Chapter 333: Protect Yourself
After listening to his rhetorical question, Emperor Duan felt that he really did not see the wrong person, so he then explained, "The Bing Kingdom and our country have been at war for many years, and now he is willing to take the initiative to make peace is tantamount to succumbing to the national prestige of our country, but it is inevitable that when the right time is met in the future, the Lord of the Bing Kingdom will no longer have the opposite intention, so what I want is not just a friendship, but the sincerity of you and the princess Bi Jiamu." ”
Duan Jingqi listened to Emperor Duan's seemingly whitewashed high-sounding words, and immediately grasped the inside of it, and he opened his mouth with a slight shock, "Does Father want me to pretend to be Ying and the princess and let her go back to stabilize the Ice Kingdom?" Isn't this a blatant deception? What does the father want to do after stabilizing the ice? ”
"Presumptuous!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Duan Jingyi hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of Emperor Duan, facing Duan Jingqi and yelling loudly, "Jingqi, don't be presumptuous, how can you and I find out about my father's state affairs!" Duan Jingyi gave Duan Jingqi a look as he spoke, and the latter realized that he had made a mistake and said something covetous and suspicious, so he hurriedly raised his hand and saluted, but the look on his face was unconvinced.
"My father atoned for my sins, and my son didn't have the heart to ask, but you also know that I and the princess have never been masked, even if I treat her sincerely, she may not be able to be moved by me, the nomadic nature of the son and son are really not sure, and please ask my father to choose someone else."
Emperor Duan looked at his son who was standing firmly under His Royal Highness, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes, "Jingqi, do you know what you just gave up?" ”
"Erchen doesn't know, it's just that my father wants Erchen to fall in love with a strange woman in an instant, and Erchen really can't do it, and he asks himself if his acting skills are not high, and he will inevitably be seen as flawed, so he took the initiative to resign for fear of destroying his father's plan."
"Okay!" Emperor Duan slapped the handrail beside him fiercely, so frightened that Su Mao hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to play a round, he didn't expect Duan Jingqi to be such a unwilling attitude in this matter, lest Emperor Duan really slam Duan Jingqi in anger.
Duan Jingyi also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and explained, "Father, Jing Qi can have such thoughts to prove that he is already sharing your worries, just like the ministers just promised you, they will definitely do their best to help Jing Qi win the sincerity of Princess Bingqi." ”
"Brother, why are you!" Duan Jingqi was only halfway through his words and was forced back by Duan Jingyi's gaze, he was naturally full of unwillingness, and stood directly on the main hall with negative anger, Duan Jingyi didn't want to see things become such a scene, but now after all, it is Emperor Duan's world, what can he do if he is unwilling, I think there is no other way when Duan Jingyi accepted the marriage.
It's just that the situation that Duan Jingqi is facing now is a little more complicated, Duan Jingyi didn't have a person who was in love with each other back then, so even if Tang Meng entered the mansion, he didn't have much turmoil in his heart, but Duan Jingqi was different, he already had a place in his heart, and with his current state of mind, when he looked at the princess of Bing Qi Kingdom, he naturally felt that it was really fate.
In addition, Duan Jingyi only needed to marry Tang Meng back then, and no one cared whether the two were in love with each other, so no one knew too many things about Tang Meng when he was neglected for so many years, but Duan Jingqi was under the surveillance of Emperor Duan, and what Emperor Duan said was to teach Duan Jingqi to use Princess Jiamu's sincerity again.
When she really loves Duan Jingqi until she is willing to give her life for him, the lord of the Bing Kingdom will naturally look at the face of her favorite daughter and dare not rashly send troops to destroy her daughter's happiness, and at that time, the emperor will occupy the initiative, and even use Bi Jiamu to take the initiative, how could the two of them not understand such a naked and bloody emperor's mental technique.
It's just that Duan Jingqi didn't expect that Emperor Duan would unreservedly tell him all his thoughts, and it is better to let Duan Jingqi be a confused chess piece than to be a clear helper.
Emperor Duan looked at Duan Jingqi, who was standing under His Highness and refused to bow his head, and knew that this was not a solution, he looked at him coldly and calmly for a while, then let out a long sigh, waved his hand and said, "Jingyi, you go out first, I have something to say to Jingqi alone." ”
Duan Jingyi immediately saluted and retreated, and when he passed by Duan Jingqi's side, he seemed to have the same figure, but in fact, he whispered four words, "protect yourself", and then walked out of the hall.
At this time, there were only two fathers and sons left in the hall, Emperor Duan and Duan Jingqi, and Su Mao lowered his head quietly on the side when he saw this, trying to minimize his sense of existence.
Emperor Duan was the first to speak, "You must think it's cold and cruel, right?" ”
Duan Jingqi didn't say anything, but his eyes answered everything, Duan Di sighed again and then slowly rolled up his left sleeve until a long scar on his wrist was revealed, he raised it and showed it to Duan Jingqi while the light was shining, "Do you know where this scar came from?" ”
Duan Jingqi was stunned, he never knew that Emperor Duan, who had always decided the life and death of others, would have such a shocking scar on his body, he frowned slightly and thought for a while, "But what did my father leave when he led the troops to the battle?" ”
Emperor Duan shook his head, and slowly put his sleeves back, his voice and Shen seemed to open a dusty old thing, "This scar was left when I was still the prince, and it was your imperial uncle and my own brother who stabbed me. ”
Duan Jingqi's eyes widened in shock, there have been many murders due to the struggle for the throne since ancient times, but in Duan Jingqi's opinion, this kind of thing existed in the previous story, but few people mentioned about Emperor Duan's brothers and siblings, Duan Jingqi was born and grew up in the palace and never saw himself and other imperial uncles, so this incident was shocking enough for him.
Emperor Duan had already guessed that he would be in such an unbelievable appearance, so he slowly spoke, "You must have thought that your father was using the princess of the Ice Empire, but have you thought about it, why did the Ice Empire suddenly take the initiative to change the way you get along with us after so many years?" Was it just the last time I helped them? The intersection of two countries has always been an open gun and a hidden arrow, nothing will be as simple as you seem on the surface, not to mention that even biological siblings can be so ruthless, how can two hostile countries trust each other to be friendly for generations? ”
Emperor Duan slowly walked down the dragon chair, and at this moment he actually showed a little old state, Duan Jingqi was a little hesitant but still endured and didn't step forward to support him.
Emperor Duan didn't care, and let Su Mao walk up to Duan Jingqi with his support and look him straight at him, "I know that your refusal to get married must be a matter of heart, you can take all the women you like as concubines, but the position of the princess can only be arranged by me." ”
Duan Jingqi was no longer as excited as Fang Cai, but instead had an indescribable sadness, "Then all the princes of the past dynasties can't decide who they want to marry?" ”
