"I don't know what the prince is talking about. Lie didn't bring anything good when he came to the capital this time. The King of Ying just explained that no matter what it is, Lie will definitely bring some next time." Prince Qi Lie was also confused by what he said. After thinking about it, he felt that the things he gave were all his own fine products and he definitely didn't keep anything for himself.
"Second Prince, you are too modest. I heard that the most famous things in Northern Frontier are various miraculous medicines, which have various effects different from those in the Central Plains. Why don't you bring some with you when you go to Beijing this time?" Pei Yuanjun raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and his handsome eyes and eyebrows looked very gentle.
These words gave Prince Qilie a chill.
Is the most miraculous medicine in Northern Xinjiang poison
The witches in the northern border have their own set of medical methods, which are different from those in the Central Plains. Some remote places may grow medicines that can take people's lives.
However, doctors in the Central Plains may not be able to recognize it.
“Lie is not too clear about this kind of thing… The witch priests know it. If the King of England really needs it, the next time Lie returns to Northern Frontier, he will send a portion of good herbs to the King of England.” Prince Qi Lie said vaguely.
"Thank you, Prince Qilie." Pei Yuanjun sighed.
Just a few words made Prince Qilie break out in a cold sweat. Pei Yuanjun's question about these herbs certainly wasn't aimless, so what did he mean
Now that the gift has been given, it's up to Pei Yusheng next. Prince Qilie looked at Pei Yusheng calmly.
Pei Yusheng coughed softly and looked at Prince Qilie suspiciously. Although he had heard of the medicine from Northern Frontier, he didn't take it seriously. The fact that Uncle Wang specifically mentioned it showed that this matter was unusual.
But now is not the time to talk about such things. "Uncle Wang, when Prince Qi Lie was in the northern border, he heard that our Great Zhou Dynasty had two great generals, and he admired them very much. He had seen General Fuguo when he was at the border, and he was indeed worthy of his reputation. After arriving in Jincheng, he wanted to visit the Ling'an Earl's Mansion and pay tribute to the former General Jianwei."
"Originally this matter has been approved, but I don't know how I offended Uncle Wang's men. I would like to ask Uncle Wang for instructions."
Instead of saying directly that it was Pei Yuanjun's intention, he only mentioned his subordinates, which meant that if there was anything, everyone could discuss it and there was more room for maneuver.
Today they came to the King of Ying's palace just to make Pei Yuanjun give in, not to make Pei Yuanjun angry.
Pei Yusheng still didn't understand why this matter was related to Pei Yuanjun. Could it be a mistake? He believed Uncle Wang when he was in charge of other matters, but he didn't believe him when he was in charge of the affairs of Ling'anbo Mansion.
There's no connection between the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion and Pei Yuanjun, right
Pei Yuanjun would not meddle in such trivial matters.
"What happened at the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion?" Pei Yuanjun asked back, as if he had pondered Pei Yusheng's words. He looked unclear, as if he was not clear about the cause of the incident.
"Uncle Wang, don't you know either?" Pei Yusheng misunderstood and said angrily, "I don't know who secretly stopped Prince Qi Lie from worshipping Ling Anbo, and even borrowed Uncle Wang's name. Uncle Wang, I will investigate this matter later. If I find out who is behind this, I will never let him off easily."
He was sure that he had not interfered. Now it was not Pei Yuanjun anymore, and it could not be anyone else except Pei Luoan.
Pei Yuanjun must have hated others using his name to cause trouble.
Pei Yuanjun suddenly chuckled, his handsome face suddenly became vivid, he leaned back, put his hands together on the table, clasped his fingers casually twice, and then slowly said: "This matter was done by me, King Jing feels... wrong?"
The smile on Pei Yusheng's face froze...
"King Ying, I wonder what Lie did wrong to make King Ying dissatisfied with Lie?" Prince Qi Lie asked respectfully.
Pei Yuanjun's eyes fell on Prince Qilie, and he curled his lips and smiled: "I heard that Prince Qilie is actually the son of your princess?"
Prince Qi Lie's heart skipped a beat. He had never mentioned this matter since he arrived in the Great Zhou.
It's not just the Great Zhou. In the Northern Frontier, when he was first made the Second Prince, the lineage of the Crown Prince and the Empress would mention him from time to time, but after that, few people mentioned him anymore.
The first feeling in my mind was that someone told Pei Yuanjun about this. Who was it
"Lie is indeed the princess's son. In our Northern Frontier, even if he is the princess's son, he is still a member of the royal family and can also become a prince. Does this have anything to do with Lie's plan to go to Ling Anbo's mansion to pay homage?"
Prince Qilie smiled.
Pei Yusheng really didn't know about this. He concealed the shock on his face and looked at Prince Qilie twice more. If Prince Qilie was not the official heir of the King of Northern Frontier, then what about Princess Qiya
Could it be that she is not a proper princess
Although some of the princesses who were married off to other countries were daughters of royal families, their weight was much lighter than that of real princesses.
Pei Yusheng had never doubted this aspect before, because Princess Qiya and Prince Qilie looked like siblings.
Princess Qiya and Prince Qilie spoke very casually to each other. If they were not proper siblings, they would not be so presumptuous.
However, I never thought that Prince Qilie was not really a real prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Thinking of this, his attention was focused on Prince Qilie. He was vaguely dissatisfied that Northern Frontier had concealed this matter from Great Zhou.
"Prince Qi Lie admires Mr. Ling An so much?" Pei Yusheng curled his lips and did not pursue the matter.
Because his identity was pointed out directly, Prince Qilie became more cautious: "Although Northern Frontier was hostile to Great Zhou before, Northern Frontier still respects several generals of Great Zhou, especially General Fuguo and General Jianwei. In the hearts of the people of Northern Frontier, these two generals are the true warriors of Great Zhou."
"Warrior?" Pei Yuanjun found his description interesting. Although his smile was relatively gentle, his gaze fell on Prince Qilie's face like a substance, which made Prince Qilie's heart tighten. "I didn't expect that the people of Beijing actually admire the soldiers of Dazhou so much."
Prince Qi Lie lowered his eyes to hide the anger in his eyes. Both sides were from enemy countries and had been fighting for so many years. Even if the people of Northern Frontier admired heroes the most, they could not venerate a general of an enemy country to this extent.
"Lie was originally not in charge of things. The one who really took charge of Northern Frontier was my eldest brother, and he was also the one who had been handling matters concerning the enemy." Prince Qi Lie sighed and explained, "This time I came to the Great Zhou, it was because my father saw that Lie had been idle, so he found some things for Lie to do. Compared to my eldest brother, Lie knew very little about war. He just knew that a war between two countries would be bad for all the people."
He was just an idle prince who had never cared about state affairs. He was not that hostile to the war or the Great Zhou. That was why he had such respect for several generals of the Great Zhou.
This is also a good explanation.
"So that's it!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
"It's Lie's fault." Prince Qi Lie slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was just asking. It wasn't a big deal.
"But... I'm afraid this is still not appropriate." Pei Yuanjun said, tapping lightly on the nanmu chair rail.
"Why?"
"It's not a special matter. It's just that it's not convenient for the Second Prince to go to the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion now. There are only female relatives in the mansion, and the young marquis is still young. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Pei Yuanjun chuckled.
"It's just a brief tribute. Hui Lie will bring my sister over, and she will negotiate with the women in the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion." Prince Qi Lie answered cautiously.
"The princess can go, but as for Prince Qilie... it will still be inconvenient." Pei Yuanjun said with a smile.
“Although little Ling Anbo is young, Lie will only pay a brief tribute to him and then leave. It won’t take much time.” Prince Qi Lie said hurriedly.
"I'm afraid this matter...will have to be discussed later." Pei Yuanjun said.
Prince Qi Lie was nervous, but he forced himself to calm down and said, "Then I'll trouble His Royal Highness the King of England."
"Nothing, just check it out." Pei Yuanjun said, his handsome eyes raised, looking at Prince Qilie with some interest, "I heard that the second prince doesn't have a principal princess yet?"
Prince Qi Lie's heart skipped a beat when he read this, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Lie had a principal wife before, but because...something happened to her, now he doesn't have a principal wife."
"Second Prince, are you willing to find a marriage here and bring it back?" Pei Yuanjun asked with a smile.
"If there is someone suitable, I am willing to do it. However, Lie is very sad about what happened before, so we may have to wait for some time before we talk about it. After all, Lie's previous princess grew up together and accompanied him for many years. Her feelings are different from those of ordinary people."
Prince Qilie sighed and looked mournful, which also showed that he was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
"It is rare that the Second Prince is so affectionate. If there is a suitable one, I will definitely keep an eye out for him." Pei Yuanjun said.
"Thank you, King Ying." Prince Qi Lie looked grateful and thanked him again.
After discussing the matter here, no conclusion could be reached for the time being. They could only wait for Pei Yuanjun to say, "Let's discuss it carefully later." At least he did not refuse on the spot, which made Prince Qilie feel a little relieved.
After discussing the important matters, Pei Yusheng took Prince Qilie away, and then returned to the envoy's residence in Northern Xinjiang together. Ever since the assassination incident, the security of the envoy's residence in Northern Xinjiang has been stricter.
After Pei Yusheng sent the people to the base, he did not stay long and turned around and left with them.
Prince Qi Lie watched Pei Yusheng leave before turning back to the main room. When he sat down, his face darkened.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Mr. Xiao was already waiting for him in the room. When he saw him come in, he stepped forward and bowed before asking.
"We need to discuss this further." Prince Qilie slammed the table vigorously. "This is simply going too far!"
"Your Highness, please calm down!" Mr. Xiao advised hurriedly, knowing that he was angry with the King of England.
When he was at the border, he knew that the King of England would become arrogant and would not give face to anyone, let alone Prince Qilie. He also did not give face to the General Fuguo. Otherwise, it would be the King of England who would marry the General Fuguo's daughter at this time.
The general tried his best, and the young lady also disregarded the girl's face at that time, but the final result was that the King of England was unmoved.
In terms of military power, his general can compare with anyone except the King of England. In terms of favor, the emperor has always trusted his general, but he can only be said to be very kind to the King of England. He even values him more than his own son. The general once guessed this, but found out in the end that it was not the case.
There is no way that the Emperor and the old Princess of Yun could have any relationship.
