Xiao Feifei finally burst into tears. Thinking of the eldest princess of Pingyao, who had protected her like a sister, her heart ached when she looked at the voiceless person in front of her.
"Rest in peace. I will treat your children as my own and teach them to be adults!"
Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi passed by the eldest princess's mansion and took a sideways look. In this world, there are always people who don't know how to cherish the present. They harm others and themselves and risk everything for their vain desires.
Wherever the heart reaches, there is life.
"The eldest princess died——"
In the eldest princess's house, a long mournful song could be heard. The servants hung up white sails and wept bitterly for the death of the eldest princess.
In the end, the emperor saved his eldest daughter's face and allowed her to be buried as the eldest princess.
The two children of the eldest princess were arranged to leave the capital by the prince's consort early, and they would only be brought back after the funeral of the eldest princess was completed and the news was over.
Or, he might as well live elsewhere with his children, so as not to break their fragile minds with gossip.
Jun Lingyun looked away.
"Xi'er, do you really plan to keep Xiao Feifei?"
Chu Yunxi spoke softly.
"Well, no one should be punished for the faults of others. Nor can she die just because she has offended me and my status is higher than her. Ling Yun, the bright world we long for,
She will be the best witness."
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Yunxi, she was so beautiful, so beautiful that he was moved.
Chu Yunxi didn't know that the bright world he longed for was all in her heart.
Jun Lingyun tightened the reins, hugged her tighter, and headed towards Chunhui Tower.
Xiao Lian and Si Qi, who were following them, also felt sad in their hearts. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
In Chunhui Tower, the child they brought back from Li City was waiting anxiously. He didn't know what kind of fate he was about to face. Will Jun Lingyun help him or kill him?
The door to the room opened with a creak.
The child stood up and looked at Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi who were dressed in luxurious clothes. This time, he revealed his identity without waiting for Jun Lingyun to ask.
"The Crown Prince of Xizhao Kingdom, Xiling Yu, has met Crown Prince Jun and Crown Princess."
Although both of them had guessed that the child might come from a wealthy family, they didn't expect that they would just pick up a child halfway and come back, and he would be a royal nobleman.
Jun Lingyun remembered what Xilingyu had said before.
"My father passed away and my uncle took away the family property?"
There was sadness and hatred in Xiling Yu's eyes.
"Yes, my father was seriously ill and passed away a few days ago. Important ministers and clan members in the court were fighting endlessly. The court was full of smoke and smoke, the people were miserable, and wars broke out among the people."
Jun Lingyun had indeed received a tip-off that the Xizhao Kingdom was not at peace now, but he didn't know yet that the emperor of the Xizhao Kingdom had actually passed away.
Xilingyu's eyes were moist, but he stubbornly refused to shed tears.
"The minister wanted to control me, and the emperor's uncle wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to flee Xizhao Kingdom."
Jun Lingyun can now be sure that the person Xilingyu came to the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom to look for is none other than himself.
"You come to me, do you hope that I can protect your safety, or do you hope that I can send troops to Xizhao Kingdom to help you eliminate dissidents and secure your throne?"
Xilingyu has a composure beyond his age.
"I don't care about the throne, but the people of Xizhao Kingdom are living in dire straits now. In order to expand their power, all parties arbitrarily arrest strong men as soldiers and impose excessive taxes, which makes the people unable to breathe and have no food to eat."
He glanced at Chu Yunxi.
"The prince's husband once saved my life. He told me that if I really want to save the people of Xizhao Kingdom, I must abandon my sectarianism and leave Xizhao Kingdom in the hands of capable people."
Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi were trembling when they heard Xilingyu's words. Leave a country in the hands of capable people and get rid of sectarian opinions!
This is really something that only someone with an extraordinary mind like Sikong Yu can say!
Jun Lingyun was also a little more serious.
"Do you mean to make Xizhao Kingdom surrender to Yunxiao Kingdom?"
Xilingyu shook his head.
"No, I want Xizhao Kingdom to be merged into Yunxiao Kingdom and become part of Yunxiao Kingdom."
Jun Lingyun couldn't help but admire the child. How many people in this world would be willing to give away what they hold in their hands to others?
"Are you really willing to give up? Don't you feel ashamed of your ancestors?"
"Actually, before my father died, he also made an explanation to me. If I cannot control the power in my hands and the Xizhao Kingdom is torn into pieces, the Northern Barbarians will definitely take advantage of the situation and invade. At that time, the people of the Xizhao Kingdom will be
You will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others."
When Xilingyu mentioned his father's last words, he finally couldn't hold back and wiped away his tears.
"My father said that instead of doing this, it is better to seek refuge in Yunxiao Kingdom, which may save thousands of people in Xizhao Kingdom."
Neither Jun Lingyun nor Chu Yunxi expected that they would be frequently shocked by what a child said today.
Although the emperor of Xizhao Kingdom was weak, he was still a good emperor.
Jun Lingyun promised:
"I accept your surrender. The Yunxiao Congress will take over the Xizhao Kingdom and protect the people. Moreover, I will retain the name of Xizhao and establish King Xizhao. However, the position of King Xizhao cannot be occupied by you anymore. You can
willing?"
Xilingyu nodded seriously.
"I am ashamed of the people of Xizhao. I am willing to hand over everything in exchange for the well-being of the people of Xizhao."
Jun Lingyun was very satisfied with his answer.
"Okay, that's it, I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Xilingyu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Prince Jun."
Chu Yunxi blinked, still digesting the current situation. After picking up a child, he gained a country?
However, if this happens, Jun Lingyun will definitely be under great pressure.
The Northern Barbarians will never be willing to stand by and watch. It is not easy to suppress the forces of the Xizhao Kingdom while resisting the eager gaze of the Northern Barbarians.
If the Dongyi Kingdom can send troops to help, the chance of winning will be greatly increased. However, this is a national matter after all, and she cannot threaten her emotionally. Whether Dongfang Huize can agree to send troops is still uncertain.
Thinking that he seemed to be unable to help in this matter. Jun Lingyun must have many details that needed to be discussed with Xiling Yu, so Chu Yunxi took the initiative to leave space for the two of them.
"Ling Yun, I'll go back to Chu Mansion first, and you can chat slowly."
Jun Lingyun nodded. State affairs were boring, and he didn't want to hold Chu Yunxi captive.
After leaving Chunhui Tower, Xiaolian was silent all the way, and then she asked:
"Princess, you went out and picked up a prince and came back?"
Chu Yunxi looked at her angrily and said that picking up a prince was as easy as picking up a cabbage.
"What do you mean? This is called a coincidence. Don't talk nonsense outside."
"oh."
Xiaolian responded, thinking that the folk rumors were not true. Their lady was a goddess descended to earth, bringing good luck with her.
Si Qi burst out laughing when she saw that Xiaolian was frustrated. It seemed that everything was developing in a good direction.
When they returned to General Chu's mansion, Xiao Feifei was already waiting for Chu Yunxi in the mansion. When she saw them coming, she took the initiative to greet them.
"Princess, I have something to ask of you."
Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with sadness.
