Xuan Tiange told Feng Yu Heng: "Actually, I did not guess it on my own. It's because this morning, that person sent many large chests to Wen Xuan Palace. Each chest was filled with rare treasures, and they specifically said that they were for me. At that time, my Father King said that it looked like a betrothal gift. Just now, when I heard your conversation, I suddenly thought that if that person wants to save Uncle Emperor, he definitely would not save him for nothing. The condition that he gave, it wouldn't be … for me to marry into Gu Shu, right? "
When she said this, her voice sounded calm, but there was nervousness on her face. She felt that she had guessed correctly, but she also hoped that she had guessed wrong. It was very contradictory.
Feng Yu Heng could see the anxiety in her heart, but she still sighed and nodded, "I will not hide it from you. It really is this condition. Earlier, the Imperial Palace Yu received a letter from eldest cousin from the South, and the higher-ups brought up this matter with a secret letter. Your ninth brother and I did not respond directly, and we did not dare mention it to you first. We were afraid that you would agree rashly because you wanted to save His Majesty. That's why we brought up having him come to the capital personally. First, we wanted to understand if he really has the ability to save Father Emperor. Second, we also wanted to see if we could change this condition. After all, Gu Shu is far from Dashun, and it's even further from the capital. If you marry over there because of love, it's fine, but if it's because of this reason, we will feel apologetic. "
She was speaking the truth. Even though Xuan Tiange was older than her by two years, in the end, it was just her body that was younger. In reality, her soul was already 30 years old. Xuan Tiange was just a younger sister to her. She also doted on this girl. As long as she thought of marrying far away for the sake of the safety of her country, her heart would feel very uncomfortable.
The women living in the center of political power had to endure too much. Marriage and marriage, put plainly, was it not marrying someone that they did not love for the sake of the stability of the country and political goals? Going out was selling one's own life, but to talk about whether a person's happiness was more important or the stability of the country, it sounded like the stability of the country should be chosen. People were like this. Once there was a responsibility, once there was a choice, there were many things that they could not control. It was like this in ancient times, and it was the same in the future.
"If he can really save Uncle Emperor and restore him to how he was before, then … I will marry him." Xuan Tiange was silent for a while, saying firmly: "I am the only girl in this generation of the Xuan family, this is my life, and it is also my responsibility and duty. I had to risk my life for Dashun, and no one could change that. Heng Heng, you don't have to be sad. Just look at how I have long passed the marriageable age and have yet to discuss marriage. Even if there is no Gu Shu ruler, there are still others. In this lifetime, I will never follow my heart and marry an ordinary man. " As she spoke, she thought of the Gu Shu ruler that she had some affinity with and could not help but smile, "This is good too, no matter what, the person I am marrying is someone I have seen and interacted with, it is better than being sent to a foreign country for no reason and then marrying someone I have never seen before, that would be even more tragic," She looked at Feng Yu Heng, squeezing out a smile and saying, "That person is actually not bad, isn't he? At the very least, his looks are alright and he's worthy of me. Also … … there are only three beauties in the imperial harem, it is not considered many. "
She said it casually, but Feng Yu Heng could see the mist hidden in her eyes. Marrying far away from home, no girl would be willing, right? Even if there was love in their hearts, marrying to such a far place, far away from home, far away from their parents, was not an easy decision. But Xuan Tiange nodded and agreed just like that, for the sake of Dashun's stability and Emperor Tianwu's health.
She suddenly felt that being a princess was not good at all, it was better to be a normal citizen, regardless of wealth, at least she could marry someone she knew well. That Gu Shu ruler might be someone she had met and interacted with, but how was his character? How was the situation in Gu Shu's imperial palace? These were all unknown. She held Xuan Tiange's hand, telling her seriously: "Even though I am younger than you, but I am your Ninth Sister-in-law now, no matter if we are relatives or sisters, there are some things that I have to say clearly to you. Tiange, Dashun's benefits are important, but from my personal point of view, I hope to see you happy more. This is not the only way to cure Father Emperor's Gu poison, rather than using your lifelong happiness as an exchange, I would rather find another method. I am not the only one who thinks this way, your Ninth Brother is the same, we do not want to see you marrying far away to Gu Shu because of this. That place … … is too far, if something really happens, I'm afraid that I would not be able to go and help you in time! "
With her saying this, Xuan Tiange's tears flowed out immediately, she could not control her emotions, hugging Feng Yu Heng and crying loudly.
However, after crying, she still said resolutely: "I will marry!"
When Xuan Tiange returned to the palace, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but her emotions had already been adjusted. It was just that her maid, Han-er, who was following her, did not adjust her emotions so quickly, she was still sniffling. Han-er had been by her side the entire time and knew about everything that happened in the Imperial Palace Yu. Now that she had returned to the palace and faced the chests that were placed in the corner of the courtyard and had not been put away, her emotions were very complicated.
But Xuan Tiange had already changed from when she first saw those things in the morning, she ordered the servant who was guarding the items: "Take these things away, put them all in the storeroom, record them in Wen Xuan Palace's account."
That servant was stunned and could not help but ask: "His Highness said not to take them away first, it would be best if the person who gave these things could take them back, Princess's meaning is … …"
"Take them." She said coldly: "These things were given to This Princess, then I can make the decision, if I tell you to take them away, just say it, I will explain it to Father Emperor."
With her speaking, the servants did not say anything else, hurriedly taking care of moving the chests one by one to the storeroom in the backyard. She brought Han-er back to her own courtyard and did not come out for the entire day.
The movements in the front yard could not be hidden from the other two masters in the palace, King Wen Xuan and Princess Wen Xuan. Especially Princess Wen Xuan, when she heard that Xuan Tiange had accepted those gifts, her heart chilled, but she also immediately understood what was going on. She did not say much about this matter, only ordering the servants to prepare some of Xuan Tiange's favourite dishes and send them over, then had the housekeeper inform all the servants in the palace, from now on, no matter what request Princess Wuyang made, no one was allowed to ask for the reason, they had to do it. Although the palace had always been obedient to Xuan Tiange, from today onwards, it had to be even more obedient, there could not be any objections.
The servants did not understand what was going on, but the husband and wife understood too well. King Wen Xuan let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid that this daughter will not be kept for long." After saying this, he raised his hand and wiped his face, saying: "It's just that I don't know if this result is good or bad. Lan-er, how I wish that I was just a normal man, that way at least my daughter's marriage would not have so many considerations, I can let her choose on her own, she can marry whoever she likes, regardless of power, wealth or wealth. "
Princess Wen Xuan wiped her tears from what he said, asking repeatedly: "My Lord, who do you think that person is? Why did Tiange agree after going out for a while? I keep feeling that there is something going on here, but who should I ask? "
King Wen Xuan said: "She went to the Imperial Palace Yu today, she should have discussed it with Old Ninth's wife. That is a child with her own ideas, if she could not persuade her, Tiange has a reason to marry. And our daughter is a princess, who can force her not to marry? Beloved concubine, think about it, there must be someone coming to Dashun! "
With King Wen Xuan and Princess Wen Xuan's brains, it was not hard to guess who the person who sent the gifts was, or at least which faction they represented. But they were not willing to believe it, after all, that place was too far … …
That night, Xuan Tianming came to Wen Xuan King Manor, spending the entire night with King Wen Xuan. Three days later, in the night, Fan Tianli entered the Imperial Palace Yu again, in front of Xuan Tianming, Xuan Tianhua, Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tiange, he took out a bright red scorpion from his mouth … …
"From the day a Gu clansman is born, the clan elder will choose a poisonous creature as his life Gu." Fan Tianli looked at the few of them, solemnly explaining this Gu battle to them, he said: "The strength and weakness of the life Gu are not completely formed after birth, there are also differences in the innate choice. The harder a person's life is, the more poisonous the Gu worm they will be bestowed. On the contrary, if it is just an ordinary talent, and there are no outstanding Gu Masters in the clan, then he will only be bestowed a very ordinary Gu worm, without much ability. "
As he spoke, he held up that red scorpion in his hand, as if he was looking at a treasure, and also as if he was looking at his own child, even reaching out to touch that red scorpion's back a few times. That red scorpion immediately responded, spitting out its tongue and playing around on his hand, looking very happy.
But Xuan Tiange almost vomited, especially when Fan Tianli took out the scorpion from his mouth, she observed carefully, that was clearly spat out from his stomach. Once she thought about how this person was actually raising a scorpion in his stomach, she could not help but start to tremble, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.
Feng Yu Heng kept holding her hand to comfort her, at the same time reminding her softly: "It's not too late to regret it now."
But Xuan Tiange shook her head resolutely, she said: "I don't regret it. I am Dashun's princess, once a promise is made, it cannot be taken back. "
Fan Tianli seemed to have heard her saying this, suddenly casting his gaze over, a warm smile appearing on his originally stern face. That kind of smile did not match the image of the scorpion in his hand at all, it was like two different worlds of darkness and light, causing Xuan Tiange to be dazed for a moment.
Fan Tianli's words continued, he said: "Not everyone in Gu Shu knows how to use Gu, even until now, there are very few people who truly know Gu techniques, only a few clans still hold the secrets of Gu techniques. And as the birthplace of Gu techniques, Gu Shu's imperial Fan clan is naturally the strongest Gu Master, almost every member of the imperial family has inherited this ability, at the same time, they also have a close grasp of the movements of all the existing Gu clans in Gu Shu's territory. This is also the reason why we know that there are Gu people who have close relations with Dashun's Liu clan … "
