Chapter 49: Fighting Wits and Courage (Plus Change)
After Feng Zixi seriously explained to the king of Zhennan and the general that night, she left Ruxin, who was careful in her work, to take care of the two of them.
Early the next morning, Feng Zixi left Guanjiazhai smoothly with Ruyi, and Guan Ming kindly sent two guards to protect him all the way.
Returning to the palace of Songyue Kingdom, Feng Zixi did not use the token of Princess Xuanji on her body to enter the palace, but used her identity as a little maid to meet her mother and secretly invited her father to the queen mother's bedroom.
The father was dressed in a dragon robe, and he was extremely majestic. The moment she saw Princess Xuanji, a pair of angry eyebrows instantly straightened up on her square face, thinking that she didn't want to kiss, so she secretly ran back.
When he saw Princess Xuanji's hand, the pocket token of Zhennan Wang Xuanye, he instantly quieted down and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" β
Feng Zixi bowed her head and knelt down, briefly told the conspiracy of the protector and what had happened these days, and told her father:
"King Zhennan is safe now, I have reached a consensus with the second prince of Dali Kingdom to solve the current situation in a peaceful way, and I ask my father to agree, and I will not take the initiative to send troops to fight."
She didn't rush to say the fact that the general was also rescued safely.
Jun Fengming said that Emperor Songyue was a very talented and ambitious person, and if he knew that the three of them had left the country safely, he would definitely counterattack Dali and seek justice for the 80,000 soldiers.
It must be the people who suffer.
So, she wanted to see what her father's attitude was towards a peaceful solution to the current situation.
The emperor finally reacted from the shock and couldn't help but shout angrily:
"The 80,000-strong army was completely annihilated, and the lives of the two generals of our dynasty were in danger. Tell me how to resolve it peacefully. β
He did not ask where the conspiracy of the protector came from, but was filled with righteous indignation at the safety of 80,000 soldiers and two generals.
A trace of doubt flashed in Feng Zixi's heart, and she explained unhurriedly:
"Father, under the pretext of negotiation, we can send the protector and his envoys to the country of Dali to exchange a truce for the king of Zhennan and the general.
The father and emperor took the opportunity to transfer back the second emperor's brother to be stationed at the border of Beicheng, and coerced the prince of Dali to come to my Songyue to stabilize the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The king of Dali had no choice but to send protons and repair the goodwill of the two countries. β
"This..."The emperor couldn't keep up with Princess Xuanji's train of thought for a while.
The queen raised her slender Danfeng eyes, looked at the emperor with a surprised expression, and hurriedly teased her daughter:
"Xuanji, don't talk nonsense, the truce is not trivial..."
The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for her to finish.
Feng Zixi took a serious look at her father and queen mother:
"Once the protector goes to Dali, he will become a bare pole. Even if he has the support of Xuanyuan Kingdom, my dynasty has the second emperor brother stationed at the border of Beicheng, and the king of Zhennan has returned to the palace to take power, Xuanyuan Kingdom is afraid that he will not dare to do anything with Dali easily. β
After hearing this, the emperor's eyes widened in shock:
"Xuanji, who taught you this?"
Princess Xuanji has been by his side for more than ten years, and he knows very well what kind of material she is.
Let her eat, drink, and have fun, and make trouble. After a long trip and almost lost his life, how could he still come up with such a meticulous and delicate idea?
Feng Zixi replied to the question: "Father, the pledge of the prince of Dali is equivalent to completely cutting off the communication between the protector and the Dali country, and letting the Dali country stand on our side in turn." β
After Feng Zixi finished speaking, she tried to search for Princess Xuanji's memory, and found that the emperor still loved her, but among the princesses of marriageable age, there was no one else except her.
The Emperor sighed and motioned for her to get up and sit down. Feng Zixi sat down in a proper manner, waiting for his father to speak.
The emperor pondered for a moment and looked at his daughter:
"Xuanji, although your countermeasures are good, things will not be as simple as you think. If you know the whereabouts of Ye'er and the general? You tell your father that he will send someone to rescue them first, and then let's think about it in the long run, what do you think? β
Feng Zixi heard that her father was perfunctory to her, and it could be said that she didn't listen to what she said much at all.
She nodded quietly: "Father, I will go to find out where they are imprisoned again, this place is not suitable for a long time, I will go back to Dali first." β
The failure of the harmony did not return to Songyue Kingdom, which means that the Protector was also kept in the dark, and in order not to make the Protector suspicious, she must leave as soon as possible.
The queen mother pulled Xuanji and told her again, before she was reluctant to let go.
The emperor told Xuanji: "There is a Yunxian Residence in Dali Country, if you have news of Ye'er and the general, you must immediately write to the treasurer of Yunxian Residence, and he will find a way to send the letter back." β
Feng Zixi nodded, didn't stop long, avoided the stalkers with Ruyi, and cautiously returned to Guanjiazhai.
Guan Mingju was really taken aback when he saw Princess Xuanji again. He thought that Princess Xuanji would not come back, but he didn't expect that in a short time, she would come back again.
Guan Mingju is a smart person, so he naturally won't easily believe that Princess Xuanji will simply come back, so he let her wait in the house, saying that he will catch the wind for her after he is done.
Feng Zixi nodded with a chuckle, and when she passed by him, she reminded softly and kindly:
"I didn't bring anyone here, and I wasn't followed, so the second prince can rest assured."
"Do you know who I am?!" Guan Mingju glanced at Princess Xuanji vigilantly, followed into the house and closed the door.
Feng Zixiyun found a place to sit down lightly:
"I've known your identity for a long time. However, I can see that your heart for the people is not because you are the second prince, but because you hope from the bottom of your heart that the world is peaceful and the people are healthy. On this point, I am willing to work with you to fulfill this wish. β
Guan Mingju smiled, seeing Princess Xuanji's sincere and firm eyes, he inexplicably believed her words.
poured a glass of water for Princess Xuanji, and asked tentatively, "How did you talk to your father?" β
Feng Zixi let out a long sigh, Guan Mingdu's face was a little pale when he saw this, it seemed that things were not going well.
Guan Mingdu's expression changed, Feng Zixi could see it all, and she could see that Guan Mingdu really cared about the people.
So she boldly said the plan she thought of on the way:
"What do you think would happen if you wrote a letter to my father in the name of the second prince, saying that I and the king of Zhennan were in your hands, and asked him to write a truce to your father?"
Guan Mingju nodded contemplatively: "Naturally, it's the best." β
But how could Emperor Songyue write a truce with just one letter? It's just naΓ―ve.
"Here, write now." Feng Zixi urged Guan Mingzhu to find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Feng Zixi knew in her heart that if Guan Ming couldn't see the hope of peace, it would be impossible to allow the three of them to leave together. Even if she rescues her, she can only save one at most first, so it is naturally more appropriate to save King Zhennan first.
Seeing that Guan Ming had not moved, Feng Zixi urged unhappily and motioned him to hurry up.
Guan Mingju had to take her to the study, picked up the brush, and motioned for her to write herself.
