Chapter 43 The Queen of Jin

When they arrived at the Jiuwang Mansion, the female officials in the palace had already been waiting in the Qilin Courtyard. After Yan Li arrived, they saluted respectfully: "See Princess Nanyang."

“No need to be polite.”

Mu Cang's eyes were locked on her little face, and his voice was low: "In addition to tailoring our body today, there is one more thing to follow with you."

Yan Li said: "What's the matter?"

"The Queen of Jin and several princes are already on the way to Mu Kingdom and will arrive at the border soon."

Yan Li was slightly stunned, and then puzzled: "Queen of Jin? What are she doing?"

Mu Cang was silent for a moment: "The Queen of Jin State's surname is Jiang."

"I know." Yan Li nodded slowly, "not only was her surname Jiang, she also held the power of the Jin State's government over the years, and she was powerful in the court. All of this was not only because the emperor of Jin State had always been in a bad state, but also because the emperor and empress had a harmonious relationship and loved each other deeply, and even the princes were respectful to her."

As a harem woman, the Queen of Jin's life was in vain. Her husband loved and trusted her, and the princes respected her. Even the concubines in the harem were convinced by her and never thought of dealing with her.

The harem of Jin State is probably the most harmonious harem in history.

The two entered the hall, and the female official of the Sizhifang lowered her eyebrows and looked down at Yan Li, but Yan Li's thoughts were still on the Queen of Jin.

She actually knew a little about the queen of Jin. She used to think that this queen deserved a legend. After all, most of the people in power in all countries in the world were men. There was never a precedent for women to take power in the founding of Jin for hundreds of years.

Empress Jiang can gain a foothold in the Jin harem with her daughter, and can also interfere in the government affairs, hold great power, and definitely has an impressive ability.

As we all know, the harem interference in politics will definitely cause many dissatisfaction, the party divisions in the court, and the princes compete for power and profit - but Jin did not.

Just as the queen is in power and has received everyone's support, the people's will is even more terrifying.

The only thing that can be regarded as a secret is probably the origin of the Queen of Jin State, and no one knows her origin.

As the imperial daughter of the Southern Kingdom, she has been studying in the Four Books and Five Classics, military strategy, and imperial mind skills since she was a child. She knows a lot about other countries, but she can't check everything in detail. After all, she doesn't have that much curiosity.

At this time, when Mu Cang suddenly mentioned this, with her intelligence and keenness, it is actually not difficult to guess the truth.

"Queen Jiang has something to do with the Jiang family?"

Mu Cang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, turned his head when he heard this, and looked at her deeply: "What if she was your mother?"

Yan Li was subconsciously stunned and then reacted, Oh, what Mu Cang was talking about Yan Li’s biological mother Jiang Yi?

She frowned: "Jiang Yi is not dead?"

Mu Cang shook his head: "I'm not dead."

"What happened to the Jiang family that rumored that Jiang Yi had eloped with someone?" Yan Li was puzzled, "Is this kind of thing very glorious? It is worthy of the publicity of the Imperial Master's Family and ruining his daughter's reputation?"

The reason why Yan Li was not loved by the Jiang family was not only because she was living under someone else's roof, but the bigger reason was that her mother Jiang Yi.

For a family that claims to be a Qinggui family, fame is undoubtedly the most important. Jiang Yi did such a destructive family tradition, and the attitude of the Jiang family towards Yan Li is understandable.

What I can't understand now is that if Jiang Yi was not dead and the elopement was not true, then what was going on?

Why did she "dead" after giving birth to Yan Li in the Jiang family?

Mu Cang didn't say anything, just looked at Yan Li's delicate and refined face, with a bit of childishness that is unique to a cardamom girl in her eyebrows, but her eyes and expression were not exactly what a girl should have.

He closed his eyes and said indifferently: "It may be a marriage between Mu and Jin."

Marriage?

Yan Li frowned: "The marriage between the two countries is a major event that concerns the country. The Jiang family cannot not know that such things are not something that Jiang Yi can do alone."

Mu Cang said calmly: "Only the emperor and Jiang Yi themselves know the truth about this matter."

Yan Li pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes."

Perhaps, if there is any hidden truth in this, it can only be known to the emperor and Jiang Yi himself. However, marriage is obviously a major event for the country, and it is logical that it should not be concealed.

"Do you want to know what they are doing?"

Yan Li came back to her senses and thought for a while: "Jiang Yi wants to recognize her daughter?"

Her tone was indifferent and calm, without any emotional ups and downs, as if this matter had nothing to do with her... although she really didn't think that the matter had anything to do with her.

After all, the real Yan Li is dead.

The female official tailed her to finish and bowed her knees to Mu Cang and Yan Li to leave.

Mu Cang walked to Yan Li and raised his hand to lift her hair on her temples: "Yan Li."

Yan Li looked at him calmly.

"Will you stay in Mu Country in the future?"

"No." Yan Li's voice was very light, but she was confident, "Mu State will not become my destination."

Mu Cang pursed his lips.

"If the prince cares about this, our engagement can be cancelled at any time." Yan Li was not willing to force others, although Mu Cang was not allowed to force it. "In fact, getting married is not in my plan, but my body is temporarily too weak, and I am too lazy to deal with those messy people, so I find a backer for the time being-"

"I don't care." Mu Cang's voice was low, and he interrupted her before she could finish her words, "I am willing to be your backer."

Yan Li stared at him without saying a word, and slightly raised the corner of her mouth: "Prince, I am only fourteen years old this year."

"Yes." A smile appeared in Mu Cang's eyes, "So even if I marry you, I can't touch you for the time being, right?"

"If the prince wants the old cow to eat tender grass, I will not refuse." Yan Li said, "I can't take advantage of the prince in vain."

If you want to get some benefits, you should pay some price.

She still understands this principle.

"I'm not that beast." Mu Cang said helplessly, "I also said that our engagement is not a business. I am willing to be your backer and will not ask you to pay anything for it."

Yan Li nodded, still stressing: "I won't take advantage of you in vain."

Mu Cang: “…”

"Is there anything else the prince wants to say about the Queen of Jin?"

"I don't know much about Jiang Yi than you. The incident where she came to Mu Country was found by my spies." Mu Cang shook his head, "I just want you to be mentally prepared, and don't think too much."

Yan Li didn't think too much about it. She even felt that even if Queen Jiang was Jiang Yi, it had nothing to do with her. After all, she was not really Yan Li.

Jiang Yi's biological daughter is dead, she is just a wisp of soul reborn on Yan Li. With the help of Yan Li's body, she seeks justice for her before and then completes what she wants to do.

As for the future, she still has to go back to the southern country, which is why she feels that she owes Mu Cang - as the God of War in Mu, Mu Cang cannot leave his country, and Yan Li cannot stay here.
