After three months. The capital of the Yan king is Jingzhou.

The journey that was originally coming in January slowed down due to Nie Xingji's injury, and he walked for three months. When the group arrived in the royal capital of Jingzhou, it was nearly August 15.

Yanwang Palace is luxurious, the jade pearl curtain marigold is not extinguished, the majestic splendid stands on the top of Jingzhou, and the world is vast and red and dusty.

In the Longqian Palace, King Yan looked at Nie Xingji's slightly pale handsome face, and said with concern: "You delayed coming back for so long, I heard that you were assassinated?" ”

"It's no big deal, Father Xie cares." Nie Xingji coughed lightly and replied.

He was indeed fine, Qingcheng's head was still a little off, although the wound was deep, it did not hit the vital point, allowing him to escape. The black-clothed assassin was not found as he expected, but he had some speculation in his heart, so he did not make a big noise, and randomly captured a death row prisoner as a substitute for the dead ghost.

But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and his appearance in Qingcheng's house that night, and the guards avoided him, which already aroused suspicion.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, he single-handedly manipulated the battle of Yan and Chu, and then killed Prince Li of Chu, the titular husband of Princess Qingcheng, in front of the battle. Therefore, she has good reasons and motives to kill him and avenge her husband.

Therefore, for her sake, he chose to avoid her along the way. He and her have a long future.

Nie Xingji was thinking distractedly, when he suddenly heard someone call him: "Second brother, are you injured?" ”

The person who interrogated was Nie Xingyi, the eldest son of Yan Wangyan and the crown prince of the dynasty, and his eldest half-brother. Nie Xingji came back to his senses and responded: "Thank you Brother Wang for your concern, the younger brother did not hurt the vital point." ”

"Who did it, have you found out?" The prince pretended to be concerned.

Nie Xingji pondered for a moment: "It's the remnants of Chu Land, and they have been ambushed on the spot." ”

Yes, now that the state of Chu has died, Quzhou has been owned by the state of Yan, and when it comes to the state of Chu, it can only be called "Chu land". Nie Xingji captured the state of Chu with such a strong method, and there must be many old Chu subjects who are resentful, and it is reasonable for them to miss their homeland and take the opportunity to assassinate and vent their anger.

Speaking of the destruction of Chu, the father and son all had to think of one person - Qingcheng. And this is also the reason why King Yan privately summoned his two sons today.

"Three and a half years ago, when Ji'er returned to Qingcheng from Fangzhou, Gu thought she was Gu's daughter...... Now that you know that it was a mistake back then, and she has fallen into such an embarrassing situation, you two also think about it, how should Lone be placed? ”

Hearing this, the crown prince and Nie Xingji were silent. At the beginning, thinking of Qingcheng as the crown princess in the Chu State, King Yan's plan to destroy Chu has not been implemented; Later, it was precisely because he knew that Qingcheng was not a royal bloodline that King Yan decided to start a war against the Chu State and attacked it unprepared.

Although Qingcheng is the fake princess of Yan State, she is the real crown princess of Chu State. Now that the state of Chu has fallen and the prince of Chu has died, how should she be placed? It's really tricky.

King Yan saw that the two sons had been silent, and deliberately reminded: "Speaking of which, this is also a royal scandal, and not many people know about it. ”

The meaning of King Yan's words was obvious, he wanted to hide this matter for a long time. There can be one more new widowed real princess in the palace, but there can be no less false princess who is mistaken for it.

The crown prince and Nie Xingji naturally understood what King Yan meant. However, a princess who returned to her homeland after getting married is really embarrassed in this palace, especially a fake princess who can't reveal her identity. Qingcheng not only will not get the respect of the palace people, but also the pity and love of King Yan. In the future, she will live in gossip for the rest of her life, enduring the discussion and ridicule of others.

How cruel is this to the innocent Qingcheng?

"It's better to let the royal sister of Qingcheng remarry!" The prince suddenly proposed.
