Then we can only agree with the rumors that came out in the palace at that time, saying that the fate of the King of England is of great benefit to the emperor, and the emperor's health is not very good. If it were not for the fate of the King of England to help ward off disasters, there might really be big problems. So this is the real reason why the King of England has favored him for so many years.
It also told the world that as long as the emperor was still alive, the King of England would be fine.
“The King of England is so lawless and does whatever he wants, and he also commands his own troops... Can't the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty see this?” Prince Qi Lie had just been too aggrieved in the King of England's Palace, and he could not endure it any longer.
"Your Highness, please stop talking." Mr. Xiao looked outside the room in panic and lowered his voice.
Even though he was resourceful in the past, he was frightened and panicked at this moment.
Prince Qi Lie knew that he had spoken out of turn, and tried hard to suppress his anger. Although his voice became lower, the hatred in his eyes was still there.
"He actually interfered in such a small matter, and even said... I am the princess's son, and he also said he would find a good marriage for me."
Prince Qilie gritted his teeth.
Although he did come here with this intention, he didn't think Pei Yuanjun would find a good marriage for him.
If it comes to the marriage alone, he wants to choose a more suitable one, rather than just letting the Great Zhou Dynasty casually send him a useless woman. Even if this woman is given the title of "princess", so what? A useless woman is useless. He wants to choose the main wife from the Great Zhou, but he has to choose someone he likes.
"Your Highness... these things... If someone hadn't really said something, the King of England wouldn't have found out about your Highness, right?" Mr. Xiao reminded.
"Tong Yuzhen should be by the side of the King of England. This woman..." Prince Qi Lie gritted his teeth, "I don't know what she said to make the King of England care about me so much!"
"Your Highness, even if Miss Tong went to the King of England and said something, it does not mean that Miss Tong is unfaithful to Your Highness. It is possible that the King of England became suspicious of Your Highness because of Miss Tong's words and deliberately questioned you." Mr. Xiao looked further. He had also seen this Miss Tong.
He seems to be a smart man. He would not sell out Prince Qilie as soon as he gets to the King of England.
Even if she could win the heart of the King of England, her status was shameful after all, and she was a fallen woman. How could she really be worthy of being the King's principal wife
"Your Highness, think about it. If the King of England really knew that you had plotted against him and that you had a relationship with Miss Tong, he probably wouldn't let you in so easily this time." Mr. Xiao continued to persuade him, pointing at the window. "Given the King of England's temper, he should have sent someone to take you away without saying anything."
"I am the peace envoy from the Northern Frontier." Prince Qilie was furious.
Mr. Xiao looked at him calmly and stated the fact: "So what? If it was someone else, they would not dare to do it, but if it was the King of England... then there is no need to worry."
"Does he even dare to disrupt the peace talks between the two countries?" Prince Qilie felt angry and humiliated.
"He dares!"
Mr. Xiao's last two words calmed Prince Qilie down.
The anger on his face slowly faded away, and finally his face turned slightly pale. He knew that what Mr. Xiao said was true, and Pei Yuanjun could not be judged by common sense.
Even now, the soldiers in the northern border still tremble with fear when they mention this British king.
Some even say that if the King of England really wanted to destroy Northern Xinjiang, the royal family of Northern Xinjiang would have been destroyed long ago.
The Great Zhou once attacked the royal court of the Northern Frontier, but at that time it only forced the royal court of the Northern Frontier to move. After the Great Zhou army left, the royal court of the Northern Frontier returned to its original place.
The Northern Frontier suffered a huge loss that time, of course, only the Northern Frontier royal family knew how huge the loss was.
The one who led the troops at that time was the old Duke of Qi. All the generals under his command gathered together, including the current General Fuguo, the deceased General Jianwei, Duke Yu, etc. At that time, there were many famous generals of the Great Zhou, and only then did they push the troops to the royal court in the northern border.
Afterwards, the old Duke of Qi returned the military power and returned to the capital. The military forces on the border were almost divided into three parts. After that, when Duke Yu got into trouble, the military forces were almost all on General Fuguo and General Jianwei. Later, Pei Yuanjun entered the army and took power. The military power was slowly gathered in his hands, and then divided out from his hands to Duke Xing, Prince of Yan and others.
These people are all royal children. Even if the General Auxiliary to the State is dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do, especially since Pei Yuanjun is putting pressure on them.
Therefore, people in the northern border think that this British king is terrible...
"Your Highness, if Miss Tong really told you everything, do you think you can still sit here so safely?" Mr. Xiao asked again.
Prince Qi Lie fell silent for a long time before he said, "So... what exactly does he want to do?"
"Maybe Miss Tong said something that caused the King of England to misunderstand... or maybe it was something that aroused his suspicion. Your Highness, don't be nervous. Going to worship will be beneficial to the Great Zhou and will definitely not stop us." Mr. Xiao comforted Prince Qilie.
"It was a mistake to let Tong Yuzhen come here. Didn't you say you were deeply in love with her? I really can't see why, but it has caused me so much trouble." Prince Qilie said unhappily.
"Your Highness, I originally wanted Miss Tong to come here first to get the news. If she could get to King Ying's side, she would be a chess piece planted early, so that Your Highness would not be passive after entering the capital. I just didn't expect that Miss Tong, who is so smart, couldn't get things done."
Mr. Xiao was also sighing. No one had expected this. Miss Tong disappeared as soon as she came to Beijing. Not to mention asking her for help, even if you wanted to look for her, you couldn't find her.
Fortunately, the person has not been lost yet, and it is almost certain that he is with the King of England.
"That thing... is it really still there?" Prince Qi Lie asked with a frown.
"Of course it's there. It's certain that it's not in the palace. It was taken away by several generals at the time. General Fuguo was with Duke Yu at the time, and it's not with Duke Qi either. So it must be in the mansion of Earl Ling'an." Mr. Xiao whispered, looking out the window cautiously again.
Now there are not only guards from the Northern Frontier here, but there may also be people from the Great Zhou, so you naturally have to be more careful with what you say.
"Is the niece you contacted before really dead?" Prince Qi Lie asked after thinking for a while. In fact, he had asked this question before, but he still felt unwilling to accept it.
"He's really dead." Mr. Xiao explained helplessly.
"You all said in the past how powerful and useful this woman was, and how she won the favor of the Crown Prince of Great Zhou. How come she has become like this now? Ever since I came to Great Zhou, all I've heard were words of deep affection from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," said Prince Qi Lie dissatisfiedly.
"This matter... may also be due to some accidents." Mr. Xiao coughed and said.
"Accident? What accident? These women have never been reliable in doing things, but you still trust them." Prince Qilie said unhappily.
"Your Highness, this is really an accident. She was fine originally, and even managed to escape by threatening death. I didn't expect that it would be like this in the end. It was her own fault. She thought that the position of Crown Princess was in her hands, and she was so self-righteous." Mr. Xiao explained awkwardly.
"The position of the Crown Princess is in her hands? How capable is she? Without the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion, she is nothing. This woman is really stupid. How can she think this might be true?" Prince Qi Lie sneered. He was in a bad mood at the moment and was dissatisfied with everything, even this Mr. Xiao.
Normally, he was extremely polite to Mr. Xiao.
"Your Highness..." Mr. Xiao became more and more embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me what you can do to make this go more smoothly. The Ling'an Marquis's Mansion is the place we must go to. A young marquis is not a concern, but they are all female relatives..." Prince Qi Lie calmed down and did not intend to embarrass Mr. Xiao too much.
"They are all female relatives, so maybe the princess should go there." Mr. Xiao said.
"What's the point of Qiya going? It's not that the people in Ling'anbo's mansion disagree, but Pei Yuanjun is deliberately making things difficult for me." Prince Qilie said unhappily.
"Princess Ying has returned to the capital. I heard that she is almost fully recovered now. She is no longer burdened by the Qu family. She also recognized her ancestors. I heard that there were noble ladies in the capital who did not attend the banquet. If they have some friendship with her, they all want to send her a note to ask for an audience. If they can have a close relationship with her, it will be very beneficial."
Mr. Xiao reminded.
The current princess changed her surname to Mo, and has no relationship with the Qu family anymore. Minister Qu's family is really a big pit, and without them holding her back, Princess Ying is in good health and mood now, and it may be even better in the future, after all, she now has the Yuguo Mansion behind her.
Duke Yu is still young, and now that he has regained control of the military, he wants to compensate his only daughter.
From this point of view, there are quite a few people who want to make friends with the British princess.
"Let Qiya ask to see the Queen of England?" Prince Qilie understood.
"Yes, no matter whether the King of England cares about the former Queen of England or not, things must be different now," said Mr. Xiao.
"But what if it has no effect?" asked Prince Qi Lie.
"You can make friends with the British princess. Your Highness, don't you happen to have some confirmed news? You can let the princess reveal some to the British princess. Even if the British princess is incompetent, no one can tolerate her man favoring another woman, not to mention that she now has a backing from her family."
"You mean... Tong Yuzhen's matter?" Prince Qi Lie's eyes lit up, but then he asked, "Will it put Tong Yuzhen in danger?"
After all, Tong Yuzhen might be of great use in the future.
"No, Your Highness, do you think that the King of England can't even protect a woman with his ability?" Mr. Xiao hinted, "At most, it will cause a dispute between the two people. If it were in the past, the Princess of England would definitely not dare to do this, but now... the Princess of England can do such a thing with confidence. Princess Qia gave the Princess of England such a great gift, and the Princess of England will be grateful."
