Liu Zi Yan was pregnant, and Jingchen came to propose marriage the next day. Surprisingly, Liu Zi Yan did not object this time and agreed to Jingchen's request.
Because she was pregnant, the wedding preparations were rushed.
Shi Sheng went to take a look. The scene was not grand, but it was thoughtful.
Jingchen, the supporting male lead, was very good.
After the wedding, Liu Ziyan's news stopped.
…
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good …" Secret Guard A rushed in. His voice could probably be heard by the entire palace.
"Who's not good?" Shi Sheng was speechless. She had shouted so loudly that people who didn't know better would think that she was the one who was not good.
Hidden Guard A pointed in the direction of the city gate. "Dan Ming, Dan Ming has brought an army to declare war. He wants … wants Her Highness to hand over Young Master Qi."
"Chi Yao hasn't rebelled yet?" Shi Sheng asked subconsciously.
Secret Guard A: "…"
What's with your regretful tone?
Chi Yao had the astute Prime Minister Su and the Dan family, who would dare to rebel?
Do you think everyone is as awesome as you?
Just as Secret Guard A finished his report, someone from the palace arrived. It was her cheap uncle, the current crown prince.
Originally, the title of Crown Prince was supposed to be bestowed to Shi Sheng, but Shi Sheng was not interested, so the title fell to Sima Yang.
Sima Yang was here to ask her what she should do.
It was definitely impossible to fight Chi Yao.
Chi Yao's military strength was much stronger than Northern Liang's. If they fought, only Northern Liang would be at a disadvantage. Most importantly, most of Northern Liang's soldiers were under Chu Luo's control. They still had to rely on her to lead the troops into battle.
Sima Yang's intention was to return him first.
If she really liked him, she would first regain her identity as a woman and then marry him in a political marriage.
To be able to reach a peace treaty with Beiliang was the best for Beiliang and the people of the world.
"We agree with the Crown Prince," Qi Yuan said in all seriousness.
"Shut up." Shi Sheng glared at him.
Qi Yuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
Sima Yang was surprised. Since she was so obedient, it seemed like he didn't have to worry about her being bullied in the future.
Although Shi Sheng was a little reluctant, she finally agreed to return to her female identity and marry Chi Yao as a princess.
Her hidden mission was not to marry Qi Yuan, but to fulfill the Hundred Year Alliance between Beiliang and Chi Yao.
Qi Yuan represented Red Radiance and signed a hundred year alliance with Northern Liang.
Within a hundred years, the two countries would not go to war.
Qi Yuan sent someone to send a message to Dan Ming, asking him to prepare the betrothal gifts.
When Dan Ming received the news, he was in a bad mood. He had been forced by the old master to ask for the bride, but he had failed to do so. Now, he had to pay the betrothal gifts?
However, he had no choice but to give the betrothal gift. If he did not give it to His Majesty, he would not be able to get it back.
How was this a betrothal gift?
This was a ransom!
He had already anticipated that the narration of his majesty being recorded in the annals of history would definitely not be anything good.
Dan Ming left the army at the border and hurried back to prepare the betrothal gifts. According to Qi Yuan's instructions, he had almost emptied the treasury of all the good things.
The ministers of the imperial court were filled with grief and hatred, wishing they could immediately rebel in front of Qi Yuan.
This back and forth delay took another few months.
Shi Sheng heard that Liu Ziyan's child was gone, and the culprit was Chu Luo's new lover. Chu Luo didn't say anything about this. She didn't protect her new lover or seek justice for Liu Ziyan.
After Liu Ziyan lost her child, her intelligence suddenly returned and she punished the person who had caused her child's death. Liu Ziyan's actions touched Chu Luo's reverse scale. From then on, Chu Luo and her relationship became incompatible.
Liu Ziyan felt that if Chu Luo hadn't indulged her, her child wouldn't have been gone. Although she resisted Pure Dust, the child was innocent.
On the eighth day of the seventh month, the betrothal gifts kept entering the city gates, attracting the attention of the common people.
The new emperor had already publicly announced Shi Sheng's identity as a woman. Now that the old dynasty was gone, whether or not Shi Sheng was a woman, he naturally wasn't guilty of deceiving the emperor.
Many young ladies' hearts were broken.
However, when they found out that Shi Sheng was a girl, the rumors about the two of them in the imperial city disappeared.
…
At the same time, the Seven Star Passion Poison in Chu Luo's body acted up.
Chu Luo lay on the bed, feeling a little dizzy. The people around her came and went.
The room gradually quietened down, and there seemed to be someone standing beside her.
Chu Luo turned her head and looked at the person standing beside her. Her vision was a little blurry.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. After a while, he said, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Ziyan looked at him indifferently. "I can save you."
"No need."
"I didn't say I wanted to save you." Liu Ziyan sneered. Back then, when her child had been miscarried, he had stood by the side and watched.
He only needed to give the order and her child wouldn't have been gone.
"Then why are you here?" Chu Luo's voice was hoarse. "Are you here to laugh at me? Now that you've seen enough, get lost! "
"Chu Luo, I'll wait for the moment you beg me." Liu Ziyan left the room after saying this.
Liu Ziyan didn't wait for Chu Luo to beg her. What she waited for was for Chu Luo's men to capture her.
Perhaps Chu Luo didn't know, or perhaps she did. Liu Ziyan didn't know.
They asked Liu Ziyan to tell them the method to cure the Seven Star Passion Poison. How would Liu Ziyan know that she was just lying to Chu Luo back then?
She wanted him to experience the pain of having hope in his heart but despair in the end.
Liu Ziyan didn't speak, so those people tortured her.
In the end, Liu Ziyan was almost on her last breath.
Liu Ziyan wondered why she had ended up like this.
Everything had been going smoothly before, but ever since …
Yes, that woman.
Ever since she came, everything about her had become abnormal.
"Ziyan, Ziyan, wake up …" A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Liu Ziyan's slightly dazed consciousness gradually returned to her.
She looked at the person in front of her and her pupils suddenly constricted. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to save you. Don't be afraid." Qing Chen released the rope on her body. "I'll take you out now."
Qing Chen picked her up and took her out of the dungeon.
However, as soon as the two of them walked out of the dungeon, they were surrounded.
"Young Master Qing Chen, we've been waiting for a long time." The leader looked at Qing Chen.
Qing Chen didn't seem surprised. "I can go with you, but you have to let Ziyan go."
"Sure." The man chuckled.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Ziyan grabbed Qing Chen's collar and widened her eyes. "Why did you agree to them?"
Qing Chen patted her lightly and looked at the man. "I want to send Ziyan away first."
"Young Master Qing Chen, your request is a little difficult for me …"
"Since I've agreed, I won't go back on my word. Send her to a safe place and I'll follow you."
The man hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Then we'll do as Young Master Qing Chen says. However, Young Master Qing Chen, you have to understand that if you go back on your word, Miss Liu won't have a good ending either. "
*
Ah, Qing Chen was going to die.
She didn't want to kill him. After all, his name was so nice.
However, she thought that if the Shi Sheng interfered, it wouldn't be in line with her character, so Qing Chen could go in peace!
