Chu Xingchen talked about the business, "Xiang Qiming will be beheaded if nothing else happens. Miss Luo's marriage... I hope she can think about it."
Luo Wan'er's marriage is quite rough. Fortunately, today's situation is different from the real ancient times. Although it will be affected a little, she can still get married and have several husbands if she wants.
Shen Cangzhu hummed, but his instinct prevented him from mentioning it further.
The next day, just as Chu Xingchen said, the final result of the Xiang family came out - the Xiang family was ransacked and beheaded, all the men in the Xiang family were beheaded, and the women were exiled.
But just before he was beheaded, Xiang Qiming suddenly revealed his identity, saying that he was the third-ranked prince of the Emperor of Qi who accidentally wandered away.
"No wonder he wanted to kill the student." Xiang Qiming's identity was exposed, and many things became clear.
The person who blamed Xiang Qiming before was not his biological mother at all, and their behavior did not seem to be an accident. They might have been deliberately changed back then.
He also deliberately killed the students because he had to kill them. To kill Da Chu with such arrogance, it would be best to cancel the imperial examination and avoid turmoil in Qi State.
The imperial examination affected not only Da Chu, but also Qi State.
As his identity was exposed, the envoy from Qi State also arrived, and finally proposed an exchange condition.
The three princes were exchanged for General Qin, the former Pingxi general of Chu.
As soon as this condition was put forward, all the ministers were in an uproar. The reason was for no other reason than that the target was Old General Qin.
The old general of Qin, who was as famous as the great general who protected the country in the past, guarded the Chu State. He spent his entire life as a soldier, resisting the attacks of the Xirong again and again, and made great contributions.
It's a pity that the Queen destroyed the Protector's Palace and the Chu State was in turmoil. Before the General Protector's death, he wanted to take revenge and destroy the State of Chu. He contacted Xirong and acted with the Qi State, borrowing a knife to kill people. The old General Qin fell to the Qi State and his whereabouts are unknown since then. If you don't see people, you won't see corpses.
Everyone knew very well that the Qi State wanted to force General Qin to rebel and betray, so that they could annex the Chu State. Xiang Qiming was also transferred to Dachu that year. The Qi State had a big plan, but it was a pity that General Qin had no bones. Too tough, no matter how much torture and coercion, I just won't agree.
Dachu has always wanted to rescue General Qin, but Qi has always refused to admit it.
Later, everyone thought that General Qin had been tortured to death by the Qi State. However, more than ten years later, a few years ago, news suddenly came from the Qi State that General Qin was still alive, but his condition was not good.
I don’t know whether the news is true or not, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, don’t give up.
The Queen was silent for a long time after going down to court, and said to Chu Xingchen, "The person I am most grateful to in my life is General Qin, and the person I am most grateful to in my life is also him."
She looked at Chu Xingchen and said something that surprised Chu Xingchen, "Your father has been looking for General Qin in Qi State for the past two years. He tried to rescue him but failed. This is also the reason why he does not become the emperor's husband."
Chu Xingchen's father, the emperor's husband, was a taboo in the palace, and no one ever mentioned it. They only knew that he disappeared into the palace, but he didn't expect to save General Qin.
"No matter what Qi's plan is, if they are willing to exchange this time, Da Chu will welcome General Qin back at all costs."
Chu Xingchen stood up and said, "Yes."
Old General Qin and his family are all waiting for him, and they will try their best to rescue him and bring him back no matter what.
As soon as Chu Xingchen came out of the Queen's place, he met Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou. They were both people who had grown up listening to the stories of General Qin.
As a member of the army, Lingzhou asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what did your Majesty say? Do you want to change?"
"Change."
Chu Xingchen's words made both Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou breathe a sigh of relief.
"At that time, I want to personally pick up General Qin. He is still our family's benefactor." Shen Cangzhu talked about the past. When Mrs. Shen took him to offer incense and pray for blessings, he was kidnapped by Xirong's Xizuo, who wanted to force the Shen family to collaborate with the enemy. It was General Qin who saved them.
Shen Cangzhu vaguely remembered that General Qin had hugged him.
Civil servants and generals are generally at odds with each other, and the same goes for General Qin and Shen Shoufu back then, but he still saved people and convinced Shen Shoufu.
"My mother prays for General Qin every year. I thought I would never come back, but I didn't expect..." When my mother received the news, she sent a letter as soon as possible, saying just one sentence: Save General Qin no matter what.
Shen Cangzhu took a deep breath. Chu Xingchen understood his mood and couldn't help but hold his hand, "This time we will let him go home together."
"Yes." Shen Cangzhu tightened her hand and nodded.
Lingzhou was listening to their conversation, but suddenly felt something was wrong. When he saw their hands held together, his eyes suddenly widened.
"What are you doing? Cheating in public." He glanced at Shen Cangzhu, "Brother Cangzhu, are you pretending to be pitiful on purpose?"
After saying that, Lingzhou separated their hands and took Chu Xingchen's hand, "Your Highness, cheer me up. I'll tell you, if Qi State dares to do anything this time, I will crush their Qi State. Rescue General Qin."
The heavy but warm atmosphere was completely destroyed in an instant, but Lingzhou's eyes and words were serious.
Chu Xingchen broke away from his hand and patted his shoulder, "I believe in you and I'll cheer you up."
Lingzhou: "...You were not so encouraging just now."
"You are a battlefield general, don't be so affectionate!" Chu Xingchen put his hands behind his back, "and don't hold my hand at all times."
"I am your young prince now." Ling Zhou walked around behind Chu Xingchen and was just about to make a move when Xia Zhi hurried over, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is looking for you."
Chu Xingchen just came out from the Queen's place and was summoned again because he asked Qiming... no, it should be Qi Ming.
The surname of Qi State was Qi, and Xiang Qiming changed his name back to his own name.
Qi Ming asked for an interview this time as the prince of Qi State. "I will try my best to ensure the safety of General Qin and let him return to Dachu safely, but I also have a small request."
"What request?"
"I want to marry Wan'er."
Qi Ming doesn't want to let go and must marry Luo Waner.
When Xiang Qiming was arrested, the Luo family said that the marriage was off the table, but because of Qi Ming's request, their marriage was put on the agenda again, and this time it was not just a matter for two families.
The marriage between Luo Waner and him has become a marriage between two countries, and the Ministry of Rites is already discussing to make Luo Waner the princess.
The ministers asked Luo to offer wine, but no one asked Luo Wan'er.
Chu Xingchen only asked Qi Ming, "Have you asked Miss Luo about this? Does she agree?"
Qi Ming's expression told Chu Xingchen that he had not asked.
Chu Xingchen thought of the woman he had only met a few times and said, "In late winter, go to Luo Mansion and ask Miss Luo if she is still willing to marry Qi Ming."
Getting married takes a lifetime, let alone marrying to a foreign country.
We arrived at Luofu Mansion in late winter. Luo Mansion was a little confused because of the sudden news. Luo Wan'er sat in front of the window in a daze and didn't move for a while.
Originally, she was embroidering her wedding dress at home, but accidents happened one after another until it turned into what it is today.
The arrival of late winter surprised her, but when she heard Chu Xingchen's question, Luo Wan'er's eyes suddenly became hot.
As soon as Qi Ming's request was made, his mother fainted, his father was called away, and everyone was running around. Even the princess's proposal came out, but no one asked her if she was willing.
The only person who asked her this question was Her Royal Highness.
"I...I don't want to, I don't want to go to Qi." Luo Waner's tears fell.
