Chapter 98 The Prince of Yi Kingdom
"General Gu, what do you want to tell me? Your granddaughter is so bold that she dares to contradict me in front of all the civil and military officials. I'm afraid you think that with a mother family like the Gu family who has worked hard and made great contributions, you can do whatever you want and despise the royal family."
Any family of a general is most afraid of being suspected of being more successful than their master.
But General Gu obviously didn't care.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I was born into a military family. I have seen my ancestors, fathers, and brothers bleed to death. Since the day I went to the battlefield, I have been prepared to be like them one day. I am willing to defend the territory of Da'an with my flesh and blood, but I never think that I have made great contributions, and I will not be complacent because of the merits left by my ancestors. However, since my granddaughter entered the palace, the bad words about her have never stopped... She is just a little girl who lost her mother when she was young and is not loved by her father. What has she done wrong? Since the Queen Mother thinks Yan'er is not worthy of marrying Prince Ling, she can just withdraw her order. Why use such a method to destroy her reputation?"
The words "She was just a little girl without a mother and not loved by her father"...successfully made Mu Qingyan blush.
She is not someone who is easily moved.
But this sentence really hits my heart.
If the original owner knew that someone was protecting her like this, she would probably die with a smile on her face, right?
Queen Mother Lan's expression changed. "Ridiculous! Could it be that I gave this portrait to the Yi Kingdom's envoy? Did I also teach the Yi Kingdom's envoy to say those unclear words between her and the Yi Kingdom's crown prince?"
General Gu was silent for a while, and then continued, "I didn't say it was the Queen Mother. I just felt it was strange."
He looked at the Fourth Prince of Yi Country and said, "I just find it strange. Since your prince has recovered and is sincerely seeking marriage, why doesn't he come in person? Why does he give the portrait to someone else? He said that he was doing it to save my granddaughter's reputation, but he said without restraint that she had physical contact with your prince while she was treating him. Doesn't the Fourth Prince know that such a sentence is enough to ruin a woman's life?"
Kang Duo knew that he had no ground to stand on, so he could only avoid the issue and say, "How can my brother, as the crown prince of a country, be sent as an envoy to another country at will? If something unexpected happens, who will be held responsible?"
General Gu snorted coldly, "That's strange. When your prince was suffering from a serious illness, he was able to enter Da'an without any worries. Now that he has recovered and is accompanied by many servants and guards, you are afraid of accidents?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Kang Duo's face changed, but even Emperor Jianning's face darkened, "Fourth Prince, are you here in Da'an to get treatment or to spy on the national situation of Da'an?"
Kang Du, who was still somewhat arrogant, could only bow again and express his respect to his elder, "Your Majesty, our Yi country has absolutely no intention of secretly spying on your country's national conditions... My brother is weak, and this is something that everyone in Yi country knows. Your Majesty will know it after checking..."
Emperor Jianning snorted coldly, "Our Da'an is a country of etiquette, but we don't have the habit of coming uninvited like your country!"
Kang Duo had no choice but to tear off the human skin mask on his face, take off his burly disguise, and reveal his true face.
He is still as tall as before, but a little thinner.
His face was delicate and pale, and he looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
He was also dressed in exotic clothes, but his appearance was many times better than the previous one.
The Queen Mother didn't expect that the person who came was actually the Crown Prince of Yi Country! She was still thinking about letting Mu Qingyan go back with the Fourth Prince, and then making a plan on the way to let them have a head and tail, so that she would be in trouble when she returned to Yi Country!
But she really didn't expect this!
After recovering his original appearance, he saluted again, and even his voice changed from rough to clear and deep, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am the Crown Prince Kang Cheng of Yi Country. I did not intend to deceive you... It's just that my country has been in turmoil recently. Your Majesty is worried that I might get hurt on the way, so I asked me to pretend to be my brother and go to Da'an as an envoy..."
"As for this portrait and the words just said... Xiao Wang was also confused for a moment and was deceived by the mysterious person because the conditions offered by the other party were really tempting... Xiao Wang does not know the woman in the portrait, and has never been to Cangzhou for medical treatment, let alone had any physical contact with anyone..."
Kang Cheng pushed the issue a little and just told everything.
He could figure out that the woman in the portrait was not on good terms with Empress Dowager Lan.
The Emperor of Da'an and Prince Ling don't like the Queen Mother either!
He told the truth, which not only cleared the suspicion that the Yi Kingdom was planting troops in Da'an to spy on military intelligence, but also intensified the conflicts within the Da'an royal family and left a good impression in front of the Da'an emperor. Why not do it?
They, the Yi State, listened to King Yong's strategy and formed an alliance with Beiqi to attack Chiling Pass together.
The Yi Kingdom did not gain any of the benefits that King Yong promised after breaking through the pass, but instead lost three cities and countless gold, silver and cloth!
How could he endure this humiliation!
The Yi State paid a heavy price for trusting King Yong. King Yong should not think of keeping himself out of it as if nothing had happened!
If you can't deal with King Yong, you can still defeat his minions!
Queen Mother Lan thought to herself that this Prince of Yi country was really a piece of shit!
Not only did he ruin her plan, but he also tried to divert the trouble to someone else! He wanted to stir up internal strife within the Da'an royal family!
Emperor Jianning was almost certain in an instant that the mysterious person mentioned by the Prince of Yi Country was the Queen Mother!
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Oh? Who is this mysterious person that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned?"
Kang Cheng shook his head. "My prince does not know her true identity, but she is just an important figure in the palace... If she were not a powerful person, I am afraid she would not be able to offer such conditions... It's a pity that my Yi country now hopes to put aside the past grudges with Da'an and be on good terms forever... We will never want to cause any other trouble..."
Everyone secretly despised him.
With regard to your ambiguous words just now, you still said that you didn't want to cause any more trouble? Didn't you feel guilty when you said that?
But after all, they were envoys from another country, and they always maintained a humble attitude. Even when two countries were at war, they did not kill envoys! Moreover, the two countries had just signed a peace treaty...
Mu Qingyan cast a grateful look towards General Gu.
In fact, in such an occasion, anyone who spoke for her would offend the Queen Mother.
But the Gu family still supported her despite the charge of being too successful and threatening the master! That was enough!
General Gu rescued Mu Qingyan and sat down again.
The look he gave the Prince of Yi Country was not so kind.
He had long heard that the Crown Prince was resourceful and good at stirring people's hearts. Today, he finally saw it for himself!
After he finished speaking, he bowed in the direction of Mu Qingyan and said, "Miss Mu, I was offended by your words. I apologize to you. I hope you will forgive me and not hold it against me..."
