Chapter Seventy-Seven: Princess Chang, Could It Be Her?
Outside the window, a quiet winter night with bright moons and stars. It seems that tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve must be a good day.
But tonight, some people are happy and some are worried......
To be precise, except for the appearance of a mysterious old Taoist who seemed to fall from the sky in the evening, and said a lot of things that made her heart surging and seemed to understand or not, causing her to be full of worries tonight and sleepless all night, everyone else seemed to be happy.
Tuobazer was overjoyed to see the dawn of his long-awaited conspiracy;
Xuanyuan Han and Yi Junhao went through hardships and dangers, and rejoiced because they found the divine grass that could cure their beloved's leg disease;
Shiso and Bai Zhi rejoiced that Xuanyuan Han's timely appearance at the critical moment had enabled their master to return safely;
The envoys who went to Dongning to negotiate the peace between Xuanyuan Yue and Mei Zhixuan, the third prince of Dongning, will return to China in the near future. Therefore, in the Western Qin Palace, Xuanyuan Yue was also waiting with joy at the moment;
In Wanjiao Pavilion, Yu Niang got acquainted with Tuoba Ze, a big merchant from Beilie, which made her one step closer to finding her husband, and she was also looking forward to it with joy;
Even Mei Xiyuan and Lu Tianjiao were rejoicing because they had reached a consensus on alliance and cooperation to fight the enemy together;
At this time, in a hidden and quiet house in the southeast of the Western Qin Kingdom, Mei Zhixuan, the third prince of the Dongning Kingdom, was leaning over the bookcase in front of him slightly, pinching his eyebrows with one hand, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, and as if he was thinking about something.
He was dressed in an elegant brocade robe, black hair and jade crown, the lines on his face were extremely perfect, and his whole body exuded a noble atmosphere.
Since completing Mei Xiyuan's wedding mission, they did not really return to Dongning, but pretended to go out of the city halfway and turned back here to settle down quietly.
At this time, a guard suddenly came in and said, "Your Highness, the king's flying pigeon has passed the book."
Mei Zhixuan immediately raised his eyes and stretched out a knobly knuckled hand to take the letter and open it, but his brows furrowed inadvertently when he looked at it.
"But what happened to Dongning?" The guard asked when he saw the displeasure on his face.
Mei Zhixuan quickly finished reading the letter, and while getting up and burning it with the help of the candle on the bookcase, he said with some concern, "It's not Dongning, it's Xiqin."
"Xiqin? But we are in Xiqin now, and the princess has not sent any valuable news related to Xiqin so far. The poisoning of the prince of Western Qin, we have found out that it was instigated by the great prince of Beilie, Tuoba Ze, and we have already sent someone to target him."
After a moment of silence, Mei Zhixuan said, "It was the Western Qin State that sent envoys to discuss the matter of reconciling with my father."
The guard wondered, "Kiss again?" Didn't we just marry the princess to Xiqin, and we still want to be close? Is this necessary? This time it's ...... again."
"Last time, we voluntarily sacrificed Princess Yongle and planted her as a pawn and a fine work to Western Qin to deliver information and dismantle them. But this time...... It was Xi Qin who took the initiative to send their princess to marry our country," Mei Zhixuan seemed to be a little unhappy in his words.
"Could it be that our plan was discovered by Western Qin, and now the Emperor of Western Qin wants to deal with me Dongning in the same way!?" The guards were worried.
“
Historically, since ancient times, the purpose of the family has been mostly the same, and this is something that everyone knows by heart, but the final outcome is different. It's just that... This time, the Western Qin State specially specified the object with whom they wanted to kiss... It's the prince," Mei Zhixuan finished speaking, and a somewhat gloomy look appeared on his face.
The guard was very happy when he heard this, "This is a good thing, Your Highness has been working hard for the state for many years, sharing worries for the monarch, and it is time to have a concubine waiting for you." Look at the second prince, they have already had a group of wives and concubines. It is very annoying to show off his majesty to His Highness."
Speaking of this, the guard paused, glanced at the master secretly, and approached his side a little timidly, and whispered: "Your Highness, even the group of minions under the second prince secretly said in secret, 'Could it be Your Highness, do you have something unspeakably hidden', we are especially worried about His Highness."
"Bastard! is talking about the master behind his back," Mei Zhixuan slapped his palm on the bookcase in front of him and said angrily. The guard was so frightened that he immediately stepped back and lowered his head.
However, he still said sharply: "How can this prince be such a debaucherous and wasted time as the second prince. A good man has a good life, but he only knows what it looks like to indulge in beauty and pleasure all day long? ”。
"What His Highness said is, but His Highness can't never marry for life, and now even Princess Yongle, who is two years younger than His Highness, has already married" The guard was still concerned.
At this time, Mei Zhixuan's tone slowly regained its gentleness, but he said with a little sorrow, "This prince has not found the real reason for the death of his mother-in-law, nor has he found out half of the news about her only daughter who is living among the people, where do you have the heart to take care of the love of these children."
After speaking, he sighed deeply in annoyance.
Half a day later, he said for a long time, "That poor child, don't let anything happen, that's the only blood left in this world by my mother."
When the guard heard this, he hurriedly comforted: "Queen Yan is kind by nature and bodhisattva-hearted. More than ten years ago, in the malaria epidemic that ravaged my entire Dongning and almost killed my Dongning, Empress Yan saved the lives of many suffering people in the entire Dongning country. Heaven shelters, Queen Chang blesses, I believe that Princess Yan will be fine, Your Highness and relieved, we will definitely be able to find Princess Yan."
After listening to the guard's words, he didn't seem to be so nervous, and his brows gradually relaxed, and then he asked, "Hmm... I hope so. Haven't you found out where the couple went? ”。
"Time spans so long, and it's happening in the middle of nowhere, it's hard to find someone in the know. However, we will not give up, are we still looking? The guards were a little helpless, but they didn't despair.
Suddenly, Mei Zhixuan's eyes raised and said, "It's."
