth-shattering! Since you know that even if we were not harmonious in the past, we can only help each other to live in the future, why do you still leave me! ”

The third prince covered his hot face, and couldn't say a word for a long time. It wasn't until the twelfth princess stretched out a hand that he was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly came to his senses, and for a moment he felt guilty and moved, and hurriedly held her hand and climbed up with difficulty along her drag.

looked at each other, even if they had been at odds with each other when they returned to Beiyan before, they felt for the first time that there was a relative they could rely on at the critical moment.

So, when the brother and sister kowtowed to their father who had died, and then appeared in front of Yue Ying, although the eyes of the twelve princesses were red and swollen like peaches, and the third prince was gloomy and depressed, but the eyes of the two showed a trace of perseverance that they had not shown before.

And Yue Ying saw that the two of them were standing side by side, in no particular order, and knew that the brother and sister had reached an agreement. Of course, he had no intention of sowing discord, and he had never been burdened with such a mission, so when he turned around to lead the way, he never said a word.

And his indifferent posture of not approaching people, the three princes who followed behind naturally felt very unaccustomed. After leaving the courtyard without saying a word, he finally couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw that the guards who were guarding the gate of the courtyard from Beiyan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Dare to ask where Xiao Rong, the king of Jin, and his subordinates are now?"

Yue Ying's steps did not stop at all, and his voice was extremely flat: "There will be no Xiao Rong in the future, only Zhen Rong." ”

"What does that mean?" The Twelfth Princess was originally full of anger, but now she immediately asked angrily, "The reason why Xiao Rong changed his surname was because he nodded himself!" His father once demoted him to a slave, but later he was not kind to him, could it be that when he saw his father's funeral, he wanted to abandon Dayan and obediently go back to Qingcheng to be his head disciple? ”

Yue Ying was still walking forward on his own, without even looking back. Such a contemptuous attitude is manifested from him, and those who are familiar with him will be accustomed to it, but those who are not familiar with him like the Twelfth Princess will only feel that they have been greatly underestimated. But he didn't take the humiliation that others might feel to heart at all, and the pace of his speech remained unchanged from just now.

"Because Zhen Rong has no other choice, if he wants to keep the robe that he has been fighting side by side, then he has to give up his prince in Beiyan. Fortunately, he has always been a good man who values love and righteousness, so for the sake of the more than 300 lives under his command, he is naturally no longer the king of Beiyan Jin. Anyway, he was not Xiao Jingxian's son in the first place. ”

The Twelfth Princess didn't expect that there was such an inside story behind this, and she couldn't help but scold angrily: "Despicable! I don't believe that Qianqiu would treat Xiao Rong with such a method! ”

"I said it, he is Zhen Rong, not Xiao Rong. Whether it was the original riding slave or the later King of Jin, all of them were conditions that he had to accept for the time being when he had no other way. Yue Ying didn't take the anger of the Twelve Princesses to heart, and after a pause, he said lightly, "As for Qianqiu, I'm sorry, he's not in Bazhou, he's seriously injured and has been sent to the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

Hearing that Yue Qianqiu was seriously injured, the twelve princesses suddenly changed color. She opened her mouth to ask, and then she thought that there were rumors when she was in Nanjing before, Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, took advantage of Yue Qianqiu and Zhen Rong to meet and take down the people, and then took advantage of this to fish out Xiao Jingxian. She wanted to find Xiao Changheng at that time, but later knew that it was her father who really made the move, so she had to stop fighting.

Could it be that his father had already attacked Yue Qianqiu at that time?

And the third prince is also extremely concerned about Yue Qianqiu's situation - not just the other party's life or death, but whether the other party's injury is related to his dead father! He vaguely felt that this was related to the situation of his brother and sister. Even if Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, once told him about the scene before his father's death, he still couldn't rest assured.

Therefore, he turned his heart sideways and asked stubbornly, "How could Yue Jiu Gongzi be injured?" ”

"He was drugged by the Emperor of Beiyan, but his muscles and bones were sore, and he couldn't use it, so he was reckless and asked for three tiger and wolf medicines from Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, and ran out at a critical moment, but he had a seizure after the incident." Speaking of Yue Qianqiu's situation, Yue Ying's tone unconsciously revealed a bit of helplessness, and Fu became cold again, "Emperor Beiyan is dead, and this account can only be settled by someone else." ”

Although Yue Ying's words were not overly murderous, the three princes and the twelve princess brothers and sisters still had a heavy heart. Especially the twelve princesses, who are still thinking about Yue Qianqiu, murmured: "Why did my father treat Qianqiu like that, he obviously admires Qianqiu's ......"

"If he doesn't understand Chiaki's temper, then there is no way to talk about the so-called appreciation." Yue Ying interrupted the words of the Twelve Princesses, and then said in a flat voice, "Qianqiu, although this person is proud and willful, but he doesn't have a lot of thoughts, as long as he doesn't mess with him, he will often turn a blind eye, out of sight and out of mind, but if the person he knows is in danger, he can't sit idly by." ”

"That's a friend, or brother, that's a very reliable friend once we get together."

When he said the last two words in an accentuated tone, he saw the little fat man and the old lady Yue standing at the door of the Dingbei Residence with the inscription written by the little fat man one after the other, so he took two steps diagonally to the side to make way and made a gesture of invitation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yue Xiang are already waiting over there." ”

The twelve princesses who were in a state of turmoil were still thinking about Yue Qianqiu's current situation, and when she looked up and saw the two people over there, she hurriedly lowered her head to quickly wipe away her tears, and then tried to hold her head high, hoping that she could appear neither humble nor arrogant. At this time, the third prince, who had always been weaker and incompetent than her, seemed relatively calm and walked forward unhurriedly, just half a step ahead of the twelve princesses.

When he was the first to come to the two monarchs and ministers over there, the third prince bowed his hand and bowed: "I have seen Prince Wu, Yue Xiang." ”

The little fat man is now able to adapt to this awkward title before, and he drew a gourd in the same way and replied: "I have seen Prince Yan, the princess of Yueguo." ”

And the old lady Yue looked at the twelve princesses who bowed their knees slightly, but did not say a word, and then raised their hands and saluted: "Prince Yan and the princess of Yue came quickly. Since I have already seen the body of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, I will say some things directly. Before, the king of Lanling County mentioned that he wanted to send the body back to Nanjing, but I didn't agree, so I sent it back to Bazhou for the time being. ”

Hearing this, the Twelfth Princess realized that she had indeed blamed Xiao Changheng before. Thinking that people had already said that they wanted to hang up their crowns and leave, Yue Ying said that Zhen Rong also had to return to Qingcheng in order to care about the safety of her subordinates, and her ears seemed to ring the words of the three princes before, and she only felt sad.

The brother she never paid attention to was not wrong, they really have nothing to rely on in the future!

The third prince also looked sad, even if he should be the enemy who forced his father to death in front of him, he could only say against his will: "Thank you Prince Wu and Yue Xiang for protecting your father's body." Now my sister and I are here, hoping to welcome back my father's body and enter the mausoleum. ”

"Can you be safe when you enter the mausoleum?" Old Lady Yue laughed and said sharply, "As far as those guards came when you came, I'm afraid that as long as a stronger bandit attacked, they might not be able to withstand it, right?" As for the mausoleum, even if it has been completed in the past, once the world is chaotic, the imperial tomb will be stolen and excavated as soon as possible, and you will not know it. ”

The third prince knew that the old lady Yue was difficult, but in the face of such naked words, he still only felt extremely humiliated in his heart. It's just that he had just turned around on the edge of life and death, and he was already able to sort out his thoughts, so he asked bluntly at the moment: "What does it mean to take Yuexiang, my sister and I can't invite back our father's coffin now?" ”

"It's not whether you can or not, but it's easy for you to come, and where do you go after you leave? Without Xiao Jingxian, without Xiao Changhui and Zhen Rong's father and son, even if Xu Houcong suddenly has a dragon and a tiger now, it is completely unbelievable, and the left and right sides are even far away in Beijing, life and death are unknown, if you brothers and sisters think that you can raise your arms and shout, and there are many responders, then I will not say anything. ”

Old lady Yue heard a light cough from the little fat man next to him, so he smiled slightly: "My old man's words are very unpleasant, whether you are willing to listen to it or not, it is naturally up to you." The coffin of the emperor of your country is made of Nanmu, and the entire Bazhou City has been searched urgently, and there is only such a board, if you want to go, then I will let people set the car. ”

The little fat man saw that the old lady Yue was singing blackface, thinking of his so-called truth revealed life experience, although he still had some bad feelings in his heart, but the emotions of gain and loss had finally been tightly suppressed by him. At this moment, he smiled faintly, looking graceful, and the words he said were also stable and leaky.

"There is a way that the two countries are fighting each other, and they don't cut them off, but before that was a battlefield battle. His Majesty the Emperor of your country conquered Bazhou for no reason, and finally died on the battlefield, although he was alone as the crown prince, he was very angry about it, but there was no reason to insult his body. However, Bazhou has been attacked repeatedly, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have suffered heavy casualties. ”

His Royal Highness Prince Wu, who was scolded behind his back for not being able to support the wall with mud, changed his face from sincerity to solemnity, and his eyes were extremely stern: "At this moment, if Prince Yan and Princess Yue cannot give corresponding compensation on behalf of Beiyan, it will be difficult to convince the soldiers and civilians of Bazhou, let alone the soldiers who will die!" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and then added: "I can't live up to Qianqiu, who almost died before!" ”

Even if the person mentioned was his grandson, the old lady Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this kind of moment is really not the time to talk about Yue Qianqiu! Even if the prince felt that he couldn't bear Yue Qianqiu, why did he mention it at this time?

Sure enough, the twelve princesses, who had been biting their lipes and refusing to speak just now, suddenly said stiffly: "I, the princess of the Yue Kingdom, compensate for each other, I don't know if it is enough?" ”

The little fat man didn't expect the twelve princesses to be so open-mouthed, and all of a sudden the prince's temperament and princely demeanor were all left behind, and he asked a little stupidly: "How can you compensate for each other?" Are you married to Chiaki? ”

The twelfth princess was just angry, and she wanted to continue to sarcastically mock the prince of Nanwu opposite, do you want me to marry you as compensation, but I didn't expect the other party to play cards out of common sense and asked her if she planned to marry Yue Qianqiu. At this moment, she suddenly became herself. What surprised her even more was the intervention of the third prince.

"Although the twelfth sister once admired the ninth son of Yue, I am afraid that this marriage is not appropriate. After all, the ninth prince of Yue is the mother-in-law of me and my twelfth sister, the son of Empress Wenwu of Dayan, how can my brother and sister get married? On the contrary, the twelfth sister and Prince Wu are a good match regardless of age or identity! ”

The little fat man was almost stunned by the three princes' words, and when he reacted, he was suddenly furious, not to mention that his demeanor was gone, his impulsive personality came back all at once, and all the bad side of being angry was revealed.

"It's bullshit, it's bullshit! Your mother-in-law can't give birth at all, Qianqiu is a trick she casually finds to fool people, and he and your sister have no blood relationship at all! Your sister likes Yue Qianqiu, so go and pursue it to get married, why are you pulling me! The compensation I want is not something that doesn't look like this. One million yuan, or five thousand horses, can't be compensated, Wu Jun will take it himself! ”
