Chapter 60: The Choice of a Concubine by the Crown Prince of Gao Advocate (Part 2, Chapter 13)

Yang House.

Yang Cheng said to Qiu Yue: "Qiu Yue, I'm sorry, I want to go to Lan Zhao Kingdom first to relieve the siege of Princess Yongjing." Will you wait for me to come back? ”

Qiu Yue said: "Yang Cheng, Princess Yongjing has always been in love with you. If...... If you choose her, I respect your decision. ”

Yang Cheng said: "What about you? ”

Qiu Yue: "Yang Cheng, knowing that you are still alive, I am content, no matter what decision you make, I respect you." ”

Yang Cheng: "I have no love for her, but I owe her." If she wants me to stay in Lan Zhaoguo, I am willing to stay. ”

Qiu Yue said: "Well, then you can go!" ”

Yang Cheng: "So, you don't have to wait for me, I am too important to her." Let me make this decision for you! I can see you when I come back, and you promise to marry me, and I am enough. ”

Qiu Yue said: "What to say! We grew up together, and I know that you are a gentleman. Princess Yongjing, she is also very good. ”

Yang Cheng: "Qiuyue, I am not worthy of the righteous gentleman you said." I know that you are in love with Zhang Shuo now. He did do something wrong, I have forgiven him, and I hope you can understand your heart. Don't let down the years. ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly said: "I'm over with him." ”

Yang Cheng said with a smile: "Qiuyue, I know that you loved me before and wanted to marry me. When I came back, I realized that everything had changed, and that I was too greedy to think I could do it all over again. I used to say that you were ready, and your heart was full of anticipation. Now that you're getting married, you're not looking forward to it at all, you're not very happy, I can see it. ”

After a pause, he said, "When I came back, I saw you and Zhang Shuo preparing for the wedding, and your face was full of happy smiles. It's rare to see you laugh now.

I wanted to make a last-ditch effort that day, I wanted to kiss you, but you refused. I thought, I should quit. It's just that another series of events has occurred that has caused this matter to be delayed.

Now, I'm going to put an end to this! We are still good partners, good matches, and good comrades-in-arms. But not fiancΓ©s anymore. I bless you. ”

Qiu Yue said, "Yang Cheng, thank you. ”

Yang Cheng: "Qiuyue, I'll be your brother, okay?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Of course, in my heart, you have always been my closest person, and I have long regarded you as a brother." ”

Yang Cheng: "Then let's worship it!" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Yes! That's right. Qiu Yue felt relieved.

Yang Cheng thought in his heart: If you can't worship the church, just worship the handle! Always leave a little relationship in your heart, and there will always be a trace of fetters in your life.

Yang Cheng hurried slowly, and finally arrived at Lan Zhaoguo six days later.

When he saw Princess Yongjing, everyone was frightened. Where is this where there is still the high-spirited, delicate and bright female general posture before, her whole person is very dull, she has lost a lot of weight, her eyes are red, and she is a little swollen, and her face has no heroic demeanor in the past. When he saw Yang Cheng, his face was full of shock, and then he was surprised.

I finally saw a smile on his face, and this smile fell directly on Yang Cheng's heart, tearing at Yang Cheng's heart, making his heart hurt densely.

Princess Yongjing ran over, hugged Yang Cheng tightly, and asked, "Why are you here, do you know that I'm waiting for you?" You're here, what about Qiuyue? ”

Yang Cheng replied: "It was your maid who came to the capital to find me, saying that something happened to you, and I came over because of the matter of the Tianshan Snow Lotus." You have saved my life, and if you are in trouble, I can ignore it. ”

Princess Yongjing let go of Yang Cheng and said embarrassedly, "I didn't know she was looking for you." It's not a big deal, it's just that the prince of Gao Zhaoguo insists on marrying, and I am still in the peace talks, I am already married, and the messenger said that in a few days, the dowry of the prince of Gao Zhaoguo will be sent. I don't want to marry Gao Zhengguo, maybe he just wants to get more benefits, and our Lan Zhaoguo allows him to be. ”

Yang Cheng asked puzzledly: "Then why are you crying, you have been bald a lot lately?" I'm so sorry for you for making you suffer so much. Why didn't you tell me that before? Plainly mentioned these scoldings himself. ”

Princess Yongjing said: "The amount claimed by the crown prince of Gao Zhengguo will definitely be huge, and I feel sorry for the money!" Our income is not very rich, and if we pay compensation, the army's expenditure will have to be cut even more. I am sad that the dream of a strong army has been shattered. Don't think too much, just pay more. ”

Yang Cheng said: "Then I'll stay, the prince of Gao Zhengguo said that he couldn't see your husband, so I came, which made him have nothing to say." As for the compensation, it has already been paid, so why pay again? ”

Princess Yongjing said: "Between countries, interests are exchanged, and weak countries are often very passive and have no right to speak. A strong country refers to a deer as a horse, and we have no choice but to lower the conditions. ”

Yang Cheng didn't understand this, because in the imperial capital, he had never heard of the previous transactions between countries, as well as the principle of turning over old accounts after compensation.

This time, Pei Shengyuan handed over the imperial capital token to him, and when necessary, he could use the token to mediate with the crown prince of Gao Zhengguo.

Yang Cheng said to Princess Yongjing: "This time, the emperor gave me the imperial capital token, and seconded dozens of forbidden troops, if he insists on doing so, I will use the imperial capital token to negotiate with him on behalf of the imperial capital." ”

Princess Yongjing said gratefully: "Yang Cheng, thank you!" ”

Yang Cheng said to her sincerely: "Princess Yongjing, you and I have the grace to save my life, for you, as long as I can do it, I will not give up, I am serious." ”

Princess Yongjing asked, "Is it just to repay the grace of saving lives?" ”

Yang Cheng replied: "Princess Yongjing's kindness cannot be repaid in the future, if the princess has an order, she will never give up." ”

Princess Yongjing asked, "Yang Cheng, you're back, did Qiu Yue say anything?" ”

Yang Cheng replied in disappointment: "I dissolved my marriage with her, and I worshipped her as a brother and sister." ”

Princess Yongjing was surprised, but she was secretly surprised in her heart. What was the situation, she withdrew, how did they turn into brothers and sisters, and hurriedly asked, "Is it because of me?" I didn't mean to disturb you, I didn't know my handmaiden was looking for you......"

Yang Cheng hurriedly explained: "Princess Yongjing, this has nothing to do with you. It's just that she doesn't love me anymore, and she loves Zhang Shuo even more now. After being together for so long, I can see that Qiuyue is just accommodating me, not because she loves me and wants to marry me.

In this way, I have all of her, and what I hope for most is that she will be happy. ”

Yongjing's dead heart has revived, so she still has hope. As long as she works harder, maybe, she can impress him! There was hope in my heart, and the whole person became bright.

She couldn't help but be happy and said: "Then you can stay in Lanzhao for a while longer, I can learn martial arts with you, I know that you are strong in martial arts, you can teach me more." ”

Yang Cheng said: "No, no, when the matter of the crown prince is resolved, I will leave for the capital." I have the Emperor's token in my possession, and I cannot stay for long. "It's also because Yang Mubai is missing, he still has a bunch of things to deal with, but he doesn't want to tell Princess Yongjing about these things. Because it's a secret in the palace, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Princess Yongjing couldn't hide the loss in her heart, and then said, "Then I'll follow you to the capital again?" Last time I wanted to visit General Zhang Shan, I didn't see it, but this time I have to stay longer, and I must meet General Zhang Shan. ”

Yang Cheng said: "General Zhang Shan is not in the capital recently, when he returns to Beijing, I will write a letter to you to the capital, do you think this is okay?" ”

Princess Yongjing said, "Yes, Yang Cheng, thank you." ”

Yang Cheng's return made Lan Zhaoguo's dissenting ministers instantly quiet. Before Yang Cheng's return, there was a faction that advocated that the Principality of Yongjing should marry the crown prince of Gao Zhengguo. Because Gao advocated that the country is a strong country, if the Lanzhao country is stormed, then the Lanzhao country will be destroyed. And the dowry gifts of the crown prince of Gao Zhiguo have been sent one after another, and such a rich dowry is enough to see that he has a deep affection for the princess. I don't dislike Princess Yongjing for getting married, where can I find such a husband, I can also marry Gao Zhengguo, and I will have the confidence to not be oppressed by other countries in the future.

The other faction, while advocating discord, settled the matter with compensation.

Now, he can only claim all the compensation, ask for the forgiveness of the crown prince of Gao Zhaoguo, and no longer embarrass Lan Zhaoguo.

On the second day, he went to court.

Prince Gao Zhengguo didn't expect Yang Cheng to come over, so he asked, "Is this Yang Cheng, the Central Plains husband of Princess Yongjing?" ”

Yang Cheng replied: "Prince Gao, it is Princess Yongjing's husband below, Yang Cheng. Some time ago, I was delayed for a few days in dealing with some affairs in the imperial capital, but I never thought that it would be ridiculous to let the rumors of my abandonment of the princess in Lan Zhao give birth to in the country. It was also misunderstood by Prince Gao, which really shouldn't be. I didn't hear the rumors, so I rushed back to make Princess Yongjing feel at ease. ”

When the crown prince Gao Zhiguo heard this, he asked: "How do you prove that you are Yang Cheng?" ”

Yang Cheng immediately took out Pei Shengyuan's token and said, "This time, the emperor of the imperial capital gave the token to promote the friendship between the imperial capital and Lanzhao. Prince Gao, Princess Yongjing is my wife, and please don't take away your love. Behind the lower body represents the imperial capital. ”

When Princess Yongjing heard Yang Cheng say that she was his wife, her eyes were full of love when she looked at Yang Cheng. Even if she knew that the situation was compelling, what Yang Cheng had to say was as sweet as honey in her heart.

When the ministers heard Yang Cheng say this, knowing that Yang Cheng's identity was not simple, and he could get the emperor token of the imperial capital, which was enough to show that his status was noble. The ministers echoed one after another: "Yes, the shaman said at the beginning that Yang Cheng Gongzi is a good match for our princess, and it is a match made in heaven. Please also ask Prince Gao not to take people's love. ”

With the support of the imperial capital, these ministers also had the confidence to say: "Yes, Gao Zhiguo will not be so unreasonable, it will be difficult to be strong, right?" ”

"That's right, our Princess Yongjing has married the prince of Yang Cheng in the imperial capital, and we must not marry anyone else."

The crown prince of Gao Zhengguo said: "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, since Princess Yongjing is married." The prince was not reluctant, but the dowry was brought over, and you told me that you couldn't marry anyone. How does this make Prince Ben return to the country with dignity? ”

The lord of Lan Zhao said: "Otherwise, Prince Gao will choose the daughter of a minister of appropriate age in our country, and we will definitely give a rich dowry." I also consider it a righteous daughter, and I am also the princess of Lan Zhaoguo. ”

When the crown prince of Gao Zhaoguo heard this, he said: "It's okay, then there is a day for the lord of Laulan Zhao to choose a day, so that the prince can choose a concubine here." ”

When the ministers heard this, although they hated it in their hearts, they were helpless. Who made Gao Zhaoguo's military strong, and the imperial capital only came to protect Princess Yongjing, although the request made by the crown prince of Gao Zhaoguo is unreasonable, but the dowry has been delivered, and it is indeed unreasonable for the prince of a country to go back empty-handed.

The lord of Lan Zhao said: "When the Aiqing went back, they presented the birthday of their school-age daughter, as well as the portrait. After the shaman divides the hexagram, they will go to the Dongfeng Hall together to let the crown prince of Gao Zhaoguo choose a concubine. ”

When the crown prince Gao Zhiguo heard this, he said with satisfaction: "This is very good, as for the marriage period, it needs to be extended, and it will be too late this month." After the crown prince chooses the crown princess, he will return to the country first, and then get married after our high advocate priest chooses an auspicious day. ”

Yang Cheng had no other choice but to live in Lan Zhaoguo first.

Imperial capital, Fengyi Palace.

Wu Xiaolan fidgeted in the dormitory, today was the day when they sent the antidote, and it was getting late and late, but I still didn't see anyone sending it. She began to panic.

When Pei Sheng came from afar, he picked her up, like holding Yang Mubai, with a smile on his face, but said to her coldly: "You calm down, don't let others see the flaws." When we see who sent the antidote, we must tell me in time. ”

Wu Xiaolan had to slowly calm down, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter is still very nervous. ”

Pei Shengyuan threatened: "Don't you want to live?" ”

At dinner, the palace people set up the meal and went down, as usual.

After dinner, the palace people cleaned up the dining table, and under the table plates, they saw a packet of medicine. Wu Xiaolan picked it up in time and hid it in her cuffs.

Pei Shengyuan called Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue and asked them to interrogate the palace people who delivered dinner and cleaned up the table today, but found nothing.

Pei Shengyuan was about to go crazy in his heart, time passed day by day, and it was almost half a month, and he couldn't find a clue. The danger faced by Yang Mubai is also becoming more and more serious. The chances of finding her back are getting slimmer and slimmer. Who the hell could take her away and hide her in such a tight defense. This reminded him of Yang Xiangguo before, but it was obviously not what he did. Could it be that Yang Mubai ran away by himself, it is impossible, they have eliminated the estrangement.

Think about it calmly, if Yang Mubai is taken hostage, he must be in a place where he can't get out easily, or in a very distant place. But who is going to take her captive, and for what purpose?

This reminded him of the Trap Sect, in fact, Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue have also been checking the Trap Sect recently, but they have not gained anything.

At night, Pei Shengyuan dreamed of Yang Mubai again, and in the first half of his dream, he still dreamed of his daily life with Yang Mubai, those laughter, and those lingering days.

Immediately afterwards, he dreamed that Yang Mubai said to him: "Pei Shengyuan, save me, Pei Shengyuan, save me......" and then disappeared.

Pei Shengyuan reached out to grab it, but couldn't catch anything.

After he woke up, he was even more sure that Yang Mubai must be in a secret place, trapped, and he wanted to save it, but he didn't know where.

It devastated him, and every time she left, intentionally or not, he couldn't find her. For the first time, he had doubts about his own strength, and the entire imperial capital, where else could he not control.

What he can't control, what is distant.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly summoned Qiu Yue and Zhang Shuo.

He said to them, "Mumu should be locked up in a distant place that is not under our control. Checking the secret organization at the border gate, Mu Mu is estimated to be locked inside. ”

Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang hurriedly took the order to secretly investigate. Qiu Yue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask about this matter, do you want to tell Yang Xiangguo?" ”

Pei Shengyuan replied: "You go and do it!" Now that they are missing, please don't worry too much, I will try my best to find Mu Mu. ”

Qiu Yue also received the order and went down.

They walked out of the palace gate and saw Akso waiting for Zhang Shuo outside. When he saw Zhang Shuo, he immediately ran over happily and said excitedly: "Lord Zhang, I have been to your house many times, but I haven't seen you. Where have you been? ”

Zhang Shuo really didn't have time to deal with her, so he said, "I've been busy lately, please don't disturb me." ”

Akso asked: "Then when can you be busy, didn't you say last time that you were on vacation and you want to go out to play?" ”

Qiu Yue glanced at Zhang Shuo and didn't speak, but Zhang Shuo didn't notice this, he just wanted to send Axol as soon as possible, so he said: "Now that there is something to do, I can't take leave, you go back first." I'm really busy. ”

Akso said happily: "Then when you are done, I will go to you." When you take leave, I will take you to a good place, and you have to listen to me. ”

Zhang Shuo was really afraid of this girl, pestering him all day long, and now he was so busy with business that he really didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, good, okay, you go first!" Don't come to me during this time. I'll wait until I can take a leave of absence, okay? ”

Aksol pulled Zhang Shuo, kissed him on the cheek, ran happily, turned around and said, "I'll wait for you!" ”

Zhang Shuo: "......" just wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw that Xu Lang and Qiuyue were still there, he didn't say anything, just treated this crazy girl as fooling around.

Qiu Yue was very angry and wanted to get angry, but there was nowhere to get angry, so she said sourly: "Lord Zhang is so blessed to be favored by such a beautiful and rich girl." ”

Zhang Shuo said: "I'm so busy now, how can I take care of her." Akor just likes to fool around, don't take it seriously. ”

Xu Lang said: "She's really good, and she's quite a match for you, I said, or you'll get from her!" It's rare to be so infatuated with you, what are you hesitating about? ”

Zhang Shuo said angrily: "You are a pair, so I persuade others to get married too, I tell you, I am not such a casual person." ”

Qiu Yue sarcastically said, "Who do you say is casual?" You're kissing on the street, and you're talking about casual people, and you're really thick-skinned. ”

Zhang Shuo knew that he was wrong, and Qiu Yue thought that he said that she was casual! was silenced, and at this time, the more he said, the more wrong he became, and he simply remained silent.

This made Qiu Yue even more angry, could it be that she acquiesced, she was a casual person, and immediately asked: "Zhang Shuo, let me ask you, what do you mean by what you just said?" Who do you say casually? ”

Zhang Shuo had no choice but to explain: "Qiuyue, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. I mean, Akso and I are just friends. If you don't have anything to do with other people, don't be angry, okay? ”

Qiu Yue sneered: "Why should I be angry, are you worthy of my anger for you?" ”

Zhang Shuo: "......"

Zhang Shuo paused for a while and said, "It's my fault, it's my fault." I'm thinking about the queen's mother now, and I haven't thought about anything else, so please forgive me. ”

Qiu Yue heard him say this, snorted, and walked away angrily.

Xu Lang also looked ignorant, what was the situation between the two of them.
