Li Qinghan smiled bitterly, feeling helpless in his heart. He was obviously her man, but he wanted her to be the witness of his man's marriage to another woman.
"Qinghan, don't you want to go?"
Li Qinghan was afraid that Princess Ting would think too much, so he shook his head and said: "No, I was thinking about how to give you a wedding speech."
"Ah, Qinghan, you are too outspoken, just say it casually~"
...
Princess Ting was in a particularly good mood after leaving the Fire Temple.
"Well, it's still early, why don't I go see my father~" Princess Ting jumped up and down, and the two maids following her looked at each other in surprise.
"What's wrong with the princess today? She looks so happy?"
"I don't know either, but since the princess' hand was injured, she has been very happy. Do you think she is the prostitute that day?"
"How is it possible, how is it possible for the princess to fall in love with that dandy young man?"
"That's what you said~"
...
In the study room of the floating palace, Zhao Yuntai, the King of United Unification, was having breakfast.
"Your Majesty, Princess Ting is here~"
Zhao Yuntai put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Ting'er came so early, she must have something to do. Just in time, I have an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"Yes~"
Princess Ting came in and saw her father. She was so happy that she ignored Zhao Yuntai while he was still eating. She went up and took his arm and said coquettishly: "Father~~~"
Zhao Yuntai was stunned, then put down his chopsticks with a smile: "Ah, you haven't been so coquettish with your father for a long time, right? Tell me, what good thing happened to you?"
Princess Ting smiled, reached out and picked up a vegetable leaf from the plate, and after eating it into her mouth, she said with a smile: "I met that Wanshanhe~"
"Hmm? Wanshanhe? Is this the Wanshanhe who wants to marry you?"
"Yes. That's him~"
Zhao Yuntai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Looking at your expression, it sounds like you like him?"
"Yeah~" Princess Ting nodded firmly.
Zhao Yuntai shook his head: "Originally, my father thought you would object to this matter, but now it seems that my father has thought too much... Come, Ting'er, sit down and have a meal together, my father wants to hear
Listen, how did you meet him..."
"Okay~~" Princess Ting sat down with Zhao Yuntai on her arm and described the scene when she met Wan Shanhe (Ma Xiaoquan).
"What, that Wan Shanhe, is immune to your blood poison?" Zhao Yuntai put down his chopsticks and said with wide eyes.
"Well, yes, my father is not only immune, but his blood is also poisonous~ Presumably he is immune to my blood poison, because he fights poison with poison, right?"
"Fight fire with fire..." Zhao Yuntai narrowed his eyes slightly, and some past events from long ago suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Father...Father..." Princess Ting waved her hand in front of Zhao Yuntai's eyes several times before Zhao Yuntai came back to his senses.
"Uh~" Zhao Yuntai glanced at his daughter and said, "I heard that Wan Shanhe once had a relationship with the Vulcan Empress, and the Vulcan Empress even treated him for smallpox... Ting'er, you have
Haven’t you asked the Vulcan Empress?”
Princess Ting nodded: "I just came out of the Fire Temple, and Sister Qinghan also agreed to be our witness~"
"Witness?" Zhao Yuntai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed, "It seems that I really can't keep my daughter. The witness did not find his own father, but found someone else to do it. Oh, it's a bit sad~"
Princess Ting smiled: "Father, please don't lie to me. You should be happy. It's been more than a hundred years~"
"Yes, you were hurt by some love affairs in the past, but I don't know if Wanshan Hesuke would mind if you were married before..."
Princess Ting nodded: "Father, I'm worried too~ And I'm no longer perfect, so I'm afraid..."
Zhao Yuntai laughed and comforted his daughter: "You were widowed at first, nothing else. Besides, you don't have any children, and you are a princess. If you remarry, no one dares to say no, otherwise the father and the king will copy you."
He’s full~”
Princess Ting's eyes turned red and she nodded vigorously.
"Father, I heard that you haven't been resting well recently. Did you dream of something again?"
Zhao Yuntai said humbly: "That dream is getting clearer and clearer. I seem to be about to see what that person looks like... Maybe this is the last time I can dream about someone so clearly."
..."
"Who is that person?"
Zhao Yuntai shook his head: "I don't know, but if we are very close, I can feel him..."
"Well, father, no matter what, you should have a good rest. I heard that the king of the Black and Blue Kingdom is slowly getting worse... I don't know if the agreement between you can...
..”
Zhao Yuntai chuckled: "Yang Jie is very smart, so he sent Wan Shanhe to make peace with us. In fact, I have no intention of rebelling against the Heiqing Kingdom. If we unite and unify, we will always be one of the tributaries of the Heiqing Kingdom...
...Ting'er, do you know the real purpose of Yang Jie sending Wan Shanhe here this time?"
Princess Ting smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not know? It's for Hongzhou, right?"
"Yes, due to the existence of unity in recent years, the various ethnic groups and forces in Hongzhou have been relatively balanced. However, since the influence of the King of Yue penetrated into Hongzhou, the balance has slowly begun to tilt..."
"Father, I heard that the most difficult people to offend in Hongzhou are the Baiyi clan..."
"Well, that's right. Although the Baiyi clan has only a small number of people, it can be said that all members of the clan can fight. Moreover, the Baiyi clan is inherently talented. The King of Yue brought the Baiyi clan over. This was a clever move...
....”
"But father, my daughter also heard that the reason why the Baiyi tribe surrendered to the King of Yue was because the King of Yue took advantage of them, and the Baiyi tribe had no choice but to surrender. If we can find out what the King of Yue took away from the Baiyi tribe, maybe
Their alliance can be broken up. As long as the Baiyi clan and the King of Yue fall out, we may have a chance..."
"Having said that, the Baiyi Clan is just a small clan in Hongzhou. Hongzhou is so big, and the Baiyi Clan is too small to be considered a big clan. The really difficult ones are those who have already fought with the Wanshi Kingdom and other countries.
There are colluding tribes, and it may not be that easy to conquer them one by one... Hey, if my father were twenty years younger, he would definitely conquer them himself~"
Princess Ting shook her head and said: "Decades ago, my father was known as the 'Arrogant God of Killing'. He killed countless people..."
"Hey, that was all decades ago. Now my father's health is getting worse day by day. He is no longer worthy of being arrogant and killing gods."
"If my father is not worthy, how can Wan Shanhe be worthy?" Princess Ting said.
Zhao Yuntai chuckled: "Maybe, if he really wants to attack Hongzhou now, I'm afraid he will kill more than his father did back then..."
"Father, my daughter doesn't understand why you had to kill someone decades ago?"
Zhao Yuntai shook his head: "Ting'er, you also know some of your father's abilities, right?"
"Well~ It's just that one day later, my father suddenly..."
Zhao Yuntai said: "My father was able to kill so many people in the beginning only because of that thing in my father's body. With it, my father's power can flow out continuously, because no one can kill your father."
, so your father was so confident that he even went to the enemy's stronghold to kill his commander alone..."
"Father, are you talking about the 'Heart of Time'? You have said it before... But Father, if that thing was in your body, why did it disappear later?"
Zhao Yuntai shook his head: "Because I overused it, it backfired on me as the host and escaped."
"Backlash? Father, that Heart of Time you mentioned, is he conscious?"
"Yes, conscious~" At this point, Zhao Yuntai said suddenly, "Father always has a feeling that people like him will definitely come back..."
A trace of evil flashed in Princess Ting's eyes: "If he dares to come back, why don't my father kill him? Then take back the Heart of Time?"
"Haha, Ting'er, you are thinking too much... Some things, since they have left you, even if you take them back by force, will not be used by you again. Moreover, if one day, father and king
When the person with the heart of time in his body meets, he will not be his opponent at all..."
"Well, since my father has said so, Ting'er won't say much."
Zhao Yuntai said: "Ting'er, in fact, my father has lived for so long, and he has already thought about it. Before you were born, very long ago, my father was also an outsider. How can he be an outsider in this world?"
In fact, my father is already satisfied with this kind of achievement. What he wants has been achieved over the years. Now, he wants to enjoy the fun of growing old day by day with peace of mind until he dies."
"Hey~" Princess Ting also sighed, "Why is the father's wish not Ting'er's wish? In the past hundred years, Ting'er has lived enough. In fact, Ting'er had made up her mind earlier to live a good life.
."
"Haha, Ting'er, you can't give up on yourself. This unified king can only be done by you."
"Me? Why me? Can't Wen Yi and Wen Qiang them?"
"Haha, how could they do this? Wen Yi has already disappointed me for the sake of a Vulcan Empress. Wen Qiang is too cruel, and the rewards and punishments are unclear. If he becomes the king, this alliance may be swallowed up by Hongzhou.
.....Ting'er, when my father used to handle government affairs, you have always been beside me to make suggestions. Now, it is your turn to assume this position as king~"
"Father..."
"Listen to what I have to say..." Zhao Yuntai said, "The Hongzhou matter is actually the last agreement between Yang Jie and I, but I can't complete it, so I have to leave it to you, only you, Ting'er
, only you can help my father fulfill his unfinished wish."
