King Xin also walked to Chu Ning's side.

Chu Ning asked in public: "Who ordered this palace to go to Mobei and relatives?" ”

Her momentum is not angry and self-assured, where is there still the stupid appearance of half a minute ago?

Empress Yao covered her lips and coughed lightly, and said, "Naturally, it was Your Majesty's hand-picked order to order the third princess to go to the Jingshuo Khanate to make peace." ”

"Brother Huang's serious injury has not healed," King Xin's eyebrows raised slightly, "When will the decree be made?" ”

Empress Yao pretended to be calm and replied: "Some time ago, Your Majesty came to his senses and deliberately talked to the palace for a while. ”

King Xin wanted to say something more, but Chu Ning had already stood up, "Since it is the will of my father, why don't you see the holy decree?" ”

"The emperor has been sick in bed, and the third princess also knows it."

Yao Xingyuan took the initiative to relieve Queen Yao and said: "What's wrong with the queen mother's will to convey the emperor's will? ”

Chu Ning looked directly at Yao Xingyuan and said: "The matter of harmony is not my family's business, it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the peace of the northern border of my Houzhao. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Wang Qitang and the others, and said word by word: "This is a state affair, and it needs to be decided by the lord of a country." ”

Wang Qitang narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "The matter is big, and the third princess is reasonable." ”

Yao Xingyuan hurriedly said: "What Niangniang means is what the emperor means, what else is there to doubt?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yihuai sneered and glanced at him with a strange smile.

Empress Yao couldn't wait to order someone to tear his mouth apart, "But if the northern envoy comes, the emperor is not healed, wouldn't he lose his dignity?" ”

Chu Ning was disdainful in his heart, it was related to the stability of the country, but this woman in the deep palace only thought about decency.

Yao Xingyuan was just about to help, but Chu Ning had already grabbed the conversation.

"The demeanor of a great country lies in friendship and goodwill with neighbors and fearlessness of strong enemies. Friends, welcome them. The enemy, reject it. ”

"I am a descendant, crisscrossing five continents, and I am a system of my own, why do I need to look up to people everywhere?"

Yao Xingyuan saw that Empress Yao's face was becoming more and more ugly, and interrupted her angrily, "The immature girl is ignorant! ”

"Lord Yao," said King Shin, smiling meaningfully, "I think this is reasonable. ”

Chu Ning paused, exchanged a look with King Xin, and said, "That's why it's the case, and the relatives are the next step." ”

Empress Yao's eyes were cold, but her face smiled gently, "Oh? What should I do? ”

Shi Yihuai took the first step and stepped forward to reply: "Take the emperor's eldest son back to the court, treat the envoys with courtesy, and show my great country's bearing." ”

Wang Qitang's face changed, and before Empress Yao could speak, he immediately retorted: "Absolutely not." ”

Shi Yihuai smiled, his eyes were shining, and he asked, "Why not?" ”

Seeing that the two of them were fighting first, Empress Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Does Lord Wang have any other candidates?" ”

Wang Qitang was not afraid to give a provocative gaze, and replied: "The old minister recommends His Royal Highness the King of Letters. ”

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on King Xin, who paced a few steps leisurely as if he were strolling leisurely.

He smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "This king's qualifications are mediocre, and he is embarrassed to take on a big responsibility. ”

Wang Qitang suddenly said urgently: "Believe in His Royal Highness, and listen to the old minister!" ”

Shi Yihuai sneered: "Can't Lord Wang hear that the prince is not here?" ”

"Or is it that Yao Xingyuan is the best at falling into the well," Lord Wang still believes that His Royal Highness is your old son-in-law? ”

Last time in front of Chengqian Palace, Yao Xingyuan poked Wang Qitang's heart and fainted the old man on the spot.

Today, he was in a hurry, and he wanted to repeat his old tricks.

Just as King Xin was about to stop him, his lips lifted, and even more ugly words were spat out.

"Miss Wang is afraid and embarrassed, Lord Wang is still better not to regard himself as a relative of the emperor."

He involved Wang Qitang's most important face and the daughter he cared about the most.

In just a few words, for Wang Qitang, it can be said that every word is heart-wrenching.

"Yao Xingyuan!"

Wang Qitang shouted angrily, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Yao Xingyuan deliberately exclaimed, "Hey? Lord Wang is suffering from heat stroke? ”

King Xin strode forward and inspected the situation in Wang Qitang with several ministers next to him.

Empress Yao took the opportunity to order: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor." ”

The palace was full of people and chaos, and everyone was dismissed.

Chu Ning didn't have a chance to say her claim at all, so she was politely sent out of the palace by Qiu Mo.

She looked back at the palace room behind her, but saw Chu Sleeve standing by the door, smiling at her.

Chu Sleeve walked up to her and sneered: "Mobei is bitterly cold, the third sister is here to cherish." ”

Chu Ning didn't look at her, turned around and left, and Chu Sleeve's voice came from behind him.

"Don't come back alive."

Late at night, Imperial Garden.

"The matter of harmony," Chu Ning paused and said slowly, "You've heard about it, right?" ”

Han Tang nodded silently, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In the past few days, the news that Chu Ning was going to Jingshuo Khanate and his relatives was spread in the palace.

Everyone knows that the third princess was scared silly on the night of the palace change.

If the Northern Barbarian found out that the bride was a fool, wouldn't he slash her on the spot?

And, what if you annoy those murderous guys who don't blink, and they come at them in a big way?

At first, there were a few guards who chatted with Han Tang about the northern border defense.

But later, they joked in front of him that the women of the Northern Barbarians were often by horses, and the third princess should not be ......

Han Tang was angry, and taught a few people a lesson, warning them not to talk nonsense about the third princess.

"Yo, are you so daring? Other masters can't say it, what else can't a fool say? ”

Han Tang no longer paid attention to those guards, they didn't dare to speak out after they were beaten, and no one said this in front of him.

Chu Ning's expression was extremely serious, and he said, "Han Tang, the person who went to kiss me was me." ”

She looked at Han Tang fixedly, her eyes waved, like the wind passing through the willows, silently brushing the tip of his heart.

Han Tang's father and brother have been guarding the northern border for many years, and he naturally doesn't want to see the resurgence of Mobei.

"Hmm." Han Tang's heart was filled with sadness, "A big country, do you have to rely on women to change for a while?" ”

Chu Ning's eyebrows raised, "Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?" If this palace goes to make peace, it can really solve the danger of Hou Zhao......"

She waited for Han Tang to take the next words, but she was faintly afraid that he would continue.

Han Tang, can you really understand her?

Chu Ning asked Han Tang to see her, it was already a desperate gamble, and she definitely couldn't lose.

Han Tang's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, "If you are facing the danger of losing the country, it is not too much to adopt a friendly approach and change a glimmer of life." ”

A slight cracking sound came from somewhere in Chu Ning's heart.

But Han Tang quickly shook his head and said: "Hou Zhao has not reached a desperate situation, and before the war has started, he first fears the enemy, how is it different from a coward?" ”

Chu Ning's eyes lit up and he asked, "Your father and brother are defending the northern border, aren't you afraid that the war will affect your family?" ”

Han Tang said sharply: "Although my Han clan is not warlike, I am not afraid of war. This is true of my father and brother, and so are the frontier soldiers. ”

He tried hard to suppress the surging emotions, "As a man, he has been a horse all his life and fought for the country. ”

Chu Ning vaguely felt that the face in front of him gradually coincided with the face in his memory in his previous life.

Her nose was inexplicably sour, and she couldn't help asking, "But, if you die on the battlefield?" ”

"Horse leather shroud," replied Han Tang without hesitation, "it's far better than hiding behind a woman's skirt." ”

Yao Xingyuan should listen to this sentence.

Chu Ning came back to his senses, suppressed the sourness in his heart, held Han Tang's arm, and said, "This palace is not married." ”

"Okay."

As soon as that word came out, the two looked at each other deeply, and their hearts were full of ups and downs.

Finally, Chu Ning said in a low voice, "Han Tang, help me." ”

The current situation has reached a desperate situation and cannot be easily resolved.

She was determined to live to the death and broke the game directly.

The former harem regarded the envoys of the Jingshuo Khanate as the most intractable crisis.

If there had been a more intractable crisis, touching everyone's interests, they would no longer have stared at her.

And this crisis needs to erupt immediately, sweeping everything away like a storm.

But she can stand on the cusp of the storm and control this storm for her to drive.

Han Tang seemed to have thought of something, and Chu Ning said the question in his heart for him, "This palace wants to see the emperor." ”

"But the emperor is still recuperating from his injuries, and he doesn't go out all day long, and the queen doesn't allow anyone to enter or leave."

Chu Ning raised his lips and smiled, "Because the emperor is dead." ”

Yes, Han Tang suddenly thought of the ice cubes that Chengqian Palace kept sending, the silent imperial doctor, and the closed palace gate......

Chu Ning's words just now strung together all the vague clues in his mind.

He still couldn't believe it, "But, what's the use of His Highness going to see the emperor?" ”

"This palace wants everyone to know," Chu Ning sneered, "It's time to set your sights on that dragon chair." ”

The two spoke a few more words, and just as they were about to separate, there was a rustling sound from the bushes behind them.

Han Tang immediately protected Chu Ning behind him, and Chu Ning stared nervously at the person who walked out from behind the tree.

"Smack, smack." A few sporadic applause rang out, and Jingqin walked up to the two with a sneer.

Jingqin sneered: "It's really wonderful! The guards had a private meeting with the princess late at night, which was a palace drama. ”

Chu Ning walked out from behind Han Tang and said calmly, "When did my aunt find out?" ”

Jingqin asked rhetorically: "What did you find, Han Xiaogongzi and the third princess are ambiguous, or have they been privately decided for life?" ”

Han Tang said angrily: "Hugh has to slander His Highness's innocence!" ”

Chu Ning blinked at him quickly, turned around and said, "Since it was discovered by my aunt, is it okay for my aunt to have a private relationship with this palace?" ”

"The third princess has a private meeting with a foreign man, violating the palace rules," Jingqin replied, "such an inappropriate behavior cannot be covered up by slaves and maids." ”

Han Tang still wanted to argue for Chu Ning, but she secretly pushed him.

Chu Ning stared at Jingqin and said with a smile: "This palace did not ask my aunt to protect me, but wanted to make a deal with my aunt." ”

Jingqin's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Han Tang, "I'm afraid the third princess can't afford to open a price that can loosen the palace rules." ”

Han Tang was worried, he didn't know when Jingqin found out about the two of them, and how much he heard the previous words.

Chu Ning said with a smile: "This palace is about to marry far away, and there is only one lover in this palace who can't let go, so he will naturally offer all the price to protect him." ”

"Phew," Jingqin took a sip, "The third princess is so shameless, so it is even more difficult to block the slave's mouth." ”

Chu Ning motioned for Han Tang to leave quickly, "Auntie, let him go back, the hostages of the Han family can't be damaged." ”

"Besides," the corners of Chu Ning's lips curled in a strange arc, "The fewer people who know about our deal, the better." ”

Jingqin thought for a while, beckoned to a eunuch, "Han Xiaogongzi got lost in the palace, you take him back to Chengqian Palace." ”

Han Tang knew that if he stayed, it would hinder Chu Ning's negotiations, so he glanced back at her and was about to leave.

"Be sure to send Han Xiaogongzi to the palace gate, lest he get lost halfway and accidentally walk back to the Imperial Garden."

Jingqin sneered and glanced at the eunuch, "Go quickly." ”

After Han Tang left, Jingqin looked at Chu Ning, "Third Princess, hand over your chips." ”

Chu Ning raised his fingers and made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice, "This is not the place to talk. ”

She led Jingqin to the inaccessible lake, "Since you can find the two of us, others can also see you and me." ”

Jingqin felt justified when she thought about it, and she boasted that she had pinched Chu Ning's handle, so she relaxed her vigilance and walked into the shadows.

Chu Ning carefully stepped on the stones by the lake, trying not to leave footprints in the wet soil.

Jingqin has always despised Chu Ning, and she didn't take her seriously at all, nor did she pay attention to her actions.

The lake was surrounded by lush trees, and the shade of the trees was like a canopy, obscuring the moonlight from the top.

After walking for half an hour, Jingqin was already a little impatient, "Does the third princess think she can delay the past?" ”

Chu Ning stopped, looked around, and replied, "Then it's good to be here." ”

"Say," Jingqin tore off her usual gentle disguise, "where did you hide the heirloom jade seal?" ”

Empress Yao sent people to search inside and outside the Chengqian Palace, but no trace of the jade seal was found.

Chu Ning was closely watched by them, and he couldn't carry such a big stone by his side.

If she hadn't wanted to get the jade seal from her, Empress Yao would have already sent her into the cold palace as a madman.

Chu Ning didn't answer, his eyes rolled, and he asked, "Was the killer that night really sent by the queen?" ”

Also, little pendant.

Jingqin sneered: "Want revenge? Don't be overwhelmed, you're like a bed bug, just a little crushing and you're gone. ”

"Third Princess," Jingqin cursed with her arms folded, "don't wear down my patience. ”

Chu Ning squatted on the ground looking for something, and said in his mouth: "This palace has ordered someone to bury the jade seal here. ”

Jingqin was suspicious, and also stared down at her, seeing that she seemed to be rummaging through the pile of rubble.

"Don't think about playing tricks with me, or there will be more ways to make you want to die."

Chu Ning was still rummaging through the pile of rubble and replied, "Yes, death is the easiest thing. ”

Jingqin kicked her in the back, and she nearly fell into the sharp pile of rubble.

"Are you lying to me?"

Chu Ning turned his head, and the corners of his lips provoked a strange smile, "Found it." ”

"I'll see."

In the dim moonlight, Jingqin couldn't see what was in Ning's hand clearly.

Chu Ning said softly: "The light is dim, and there is soil on it, so my aunt can only see it clearly when she gets closer." ”

Jingqin didn't dare to deceive herself, so she leaned over to see what she said.

"Bang!" A dull sound exploded in Jingqin's head.

Her head was wounded, blood was flowing, and she stumbled a few steps with her head covered.

But the soles of her feet were covered with slippery mud, and her vision was blurred, and the soles of her feet slipped and fell to the ground.

When she realized what had just happened, she was terrified and wanted to call for help.

Chu Ning's wrist flicked, and the blood-stained stone fell down again.

Jingqin snorted and fainted.

Chu Ning clearly heard the heart in his chest beating wildly, and threw away the stone in his hand like a prostration.

She didn't know how much Jingqin had heard, and she couldn't let Jingqin go back alive.

This woman owes her life, and it's time for her to pay it back today.

Chu Ning thought about the faces of Xiao Shen'er and Mama Ji, and dragged Jingqin towards the lake with great difficulty.

It took a lot of effort for her to drag the unconscious Jingqin to the lake.

In her previous life, the body that could still carry a gun and mount a horse had turned into loess, and she really felt the weakness of this body.

In this life, she is afraid that she will not have the opportunity to fight in the north in person.

Thinking so, she crouched down by the lake, lifted Jingqin's head and pressed it into the water.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed.

The hazy moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and she saw the slender and clean fingers on her wrists.

That man's fingertips had calluses left by years of martial arts practice.

"Your Highness," Han Tang's handsome face gradually enlarged in front of her eyes, "Don't kill." ”

Chu Ning let go of Jingqin's hair, and Han Tang also let go of her wrist.

"If she doesn't die, this palace will have to die."

"Well, I'll do it."

Han Tang pressed Jingqin's head into the water, Jingqin seemed to wake up, and it was useless to struggle desperately.

A series of bubbles are constantly gurgling from under the surface of the water.

Her fingernails were digging into the mud, as if they were going to take root in the dirt.

But soon she stopped struggling, and the last bubble that rose in the water shattered on the surface.

Only then did Han Tang say to Chu Ning: "I will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, and these hands will be used to kill people sooner or later." ”

Chu Ning picked up a few stones and put them in Jingqin's arms, grabbed her arm and dragged them into the water.

"You're different," Han Tang stopped her, and picked up the dead body and threw it into the lake, "If you want to kill you, I'll kill you for you." ”

Chu Ning looked at him deeply, his handsome face seemed to be caged in fog.

No matter how clearly she tried to see it, she could only see vague outlines, just as she wanted to see that person on her deathbed in her previous life.

"Your Highness, you can go quickly, and I will handle it here."

Chu Ning saw that there seemed to be patrolling guards not far away who were coming towards this side with torches.

"Be careful." After speaking, Chu Ning stood up and deliberately ran to the other side.

The sharp-eyed guards saw her figure and shouted, "Who is it?" Hold it! ”

All the guards chased after Chu Ning, and she led everyone away and ran away along the lake.

The mud by the lake was slippery, and she was afraid of leaving footprints, so she specially picked up smooth stones to step on, and the soles of her feet slipped and half of her body was planted in the water.

"There! Chase! The guards were getting closer and closer to her.

Chu Ning hurriedly got up, picked up his wet skirt, and continued in the opposite direction.

The body's endurance was extremely poor, and her skirt was extremely heavy when wet, which slowed her down a lot.

All the way over, she was already out of breath, and her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.

She gritted her teeth, burrowed into the bushes, and ran to the lake on the other side, the footsteps of the guards behind her.

"You didn't lose it, did you?"

"See, it's there!"

Chu Ning was caught up by the lake.

The guard held a torch to her face and asked, "Third princess? How did you end up here? ”

"She's here with Hongu."

A soft girl's voice sounded, and the guards turned their heads one after another.

I saw a cute palace girl in Yuxue holding a lotus lantern and walking towards Chu Ning with a smile.

The guards hurriedly saluted the girl, "Fourth princess." ”

Chu Yue handed the river lamp with the lotus core burning the candle to Chu Ning, "Third sister, forget about the sinking of the lamp just now." ”

As she spoke, she took Chu Ning with her soft little hand, "Let's go, there are still several lights in Yue'er." ”

The guards were just about to get out of the way, when someone looked down and saw Chu Ning's skirt being half wet.

"The third princess stayed, and was chasing an assassin who had fallen into the water."

He didn't speak, his eyes stared straight at Chu Ning's skirt.

Chu Yue exclaimed in surprise and opened her eyes, "Assassin? Where are the Assassins? How did Hongu not see it. ”

Seeing that they were still staring at him, Chu Ning smiled at Chu Yue and said, "I think they treat this palace as an assassin, right?" ”

Chu Yue protected Chu Ning with both hands, and shook her head like a rattle, "How could it be?" The third sister accompanied Yue'er to put lights on the lake. ”

She followed the guard's gaze to Chu Ning's skirt.

"There was a lamp that was tripped by duckweed, and it was the third sister who went into the water and pushed it away."

Chu Ning said: "It's a pity that the palace chased all the way over, but the lamp still sank." ”

Chu Yue shook her head and said, "It's okay, my father will definitely get better." ”

Several guards heard it, and it turned out that the two princesses came to the lake to put lotus lanterns in order to pray for the emperor.

"Damn it, it disturbed His Highness."

Chu Yue waved her hand and said, "The nurse said, you can't talk about life and death all day long. ”

"Third sister, let's go."

Chu Ning was held by her hand and walked to the side together.

Her heart was uncertain, the little hand she held in her hand was warm and soft, and Chu Yue looked up and smiled sweetly at her.

What does this teenage girl know and why did she appear so coincidentally?

Chu Yue smiled coquettishly, clenched Chu Ning's hand, and whispered with a sly smile: "The third sister and that elder brother, Yue'er has seen it." ”

Chu Ning's face changed instantly, but Chu Yue pinched her fingers comfortingly.

"The third sister will accompany Yue'er to put lotus lanterns to pray for her father's blessing tonight, and the other Yue'er doesn't know anything."

Chu Ning nodded, "Well, Yue'er is the most sensible." ”

Chu Yue smiled and showed two tiger teeth, "The third sister is Yue'er's favorite third sister." ”

In the memory of the original owner, Chu Yue's biological mother Concubine Rong had a good relationship with Concubine Shu, and Chu Yue and Chu Ning also had an extremely deep relationship.

That night, the Interior Office was brightly lit, and the wedding dress was made all night and the dowry was counted.

In the early morning of the next day, Qiu Mo led people to hold the wedding dress and came to the Chu Ning Palace.

Chu Ning didn't say a word, and let them change her clothes and makeup.

Empress Yao was afraid that she would neglect the Jingshuo Khanate, so she wanted to send the letters of state repaired by the two countries along with Chu Ning as soon as possible.

After the dress was done, the palace maid helped Chu Ning onto the sedan chair and went to the palace gate in a beautiful manner.

Empress Yao had already led hundreds of civil and military officials to wait there.

She stood in full costume, radiant, with a gentle smile on her face, and instructed: "My son is here and how precious it is." ”

"Yes, my son obeys." Chu Ning nodded slightly at her through the red yarn hanging on the sedan chair.

Yao Xingyuan couldn't wait to whisper: "Niangniang, the auspicious time has come, it's time to let the third princess go on the road." ”

Empress Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to say goodbye, and said, "Go ahead." ”

The bridal procession was just about to set off when smoke suddenly rose from the east.

For a time, the fire was in the sky.

Someone exclaimed: "It's Chengqian Palace!" ”
