Chapter 176
The next day, Siyu arrived at Anjing Official Posthouse accompanied by Caidie and Xiaoma.
"Princess Shaohua."
"I heard that Princess Mulan of Tuhun has already stayed at the official inn, so I came to visit her on the orders of King Chen."
"Yes, please follow me."
The guard at the gate led Siyu and the other two to the room where Princess Mulan lived.
"Princess Mulan is inside."
"Okay, you go down first."
"Yes, I will resign, villain."
Siyu pushed the door and found it was not locked, so she pushed it open with force.
"Are you Princess Mulan?"
"It's me, who are you?" Mulan was obviously frightened by the scene, staring at the three people who suddenly appeared with horror.
"Don't worry about who we are. Let me ask you first, do you know someone named Yu Han?"
"Yu Han? I don't know him." Mulan's eyes seemed to be evasive.
"I don't know him. Well, then don't worry about his life or death. Let's go."
"Wait. How is he...how is he?"
"You don't know him, why are you asking?"
"I...I know him. He is a general of my Tuhun country and someone I like."
"That's good, just say it out loud, and don't waste so much time talking about it."
"So what happened to him?"
"He was injured and is now recovering in a safe place. You don't have to worry."
"I knew something would go wrong. I told him not to come. Now that I have agreed to come for the marriage, I can no longer dwell on the past."
"Do you still love him?"
"If you say you don't love someone, you can only fool others, but not yourself."
"Then you are willing to marry and abandon him?"
"This is no longer a matter of whether I am willing or not, but a matter of life and death for my country. As a princess, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect my people from the suffering of war and to bring them a stable and happy life."
"That's exactly how a princess should behave. Have you ever thought that things might not be as bad as you think?"
"My Tuhun Kingdom is not as powerful as your Hua Kingdom. In order to protect our lives from suffering, we can only seek peace. Although marriage is not the best way, it is the most effective. Once the marriage is successful, the two countries will become relatives by marriage, and there will be no reason to provoke a war."
"This reason is quite plausible and has been used many times in all dynasties."
"Marriage can resolve conflicts between two countries without the use of a single soldier. Most kings in history like to use this method."
"Maybe things will be different here."
"What's the difference?"
"I can help you. I can calm the war and let you be with your loved one."
"That's easier said than done."
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"
"Who are you exactly?"
"I am Princess Shaohua."
"You are Princess Shaohua. It is true that hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person."
"It's just a rumor, don't take it seriously."
"Are you really going to help us?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be here."
"Mulan would like to thank Princess Shaohua first." As he said this, he half-knelt down and bowed to Siyu.
"Princess, please get up."
"If Yu Han and I can be together without bringing disaster to the two countries, then the princess will be the great benefactor of Yu Han, me, and even the entire Tuhun Kingdom. Yu Han and I will definitely repay the princess's great kindness."
"Princess, you are too kind. I want to help you because I see that you two are deeply in love and I don't want you to be separated."
"The princess is also a person who values friendship and loyalty."
"Negotiations cannot be accomplished in a day or two. Since you are already here, just stay at the official inn and I will find a way."
"Well, now that I'm here, I won't run away. Even if I fail in the end, nothing can be worse than this."
"It's best that you think so. By the way, are you here alone? Do you have a maid or an attendant with you?"
"There is a maid who grew up with me and we are like sisters."
"Is it trustworthy?"
"She can be trusted. She is my confidant and absolutely loyal to me."
"Very good. From now on, she will be the messenger between me and the princess. Since it is inconvenient for the princess to leave the official post, she can be the one to pass on messages if there is anything."
"Yes, I understand. Princess, would you like to meet her?"
"See, I have something else to tell her."
"Princess, wait a minute. I'll go call her."
