Shen Xihe smiled and nodded.
"Why is it so?" Bu Shulin was puzzled.
Although they are on the wrong side of His Majesty and His Majesty is not a merciful person, how could the mistakes made by Princess Yangling be so serious that her biological father would wish her dead
"If it were a normal time, it wouldn't be like this." Shen Xihe said in a low voice, "But your majesty has worked hard for more than ten years, waiting to announce to the foreign envoys today that our dynasty will no longer make peace with the four barbarians, but it was destroyed by Princess Yangling in one day."
This was definitely not a shameless romantic affair without moral codes. It was a stranglehold on Emperor Youning's ambition when he was ready to go, forcing him to hold back his passion.
The affair between Princess Yangling and Munuha was known to the whole court. If Emperor Youning announced at this time that he would no longer marry princesses to the four barbarians in the future, wouldn't that be a joke
"Your Majesty actually has such a plan." Bu Shulin hesitantly said.
Regardless of your majesty's original intention, your courage in not marrying a princess made Bu Shulin admire you.
As a girl, she didn't like those noble ideas of asking girls to marry to bring peace between the two sides. She felt that this was a kind of cowardly and incompetent compromise on the part of men.
As a prince of a frontier country, she knew better than most people how miserable the lives of Han women who married into a foreign race were, even if they were married off as princesses.
"My father once said that few princesses who married into Tubo lived long. They all died of depression in Tubo." Bu Shulin sighed, "As a great country, why don't we use our strength to block the marriage? Sending a princess to marry, I feel that the congratulations from all nations are just a joke!"
"I don't like marriage either." Shen Xihe agreed, "So, as long as Princess Yangling dies, His Majesty can still use his heroic act of not marrying a princess, and even use it as an excuse to make it seem more logical."
"Yes." Bu Shulin's eyes lit up. "If Princess Yangling died, especially at the hands of Munuha, Your Majesty could use this as an excuse to justify his actions and say that there would be no marriage alliance from now on. Even the common people would have no complaints."
Bu Shulin didn't care whether Princess Yangling lived or died, especially when she knew that Princess Yangling had instigated the Fourth Princess to murder Shen Xihe behind her back. That day, she saw with her own eyes that the Fourth Princess whipped the horse that Shen Xihe was riding with a horsewhip. She wished she could pounce on the Fourth Princess and tear her to pieces.
If Shen Xihe had not been so lucky, Bu Shulin would still be frightened when thinking of the giant snake.
"Ah Lin." Shen Xihe suddenly called Bu Shulin affectionately.
Bu Shulin was startled for no apparent reason, and subconsciously leaned back, looking at Shen Xihe defensively: "You...what do you want me to do? Just tell me..."
Shen Xihe smiled and said, "I have nothing to tell you. I just want to settle accounts with you."
"Settling the accounts?" Bu Shulin was a little confused.
"Yes." Shen Xihe nodded and said, "Your Majesty originally wanted to break off relations with Tubo. Initially, he planned to kill you and then provoke your father to let someone else take over the Shunan army. Although I also contributed to this, Cui Shaoqing had already arranged it. I firmly believe that you can survive even without me. Therefore, I did not settle this matter with you."
