Chapter 63: The Great Army Rushes the Realm
When Lime came to the lobby of Jade Qiong Pavilion, Xiu Yi had been waiting here for a long time.
"Lime ......" Xiu Yi saw Lime coming downstairs, and immediately got up to greet him, he came to Lime and wanted to hold her hand.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Lime folded her hands in front of her, slightly blessed, and dodged Xiuyi's outstretched hand.
Xiu Yi's hand hung in the air for a long time, and his heart struggled for a long time, he finally took a step back and arched his hand, "Eldest Princess Guichen, this king heard that the eldest princess set off for the court today, and I came to see him off." ”
"Guichen has thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here." Lime got up, there was no difference in his eyes, "Some time ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took away Guichen's sword, and now Guichen is about to return to the court, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return the sword to Guichen." ”
"This is exactly what this king wants." Xiu Yi took out the crescent moon from his sleeve and handed it to the lime, but his eyes did not leave the lime surface for half a minute.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Lime took the crescent moon and put it in her sleeve, and didn't say much.
"Eldest princess, Prince Mu is already waiting outside the Yuqiong Pavilion, please move the eldest princess." Jing Chuchu walked from outside the lobby and bowed his hand.
"Hmm." Lime nodded, then looked at Xiu Yi, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, farewell." ”
After Lime finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the lobby, such a resolute figure, without the slightest nostalgia.
Looking at the figure of Lime getting farther and farther away, Xiu Yi finally couldn't help but open his mouth, "Lime, will you forget me?" ”
Lime stopped, her eyes sparkling, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "Because of the medicinal effect, I will forget everything." ”
You know this result better than anyone else.
"Will you forget me?" Qiu Chulin stood outside the lobby, holding a pastry in his hand, his eyes gloomy.
Lime didn't answer.
Since leaving Licheng, Lime's body has been very weak, so Fang Mu sent people to return to the court first, while the team walked slowly.
Halfway through the journey, news came from within the Su Yan Dynasty, saying that the new emperor heard that the eldest princess had been humiliated in Jinnan, and was furious, regardless of the opposition of the courtiers, he personally drove the expedition and personally led an army of 200,000 to the south, and set off on the same day.
Now that my brother has led his troops south, it has been half a month, and if the army moves extremely fast, he should have passed the eastern border of Xiaoyue City at this moment.
As soon as Lime received the news, he came to Fang Mu to discuss countermeasures.
"My brother is indeed reckless this time, he has just ascended the throne, and his foundation has not yet been solid, if this time really provokes the two countries to meet each other, the consequences will be unimaginable." Lime frowned, and her heart was anxious.
"The eldest princess doesn't have to be anxious, this time Prince Jinnan hurt you, it was me Su Yan who took advantage of it, and no matter what Jinnan said, it was a loss. The emperor's move is not to provoke swordsmen, but to prove to Jinnan the strength of my Su Yan and tell the world that my Su Yan is not a weak country that can be bullied. Fang Mu soothed, "As long as Emperor Jinnan can be more transparent and personally go to the border city to apologize to the emperor and the eldest princess, this matter will be over." ”
"I hope so." Lime nodded, frowning but still unable to disperse.
"Eldest princess, in a few days, Jinnan Chaozhong will get the news, in order to prevent sudden changes, we have to speed up, your body can withstand it?" Fang Mu asked.
"Stand it, Lord Wang, please give the order to hurry." Lime nodded.
The time when Jinnan Chao Nei got the news was much earlier than Lime estimated, and before Lime and his party arrived in the border city, the advance team sent by Jin Nan Chao had already caught up, and as expected by Lime, the leader of the team was Feng Shaoyan.
"Lord Mu." Feng Shaoyan stopped Su Yan's convoy and dismounted to Fang Mu.
"Lord Xian, this king is inconvenient and slack." Fang Mu lifted the curtain and bowed slightly.
"Lord Mu, a few days ago, the court received an urgent report of the military situation, the emperor of your country personally commanded an army of 200,000 to the south, and the army was about to be pressed. There was an uproar in the court, there was a voice of anti-war, and the father was unwilling to start a war with Su Yan, so he ordered the king to set off first, catch up with Prince Mu and the eldest princess, and discuss the matter together. Although Feng Shao's words were slow, he couldn't hide the anxiety in his tone, "Lord Mu, this king believes that Lord Mu is the same as this king, and he doesn't want to see the two countries meet each other and lose their lives, so this king is cheeky and asks Prince Mu to give advice for the peace of the people of the two countries." ”
"If you know today, why bother in the beginning?" Fang Mu did not waver in the slightest, and said resolutely, "What the prince of your country has done is really insulting my Su Yan Guowei, what is wrong with my emperor's move?" ”
"Lord Mu, the royal brother made a big mistake, it was my Jinnan's fault, and I, Jinnan, am willing to take full responsibility. But if war breaks out because of this, no one wants to see the outcome. Feng Shaoyan dissuaded, "Besides, once the two countries go to war, the first to bear the brunt must be Prince Mu and the eldest princess, and this king also asks Prince Mu to think twice." ”
"If there is a war between the two countries, we are willing to die to die to protect the prestige of our country!" Fang Mu pondered for a moment, and then said, "Lord Xian, since you are here today, you must have considered the stakes of this matter clearly. The prince of your country seriously injured the eldest princess of my dynasty so far, it is a matter that everyone present has witnessed for all to see, this matter is my Su Yan Zhanli, and it is not an exaggeration for my emperor to go south to attack Jin. But this king may as well say bluntly here, no one wants to see a war between the two countries, and my emperor is no exception, but this matter is that you Jinnan deceives people too much, and although my emperor's generals go south is the next step, it is a helpless move. I, the new emperor Su Yan, have just ascended the throne, and the eldest princess has suffered this catastrophe, if I don't ask Jin Nan for an explanation, wouldn't it make the world think that I Su Yan is weak and can be bullied! ”
Fang Mu's words made Feng Shaoyan instantly give birth to hope, if it was just to ask for an explanation, then this battle could be avoided!
"Senior brother." Lime was helped out of the car by Jing Chuchu, her face was bloodless, her hands and feet were floating, and the bumps of the past few days had cost her most of her mental strength.
"Lime, why are you so pale?" As soon as Feng Shaoyan saw the lime, his heart was instantly tightened.
"The convoy was speeding up, and the road was a little bumpy." Lime coughed lightly, pulling out a tingling pain, "Senior brother, my brother is indeed a personal expedition, it is indeed something I didn't expect." ”
"Lime, even if you and I are our own masters today, Master's teachings are still in our hearts, and you and I, as healers, should be based on benevolence and take it as our responsibility to help the common people in the world." Feng Shaoyan said expectantly, "Lime, you must have a way to stop this war." ”
"Master's teachings Lime dare not forget, but my brother's army of 200,000 soldiers pressed the border, it can be seen that I am really angry, I am far away in Jinnan, although I have the heart but I am powerless." "All I can think of now is for my brother to vent his anger in his heart to put an end to this war." If Emperor Jinnan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are willing to go to the border city in person to make amends to his brother and Su Yan's 200,000 soldiers, they may be able to calm the anger in his brother's heart. ”
"It is natural for the prince of the kingdom to do such a thing and personally make amends. This king sent someone back to Licheng to restore his life, and asked Prince Mu and the eldest princess to wait patiently. Feng Shaoyan said again, "On the next road to the border city, this king is willing to personally escort him to do his best, and ask Prince Mu and the eldest princess to complete it." ”
"Lord Xian has a heart." Fang Mu said, "Lord Jing, help the eldest princess to return to the car, and leave the rest to Lord Xian to arrange." ”
Lime was supported by Jing Chuchu, saluted Feng Shaoyan, and then returned to the carriage, and as soon as the carriage door closed, she immediately lost her strength and fell on Jing Chuchu's body.
She was able to talk to her brother because she was strong, and she was most afraid of seeing her hurt since she was a child, and she didn't want her brother to see her so weak.
At this point, the team resumed its previous slow pace, and the lime finally did not have to suffer from pain every day, and finally regained some blood on his face.
The carriage traveled for more than ten days to the border city, and as soon as he entered the border city, he could feel the solemn atmosphere of the border city and the strong hostility of the people.
Feng Shaoyan sent the lime to the post house, and instructed his subordinates to serve carefully, and then came to the lime.
"Lime, it will take some time for my father and brother to go to the border city, and it will be inconvenient for you to live in the barracks, so it is better to live in the border city and take care of your health. Although the border city is small, it is well equipped, which is much more convenient than in the barracks, and when the truce between the two countries is reached, you will be better rested before you can hurry. Feng Shaoyan said, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
"Senior brother, don't be embarrassed, Lime will listen to you." Lime smiled.
"It's Senior Brother who can't stand you." Feng Shaoyan said.
He needed to keep her as a temporary hostage, in case Fang Jinyue received her and attacked the border city.
"Since we got out of the Abyssal Valley, you and I should be ready for today's situation, shouldn't we?" Lime was stunned, her eyes a little darker.
After leaving the deep valley, each is his own master,-for-tat, but it is only a matter of time.
A few days later, Emperor Jinnan and the crown prince rushed to the border city, and after a short period of adjustment, they immediately repaired a letter and sent it to the Suyan camp to express their friendship.
Fang Jinyue set up a camp tent in Shili Pavilion, ten miles away from the border city and the camp of the Suyan army, and invited Emperor Jinnan and the crown prince to a banquet.
On the day of the banquet, Lime put on a light makeup to hide the pale color on her face, and then got into the carriage and followed Emperor Jinnan to the Shili Pavilion for the banquet.
"Congratulations to the new Emperor Su Yan on his ascension to the throne." Emperor Jinnan entered the big tent and made a way.
"I am a soldier of the army, and the last thing I like to hear is the scene." Fang Jinyue didn't get up, and said coldly, "Please take a seat." ”
After everyone was seated, Feng Shaoyan took the lead in speaking, "Emperor Su Yan, this king is King Jinnan Xian, and he is also the senior brother of Lime in the Yuan Valley, this king failed to stop the imperial brother from doing it, and he is deeply remorseful, and he has come to ask Emperor Su Yan for his guilt today." ”
Fang Jinyue was silent, as if she hadn't heard Feng Shaoyan's words in her ears.
"Emperor Su Yan, it is my godson who has no way, even if the vertical son does nothing and makes a big mistake, but now the vertical son knows his own mistakes, and I hope that His Majesty Su Yan can forgive the vertical son." Seeing this, Emperor Jinnan hurriedly spoke.
Fang Jinyue remained silent.
"Emperor Su Yan, this matter is the fault of this king, it is because this king was blinded by his own selfish interests, so he hurt the eldest princess, and this king hereby apologizes to Emperor Su Yan and the eldest princess." Xiu Yi finally spoke, his eyes fell on Lime, his eyes were complicated, but his tone was as flat as water.
"Self-interest? You deceived her for two years for your own selfish gain! Fang Jinyue was furious, he flipped over the table and got up, came straight to Xiu Yi, and lifted his shirt, "The thing I regret the most in my life is that I believe you as a brute!" ”
Fang Jinyue punched Xiu Yi in the face, Xiu Yi did not dodge, nor did he fight back, and he received this punch alive.
Xiu Yi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, Fang Jinyue loosened his shirt, and his cold voice seemed to come from a cold ice hell.
"Even if everything you did was to get the phoenix blood sandalwood, you finally saved Xian Xian's life, and you also helped me break through at the foot of Mu Man Mountain. Xiu Yi, after today, the friendship between you and my brother and sister, between Su Yan and Jinnan, can still be friendly communication, but it is limited to that. ”
After Fang Jinyue finished speaking, he pulled out his sword and cut off his robe, leading everyone to leave decisively.
Xiu Yi wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, and his eyes were gloomy.
West Courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
Here are the clothes she didn't take that day, there are the ornaments she wore, but there is no breath of her.
Xiu Yi sat in front of the bed, holding the letter she left in his hand, and did not move for a long time.
"Jun has two intentions, so he decides against each other, and the promise of Chinese New Year's Eve is no longer persistent."
