Chapter 69: A Glimmer of Life
When Su Yuqing heard her innocent words, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Silly girl, if I don't go, I will resist the decree." What's more, the prince of Khotan also hopes to exchange my life for a promise from Emperor Wuqian. ”
Xia Luo asked strangely, "How does Miss know about the plans of the Prince of Khotan?" ”
Yueli, who had never spoken beside her, said softly: "For a big country in Wuqian, Khotan is indeed a small country, so there is nothing to be afraid of. But for other small countries in the surrounding area, Khotan's territory is small, but its military strength is extremely strong. Among the many small countries, Khotan actually relied on its own identity. Especially in the past few years, the prince of Khotan has sprung up, which has made the countries of the Western Regions even more jealous. Previously, the prince of Khotan united with the state of Shanjiu to fight the autumn grass in the Wuqian frontier several times, forcing Wuqian to retreat to a city, and the king of Khotan was ambitious to marry a princess of Wuqian as the crown princess, so that the prestige of the ancient Khotanese country was higher. But I didn't expect Emperor Wuqian to act like this, the real princess didn't ask for it, and only sent a temporary county lord, which was a slap in the face for Khotan. Khotan definitely couldn't swallow this breath, so even if the prince of Khotan didn't know what happened to Miss in the capital before, he would definitely send someone to rob and kill Miss . If Miss Wugan has an accident in the country, Khotan will definitely use this to build momentum, saying that Wugan is such a big country and fails to protect his crown princess, which is an act of ignoring Khotan, and Khotan will definitely investigate it to the end. ”
Qiu Ling and Xia Luo were dumbfounded when they heard this, they were just ordinary maids, even if they were big maids, their knowledge was limited. How can you think of political conspiracy? Hearing what Yueli said at this moment, I couldn't help but feel disheartened, in this way, wouldn't Miss have no way to live?
Su Yuqing saw that the faces of the two people were as pale as dirt, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to be too nervous, although I am in a more dangerous situation, I am not set to be a Jedi." There is still a silver lining. ”
Qiu Ling looked at Su Yuqing suspiciously, under the candlelight, her face was half-bright and half-dark, worried, only her dark eyes flashed a glimmer of hope, reflected in the candlelight, especially bright: "Miss, where is the way of life you are talking about?" ”
Su Yuqing's phoenix eyes drooped slightly, the smile under the candlelight was a little far-fetched, the candlelight was reflected in the only jade hairpin on the head, and the jade light overflowed with a bit of loneliness.
Yueli looked at Su Yuqing's appearance and knew that she didn't want to speak, so she said, "Have you forgotten that it was the prince of King Jing who escorted the young lady on this trip?" ”
When Qiu Ling heard this, she looked at Yueli hesitantly: "However, isn't the prince annoyed by Miss ......"
Before he dared to finish, Qiu Ling lowered his head.
Yueli didn't dare to say any more.
Su Yuqing smiled slightly, suppressed the hidden pain in her heart, and said indifferently: "He is just to protect himself, and he will protect me." If something happens in Wuqian's country, Emperor Wugan will definitely push him out to bear the accusations of Khotan, although it will not kill him, but from now on, he will lose the glory and prestige that a famous general should have. His only way out would also be buried by Emperor Wuqian. ”
Yueli glanced up at Su Yuqing, hesitated and lowered her head, and stopped talking.
"Do you have something to say?" Su Yuqing looked at Yueli.
Yueli looked at Su Yuqing cautiously, and after thinking about it, she said, "As far as the slave maid knows, the prince of King Jing can completely refuse this matter. ”
Su Yuqing was stunned, she naturally knew that he could refuse. It's just that Yueli isn't Xuanyuan Jinghao's person? Why do you want to say this to comfort her?
