Pei Yuanjun said with a half-smile: "What if the emperor knows about this matter? What if he doesn't know? Peace talks between the two countries are a big deal."
Since it is a big deal, something that happened more than 30 years ago is no longer a big deal. Even if the emperor knew that Qiya was the descendant of the former King of Qin, he couldn't really do anything.
The peace talks between the two countries are a big deal.
Qu Moying immediately understood what Pei Yuanjun said and hooked her fingers slightly: "She is going to marry into the Jingwang Mansion. Jingwang Concubine found Yuxiu last night and asked her to steal a pair of my earrings. She also found Master Ningyin and asked her to ask me to change the music score for her. She hurried down the mountain today."
"Today, the Northern Frontier Envoy's Mansion is not at peace." Pei Yuanjun understood. The two of them are now husband and wife, and they are getting along better and better. He already understood each other's intentions before they finished speaking. "Qi Lie is wholeheartedly trying to seize the throne of Northern Frontier, but it's a pity that he is not legitimate after all. The crown prince of Northern Frontier is the legitimate heir of Northern Frontier."
"Your Majesty...what do you think this will turn out like?" Qu Moying asked.
"It will be quite a show." Pei Yuanjun said with a half-smile, and sneered coldly, "The general who assists the country has high aspirations. He has been a local emperor in a border area for so many years, and he really thinks he is the emperor. He thinks too highly of himself."
"So...that's why Princess Jing chose you?" Qu Moying lowered her eyes and smiled.
"That's why you chose me." Pei Yuanjun nodded and smiled.
The rumor at that time spread to the capital, saying that Liu Lanxin even destroyed her eyes in order to save Pei Yuanjun. At this time, any man would be responsible for Liu Lanxin. This was a favor, and no matter who it was, he had to marry her.
Even if the prince encountered such a thing, he would admit it immediately.
This kind of thing was a good thing for them, and it even alarmed the emperor afterwards, but who could have thought... that the final result would be like this!
Pei Yuanjun was so stubborn that he refused to marry her, and the emperor was unable to make Pei Yuanjun give in...
"General Fuguo made a mistake!" Qu Moying laughed.
"If I don't want to marry, no one can force me." Pei Yuanjun looked at Qu Moying with a smile and pinched her fingers lightly.
"Then... why didn't he choose the prince at that time? No matter how you look at it, the prince is the most suitable one?" Qu Moying asked. This was also something she could never figure out.
The most suitable person for Liu Lanxin to marry is the Crown Prince, so why did she choose the King of England
"The Crown Prince got engaged early, and Ling Anbo's daughter married into the Eastern Palace, so his daughter couldn't get married. They were both daughters of first-rank generals, so it's impossible for them to enter the Eastern Palace at the same time. The Eastern Palace... after all, it's just the Eastern Palace, and it doesn't look that stable."
Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
Qu Moying was silent, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a long while she said, "If he takes that position... I'm afraid it will be bad for you!"
"So he won't get to that position." Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
Qu Moying's heart skipped a beat, her watery eyes blinked, and a smile blossomed like a flower: "Yes... He definitely can't reach this position."
Pei Luoan doesn't deserve it!
How could someone like him be worthy of sitting in such a position!
Some things are known, but because the matter is too big, no matter how unimportant it is, it will still be on his mind. Now, after listening to Pei Yuanjun's clear words, Qu Moying felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
Their interests are always the same.
I will not go against my own wishes, nor will I go against his wishes.
Pei Yuanjun looked at her slightly conflicted expression, her jade-like profile, her skin emitting a jade-like halo, and her delicate facial features, making her look like an elf fairy under the moon. Then he saw her smile that seemed to have bloomed freely, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
He actually didn't want her to get involved in this kind of thing, he just wanted to take her under his wing, but if there were things she preferred to do on her own, then he would support her from behind...
This is the woman he plans to pamper for his whole life, and the only woman he is willing to treat well with his whole life. No matter before or after this, no other woman can leave a mark in his heart.
He thought he would never fall in love in his life because his heart was cold.
But now he found out that it was not that he could not be moved, it was just that he had not met her. Apart from her, his heart was still cold...
"Don't worry about him. If you want to investigate your cousin, just go ahead and do it." Pei Yuanjun said, looking up at the stars in the sky. "Look at the stars in the sky. They have been changing since ancient times. The brightest star in the past may not be the brightest in the future, and the brightest star now may not be the brightest in the past."
"The stars over there are very bright." Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked towards the sky. The moonlight was like water. Next to the clear moon, there was a star that seemed to be much brighter than ordinary stars. He didn't know whether it was because the moonlight today was too charming, or because the scene was too charming.
Qu Moying actually felt that the moonlight at this moment was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that it made people's hearts flutter.
I leaned over involuntarily, leaning on the arms of the person in front of me. The person behind me also reacted, and the interlocked hands fell down. I reached out and held her slender waist. The two of them stopped together, snuggling together and looking at the full moon in the sky. It was another full moon night, very beautiful...
The wide robes were flying, and under the moonlight, the handsome and noble man embraced the beautiful woman, just like a stunning painting. When the wind blew, the scroll rolled up, and the clothes fluttered...
In the darkness of night, several men in black suddenly appeared outside the courtyard of the Northern Frontier Mission. Without saying a word, they looked at each other, then suddenly took out some firewood from their arms, lit it with a tinder, and threw it into the courtyard.
After throwing the firewood into the yard, several men in black hid instantly.
"Who is it?" someone in the yard whispered, and a figure immediately appeared on the wall.
Someone on the tree pulled a bow and shot an arrow at the guard who had just climbed up the wall. The arrow hit his body and the guard who had just jumped up fell back into the yard with a scream.
More guards rushed out, and arrows shot out from nowhere in the darkness, causing the guards from the Northern Frontier to fall to the ground one after another.
Some people screamed, some shouted in fear, and some rushed towards the firewood that was thrown in. Several pieces of firewood were soaked in oil. Once thrown in, they burned more vigorously, and the surrounding flammable objects immediately caught fire.
Not only the front yard, but also the backyard was thrown into this firewood, which was difficult to put out with water.
Prince Qi Lie was awakened, casually put on a brocade robe, and sat in the room with a gloomy face. Several guards were closely protecting him, and they were staring at the window and the door nervously.
"Your Highness... Who would want to take your life?" A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar stood at the window, staring at it with frowning eyes. It was very chaotic outside the window. Although the guards were out to take charge of things, it seemed as if there were enemies everywhere and assassins might rush in at any time.
Prince Qi Lie shook his head, his face as gloomy as water.
He could never have imagined that an assassin would rush in and assassinate him.
"It can't be someone from the court. The two countries are now in peace talks, and no one would want to disrupt the talks. Then who could it be?" The middle-aged scholar frowned tightly, looking unhappy.
Although he was dressed neatly, he was woken up from bed suddenly.
"Mr. Xiao, do you think no one will disrupt the peace talks?" Prince Qilie asked coldly.
"It shouldn't be... not." Mr. Xiao was not sure at this time, and looked out the window, "What exactly do they want to do, assassinate His Highness? If they want to assassinate His Highness... it doesn't look right."
The momentum was quite loud, but it was just momentum. So far, the people seen were basically family members. The family members were in chaos. No one expected such a thing to happen, and no one believed that someone came to assassinate the prince.
Until now, no one has been able to get before Prince Qi Lie, so... which family is this assassin from
Even though Mr. Xiao was well aware of the forces in Beijing, he still couldn't understand who would do such a thing at this time
"Mr. Xiao, do you think they are not targeting me?" Prince Qi Lie also looked out the window, took a deep breath, and stood up. "Could it be my brother's people?"
Mr. Xiao was startled and rubbed his hands nervously: "Your Highness, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here... with so many people?"
"There are not many people." Prince Qi Lie calmed down at this time and said after thinking carefully.
Mr. Xiao nodded in agreement: "Even if there are not many people, it is not something that an outside force can do to allow these people to get here without being discovered."
"So... big brother has colluded with others?" Prince Qi Lie said. This was what he least wanted to see. His sister said before that she would find big brother and the others soon, but until now, his sister had not found any useful clues.
Not only were there no useful clues, but her affairs had been turned into such a mess. Prince Qi Lie was still very angry. A good move had been turned into such a passive one because of his sister's stupidity.
"If the Crown Prince has teamed up with someone... who does the Second Prince think it will be?" Mr. Xiao was also very uneasy. This was something no one wanted to see.
A prince from the northern border is already difficult to deal with, and it would be even more difficult if there was another powerful person.
Prince Qilie scolded in a low voice: "It better not be the King of England."
The person he was most wary of was always the King of Ying, whom he cared about more than the Crown Prince and the King of Jing. Even though he was only a King of Ying and not the Emperor's son, Prince Qi Lie still placed the King of Ying at the top of the Great Zhou Dynasty, higher than the Crown Prince and the King of Jing.
"It can't be the King of England." Mr. Xiao shook his head affirmatively.
"Why can't it be the King of England?" Prince Qi Lie asked back, with a frown on his face. Although he asked this, he was actually very worried.
If Big Brother really joins forces with the King of England, things will become tricky.
"If it was the King of England who did it, do you think you can still stand here and talk?" Mr. Xiao answered, pointing out the window. "In this capital, if there is anyone who is lawless, it is really no one else except the King of England. If he wants your life, it doesn't matter whether you negotiate or not."
After hearing what Mr. Xiao said, Prince Qi Lie shuddered and looked at Zuo Zai. He felt that this place was not safe either and the guards might not be able to protect him.
"Does he really dare to do such a thing?" Prince Qi Lie gritted his teeth.
"How dare you go against the will of the world." Mr. Xiao looked at him calmly.
"What if he wants to seize the throne?" Prince Qi Lie clenched his fists tightly, horrified. He also wanted to seize the throne, but he had always been cautious and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He was also polite to others, no matter who the other person was, he always behaved very magnanimously, for fear of any bad influence.
