Chapter 7: The Secret of Lin Qingwan's Mother
"What? Attacking Xichu, is this news true? Obviously, this fact is difficult for Lin Qingwan to accept.
"It was sent from the meticulous work that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has placed beside the realm prince for many years, and there should be no mistake."
"Lord of the Realm? Could it be that this has something to do with him? Although there is no relationship between him and Su Zhijing, after all, he has been a husband and wife for so long, Lin Qingwan's heart is naturally a little sad.
"That's right, the news also said that the main general of this expedition to the Western Chu Kingdom is the realm prince."
"How can this be, although there is no husband and wife between me and him, and there is no husband and wife relationship, but he also promised me that as long as I am no longer embarrassed by Gui Longqin, I will keep my mother country safe, how can I suddenly regret it."
"Oh, Miss, this person knows the face but doesn't know the heart, not to mention that he and you have no emotional foundation, all they want is you as a hostage, and they will naturally have no scruples when they get it." Mingyue said.
"Yes, Miss, Mingyue is not wrong this time, since they have not taken into account the friendship between the two countries and their families, then we must also think of countermeasures as soon as possible."
"Let me be quiet first, I need to think about it" was a little unbearable by this sudden news, Lin Qingwan locked herself in the room all night, thinking about her past with Su Zhijing all night, she had no feelings but never embarrassed her, and she never wanted to be short, even when the Western Chu Kingdom was in a famine, although the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom did not allow any support, she still secretly asked someone to send life-saving food and grass behind her back.
But why did he send troops to conquer his home country now, could it be that the former princess in his heart was really so important, just because he hurt her, so Su Zhijing wanted to pay the price at all costs, it turned out that in Su Zhijing's eyes, he was really just a stepping stone on his way to the throne.
The sun had just risen in the morning, and the feeling of summer heat had already surfaced, but the noisy sound of the branches still could not break the silence of the courtyard.
The two people outside Lin Qingwan's door were already as anxious as ants on a hot pot, at a loss.
"Jingxi, do you think Miss can't think about it, should we go in and have a look" Mingyue leaned on the door and listened carefully to the movement in the room.
"Do you think everyone is as fragile as you, after all, the princess is the dragon and phoenix among people, and she will naturally be much stronger than ordinary people, and there will be nothing wrong" Although he said so, Gao Jingxi couldn't help but look into the room.
At this moment, the door was slammed open, and I saw Lin Qingwan change into a light black shirt, the corners of her eyes were red, as if she had cried, but for some reason there was more perseverance in her eyes that she had never had before.
"My husband is dead, I am reborn, and from now on I will only be Lin Qingwan, the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom."
"Princess, are you okay, do you want to find a doctor to take a look," Mingyue said.
"Mingyue, Jingxi, I'm fine, accompany me to a place, maybe that person can save the Western Chu Kingdom." Lin Qingwan said lightly.
After a lot of wind and dust all the way, the three of them finally stopped in front of a temple. Looking up at the plaque in front of the door, the words "Xianyunguan" were impressive.
"How long will it take for our people to arrive," Lin Qingwan asked.
"I already sent a signal when I set off early in the morning, and it will probably be tonight at the earliest," Gao Jingxi replied.
"Okay, then let's not startle the snake, let's go to the neighborhood and rest for a while, and then act at night."
The three of them rested temporarily in an abandoned hut not far from Xianyunguan.
"Miss, how do you know about this idle cloud view," Mingyue asked puzzled.
"On the wedding night that day, Su Zhijing poisoned Gui Longqin with my hand, and left the palace on the grounds that the military aircraft had something important to deal with, I was suspicious at that time, so I followed, only to find out that he sent Gui Longqin, who faked his death, to this Xianyunguan."
"In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knows about this matter, so he will arrange Mingyue here, but I really don't understand how threatening this abandoned concubine is to Su Zhijing now." Gao Jingxi said.
"Abandoned concubine? How could she be placed in the Taoist temple where the eldest princess of Nanzhao was located? Lin Qingwan sighed softly.
"Eldest princess? Isn't that the sister of the current emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom? That is, the sister of the young lady's mother? It's not that she was executed by the emperor a long time ago because of her resistance to the decree and her relatives, how could she be here?" Mingyue asked puzzled.
"The princess who was promised to the Western Chu Kingdom back then was actually not the mother concubine, but the princess Yulian, the host of the Xianyun Temple. It's just that for some reason, Princess Yulian broke the marriage contract and disappeared from then on. The emperor of Nanzhao had no choice but to promise my mother to my father, but who knew that my father did not have a mother in his heart, he just wanted the hostage of his mother. Thinking of this, Lin Qingwan's closed eyes shed sad tears, so many years have passed, and she still can't forget the eyes of her mother who can't be closed after her death, and what makes her even more sad is that her father is afraid of damaging the majesty of the royal family, so he announced that his mother died of illness and was hastily buried, and he didn't even give a decent funeral.
"The most ruthless emperor family, I believe that Niangniang has a spirit in the sky and I don't want the princess to follow in the footsteps of Niangniang, so the princess must live well with the prince." Mingyue said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, after so many years, my brother and sister are no longer the weak children they were at the beginning."
After nightfall, a large number of dead soldiers contacted by Gao Jingxi finally arrived, and their group quietly came to Xianyunguan, carefully spread the pine branches around the Guanwaizi three times, and then poured thick pine oil.
"Mingyue, Jingxi, you stay outside the view, if we miss in the view, light this pine branch, and then leave here and go to the prince."
"What did the princess say, although I and the prince are brothers and sisters, but I have long regarded you as my sister in the past few days, since you are sisters, how can I abandon you, I want to go in with you and fight side by side."
"Just your three-legged cat kung fu and protect the princess, with me here, I think you should be optimistic about yourself." Gao Jingxi picked up the sword in his hand and stood in front of the two of them.
In this way, only a few people were left to guard outside the temple, and most of them followed Lin Qingwan to kill them.
Gui Longqin was chatting with the host in the room, and the door was suddenly kicked open by someone, Gui Longqin was startled by this amazing intrusion, and for a while he nervously knocked over the teacup in his hand.
"You're here" The host looked at Lin Qingwan in front of him calmly, without the slightest nervous look.
"Did the host expect us to come?" Lin Qingwan said.
"You and I are destined people, we will meet sooner or later, why be surprised"
"Since the host already knows my intentions, then don't embarrass me and hand them over."
"The person you want is her," the host took Gui Longqin's hand and walked to a small open space in front of the table.
"Exactly," Lin Qingwan nodded.
"Then I'm afraid I won't be able to obey my fate" Before Lin Qingwan and the others could react, the host pushed Gui Longqin into the secret passage under the empty ground with a backhand.
