Chapter 470: Thorn (2)
A look of surprise appeared between carefree and slightly frowned.
"What did you say?"
Wu Mingshi said in a low tone: "Your Highness is trapped in this mansion, only for a while. But His Highness can't do without support behind him. β
General Chu's residence is not far from here, if you can. His Royal Highness should have contacted General Chu as soon as possible to avoid accidents.
Worry-free shook his head again and again.
No, if my uncle had known she was here, he would have come. She couldn't put him at risk!
Seeing her shaking his head, Wu Mingshi couldn't help but say in an accentuated tone: "Your Highness, General Chu must remember Your Highness very much." β
Carefree nodded with tears: "Uncle must remember me in his heart, just as he remembers him in my heart." However, now I am married to the Khan...... In what capacity should I meet him? My uncle was ordered to resist the enemy, and now, I am the enemy! β
No matter how stupid and naΓ―ve she is, she understands the powerful relationship between this.
Wu Mingshi still looked serious: "Your Highness, General Chu is famous outside the Saiwai, and even the Great Khan can't help but be in awe." His Highness and the Great General are close relatives whose blood is thicker than water. The relationship between His Royal Highness and the Great General is clear to the Great Khan! So, this is a great opportunity for Your Highness! β
He is a counselor, and everything he says and does is for the sake of the cause.
Sanssouci gradually sensed something in his words.
"What the hell do you mean?"
Wu Mingshi's eyes flashed slightly, and he only said: "Your Highness is a smart person, so Weichen will no longer sell Guanzi." β
"If His Highness can exchange news with the general, then His Highness has the most reliable backing behind him. Attacking and retreating is really a two-way strategy. β
Worry-free didn't seem to understand, and said in an accentuated tone: "You better explain everything you say." β
Hearing this, Wu Mingshi turned around and looked outside the tent, as if he was worried that the wall had ears.
Mingzhu will have eyes, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated to the tent door, "The slave and maid will go out and guard, and no one else will be allowed to approach." β
Wu Mingshi was a little relieved: "Your Highness, what the minister is going to say next, you have to listen carefully." β
Carefree looked at his face and waited silently.
"General Chu is the only feared opponent of the Sixteen Turkic Divisions. General Chu has guarded the border for many years and is good at using troops, and he can contain the Turks for many years on his own, which is something that no one in the DPRK and China can do. The minister is a strategist, and the important things in the sixteen parts can't be hidden from the minister's eyes and ears! Therefore, the "advance can be attacked" said by the minister means that as long as the minister can get in touch with General Chu, they can trust each other. We can join forces with the inside and outside, attack them unprepared, and wipe out all the Turkic elite soldiers in one fell swoop! β
Worry-free chuckled in her heart when she heard this, and she wondered if her ears had heard it wrong.
Wu Mingshi looked at the change in the expression on her face, and said in a low tone: "Your Highness, the Turkic elite soldiers are strong, with 100,000 elite soldiers, and countless iron horses. If the Great Khan really wants to fight and the sailors go north, then the imperial court will have no power to deal with it. Your Highness, have you ever imagined how many people would die in that case? β
Carefree was shocked, and of course she knew how serious the consequences were.
It's just that if she unites to attack the Turks, then what should the Great Khan do?
Worry-free's whole body stiffened, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Wu Mingshi continued: "If the Great Khan seizes the opportunity and perceives something abnormal. Then, His Highness can also make a contribution on the grounds of convincing the general! If His Highness can personally solve the greatest trouble of the Great Khan for the Great Khan, His Highness will be equivalent to standing firm. This is the ...... of retreat."
Worry-free listened to it really well, reacted a little, and then became afraid.
He has said so much, but there are only two ways.
She will either be a traitor, betray the Great Khan, and become the Northern Yan.
Either she will be a bastard, betray her uncle, and fulfill the Turks.
In this way, it is possible to attack and retreat.
After a long silence, Wu Wu couldn't help but laugh angrily: "This is your method, this is your idea." β
Seeing that she was mocking, Wu Mingshi just lowered his head and said: "Now is an extraordinary period, so I can only grieve His Highness, knowing that I can't do it." β
"Northern Yan and Turkic, Your Highness can only choose one or the other."
Wu Wu shook his head vigorously: "I don't choose, Northern Yan and Turks should not be enemies for generations!" It's wrong......"
Wu Mingshi cut off her words: "Your Highness, there is never a right or wrong struggle for power, only a difference between winning and losing. If you don't have a choice, you'll end up losing both, and no one will be able to save you. β
"Your Highness, the minister does not want His Highness to be a shameless villain, but to let His Highness be a smart person."
Worry-free still shook his head: "You make me treacherous, this is called smart?" Even with the current crisis, I can't betray the people around me. One is my husband, the other is my relative, I can't ......"
Wu Mingshi had expected her to be like this, but it was too early to make a decision now.
She still needs time, slowly digesting, slowly changing her mind.
"Your Highness, the minister's words, although not listened to, are the most useful method at the moment. Affection is important, but it can't be more important than thousands of lives! β
Worry-free heard this, and his heart sank.
"It's not always wrong to make a choice. Her Royal Highness has always respected the queen the most. The palace lady has worked hard in the palace for so many years, and in the end, for the sake of the overall situation, she still let Her Royal Highness the princess resolutely marry, is this choice wrong? β
Wu Mingshi grasped the measure in his heart, and when he reached the point, he bowed and retreated.
The moment he walked out of the big tent, he felt that the big stone hanging in his heart had finally fallen.
In the past, he only kept this full of calculations in his heart, and he couldn't reveal half a sentence to others. Now, he finally said the words that had been stuffed in his heart for many years.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, although she is soft-hearted, she is a smart person after all.
She'll make a choice.
β¦β¦
On the third day after falling into the water, Shen Danfang was beside the queen mother and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.
She has now become the maid of this Cining Palace, although she is dressed in a new way, she is still a slave.
Shen Dan plays the piano for the queen every day, and his words and deeds are all cautious.
She didn't know why the queen mother would keep herself, and how would she settle herself?
With this excitement and apprehension, Shen Dan met His Royal Highness the Prince.
Changsheng knew that the queen mother had kept her.
It's just that he didn't expect that the queen mother would actually dress her up like a sister...... Her clothes, her headdress......
Changsheng frowned slightly.
Shen Dan saw him staring at him, his heart was happy, and he stroked the piano with ten fingers, only hoping that the sound of the piano this time would leave him behind.
Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at her son, and when she saw that he was unhappy, she knew that he saw it.
Changsheng came to greet his mother, he wanted to say a few words and leave, but because of Shen Dan, he had to stay.
"Mother, do you really want to leave her behind?"
In front of Shen Dan, he asked questions directly.
Meng Xilan smiled: "Didn't you hand her over to this palace to dispose of?" β
Changsheng lowered his eyes and said, "Erchen wants the queen mother to dispose of her, not to place her. β
As soon as these words came out, Shen Dan was flustered, and his hands did not listen to the call, and he played the wrong note all of a sudden.
This mistake is punishment.
Shen Dan raised his head in a panic, and when he saw that his master's eyes were over, he couldn't help but stand up and kowtow to His Royal Highness to ask for guilt.
"Slaves should be damned!"
Meng Xilan glanced at her son and said with a faint smile: "Look, you scared her." After saying that, he waved her hand and motioned for her to go down first.
Shen Dan hesitated, but he didn't dare not listen.
The conversation between their mother and son will determine her fate, how can she not be afraid?
After she left, Changsheng Fang said what he wanted to say most.
"Queen Mother, why do you dress her up like a sister? She's not a sister, and she doesn't deserve to be a sister. β
Meng Xilan looked at him and said, "Of course I know that she is not worthy. It's just that in order to please you, she is willing to be the shadow of this four dislikes, and this palace doesn't want to embarrass her. β
Pleasing me? Changsheng smiled coldly: "If she does this, it will only make Erchen hate her even more." β
Meng Xilan pondered for a moment before saying, "You have to be careful when you hate it." She went back and forth like this, but it was not in vain, don't you think you remember her? β
I also care about hate. There are so many women in the palace, but he can remember her, which can be regarded as one of her skills.
"Queen Mother!" Changsheng's face darkened when he heard this, and he changed his serious tone and said, "Please don't be embarrassed for your son, and don't add people to your son's side." Erchen is not used to it, and he does not like it. β
He paused slightly, and then said, "Moreover, you know the queen mother, and Erchen has never forgotten his sister in his heart. Not now, not in the future. β
Meng Xilan's expression was calm when she heard this, and she said in a light tone: "You can't let go of her, but you can't just remember her and can't tolerate others." β
"You will get married sooner or later, and when the time comes, you will still remember to be carefree, and it doesn't matter. But if you can't like other women again, then it will be a crisis for the court. β
Changsheng was stunned, and when he saw that his mother was so open and honest, he no longer defended himself.
"Erchen knows the importance of getting married. The sons will not be willful, and the sons will listen to the arrangements of the queen mother. When the time comes, whoever the queen mother asks her sons to marry, the sons will marry whomever they want, and there is no other thing to say. β
This is already the last concession he can do.
After Changsheng said this, he got up and left, with his own stubbornness and troubles.
Meng Xilan shook her head with a sigh: "His temper is the same as that of this palace back then, the same stubbornness." β
Hearing this, Zhulu stepped forward and said with relief: "Niangniang, the prince is your child, and his temper is naturally similar to yours. You are worried that the crown prince is only fifteen years old and knows very little about the relationship between his children. When His Highness really grows up and matures, His Highness will slowly know. There are too many unsatisfactory things in life to count, and it is not easy to find a confidant in your lifetime. β
Meng Xilan looked at her and asked lightly, "You're right." But Zhulu, this deep palace is heavy, there are many conspiracies and calculations, but the sincerity is pitiful. You say, where is this palace going to find him a confidant? β
