Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Nine Return to Nanling Country
"My daughter-in-law has met her mother-in-law and wishes her well." Concubine Jing's face remained as usual and she bowed to the Crown Princess.
When the Crown Princess heard Concubine Jing's voice, she paused and looked a little embarrassed, "Get down."
"Thank you, Concubine Mother." Concubine Jing stood up straight and glanced at Binglan who was kneeling on the ground.
Binglan didn't expect Concubine Jing to come. She was so frightened that she buried her head deeply and remained silent.
"Binglan, go make a pot of tea." The Crown Princess ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes. I'll go right now." Binglan was pardoned and immediately stood up and retreated.
"Concubine Jing, you don't have to stand, sit down and talk." The Crown Princess looked at Concubine Jing with a kind face, "You came to the Ai family, but something happened?"
Concubine Jing did not sit down, but knelt down directly, "My daughter-in-law asked my mother-in-law to help King Han! King Han cannot be without a queen!"
The imperial concubine's heart softened and she helped Concubine Jing up, "The Ai family watched Lao Wu grow up. As long as he can help Lao Wu without you asking for mercy, the Ai family will do it. It's just that the incident happened suddenly. I think
It is not easy to find a miracle doctor who can treat Lao Wu's injury. It takes time and cannot be rushed."
"If your wife was more sensible, she wouldn't be like this."
When Concubine Jing heard this, she burst into anxious tears and sobbed in a low voice, "My daughter-in-law has no choice but to be anxious! The emperor just granted King Han a marriage, and this happened! Princess Minghui is probably dissatisfied.
The wedding is cancelled, what will King Han do?"
She also wanted to go to Xie Yao, but Xie Yao didn't understand current affairs and was determined to make peace with Chu Han. Now she won't listen to anyone!
Seeing this, the Crown Princess gently advised: "Please be patient. Lao Wu's injury is a foregone conclusion. You cannot ask Princess Minghui to marry into Prince Han's palace, and wait for you to find a miracle doctor to treat Lao Wu. Wan
If Yi Laowu's injuries cannot be treated, he will really have no future for the rest of his life. Wouldn't it be a harm to Princess Minghui?"
"If this matter is reported back to Nanling Kingdom, the relationship between our allies may turn into enemies. Do you want to add powerful enemies to Wanqi Kingdom for the sake of Lao Wu?"
Concubine Jing was frightened and quickly bowed, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare! My daughter-in-law definitely doesn't mean this!"
The Crown Princess sighed, "The Ai family also knows that you don't mean it, but it is true. If you really ask Princess Minghui to marry into Prince Han's palace, the war between the two countries will be imminent. It will be a matter of time before the engagement is cancelled, and no wonder Princess Minghui
."
"If you want Lao Wu to marry Princess Minghui, then just like the Ai family, do your best to find a miracle doctor who can cure Lao Wu's injury! The sooner you find it, the greater the chance! If it's too late, then Princess Minghui will also
I can only marry another prince."
Concubine Jing raised her eyes, a little nervous, "Has the Emperor already planned to marry Princess Minghui to another prince?"
The Crown Princess shook her head, "The Emperor hasn't said it yet, but this is inevitable. The marriage between the two countries is inevitable. Since I can't shoulder this important task, it will naturally be handed over to other princes."
Concubine Jing stopped talking, thought for a moment, and looked downcast, "Princess Minghui will not marry into Prince Han's palace. Princess Han is indifferent to Prince Han at this time. She will also divorce him soon. Prince Han..."
Before she finished speaking, she thought of the tragic situation Chu Han was about to face and was about to cry again.
Chu Han's marriage to Princess Minghui was originally a good thing that received strong support, but why did it turn into a tragic situation where the backyard of Prince Han's mansion was deserted?
When the Crown Princess heard this, her expression turned cold, "Princess Han wants to divorce? The Ai family is the first to disagree!"
Concubine Jing felt a little better after hearing what the Crown Princess said so categorically, "Thank you for your support, concubine! Concubine Han was driven back to Pingdong Hou Mansion. She was dissatisfied. She had said this more than once, even to Prince Han last time.
During the diagnosis, I mentioned it all in front of the emperor."
The Crown Princess frowned slightly, "What did the Emperor say?"
"The emperor said that we can wait until King Han wakes up to discuss everything. Later, Princess Han went to see King Han for medical treatment and said that she could not cure King Han's injuries." Concubine Jing deliberately brought this matter up.
She was also present at the time, and she felt suspicious after hearing what Xie Yao said.
Xie Yao clearly didn’t want to treat Chu Han and wanted to use this to reconcile!
Otherwise, with Xie Yao's medical skills, even if Chu Han cannot be cured, there is absolutely no way to improve Chu Han's injury!
The Crown Princess's face suddenly darkened, "How dare you! How dare she use this as a threat? Someone, go and summon Princess Han to the palace for the Ai family. The Ai family has something to say to her!"
Seeing this, Concubine Jing quickly stopped her, "Concubine, please calm down. The Emperor has already issued a decree for Princess Han to return to the palace to take care of Prince Han. Let her stay in Prince Han's residence for the time being. Anyway, there will be no reconciliation now."
"That's fine, the Ai family will let her plead guilty and perform meritorious service in Prince Han's Mansion! If she still wants to use Prince Han's injury as a threat to reconcile, the Ai family will never agree!" The Crown Princess' voice was cold.
"Daughter-in-law, thank you, concubine." Concubine Jing bowed, her anxious heart calming down a little.
…
Beijing, inn.
Princess Minghui held the book in her hand, but her eyes fell on nothing, slightly absent-minded.
"Princess, princess?" Ruobing called out, her voice a little urgent.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Princess Minghui came back to her senses and looked over.
"Princess, there is a message from your flying pigeon." Ruobing pointed to the corner.
There was a carrier pigeon there, which was used to deliver messages to the princess. The princess always married messages with her own hands, so she just closed the doors and windows and did not touch the carrier pigeon.
Princess Minghui's eyes lit up slightly when she saw the carrier pigeon. She immediately stepped forward and took off the letter from the pigeon's leg, unfolded the letter, and looked at it with her beautiful eyes.
The content of the letter is very concise: King Han's injury has damaged the root and cannot be cured.
Princess Minghui frowned, read the words carefully again, clenched her hands subconsciously, and her face darkened.
Ruobing looked at the deformed letter in the princess's hand and was a little worried, "Princess, you..."
"Get out, I'm fine." Princess Minghui ordered with a normal expression, her expression seemed to be no different from when she just picked up the book.
Ruobing glanced at Princess Minghui uneasily again and could only leave.
At this time, the door was opened from the outside, and Ling Yu walked in, "Sister Huang, the weather is nice today, please accompany me for a walk. You have been staying in the room for the past two days and have never gone out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the atmosphere here was not quite right. He looked at Princess Minghui carefully and asked, "Sister Huang, what happened?"
Princess Minghui's eyes moved, "Ruobing, close the door."
"Yes." Ruobing immediately withdrew and closed the door.
Princess Minghui's eyes fell on the letter paper in her hand, she unfolded the letter as if nothing had happened, then folded it a few times and put it into her sleeve, "It's a letter from the capital, asking when I will marry Prince Han."
Ling Yu frowned, with some doubts in his eyes, "I heard from the people outside that King Han can no longer have heirs. I don't know if it's true or not."
"It's true." Princess Minghui had no intention of hiding it, but she was a little surprised that the matter spread so quickly.
"In this case, let's go back to Nanling Kingdom. If you don't want to go back, we can go to Dongao Kingdom or Nanzhao Kingdom. Wherever the emperor wants to go, we will go." Ling Yu said directly.
King Han cannot have any heirs, so the imperial sister cannot marry King Han, and there is no point in staying.
